Successful Author and Spiritual Counselor Dorien Israel:

In 1984, at the age of 37, I was in a serious car accident that resulted in a near death experience. It presented me with the gift of being able to channel direct guidance. Over the following years this information became the basis of three books: Unbound, Tao Passages and The Way to the One I Am. I began to live what was channeled and found it to be profoundly authentic and practical. Growing naturally out of reader’s response, transformational workshops and individual sessions began to develop.

In 1987 I moved to Asia, where for the next five years I continued to lead workshops as well as deepen my own ongoing spiritual practices of Yoga, Qi Gong and meditation.

When I returned to USA in 1993 I felt extremely alienated from Western culture – consumed by its own excesses and in response I suffered clinical depression which began what I call my “Prozac days”. Out of this suffering emerged an irrepressible longing to know the TRUTH. In 1997 after a lifetime of material success and spiritual searching, I moved to Koh Samui to align my inner vision and values with my outer way of life. Leaving a 32 year marriage and all the material trappings that accompany the life of a Diplomat’s wife, I rented  a primitive bungalow. For the next four years, I journeyed inward, remaining in relative stillness, silence and solitude to see if God really existed.

Without the usual distraction of the outer world the conditioned “me” began to slowly settle, revealing naturally WHO I TRULY AM. This is now what I share with others in these sessions.

At 62 years of age this body has astonishingly taken to exquisite practice of Ashtanga Yoga. The gratitude I feel each morning as I approach the mat is a metaphor for every other aspect of this blessed life.
