An Inherent Power We All Share
Everyone has a great power within to observe, heal and manifest. Michaël has felt a connection with that source since he started his spiritual journey at the age of 14. Four years later he was able to heal and recover from a devastating car crash due to the powerful methods of QiGong and Yoga, and the Grace of God. Medical professionals considered this recovery almost impossible. Since then, Michaël has dedicated his life to helping others learn those powerful techniques.
Living a Life in Service
Michaël traveled the world for over a decade to deepen his study and practice in the power of mind and body focusing on Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Pranayama, QiGong, and other ancient methods. He developed a set of integrated techniques to cultivate that ‘Light Within’, to awaken your inner wisdom and realize your full potential. Michaël's teachings are inspired by the masters he studied with, by Life, and by the wisdom that flows from being connected with one’s true source.
Since 2010 he has settled in Sagres, Portugal, to share his wisdom. He wakes up every day to help others realize one’s true essence and live a more healthy, purposeful, and empowered life.
Courses to Awaken the Potential of Your Mind & Body
Michaël is one of the world's leading Pranayama and Breathwork teachers. He is a certified 800hr (Yoga Alliance 500 E-RYT) teacher with a Yoga Therapy Certification from Paramanand Institute of Yoga Sciences & Research, Indore, where he studied under the loving and wise guidance of Dr. Omanand - Guruji. He has been teaching Breathwork, Meditation, QiGong, and Yoga since 2009.
It is Michaël's strong belief that knowledge is to share and should not be about money. Therefore he offers the courses on a 'pay what you can' basis and offers them for free to those that cannot financially afford them.
Improve Your Mental & Physical Health With Meditation, QiGong & Breathwork
Everyone has a wonderful power within. A power to observe, heal and manifest. When one has truly felt this source within, one will live one's life in the service of others, because that is the true purpose of our life. We are all one and connected in spirit.
Life Awareness Project Philosophy
"Learn the importance of manifesting your life. You have a great power to manifest, heal and create in life. Many of us are not aware of this and life for them has become a purposeless struggle. A bit like a boat that is floating on the ocean without a captain, without a destination.
Life is like a great ocean of potential that we are sailing on. You are the captain of your own ship sailing through this ocean and being able to set your own destination and create your life. To reach your destination, you have to prepare and understand your ship, pay attention to the weather, and be aware of the ocean at large.
Your Awareness and ability to use the power of the mind determine your potential to create your desired life and reach your destination. They also determine how you experience your journey: full of struggle, disappointment, and conflict, or a joyful and adventurous ride in which you can embrace the opportunities life throws at you.
In daily life, we often forget to pay attention and to stay aware in this ocean of life. Therefore, many of us are feeling we are not 'sailing' in the direction in life we want to go. To be present in the moment, the NOW, God, the Creator, or whatsoever: you have to become sensitive and conscious. When you awaken and experience that you are a part of this Life or Creation the way it is part of us, life starts flowing and you can create with the universal force a harmonious and abundant life for yourself and others.
Mastering your State of Mind
You are a conscious, sensitive, and creative being who experiences life with body and mind. If you don’t understand their workings, you become a victim of the negative states that your thoughts and actions create. But when you learn to ‘correctly tune’ body and mind, a harmonious life unfolds in and around you, and you become the true architect of your Life.
To do this there are some very powerful, yet simple techniques that I would like to share with you.
May all be blessed with peace, love, and wisdom"
