Through a series of synchronistic life changes, Ambika was brought into contact with healers and psychics who encouraged and helped her hone and develop her innate talents and abilities. As a writer, intuitive reader and healer with an interest in comparative theology and world mythologies, she has investigated a wide range of of avenues for spiritual expression. Her individual consultations reflect her wide ranging interests; Tarot, Runes, Egyptian Cartouche and the Dakini Oracle.She believes by exploring and reclaiming her feminine wisdom she is able to open her mind, heart and soul to offer help in constructive ways. She encourages people to embrace change and nurture themselves, helping them to re-discover fun, creativity and abundance in their lives.

Ambika has also trained in modalities such as Reiki, Tibetan Yoga, and Astrology, as well as completed a certified course in counselling. She believes a structured approach would be beneficial to her clients and is keen on bridging the gap between mainstream and alternative therapies. Her workshops on divinatory tools such as Tarot and Runes are well-received and she also offers workshops designed to empower women as well as those based on more esoteric teachings centred on pagan and earth religions.

The tarot is usually seen as a means of ascertaining information and guidance from one’s inner consciousness, spiritual beings as well as representing archetypes that we can identify with. In fact, psychologists now use tarot cards as tools to help clients articulate how they view themselves.

All of us remember our past with a mixture of regret and joy; tarot cards could be used to understand how the past has brought about the possibilities inherent in the current moment while giving us a glimpse into a future we can prepare for. Properly interpreted and described, the guidance offered by the cards would often contain stunningly accurate information about the issue being considered. The tarot enables a person to consider the different areas of their lives, with an approach that is both systematic and insightful. In additions, the symbols on the cards are ideal for meditation as well as creative visualization. Tarot cards have been used successfully in conjunction with numerology, astrology and other esoteric fields of study.

Runes date from the Bronze Age and are believed to have been utilized by the Vikings both as an alphabet as well as an oracular instrument. The term ‘rune’ comes from a German word meaning ‘mystery’ and perfectly describes the attraction and powers these magnificent symbols hold for us. Runes are also featured in some of the recent century’s greatest fantasy literature, most notably, the Lord of the Rings.

Runes offer an opportunity for individuals to tap into the wellspring of their own unconscious where the knowledge necessary for personal growth and fulfillment rest. Runes are a tool much in the way that Tarot Cards and the I-Ching are, helping us uncover our own gifts and guiding us on the path to self-discovery.

In addition to being an oracular device, runes are also used as talismans and amulets for health, wealth and protection.

Cartouche is referred to as an “oracle of Ancient Egyptian Magic” and is based on the teachings of the Egyptian “older” knowledge and not to be confused with the Tarot. Cartouche cards use the extremely powerful symbols of the ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. A Cartouche reading is a potent guide to your spiritual, emotional and mental health and success.

The Cartouche cards revealed in your reading may even be used as powerful symbols of protection and meditation. Thus, these readings tend not only to be a guidance and advisory device for the client but can also be practically applied in the life of the client.

Warning: Always consult the cartouche reader before using a symbol for meditation or even as decoration. These Egyptian archetypes are extremely potent and are not to be used indiscriminately.

Your natal chart can be considered the blue-print for your life. By understanding the influence of the celestial bodies, astrology can help to provide not only a psychological profile, but insight into the possibilities inherent in your life situation.

Every individual is gifted in unique ways; unfortunately, we may not always be placed in a position to manifest those gifts properly. A detailed analysis of your natal chart can assist you to understand your inner motivations, aspirations and direct you toward a more fulfilling life.

Shakespeare said, “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune”. Astrology can be the barometer of the ebbs and flows in your life, helping you capitalize on favorable periods and prepare for more challenging ones.

If you are interested in techniques that can help you find lasting peace and serenity, this series of sessions may hold the key. All of us have a  specific life purpose, over and above our innate talents or gifts; to accept ourselves without reservations, guilt, fear or embarrassment. This is not about your life-style, profession, social status, or politics. Do terms such as “bully”, “victim”, “martyr” resonate? Do you find yourself torn between familial/social responsibilities and your own dreams?When you are comfortable in your own skin, no one can cause you to doubt yourself, but more importantly, you can then be an inspiration to others, by virtue of being yourself!  This may seem simplistic, but many of us struggle with unnatural expectations brought about through conditioning, habit and sometimes, unacknowledged desire.

This is not a miraculous cure; it requires dedicated work, and is a life-long task. But the rewards are equally astounding and uplifting! The techniques are customized to suit each individual's temperament, constitution and more importantly, their needs. The purpose of these sessions is to synthesize and create cohesion between both a rational and metaphysical approach to life. Ambika will draw upon her experience and knowledge of different modalities, such as basic NLP, creative visualization, affirmations, subliminal re-programming, oracle readings, energy healing and specific exercises tailored to each individual's temperament.

 The program is tailored around the principle attributes of the sephiroths of the Tree of Life. These spheres represent the highest potential of a realized human being at each respective level. Each sephiroth can encompass a journey of discovery; unlock one and the others may fall into place without effort!     

Synthesis requires the reconciliation of opposite and sometimes, conflicting personality traits, ideas, beliefs. Otherwise, we will remain fragmented. A fragmented personality can never hope to achieve lasting peace, prosperity and pleasure.         

As Marion Woodman said,”Matter without spirit is a corpse; spirit without matter is a ghost.”

A preliminary consultation is mandatory. This session will establish if the client is prepared for this mode of coaching. As any form of coaching is intensive, it is necessary for both parties involved to ascertain if the arrangement is recommended. This consultation will also help to uncover the core areas of the client's life that the sessions will revolved around. With the information gathered at this session, Ambika will then be able to design an broad outline that will be proposed to the client before the actual coaching sessions begin. The actual sessions may vary in content depending on client's progress.

Reiki (‘ray-kee’) is a form of spiritual healing and practice believed by its advocates to be beneficial for treating physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. It is also a Japanese word meaning ‘universal life energy’.

It was developed by a male Japanese doctor, Mikao Usui, in the early 1900s. Usui undertook a meditation retreat to receive answers to his problems, including one on his vow to one day

Reiki therapy is a simple yet powerful method of natural healing: energy is channelled through the light touch of hands on the body, or through one’s energy field, which results in a systematic treatment that covers all organs and energy systems of the body.

In a Reiki session, the recipient would lie down and relax. The practitioner, who acts as a channel for the Reiki energy, would ‘direct’ the Reiki energy to wherever the patient is believed by them to require it. Usually they would move their hands close to or on various parts of the recipient's body.

Some patients report feeling various sensations like heat, tingling, coldness and pressure. People often speak of feeling sensations of melting warmth coming from the practitioner's hands, giving a strong sense of comfort. Pain may be relieved during treatment, leaving a deep and lasting sense of relaxation and peace.

The power of Reiki lies in its simplicity. Reiki energy flows through the hands to wherever it is needed in the body.

Some liken this healing method to the way that a plant takes up water. It is absorbed only where it is needed. The receiver draws the energy in a completely natural and nourishing way. Both the practitioner and the receiver of Reiki are revitalised after treatment.

Practitioners of Reiki attribute these to Reiki energy filling energetic deficiencies in the body and aura of the recipient, repairing and opening their energy channels (or meridians), pulling out the ‘negativity’ and dissolving the blockages of ‘stale’ energy.

Intention is the primary method for directing the flow of the energy. Some Reiki healers may even use this energy for healing from a distance.

This energy is far beyond what we can understand. Our bodies utilise this energy to heal on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Usui Reiki also opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain, accelerating the body’s ability to heal physical ailments.

Who is Reiki For?

Everything that has life can be helped by Reiki – including animals and plants. Treatment will also benefit people of any age and condition.

Reiki is empowering, and when faced with pain or crisis, it will assist you in overcoming feelings of helplessness and dependency.

Seichim (say-sheem) is an Egyptian word meaning ‘living light energy’. It also means the power of powers. It is believed to be an ancient and sacred form of hands on healing that originated from ancient Egypt – maybe even earlier

The Seichim energy is very powerful yet tender at the same time. It heals on a cellular level, harmonising and transforming the energy vibrations, as well as clearing blockages and toxins. Seichim releases us from our sufferings, creates prosperity and increases our spirituality. It also releases us from karmic accumulations from former rebirths.

ISIS SEICHIM
Isis Seichim is a form of Reiki that resonates with the energy and concept of the Goddess, Isis.

Developed by Ruth Mays in 1990, the symbols draw upon other, older forms of Reiki systems. While traditional Reiki healing can be considered to be more tranquil, Isis Seichim can be described as nurturing, reflecting the qualities of the goddess it is named for.

Isis Seichim works best for deep-rooted emotional or mental blockages, allowing for greater access to universal understanding. This healing modality works more with balancing psychic as well as emotional imbalances and stimulating one's ability to provide nurturing for one’s self as well as others. It filters healing through our auras, gently activating the chakras and flooding them with healing energy, opening up blocked energy areas around and on the body. Slowly, its wisdom and healing power are worked down through the outer spiritual levels and into the body. This is when a slow, gentle and loving healing takes place.

Green Tara Seichim is an unique form of energy healing structured on the line of Seichim Reiki, with the addition of special Green Tara symbols, and chants, mantras and prayers. 

Tara is a Tibetan Bodhisattva or enlightened being, motivated by pure compassion and seeking liberation for all living beings. Green Tara is one of the 21 forms or aspects of the Mother Goddess, representing active compassion. The worship of Green Tara is wide-spread and extremely popular as she is believed to provide peace, harmony and balance.

Green Tara Seichim was developed as a specialised form of energy empowerment to enhance and complement the traditional practice of Reiki. It was created by Stephen Comee, a ‘ngakpa’ or a lay ordained practitioner in the Nyingma Tradition. He combined traditional teachings on Tara that he had received from great Tibetan Masters with the existing Reiki practices to create a new system which could be used to improve one's spiritual practice or to increase existing healing abilities.

Devotees believe that the Green Tara protects from fear and danger, eliminates suffering while granting wishes, and creating happiness. Green Tara Seichim strengthens and deepens our capacity for universal compassion while allowing us to develop our powers of discrimination and perception.

HOW SEKHEM CAME ABOUT
Helen Belot from Australia developed her own school of Seichim, an energy system that was first introduced into the modern world by Patrick Ziegler. Helen calls her system Sekhem because it resonates more with the Egyptian lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet, the guardian and protector of this energy.

Seichim (say-keem) appeared in Egypt 5,000 years ago – maybe even longer – and it was rediscovered by Patrick in Egypt in the early ‘80s, when he was seeking spiritual guidance. Seichim means Living Light Energy and it is also an ancient Egyptian system of healing wisdom. Practitioners claim that it is the ‘the Parent Energy’ of all healing systems based around the laying on of hands.

Helen was energetically directed to develop Sekhem (say-kem), a system of healing which resonates with the energy of the Goddess, Sekhmet. Associated with destruction and chaos in the ancient Egyptian pantheon, Goddess Sekhmet is both venerated and feared for this power – she destroys that which no longer serves us, so that we can build on a new foundation.

Sekhem helps to release our hidden potential, synthesising our scattered energies and increasing our focus. Sekhem, the origin of Goddess Sekhmet’s name, means power or might. It bears similarity to the terms prana, ki or chi – the very energy that is in us. It is difficult to adequately describe the feeling of this beautiful energy; experience offers the best understanding of it. A Sekhem healing or attunement session can be a very unique experience!

Sekhem can bring about dynamic changes as provide clarity and insight. It empowers as it heals and its ability to impact memories on the etheric and cellular planes could be life-transforming. Sekhem also is a great complement to other forms of therapies and treatments.

Working at all levels of the physical, emotional, mental and subtle spiritual bodies simultaneously, Sekhem energy works through the nervous system, meridians and is believed to provide healing for past life issues. It helps us to resolve conflicts at the deepest core of our being and allows the “inner child” to reveal itself fearlessly.

Tibetan Lamas or monks have been found to generally live to a ripe old age while having the constitution of people half their age. This remarkable feat has been attributed to a series of simple asanas called the ‘5 Rites’ or the ‘5 Rites of Rejuvenation’ that were developed over the centuries in the monasteries of Tibet.

The 5 Rites activate and balance the seven chakras, which are believed to be linked to our endocrine glands, thus regulating the hormonal output which governs all of body’s organs and functions. The improved circulation produced by the 5 Rites aid the body in washing away toxins and impurities that are stored in fatty tissues, organs and joints.

These unusual and rhythmic exercise movements combine posture, breathing and motion to create a dynamic effect. They do not require either exceptional strength or flexibility, but they are very powerful.These exercises are simple and require only 15 to 20 minutes a day.

Some benefits of practising the Tibetan Yoga are better quality sleep, rejuvenated body and mind, increased energy level, improved blood circulation and better control over emotions as you work on your nervous system along the way.

In addition to the exercises, you will also be presented with methods of meditation for empowering and activating the three most important chakras of the body and used by the yogis to reduce stress, promote concentration as well as increase your personal power and powers of manifestation. These techniques are secular and suitable for both men and women, regardless of their personal religious beliefs

We also offer a free follow up session within 6 months of the course. Participants are encouraged to refrain from alcohol, caffeine and heavy meals at least two hours before your session. Please wear light or loose clothing for the exercises.

The heart of the Goddess is to encourage women to trust themselves and to honor their innate ways of knowing and nurturing. In this workshop,all women, regardless of their issues or religious beliefs, may explore the nature of their spiritual power and learn to draw on and express their wisdom more fully and effectively. The Goddess Workshop is designed for women interested in both spiritual and secular issues; those who seek to revitalize and deepen their chosen path with their sisters and those who wish to expand their horizons with new insights.

We need the opportunity to come together to reclaim, honor and celebrate what is truly sacred, so as to be able to honor not only our own divinity but the Divine in everyone, young and old, regardless of gender.

Goddess workshops use the archetypes of the ancient Goddesses as a source of inspiration and to understand our feminine psychology: Ever been labelled “butch”, “bimbo” or “man-eater”? Why not learn to capitalize on your strengths and transform your weaknesses? Divine archetypes such as the “Warrior Queen”, “The Maiden”, “The Healer” are all part of the feminine psyche. We will explore ways to connect and enhance our abilities by calling upon the Goddesses that embody these powerful qualities.

We invite you to a series of workshops inspired and related to the “The Goddess Oracle” by Amy Sophia Marashinsky and Hrana Janto which will enable you to embrace and synthesize your nature to reveal the real goddess within. We hope to create a world where our differences will be honored and celebrated, our richly diverse origins and cultures be lauded for the contributions to the spirituality we practice.

WORKSHOP TOPIC - GODDESSES OF EMPOWERMENT

We focus on Goddesses that embody empowerment in our next installment. Being empowered allows you to express yourself without fear, aggression or guilt. It enables you to make decisions that are fulfilling and meaningful, helping you turn even potential mistakes into profound experiences.

While everyone has either heard or owns a Tarot deck, runes are still a mystery (except perhaps for Lord of the Rings fans!). In fact the name, “runa” literally means “mystery”! Runes originated in Northern Europe probably around the 1st century C.E. They were used as alphabetic script as well as for magick and divination. These workshops will assist those who wish to utilise the immense power of the runes in their daily lives in ways both startling and rewarding. Runes can be used for meditation, divination and affirmations among others.

The Kabbalah, like other esoteric teachings spiritual systems from orthodox religions, is not a set of formal teachings. It is rather an interpretation of what is considered “hidden” or “secret” in extant texts. The ability to apply these layered meanings to one's everyday life allows a dimension of true spirituality to permeate the most mundane task on hand. For those who are ready to take the next step in their journey of exploration and personal growth, a basic understanding of Kabbalistic principles may open doors never thought in existence!

This introductory workshop will discuss the basics of the Kabbalah as well as offer simple exercises which allow the individual to apply the principles in a practical way.

Sanctum is hosting a platform where both young (at heart!) and old (in wisdom) can meet to share, interact and aid in the dissemination of knowledge and experiences towards a greater understanding of the mystery of life and the pursuit of happiness and contentment.

The pursuit of spirituality is not simply a way to ensure enternal bliss, but to provide us with the right tools to for a peaceful, fun and fulfilling life here and now. Pathworking is an essential tool in awakening spiritual consciousness and many traditional practices involve pathwork.

Join us for our monthly gathering if you are keen on acquring tools that can help you create your personal spiritual path.

NEXT TOPIC: Hearing The Messages From Within

This month in the Spirit Circle we will work with the waning moon and release negative self-limiting beliefs so that we can hear the messages from our inner spirit. 

Very often when we are faced with trying and challenging times in our lives, it is difficult to trust that everything will work out for the best. We react with fear, self doubt and tension rather than centre ourselves and try to find a peaceful place within to contact our spirit. We forget that our spirit has our best interests at heart, and it is our emotions that stop us from knowing this.

Our inner spirit always knows what the best direction for us to go in is, or what the best decision for us to make is. In this Spirit Circle we will release limiting beliefs and walk forward trusting that the Universe has a plan for us and if we can become still and have the courage to let go, this plan will unfold in the way that it’s meant to so that we can live a life of fulfillment and contentment.

REFLECTIONS

The cathedral of trees and the foundations of stone, are blessed by cooling winds and the chorus of seawaves.

Once again it is time for a change and after much soul searching, we have decided that our Spirit Circle needs to now evolve into the Sacred Circle. The first of our Sacred Circle events will be held outdoors in order to harness the powerful forces of nature and truly commune with the elements.

This chapter of Sacred Circle titled "Reflections", will bring us to Sisters' Island, one of the southern islands of Singapore. There, we will harness the healing and rejuvenative elemental forces in a triple circle group event. We will visit the traditional ways of how three different belief systems - Native American, Tibetan & Pagan - can align ourself to our true 'nature' and focus on cyclical topics of beginnings, happenings and endings.

There is nothing more appropriate when seeking to connect to the Divine, than to connect to the sacred spaces of Nature. A connection with Nature stays with you, and builds within you a sense of the spiritual nature of your life path. Over time, this connection enables you to develop a natural equilibrium and understanding of the deeper lessons of life. This greatly contributes towards you being able to live your best life. Living as we do in our urban lives, we forget that we are an integral part of nature, and that aligning to Nature allows us to find our centre and makes our lives easier and more balanced.

This workshop is an opportunity to bring you closer to Nature and cultivate a sense of the sacred essence of where we all came from. Working with basic tools like crystals, ribbons and ink, we will be inviting the four elements of air, water, earth and fire to help us to awaken our potential to work with them. So join us on this exciting adventure held in one of Singapore's little-known natural space and let your connection begin!

Workshop fee covers transportation by boat to and from the island, all materials (including a keepsake token) and a light snack. Please bring one piece of crystal as a gift to Gaia.
