About Me

Driving down the memory lane is fun. There are no traffic rules, and we are free to roam wherever and however we please. But introspection needs self-discipline. We are frequently interrupted by red lights that make us pause and think about the things we’ve said, thought, did or intended. The yellow lights test our readiness to accept our realizations before the green allows us to go forward. Until the next red light, that is. As slow and annoying as that ride might be, the introspective path leads us to newer worlds within us whereas the memory lane only helps us revisit timelines that we have already been to.

I used to be a memory lane traveller for many many years and cherished my collection of memorabilia. Some were nostalgic and some were traumatic and I carried them all, anyway, gaslighting myself of a glorified past that I realize existed only in my distorted imagination. Little did I realize that my life was playing out in loops. Different people and different circumstances but similar experiences. Karma. I devoted all my will power and perseverance to change, but the patterns persisted, leaving me baffled without a logical explanation. When push came to shove and I had no more to give, I surrendered. And that is when I received not only explanations but guidance as well.

Reiki was and is my guide that helped me understand life’s traffic lights and navigate the speedbumps to soul evolution. Over the growing up years, I went through the grind of the conventional education system, earned my engineering and business diplomas, worked in software organizations from corporates to start-ups and experimented with pet projects. Yet, there was a void deep within, and external manifestations remained elusive. Those accreditations were merely validations that the world seeks and gives to one another to keep ourselves bound to our ego’s stories. Seeking validation and approval from outside are by themselves soul shackles. The real liberation comes when we look within, notice our triggers and heal our traumas.

One cannot fly up when parts of us are still tied down. Consciousness is the whole and reiki handholds us, both in our ascension and shadow work and leads us to the consciousness within us, one energetic step at a time. While therapy certainly eases and helps release the conditioning of the mind, the scope of the mind itself is limited. Traumas and unconscious patterns stretch beyond our rational thoughts. Unless we accept our energy body and work to clear our blockages in our chakras and nadis, we would be repeating our stories for lifetimes, as we had before and as we will otherwise. Our aura and reiki lie beyond the bandwidth of visible light spectrum and therefore our visible eyes, but they are the energies of the Universe. We are energies of this Universe. Or Multiverse. Or simply, consciousness.

My spiritual journey started off in 2020, through a series of seemingly unrelated traumatic events. My quest for answers for four years took me everywhere, from books to YouTube videos to encounters with self-proclaimed gurus. But it was reiki that showed me that the path to healing is to go within and seek from our own inner wisdom. After receiving reiki and experiencing the profound transformation myself, I embarked on the journey to learn reiki. Nearly two years since my reiki journey began in 2024, I am not the person I used to be, and I am so glad that I am not. Where there once were fear, anger and unexplainable void, I have peace and self-love. Healing is a lifelong journey, of course, and I am very grateful to Reiki for taking me on board through milestones of healing, joy and fulfillment along the way.

I am deeply called to share my reiki journey with fellow seekers like me and help them heal themselves beyond time and space. Inner-Iris is here for anyone who is courageous to witness their true inner selves, accept all of it and heal into the whole they are. As any reiki practitioner, I am merely a channel. Reiki is the true healer and guide. May the Universal force be with you.
