“By listening-the technology of Yoga and the secrets of the body are known”

– Guru Nanak

Meditative Healing™ stems from the ancient tradition of inner exploration and discovery initiated in the Indian subcontinent. The first expressions of it can be traced back to the Ayurvedic medicine and oral tradition reaching back as far as 3000 BC. From this cultural well we have received key notions and practices to enhanced awareness, holistic health and healing wisdom. Ayurveda specifically contributes to Meditative Healing™ in recognising that the physical and psychological diseases are usually mixed and it seldom happens that one comes up without the other.

The Yogic Tradition 

Further inner research conducted by Indian rishis (sages) and yogis took place with Patañjali (India, 2nd Century AD) who scrutinised the stages how this consciousness is reached through a systematised method we know as Yoga. In the system of Patañjali we find a path to engage and achieve a pristine meditative experience, of which the latter also leads us all the way to the wellness of the being.

“We may cultivate the power of concentration and remove the obstacles to enlightenment which cause all sufferings, this can be overcome through meditation”  
– Patañjali

The Devotional Mystics

 “O my Lord, the Lord’s humble servants become healthy.”
-Guru Ram Das

A powerful emerging tradition was born in the well-known period referred as the “Bhakti Movement” (India, 15th Century). The Bhakti Movement exalted the dimension of devotion in the quest for a holistic life. This movement was not caste-base and it gave ordinary people the chance to access the gifts of spiritual development and healing. The teachings of the Sikh Gurus highlighted the message of oneness, compassion and service that reshaped Meditative Healing™ and it developed into a highly empowered system by the force of devotion, prayer and divine Grace.

The Modern Times

“Many diseases are cured by healing thought. Your mind is very powerful – if you gain control of your mind, you also have control of your whole body and of any disease”
– Baba Virsa Singh

A known healer and saint of this linage, Baba Virsa Singh, sent one of his student, Yogi Bhajan, to North America in 1968. Yogi Bhajan reach and taught ordinary people the meditative ways to experience the healing process of mind and awareness. Yogi Bhajan develop the system in a unique way and one of his students, Gurudev Singh along with Ambrosio Espinoza crafted the practical understanding of this meditative process in the book “Sat Nam Rasayan” and in the school of the same name. Since 2005 Jivan Mukta began the study with them and in 2012 he developed his own approach in the Meditative Healing Program™ .

Jivan Mukta decanted the key experience and the principle of this legacy and he began to practice and teach Meditative Healing™ through the three states of awareness of the meditative healing process:

  • The State of Self-Sensory Awareness (Sunié)

  • The State of Zero (Shunia)

  • The State of Grace (Kirpa).

Jivan Mukta’s contribution was to bring together all meditative, psychological, devotional and emotional process into a healing experience through a methodic program that anyone could take and learn. Meditative Healing™ has already healed and empowered the life of countless people. Meditative Healing™, as understood by Jivan Mukta, is a tool for modern people who are seeking a holistic support for their health.


“The tradition and the legacy left to us is a support that provides the security that Meditative Healing™ does not depend on a person or personality, an institution or a religion, but rests on a vaster ocean of awareness and healing energy ready to be accessed by those who know-how.”
-Jivan Mukta
