She studied Psychology and numerous humanistic approaches to heal and to investigate into herself and others. The method of Somatic Experiencing that Dhyani Maria applies along with all her life experience deepens the understanding of how the nervous system works and how it can be regulated. This understanding of the working of the nervous system together with the understanding of the nature of self can open a freedom of choice in one’s life, rather than having to react in a conditioned way.
In 1987, she met her spiritual master Osho, a great Indian Mystic, and she spent the last years of Osho’s life in his presence. After Osho passed away in 1990, she took his heritage (with many others) and made his teaching available – through self-experiential and self-development workshops, talks, as well as individual sessions – to thousands of people in his Meditation and Therapy Center in Pune, India, and in different countries in Europe.
From 1997 to 2001 she was a Schoolsdirector of Osho Ko Hsuan School in England, an International Boarding School for children aged 7 – 16, inspired by the vision of Osho.
In England, Dhyani Maria met Zenmaster David Ferguson, with whom she realized ‘Kensho’ (the realisation that no separate nature of self exists) in April 1999. The effect of Kensho is lived in everyday life and her work where she provides advice and support to people who have suffered trauma and life-threatening experiences. She also guides people who simply want to understand more about how they function and who love to live their life fully.
Her deep insight into the nature of self and existence combined with her profound understanding and experience of working with people, can open a freedom to start understanding one’s own relationship with life and death.
Dhyani Maria loves to work with people with the method of Somatic Experiencing which enables a regulation of one’s own nervous system. This understanding of the working of the nervous system together with the understanding of the nature of self, can open a freedom of choice in one’s life, rather than having to react in a conditioned way.
