My whole life has been leading me to create the Atma Global Awakening movement. Born in Hong Kong, I witnessed how people worked tirelessly with little time to enjoy life. Despite their financial success, there was a lack of fulfillment. My parents embodied this work-centric mentality, resulting in poor work-life balance. Creativity and money flowed, but there was no time for enjoyment.
At 21, I fell seriously ill for five years, diagnosed with multiple incurable diseases. At my worst, I couldn't walk for more than 10 minutes without experiencing severe pain. I visited over 50 doctors and specialists around the world, each with a different opinion but no cure. Some doctors even told me to accept living with my condition. After feeling like a guinea pig, going from doctor to doctor without a cure, I realized I couldn't rely solely on others to heal me.
In the midst of my struggle, despite what everyone said, I had a vision of being healthy, active, and vital again. I didn't know how it would happen, but I saw it clearly within me. I remember making a promise to the universe, to God, or any higher power that was listening: if I healed, I would dedicate my life to helping others regain their health. And so it happened.
My healing journey began in 2016. I changed everything, one by one: nutrition, emotions, relationships—all guided by my internal compass. Within two years, not only did I regain my health, but I also discovered a vitality I had never felt before, an inner power, a reason for being, and a profound purpose in my life. I trained in the areas that helped me the most, specializing in Ayurvedic Medicine, Nutrition, Psychology, and Eastern Spirituality—Vedanta.
I healed through a series of transformations in all areas of my life, with determination and consistency. It wasn't just one thing but a combination of many factors that formed the foundation of Atma.
After a year of enjoying my healthy body, I noticed my mind still found reasons to suffer. I observed that many people were similarly plagued by their minds, constantly finding reasons to be unhappy.
I started delving deeper inward, seeking the root cause of human suffering and the purpose of existence. Once I started delving into the nature of my true self, I found a level of truth and well-being incomparable to anything I'd ever experienced. I wasn't ready to completely renounce the world and stay in an ashram full-time, but I knew I wanted my life to revolve around this inner journey. Atma Global gives me this opportunity—to investigate the self, to travel, to earn a living, to connect with others, all at once. It offers the same opportunity to others who yearn for truth, who want to serve the world from a place of truth and make their lives revolve around it. If this resonates, look no further—apply to join the Atma Team.
My spiritual journey led me to Sathya Sai Baba, my family guru, and his teachings. I shifted my focus from optimizing the body to guiding people inward to connect with the mystery of life, fostering unity and purposeful living.
I founded Atma in Tenerife in March 2023, initially as an Ayurvedic clinic, but it soon evolved into a space for inner transformation and community building. Realizing my vision required a larger, more dynamic platform, I decided to take Atma global. Atma transformed into a worldwide movement, traveling to different countries to teach and apply transformation for individuals, businesses, and communities while continuing our own self-transformation.
The Atma Global Awakening and Unity Movement was born. It aims to shift how we live, relate, and do business. We envision a world where we work together, supported by a community, creating a trustworthy and safe environment. A world where every individual's uniqueness is celebrated, and we confront life's mystery together. This movement is not a sect or religion; we teach human values, unity, love, and truth.
Atma, meaning "soul" in Sanskrit, represents the essence of this movement. It's a call to those who seek deeper meaning, unity, and a profound transformation in their lives and the world. Join us in this journey to create a better world, starting with self-transformation for global transformation.
