The Sacred Vitality Club: Transformative Journey from Self to Self with the Support of Like-Minded 'Finders'

I joined the Sacred Vitality Club in June 2023 after Igor’s immersion in Mallorca. There was fear and insecurity in me, and I needed guidance on my life path.

I did the cleanse with Amrita three years before I stepped into the Sacred Vitality Club. I felt positive changes in the cleanse and discovered I needed to eat more in synchronicity with my constitution. To learn more about that, I did the ‘nourish your nature’ course. I brought some changes in my food and life habits and learned to make Amrita’s delightful recipes, but my digestion was still not good and over time the digestive problems became even more pronounced. I felt a burning sensation/acidity after meals, gasses, heaviness in the body, a painful right knee, sometimes difficulty breathing, a painful throat while lying down and very poor sleep quality. Although I had some consults with Amrita and allopathic health professionals, the problems did not really disappear.

My frustration was growing, and I asked Igor’s advice. I wondered which information was unprocessed. Igor pointed out that there was a psychosomatic factor at play: my fire was low, and my will to live also. It was shocking to hear because I was unaware of that, and I remember how important a strong ahamkara is for the work. The importance of the fire and desire as the fuel for the process. Igor also noticed my heart was not open. Although Amrita had pointed out that in our consultations, I could not feel that (yet), and it was difficult to take it in. For sure, the communication with my body was superficial. I also had difficulties integrating the effects of meditation ( calmness, bliss) into daily life.

To improve my communication with my body, I stepped into the Sacred Vitality Club. In the beginning, I was critical, and that took me a while. The course began with the ‘nourish your nature’ course, which I had already done. Many things I already applied to some degree. There were beautiful new recipes on the website for each constitution, but I had to eliminate so many food items, that it all boiled down to very basic similar dishes. Sometimes even water was heavy on my stomach.

During the sessions, the space is held by Amrita with neutrality and compassion. I got more insights in projections. And the challenge of feeling through all the layers where confrontation can touch.

During our meditations, I observed how anger tried to infiltrate my body as a toxic ink, like a shadow that wanted to come over me, a daemon claiming my power. In its karmic expression, it could literally overshadow my right knee, and it felt like it was “eating my bones”. I learned a technique of ‘rasa fasting’, which means learning to say stop to moods which ‘overcame’ me all too often. It feels like throwing away a coat (like a painful body coloured with all unprocessed painful memories from the past) which is no longer serving. I was fighting myself, and it became a habit of which I wasn’t aware. Old pain was getting bitter and a victim pattern was formed, which was playing out as angriness toward other and of course, towards self.

At some point I started to notice that when I put an intention to work on an issue, that consciousness around that issue grew. For example one session I said I wanted “to include myself more” and when I went to the bank the following day, I noticed in which area’s I could have asked more precise help, even though I had asked it already three times before, but the issue wasn’t resolved. I held back in articulating precisely what I wanted, doubting it could be too much. And the fear of getting a ‘no’. So I saw a clear picture of what was happening, and I learned to empower myself and change that habit.

I got more in contact with intuition, for example, the desire to reach out, a little cry out of the inner child. I felt where the desire became coloured ( crying baby) with old pain, fear and blocking thoughts. I learned to discern the innocent child and the crying baby and to allow the desire in its pure state. Taking steps in vulnerability and authenticity of opening up, and accepting the consequence just as it is, without story. I also got more in contact with boundaries from within, and I learned to communicate something rather than reacting with anger or frustration.

Now, while it’s opening up, I realise how strong my heart was closed, dense and contracted, as if it was constricted by ropes. I got insights in some karmic puzzle pieces and learned that self-forgiveness is the key to coming back to the purity of self. I feel karmic information is still digesting and where it is expressing itself in the body. I am more aware of how guilt can slip in even on a very subtle level, and how punishment and perpetrator position were deeply connected in my being. What a way to surrender... and allow the miracle of love to take pain away.

I understand better what it means to integrate the results of meditation ( peace, equality, self-acceptance) into life and to use Ayurveda ( together with other holistic disciplines: acupuncture and kinesiology) as an art of living. I am convinced holistic healing is a necessity to learn what the being communicates and to attune oneself.

The Sacred Vitality Club makes me grow, and I feel more and more excited. I feel more part of rather than apart. I feel supported by a group of like-minded ‘finders’ on the journey from the self to the self.

Thank you, Amrita, for the guidance, meditations, consults, ayurvedic knowledge, recipes, and workshops. Thanks for holding the space with loving compassion.
