SANTA BARBARA CENTER FOR AWAKENING

“Awaken to your Authentic Destiny”

We offer spiritual and psychological services to promote awakening in all areas of your life. An awakened person is the only true “human being”. Awakening means being in perfect alignment with the Intelligence that underlies all of creation. When we are not in alignment, we experience resistance and conflict in our lives. Our problems are a direct result of being in opposition to the natural flow of life. All areas of our lives must be in harmony—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. If one or more of these aspects are not in alignment, we are not fully awake. We are not fully expressing our awakened potential.

Psychotherapy in Santa Barbara, IRENE KOKATAY, MA, MFTIRENE KOKATAY, MA, MFT

I have had a deep and lifelong interest in psychology and spiritual awakening. I began studying yoga at age 13. On my 21st birthday I experienced a spiritual “opening” during which I spontaneously developed clairvoyance and I began having deep spiritual experiences. My life was filled with synchronicities and I felt tremendous bliss.

After a period of time, I felt it necessary to develop other aspects of my life. I went back to college, got married, raised a family, and developed my career. Throughout the years I have been on a continual path of self exploration and healing, and my spiritual life has continued to deepen over the years.

I realize now that being awake spiritually is only one aspect of awakening. I have now come full circle, integrating the spiritual awakening of many years ago with the practical realities of living in the world.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist trained in traditional psychotherapeutic techniques as well as Mind/Body healing practices, Hypnotherapy, and Yoga Therapy. I have also been trained in various forms of meditation and energy healing in India.

ESSENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

“Live In Your Joyful Essence”

Our Essential Nature is pure joy. Our Essence (Spirit, Soul, Center) is that aspect of our lives that is expansive, creative, blissful and problem-free. It is, in fact, the only aspect of ourselves that is truly real. When you live from your Essence, your life becomes more harmonious. You will begin to experience the wonder of synchronicities that will bring you the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

Essential Psychotherapy is dedicated to helping people experience that Essence and express it in the world. Through individually tailored sessions, you will be gently and compassionately guided to experience your unique Truth and to express that Truth in all areas of your life including Spiritual, Financial, Health, Relationships, and Career/Life Work. Essential Psychotherapy provides support for growth, transformation, and the unfolding of your life. This process does not always need to be work. It can be exciting and energizing as you grow into your authentic nature and experience the life you have dreamed of.

MANIFESTATION COACHING
Individual and Group Sessions

When you get in touch with your Being, your Essence, your Truth, then your activity becomes more powerful. Who are you? What are your dreams? What is natural for you? What will bring you true happiness? After all, isn’t the goal of all manifestations to be happy?

Manifestation Coaching is a two step process:

Step One: Identifying and clarifying your goals and desires
Step Two: Energizing these desires to bring them into reality in your life

We provide the organizational structure for you to identify and establish your goals. Having established the goals we also provide the knowledge that puts you in touch with the natural laws that govern the success in achieving the goals. We provide you with the ability to connect with the synchronicity already available within nature. This connection helps you achieve your goals more easily and effortlessly. It is one thing to have the thought of the goal and another thing to put energy behind that thought. It is the power and energy behind the thought that manifests the goal. We will teach you techniques that will put you in touch with an unlimited reservoir of creative energy and intelligence. This will energize your desires and turn your dreams into reality in a very easy and natural way.

Thoughts come from an infinite, unbounded source. By the time a thought becomes conscious in our mind it has traveled a long distance from the source and has become weakened and unclear. If we could experience thoughts closer to the source each of our thoughts would become far more powerful and have far more potential to manifest our desires in the physical world.

We will teach you techniques for:

1) Quieting the mind in order to connect to Source

2) Energizing and empowering your thoughts. At the Source of thoughts is a potential pool of energy to energize desires so that they manifest.

3) Connecting with Nature to align your desires with what Nature already wants to manifest (for your desire to manifest, Nature must desire it.)



Yogic Meditation Teacher and Manifestation Coach in Santa Barbara, Stuart MooneyMy name is Stuart Mooney and, for more than 35 years, I have taught yogic meditation throughout the world. I have lectured on the subject of “Meditation and the Nature of Higher Consciousness” at more than 100 major Colleges and Universities. I am a classically trained behavioral scientist. I hold a Masters in Psychology. In the early 70’s, I was involved in groundbreaking research on the Psychophysiology of Meditation. I was one of the first clinicians to employ meditation in a Psychiatric setting. For more than three decades, I have been in an intimate relationship with a number of Gurus, Avatars, and other evolved souls. Over the years, they have authorized me to teach more than 100 esoteric (privately held) meditation techniques. While I was living in India, an ability to heal and to transmit Shakti spontaneously manifested. I healed and blessed thousands in the temples. I have been authorized to transmit Knowledge under the authority of the Shankaracharya of South India. I have also been trained to transmit Oneness Deeksha under the direction of the reknowned Avatars, Amma and Bhagwan. I was a lecturer in Psychology at the University of Madras as well as at the Police Training College in Chennai. I also saw patients at the Banyan Hospital in Chennai. I have studied, extensively, with the Brahmin Priests of South India and have assisted in the performance of over 700 Vedic Rituals.

In 2004, I underwent a spontaneous shift in consciousness, which has afforded me deep insight into the experiential nature of the Awakened consciousness. I claim nothing for myself. I do not believe in labels. I am not enlightened, awakened or a guru. I am not in Satori, Nirvana, or Samadhi. I am. I exist. That’s it. That is my only true biography. That is all you really need to know about me. I am just a pragmatic, rational individual who has undergone a dramatically transformational experience. I am not interested in philosophizing. I am here to transmit Healing Grace. I am here to teach Awakened consciousness. I do not, in any way, endorse withdrawal from life. Life is to be lived and earth requires active participation.

Now, you may wonder what has happened to me that this is now my experience. Here is the best way that I can explain it. There is a Presence or Grace which permeates God’s world. This Presence is Gods intelligent energy for change. Humans are guided by this Presence in an unconscious manner. It is always there invisibly guiding our actions. This Presence energy flows in one direction only. It flows from God to man. So, man cannot directly access this Presence energy. This is why spiritual “techniques” ultimately are ineffective. Man can try and try from his side connect with God but it is completely up to the Divine whether the Presence or Grace descends into man.

Grace has descended into me. The Presence energy is within me and I have surrendered to it. It is not a matter of choice for me. The Grace will do as it wishes.


WHAT I DO

Oneness Deeksha

Oneness Deeksha means blessing or benediction. It is the transfer of Divine Energy which, over time is designed to bring about the state of Oneness in the recipient. Oneness Deeksha initiates a neurobiological change in the brain that when complete enables the senses to be free from the interference of the mind. When the senses are unclouded by the mind’s interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection to the Oneness in everything. Please see the Oneness University website at Onenessuniversity.org

Healing Grace Transmission

Health is the harmonious interaction of body, mind, and spirit. But it is the light of Grace which creates health in the body/mind. Health, therefore, is the light of Grace and disease is the absence of Grace. Healing focuses Grace in the body. Healing is a matter of applying a Divine Connection. Two things are necessary for healing. First, the Divine must initiate this connection and second, it must completely control it. Healing is a matter of being, not doing. Doing created the problem. The being is the healing. I employ many vehicles to transmit healing Grace. For instance, I can use touch, sight, or intent. I can use literally any type of mental impulse to carry healing Grace. The power of Grace is only limited by our imagination. I have transmitted Healing Grace to thousands around the world. Please allow me to transmit the Grace necessary to heal you. Please understand that if you are reading this, then Grace has attracted you and is prepared to heal you right now.

Personal Instruction and Guidance

I offer personally designed programs in the areas of relationship, manifestation, healing and spiritual awakening at my office in Santa Barbara, Ca. I consult with clients on an individual basis. I also do group work in the Southern California area. I charge an hourly fee for these services. I also offer an intensive for dedicated individuals who are interested in a long term program of spiritual self-discovery. Please contact me personally for details.

Phone Consultation and Long Tern Phone or Internet Based Programs

I offer spiritual guidance and Grace Transmission Healing over the phone or the internet. I have done this for years with wonderful results. You can refer to The “Healing Miracles I” section of the website located under the “What I Do” heading located on the home page for stories documenting these results. The primary point I wish to make here is that I do not have to be physically present to help you. The Divine is Omnipresent. The Grace is already within you. It just needs to be stimulated. I offer a long-term program of spiritual self-discovery for clients around the world. Please contact me personally for details.

Workshops and Weekend Retreats

I offer workshops. I offer weekend retreats. Why? It’s simple. The longer you can remain in the Grace, the more God can help you. The lectures, as well as the question and answer sessions, are always intimate, wide open and nourishing to the Soul. The discussions act synergistically with the Grace to produce an experience that just will transcend itself. By the time you leave, your life course will be shifted. You will now be aligned with the natural flow of life and Grace will come to more easily support your desires.

Grace for Your Space Program

The level of spiritual energy in the space where you live and work is very important. This energy, to a large extent, determines the nature of the thoughts and feeling that you will experience throughout the day. I offer a program of Grace Enhancement for your home or business. I will custom tailor the program to fit your specific requirements. Please contact me personally for details.

India Programs and Tours

Sometimes, it is good to get away. I offer personally guided India tours. They will be like nothing else you have ever experienced. I will take you where the real knowledge is. You will be exposed to those highly developed souls who can truly help you to know what you need to know. The next India Tour is in the planning stages. It is currently set for the late fall of 2007. Look for further details on our website.
