The best way I can describe myself is that I am You and You are me. There is no difference. What you see is a reflection of yourself, good or bad that may be! The same applies to me!
For me, the past does not say anything about who I am in this moment. However I am aware that some people like to know about my background and so I provide a brief summary here for you.
I was raised in New Zealand and moved to England in my mid twenties. I studied management at University, before embarking on a career in Human Resources and later IT but my real calling has always been in the search for Self.
At a young age, I regularly contemplated who "Kristina" was and who this "I" was behind the name. I struggled with depression for many years as I sought to relate to the world. Looking back now, I would say I had a ferocious appetite for Truth and a deep desire to find the answers to my endless questions about life. Although outwardly my life looked "successful" (I had a boyfriend, a beautiful home, plenty of money to buy what I wanted and the ability to travel where I desired) inwardly I felt disconnected and deeply unfulfilled.
I found my first teacher in Brandon Bays of The Journey and her work became a turning point in my life, literally turning it upside down. I also started following and implementing the Teachings of Abraham which I continue to use today.
In 2009, I travelled to India, where the search outside myself stopped. Ironically, I discovered the work of Ramana Maharshi and his devotee, Papaji, whose main teachings are to inquire "Who am I?". I realised I had been asking myself this question all my life. On my return from India, I met Mooji, a devotee of Papaji, who became, and still is, my "living Papaji".
These days, I have discovered the beauty, the joy and contentment in living a simple, ordinary life. I have time to appreciate nature, to enjoy being with good friends and the people I love, to watch more sunrises and sunsets. Time to be with this beautiful life; to laugh hysterically in one moment and cry deeply the next, to feel, to smile, to love.
I continue to ride the wave of life, an ongoing adventure into the unknown.
