When I was two years old, I told my mother that I wanted to go home, \u201chome\u201d meaning back to the Divine.\xa0 I have always been very intuitive and able to \u201csee through\u201d people, sensing their deepest desires, dreams, and fears.\xa0 However, I resisted my mother\u2019s attempts to get me into her spiritual practices, and in my teens I rebelled against what I considered to be her \u201cairy-fairy bullshit.\u201d At 15 my mother sent me to learn yoga to calm me down, and at my first Holotropic Breathwork session at 19, I learned to meditate.\xa0 After seeing the obvious benefits, I decided to start my own practice.\xa0 When I was 22, I cracked open a yoga book called The Five Tibetans, which my mother had given to me at 17 but had sat on my bookshelf, untouched, for years.\xa0 Thus began my lifelong practice of the Five Tibetans, which I believe to be a source of youthfulness.\n Also at that time I began to practice yoga and open eye meditation with a group of Buddhist monks at the Kanzeonji Non-Sectarian Buddhist Temple in Mt. Washington, California.\xa0 I once meditated for 7.5 hours with my monk friends.\xa0 I was invited to become a member of their temple, which is a huge honor only bestowed upon those who practice with intense regularity and sincere integrity.\xa0 If you hear me talk about my Osho, I am referring to the Master of the Kanzeonji Temple.\xa0 He still tries to get me to learn how to stand on my head, which one day, I will.\n In 2000 I traveled to Tibet and began my studies to become a Spiritual Counselor under the great OC Smith, founder of The City of Angels Church of Religious Science. In 2002 I obtained my Professional Practitioner license.\nhttp://chinabrooks.com/blog
