Deep inside our Hearts there is a meeting place where the Heavens and Earth unite as one; an infinite space where the mysteries of life are revealed and where we discover an irrevocable sense of peace. I call this tender, beautiful, limitless dimension of ourselves — the Mystic Heart.
Thousands of years of religious tradition, countless self-development practices, and all of the awakened spiritual teachers the world over are all pointing us back to this Mystic Heart, back into our original consciousness — back to Presence.
My work is to establish you on a direct and focused path of Presence, and to empower your inner-guru so you may come to rely on your own instincts as you journey home into your Mystic Heart.
Pathways of Presence
Over the years I have been initiated into some of the most beautiful, rare, and potent tantric yoga practices in the world.
My dharma is to transmit these practices in a format that is intuitive, simple, and accessible, while remaining true to the essential mystic potency they carry.
Below are some of the practices and themes we’ll weave together in mentorship, always against the background of honest human conversations that ensure your spiritual journey remain grounded and embodied.
Kriya Yoga
The Holy Science of Kriya Yoga is an ancient system of pranayama and meditation known as the Lightning Path, established in the West by Paramahansa Yogananda. Visit Kriya Yoga Mandala to learn more.

Mantra
The vibrational language of the Divine through which we retune ourselves to pure consciousness. I focus on Sanskrit mantra, and specifically on the seed syllables of the Great Goddess.

Mystic Heart Breaths
9 breaths that empower the heart to be the center of our consciousness, and work directly to open the Mystic Heart, the infinite field of enlightenment within.

Tantric Sexuality
The practice of tuning our senses to the mystic heart and engaging our sexuality as a powerful force of meditation and yogic expansion.

Non-Dual Awareness
Moving past conceptual, mentalized non-dual yoga and into the Heart Essence, the space of true non-dual awakening.
Since 2004 I have dedicated my life to spiritual practice and experiencing the many ways in which traditions around the world approach the ultimate human pursuit of spiritual illumination. My journey of self discovery has taken me all over the world and to many dimensions of reality, from the mystical heights of ecstasy to the depths of human suffering.
Having traveled beyond this plane through both intensive meditation practice and a powerful Near-Death-Experience, I became deeply intimate with the transcendental realms.
The 17 years after my NDE represented an integration phase where I dedicated myself to grounding these higher realities and becoming intimate with the art of Embodiment— honoring the wisdom of the body, emotions, and the human experience itself.
These experiences have made me into a guide between the many dimensions of reality, from the mountain of Spirit down into the everyday, and into the heart-space that bridges it all.
Unraveling the Mystic Heart
Personal Mentorship
Through a combination of authentic practices, attunements, open-hearted conversations, and guided meditations, we will establish you on a unique evolutionary path that suits your unique soul energy.
One of my central focuses is the integration of both spirit and body into a greater whole. The most transcendent spiritual states are not relevant if they do not integrate with our everyday lives, and our ordinary lives are limited and devoid of spirit without the experience of the Mystic.
For this reason, my mentorships focus on esoteric yoga practices just as much as they do on daily habits, health and wellness, matters of the heart, and integrating the raw emotions and traumas of the human experience with the consciousness of the soul.
My Orientation
I offer my Unraveling the Mystic Heart mentorship for 2 to 3 students at a time.
I choose to work with those who sincerely desire to know themselves and experience God within; who are willing to surrender everything into the divine romance, and who are here to make the world a better place.
My Story
One of my earliest and clearest memories is of staring off into the emptiness as a young child, discovering the immense light that would appear when my mind was receptive and still. Meditation started early and naturally for me, but I would soon be thrown full-force into the madness and undeniable suffering that exists in this world.
As a sensitive soul, my childhood was full of joy as much as it was emotional intensity. Struggling to integrate my parent’s destructive divorce at the age of 10, and naturally sensitive to the suffering of the world, I dove head-first into my troubled teenage years. This time was bittersweet — painted by simple joys, tender agonies, and adventurous explorations, with some glimpses into the depths of my soul sprinkled throughout. In high school I went from the torment of deep depression, wearing all black, self-harming, and listening to heavy metal music, to studying mysticism and practicing meditation.
At the age of 19 I took initiation into Kriya Yoga, an esoteric yoga lineage, and my spirit was forever ignited. I practiced intensely for a couple of years, experimenting with fasting and solitude before returning to my teacher to receive higher initiations.
The next stage in my unfoldment would initiate me into the subtle realms between life and death. During a powerful and sharp crescendo of my spiritual journey in which I was spending several hours absorbed in spiritual trance daily, I was involved in an SUV rollover in Africa. Witnessing two of my brothers pass on from this world to the next, I left my body for 2 weeks while in a coma.
While out-of-body I traveled in other dimensions for what felt like eons, meditated with yogis in the transcendent realms, received profound spiritual initiations, visited the darkest of hells, and at one point left existence behind to go beyond into the pure bliss of the Infinite.
From this incomprehensible realm of peace, I was shocked back into my body by a team of doctors, and it was in that moment I realized that I was here to serve humanity by creating a bridge between worlds — not to escape back into the Absolute. For years I had been meditating on leaving this world behind — transcending it. Now I began to focus my devotion towards humanity.
A few months post-recovery, I set off on a 6-month solo journey through India, which fulfilled my deepest yogic yearnings. I met many mystics, sages, and saints who initiated me into rare practices and mystic states, prophesied my path, and blessed my mission to serve humanity.
My journey since then has been one of integration and refinement. While continuing to deepen my practice, I have focused on deep trauma healing, and learning to embody the indescribable transcendent truths gleaned from my out-of-body experiences in my daily life.
In 2017 I met my wife and began to focus heavily on the alchemy of relationship and the process of dual spiritual cultivation. Our union represented a whole new level of soul-growth and I came to understand why it is said that some levels of awareness require a true soulmate to uncover.
For the first 9 years of our relationship we embarked upon a profound journey of surrender, living on grace alone, and traveling to various locations to receive yogic activations, soul songs, and the esoteric pathways we share in our Yogini Kula.
After a 21 year period of deep inner-cultivation, I am so happy to be offering you the distilled essence of my journey and the soul-nourishing practices I have been blessed to carry.
The Mystic Heart is the abode of Truth; an ever-expanding field of awareness wide enough to encompass both the greatest suffering and the most blissful ecstasies.
The Mystic Heart is the place of Nirvana, Satori, Liberation, Self-Realization, and it is also the place where these transcendent states merge with the tender human experience and flow out into our lives to touch all we encounter.
May we all come to know the beauty, peace, and bliss of the Mystic Heart.
With Love,
Marco André
