For more than 20 years, Chavah Aima has practiced and taught a wide variety of spiritual disciplines for personal growth, self-improvement and the expansion of consciousness. A former psychotherapist specializing in the recovery from addictions and trauma, she is a leading authority on esoteric systems of holistic psychology including Hermetic Kabbalah, Rosicrucian Alchemy, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra. Chavah began working with the dietary principles of the Essenes 18 years ago, and is a worldwide advocate and teacher of the use of a raw vegan diet for healing and spiritual acceleration. She has helped hundreds of people recover from diseases and addictions, and live healthier, more spiritually aware lives. Chavah is the founder and executive director of Enlightened Life Sanctuary, an international non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, and dedicated to the creation of sustainable and enlightened life on earth. She is the author of numerous Internet and magazine articles, and a comprehensive correspondence course that unleashes the master within. For the past 14 years she has shared the teachings of the ageless wisdom through a private mystery school. In 2005, Chavah began work on a project to externalize this work, making the philosophies and practices of Eastern and Western occultism available to the general public for the first time through a series of published books. As a part of her revelation of the secrets of the mystery schools, Chavah created Alchemical Yoga®, a vital new spiritual discipline that merges many powerful methods for self-transformation drawn from the various spiritual traditions she has studied and mastered into healthy, holistic, lifestyle practices that can be used by everyone.- www.enlightenedlife.org
