My Story

How life situations led me to therapy

I was not going to devote myself to therapy, mentorship or anything like this. But some of my life events managed me to find a solution.

My name is Karma Pema. Socionics and Myers-Briggs tests break down on me and give different results at different times. Once I got an INTJ-t type test result. For those who believe in astrology: 27 April 1987 at 19:49 (GMT +7) Tekeli, Kazakhstan.

My profile is in mentorship, negotiations, and inventions. I do non-invasive neuro-programming, trance, Reiki and practical heuristic algorithms for improving the well-being of systems in crisis life situations. I've been practicing Simon Rose's RPT method. I don't use hypnosis for safety reasons if the client or I have no detailed future picture. But I can and, sometimes, do.

What you do must improve life. It must increase life satisfaction. Otherwise, what is it, an exercise?

Life situations I managed to cope with

Zombies in Dreams

I had a sort of Resident Evil film in my dreams. There were zombies of any sort trying to reach me out, and they were winning all the time. Different scenarios, different landscapes, but the same result: I become a zombie or dead.

At that time, I didn't know what to do with them. So it was like, "ok, that's just a dream," and I let it off for some period of my life. But I used to wake up during the night to stop that nightmare. I was scared to fall asleep again because I constantly failed in the battle with the zombies. I was afraid to sleep. That became a problem because I needed to sleep to work properly.

So I managed to find therapists, a shaman, and to learn Dream Yoga for daylight.

Ghosts in Dreams

Another tricky situation was that I had dreams of ghosts sometimes. With some of them I worked with a Transpersonal therapist. Some others were negotiated by the shaman with the Mahakala mantra. Later, I tried to work it out with Reiki by myself, and it worked for me.

That was helpless, full of fear and despair. Now I happily don't see it anymore and have several tools in my belt.

Family

Many "esoteric"-alike people like stories about ancestors' transmissions. I don't think I'm an esoteric person since my application of everything I talk about here is practical. My goal is to share candid impressions on whatever helps people.

I was born in Kazakhstan, my father is German, and my mother is Russian.

Grandma

My grandmother gave me something in the dream state a day or two after her death. I was scared, but the grasping reflex worked, and I accepted it.

Mother

My mom read Agni Yoga by Roerich before my brother and I were born. After giving birth, she was not up to self-development for 20 years. Now I don't follow her spiritual practices fully — it's some Kriya Yoga, Korean oil ceramic massage techniques, gymnastics and meditation. Several times she was able to help me with my mental health, and I find her more advanced than some psychologists. I find her beautiful and healthy at her 65.

Brother

My brother is a disabled person diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. What if that's Asperger's syndrome mistakenly interpreted by doctors with a Soviet Union mentality as schizophrenia? All in all, neuroleptics have done their part already. He is one year older than me.

Someday mom and I tried to help him in his dreams. We did it simultaneously and independently, and my mom didn't know I was attempting to help him. It was dangerous, and I didn't prepare myself well. After that, a shaman saved me with mantras and his Mahakala transmission.

And I thought about how not to get into such situations. Before, my life rule was to be a badass. Well, I'm still a badass, but at least more prepared, self-cared and egoistic.

Beloved Ones

I was in love with the leader of one of the Roerich communities, the shaman, and with one of my other life's partners.

These experiences shaped who I am as a therapist. They taught me that healing is possible — because I've walked that path myself.
