Testimonials

"I feel honored and respected as a whole and complete individual in my mentoring with Eka.  I feel constantly reminded of my authentic being while in session or in his presence, and feel permission to become that self immediately, however far I may have strayed from her in a previous moment.  I feel accepted and empathized for wherever I am.'

"Eka Joti connects to spirit first and foremost in all of his communications.  Rare is it to meet a man so devoted to staying on the path of discovering spirit's will.  He has been and will continue to be a great beacon of wisdom, support, and friendship along my life's journey."

Alex Snydman~ Professional Jazz Drummer and Instructor

"Eka is truly a remarkable human being with incredible insight, awareness, and depth.  He is conscious of each word he speaks and offers himself fully to each person he encounters.  Eka exudes knowledge beyond the mind's capabilities and will bring new awakenings to those he works with on various levels.  Eka is not only a dear friend of mine, but he has been a guide, an inspiration, and a true instigator of learning and growth for me over the past six years.  I have no question that he offers great things to others and to this world."

"Eka works extremely hard to address the needs of the children and teens he works with.  He shows patience, kindness, tolerance, and forbearance in his mentoring work, even in situations I would consider daunting.  Eka cares deeply and thoughtfully about children and young adults.  he is willing and able to work with them in a acaring, non-confrontational way that nevertheless addresses the issues at hand directly.

Eka is a good listener when it comes to dialoguing with children, teens, and parents, and he works very hard to acknowledge and address the needs of all parties around a given issue.  He is willing to put himself into the breach of a difficult situation in a humble, respectful, and committed way, and see it through."

"Eka's presence in my son Arun's life over the last several years has made a definite impact and discernable difference.  I am grateful to Eka for how he has positively influenced Arun; we couldn't have chosen a better mentor and role model for him.  With his present, insightful, and compassionate nature, Eka is an embodiment of mindfulness practice and conscious living.

His mentoring of Arun has been gentle, loving and poignant, allowing Arun to be the playful, high-energy, caring child that he is, engaging him there and at the same time patiently introducing and awakening his inner life.  Arun has become interested in meditation, Tai Chi, healing with Chi, and Aikido.  Arun is still very much a child, a high-spirited, fun-loving boy, but he has also become a giving, generous, and thoughtful being who is more often than not ready to pitch in and help.  Many times without being asked, Arun looks for ways to brighten someone's day, even if it's offering someone a cup of tea.

I wholeheartedly recommend Eka to those of all ages looking for a warm and caring, calm and clear, intuitive guide and mentor."

"From my very first meeting with Eka, I felt in kind, caring, and present company.  Working and playing with intention and from the heart, Eka brings a grounding and tranquil presence whenever I see him.  The content of our time together often involves sharing our visions as well as sacred song.  I believe Eka's path to be that of a shepherd, a guide, a leader of people who find themselves on a journey of self-discovery and personal truth."

"Eka’s true skill and insight come not only from conventional education, but, more importantly, from extensive self-education, travels and experiences in foreign lands, life experience and consistently seeking the answers to life’s most essential questions.
 
Eka will be the first to admit the answers are elusive, but with the proper intention and guidance, the seeker can begin to understand the nature and purpose of self development- the first steps to true self-healing and self-realization. As a personal mentor, Eka is exceptionally qualified to help you chart your own unique course, and realize your integral path of health, fulfillment, and freedom."
