What people are saying ...
We get emails, phone calls and letters from people who have participated in workshops, classes or sessions with us. Their sharings are eloquent, heart warming and often quite personal. Hearing how people's lives have been touched or about new possibilities and experiences that are opening up for them just reminds us of why we love this work so much. We posted below a small selection of quotations to give a taste of what people have discovered for themselves... :-)
Sharing about individual sessions with Deepika
"Last summer, I stopped pretending that this moment in both my personal and in the global history was "business as usual". I booked several sessions with Deepika in order to clean up a few old issues, but increasingly I felt myself saying yes to an invitation to do more.
I'm not sure how to describe her work. Deepika gently but relentlessly encourages the discovery of my own methods of connecting to the moment. She creates a space for my own authenticity, the part of myself that is trustworthy, the part that is liberated, the part that is truly alive. Her respect for that space makes so much possible. And she does it with such a light touch that it all seems as if all is as it should be. This is not heavy work, but it is, as she suggests, decidedly deep work. She has helped me open doors I never knew where there and I am very grateful for all of it. "
Jan McRoberts, Marin, CA
"I find our work together is very grounding and very healing for me – I have learned so much from being in relationship with you about boundaries and loving and how to have both and how much better that makes my life. You model so well how to love and have clear boundaries so that I feel really safe and able to take risks and feel silly and sad and young and adult and completely loved and accepted just being myself. As a result I feel more accepting of myself and that I really have gotten Deeper Into Life because of my work with you. My intimate relationships are more honest and also more open and whole. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Travis, Marin, California
"I am very grateful to you for the help you have given to me in the classes and sessions. You helped me to get deeper into my body and let go of the past so I can be more present. I realized how much you really connect with whoever you are working with and know what they are working on and help guide and support them. The pulsation work is very powerful as well in helping to release on a body level whatever is stuck. And it is very valuable to teach new healthy patterns to replace the old ones. So thanks again for all of your help and hopefully I will see you soon."
Maggi, Marin, California
"Working with Deepika is as a mirror of my own self holding me in a very tender place. I feel utterly safe, supported, and loved going to any part of myself that is needing love and attention."
Melle, Mill Valley, California
"Deepika, till now you are the best "breathing therapist/facilitator" I know . I trust you and feel your touch and guidance . If you come to Israel please let me know , I'd really like a session ; if not in group then one on one!"
Mitra, Israel
"I feel totally safe, honored, and supported by Deepika in my sessions with her. I have been able to go deeply into scary, angry, and vulnerable places within which has allowed me much needed and important healing."
Christine, healer, California
"The sessions I've done with you really shifted something in a big way. The old tension we worked on around my lower back and in my legs is gone, and there's so much new energy now it's amazing. I'm still getting used to it... Thank you, you gave me my power back!"
David, California
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel great and everything is so much more clear now. I'm all fired up and ready to play, this is awesome...! I'm gonna tell all my friends about it because they need it too... :-) Before I was nervous about dealing with this stuff inside me, but now I'm all excited about what I've discovered. Everyone should have a chance to learn about themselves!"
Nick, San Francisco, California
Sharing about workshops & classes
I am very grateful to you for the help you have given to me in the classes. You helped me to get deeper into my body and let go of the past so I can be more present. I had an experience recently where I realized how much you really connect with whoever you are working with and know what they are working on and help guide and support them. The pulsation work is very powerful as well in helping to release on a body level whatever is stuck. And it is very valuable to teach new healthy patterns to replace the old ones. So thanks again for all of your help and hopefully I will see you soon."

"Since I started these breath classes last year, my whole life has changed - my work, relationships, everything! it's amazing, this stuff really works, and I'm so much happier now!"
F. Oakland, CA
"Doing the pulsation training is a turning point in my life. Sure, I still get anxious sometimes, but I'm so much more grounded now, and most importantly I can feel myself, experience what's happening in my body, and stay connected. The old feelings of being lost have completely disappeared, and I'm much more adventurous, daring and excited about my life. But the best part is that girls became interested in me - all of a sudden I became this "sexy musician guy" and had girls chasing me like never before!"
Frank, Germany
"I love the Tantric Pulsation evenings, I'm totally addicted! It's sooooo beautiful, so yummy and nourishing. I come out of those evening events totally blissed out, in love with everyone and everything, in love with meeeeeeeee.. :-)"
Yuri, London UK
"The most important part of the workshop for me was learning how to take this energy back into myself. I've always felt so dependent and hooked on the sexual connection with a man, but since the group I can feel how much more whole I feel. I have learned to take that energy back into myself, to nourish myself with my own sensuality. And when I can share it with my boyfriend it's even more beautiful, because I'm so centered and relaxed that it's easy to share. I don't feel that he's taking anything away from me. Thank you so much, I can see that this workshop has really shifted something very deep inside of me."
Katie, San Francisco CA
"Now I feel my body more-more better. I see that my body starts to react more faster to any impulses from outside. Actually, I start to trust my body! For example, several days ago one man invited me to work for a company as a director. My mind said me: "Wow!!! Vatayana! Such a good opportunity! So much big money! Big tea company! You should agree!" But at the same time my body was absolutely in a tension, I felt even nausea. I said to that man that I could not do it. And now I'm totally happy that I listened my body! I'm sure that I do the best for me - I prefer working as a consultant from outside and have more free time. So, I'm starting moving in this direction. I can say that I start new way of life! I'm having so much fun with my boyfriend, and I even met my mama and felt love for her. So everything is fresh and light! Thank you Aneesha!!! love, love, love"
Vatayana, Moscow Russia
"I loved the breath workshop with Deepika, she was so wise, loving and sweet, all the stress melted as soon as we started... I especially liked the way she explains things in such a clear way without any spiritual blah blah..."
Eusebio Gonzales, Mexico City"
"A few days after the workshop I was sitting in a coffee shop having breakfast. Suddenly I noticed that I was just there, relaxed, being with myself. The normal anxiety and fear and judgments were gone. For years if I'd sit alone in a cafe I'd be struggling with all these voices and tensions in my head, worrying about what other people thought of me, how they were judging me and feeling awkward. But now that's all gone, and it's just OK to be how I am. I'm slowly beginning to enjoy being me! It sounds like a small thing, but for me it's huge. I'm very grateful."
Scarlett, Canada
