For your soul
Spiritual Healing
Drawn from the JNANA Kanda lineage of Bali.
If you've come this far, the thing you're carrying probably doesn't have a tidy name — grief that won't lift, a sense of being lost, a life that looks fine and feels hollow. This is the deepest of the three ways Anand works, drawn from an old Balinese healing tradition. It asks nothing of your beliefs, only your willingness to be met.
What spiritual healing actually is
Spiritual healing is the part of this work that tends to whatever sits beneath the mind and the body — the part of a person that feels lost, untethered, grief-stricken, or quietly empty even when everything on the surface is in order. It isn't about diagnosing a problem and fixing it. It's about creating a still, held space where the things you've been carrying alone can finally surface, settle, and begin to move.
Despite the name, this is not a religion, and it is not faith healing. Nobody is asked to believe in anything, pray to anything, or convert to anything. “Spiritual” here points to the layer of a person that organized care often has no language for — meaning, connection, the felt sense of who you are and why you're here — not to any doctrine. People of every faith and of no faith receive this work, and it sits alongside whatever you already believe rather than competing with it.
What actually happens is quieter and more grounded than the word might suggest. There's no theater, no spectacle, no grand claims. There's a calm room, an unhurried hour, and a practitioner trained to hold steady attention while something in you loosens. Many people arrive bracing for something strange and find instead the simplest thing: being fully met, without having to explain or perform, often for the first time in a long while.
How Anand came to this work
This is the tradition Anand trained in most deeply, and naming it properly matters. He was initiated into the JNANA Kanda lineage of Bali — jñāna being the Sanskrit word for knowledge or inner wisdom, kanda meaning a branch or division of teaching. It is, in essence, a path of healing through inner knowing: an old and living tradition passed from teacher to student rather than learned from books, with roots reaching back generations in Balinese spiritual practice.
He studied directly under Mahaguru Mangku Alit Ajna in Tabanan, Bali — not through a course or a certificate, but through in-person apprenticeship and initiation in the traditional way. “Mahaguru” means great teacher; “Mangku” is a Balinese title for a consecrated spiritual practitioner. To be initiated into a lineage like this is to be entrusted with it — with both its methods and its ethic of care — and it is the foundation of everything Anand offers under the heading of spiritual healing.
Anand is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist, and he holds these two worlds with care — never blurring them, never mystifying, never overclaiming. He's clear-eyed about what spiritual healing can offer and about its limits: it is not medical or mental-health treatment, and where those are what's needed first, he'll tell you so honestly, from the very first conversation.
What happens in a session
Arrival.
We begin simply by talking — what's been weighing on you, what feels lost or stuck, any questions about the work. Nothing starts until you feel ready, and you never have to find the perfect words first.
Settling.
Anand guides you into a quiet, supported, deeply present state. There's nothing to do and nothing to perform — just permission to stop holding everything up for a while. This stillness is itself where the work begins.
The healing work.
From that settled place, Anand holds steady attention while the grief, the heaviness, or the sense of being adrift is given room to surface and move. People experience this differently — release, a deep quiet, clarity arriving unforced, a long-held weight easing. The pace is always yours.
Integration.
We return gently, with time to rest and to put words to what shifted. You leave with simple guidance for the days ahead, since this kind of settling often keeps unfolding quietly long after the session ends.

What this helps with
- Grief — making room for loss that you've been carrying alone, so it can soften from something you survive into something you can hold.
- Feeling lost — finding ground again when direction has gone missing and nothing quite points the way.
- Mid-life — for the “successful but empty” recalibration, when a life that looks right on paper has stopped feeling like yours.
- Life blocked — easing the stuck, going-nowhere feeling when you can't name what's in the way but know something is.
- Spiritual seeking — for the longing for meaning or connection that has no anchor, without asking you to adopt any belief to follow it.
What people say
Questions people ask
Is this a religion? Do I have to believe anything?
No. Spiritual healing is not a religion and not faith healing — you're never asked to believe in anything, pray to anything, or convert to anything. “Spiritual” simply names the deeper layer of a person — meaning, connection, the felt sense of self — that other kinds of care often can't reach. People of every faith and of none receive this work, exactly as they are.
What is JNANA Kanda, actually?
JNANA Kanda is the Balinese healing lineage Anand was initiated into. The name comes from Sanskrit — jñāna, meaning knowledge or inner wisdom, and kanda, meaning a branch or division of teaching — so it's essentially a path of healing through inner knowing. It's an old, living tradition passed directly from teacher to student over generations, which is how Anand learned it: in person, in Bali, under Mahaguru Mangku Alit Ajna.
Who can receive this work?
Almost anyone who's drawn to it. There's no prerequisite, no belief requirement, no level of “spiritual readiness” you need to reach first — people come carrying grief, emptiness, life transitions, or simply a longing they can't name. The one honest exception is that spiritual healing isn't a substitute for medical or mental-health care; if you're in crisis or need clinical support, that should come first, and Anand will say so.
What actually shifts after this work?
It's usually quiet rather than dramatic. People describe a weight lifting, grief softening into something they can carry, a sense of direction returning, or simply feeling like themselves again. It rarely changes your circumstances overnight; what tends to change is your relationship to them — the inner ground feels steadier, and life starts to feel like yours again.
I'm a skeptic. Is there any point in me coming?
There can be, and skepticism is no barrier. You don't need to believe in the framework for the experience to do something — many people arrive doubtful and simply notice, afterward, that they feel different. Anand won't ask you to accept any worldview; he'll just hold the space, and you're free to judge it by what you actually feel, not by what you're told to expect.
How does this relate to my own faith or other practices?
It sits alongside them, not against them. Because this work asks nothing of your beliefs, it doesn't compete with your religion, your meditation practice, your therapy, or anything else you draw on. Many people fold it into a life that already has spiritual or clinical support in it, and Anand actively encourages keeping the good things you already have.
When you're ready
There's no urgency here, and no pressure to decide today. If something deeper has been calling and you're not sure where to take it, the gentlest first step is a short, honest conversation — no cost, no obligation.
