From logistics manager to Tantra guru.

It was the winter of 2010 when I was on my way to work. On a cold dark morning as it usually is in Estonia for about 5 months a year. I rushed to my office to catch up with all the emails after a short Christmas holiday. Our company had reached the No. 1 exporter status in the entire country. During that year though I had to lay off more than 60 employees to cut the cost due to economic recession. Each morning I had to come up with a new lie, about why we had to lay off more people to reach our goals. However, many employees were actually happy to leave because of the unbearable pressure at work.

But that day was somehow different for me. I had a deep realization that morning while I was standing in a coffee line at our cafeteria. A colleague about my age was standing in front of me. Suddenly his appearance caught my attention. I noticed that his hair was completely gray. He used to have long black hair but now it was all plain white. I realized, that the stress level at work was slowly killing us all. The guy had just turned 32!

The promise

That’s when I made a promise to myself that I would not end up with gray hair in my 32. From that day on things started to change in my life rapidly. The next month I was introduced to Tantra. This teaching opened my eyes to a completely new world that I had no clue about. I quit eating meat and started practicing Hatha Yoga. Six months later after this morning realization, I left my job at one of the most successful businesses at that time. Everyone thought I was crazy when instead I moved to the countryside with my family.

Change in my passport in two years.

Moving to a farmhouse in South Estonia was the only reasonable and affordable way for me to heal myself from burnout. For another six months I could not read any emails or answer the phone. All I needed was silence. Soon this peace started to cure me and I began to write. This silence opened new channels in me. I started channeling fascinating information from the source. There was so much new knowledge pouring through me that I started writing books and making movies about it. I was fascinated the most by Tantra. This teaching seemed to me so profound and so healing that it resonated with me on every level. I started to travel and learn Tantra from different teachers from around the world. I even made a documentary about my quest. It got so clear to me that this had become my new path in life.

Becoming a teacher

In 2015 I gave my first lecture on Tantra back in Thailand. It was an Ayurveda retreat where I was invited to co-facilitate. Since then I’ve been teaching Tantra and bodywork in different parts of the world. Today I facilitate retreats and workshops with my wife Bella who is also devoted tantrika. We even have an international Tantra Festival in Estonia that is happening for the 5’th year in the row. There are more than 300 guests from all around the world each year joining our event. We have international teachers and musicians performing on 4 different stages for 4 days in a row. It’s a beautiful tradition that unites people from all different colors and religions.

So I don’t know, was it my destiny or my dream that brought me to my new life where I travel the world with my love and teach people meditation, massage, and healthy relationships. But I can tell you for sure that this has been the best choice of my life. Because now I’m surrounded by healthy and happy people who take care of them selves. I have changed the lives of thousands of people by bringing joy and sharing this wisdom. Now I’m free to live a life I choose with the people I love. And I want YOU to have that opportunity. Since I left my job, I’ve made over 1000 movies, written over 200 poems, published two books, and organized events in 8 different countries on 4 continents.

BTW: One year later after I quit my job that colleague who I saw at the cafeteria, died from a heart attack right at the office.

Your chance

Imagine how much can you do with your life if you become free in your choices. That’s how you too become a creator. Create your own destiny by manifesting your dreams. Find your passion and start living it. Because no one else will do it for you. Your life is waiting for you outside. You just have to be brave enough to embrace it.
