My journey of self-exploration accelerated in my mid-thirties, a point in life where I found myself questioning the deeper meaning of existence. At that juncture, I sensed a desire for more profound experiences, realizing that the routine of accumulating possessions and following the same patterns lacked depth and meaning.

In this quest, I delved into the philosophies of Eastern traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen, Tao and more, alongside exploring Western philosophy, science, and the arts. Engaging in extensive reading and embracing various mindfulness practices, I gradually uncovered a profound approach to living—a deeper connection with the universe that changed my perception of life.

This transformative journey inspired me to write my first book (Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind) and lay the foundations for Affirmate on the principles of mindful living.
