CitiShakti
Beyond the story there is a field—
I’ll meet you there
A private practice and training ground for those who have always perceived more than they had words for, and are ready to enter it fully.
Clear, grounded, presence, at flow with life, and at ease even in the difficult moments– this is what is possible. Not only in peak moments, but in the continuous challenges of everyday life. When your mind is as open as a clear blue sky, decisions become easier, thoughts are sharper, creativity flows, and you see the bigger picture. When you train the mind to optimally flourish, your whole life becomes easier and more aligned with your purpose. You become a more generous, integrated, powerful, and lovingly connected version of yourself. What most people never realize is that these flow states are not luck, and they are not rare. They can be reached on purpose, and with practice, your living reality becomes closer to your ideal.
For those who have always sensed there is more to life, this is the training ground. CitiShakti draws on centuries of contemplative practice from the world's wisdom traditions—meditation, yoga, shamanism, Tantra, Qi Gong, energy healing, and the deep states of expanded awareness—and holds them through a modern lens of neuroscience, psychology, somatic experiencing, and mind-body research. The mystery is real. So is the method. What results is a practice shaped precisely around you.
Citishakti is a Sanskrit word for the union of consciousness and energy — the ecstatic, loving, radiant ground that underlies all of creation. Many traditions carry names for this same presence: Holy Spirit, Rigpa, and the Great Mystery.
You may have already touched it. In a moment of awe, of profound beauty, or of stillness, you may have felt yourself held by something far larger than you. Perhaps late at night beneath the stars, in ceremony, on retreat, or in the presence of someone you love. You knew, briefly, that you were vast, yloved beyond measure, and woven into everything.
This work is about learning to find your way back to that ground—not just in peak moments, but as a living reality you can inhabit. Our sessions are about accessing CitiShakti and deepening it, training your mind to embody it, and transforming your life to become a living container of this field.
CitiShakti reaches deeper than coaching or therapy, into the layers of the body and the subconscious where your patterns are actually held. We begin by establishing a profound sense of safety, so you can go further than you safely could alone. From there we work at the pace of your own system, with what it is ready to release and what it is ready to become. Each session is co-created and entirely yours. Depending on what you need and what you are ready for, the work can move through deep meditative stillness, sound healing, somatic attunement, energy healing, channeling, guided trance, and full shamanic journeying.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?
The mind grows quiet. The constant narration falls away, and into its place comes the deep absorption the contemplatives named Jhana, a state of stillness and contentment where clarity arrives without effort.
In deeper states you may meet ancestors, guides, or parts of yourself that have been waiting for this kind of attention. The body begins to release what it has carried, through breath, tears, trembling, or a single long exhale that feels like years coming loose. No substances are involved, and you remain present throughout.
Subconscious patterns shift at the root level. Something you've been carrying your whole life loosens. What felt permanent, reorganizes. Unlike traditional therapy, you will feel a difference from the first session onwards. Even after years of no progress, long held patterns can profoundly shift.
WHAT CHANGES?
You stop fighting your nervous system. The low-grade vigilance running underneath everything, the anxiety and the patterns formed under stress, can be reached and genuinely reorganized. Not managed. Changed at the source.
You decide from a different place. Not from pressure, and not from the version of you that formed under strain. From a quieter, steadier, more trustworthy signal.
You reach states that become your ground. Deep stillness. Clarity. The clean sense of waking up inside your own life. With practice these stop being rare moments and become a baseline you can return to.
HOW THIS WORKS
Think of a tuning fork. It does not push another object. It simply holds its own coherence, and whatever is near that can resonate, begins to answer. That is the truest description of a session with Ara Khin.
Ara came to this work the way most genuine guides do, through necessity. Born in Myanmar into a lineage of seers and healers, she carried a rare sensitivity that she spent years trying to metabolize through the intellect, with degrees from Harvard and Berkeley, graduate teaching, and fieldwork in humanitarian conflict zones. The training held. The sensitivity did not stop.
What brought her fully to this work was illness, a life threatening autoimmune condition that conventional medicine could not resolve, which left her in daily pain and depleted at the root. She healed it anyway, across twenty years of sustained practice: study with Tibetan lamas and Buddhist monks, training in shamanic lineages, work with Tantric and Vedanta teachers, Luminous Awareness teachers, and deep immersion in somatic modalities including Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, energy healing, and Internal Family Systems. In traditions across cultures, this path of illness, descent, and return is recognized as the ground of real healing capacity. One cannot guide another through country one has not crossed.
In deep meditative states her own system holds a coherence that yours, by resonance, remembers how to find. She works with a small number of people, because presence of this kind asks for everything and cannot be scaled. Her gift is to perceive the energetic field with unusual precision, to locate what is held there, and to accompany you through the full arc of return. Working at the meeting place of somatic attunement, contemplative depth, shamanic channeling, and energetic perception, she meets people who are ready to go deeper, with a guide who can genuinely meet them where they are.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You're intellectually rigorous and spiritually serious
You feel the call of your intuition guiding you here
You've had experiences that expanded your consciousness but that your regular life has not integrated yet
You lead well on the outside yet something underneath hasn't been touched
You're at a turning point and want to navigate it with depth, not just strategy
You understand that genuine clarity is the most practical tool for your life and career
How a session feels
-
"Working with Ara is like being bathed in a warm light. She has a gentle very loving presence that allowed me to feel safe and move so much sadness and fear out of my body. I had this incredible vision of me in a past life where I was hunted for being a witch. She helped me process the fear and guided me gently back into my body. I was crying, shaking, laughing, and finally able to just let go of a deep sigh. Something profound changed and I'm still integrating the lessons that I experienced through the journey."

"Ara's presence is pure light. She guided me with such grace, compassion, and clarity that layers of old energy began to dissolve effortlessly. I feel open now, connected to my heart, and able to truly listen to its desires. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me come home to myself!"

"Ara has a true gift. My session with her revealed I was in the hands of an incredibly powerful healer and I felt the effects for a long time after the session. She helped me move density out of my body and open to a frequency allowing for more light to move in. I am very grateful to be able to work with her."
