✨️ Wisdom Wednesday ✨
9 years ago today, by the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, India... 🇮🇳
I had already been running my holistic health business in New Zealand since 2013, but I knew I wanted to anchor my work in something even deeper.
This photo captures the moment I completed a deep immersion into Osho meditation and received my spiritual name from my guru: Prem Tapasya (प्रेम तपस्या).
In Sanskrit, Prem means unconditional love, and Tapasya means deep, disciplined inner fire. Together, they translate to "The Discipline of Love."
You won't see this name on my website or email signature. I have chosen to keep it private for nearly a decade because it isn't a public title—it is an inner compass. A quiet reminder of the intention I bring to both my life and my work.
For 9 of the 13 years I've been in practice, this name has gently guided everything I do. It reminds me daily to balance two essential forces:
🤍 Prem (Love) — Creating a safe, compassionate, and deeply accepting space where healing can unfold.
🔥 Tapasya (Discipline) — Bringing dedication, presence, skill, and unwavering focus to supporting transformation.
Looking back at this photo today fills me with deep gratitude for the path that has unfolded since that day in Rishikesh.
To every client who has trusted me with their healing journey over the years, thank you. It is a privilege to hold space for you, and I remain committed to practising this discipline of love every single day. 🤍🙏
Arohanui, Lis xx
