The Art of Living Awake
Amiya has a rare gift: she teaches how to walk in the world while staying rooted in openness and beauty. Unlike an ascetic who withdraws from life, her work brings states of presence directly into everyday situations. She bridges the gap between meditation and life — showing how awareness can remain alive while shopping, working, speaking, or moving through the day.
Her guidance transforms ordinary actions into practice. Even in something as simple as going to a shop, she invites you to stay relaxed, heart open, and expansive. In this way, subtle states become embodied, not fleeting or disconnected.
The essence of her work Is to carry inner beauty into every encounter, to live daily life in presence that feels both natural and extraordinary.

She is also a professional singer, composer, and pianist, creating artistic-educational projects under the name Amiya Inspiration.
“When I was nine years old, I experienced a spontaneous spiritual awakening. One evening, while sitting in my room, I suddenly “saw” with my own eyes a different World. I realized it was fluid, transparent, not made of objects—so unlike what my mind had known until then. Everything was Vibration and Space. This moment ignited within me an endless desire to explore and truly know both Myself and the Universe.
By the age of fourteen, I was already searching for books on philosophy, theosophy, quantum physics, poetry, and spirituality. Around that time, fate brought me to a brilliant scientist and intellectual, whom I still consider my first Teacher of thought. Under his guidance, I began to develop my intellect, radically expand my perception, and explore different systems of interpreting the Universe and human existence. More extraordinary experiences began to unfold. At the same time, trusting my own intuition, I started to practice Dao Tantra and mysticism on my own. Essential openings also came through art: I was actively composing academic music and singing.
Yet, deep in my heart, I longed to meet a true spiritual Master, a living Path that would reveal the very essence of the spiritual and mystical world. I wanted to live as the heroes of my spiritual books had lived. I longed for Transformation.
Finally, at the age of eighteen, my dream came true: I met my Spiritual Teacher. Not in the distant Himalayas or in Asian ashrams, but here, in Lithuania! He—and later, other Masters from whom I learned personally—were bearers of an authentic tradition of spiritual transformation. The roots of this Tradition reached into the unconventional, wild currents of Sufism, deeply infused with Tantrism. Knowledge, practices, and wisdom were passed on directly, heart to heart. Often, this also meant living with the Master. And this is what happened to me.
Alongside my studies at the Academy of Music and Theatre, I entered a radical Path of learning. I devoted myself fully to the practices of this Tradition—practicing day and night, constantly receiving direct guidance from my Master.
Masks fell away: lies, lack of self-love, egoism. I had to separate the chaff from the grain within myself. I had to learn to live anew—consciously, with an open heart and a silent mind, feeling the totality of myself and the world. In Truth.
After some time, my Teacher encouraged me to deepen my studies in Tantra. Life then led me to enlightened Masters of Kashmiri Shaivism Tantra. I studied with them for about twelve years, and to this day I continue to learn and remain connected with them.
These two Paths—their wisdom, beauty, and practices—became the very core of my inner journey. My twenty-year exploration did not end with diplomas or a “crown of knowledge.” Instead, I became a devoted student of life itself—a curious child who feels the exhilarating breath of the unknown and remains always ready to be surprised, nourished, and transformed by each moment.”
Crazy sufi and tantric lineage
I always longed to meet a real spiritual Master—and to walk a mystical path full of magic, love, and ancient wisdom. This yearning was in me since childhood—perhaps even from many lifetimes before.
And when I was nineteen, the dream became reality.
I encountered an entire lineage of awakened Masters. A unique, wild, and radiant transmission unlike anything I had ever heard of. A crazy-wisdom lineage rooted in both Dervish and Tantric traditions—fierce, ecstatic, and utterly alive.
And what made it even more miraculous?
I didn’t find them in India, or Japan, or on some far-off sacred mountain. I met them right where I was living—in a small, quiet country called Lithuania. One of my beloved Masters lived just a fifteen-minute walk from my home.
The path choses you
They say that we don’t choose the Path—the Path chooses us. And in my case, it felt true. The taste of freedom, the fire of longing, the shimmer of boundless love were already dancing in my cells. And then, at the perfect moment, this mysterious Tradition pulled me into its loving, transformative embrace.
There are many kinds of spiritual paths.
Some slowly prepare you for awakening—step by step—through years of practices.
Others push you straight into the depths of your true nature, but leave you lost after the shocking revelation, without tools for how to live it.
Some invite you to escape society, live in nature, or join small alternative communities—often without ever touching the deepest mystery of who you are.
But this Path…
This one is something else entirely.
It blasts you open—into your essence, into boundless love, into oceans of vibrant energy—again and again. Not just once, but week after week, deeper and more intensely. And at the same time, it teaches you how to live as if you are already enlightened—in the middle of ordinary life.
“Enlightenment Before Enlightenment.” That is how it feels!

When you live with a master
Enlightenment Before Enlightenment.
It shows you how to embody silence, peace, and wild divine love in the heart of every moment.
Not just on a mountaintop or a meditation cushion.
But in every gesture, every conversation, every piece of laundry, every trip to the grocery store.
And of course, when you live like this…
Your life is no longer ordinary.
It becomes MAGNIFICENT.
MIRACULOUS.
BEAUTIFUL.
LUMINOUS.
This Path does not avoid the world.
It does not reject desire, ego, mind, money, sex, success, power, or even chaos.
No—this Path includes everything. It brings intense presence, inner light, and fearless awareness into all of it. It transforms the mud into gold. The noise into music. The market into a temple.
We practice in the heart of modern life.
No need to escape. No need to close your eyes.
You can discover divinity in everything—with your eyes wide open, right in the middle of the marketplace.
