Unmani: Endless Opening
Manage episode 326965202 series 3312159
Unmani is originally from the UK, but has lived a nomadic life in many countries around the world from the age of 18. Since Unmani was a child, she has never identified with being a separate individual, and always felt deeply at one with life. But as her environment did not reflect this Oneness, she felt lost and alone, as if she had been dropped on an alien planet. Truth was always her only passion and reason for living. She spent years traveling around the world in search of the truth. Eventually Unmani’s wake up call was answered when she met the Zen master, Dolano. Unmani finally woke up out of self-doubt and confusion, and acknowledged her true nature as that same Oneness that she had always known since she was a child.
In 2013 she met her husband, the wonderful musician, and courageous lover of life, Robert Hanuman. In 2015 their son, Sky, was born. For Unmani, becoming a mother, continues to be an endless awakening to this very human life.
On 3rd January 2018, Robert Hanuman died suddenly from a heart attack while they were in India. This has been, and continues to be, a heartbreaking loss for Unmani and Sky. Robert Hanuman’s presence deeply influenced Unmani’s teaching, and in the time they were together it evolved into a more human expression of the courage to live the paradox of the Absolute, living as this human. Robert put Unmani’s words to his beautiful classical guitar music and Unmani still plays his songs at her meetings.
Unmani has been holding meetings and retreats all over the world for since 2003, and in this time people have been deeply touched by her work: She meets each person exactly where they are at, and in whatever they need at the time, while at the same time holding them in the truth of who they really are beyond it all. This combination, and paradox, of the personal and impersonal, brings so much depth, openness and healing to people’s lives. They wake up to who they really are, and discover how this is lived and integrated into their daily lives.
