I know what it feels like to be empty, to drift along and not be anchored in anything. I know how it feels to live without meaning, or purpose. In my teenage years I dedicated a lot of time to physical culture. I studied and tried various health related diets. I practiced weight lifting, jogging, hatha yoga and other exercise routines long before they became fashionable. Physically I felt wonderful but inwardly I felt incomplete.

During this same period I was involved in a relationship but I still felt an undercurrent of inner loneliness and separation.

Several years later I went to university with the intention of becoming a physical education instructor. While at university I was enthralled with the Spartan ideal of a perfect body and mind. At this point I shifted my focus and decided to major in psychology. I studied the capabilities of the mind and began to cultivate them. In fact in my first year I achieved scholarship marks due to my new found skills in concentration. Even with these newly acquired capabilities I still felt that something was missing.

Eventually I left university searching for my soul. I was finally introduced to meditation and through its practice and its benefits I began to nurture my soul.

At the age of twenty-one I was practicing meditation and yoga, spending a nine-month period of seclusion in the Rocky Mountains.

At 24, I became a monastic in Paramahansa Yogananda’s Spiritual Organization (Self-Realization Fellowship) dedicating my life in the search for God. I continue to faithfully practice Paramahansa Yogananda's life transforming meditation techniques to this day.

After leaving the Order, I met my wife Karen and traveled throughout North America and Europe visiting different spiritual communities and studying various alternative healing techniques.

For 10 years Karen and I lived in a spiritual community in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Returning to Canada, we now live on a farm in Southern Ontario with our 14 cats.

I was the first to write and produce relaxation (New Age) music in Canada. My best-selling book Seven Mansions of Color has become a classic in Color Therapy.

In order to help those of all faiths, I studied and became a certified Spiritual Director graduating from the University of British Columbia’s Pacific Jubilee Program at the Vancouver School of Theology.

At present, I am a Stress Management Instructor at the Dorothy Madgett Stress Management Clinic in downtown Toronto where I teach relaxation classes and a 15-week lecture series to groups and individuals.

I have been fortunate to have touched the lives of thousands through my books, music and workshops.  Many have said my gentle approach makes it easy for them to feel safe and open to their highest potential. My goal is to help people meet all life’s difficulties with courage, love, peace, and joy. 

It is a blessing and joy to travel the spiritual path with you.
