SHA, a Mystic: From Egypt, the land of Alchemy (transformation). He always had an inner passion towards knowing his Real Self, understand life from a deeper perspective, exploring different points of views which ultimately led him to self realisation. Growing up he was always asking bigger questions than most people have answers to, such as "What is the meaning of Life ?", "Why is there suffering ?", "Why some people are rich and some are poor ?", "Why people don't just Love each other and live in harmony together ?" ... and slowly but surly he started receiving answers to his questions which led him to seeing a bigger and profound view of the state of existence on planet Earth.
SHA studies - besides Sound, Waves & Vibrations - include Egyptian modern energy science "BioGeometry", Numerology, Sacred Geometry, Pranic Healing, Ancient Symbolism, Hermetic & Esoteric teachings, plant medicine, light & color therapy, production technology, design & material science among others.
