(Ai assist:) Guru Yogi Shivan (affectionately called Guruji) is a master healer and modern mystic rooted in ancient Indian traditions, particularly Siddha and Kundalini Yoga lineages. Guruji shares his remarkable life story: born a hyperactive child in Kerala, India, he was channeled into Kalaripayattu (the ancient mother of martial arts like kung fu and karate), later becoming a third-degree black belt in karate, a state boxing champion, and a skilled healer using marma (energy points) activation. Working in Oman in the late 1980s as a popular healer for the elite, he witnessed the limits of money, power, and modern medicine against disease and death. This realization sparked a deep existential crisis, leading him to abandon worldly life, don saffron robes, search India for a true guru, and receive initiation into authentic Siddha/Kundalini yoga. He spent 4.5 years in forest seclusion, practicing advanced techniques—including controlled pranayama (breath retention/kumbhaka) to induce near-death/out-of-body experiences consciously. He describes exiting the body, viewing it from outside, and realizing consciousness as formless, infinite energy beyond physical limits. His guru advised balancing inner realization with societal engagement rather than full Himalayan retreat, leading him to establish a healing center focused on three-dimensional health: physical, mental, and spiritual. The discussion explores deep topics: transcending the mind through meditation (chitta vritti nirodha), the illusion of eternalism vs. nihilism (true eternity is formless, beyond mind's finite forms), pranayama's role in controlling hormones/glands/autonomic functions, distinctions between compulsive enjoyment (bhogi), troubled living (rogi), and conscious joyful living (yogi), and managing modern stress/anxiety as poor "body machine" maintenance—addressed via breath awareness, instinct-intellect union, and trusting nature's design. Guruji emphasizes practical healing: conscious breath extends life force (prana), quiets the mind, dissolves worries, and unlocks inner potential for self-healing. He contrasts artificial intoxication (drugs) with constructive meditation for higher states. Animals instinctively fast and self-medicate; humans, over-reliant on intellect/information, lose this. He promotes self-love, daily meditation (even 20-25 minutes), and trusting nature's protection.

Focus inward, think infinity, become as strong as it. A deeply inspiring dialogue blending personal transformation, ancient science, and timeless wisdom for wholeness and freedom.
