Welcome to the Essence of Life!
A beam of light on a cloudy day, Krishna Madappa is committed to living each moment with passion, joy, and the gusto of life! He dedicates each breath to sharing Ancient Healing Traditions and Daily Practices with others, just as they have been taught and passed on to him by sages, shamans and medicine peoples from India and diverse wisdom cultures of the world. His greatest joy is in assisting all to reconnect with their own Divinity Within.

To serve this purpose Krishna crosses continents with his Learning Intensives as well as offering Individual and Group Consultations and Retreats from his home base in Taos, New Mexico.

Krishna is:
A Holistic Healer, Teacher and Storyteller sharing ancient Vedic wisdom and mindful practices for radiant living.

A clinician, distiller and creator of Essential Oil Blends and Absolutes, see The Sacred Oils of Krishna page.

A researcher and scientific explorer into the study of Energy Fields through the use of the Electro Photon Capture technology (also referred to as gdv – gas discharge visualization).

Won't you join us in exploring and experiencing Your Vital Well Being!





Life in the world and life in the Spirit are not incompatible. Work, or action, is not contrary to knowledge of God, but indeed, if performed without attachment, is a means to it.

On the other hand, renunciation is renunciation of the ego, of selfishness - not of life. The end, both of work and renunciation, is to know the Self (Atman) within and Brahman without and to realize their identity. The self is Brahman and Brahman is all."
