About The Founder

My name is Mujeeb Ahmed. It was my fortune to live a simple and stable life. My parents were teachers, and I had a good setup for a moral upbringing. It was also fun growing up with my three lovely siblings. I was a decent student, did my engineering, and started working as a software developer. My last corporate job was with Fidelity Investments, where I worked as a senior software engineer. I worked as a software developer both in India and US. Despite a good career, I didn’t have answers to two crucial questions which were with me ever since I could remember.


Who am I? 

What’s the purpose of my life?

These questions fueled the seeker in me. The more I explored, the more intrigued I got. While I was still at my job, I attended 12 days Vipassana meditation camp, which helped me realize the connection between mind and body, yet my questions were unanswered. After I returned from the US, I had a strong calling to pursue my interest. I was working on external software programs; now, it was time for me to look into inner programming.

education

After I left out of my job, I started exploring more about the mind and metaphysics. I did my Masters in counseling psychology and certifications in many alternative healing therapies. During this phase, I went through various books, literature, seminars, workshops and learnt from amazing mentors from India, US, UK, South Asia, South America, and many more. The more I dwelled, the more clarity I got. It also helped me have some of my own metaphysical experiences. When I started feeling settled with my questions, I started sharing whatever I gathered through my learnings and personal experiences. One modality I stumbled upon in this journey was Redikall Insights channeled by Aatmn Parmar. Redikall Insights helped me put all the bits and pieces of information I gathered into a clear perspective and find answers to my questions. Today, I train people on various courses from the Redikall Insights curriculum.

I have always been a sports enthusiast, and understanding the relationship between mind and body helped me to enhance my fitness. True well-being doesn’t exist without both Mind and Body being Healthy. With this intention, we will soon launch programs that will help our community of clients and students to form their own health routines.

Along with teaching, I love traveling. Traveling brings many insights and helps you step back and review your life from a distance. Most of the time, it’s solo backpacking. I have traveled and explored unique places throughout India and abroad. One of our pipeline initiatives is sharing knowledge while traveling with the group. Trips alone are rejuvenating, and if we can add a purpose to the travel by sharing knowledge on the go, it can be a fun way of learning. Drop a message to us if this idea intrigues you. What you need is to have an open mind and the flexibility to break out of your comfort zone.
