Your ideal research study

What drew you to consciousness
Growing up in a Hindu household, I was introduced to the transformative potential of meditation and yoga at a young age. However, it wasn’t until a series of unexplainable events at age 19 propelled me into a daily practice and search for meaning through scientific exploration and service.
Hobbies
Meditating, practicing yoga, dancing, making raves safer, camping in the wilderness, creating visual art, drumming, and being with other people.
