Arani is the sacred name for the kindling sticks used by ancient hands in the sacred temples to summon the divine flame. Hidden within each of us is this same spark—the quiet potential to awaken light through the gentle friction of presence and practice. When we tend this inner fire, it burns not only to guide our own becoming, but to cast warmth and illumination for others still finding their way home to truth, to beauty, to what is real.
Deva Arani is a compassionate guide and intuitive healer specializing in integration, emotional healing, and sacred embodiment. Through Compassionate Inquiry, embodiment practices, meditation, breathwork, and yoga, she supports women in healing the mother wound and seekers integrating plant medicine experiences with depth, clarity, and wisdom.
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”
For over two decades, I’ve walked the path of healing and remembrance, studying yoga, meditation, and sacred plant medicines across cultures and traditions. My work is rooted in lived experience and a deep reverence for the teachings that emerge when we slow down and truly listen to the body, to the Earth, to the wisdom keepers, and to the wisdom within.
I’ve had the privilege of learning from Eastern Masters and teachers, as well as both Andean and Amazonian Indigenous lineages. My practice has evolved and I now focus on guiding women through the tender and transformational process of healing the mother wound; and I offer support for those integrating sacred plant medicine journeys into daily life. My approach blends ancient wisdom with somatic, intuitive, and energetic practices—meeting people where they are, with compassion and presence.
I’m currently writing two books that will be published by Sentient Publications and distributed by Simon and Schuster:
Integration Alchemy: The Real Ceremony is your Life, a grounded guide for working with the medicine long after the ceremony ends (coming January 2026), and
Mother Ache: Reweaving Maternal Love, an exploration of ancestral healing, the mother wound, and the longing to belong (coming May 2026).
This work isn’t about fixing ourselves—it’s about coming home to ourselves. Again and again.
“The journey is the destination.”
I am a Compassionate Inquiry Facilitator and integration guide dedicated to supporting deep personal healing. In any given session, I may draw on Compassionate Inquiry, somatic practices, breathwork, movement, meditation, or coaching to help clients move through adaptive patterns like anxiety, procrastination, and emotional shutdown. My work is grounded in the present moment, always centered on helping you tune in to your body’s wisdom, heal past wounds, and awaken to new possibilities.
Awareness is the gateway to transformation. Cultivating that awareness—through practices like meditation—requires presence, discipline, and support. As a meditation teacher, I offer practical tools to help you develop a sustainable daily practice that fits your life and personality. Together, we’ll find the approach that resonates with your nervous system, your rhythm, and your soul.
I am a KRI-certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher and now offer Laya Yoga, a full-body, heart-centered practice that emphasizes connection to the navel and heart centers. I weave these practices into all of my work, offering personalized home practices, private sessions, and community classes. I also facilitate Osho Active Meditations, creating dynamic pathways into silence and self-discovery.
I am passionate about these offerings because they work—and because now, more than ever, is the time to come home to who you truly are. My purpose is to help you find the right friction to feed your inner fire, so that your light may illuminate your path and inspire others on theirs.
My life has unfolded as a sacred pattern, leading me through many paths of learning and becoming. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Colorado, and I have been blessed to study and share diverse modalities of self-inquiry, healing, and embodied wisdom. I remain deeply committed to my own healing and evolution—and to serving my brothers and sisters with humility and presence.
