About Diana Zaheer — Inner Harbor Teachings

I am lifelong learner. I spend my days teaching about the inner journey from my mountaintop in Colorado, where it snows from October to May, or from my quiet apartment in noisy New Delhi, India, where I feel more alive than anywhere on the planet, except for perhaps in Nepal.

I grew up in a family of healers, and I have studied with master teachers while living in different corners of the world. As far back as I can recall — I think I was four years old — I saw energy. It didn't seem strange; in fact, it felt quite natural. Its visual presence continues to provide comfort and companionship. It reminds me that we are not alone in our everyday conventional life but part of a greater reality that is beneficent, unbounded and true.

I come from a family with generations of sensitive people. Two of my grandparents worked as healers in the Christian Science tradition. I grew up around many adults who felt connected to the Divine. After working as a journalist for many years, I began studying energy healing techniques and spiritual traditions from around the world. I wanted to help people understand energy and healing with the same precision and measurability of journalistic science. I have lived in the United States, Dubai, Nepal, Kazakhstan and India. I was born in Berkeley, California.

My formal healing studies began at the age of 23 when I joined the Diamond Heart Training of the Ridhwan School in Berkeley, California. This work transformed my daily life, and it profoundly influences my own work with clients. I am truly grateful for the 15 years I spent in this inner work school and for the deep realizations of the school’s founder, Hameed Ali.

To better understand the physiology and anatomy of the human body, I completed a California state approved massage therapy and healing arts certification from the Diamond Light School in Marin County, California. Vajra Matusow, the school’s director, masterfully gave me tremendous knowledge and helped me refine and appreciate my energy healing capacities. From Healing Touch International, an organization started by U.S. nurses to share techniques and understanding about energy work, I learned the importance of being able to clearly talk with clients about the energy field and the healing process.

Living overseas, I have had the privilege to meet and learn from practitioners of different spiritual and healing traditions. In Nepal, I began privately studying Tibetan medicine with gifted master teacher Dr. Namgyal Phunrab and have integrated its ancient philosophy and practices into my work. In Nepal and India, I have had the great fortune to spend time in many monasteries. In India, I have been truly blessed to attend workshops offered by His Holiness The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa and his root teacher His Eminence The 12th Khentin Tai Situ Rinpoche and to meet with them personally.

I have focused my studies during the past few years on teachings from the New Thought-Ancient Wisdom tradition, immersing myself in the works of Ernest Holmes, Joel Goldsmith and Michael Bernard Beckwith. I am truly grateful for my private work in this tradition with Ester Nicholson, author of Soul Recovery.

Many of my clients seek support from me as part of their inner journey to find depth and meaning in their lives. I also have specialized experience working with people who

are gifted and talented
have trauma in their personal history
experience high sensitivity to their environments
underachieve despite big natural capacities
feel alien in the conventional world.

I look forward to sharing resources with you and helping you discover the treasure inside of you.
