Who is Dharma Bodhi?

Aloha! My name is Dharma Bodhi. I am a men’s mentor and life coach guiding men to understand their divine masculinity and clear any dogma that you have been programmed to carry in your life. This extra baggage is a huge weight on your mind, body and soul, forcing you to shrink to fit the places in your life which you have outgrown. You will never be able to achieve the success that you are born to, often leave this world without fully living your lifepath.

I was born into a Muslim family in the middle east and was brought up in the religion of Islam. I grew up in a very oppressive family and my life was full of authoritarianism. Also, like almost everyone, I was named Mohammad. From the very beginning, my parents did not want me to be free in any way and used every tactic they could to disempower me. Physical, emotional, and psychological abuse was their ammo into my late 20s. I would get slapped, beaten with shoes and rackets for coming home late after studying at school.

As I began to think for myself, I got used to the torture my parents regularly inflicted on me. So, they began to encourage my younger brother and sister to bully me. They would often yell at me, call me names and speak down to me. They were being used as puppets by my parents.

I was scared being at home, so I did whatever I could to stay out of the house as much as possible. I would go home just to sleep, and then start this toxic cycle again the next day. I lived in fear all my life which was the result of an oppressive religion and family cult. My parents used religion and family/relatives to guilt me into remaining in toxic relationships.

Home was not a loving place. Home was an unsafe space.

I was conditioned from a very young age to always do what I was told: how to behave, what to eat, who to speak or not speak to, how to dress, what to study, where to live.  None of this was the result of my own choices. But I knew there was more and that my life had more meaning. I know many of you reading can relate to this, and that is why you are here.

I spent over a decade, seeking the truth of life which I knew deep in my core was more than what I was being told to believe.  It is often said that ‘when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.’  And when I was ready, mine did. I was divinely led to my teacher Liana Shanti.

Through her programs, I started clearing my core wounds and began the journey back home to my higher self. When this happened, I had an inner knowing to change my name because I no longer aligned with the energy of my birth name which was associated with so much trauma and oppression. As I left behind my old self, I gifted myself the name Dharma Bodhi, which symbolized a spiritual rebirth for me.

I’ve worked for several years on my mind, body and soul to reach a point where I want to serve other men understand that there is a better way and there is no time to play small.  The only true currency we have is time, and with each passing moment, we are getting closer to our death. Life and death happen in the same breath. This makes it even more vital to live your life consciously in every moment. There is no set standard how to be a man, and whatever is normalized in society, culture, media and religion all teaches us toxic masculinity.

I am here to help you recognize that these issues we face are common amongst us no matter where we live in the world. What is right or wrong is for us to decide, not anyone else. As much as our education and family programs us otherwise, we are not here to please everyone that comes our way.

Each of us is unique and is here on our own soul journey on this beautiful Earth for a short amount of time. So why not live it in joy and peace while we are here? You must break all the chains that are holding you back. We are here to be the best version of ourselves and live our best lives, being happy, joyful and with inner peace. This is all attainable for everyone who is willing.

I invite you to book a complimentary 30-minute session with me to see how I can be in service to you.  I meet you exactly where you are on your journey. The goal is to clear and align the mind, body, and soul to a place where nothing is a barrier for you. Instead, you are an unstoppable vessel of the Divine. It’s time to wake up to your truth and write your own story.
