About Us and Our Clients


Founder of Citi-Zen:    Andy Sinnott

My journey with meditation and inner work began consciously when I was 12 where I found myself deeply disturbed by people´s levels of stress, dissatisfaction and suffering on an individual level and socially. I experienced a natural heart awakening and non-dual awareness where I felt my self to be the same self in every heart. Within the hearts of all people I became aware of the suffering of unwisdom. I wanted to do something to help us find a way to happiness and so one day after this I sat for the first time to meditate. I observed my breathing for several minutes and then experienced what was like a bubble of intense joy ascend my spine and explode in my brain. As a result of this experience I began to meditate and study Buddhism and Taoism, then Raja Yoga and Qi-Gong. When I was 14 people began to ask me for advice and help with problems they were concerned about and so I began to teach meditation and provide individual ways of solving problems.

I then continued to studied Christianity, Vedanta, Tantra, Transpersonal Psychology, Stress-management, Inner-child healing, Re-birthing and Holotropic breath work, Qi-gong therapy, Usui and Tibetan Reiki, Kriya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Laya Yoga, Theosophy, Mantra and Sanskrit and all mehtods relating to the psychology of unfolding love.  I was primarily interested in learning the truths in diverse spiritual systems and And as I developed my practices I continued to teach others. I would recognise the influence of Christ, Buddha, The Divine Mother and certain Vedantists such as Ramana Maharshi, Sri Aurobindo, Babaji and the Siddha Nath lineage as my teachers. 

Also studying fine art at bachelor and philosophy and education at masters. I worked for around three years as a care assistant with braindamaged, severely handicaped and elderly people, and for several years as an English Language Teacher in German colleges, Kindergatens and Primary schools. I have also worked as Art Director in Transpersonal Psychology and as a Fine Artist in Painting and Sculpture. 

As a result of the desire to help others find true happiness, and the spiritual practices I had undertaken since 12 years old, I experienced an awakening of my Kundalini when I was 28. The awakening happened through intense meditation on Jnana (wisdom) Yoga with the desire to cognise the soul and its context in suffering in order to see the solution. It was the former resolution now ripe with experience. This awakening gave me direct perception of the non-dual nature of the Soul and its threefold equpiment of willing, consciousness and intelligence and how they opperate the cuasality of incarnation.  The awakening directly enhanced my ability to do energetic work and transpersonal counselling. I also received authorisation from Ananda Ashram to teach certain Kriya Yoga techniques, despite having already entered various levels of samadhi previously. 

The development of the Citi-Zen Conflict Resolution technology emerged though many years practice, realisation and of living in city spaces, working in diverse fields and fusing methods similar to Buddhist Tong Len and Vedantic non-dual Soul Meditation, etc, to create a unique discipline through which to practice and expereince the resolution of conflict at a causal level. 

The Citi-Zen Stress-Management technology emerged through similar contexts and was very much the combination of direct spiritual perception of causal structures and living transpersonal psychology held within the contexts of modern stress over a period of years. Through this alignment a realisation and practice manifested through the grace of the Divine Mother which I have called  ¨Violet Diamond Practices¨.

The School of Love Awareness has developed over the last 26 years, beginning with the experiences when I was 12. Through all the other spiritual practices in combination with studying an M.A. in Education and working as an English Language Teacher in German Colleges, Kindergartens and Primary Schools I devoped a system of Education for children and adults based on a real epistemological consideration, an Ontology and cosmology of mankind as Soul and Spirit, not just body and mind. Ultimately education in terms of education, and not in terms of people as commercial values for a commercial market place. The school of Love Awareness becomes more possible as society becomes more co-oporative and less competitive. In other words, real education and its joys, become possible as we learn to put people before profit. At present the syllabus is available as an on-line course for adults and The first book presentation is being edited. Funders are welcomed in order to establish the school as a fact in physical life. 

For 23 years I have regularly worked with diverse people all from over the world with various issues. During this time of extensive experience I developed what is now the Citi-Zen system of causal stress-management and conflict resolution. The central practices of this system are specific causal techniques which transform stress and conflict at their core. It is my joy to be able to offer this solution.
