Kambiz Naficy's Joy of Life
Kambiz Naficy (MBA, MIA, MFA) is a meditation master who teaches the art of joyful and stress free living through deep relaxation, energetic breathing, hypnotherapy and meditation. Kambiz Naficy holds multiple masters degrees from Iran Center for Management Studies - International Affiliate of the Harvard Business School (1976) and Columbia Universities (1980) as well as the New School for Social Research, New York (1999). He is also a published Persian poet.
Kambiz Naficy is a yogi who after a highly successful top management career turned to Transcendental Meditation TM at Maharishi International University at Fairfield, Iowa. He has also studied and trained under noted Indian scholars and Yogic masters during several stays in India. After deep study of ancient Indian scriptures and meditation practice he found striking parallels between the state of super consciousness in human beings and atomic theory.
After a twenty-three year absence from his native country of Iran, Kambiz Naficy returned and founded a wellness and stress management center in Iran named The Joy of Life. Kambiz has been teaching meditation, stress management, and a series of empowering corporate management seminars in the U.S, Europe, South Asia and West Asia during the past 15 years. His spiritual articles have been widely published and may be accessed by searching the web for his name.
Join me and Kambiz in a transcendental conversation on joy, being, and meditation. Here are some questions I will ask:
1. Kambiz, please give a little of your academic and professional background.
2. It appears that your highly successful career in advancing, expanding, and integrating business systems nurtured the desire to serve mankind. Is this true? Was it always apparent that you used intuition to foster success in the corporate world?
4. Which observation sparked your interest in stress management: The fact that the business world was stressful for you; The fact that our business world thrives on and encourages stress to maintain a competitive edge, or both (above)?
5. Was there a specific experience or pivotal moment, prompting a change in life pursuit?
Did you begin researching spirituality or metaphysics after leaving your corporate career, or had you been studying these subjects all along?
6. Your site expresses while learning Indian scriptures and meditation practice that you found striking parallels between the state of super consciousness in human beings and atomic theory. Could you explain that please?
7. Acts of violence and terrorism are global traditions programmed in human nature as the way we react those experiences, which are difficult to integrate. I feel, when we use the power of word and thought through meditation, we transcend these limitations through emotional intelligence. Do you agree and if so, how and why does that work?
8. You have founded various centers. How do you go about picking a good location with an environment, which is naturally conducive for spiritual enlightment. How do you show others how to create a space, which feels neutral and safe so that one can surrender to the power of meditation, while in that space?
9. Subtlety is a quality found in some specific types of interaction. Why is subtlely enhance one's ability to influence the world around him?
10. Which is in your opinion more potent: thought, written word, spoken word, or action? In terms of meditation and the philosophy of meditation what is difference between thought, written word, spoken word, and action?
11.Words wiritten in a journal can be transformatiive by helping the author self-actualize, lyrical verse can be used to enchant or evoke magnetism stored in bthe sylables or letters when spoken or pronounced what are the ways use poetry to help others heal, Kambiz? What makes the mantrum a tool for transcendence?
12. What correlation(s) have you discovered between consistent, disciplined meditation and the ability to take action (in life, in general)?
13. Traditional prayer implies creating a change by cause and effect, that is to say, you pray from something and then it happens. How does meditation work?
14. Religion establishes that prayer without faith may be ineffective. What kinds of qualities within a person make meditation more effective?
15. Do you have a private one-on-one practice or do you work with more in groups in conjunction with other practitioners or both? Are you currently taking on personal clients? Do you consult over the phone?
16. How do people discover your workshops in order to participate?
