Modern Mystic

Welcome to Modern Mystic, we focus on the 9 Senses and combine ancient wisdom with modern technology.

The 9 Senses:

The 9 Senses include the traditional five senses of taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound as well as emotion, thought, the subconscious, and super-conscious.

Through these 9 Senses, we experience the world and express ourselves in it, and this creates our own unique reality.

To support you on your journey, we explore various modalities and tools such as focus, awareness, resonance, letting go, meditation, open discussion, energy work, bodywork, and more.

Testimonials

Shizuko Naruse-Claassens

“I thoroughly enjoyed the deep relaxation session at Modern Mystic. A softened body more readily invites a softened mind and we need both to live and engage harmoniously. Ari’s non-judgmental, authentic and warm presence creates a safe environment where we can just be, allowing our authentic self to find its expression both inwardly and outwardly.” – Shizuko Naruse-Claassens

Claudia Klein – www.mindworksa.com:

The relaxation system that Ari has created is truly unique. I work in the field of relaxation, mindfulness, colour therapy, chakra balancing, etc for decades. Ari’s combination treatment transfers you into another world if you allow it – into your own inner world where then your senses get soothed and you can attain a calmness that otherwise often evades us.

Heidi Boon reviewed Modern Mystic — 5 star

If you have been wanting to go or wondering if you should go, I want to encourage you not to delay going, just do it! I had my first session today and there are no real words to describe how amazing the whole overall experience was. I constantly struggle with knots in my shoulders and just had the best massage ever! The music, temperature, lighting, and aroma are perfectly in sync to give you an unforgettable experience. Well done Ari, you will definitely see me back for more sessions 

Elrine Terblanche reviewed Modern Mystic — 5 star

As a massage therapist, I can honestly say that I had an awesome therapy session at #ModernMystic today. Finally, someone brought science and energy together. While seated in a massage chair that stimulates every aching muscle in the body from the feet, calves, hamstrings, glutes, back, neck, and arms all while your other senses, hearing, and vision are stimulated through sound and light frequency – complete relaxation.
They have different sessions for different needs and they tailor your session accordingly.
This is exactly what this bodybuilder needed to relax and get ready for her last week of prepping for the IFBB WP competition.

I can’t speak for Ari, but I was trepidatious. In fact, I was downright scared. Not of him – I trusted this relative stranger inherently. Scared of the process, of the unknown, of what might happen, of what might trigger something for me, of how I would deal with that. But while the fear was present, the open trust to be guided into a beautiful body-heart- sensuality experience was frikking exciting. 

… I had this image in my head of my own personal guide/god/universe/spirit. She looked like me and was laughing. A kind laugh, the laugh you laugh when someone you love deeply finally understands something important. I realised that she – the conglomerate of universe and god and source and spirit – was me. Looking down at myself as that amalgamation was a startlingly beautiful experience. Looking up and seeing her / me felt like an awakening- she is always there. She is always here. She is me. I cried – soft, releasing, healing, understanding tears. 

Matt James recommends Modern Mystic — 5 star

I highly recommend this, it’s great! This was a very new and interesting experience, I felt revived, energized and relaxed after only a half-hour session. The combination of light, colors, and nature imagery..sweet smell of incense oils, beautiful sounds, and music along with the whole body massage chair was unique and recharged my batteries. I will endeavor to build this into my lifestyle as a treat for all the hard work and stress. Thank you Modern Mystic for the session. I will be back!

We perceive the world through our senses, and this creates our reality. 

Our senses enable us to interact with and understand the world around us. They unconsciously collect, filter, and analyse information, which we then store, recall, reason about, and react to. The information that enters our consciousness shapes our internal and external experiences of the world, thus creating our reality. 

Here are the nine senses: 

1. Gustatory- Taste 

2. Olfactory – Smell 

3. Tactile – Touch 

4. Auditory – Sound 

5. Visual – Sight 

6. Emotional – Feeling 

7. Mental – Thinking 

8. Subconscious – Belief systems and internal programs 

9. Superconscious – Knowing or Universal Connection 

We are not our senses. 

Our senses serve as tools that allow us to gather information from our internal and external environments. However, we often mistakenly identify ourselves with our senses, assuming that their use equates to our consciousness. Despite our tendency to define, experience, and express ourselves through our senses unconsciously, we are more than just our senses. As our true selves are separate from our senses, we can observe them, allowing us to examine them consciously with greater objectivity. This observation enables us to redefine ourselves, express ourselves in new ways, and react differently to situations. 

Sensory input can only be experienced in real-time, which means that awareness of our senses always brings us into the present moment. Traditionally, we limit our understanding to our five physical senses. However, we propose expanding this understanding to include thought, emotion, the subconscious, and the superconscious as fundamental senses as well, bringing the total to 9 senses. 

These additional senses provide us with even more subjective and objective information, allowing us to broaden our perspective of the world. We can objectively observe and examine our emotions, thoughts, subconscious programming, and superconscious connection, enabling us to rise above them. We can now take control of them instead of being controlled by them. 

The 9 Sense Activation is a guided meditation designed to help us explore and develop all our own senses, and to use them in our daily life. 

Focus and Awareness 

“Where attention goes, energy flows.” 

Awareness is an unbiased, open state of mind. Initially, we expand our awareness to encompass the entire scene or the big picture, allowing all the information from a specific sense to flow into us without discrimination, judgment, or labeling.  

From this state, we can choose to direct our attention to a specific object, using our senses to focus in on it. If something draws our attention, we turn our focus to it and note all of its details. We can zoom in on every little detail, noticing more and finer details as we do. Then, we can observe how all these fine details constitute the object as a whole. We can also shift our awareness to all the other nine senses and notice if there is any additional information about the object that we can perceive. 

Afterwards, we allow our attention to expand back into open awareness and repeat the process. This cycle of focusing and expanding our attention helps us to fully engage with our surroundings. 

It’s important to understand that focus and awareness play a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with the world. By directing our attention, we can guide the flow of energy and enhance our perception, and even influence or change our perspective on life. 

Notice, Acknowledge, Engage-Let Be-Let Go 

If anything draws your attention in the focus-awareness state described above, simply notice it, acknowledge it, and then choose to engage with it, or to let it be, or just to let it go. 

We often strongly identify with our thoughts and emotions, saying things like “I am sad” instead of “I feel sad”. However, when we start to view emotions, thoughts, and the sub- and superconscious as senses, it becomes particularly important not to personally identify with these sensations but to observe them objectively. This shift in perception empowers us to choose how we respond to the information they provide. It allows us to engage with certain sensations, learn from them, adapt, and evolve, or simply let them be, or let them go if they don’t serve us. This approach empowers us to take control of our responses to all experiences, both positive and negative.
