WELCOME TO SOUL BASED LIVING founded by Spanda in 2009

WHAT IS SOUL BASED LIVING (SBL)?

Founded by Spanda Makt

Awaken the Soul. Transform the Life. Serve the World.

Soul Based Living was founded by Spanda Makt in 2009 as a spiritual education and wellness organization dedicated to helping people develop a deeper relationship with consciousness, meditation, energy, and the Soul.

At the heart of Soul Based Living is a simple understanding: there is more to human life than the physical body and the personality. Within every person is a deeper dimension of awareness—the Soul—which can be cultivated through meditation, disciplined practice, conscious living, and service.

Our programs provide practical methods for exploring this deeper dimension while remaining grounded in everyday life.

Meditation Training

Meditation is not simply the practice of sitting quietly with one's eyes closed. It is a discipline for developing awareness.

Through meditation, students learn to become more conscious of their thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, energetic states, and the subtle dimensions of their own experience. With continued practice, meditation can become a way of living rather than something reserved for a particular time of day.

Soul Based Living offers meditation education for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, including Spanda Meditation, a system developed through the teachings of Spanda Makt that incorporates consciousness, energy, color, sound, breath, and the subtle energetic centers of the body.

The objective is not to escape life.

The objective is to become more conscious within it.

Energy Healing Training

Soul Based Living also provides structured education and training in Supreme Bright Light Healing Art, a healing modality founded by Spanda Makt.

Students are introduced to the principles of energetic awareness, intention, permission, receiving and transmitting healing energy, ethical practice, discernment, and the development of personal skill through repetition and experience.

Energy healing training is approached as a discipline requiring responsibility, humility, practice, and respect for the individual receiving the work.

Students are encouraged to develop their abilities progressively, beginning with foundational practices and advancing toward more sophisticated applications involving individuals, environments, and situations.

The purpose of training is not to create dependency upon a practitioner.

It is to develop greater awareness, responsibility, compassion, and the capacity to serve.

Education for a Soul-Based Life

Soul Based Living extends beyond meditation and healing techniques.

Our educational philosophy explores the relationship between consciousness and everyday life—including relationships, work, creativity, health and wellness, leadership, personal responsibility, and service.

We encourage students to ask deeper questions:

Who am I beneath my personality?
What is consciousness?
How does awareness affect the way I live?
What does it mean to live from the Soul rather than simply reacting to circumstances?

These questions are not merely philosophical. They become practical when applied to the way we think, speak, work, relate to others, and respond to the world.

Wellness Programs for Veterans and the Community

Soul Based Living's nonprofit wellness mission includes making meditation and other wellness practices available to veterans and members of the broader community.

Through our nonprofit wellness initiatives, we seek to provide accessible opportunities for meditation, mindfulness, relaxation, energy awareness, personal development, and other supportive wellness practices.

Our work with veterans recognizes the importance of creating environments where participants can explore practices that encourage greater self-awareness, relaxation, resilience, and connection.

We believe wellness education should not be limited to those who can easily afford private instruction.

Access to practices that support greater awareness and well-being should be available to the community.

Service Through Wellness

The nonprofit dimension of Soul Based Living reflects a central principle of the organization:

Knowledge becomes meaningful when it is used in service.

Our wellness programs are designed to bring contemplative and holistic practices into communities where they can be of practical benefit.

Programs may include:

• Meditation instruction

• Guided meditation

• Breath and relaxation practices

• Energy-awareness education

• Wellness workshops

• Spiritual and personal development education

• Community wellness programs

• Veteran-focused meditation and wellness initiatives

• Educational classes and training

• Group practice and community gatherings

• Meditation taught to children at school

Our programs continue to evolve according to the needs of the communities we serve.

A Path of Practice

Soul Based Living is not built around the idea that one class, one meditation, or one healing session will transform a person's life.

Transformation comes through practice.

Repetition develops familiarity.
Familiarity develops awareness.
Awareness develops discernment.
Discernment develops responsibility.
And responsibility allows consciousness to become embodied in daily life.

This is why Soul Based Living places importance on education, practice, community, and service.

Founded by Spanda Makt

Spanda Makt is the founder and principal teacher of Soul Based Living. His work brings together meditation, energy awareness, spiritual philosophy, consciousness studies, and practical approaches to personal development.

Through Soul Based Living, Spanda has developed educational programs intended to give students direct experience rather than merely intellectual information.

The teachings are designed to be practiced, examined, questioned, and integrated.

You do not have to believe everything.

You have to practice.

Experience.

Observe.

And discover what becomes true through your own consciousness.

Join the Work

Soul Based Living welcomes people from different backgrounds, levels of experience, and stages of their spiritual development.

Whether you are beginning a meditation practice, seeking professional training in energy healing, exploring consciousness, participating in a wellness program, or looking for a deeper understanding of your own Soul, our educational community offers opportunities for continued learning and practice.

Soul Based Living is an invitation to live with greater awareness—and to bring that awareness into service of yourself, your community, and the world.

Awaken the Soul.

Develop Consciousness.

Practice.

Serve.

Soul Based Living (SBL) is a philosophical and spiritual tradition founded by Spanda.

It centers on the path of Enlightenment and what happens after, thru the practice and development of love, wisdom, and unity.

SBL is multicultural, having aspects of Shamanism, Western Philosophy, Buddhism, and Yoga. 

Compassion, gratitude, and a regard for the interconnected nature of life are central to SBL.

The goal of Soul Based Living is in perfect alignment with the mission of the Universe,which is Love.
