CitiShakti
Beyond the story there is a field—
I’ll meet you there
You are brilliant, creative, and have moved through the world knowing there’s something more out there.
Yet despite all your seeking, something tender and unresolved remains, a layer that most healing work cannot quite touch.
This deepest layer is where our work begins.
Ara Khin is a somatic energy healer whose work operates at the level where the analytical mind cannot reach — in the body, subconscious, ancestral field, and the underlying energetic architecture of your system.
Her formation spans 20 years of serious meditation, 9 years of working with shamans and energy healers, and academic training at Harvard and Berkeley. But what distinguishes her is the path she didn’t choose: overcoming complex childhood trauma and a life-threatening chronic illness that conventional medicine said was incurable — and that she ultimately healed anyway. In shamanic traditions across cultures, this is recognized as the foundation of genuine healing capacity: the guide who knows the path because she has walked it.
She works with a small number of clients because the work demands full presence and cannot be scaled. Her gift is the ability to perceive the energetic field with unusual precision — to locate what is actually held there, to attune to the body’s own healing capacity, and to accompany you through the full arc of bringing your system back to wholeness.
Working at the living intersection of somatic attunement, shamanic energy healing, and Akashic field reading, she works with people who are ready to go to deeper with a guide who can genuinely meet them where they are.
What Is CitiShakti?
CitiShakti is a Sanskrit word for the union of consciousness and energy — the ecstatic, loving, radiant ground that underlies all of creation. Many traditions carry names for this same presence: Holy Spirit, Rigpa, Ruach Elohim, and the Great Mystery.
Most of us have touched it without knowing what it was. In a moment of profound beauty, or grief, or stillness — something opens. A sense of being held by something larger than yourself. A warmth that has no source. A knowing that arrives without thinking.
This work is about learning to find your way back to that ground—not just in peak moments, but as a living reality you can inhabit. Together, we attune to this field, clear what has accumulated in the body and the energy layers, receive what the ordinary mind cannot access, and allow the intelligence of your own deepest self to show you what needs to heal, and how.
Offerings
-
Somatic Energy Healing
Each session works at the layer beneath narrative — the body, the subconscious, the energetic architecture that holds what the mind alone cannot release. Through a combination of somatic attunement, shamanic energy clearing, and intuitive reading of what is actually present in your field, Ara accompanies you into a state of deep receptivity where genuine shifts can occur. Sessions are 90 minutes and are entirely responsive to what your system needs in that moment.
-
Guided Shamanic Journey
This is a two-hour journey into non-ordinary states — accessed through breath, sound, drumming, and sustained energetic attunement. The trance state that emerges is its own kind of lucidity: the analytical mind quiets, the body opens, and a deeper knowing becomes available. From this place, you may encounter ancestors, guides, or aspects of yourself that have been waiting for this kind of space. What surfaces is allowed to move, integrate, and resolve. You remain fully present throughout.
-
Transformative Coaching
For those navigating a spiritual opening, kundalini awakening, or the more disorienting edges of expanded perception. Sometimes what looks like crisis is actually a threshold — and what’s needed is not treatment but orientation. Ara can read your field, work with inherited spiritual agreements, clear energetic interference, and help you understand and develop your own gifts. This is slow, careful work that honors the intelligence already moving in your system. Integration is essential for any kind of deep work and recommended before and after healing sessions.
How a session feels
-
"Working with Ara is like being bathed in a warm light. She has a gentle very loving presence that allowed me to feel safe and move so much sadness and fear out of my body. I had this incredible vision of me in a past life where I was hunted for being a witch. She helped me process the fear and guided me gently back into my body. I was crying, shaking, laughing, and finally able to just let go of a deep sigh. Something profound changed and I'm still integrating the lessons that I experienced through the journey."

"Ara's presence is pure light. She guided me with such grace, compassion, and clarity that layers of old energy began to dissolve effortlessly. I feel open now, connected to my heart, and able to truly listen to its desires. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me come home to myself!"

"Ara has a true gift. My session with her revealed I was in the hands of an incredibly powerful healer and I felt the effects for a long time after the session. She helped me move density out of my body and open to a frequency allowing for more light to move in. I am very grateful to be able to work with her."

We usually start with some deep breaths and grounding exercises to help you feel safe. The container we create together is peaceful, protected, and sacred. I will lead you on a guided meditation to open up your chakras and channels to allow the divine energy to flow through you. I may sing or play some instruments to allow the sound to resonate through you and guide you in your journey. Your mind becomes calm, open, and deeply intuitive. Your rational mind takes a back seat and you begin to feel aware of your subconscious. You may feel guided by a loving presence you cannot describe but have felt sometimes call to you. You will be transported to another realm in a trance state. From there, you can listen to the messages of angels, ancestors, spirit guides, and your own intuitive wisdom. You may feel a lot of emotions and see deeply buried memories from this life or past lives. But all of this is shown to you in the most loving and safe way. Usually deep seated subconscious patterns are released through the body through coughing, shaking, burping, laughing, or crying. You may even feel bliss and a sense of universal love so profound that it leaves tears streaming down your eyes. Every session is different, intuitive, and divinely guided. The body, mind, and spirit are all involved and work together to transform you into a more peaceful, clear, strong, and creative version of yourself. You are healing yourself by remembering who you are. I am here simply here as a supportive guide, helping you find your way back home.
