Readings, Mentoring, Counseling & More

There are three major Lights of Self-Knowledge which comprise The Vedic Vision™ of Dean Dayalu. They are: Jyotisha, Psychology, and Vedanta. Each of these Lights, in turn, are comprised of constituent disciplines, tools, and techniques which provide specialized offerings of their own. During your regular sessions, you will likely explore a variety of these—carefully chosen by Dean to meet the goals and challenges of your unique circumstance. However, the particular benefits of a select offering may spark your interest, and be explored independently. Choosing one of these offerings may also be the best way for new clients to begin exploring the possibility of living a life of wholeness, happiness, and freedom.

Jyotisha - Three Lights

Jyotisha: Select Offerings

Natal Reading (Your Life Horoscope)

A natal reading with Dean will provide you with a comprehensive look at your life in terms of individual psychology, family patterns, relationship dynamics, children, career, education, finances, spirituality, and more. You will explore your strengths, gifts, and talents—as well as your challenges and obstacles. Dean will dive deeply into the current aspects of your timeline, as they relate to particular dimensions of your chart.

Although this offering is designed as a general, comprehensive first session for new clients, you can select a particular focus for the reading. In subsequent sessions, clients often have many questions and topics that they’d like to explore in greater detail. You may want to delve deeper into one area of your life, work on life goals, or work through challenges that were revealed in the reading.

“The natal chart is a dynamic archetypical mandala of one’s individuality unfolding. It is a map to be followed and reflected on toward the actualization of one’s potential.”

Synastry (Relationship Compatibility)

Synastry is used by Dean to bring foresight into a new relationship, or insight into an existing relationship. Either way, the goal is the same: a growing, emotionally mature, fulfilling relationship.

With Synastry, relationship compatibility is examined by the use of two or more individual horoscopes. Compatibility is assessed by using stellar and planetary patterns, with the vision of bringing greater harmony, insight and understanding to relationship dynamics.

Romantic & Marital Relationships: Relationship compatibility analysis is designed to assess interaction patterns, intimacy dynamics, and the strengths and challenges each partner brings to the union. Dean will help you gain insight into past relationship patterns, what is currently happening, and offer guidance for the future. These sessions address the psychodynamics of relationship, as well as practical issues of everyday living. Each individual’s relationship history and patterns are addressed in the process of understanding relational dynamics and compatibility.

Familial Relationships: Relationship astrology can be employed for relationships between a parent and a child. Dean can examine family dynamics by looking at the horoscopes of all family members, in order to help guide a family through challenging times, offer insight into past-and-current dynamics, and give guidance for the future. In addition, Jyotisha can give youth, adolescents, and young adults a tool for seeing a broader horizon. This is a perfect opportunity to expand, deepen and clarify life issues during transition into adulthood.

Professional Relationships: Dean employees this methodology when examining the relationships between co-workers and teams of people. He also works with business owners to better understand themselves and their relationships with employees, as well as the dynamics between business partners or potential business partners.

Muhurta (for Timing Life Events)

Muhurta is a technique to determine the most auspicious or most productive time to start a project or plan an event. It is the limb of Jyotisha that Dean uses to find the most supportive time and date to embark upon a new endeavor. Muhurtas are used for the commencement of a business, travel, buying property or a new home, and for religious or other celebrations. Muhurtas are very commonly used to choose a marriage date.

Praṣhṇa (for Specific Life Questions)

Praṣhṇa is a technique that uses Vedic Astrology principles and sky patterns to explore the outcome of a specific question. These questions can relate to such things as career change, buying a house, starting or selling a business, travel and more. Prashna consultations focus on a specific question. For example: “Should I travel to Africa?” or “Should I buy the land?”

Vedanta - Three Lights

Vedanta: Select Offerings

People have an inborn desire for wholeness, happiness and freedom. Throughout one’s life, there are mental and emotional experiences that remain a mystery, and may be difficult to explain or integrate. There is a search for a greater wisdom beyond the mental and emotional capacities of one’s psychological and rational self. That is the subject of Vedanta.

Dean leads process-groups that focus on how we can use the “Wisdom of Vedanta” to enhance and guide us through our everyday lives.

Self-acceptance and personal vision
Living your Values: Vedanta in everyday life

Dean also does one-on-one teaching of: “The Principles of Vedanta for Everyday Life.” You will be introduced to the three-fold meditative process of Vedanta and much more:

Śravaṇa (listening): Listening to a specific verse from Vedantic texts that speak in a way that may inspire you.
Manana (Reflection): Systematic reflection and questioning as to its meaning.
Nididhyāsana (Contemplative meditation): Through nididhyāsana, the Self-knowledge gained through śravaṇa and manana enters your heart and becomes alive in your life. Word, meaning, and action are united.

“The expression of my life is just the expression of my well-assimilated value structure. What I do is but an expression of what is valuable to me.”

Why seek counseling?

Everyone wants happiness and wants to avoid or minimize unhappiness. To be happy and free is the natural state we all long to inhabit. But when we become a problem to ourselves, we limit the resources available for dealing with everyday challenges. We may lack the time, energy, or inner space to even see and understand what is happening. Not having a clear view of our Self is the challenge.

Through counseling with Dean Dayalu, you can heal, enliven, enhance, and bring increased harmony and equanimity to your life. You can express yourself more fully and creatively. You can come to know the mental and emotional mechanisms for discovering freedom and happiness. Then, you can live a life that expresses your deepest longings, healthy desires, and creative talents—a life inspired by inner wisdom and our true nature.

Dean will work with you on the process of personal enquiry, which leads to:

Freedom from self-limiting patterns of thought
Freedom from non-adaptive patterns of behavior
Freedom from emotional reactions rooted in past memories and experiences
Freedom from sensory and bodily patterns that bind our daily psycho-emotional experience

With this freedom, authentic self-acceptance emerges. Self-acceptance means:

Understanding and abiding in our uniqueness, vulnerability, strengths, limitations, and personal dignity
Cultivating equanimity of both mind and body in the face of life’s challenges and triumphs
Being no different than who we are. Nothing new is introduced, but obstacles are removed.
