Musican - Yoga Teacher - Psychologist
“Therefore, when indifference disappears while listening to the sound of a sweet song or smelling sandalwood etc., then there arises in the heart the state of vibration (spandamanata). Such a state is termed Anandaśakti
(the Power of bliss), thanks to which man becomes sensitive (sahrdaya).”
Tantrāloka (III, 209b-210)by Abhinavagupta
Bio
Michał Czarnecki, born in Głogów, living in Poznań. From an early age he was interested in sounds and nature. Due to the guitar at home, he learned to play it and fell in love with it, later also transferring his love to other instruments.
Interest in sound was also related to the exploration of the psyche. Intensive search for burning existential questions, as a result of which his path led him through the profession of psychologist, coach and yoga teacher, which he still deepen and loves to do.
My approach
In my work I try to connect the conscious with the unconscious, materialize ideas from the level of creative thought. Despite my psychological education and musical background, I try to approach each person/project in a fresh and intuitive way.
When working with people, I focus on authenticity, following the process and using the rich methodology of Indian and Jungian psychology.
In music I work through experimentation, apart from the guitar I also use instruments such as Sitar, Saz, Zither, Baritones, Tibetan Bowls, Effects, Samplers and Synthesizers.

the path of self-Realization
For us, humans, we need self-development to feel satisfied with life. By this I mean not constantly chasing new goals and outdoing yourself. Sometimes growth comes not by “doing” but by “recognizing”. Goal setting is important but it must be done at your own time. Pulling looks like fertilizing the plant with steroids that artificially stimulate growth - complications can easily arise. The Jungian and Indian approaches also focus on effective growth but taking care of the processes that are currently present in our lives.
Through a rich set of techniques and recommendations, we can explore our inner world. The Jungian paradigm, as well as that of Eastern psychology, is aimed at the development of the individual, discovering what is hidden, and expanding consciousness. It works through symbols, archetypes, art and meditative imagination, that help you understand and integrate or modify your mental patterns to create space for the new.
