In gratitude to my Reiki Master, Mr. Akhilesh — whose teachings became more than a practice, and shaped a lifelong relationship with transformation.
In 1995, I met Akhil Sir and was introduced to Reiki. I could not have known then that this meeting would quietly shape the trajectory of my life.
I have never found a Reiki Master quite like him — except, perhaps, Archana Ma’am, who has been my heartbeat. If Akhil Sir transformed my soul, she has held my heart.
What began as an introduction to Reiki became something far deeper: a relationship with transformation, awareness and the cosmic rhythm within us and around us.
Akhil Sir is a man of growth and transformation — for himself and for those around him.
What he gave me was not merely a technique or a modality, but Reiki in its true essence: a relationship with the cosmic rhythm within us and around us.
He taught its ethics as deeply as its practice — kindness, transparency, forgiveness, responsibility and the grace to move forward without carrying bitterness.
Those values became so intrinsic to the way I live that, at times, I could not understand why people found them surprising. To me, being kind, transparent, forgiving and moving on with grace felt simply natural.

Looking back, I realise how blessed I have been. Life brought its share of challenges and deep experiences, yet so many of them left no lasting trace — only learning, transformation and continued growth. The trust in the cosmic rhythm became an anchor through life's highs and lows. Today, I recognise how profoundly that foundation has shaped the person and practitioner I have become.
Whatever I create through iiNFiNiTE Wellness carries something of the people who shaped my journey. The foundation belongs to my parents, to Akhil Sir, and to Neetu Balani, who introduced me to Reiki and to him. Akhil Sir has remained instrumental through every chapter — present in the highs and the lows, and a constant reminder of what truly matters.
“The greatest tribute I can offer my Master is not simply to speak about what he taught me, but to live it — to honour the essence, keep transforming, and pass forward what was given to me.”Thank you, Akhil Sir.
