INTERVIEW NOTES 

Segment 1: Ekatarina talks about her beginnings in Tibetan studies - Phowa “Dying in Consciousness” When you die, you are knowing and you can control the process. 

• Non buddhist parents did not approve, they were scared of what was going to happen! 
• Made her pause for 12 years, went to St. Petersburg University - Was overcome by doubt and insecurity, manifested as physical illness 
• She realized after awhile that she was a “highly sensitive person” - “If i don’t change my life now, I could die this week, anything could happen to me” 
• And then there was a reconnection with Tibetan studies and Tibetan medicine 
• But she only wanted to be a patient, not to learn the language or medicine 
• Her doctor changed her mind and made her an ardent student of Tibetan medicine 
• Stephane Mallarme “"much of Mallarmé's work influenced the conception of hypertext, with his purposeful use of blank space and careful placement of words on the page, allowing multiple non-linear readings of the text.” 
• His last work, “The Book” was never finished, more of a concept. Blank pages, you discover the truth through your one self. - He never finished, but it affected her because she realized you cannot find absolute truth through relative things like languages. 

Segment 2: Ekaterina discusses her career in academia and Tibetan medicine. 

• Bumped into the right person at the right moment, who reintroduced her to the teaching. 
• Became a translator at the academy for years
• Met her husband when she was about to start her Tibetan medicine career and they moved to London...another pause 
• She had to start over again and started something new. Started teaching accents, first in a college setting, then onto actors and actresses to be more believable in film/TV. 
• Next step was moving on to the voice 
• Then onto the school and teachings of Yantra yoga 
• Anyone who is interested can find classes and teachings online
