Aruna Shields is a sage, therapist, and artist whose work spans the depths of clinical practice, ancient mysticism, and creative expression.
Cinema & ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
Aruna trained extensively in the arts, earning a distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and graduating from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
Notable work includes winning Miss India Talent UK with a unique veil dance, alongside critically acclaimed cinema leads in action, thriller Prince (Indias version of Bond), epic adventure AO: The Last Hunter, and independent feature Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta. She is also widely recognized for the hit song Tere Liye.
Awakening & Transformation
In 2011, following a transformative spiritual awakening and an undeniable call toward silence, Aruna stepped away from a successful career as a lead actress for a decade of intensive inner study, clinical training, and advanced meditation. During the Covid-19 lockdown, she pioneered the first online groups for TM Sidhas worldwide.
Ancient Lineage
Aruna Lakkur Nāgappa Srinivasa Murthy (known as Aruna Shields) descends from a documented lineage of Vedic sages dating back to 3143 B.C.E. This ancestral line holds an ancient connection to Serpent Traditions and a Secret Snake Society, rooted in a deep reverence for all living beings. Born of dual British and Indian heritage, she serves as a vital bridge between East and West, the ancient and the contemporary.
contemporary practice
Today, this rare intersection of clinical mastery, high-profile exposure, and ancestral grounding informs her contemporary practice. Operating with strict discretion, Aruna acts as a foundational anchor for a distinct global clientele: public figures navigating the intense pressures of visibility; corporate executives balancing high-stakes leadership and systemic burnout; and spiritually advanced individuals integrating profound awakenings and complex psychological landscapes.
Freedom & LIBERATION
Wisdom cannot exist in rigid boxes. True psychological agility requires the capacity to navigate the entire human spectrum—from the profound to the absurd. Aruna’s enjoyment of contemporary art, directing, alternative comedy, and her reverence for snakes serve as inspiration for her therapeutic work.
By actively living at the intersection of these seemingly disparate worlds, she embodies a rare elasticity of mind that allows her to recognize and decode the complex matrices and characteristics within others. This unique lens helps clients dismantle the artificial boundaries of their own professional and personal conditioning, guiding them to reconcile the contradictory parts of their lives, collapse internal friction, and unlock an enduring, fully integrated sense of inner sovereignty.
