Aruna Shields (Nāgappa)

Nāga Sage, Hypno-Psychotherapist & Meditation Expert (CHP, CMT)

The Shift

Aruna Shields is a Seer of Reality who translates primordial silence into a tool for human evolution. A former cinema lead, she vanished from the film industry in 2011 to enter a decade of intensive inner study.

Ancestry

Born ‘Aruna Lakkur Nāgappa Srinivasa Murthy’, she descends from a lineage of sages dating back to 3143 B.C.E. Her heritage is defined by a distinct connection with serpents—guardians of primordial stillness, transformation and the preservation of wisdom that transcends the material world. Aruna does not fit into a single box or religion. Her path is Polytheistic— it recognizes and honors the many faces of the Divine.

The Feral Beginnings

Long before the red carpet, Aruna was a feral child on a farm in Northumberland, England. She spent her formative years communicating with animals, digging ponds, and existing in a state of primal observation. Half English, Half Indian, she spent her development between both the UK and India.

The Mastery of Maya

A fearless performer, Aruna earned a distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and studied at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. After winning Miss India Talent UK for a powerful dance performance, she was spotted by an acting agent, launching a cinematic career that spanned the UK, French, and Indian film industries.

Lead: ‘Aki’ in AO The Last Hunter

Critically acclaimed feature film leads include Maya in Prince (India’s version of Bond), Aki in AO: The Last Hunter (produced by French studio UGC), and Nera in the arthouse film Mr. Singh and Mrs. Mehta. Aruna is also widely known for "Tere Liye," a song with over 400 million views.

In 2010, she was recognized as a Google Zeitgeist "fastest-rising star"—a peak of external recognition that preceded her deliberate descent into stillness and study of the mind. She became qualified in Psychotherapy, Hypnosis, and Mindfulness, running private practices in California and London. During the global lockdown, she pioneered the first online meditation group for Sidhas (highly advanced meditators) worldwide.

The Laws of Metamorphosis

I. The Primacy of Consciousness "The universe is woven together from threads of consciousness, and consciousness is all there is. The perspective of oneness and unity unveils the truth about reality."

II. Sovereignty of All Beings "There is no hierarchy in consciousness. The human nervous system is not 'superior' to other beings; animals and plants are simply tuned to different frequencies. Because they do not possess the 'masking' behavior of humans, they remain closer to the Primordial Truth—acting as anchors for the human soul to prevent it from drifting into the abstractions of the mind."

III. The Alchemy of the Soul "We possess the innate capacity for shedding the past, metamorphosis, transformation, and renewal. This occurs spontaneously with the expansion of consciousness. We are eternal beings; we do not die. We have the capacity to alchemically transmute all suffering into expanded states of awareness."

IV. The Path of Non-Effort "Effortless meditation and absorption in stillness naturally lead to conscious expansion and is a catalyst for change. Everyone can meditate when they stop focusing, trying, and fighting with what is occurring. Letting go of effort and pushing is the key to transcending and moving beyond the limited thinking and concepts of the relative world. Thoughts are not facts and thoughts aren't 'yours,' so you can stop trying to identify with them or 'fix' them."

V. The Spider’s Web: Universal Interconnection "When we heal ourselves, we heal the world, for we do not know where one person begins and another ends. We do not know the role we play in each other's lives, but it is a divine and valuable one. Our thoughts and emotions do not belong solely to us; we are a collective. For those who feel they are 'aliens' and the world is cruel, your sensitivity and existence are a Collective Service for the evolution of humanity. Our insights and growth are shared throughout the whole system. We are stronger when we are in a state of curiosity and gratitude, and when we unite together rather than divide. Whatever experience is brought to us is a gift from beyond.
