Rice Reading® Consultation

A Rice Reading^® Consultation is an evaluation tool used by Amarananda Bhairavan, in the tradition of the adepts of ancient Deep Soul Healing^® and Oti Vidya practices, to determine a client’s current energetic state and what imbalances or blocks may exist. The Rice Reading^® session is the first step in helping remove the imbedded patterns or blocks that prevent the experience of a joyful, powerful and fulfilling life.

During the Rice Reading^® Consultation, Amarananda Bhairavan uses ritually energized rice cast onto special yantras* which reveal past, present and future tendencies of the individual. Based on this reading, remedies may be recommended to rectify any blocks or imbalances that have been revealed.

Custom Herbal Oils can also be formulated to assist with healing. For more information and ordering instructions see below.

A Rice Reading^® can be done in person or over the phone. The benefits of a phone consultation are identical to a face-to-face session.

A Rice Reading Consultation lasts 45 minutes and consists of the reading, question and answer session, and recommendations such as pujas and rituals for specific imbalances seen during this consultation. The consultation will take up the entire 45 minutes and pujas and rituals are to be scheduled separately. The cost is $108.

NOTE: Often people have specific dreams, experiences and questions during the weeks following their rice readings. To explain these experiences and to answer any questions, you may schedule a 15-minute question and answer phone session with Bhairavan. In order to maximize your time, please have a written list of questions ready. These fifteen-minute sessions do not entail any new readings – they are only for answering your questions pertaining to a prior rice reading (or ritual). If you have an extensive list of questions, dreams or experiences that may require more than 15 minutes, you may schedule two sessions back-to-back. The cost is $35 for 15 minutes.

There is also a six-hour Rice Reading^® available that includes extensive clearing and healing.

During this six-hour Rice Reading^®, Bhairavan provides not only an evaluation of all the levels of each chakra but offers immediate intervention as blockages and abnormalities are discovered. These interventions root out the blocks on the deepest level so that they can not take hold or grow again. Specific practices will be recommended that will stabilize and maintain the benefits. The rice is cast several times during the session.

The six-hour Rice Reading^® is performed in person. Inquiries can be directed to The cost is $1008.

Herbal Oils

For thousands of years, botanical essential oils have been used to treat maladies of the body, mind and spirit. When formulated by ancient herbal energy medicinal traditions, these essences can effectively counter very specific physical and energetic maladies.

Amarananda Bhairavan follows a system of herbal energy medicine based on the ancient Aghora Rahasyam manuscript to compound custom formulations that he uses in his healing work with clients.

The best time to request a specific formulation is when you schedule your initial Rice Reading Consultation. Since Bhairavan makes these formulations from scratch, this lead-time is important. Instructions for the specific use of the oil will be given during the rice reading.
