Eish Shaok

Practice

Eish Shaok is an ancient spiritual path, born from the desire to know oneself and to explore the deepest mysteries of the Universe. In ancient times, each pilgrim was guided on an inner journey of discovery and awareness through the study of six disciplines, known as the “Six Streams”: Astral Travel, Past-Life Recall, Healing, Protection, Centering, and Union with the Natural Elements. These paths represent the vital currents of our being and help us come to know every dimension of ourselves — body, heart, mind, spirit, and soul.

In each meeting, we explore these themes through guided meditations and traditional practices, accompanying every participant on their personal path of growth and awakening. In this way, profound transformations take shape and find practical expression in everyday life.

Some of the results of this work include:

  • A calmer mind, a harmonious and vital body, and an open heart.
  • An awakened spirit, grounded in a state of deep balance and presence.
  • Release from fears and anxieties, with a growing sense of inner peace.
  • The expression of great unconscious potentials.
  • Recall of past lives.
  • Reconnection with the deeper meaning of one’s life path.

In the Tradition of Eish Shaok, there are no activations or channel openings to “advance levels”: outer change reflects and arises solely from inner maturation.
The degrees, as in every ancient path, ensure that those with greater experience approach teaching at the appropriate time, accompanying and supporting those who have begun their journey more recently.

Eish Shaok is an ancient spiritual school dedicated to all those who feel confined within the limits of their world and seek the meaning of this long journey on planet Earth. It is a place where the achievements you have accumulated so far, or the person you believed yourself to be, truly matter very little. Here, you enter a sacred space where you learn to place at the center your abilities, your desire to broaden your perspective, and your longing to express yourself without limits—going beyond doubt and suffering. Day after day, you are offered an opportunity, something rare and precious.

You will be able to go deep within, observe the quality of your inner world, and… come to understand your part in all of this—your role within the great mechanism of Existence.

From her very first class, she fell in love with the path and recognized it as the right way for her. Following the impulse of change, she moved to Australia, but after a year she clearly felt her heart calling her back to Italy, in order to devote herself fully to this path.

Origins

The origins of Eish Shaok and the history connected to its teachings are lost in the depths of time and in the words of a long oral tradition. To date, the most likely historical period in which its roots and fragments can be traced seems to span from 1000 BCE to 300 CE.

Tradition tells of the arrival of a Master known as Simurgh, who gathered around himself seven other Masters, called the Haidehoi (possibly from the ancient Persian Hadi, meaning “guide”), coming from different temples, schools, and traditions. With them, he shared the pillars of this new path. The name of our mythical founder, of Avestan–Sanskrit origin, later became widely known through the 13th-century Persian poem The Conference of the Birds by Farid al-Din ‘Attar.

As for the name of the path itself, the historical etymology of the word “Eish” is linked to the Hebrew ish (איש), which literally means “man.” “Shaok,” on the other hand, finds its roots in the Sanskrit ashoka (अशोक), meaning “without suffering,” or in the Armenian term ashok, priest-bard.

It is important to note that all the teachings, inner work practices, and ceremonies of the Eish Shaok tradition can be found scattered across all continents and historical eras, yet they make a strong and distinctive reference to contact with an “elsewhere”—a realm that remains the primary source and guiding force of all human seeking.

The path, together with its schools, became publicly known in the West in 2008.
