In an era of rapid transformation, Dr. Xian Prem—Transformational Empowerment Coach, mystic, and Founder of the Stargate Institute—stands at the intersection of science and spirit. Through her pioneering Stargate Teachings, she bridges Western psychology with ancient Eastern wisdom, guiding seekers to awaken and return to their radiant, sovereign essence. At the core of her work is the integration of body, mind, and spirit, uniting cosmic consciousness with grounded purpose. From Stargate Coaching™ Certification to Infinite Breath Mentorship, Dr. Prem’s programs invite participants to embody higher awareness while thriving fully in human form. In this exclusive conversation with Mystic Mag, Dr. Prem shares her journey from scholar to mystic, the inspiration behind Stargate Institute, and her vision of a world where awakening is not an escape—but a profound return to the wholeness of being.
Your teachings often blend East-West psychology with deep mysticism. How do you integrate the academic rigor of a Ph.D. in Psychology with the intuitive and experiential realms of kundalini awakening and silence retreats?
“My doctoral work trained me to think analytically,” Dr. Prem explains, “but living in India attending to silent retreats and Kundalini awakening taught me to live the ancient teachings experientially.”
Her work bridges these two modes of knowing. In private mentoring and group trainings, she guides participants to explore consciousness as both a psychological process and a sacred unfolding — using movement, breath, expressive arts, dream study, and awareness to integrate higher states of being into embodied life.
How do you define ‘Soul Essence’ in psychological and spiritual terms? And what are the signs that someone is beginning to awaken to it?
In both psychological and spiritual language, Soul Essence refers to the pure presence underlying personality and conditioning. When people begin awakening to it, they often report subtle shifts: heightened intuition, synchronicities, deep compassion, or an unshakable sense of peace amid uncertainty. “It’s the moment the Self remembers itself through the human,” she notes. “And beyond the soul there is mere awareness as the cosmos expresses itself.”
What type of services do you offer?
Through her Stargate Institute, Dr. Prem offers:
- Stargate Coaching Certification (for all genders): professional training that fuses transpersonal psychology with energy and embodiment practices.
- Stargate Sister Membership: a sacred community for women cultivating radiance and heart-based leadership.
- Private Mentorship and Retreats: for integrating awakening, feminine leadership, and stepping into the empowerment of creating one’s legacy..
In your view, how can trauma become a portal to awakening rather than a wound that defines us? Are there particular Sacred Rhythms that aid most in this alchemical process?
Rather than a wound that defines us, trauma can become a portal into expanded consciousness. Within the Stargate Teachings™ in 7 Sacred Rhythms, grounding into the body and the connecting into the heart help transmute pain into wisdom. “When we meet pain with awareness instead of resistance,” she says, “the very energy that once fragmented us becomes the light that reunites us.”
In what ways do you see embodiment as a spiritual practice, particularly for those who have grown disconnected from their physical or sensual selves?
For Dr. Prem, embodiment is not merely physical grounding — it is the art of allowing spirit to breathe through matter. Through somatic awareness, creative movement, and mindful presence, individuals rediscover sensuality as sacred life-flow rather than performance or shame. “To be embodied is to become a prayer in motion.”
“New Earth” implies a shift in collective consciousness. What does a New Earth look like through the lens of your 7 Sacred Rhythms, and how can individuals become catalysts for this transformation in their daily lives?
New Earth consciousness, she believes, arises when humanity lives from coherence rather than conflict. Each of the 7 Sacred Rhythms — grounding, clarity, centering, connection, essence, synchronicity, and being — offers a gateway to this evolution. “As each of us embodies transcendence through compassion, creativity, and clarity united with the heart,” Dr. Prem concludes, “we become living catalysts for a world guided by love rather than fear.”
