About Me 

My name is Alastair Roshan Ballentyne but you can call me Al (yes like the song!).

It’s a privilege to be from a mixed ethnic heritage background of Scottish Celtic and Persian Iranian and come from a family line of spiritual practitioners-advisors and it is my mission to put people back in touch with their personal spiritual side of life. 

In 2017, I entered into open service in spirituality, after a long career, working in music, arts, education, events, and freelancing, all of which served as a vessel of spiritual transmission.After having to leave my work in Music and education, due to a health issue in 2018, this began a deeper journey which resulted in the formation of Higher Transmissions Limited in 2020. 

As someone who has been actively engaged in the spiritual path my whole life, it became frustrating to me to see people using spirituality as a justification to fan the flames of unrest in our society during the pandemic.Which is by no means over.

Blended approaches to personal wellbeing

It was in my opinion that people needed more diverse approaches that offer both grounded practice, logical reasoning, and an expansive mindset. Coming from a background of western and Middle Eastern, this blend of cultures is something that helped me approach this working in this way.

I offer one-to-one services from straight up, readings, consultations, EFT, tapping sessions, group, classes, and programs, workshops and classes. I operate the Tarot circle membership, which is for people interested in developing the practice and study of Tarot, alongside exploration of further spiritual development in a practical, everyday context, as well as other related subjects, such as astrology.

It is deeply important to me that in a time of great societal change, where we are looking to ask ourselves more serious questions about the types of systems and structures we live in, spirituality also needs to be re-examined. Because it is in my view, spirituality can help give shape and meaning to the human story.

It’s not about sitting around in a highly controlled environment separated from the world, it’s about embodying that with every thought, breath, step, and action that you take throughout your life.

Building a bigger table rather than a taller fence

It has been a blessing to work …with people all around the world, from different cultures, backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. Someone with intercultural heritage, the diversity of work is something that has interested me going right, the way back to my early days as a musician and teacher.

Because, without creating a bigger table, expanding the circle, and being open to new perspectives, it will be difficult for us to successfully actualise the progress that we need to make as a society.

Yes spirituality is there to help you feel good, enrich your life rather than what we see at large where it has been reduced to how you can improve your financial circumstances, or see who is out to cause your problems.

Of course we can do all that! But we need to elevate and expand the scope of work massively.

Future focused, present action

Which is why I am here - to help be part of a wider solution.

Outside of the direct spiritual services that I offer here, I have actively remained engaged with my passion and interest in music, the arts and creativity. Because to me, these have always been a very pure distillation of spiritual expression, because where does the art come from?

It comes from that other place, and it is that other place that we seek to connect with through this work. 

If you’re ready to get to work, check out how I can be of service for you with the existing offers here.

You can also keep up with me on social media, as I believe that spirituality exists in all things, I post about all things! As it’s all about keeping things, interesting and not separate from what’s going on in the world
