ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Maat Barlow has always been interested in exploring different esoteric paths.  In 2004 she realized it was time to go deeper within and find her own expression.  She wanted to share her discoveries in a form that was accessible to others, and so she began to write LIVING BY NUMBERS.  LIVING BY NUMBERS is the third book Maat has worked on, but the first of which she is the author.  Previously, she edited Shiv Charan Singh's book, LET THE NUMBERS GUIDE YOU, which was published in 2004 by O Books.

Maat's work on LET THE NUMBERS GUIDE YOU was the culmination of a five-year course of learning.  The process began when she met Shiv Charan Singh, founder of the Karam Kriya School of Numerology.  Through his teachings, and a focused period of study and debate, Maat discovered the universal language of the numbers.  During this same period that began in 1999, she started to practise Kundalini Yoga, and in 2002 she became a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher.

Maat has a BA Hons degree in Graphic Design.  She was an illustrator for Vogue Magazine and the VOGUE BODY AND BEAUTY BOOK by Bronwen Meredith.  She also made jerseys from wool that she dyed from natural sources, created intricate tapestries, and manufactured swimsuits for women with long bodies.
