Meet Saraswati J Miller | Embodied Dharma Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Saraswati J Miller and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Saraswati J, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I didn’t feel like I had a choice. I was at a crossroads in life where nothing else was working. This often happens on the dharmic path. Everything else you’ve been doing ceases to work and you have to find a new way forward. I had to get creative. If no one would hire me, then I’d have to share my gifts and wisdom with others! I started sharing Vedic Astrology sessions and it took off. My fascination with Jyotish began when I was seven years old, but I didn’t have much confidence in myself or my unique understanding of this ancient tool. Continuing to share and teach helped me realize I was using Jyotish differently than most. Eventually I bridged my body-centered expressive art therapy studies with my lifelong Vedic studies. I now offer Embodied Vedic Astrology. What started out of desperation has become a very successful small business sharing my dharmic gifts and wisdom with clients all over the world.

What should our readers know about your business?
Growing up with Jyotish was only a little bit helpful. Most Vedic astrologers are focused on prediction, not healing. I don’t care about prediction. One of my most important teachers Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra once told me “the highest purpose of Jyotish is for dharma and healing.” That felt deeply important for me and my path.

When I look at your Jyotish chart, I am looking at a map of your body- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is also a map of your ancestral body and past, present, and future karmas. This information unlocks multiple layers of insight and understanding about your purpose in this lifetime.

My body-centered approach to Vedic Astrology will support clarity for your dharmic path, your soul purpose, so you can move forward with confidence, trust, and a sense of alignment with your gifts and wisdom.

For over a decade, I’ve helped hundreds of clients clarify their life path and purpose through deeper self trust and a more embodied connection to their inner wisdom. The healing journey looks different for everyone, but the outcomes are clear. When we trust ourselves, we make very different choices in life! When we know what we need and want, we can create a life of meaning, passion, nourishment and joy.

In my work with clients, I draw upon my lifelong Vedic education and use my intuitive skills to navigate the complex layers of each individuals body. Using the four bodies as the basis of this exploration, I add in psychological, artistic, energetic and intuitive resources to support my understanding of a clients’ needs. The results are deeper self trust, more emotional depth, clarity for one’s path and purpose, as well as greater healing and transformation on the journey.

I often say that my Vedic education began in my mother’s womb. She deepened her meditation practice, gained advanced Siddhis and studied the Vedic texts all while she was pregnant with me! At age seven, we moved to a Meditation community where I attended a Vedic school- learning Sanskrit, Vedic science and math, studied the Vedic texts and literature, as well as other Vedic resources. My Vedic studies continued throughout my life, though Jyotish and Ayurveda became the predominant resource and passion for me. I have had many valuable educational experiences along my path, but my Vedic studies have proved to be a powerful foundation for my self trust and inner wisdom.

In addition to my Vedic studies, art, creativity and animal wisdom, have been life long passions for me. As a dancer from an early age, the body has been a primary resource for me, supporting my creative processes, healing awareness and life experiences. For almost a decade, I taught yoga and later became a Masters student of Body-Centered Expressive Art Therapy. This blend of movement and art bridges my artistic, psychological and somatic understanding- which I bring into my work with clients.

I believe the body is the greatest tool for awareness and healing. All layers of the body can inform us about the shadows and disconnection that often go unseen, as well as the trauma impacting us. Jyotish astrology can show us very precisely where the disconnections live in the body, and thus the medicine for reconnection and wholeness.

My unique embodied approach to Vedic astrology and dharma has supported hundreds of clients around the world by deepening self trust and awakening their dharmic gifts. Using the body and Vedic astrology together is a powerful combination that supports inner wisdom and a self directed path of discovery and unfolding. For nearly a decade I’ve been sharing my cosmic wisdom rooted in the wisdom of the body, expressive arts, mentorship, coaching, and energy work- so that the dharmic path becomes clearer, more focused, and truly aligned with the purpose of the soul.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I hike every day with my malamutes. I visit a variety of trails every week and love to explore the beauty of Colorado. We live in Colorado because we love to be outside! My absolutely favorite trail is at Peaceful Valley. If I’m up for a road trip, I like going to the hot springs in southern Colorado. For the best coffee, tea and croissants Moxie is the place to go. For good sandwiches and pastries, go to Shamanes. My favorite Thai food is at Alloy. I am lucky to have Eldora in my backyard and it’s a fun ski day when the wind isn’t blowing too hard.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My unique upbringing exposed me to Vedic knowledge and I am grateful I was born and raised with these ancient tools. My mother was the most influential and supportive ally, friend, and teacher on my path. She was curious, creative, and a healer in her own right. She was always seeking answers. Her desire for truth and liberation led her to meditation and Vedic knowledge. Thanks to her, I was blessed with powerful resources and tools that have helped me navigate very choppy waters in this life. Even her sudden death twelve years ago became a catalyst and an initiation for me. The grief, pain, and darkness has transformed me and the way I walk in this world.
