My yogi husband slept with a young woman - then told me they'd been lovers in a past life

Watching my husband, Arun, disappear off to have sex with a woman he had encouraged me to see as my friend - without feeling any need to hide it from me - should have spelled the end of my marriage.

But according to Arun, he wasn't being unfaithful to me. He was simply allowing his body to facilitate the reunion of two old souls — one belonging to Angela, our employee, and the other, to a man called Tao, her husband from a past life, whose spirit my husband was now conveniently channelling.

Not only was I supposed to accept this, but as a woman seeking spiritual enlightenment, I was meant to be happy that Tao and Angela, a beautiful 26-year-old to my husband's then 63 years, had found each other again.

This sounds outlandish, I know. Twenty years later, it does to me, too. But at the time I was trapped in an abusive relationship, having wholly bought into the idea that Arun was as much my spiritual guide and leader as he was my husband.

Seduced by a practice that promised inner peace, mental clarity, physical wellbeing and, above all, greater meaning to my life, I became controlled by a master manipulator masquerading as my husband and guru.

At that time, I was a 30-year-old graduate from Harvard and INSEAD, a prestigious business school near Paris, earning close to a six-figure salary at a major tech company. I also ran a yoga school in an upmarket Parisian neighbourhood, where plenty of the city's well-off, educated inhabitants were similarly enamoured by Arun.

He presented himself as heir to a long lineage of yogis from the Himalayas. At our studio he taught group yoga classes, and also privately trained executives whom he charged exorbitant fees of up to 5,000 euros (£4,340). The idea of a long life with inner peace and a healthy body is seductive, and people were, and still are, prepared to pay handsomely for the opportunity.

Over the weeks that followed, Arun's interest in me grew. When he asked for £2,500 for private tuition, I overcame my shock and decided to pay for the privilege of learning from him. And the more time we spent together, the more he mesmerised me with his talk of past lives and ability to channel higher beings.

When I admitted, three months after we'd met, that I loved him, he immediately confirmed with a calm and glowing face that I was his wife with whom he had been reunited from a past life.

No one talks about the potentially dangerous flipside to the wellness industry, within which yoga and meditation play a central role. Instead, it's become the modern cure-all for the mental and physical ailments that are caused by modern life.

What? You don't like Physics for atheists?

But you know how it is: Hawking only draws conclusions from decades of rigorous education in science from the best educational institutions in the world, while WLC talks to spirits.
