An engineer by training, Dr. Levry earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree of Science in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of New York and also holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Metaphysical Science. As a scholar, Dr. Levry seamlessly joins ancient eastern wisdom, mysticism, and healing practices such as meditation, breath work and yoga, with revelatory western science, mathematics, modern medicine and metaphysics. Through his music, lectures and writings, Dr. Levry has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people with his unifying message of harnessing the deep healing power of unconditional love, global peace and embracing service to others. Dr. Levry led more than 3,000 brilliant young minds from over 80 countries as a keynote speaker at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, during the IMUNA’s 46th annual National High School Model United Nations Conference. He was commended by the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce as a “Global Visionary” and “Local Leader” for both his international and local contributions to the community. Dr. Levry was featured by CNN as an authentic voice and top influencer amongst stars like Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Common for setting the agenda for global culture and leading the health and wellness movement, particularly in the black community. CNN host and commentator, Van Jones, highlighted Dr. Levry among prominent world figures working to improve the state of physical and mental health during the Covid-19 crisis and beyond. Dr. Levry was a guest speaker at the #MAYDAY 2020 synchronized meditation and prayer event, alongside Reverend Michael Beckwith, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Martin Luther King Jr. III, Sadhguru and other spiritual leaders, artists and influencers.

Thousands of people from around the world joined Dr. Levry, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Shelley Zalis, Carolyn Murphy, Kelly Rutherford, Toño Esquinca, along with other thought leaders, artists and influencers for the inaugural online event. Grammy Award winning Swedish singer, Lisa Ekdahl, and award winning Russian singer and songwriter, Katya Lel,  also took part in the global movement and added their vocals to the original Love Heals song, produced and performed by Davina Leone. From leading massive Global Gatherings for Peace and Healing, to ground-breaking work in music scientifically acknowledged to heal, to empowering youth from elementary to university levels with impactful programs and transformational lectures world-wide, Dr. Levry is putting into action a universal message of healing and peace for today’s world.

In a recent study, neuroscientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, have used selections from Dr. Levry’s Healing Beyond Medicine music series to reduce pain in children undergoing cancer treatment. These pilot findings were published in the Journal of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, and an additional grant was issued for continued study. The results of this research were first presented by Dr. Mahiuddin Ahmed at a 2018 East Hampton New York event led by Dr. Levry, and graciously hosted by actress and supermodel Carolyn Murphy, the founder of Equinox Fitness Clubs Lavinia Errico, and celebrity hair colorist Michael Canalé. The event was also attended by actor and UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador, Adrian Grenier and ONDA founder, Luca Del Bono (BELLA Magazine, Times Square Chronicles).

Over the past eight years Dr. Levry has led hundreds of thousands of people around the world in massive Global Gatherings for Peace and Healing Superclasses. Since the first superclass in 2011, attendance has grown exponentially: 12,000 people participated in 2011 (Zócalo, Fox News, Vanguardia, Spirit Voyage); 15,000 people in 2012 (Revolution Monument, Reuters, LA Yoga, Spiegel, Tages Anzeiger, ITN, Namaskar: A Voice for the Yoga Community of Asia); 21,000 people in 2014 (Angel of Independence,); and 100,000 people, in-person and online, participated in 2015 (Angel of Independence, LA Yoga, Vanguardia, Santa Monica Mirror). The most recent event held in Zócalo Square in Mexico City on November 26th, 2017 united 318,000 people in person and around the world via an internationally televised uninterrupted Broadcast by Televisa (Yoga Journal, Yoga Journal Singapore, Huffington Post). The Government of Mèxico City was so moved by the “positive result of the people who attended”, that free weekly yoga classes are now offered every Sunday at the Angel of Independence Monument. The Global Gatherings for Peace and Healing superclasses aim to contribute to peace and healing through the power of global community, positive human intention and focused meditation. 

Dr. Levry’s vast body of educational material is evidence of his life-long commitment to education, mentorship and research. Ten extensive certification courses and lifestyle programs emphasize scientific exploration into human anatomy, physiology, neurology and endocrinology and integrate those with the Eastern and Occidental metaphysical philosophy perspective of the body. Subjects range from fertility and prenatal health to optimization of the brain and nervous system, and extensive physical and spiritual applications pertaining to total wellness and specific health challenges. Dr. Levry is the CEO and founder of Rootlight, Inc., a publishing and production company. He is also the creator of Naam Yoga and the Harmonyum Healing System (The Luxonomist). On October 24, 2014, the mayor of Santa Monica, Pam O’Connor, in an official commendation from the City of Santa Monica, recognized Naam Yoga LA founded by Dr. Levry, for its positive contribution to the welfare of the community through its community classes providing personalized care and vital healing to individuals affected by cancer, autism/ASD, diabetes and other health concerns (See Commendation in the Contributions section). Dr. Levry’s extensively developed curriculum, in addition to his seven books translated into multiple languages, serve as the primary knowledge base for students. In the field of music Dr. Levry has produced over 45 albums comprised of mathematically produced healing vibrations which have been the subject of countless testimonials.  He has personally consulted over 90,000 people in areas of health, family, psychological well-being and career advancement.

Vision

Dr. Levry is realizing his life’s vision of reviving the primordial heart and spirit of humankind with a pure and effective body of knowledge that is referred to as Divine Spiritual Wisdom.  He can be heard saying in many of his classes, courses and events, “It is our job to give hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless and love to those without love.” Dr. Levry passionately devotes his life to presenting science and spirituality from a unified perspective that allows humanity to navigate the fluctuations of life through an expanded understanding of the immutable mathematical laws of nature through which the Divine operates. His early upbringing and educational background prepared him both in the mathematical sciences and in metaphysics, in essence, providing him with a sound understanding as to the fundamental questions concerning the nature of reality. He holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Polytechnic Institute in New York City, was groomed in early childhood by a pristine lineage of Rose-Croix Kabbalists as to the laws of metaphysics, and was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Metaphysical Science from the Institute of Metaphysical Humanistic Science. Physics, quantum physics and metaphysics, alchemy and chemistry provide the theoretical framework for the mechanisms at work within Naam Yoga and the Harmonyum Healing System that Dr. Levry developed.

“Spirituality must be used as an instrument for greater good. The best way to express our spirituality is by serving others and making a difference in the world. Spirituality is about helping others, more than just  getting ahead ourselves. When someone falls apart we must extend a helping hand, along with our kindness, our compassion, and our unconditional love. Our spiritual practice must cause us to become a burning candle which lights the path for others. We must go beyond the illusion of separateness so as to realize that we are all interconnected. Whatever our beliefs, we must seek to be instruments of love, peace and light, so that we may be a force for good in this world.”
