Mark Lyttleton graduated from the University of York in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree with honours in Chemistry. His close collaborations with entrepreneurs have sparked an interest in how the mind and energy works. This interest has resulted in him becoming a certified Pranic Healer. He has also studied meditation and the Three Principles understanding of how the mind works.
