Find Joy in Spirit Communication

By Ashley Stamatinos
Yesterday, I watched as a friendly spirit made silly faces
at my two-year-old son, and caused him to burst into belly
giggles as if he was being tickled. As I smiled at the scene
in front of me, I was filled with the deepest gratitude for
being able to see what most people would have missed. In
my house, it's normal for my son and me to see and
commu- nicate with spirits.

Have you ever seen a spirit around you or felt the

presence of a deceased loved one? For the past 10 years,
me- diums have been getting more attention within the
media, and most households are at least aware that a
medium is someone who can communicate with spirits or
deceased loved ones. What I love most about this is that
it's normal- izing mediumship and removing a lot of the
fear around it.

Communicating with spirits on the other side has al- ways

been very entertaining and enjoyable for me. When I think
about communicating with the unseen world, my
perspective is that it's a constant source of many smiles
and a lot of laughter. Even when you're dealing with heavy
subject matter, you can always find a way to lighten any
situation. Seeing spirits is difficult to put into words.
However, I

can only describe it as a way to see beyond what is in

front

01/03/23, 16:30 - Maya Rawal: of f you, receiving messages

of inspiration and encourage- ment from the spirits around
you. Just imagine for a mo- ment that two people are
looking at the same movie screen, one person sees
everything normally in 2D, while the other has 3D glasses
on where they get to see bonus highlights, movement and
colors that the other person isn't seeing.

Believe it or not, you have the ability to put on the 3D

glasses, too, seeing more than what is right in front of
you. To see the world of spirits, you just have to train your
eyes as well as your mind to see what else is there and be
open to receiving the messages.

Often when I'm lecturing or teaching on the topic of

increasing your connection with spirits, I hear people tell
me they are full of fear about communicating with the
other side. I can understand how there may be a fear of
the unknown. What I'd like to share with you is a different
perspective on how interacting with the other side can not
only be playful but can also be a source of information
that frees you.

My First Time Seeing a Spirit

I've always been very empathic, intuitive and open-

minded. However, I didn't grow up seeing spirits, having
imaginary friends or anything like that. Just days before
the terrorist attacks on 9/11 I moved to New York City.
Right after the terrorist attacks, I became very ill with
fibromyal- gia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain. I hit rock
bottom while I was dealing with these challenging health
battles, and from this difficult place in my life sprouted
something beautiful. I started to see spirits and the energy
around all
01/03/23, 16:32 - Maya Rawal: of us.

At first it felt like I was living in a science fiction movie

because of how awakened my sense of sight was with my
sudden awakening. As you may suspect, it was a weird
feeling to have my world completely altered, but more im-
portant than the initial bizarreness of the change was how
thrilling and exciting it was!

This gift was very subtle at first, but it didn't take me long
before I knew I wanted to grow this gift and absorb as
much information on it as possible. At first I began by
read- ing every book I could get my hands on, and then I
started attending classes and going to numerous
workshops. Com- bining this external learning with
extensive internal reflec- tion and meditation, I was able
to harness and grow my gift.

The first time I saw a spirit was in my bedroom in my NY

apartment. It was a full head-to-toe silhouette of a spirit
standing right next to my bed-no more than two feet from
where I lay. Because I wasn't sure at first what I was look-
ing at, I did a double-take, looking away to see if it was a
shadow of something. But, when I looked back, it was still
there. Slightly in disbelief, I asked the spirit some ques-
tions: "Do I know you?", "What's your name?", "Why are
you here in my room?", "Can I help you?" I quickly realized
that it was my grandma, my mother's mother, and she was
there to help me heal from my health issues.
Fortunately, she was there answering my call for guid-
ance to get healthy. She said she would be there for me
anytime I asked for her. After that encounter she felt ever-

01/03/23, 16:32 - Maya Rawal: present-frequently

appearing beside me and even flicker- ing the lights in my
home from time to time. It was always soothing to have
her energy around me

I later went to a famous medium in Long Island to see if

what I was experiencing could be validated. I was so ex-
cited as I drove up to his office! I asked my grandmother
to show up and give me a sign. I was floored when I met
the medium, and the first thing he said was, "Your
mother's mother is here and says you asked her in the car
ride over here to show up in this session. She says her
name is Mary" My jaw was on the floor-all of that was
correct, and it was only a few minutes into the session! I
just laughed and en- joyed the incredible nature of spirit
communication. Hav- ing validation like that gave me the
confidence to continue working on my skills.

I would practice giving mini readings to my willing friends

and their friends who I didn't know. It really caught my
attention when I would tell someone all about their
personality, see tumors in certain areas of the body, or tell
if someone was taking drugs. Interestingly enough, they
would look at me with wide eyes and validate the informa-
tion I was giving them.

To be honest, at first I was as (or maybe even more)

shocked as they were. However, after receiving
consistent

validation from people that the things I was seeing were in

fact the things going on in their bodies, I started to fully

trust my intuition. Through eastern medicine and energy
healing prac- tices, I ended up completely healing my body
of all the

01/03/23, 16:32 - Maya Rawal: chronic health issues I was

dealing with and really started thriving in my life.
Needless to say, my doctors were shocked!

The discovery that I was a highly empathic person, in turn,

allowed me to realize that I was actually taking on all the
suffering and pain of other people around me, as if I was a
sponge. My sensitivity to everyone else's "baggage" was
debilitating me, but once I learned that I was an empath, it
changed everything. As a result, I started to live differ-
ently and I was able to transform my emotional sensitiv-
ities from the source of my debilitation into my strongest
strength.¹

Mediumship Runs in the Family

One of my favorite memories of spirit communication was

in my seventh month of pregnancy. During pregnancy a
mother's intuition increases exponentially-you can im-
agine what that did for me since I was already tapped into
communicating with the other side.
Early one morning, while still in the womb, my baby
started kicking me at 4 a.m. He never kicked me in the
mid- dle of the night like that, so it woke me up. I thought
how strange it was that he was kicking me so hard since
he's al- ways been very gentle with me while I'm sleeping.
I turned over to get on my other side in case he was
telling me he didn't like how I was positioned.

A moment later I received a phone call from my friend.

Because I had turned over I could see my phone in front of
me on the night stand lighting up. For some strange
reason I had turned my ringer off the day before and forgot
to turn

01/03/23, 16:33 - Maya Rawal: it off the silent setting

before going to bed like I usually do. If the baby hadn't
woken me up and prompted me to open my eyes and turn
over, I would have missed the important phone call.

My friend was calling me to tell me that her father had just

passed away moments before. When I answered the phone
she was surprised, and told me she didn't even remember
dialing me. My baby knew that I could help com- fort my
friend and that I needed to pick up the phone to be there
for her. I could even sense that my baby had spoken to her
father after he passed away and together they orches-
trated the whole thing.

Words can't describe how grateful I was that my baby

woke me up so that I didn't miss that opportunity to be
there for my friend. As soon as she had told me that her
father passed away, I was aware of his presence. We must
have stayed on the phone for 40 minutes as she asked me
questions, and I communicated messages from her father
to her. She asked me if he was upset with her for taking
him off of dialysis. I relayed the message to her that her
father was very grateful that she was brave enough to do
that. He knew it was the best and kindest option, and he
thanked her.

Mediumship has its responsibilities as well as its joy of

discovery. Every day I become more and more aware of
my gift and my need to help others with these
connections. I also share this with my students through
special sessions focused on unlocking your mediumship
ability.

What I See at Funerals

01/03/23, 16:34 - Maya Rawal: I must admit that I have

never minded going to fu- nerals, and I've been to my fair
share. My husband always thought it was weird that I
didn't mind going. The truth is, I found it an opportunity to
talk to all the spirits in the funeral homes, and to also see
spirits in the cemeter- ies. I placed my focus on the
interesting conversations I was going to have while
communicating with the spirits who were present. My
personal viewpoint was that it was an opportunity to work
on my communication skills with spirits....a silver lining to
a sad occasion when attending a funeral or wake. After
all, it's all how you choose to look at things, right?

One day I was attending my great aunt's funeral. While I

was in church watching the service, I was also privileged
to be watching another scene unfold. My great uncle (her
husband) had greeted her, and they stood together next to
her casket on the altar, very close to the Greek Bishop.
The best part about the scene was their happiness-it was
radiating from them and spreading light rays of white light
throughout the church. They were back together again.
after such a long time apart, and together they were
beam- ing with pride as they looked out at all the people
who at tended the service as well as all the kind words
that were being said.

Later, after we had made our way to the cemetery, I was

listening to the Greek Bishop and again realized my great
aunt and uncle were standing next to the coffin. They
were standing arm in arm, all smiles. They had their backs
to their family and friends as they stood facing the Greek

01/03/23, 16:34 - Maya Rawal: Bishop, politely taking in all

of the words he was saying. When they were alive they
were avid church goers, so it didn't surprise me that they
were so focused on paying at- tending to the words of the
service.

Suddenly, without turning around, I got chills and had an

awareness that there were many spirits standing behind
me and around us. Actually, I stepped back and looked be-
hind me and all around to see that there were indeed
many spirits attending this funeral to pay their respects
along with us. The spirits politely stood around the tent
and lis- tened in on the gravesite service, too.

Many of the spirits were there with their husband or wife,

which was how they were during their life on earth when
they knew my great aunt and uncle. This was an op-
portunity for me to communicate with them telepathically,
so I asked them, "Are you buried here as well?" What kept
coming into my head was that most of them were not laid
to rest in those grounds. Feeling compelled, I asked them
some more questions such as, "How did you know her?"

The response was really empowering because some of

them showed me pictures of their friendship unfolding
over the years, and others showed me by placing videos in
my mind so I could see events that took place. I didn't
realize how helpful my great aunt and uncle were to the
people in their Greek Orthodox Church community until
the spirits showed me stories from the past. It was like
watching old home videos, only in the safe place of my
own mind.

As I watched the spirits showing their love and appre-

01/03/23, 16:34 - Maya Rawal: ciation to my great aunt, I

kept getting goose bumps just thinking about what was
taking place. Being present and in the moment, I found
this sequence of events to be quite profound because I
realized that very few of the people at- tending this
service were aware of what was actually taking place
beyond their initial reality at that moment.

When Spirits Talk to Your Husband

Throughout these past years growing a stronger con-

nection to communicate with spirits, I have found that my
awareness amplified, and my husband's awareness was
heightened as well. When you are working on increas- ing
your consciousness and increasing your intuition, the
people around you often start to feel an increase in their
awareness as well. When you choose to be more present,
more aware and more conscious, you will most likely see
the people around you start unlocking their hang ups (like
fear) and start to become more aware and more conscious
themselves.

It was a beautiful summer day when my husband was

home alone and called me frantically about a spirit he had
encountered. While my husband was in the kitchen alone
he could feel the presence of our friend's recently
deceased mom around him. Suddenly a glass bottle in our
cabinet exploded right after he felt her presence. The
bottle had not been touched and it was quite odd that it
exploded, so my husband immediately made the
connection that it was Dave's mom, Donna, sending a
message.

The night before, we had our friends over to our home, and
had shared some messages with them about the spirits

01/03/23, 16:35 - Maya Rawal: around them. One of the

spirits that was with us was our friend Dave's mother.

I was driving home when I received this frantic call from

my husband, and I burst into giggles at the thought of my
big masculine hubby calling me because he was freaked
out about being home alone with a spirit. You can imagine
what a priceless moment this was for me!
I confirmed to my husband that she was indeed there with
him and that she was just letting us know she appre-
ciated us getting the message across to her son the night
before at our house. After that experience, my husband
started seeing his friend's mother in his dreams. He had
multiple dreams with messages from spirits, and they
were real messages that could be validated.

It's Like Playing an Instrument

In 2005, I traveled around to study from the best. I took

courses in person from James Van Praagh, Tony Stockwell
and Mavis Patilla. Wanting to learn as much as I could, I
went to live gallery readings from John Edward and Alli-
son Dubois. Continuing my education on this topic, and ac
tively applying it daily, has been a top priority for me for
many years now.

You see, I believe that everyone has the ability to com-

municate with spirits on the other side. Yes, even you. I
like to think learning to communicate with spirits is like
playing the piano. Anyone can take classes and learn to
play the piano. However, some people are simply more
gifted and with enough training and practice, they become
concert pi- anists. Similarly, when it comes to developing
your skills as

01/03/23, 16:36 - Maya Rawal: a medium, it will also take

time, commitment and dedica- tion in order to grow your
ability to see or feel the unseen world that's all around us.
What would it look like for you if you were able to drop
your fears and receive messages from the other side from
a place of total allowance and non-resistance?

Spirit communication can bring so much joy and ful-

fillment to your life. Anyone can make a connection with
the other side if they know what they are looking for and
how to connect. What you put your focus on is what you
create, and if you're focusing on fear, that's what you at
tract.

What if you choose to acknowledge your capacity for

communicating with spirit, and then allowed yourself to
enjoy the playful quality of seeing and sensing a world
that is typically unseen? Would that bring more joy to your
life? It has in mine, and I invite you to join me.

Together, Our Breath Is as One

By Katie Power

Flowing through all of life is a magnificent unseen force.

that resonates within us all. It is so majestic that words
cannot fully describe or express the magnitude of its eter-
nal greatness. The frequency in which it vibrates is
attuned to that of everlasting love and infinite wisdom and
truth. Each of us can naturally connect in with this
benevolent es- sence, as it is ultimately a part of who we
are.

Often we refer to this presence as Spirit, which in Latin is

spiritus, and means 'breath' As this meaning suggests,
Spirit continuously lives and breathes through each and
every one of us. It pulsates throughout all of existence
and connects us to each other in such a way that together
we all live and breathe as one.

When we incarnate into this earthly realm, we begin to

shift how we experience this oneness with Spirit. By us
leaving our natural formless state, we are taking on a real-
ity that is foreign to our usual mode of expression. We
agree to undergo a shift in our awareness of how we see
ourselves and process information. This also means that
we can more easily lose sight of our connection to the
whole.

In this 3D realm, people and things can appear as sep-

arate from each other which in turn helps us to experience

01/03/23, 16:39 - Maya Rawal: things without being too

overly attached to them-without seeing them as an
extension of ourselves-so we can then view interactions
from a less immediate perspective, one that we may not
have had if this were not the case. The fascinating irony
here is that by turning our awareness out- ward, we are
ultimately still, as it turns out, looking inward.

Part of the reason this is possible is because the energy in

this physical realm is dense in nature and moves at a
much slower rate. As such, eternal wisdom and truth can
appear somewhat clouded and not as readily accessible.
This also means we can more easily forget who we really
are and what we already knew, prior to taking on our
earthly form.

However, this is of no hindrance to us. In fact, it works to

our advantage, as it is the ideal climate for thorough re-
search and exploration to be done. This is because we can
have so much focused time and attention specializing in
certain areas of life that would otherwise pass us by in an
instant in higher-vibrating realms.
Here on earth, we get to thrive in a unique space-time
continuum that allows us to gain much precision in self-
mastery as well as strengthen our ability to laser in on any
given aspect of ourselves that we so choose to explore.
We have the luxury of spending years or even centuries
learn- ing and developing in this way.

On the soul level, we have each come here to explore

various aspects of our own shared nature. However, it is
Spirit that makes up the entirety of who and what we are
The essence of Spirit is best described as a life-force
energy

01/03/23, 16:39 - Maya Rawal: that as a whole can be

considered God Consciousness Innately each of us has
complete access to this con- sciousness but only in
limited amounts. We are not equipped to fully comprehend
the totality of all conscious- ness simultaneously nor are
we designed to. Therefore the amount of information that
can be processed by us has its limits. Fortunately, we do
not have to take notice or even think about all aspects of
life and the infinite information that it holds, but rather we
can just explore those areas that pertain to us as we work
to fulfill our life's purpose.

Our souls chose to come here to experience this type of

reality in order to further our growth and development
both individually and collectively. Each of us has co-
created a blueprint of what we would like to come here to
learn and explore. This framework holds within it our
purpose for being here on this earth.
Before we are born, we decide everything from how we
want to look or where we want to live to who our parents
will be and what we want to learn. We also created soul-
contracts so that we can share experiences with other
souls that are mutually beneficial for furthering our
purpose or even clearing karma. Then, we are born at the
exact time and place that will best support us on our life's
mission.

While here, the overall plan for our lives remains intact but
it is no longer left to our immediate awareness to know or
even understand it. Although we may remember some of it
through moments of déjà vu, glimpses of insight, or just a
strong inner knowing. Plus, when we incarnate we can
still tap into the benevolent wisdom and eternal love of
Spirit at

01/03/23, 16:40 - Maya Rawal: any time as it exists within

all things and always supports us.

Most of us will not be able to remember all of what we

have planned for our lives prior to our soul's incarna- tion.
The collective unconscious of our time may desire to be
healthy, receive a good education, get a respectable job,
have a family, and enjoy a long retirement before
peacefully dying of old age while asleep. Despite all of
this, spiritually speaking, this may not be anything close
to what our souls actually desire for ourselves-which can
create strife and inner conflict within our human self.

Interestingly, it is often our perceived hardships, faults,

and limiting beliefs that actually help us to excel in fulfill-
ing our life's work. This is also why we allow ourselves to
fall to illness or go through traumatic experiences that
can affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually. In human terms these could be seen as a
travesty but on the soul level, it creates the environment
needed in which the soul can gain further insights, receive
valuable healing, and experience deeper self-awareness.

Similarly, our hopes and dreams can require determin-

ation, effort, consistency, and a journey of evolution. All of
this can be equally daunting and cause people to avoid or
struggle with going after or fulfilling the things that they
desire. Plus, along the way we can experience fears,
doubts, and other limiting beliefs too. This all ultimately
serves us, though, and actually does help our soul with its
progress here.

Remember, the soul never forgets its mission nor that

01/03/23, 16:40 - Maya Rawal: it is a part of the divine

whole of Spirit. Therefore, it does not see lifetime events
in terms of 'good' or 'bad' or 'posi- tive' and 'negative.' It is
our human side that tends to see or think about things in
these ways as the soul knows that we are all Spirit having
a human experience and everything (yes, everything!) that
happens is for the highest good of all concerned.

We are eternal souls that are a part of Spirit and have

come to this realm to experience what separation can
look or feel like for the purpose of learning and
understanding We just need to trust the plan that we have
co-created for ourselves, even if we do not recall what
that plan is, and re- member that our soul and Spirit are
always looking out to serve our highest good and make
sure we receive their guid- ance along the way.

Even if our lives are experienced as difficult or full of

hardship, we will still typically continue to follow our
soul's plan-it is to our own benefit to do so. Yet, we do
have free will as to how certain events may unfold.
Everything is not pre-written in a definitive way that
cannot be altered or ad- justed in some way.

Often we may project that our life experiences are ex-

ternal and any pain or suffering is happening due to

outside factors that are out of our control. But this is just
an illusion as we are all active participants in co-creating
our realities. Lasting peace and happiness can only come
from within, no matter what is happening around us. We
just have to trust in the knowingness of that which lies
within Looked at externally, life can be seen as a sort of

01/03/23, 16:40 - Maya Rawal: amazing mirage that creates

whatever reality it is that we choose. In this sense, it can
be likened to a 'master of illusion,' a 'magical mirror,' or as
I like to think of it, 'a great teacher.' To our benefit, we
can actually keep reliving simi- lar experiences or
maintaining a certain cycle of thought or way of being
until our soul has finally reached its max- imum potential
of learning and is ready to move on to a new cycle of
learning. Until then, specific people, circum- stances, or
situations will remain in front of us as needed for our
growth and development.
We are always going through many different cycles of
growth in any given time frame. While one cycle may only
require a few years, another may take a whole lifetime or
possibly even multiple lifetimes to complete. Your time
here then is always put to good use and you could never
really fall behind, get off track, or truly fail.

Everything that happens throughout your entire life- span

is always, always, always, something your soul has come
here to experience and learn from and therefore is
valuable. When we think our present reality should look
like something other than what it does, we fall into a line
of thinking which takes away our power as a co-creator of
our own reality. Remember, a lot of this world is merely a
reflection of our own beliefs and thoughts being shown
back to us. We may not always like what we see, but
usually all it takes is a simple shift in our perspective or
mindset to change our experience of that same exact
reality.

Before we can shift our mindset, though, we have to

address and heal any areas that are holding us in it. The
law

01/03/23, 16:41 - Maya Rawal: of attraction speaks

beautifully about this and how like at- tracts like. By doing
the same things we will always receive the same results.

When we open up to a different way of being, thinking, or

acting, our circumstances can change. Nonetheless, all
things happen in layers. If there is even a small inkling of
an unfinished lesson left to be learned, then life will
always find a way to bring us back to that lesson. This is
all a part of the cycle of life.

Some lessons may span across an entire lifetime while

others may stretch into many more. There is no race to be
won or judgment to be made as to the length or extent of
our learning or progress. We each must be patient and
com- passionate towards ourselves and each other. Life in
this 3D realm is not an easy feat, and we are all in this
together.

When the time comes for us to shed our physical body and
return to our natural formless state; we will no longer be
bound or limited by time and space. We'll have the op-
portunity to evaluate how well we've achieved what we
set out to do. We can then take a deeper look at the effect
of all of our actions and inactions. Our spiritual team will
help to guide us with how to move forward from there.

In summary, together through Spirit, we are all one.

Whatever we do unto another, we are essentially doing to
ourself. Our experience of this 3D realm is very much re-
flective of our own inner state of being. It mirrors back to
us the lessons we came here to learn. Do not pass
judgment on

the journey you've chosen, for it brings you many gifts. As

we navigate through different stages and cycles of

01/03/23, 16:44 - Maya Rawal: growth, our souls continue

to expand and evolve. We gain higher levels of awareness
and are able to pave the way for future blessings to come.
Although life on earth can seem difficult at times,
remember that you are unconditionally and eternally loved
and cherished. Spirit will always dwell within your heart
and circulate through your soul. So, whenever you are
facing a challenge, feeling out of sorts, or completely lost
in despair, remember that you are not alone and that the
energy of Spirit is always just a breath away

When You Don't Agree with God

By Linda S. Evans
Fighting back the tears and doing my best to remain calm
and strong for my daughter, I focus on getting us home
safely on Interstate 5. It's only 110 miles from the hospital
in Los Angeles to our home yet it seems like an eternity.
My 15-year-old daughter, Sarah, stares out the window
from the front seat beside me. My husband, Don, follows in
a separate car. Windows halfway down with the breeze
blowing fully through the car, Sarah is so glad to be out of
that hospital and breathing some fresh air. I am also lov-
ing this fresh air, inhaling it deeply, quietly praying with
every breath. If this is God breathing through me, which I
do believe, "Please God show me how to do this," I pray.
There is no book or manual on how to be present and
facili- tate your own child's transition to the other side.
Yet, that was what was being required of us now. Oh God,
"I do not agree," I silently prayed. This can't possibly be
the outcome. which is for the highest and greatest good
for all involved Sarah is a special child with so many
unique gifts to con- tribute to this beautiful planet. We
have prayed, meditated and applied many different
alternative healing modalities. We had followed the
medical recommendations and held a very positive vision
for her ultimate healing and return

01/03/23, 16:46 - Maya Rawal: to her previously happy and

healthy life. We would never have agreed to all of the
medical recommendations if this is how the story is to
end. As I glance at Sarah, she seems more happy and
peaceful than she has been for a long time.

My precious daughter had said very little since being told

by the doctor that there is nothing further that they can do
other than "comfort" measures. She wanted the tube out
of her nose that was providing nourishment to her. That
nasogastric tube had always been a source of irrita- tion
to her. Telling herself that the tube was better than being
forced to eat was the only manner in which she had made
peace with it. She wanted the drain that was draining bile
out of her abdomen removed. It was cumbersome and
made it difficult to walk. She wanted to ride her beautiful
paint mare, Misty. That was about all she had said in the
last 24 hours since we had been informed that there was
nothing more the medical providers had to offer. When the
doctor asked her if she had any questions or anything she

wanted to say, she shook her head, "No." Listening to

Sarah's favorite set of music in the car, we

hear Sara Bareilles singing "Brave." "Oh dear God," I pray,

"Sarah is the bravest soul I know. She has kept her focus
on getting well and getting back on her horse throughout
this 20-month torturous journey. This is how you, God, are
re- warding her for her strength, bravery and
determination to get well? What kind of a God does that?"

We hear Avril Lavigne singing "Here's to Never Grow- ing

Up." Is the universe speaking to us through the music, I
wondered? Sarah will not be growing up. She has lived a

01/03/23, 16:53 - Maya Rawal: beautiful, rich life, as she

lived each day to the fullest and encouraged everybody
around her to do the same. She will not be growing up any
further.
Next is Bob Sima's "Don't Die With Your Music Inside of
You." Sarah actually smiles and laughs as this one comes
on. She asks, "Do you think I'm dying with my music inside
of me?" It seems like a rhetorical question and I have no
good answer, so I just shake my head, "No."

Thoughts are flying through my head. I wonder "Who do I

call for help?" I wished my mom was still alive. Her loving
support would be so comforting at this time. She would
know how to do this. How could this be happening to us?
We've been good-hearted, honest people. We've done a lot
of good for people on the planet. We have done a lot of
spiritual work. Last week, we were close to the "cure" and
moving toward getting her strength back and getting
Sarah back on her horse, where she belonged.

Prior to our daughter's diagnosis, I thought I was a very

spiritually aware and awake person. I had come to Califor-
nia from the Midwest at the age of 22 and had explored
many spiritual healing modalities. I meditated, prayed, did
vision quests, sweat lodges, energy healings and life was
going well for me. I even taught other spiritual seekers to
meditate and that the "kingdom of heaven is within you."
My husband and I had similar spiritual beliefs and ap-
proaches and we were "creating our reality" in
amusement and enjoyment. We taught spiritual energy
mechanics and tools which facilitated people to receive
their own spiritual information and to express their
spiritual gifts and abil-

01/03/23, 16:54 - Maya Rawal: ities. We were on our

spiritual path and we were offering our gifts to the planet.
We started our family and taught our children about spirit
and who they were as spirit, giv- ing them freedom to
explore these concepts on their own and come to their
own beliefs and practices.

When our daughter was first diagnosed with a large pelvic

mass, we were all shocked, and our world as we knew it
quickly fell apart. It was very difficult to go into denial as
the doctors kept showing us the CT images of this large
mass in her pelvis. There was obviously some- thing
terribly wrong. It didn't take a clairvoyant to see that the
doctors were not sure whether their treatment options
(chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery) would heal our
daughter. From their point of view, we had to begin treat-
ment promptly and aggressively and hope for the best
outcome. They emphasized that there was no answer to
all of the "why?" questions and that it was just very bad
luck. Because of the uniqueness of Sarah's situation, the
doctors had no statistics to offer us regarding her chances
of sur- vival or predicted success rates with their
approaches. They promised they would do everything they
could, but there. was no guarantees or statistical support
for their recom- mendations. They only knew that she did
not have long to live if we did nothing.

So, there was no denial that there was something ter- ribly
serious and life-threatening going on in our daugh- ter's
body. Was this some sort of test from God? Was this some
sort of punishment for something we had done wrong at
some point in our soul's journey? Sarah was the

01/03/23, 16:56 - Maya Rawal: picture of sweet innocence

at the age of 13, so it was hard to believe she would
create such a "big" life experience at such a young age.
Was this just bad karma playing itself out? We wondered.
Was this some strange opportunity to put everything we
knew about spirit and energy healing to work to have a
"real" demonstration? We were no longer playing games
with energy mechanics and healing modal- ities, now it
was time to really put them to work for us. Was this some
special assignment from God? Similar to a "mis- sion
impossible" where if we did everything right in facili-
tating her healing, she would be healed and there would
be some beautiful reward in heaven? Desperately seeking
the deep spiritual meaning beneath all of this, we
meditated, prayed, waited for answers and followed the
energy one day at a time.

I really didn't and still don't believe God gives us tests or

punishes anybody. God/Source/Spirit/Divine/Universe/
Creator (whichever name you prefer works, to me they all
reference the same divine essence) is truly only Love. I
knew this to be true at the core of my being. If this was a
chance to dig in deep inside for every kernel of faith and
strength, my husband and I were "all in," and we were
going to use everything we knew and all healing
modalities that came our way to find a cure and have a
miracle. And so, we moved forward with combining the
medical recommenda- tions with 24/7 prayer, meditation,
and every reasonable healing modality that came our way
that Sarah was in agreement to. We consulted
experienced healers who had experienced success in
curing cancer. We truly believed a

01/03/23, 16:58 - Maya Rawal: miracle was possible and

did everything available to us to be in alignment with
receiving that miracle healing for our daughter. We asked
questions to help shift the energies. We gave it all we had
on heart, mind, body, and soul levels.

We submitted her name to any prayer ministry we heard of

and she had people praying for her and giving her energy
healings of all kinds of religions from all over the planet.
After the 20-month odyssey (the word jour- ney never
seemed "big enough" to describe our painful experience),
we were given the news that the cancer was spreading
aggressively in her abdomen and there was noth- ing that
could be done except for comfort measures. It was now
quite crystal clear that she was not returning to her
previous life. Why had everything we had done not worked
out the way we desired? Our time with her on the physical
plane was rapidly coming to an end. I felt so forsaken, be-
trayed, angry.

God was not negotiating. There was nothing that we could

do to spare our daughter from this. The Bible verse, "Not
my will, but thy will be done" was haunting me. "How
could this be thy will? Why have thou forsaken me?" I
cried. As a spiritual being, I could process this, somehow
knowing we do have free will and we sometimes agree to
certain life experiences before we take the body for our
growth and ex- pansion. In the process of birthing, a type
of amnesia sets in and we don't remember. I had some
understanding of how this happens spiritually. As a
mother, it was excruciatingly painful.

Where is God's Love now? After all she has gone

01/03/23, 16:58 - Maya Rawal: through, now it's "game

over" for my daughter. It just can't be game over for her.
She needs a divine do-over. I believe in divine do-overs.
Please God, I pray, my daughter deserves a divine do-over.

We arrive home and get Sarah settled comfortably onto

the couch with her favorite pillows and blankets. Her cats
are very welcoming, and they are quarreling over who gets
to be closest to her. She is smiling, relieved, and so happy
to be home and feeling the love from her cats. I am
looking for a movie for her to watch to keep her
entertained while we finish unloading the cars. I am
handing her the remote con- trol so she can find what she
wants and she grabs my hand, looks me directly in the eye
and asks the question we had all been avoiding. "How long
do I have?"

"The doctors don't know," I replied. Anger and tears

welling up now, she repeated her ques- tion. "How long do
I have? What did the doctors say? Tell me the truth, Mom."

I let the flood of tears out. I could no longer hold them

back. I was being honest with her. I knew she had every
right to know the truth. I replied, "They really wouldn't
say. The cancer is back

in your abdomen. It is spreading aggressively, and your

liver is not working well. But they really don't know how
long and they really wouldn't give any estimate."

We hold each other tighter than ever, tears flowing from

both of us, mixing together on our faces, necks, chests.
Breathing into our bellies and staring deep into each
others' eyes, hearts, and souls, we are silent, yet we seem

01/03/23, 16:59 - Maya Rawal: to be reassuring each other

that somehow we will make it through this together. The
mixture of tears, fears, and love seems to create a
calming salve. We soothe each other. She knows I am
hurting so deeply. I know she is scared, angry, yet still
very determined.

The hospice doctor arrived at our home later that even-

ing. He asked Sarah if she believed in heaven or some sort
of afterlife. She said she did believe in an afterlife. He
asked if there was a minister with whom she would like to
discuss these things. She said "No, I talk to my pets about
these things." She stated that she really wasn't too
worried about it and she knew she would live on. She
knew she would be all right in the afterlife. She said "I
think the afterlife will be better than this life has been for
the past year and a half" One week prior, I could not have
imagined there would be a hospice doctor in our home
inviting such deep inquiry into these questions about life
and the afterlife.

Just seven days later, we were down to the last few days
with our daughter on this physical plane. She was lying in
her bed in the middle of our living room. We had done as
many "last time" activities in the previous week as she
could physically manage Her beautiful body was weak-
ening, fluid was accumulating in her abdomen and the
swelling in her legs was worsening by the hour. She had a
last ride on her horse, spent time with her Australian
Shep- herd dog, saw a few friends, spent lots of time
loving her cats, swam with a dolphin, and went to the
horse races in a limousine. She thoroughly enjoyed each
moment of each activity, truly living each moment to its
fullest potential as

01/03/23, 17:01 - Maya Rawal: she had her whole life. She
had truly lived every day of her life demonstrating the
Shakespeare quote "To thine own self be true."

Sarah's last request was to go blonde. Her hair had been

beautiful long golden blonde prior to losing it all due to
chemotherapy. She now had short regrown hair, which
was much darker than her natural hair. Though Sarah's
half sister, Becky, was quite hesitant, as she didn't want
to cause her any more pain, she is a hair stylist and she
could do it. A few hours later, when Sarah looked in the
mirror and saw her beautiful blonde hair, she was
ecstatic. "I love it!" and the happy glow in her face
remained for the rest of the day. It struck me that she was
being a perfectly normal teenager She wanted her hair the
way she wanted it when she passed over to the other side.
Instead of prepping for prom as other

girls her age, she was preparing for her passing. Over the
next couple of days, there were fewer periods of
consciousness. The veil was thinning more and more each
day. It was becoming difficult to discern which dimen-
sion I was operating from and where she was. The "other
side" was palpable. The pathway was being cleared.
Sometimes, she would want us to read to her or watch a
movie with her or sing a song to her Other times, she
would want it quiet and if guests were over, she seemed
bothered by the conversations as though they were very
loud to her. She was getting hyper-sensitive. It was
obvious she was communicating with other dimensions
and prep- arations were being made for her transition.

It seemed that all we could do was hold an energetic

01/03/23, 17:01 - Maya Rawal: space of unconditional love,

nurturing, allowance, safety, and permission for her to do
whatever she needed and de- sired to do. We did our best
one hour at a time. One of us, my husband or I, was in the
room with her at all times, offering her our presence, our
love and anything else she might request verbally or
energetically.

At some point in that last week, we gave up fighting what

was going on, we stopped arguing with God, and we let go
of trying to negotiate. We had to give up trying to control
that which we could not control. We gave up the self-
abuse, trying to figure out why this was happening to us
and to our daughter. We gave up being a victim to God.
This was the surrender moment when we relaxed into the
flow of the Divine, knowing that the Divine was always
pre- sent for us and for her. We asked for assistance in
being present for our daughter, totally 100 percent present
and aware. It seemed that was all we could do. We asked
to be shown the beauty and grace in the situation. We
asked to be able to receive the gift that we had in these
last days with our daughter
There was a palpable sense yet transcendent state of
peace and profound grace in the room. The veil was
getting thinner by the hour now, even thinner by the
minute. "Am I ready? Is she ready?" I wondered. "Have I
said all that I want to say? Has she said all that she
desires to say?"

It was her last night and I knew it. I sang songs to her -all
the ones we had sung together in the many months in
hospital rooms. "Michael Row the Boat Ashore," "Kum Ba
Ya," "The River, She is Flowing," This Little Light of Mine,"
"I

01/03/23, 17:01 - Maya Rawal: Am as God Created Me." I

squeezed her hand, relieved to feel its warmth. I kissed
her cheeks, remembering how much our tears had been
mixing as if creating a very strange and bittersweet soup
over the past 12 days since we have been home. I held her
as tight as it felt comfortable for both of us, not wanting to
cause her more pain in her fragile body. I wanted to let her
go if it was time, but I didn't want to let her go. I lay
beside her in her bed. I massaged her back. I was floating
in and out of consciousness too. Don was on the floor next
to us, joining in the singing intermittently. I asked him to
say the 23rd Psalm. He says it like no one else. It is truly a
beautiful poem or divine dance when it flows from his
body as he embodies it on a cellular level. We were
walking through the valley of the shadow of death right
then and there. The veil then disappeared completely. I
heard Sarah say energetically, "I must go now. Things are
all set for me. It is my time. Thank you. I truly had the best
time ever in this dimension. You gave me your all and I am
eternally grateful. It has been a fun ride. I am ready. I go
now in peace." Her eyes opened one last time, then closed
slowly as a smile appeared on her face with her last
exhale. Sarah showed us the love and bright light of Divine
Essence in her smile as she passed. She seemed to be
saying, "It had to turn out this way. Thank you for keeping
me safe and for holding this beautiful, peaceful place for
me to take this next step. I

am free. Thank You." She knew we were hurting in our

hearts and souls so deeply. We held her in love and grace,
knowing she was

01/03/23, 17:02 - Maya Rawal: safe and totally embraced

by the Divine. Don and I held her body tight and held each
other as we watched her as spirit gather herself up and
move upward into the bright light She was returning to the
purity of her own Divine Light. It had always been easy for
her to be herself. She never put on airs of trying to be
anybody but herself. That was a power- ful gift she gave to
all who encountered her. She was now taking this to an
even higher level, and we were honored to watch the
beautiful, capable spirit she was as she gathered her
vibrational energy up so gracefully and peacefully. Was
this the demonstration we were to receive? Was this what
we had been praying for, unknowingly? I knew she was
safe and was being greeted by angels and guides. We
could feel their powerful, palpable, peaceful presence. The
gates of heaven were open, and Sarah joyfully rode a
beautiful white unicorn through the gates of heaven with
long, flowing, an- gelic blonde hair blowing in the winds of
heaven. She never looked back.
Just an hour later, the sun was just starting to rise. I went
out to our backyard where we have a beautiful view to the
east of the sunrise. I sat in a comfortable chair and
allowed myself to deeply feel the pain and grief. It flowed
out easily from all the cells of my body. I watched the
breathtaking sun rise slowly. It seemed paradoxical that
my daughter had just taken her last breath, which is
thought to be the sunset of our lives, and now I was
watching this majestic sunrise. I knew that Life would go
on but my life would never be the same. Anybody who had
the opportun ity to know Sarah would never be the same,
because she had

01/03/23, 17:02 - Maya Rawal: such a profound effect on

those who were lucky enough to know her. The sunrise
was beautiful with so many vibrant colors, and it did seem
to be offering some hope for the next chapter of my life. I
was enjoying the image of Sarah riding her white unicorn
through the gates of heaven and feeling gratitude that her
painful struggle with her body was over. Although I knew I
would miss her on this plane, there was relief in knowing
there would be no more discussions about CT results,
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or nasogastric tubes.

After fully enjoying and breathing in the sunrise, we

decided it was time to call hospice and inform them of
Sarah's transition. We were not eager for the flurry of
events that was bound to follow. We were appreciating
the quiet heavenly peace that was in the room with her
body. The only sound was from the birds who seemed to
be sing- ing a welcome to heaven, a divine melody. We
knew the call was necessary and would never get any
easier
The hospice nurse arrived shortly after the call was made.
She offered hugs and condolences. She then ex- plained
she did have a checklist of steps to go through as she
opened up her laptop. The sacredness of the time ended
when the laptop opened. At that point, the divine,
heavenly melody stopped and we were fully operating in
the physical dimension. She asked if we had thought
about what we de sired to do with the body. I had another
meltdown. I cried out "That is not just a body. That body
was the sanctuary through which the divine spirit of my
beautiful 15-year-old daughter expressed herself. Let's
treat this beautiful body

01/03/23, 17:02 - Maya Rawal: like you would a chapel or

sacred ground. Let's continue to

love her, hold her in the energy of love, peace, joy,

harmony

and honor the precious gift she is." The rest of the day
was a blur. Some very nice gentle- men dressed in black
came to pick up "the body." I couldn't watch. I retreated
to my bedroom and cried and wailed for the rest of the
day. My friend, Lynne, came by to see if there was
anything she could do to ease the pain. She gently mas-
saged my feet, listened to my cries and then decided to
take us to the beach to watch the sunset that evening. It
seemed appropriate after the beautiful sunrise that day to
take in the sunset also. With that sunset, I was aware that
we were letting go of many hopes and dreams we had for
our daughter on this physical plane. She was no longer
suffer- ing in this physical dimension, and we could feel
her spirit flying with the butterflies at the beach. There
were even dolphins swimming joyfully not too far from the
shore. The many shades of pink, orange and gold in the
sunset were indeed a reminder that the Divine is truly with
us always and in all ways, vibrating in every cell of our
bodies, hearts, minds and souls. Sarah was present with
us, reassuring us through the dolphins that she was doing
well and that someday our joy would return.

Top Ten Lessons from SARAH

(who is not really dead, just riding unicorns

on the "other side")

This communication and inspiration has come to me from

Sarah since her transformation to the other side on

01/03/23, 17:05 - Maya Rawal: August 26, 2014 Please

know that I offer this to inspire and uplift-not to stir up any
debate or controversy. If they do not resonate for you, just
let it go.

1. Death is nothing to be afraid of There is only infinite

love, infinite space, infinite grace, infinite peace. People
seem so afraid of death, but that's very strange since
there is no death to spirit. Sarah says she prefers to think
of it as transformation Spirit just transforms into a
different vibration. Death happens only to the body. We are
all eternal beings. There really is no such thing as death in
Spirit world. They are transformations and they are beau-
tiful. Like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, souls
are transforming in an upward spiral. The natural state of
energy is always moving, changing, transforming, vibrat-
ing. That is the nature of the universe: growth, expansion,
evolution.

2. Surrender is when you let go of all barriers, agendas,

pain and expectations and feel the divine loving essence
which flows through all of us always. Life is a beautiful
blending of creating your reality

through focusing your thoughts and feelings on those cre-

ations you desire while at the same time surrendering to
the Divine. Divine Source is the director of this symphony
in which we live and move and have our being. When we
surrender into Divine will and give up attempts to control
that which we cannot control, we live in a sense of peace-
ful expansiveness, knowing that all is unfolding just as it
is supposed to. We are always loved by the Divine. Life is
a

01/03/23, 17:05 - Maya Rawal: combination of free will and

some things that are predes- tined. We do have choices in
how to respond to some of the predestined events, but we
can't just delete them from our script. We are capable,
creative beings who imagine and create these events,
circumstances, people in our lives to facilitate our
greatest growth and expansion and return to the Oneness
in Source we truly all are. It's like the return to the Garden
of Eden or the return of the Prodigal Son to the Father. All
is truly well.

3. When I asked Sarah, "What do I have to do to be 'done'

on this dimension so I can join you?" she told me ! must
learn to nurture myself, love myself unconditionally and
treat myself as well as I did her. This is a tall order for any
parent-to learn to love and nurture themselves as much as
they do their children.

4. This Thinning of the Veil/State of Grace which was

revealed to us in the last week with Sarah is available to
us every day-not just at birth and death. It is in that space
be- tween the molecules where you find yourself as an
infinite being and you access all you be and truly be you. It
is in that space between the notes in music or in that
space between the words in language. Look there and you
will find your- self in your true essence and that raw
creative divine poten- tial energy.

This could be called creating from the dimension of

infinite possibility and in connection with Divine. From
there, you surrender into the potency of this raw creative
energy. The consciousness, the energy, the space
between

01/03/23, 17:05 - Maya Rawal: the molecules, this state of

living grace is more "real" than the physical body,
according to Sarah

5. The pathway to this space between the molecules is in

your heart. Go deep into your heart and then ask to be
shown this space between the molecules where Divine
Con- sciousness is. It is available all of the time.

The freedom we are seeking is to be able to consciously

choose how to direct our life force energy. We incarnate in
bodies to experience these situations which facilitate our
return back to our oneness with the Divine Source
Creator, or, in other words, our return to the Divine Love
we truly be

6. Look forward, not backwards. Just like when one rides

a horse, you look forward in the direction you want the
horse to go. It is like you are riding the universe. You look
in the direction you want to go and the universe will take
you there if you keep your focus there. We can ride the
ocean like waves of creative life force energy as it
emanates from source, feeling the pulse of source as it
flows through us, and with just a gentle easy slight turn of
our head, we can direct the energetic flows from the
universe toward our desires. We can then request of the
universe to flow en- ergy towards that creation and we
just keep looking in that direction.

7. Know that you are always connected to the Divine.

When we are arguing with God, attempting to negotiate
and control God, telling God how it's going to be, we are
closing ourselves off, like pinching a water hose, but un-
pinch the water hose and we feel the flow of the connec-

01/03/23, 17:05 - Maya Rawal: tion again. It is normal to be

angry and frustrated when things are not going exactly
how you desire. Just know that everything that is
unfolding around you is here to assist you in your highest
growth and expansion and evolution, even if it hurts. Know
that everything that is happening is somehow a catalyst
for your highest growth, expansion and evolution. Ask the
universe to show you how this is helping you evolve and to
show you the state of grace be- neath it and it will be
revealed.

8. Judgment and self-judgment cut you off from the Divine.

If one surrenders into the Divine, beneath the dens- ity of
the physical plane, one can feel into the divine essence
that is always flowing, untethered to anything in physical
dimension. There are a lot of people learning about judg-
ment and competition on this planet. If people would just
lay down all their fears and weapons, drop all their
barriers and protective measures, people would be able to
see every- one as the light of spirit they truly be. Then
everyone would be able to step into the space of
allowance of everything with no judgment.

Competition or comparison energy is a destructive game

on the planet that arises out of insecurity or sep- aration
from the Divine. Everyone's unique essence is their own
vibration, mathematical equation or musical note. Horses
do not compare themselves to each other. They are each
beautiful in their own way. People could learn this from
animals.

9. All of nature on the beautiful planet Earth wants to

01/03/23, 17:06 - Maya Rawal: nurture you. Nature truly is

like a spa. Allow yourself to in- dulge in the spa. Receive
the communication and uncondi- tional love which the
oceans, trees, plants, and animals are offering you on the
planet-they are all expressions of God, like you are. It is
challenging to cope with the roughness of the people who
have forgotten who they are, when they are trying
desperately to remember their own potency and greatness
yet feel like they are getting farther and farther away.
Allow them to be where they are. The quickest way to
reconnect with the Divine when you feel separate is to go
into nature with an open heart.

10. Follow your heart always. It always knows the truth.

The innocence within your heart will always guide you to
the next best choice for you. You do always have a choice
in how to respond. If you choose anger, resentment,
bitterness, you move further away from who you truly be
and the Divine. If you choose gratitude, compassion,
peace, love, you move into more of who you truly be and
you are connected more clearly to the Divine.

Surrendering to the Divine This journey was about

Surrendering to the Divine. Somewhere in the midst of our
authentic allowing of our true feelings and the
acknowledgement that what was going on was bigger
than all of us and out of our con- trol, the calm wave of
surrender settled into our living room. An angelic state of
grace transcended everything on the physical plane. There
was a state of peace like we had not felt in 20 months
right there in our living room. In that

01/03/23, 17:06 - Maya Rawal: state of peace and grace,

we knew that divine order was indeed at work, that all
was unfolding just as it was sup- posed to, and all we
could do was drop our barriers down and let go of our
attempts to understand "why" and just receive the grace
and peace that was present for us. After relaxing into this
state of grace and peace, we all felt recon- nected to the
Divine and could actually see, feel and know that eternal
nature of each of us. The divine light was in the house,
revealing more and more light. I was reminded of one of
my favorite sayings from Ram Dass: "We are all just
walking each other home." As painful and torturous as this
has been, it was indeed an honor and privilege to walk my
daughter home.

If you have a chance to be with a friend or family mem- ber

who is nearing the end of their walk home, I encourage
you to offer your presence. The gifts they will offer you
cannot be purchased. What you will learn about yourself is
priceless. You will be forever changed and truly experi-
ence that rich juicy nectar of life. In the untethering of the
soul as it prepares to leave this plane, there is freedom,,
innocence, peace, purity, beauty, and grace. I have
learned nothing is more important than being present in
your life for you and for your family and friends. When you
are pre- sent, you can actually feel that space of peace
and grace and the love of the Divine. I seek that deeper
experience of the Divine every day, and I wish it for all
human beings on this planet.

A Closing Poem from Sarah:

01/03/23, 17:07 - Maya Rawal: I love you Momma,

You are so brave and strong.

I Am with you always, Nothing is ever wrong.

Cowgirl UP and fully live your life, Keep eyes forward and
take a deep breath
Enjoy the beauty and adventure in each Please remember
there is no death. day,

You will learn again to trust the Divine, Who did not seem
to answer your desperate plea,

Quiet your mind, sink into your heart, feel the Divine

Love.

As infinite as the waves in the sea.

Swim in this Love always, Feel into its peaceful essence,

Release the pain, receive this Love,

From here, you know you are Divine Presence.

Linda S. Evans, MA, has taught meditation and energy

healing specializing in women's intuition and self-healing
since 1991. In 1999 Linda and her husband, Don, founded a
sanctuary for the celebration of spirit called The Earth and
Sky Church. In that setting, they provided energy counsel-
ings, meditation and healing classes, sweat lodges and vi-
sion quests with the primary goal of creating a safe space
for people to learn about who they are as spiritual beings.
The training they offered allowed students to discover
their own gifts and talents, empowering them to bring
their gifts to the world and express them fully.

With all of this education, training and experience, Linda

still felt unequipped to handle the deep soul pain and
trauma of having her 13-year-old daughter diagnosed with
an unusual form of cancer. It was truly time to put "the
rub- ber to the road" and apply all her spiritual tools and
infor- mation to facilitate growth and healing for herself
and her family. She is still processing, integrating and
uncovering

01/03/23, 17:08 - Maya Rawal: the gift in "strange wrapping

Linda humbly offers her experience in this book The

Energy of Spirit with hope that you will find inspiration in
knowing that no matter how huge and difficult the moun
tain that you are facing is, or how dark and painful the
valley, there is a Divine Spirit, God, Source, Light, Love in
you, around you, emanating through you. If we just
breathe this Love in and allow ourselves to receive from
this Source, our next step is revealed and healing can
occur. Although it may not always turn out the way we
would prefer, we are always held in the embrace of this
Divine Spirit, Love, and Grace and it is always moving us
forward in the direction of our highest growth, expansion
and evolution.

What is Spirit?

By Kim Malama Lucien

What is the definition of spirit? What does it mean to you?

Do you think it means the same thing to everyone? I'm
gonna go out on a limb and say that every single person
who hears the word spirit has a different definition of what
it means. The current Merriam-Webster's dictionary
definition is: the force within a person that is believed to
give the body

life, energy, and power, the inner quality or nature of a

per-

son, a person.

The definition from the New Universities Dictionary ©1925

is: The soul; the intelligent, immaterial, immortal part of a
man, life, disembodied soul, apparition, courage,
energy, vivacity; power of mind, moral essence. Those are
just the short versions of the definitions and

there are more than 10 different meanings So I ask again:

What does spirit mean to you? There is no right or wrong
answer. In fact the definitions above are a crazy small
snapshot of a very long list of meanings that currently
exist on the planet. Identifying what spirit means to you is
useful, or important, only because getting clear on what it
is to you will start you on the path of discovering how it
functions in your life, how you interact with it, how

01/03/23, 17:09 - Maya Rawal: you create with it and open

the pathways, doorways, canals, channels, and currents
to expanding and growing the pres- ence of spirit in your
life and living. It is the first step on your journey in
creating a mutually contributive relation- ship with spirit.
This is the way to begin co-creating your life with spirit,
not for it, not because of it, not in spite of it, but with it.

What?! How do I do that? you wonder. I wonder this: What

would your life be like on this planet, how would it be
different, if you created with spirit and asked it to contrib-
ute to you?

You're reading this book so you've spent at least some

time wondering or questioning what spirit is or isn't.
Would you be willing to ask yourself, what is true for me?
Did you know that what is true for you is not necessarily
what is true for me? Asking this one question, what is true
for me, about any topic, but certainly this one, can totally
transform your life. Would you be willing to take a look?
Would you be willing to ask a different question? Would
you be willing to consider a different point of view? One
that lots of people might say is crazy, even?

For me personally, my definition of spirit has changed a lot

over the years. When I was young, I either didn't think
about it, or just knew what the various religions I'd visited
told me. I knew even as young as age six or seven, that
what people were telling me was true, wasn't true for me.
There were many things said and done that I knew weren't
true, many mistreatments that bordered on abuse, too
many to get into here. Looking back I would say that
overall I always

01/03/23, 17:11 - Maya Rawal: sensed, and was aware of,

the profound judgment of others in those religions,
judgment used to make God and the churches Right and
everyone else Wrong. This just did not compute for me.
Those aren't the words I used to describe it then, if I even
talked about what I knew out loud, but it is accurate. I just
knew their point of view was not my point of view and it
was not true for me.

As I moved into my teen years, I was, truth be told, more

interested in my teenage life-swimming, fashion, makeup
and boys-than in thinking very much about spirit or
anything spiritual. But I'm going to say at that point I
probably leaned far more towards one of two things: 1)
Spirit was what overzealous religious people talked about,
or 2) Spirit must be ghosts or something like that! It
wasn't until I reached my early twenties that I really
started to ask questions about the universe and spirit.
So I started my quest to find out what was true for me. I
was pretty clear that there had to be more than this one
life, this one body, and then poof, nothing. I didn't believe
in the concept of heaven and hell, I didn't believe in god,
but I knew there was definitely something more out there,
some- thing greater that was controlling or contributing to
what was going on in my life and on the planet. The first
thing I started doing was to be totally open and willing to
ask questions. To be aware of what I knew, acknowledge
it and to choose based on that. Choice creates awareness.
Asking questions creates awareness. More awareness
creates more

choice; it's like a never-ending cycle. Ask a question, get

awareness, choose, get more aware-

01/03/23, 17:12 - Maya Rawal: ness, ask another question,

choose, and so on and so on And so off I was running
headlong into my quest to find the meaning of life! Ha, ha,
I'm making a bit of a joke there, but only a little. It's not as
significant as that makes it sound, but the quest did well
and truly change my life and who I was, who I was willing
to be. At this point I was still making spirit or spirits
something really significant and definitely something that
was greater than me, knew more than me and was for
sure more powerful than me. I studied all kinds of things.
Just to name a few I studied Paganism, Wicca, Goddess
energy, Anthony Robbins, Judaism and all kinds of
spiritual and metaphysical modalities. I saw psychics and
mediums off and on for over a decade. My search ran the
gamut; I was willing to look anywhere there was a kernel
of something that made sense to me. Along the way I
picked up a lot of interesting tools for my toolbox all of
which I still use when coaching and facilitating people and
companies. They have been and continue to be a great
contribution to my life. Still unsatisfied and certain there
was more infor- mation, I kept searching.

The next stop Hawaii! Deep within I have always had a

love and connection with Hawaii and the Hawaiian Is-
lands. I began dancing the hula in my early twenties.
Some- thing about the hula and the way the music and
language moved in my body woke something deep in my
soul. I love the land (aina), I love the ancient culture, and I
love the relationship with the aina and kai (sea). I knew
with all of my being that there was something big here for
me. And so I was correct. This is where I made the most
substantial

01/03/23, 17:12 - Maya Rawal: change to my definition and

understanding of spirit I spent a long time studying
ancient, pre-contact Ha- waiian spirituality, eventually
being initiated by a Kahuna as a Kaula, which is a type of
Hawaiian priest. During this time I still defined spirit as
something outside of me, more powerful than me, but also
something that was there to guide me if I was willing to
receive it. It is the source energy of this reality. I also
clarified a difference between spirit and spirits. Spirits are
people who have passed, guides and other disembodied
beings that are all around us. Hawai- ians, like many
ancient native cultures, believe that every- thing is
connected, that we are 'all one' Pre-12th century
Hawaiians lived in total communion with the earth, the
oceans, the water, each other, the animals, everything. In
essence, spirit, the 'source' energy, is everywhere, it is in
everything, and it is in everyone, there is no separation.
There is a saying that made this so clear to me. Maybe be-
cause it's kind of funny that it stands out.
They have a saying when someone dies. They didn't die,
they just changed addresses. The spirit, the being, it never
dies, it just changes addresses. It is off on a new
adventure, albeit not in that body anymore, and they are
around and available to us. Hawaiians include their ances-
tors that have passed in their lives, talking to them,
contrib- uting to them and asking them for contribution.
Learning this changed what I was willing to know, and this
is when I really started to acknowledge the spirits,
entities, beings (call them by the name that works for you)
that are all around and always with us. This change in
perspective and

01/03/23, 17:13 - Maya Rawal: awareness allowed me to

communicate and receive from them.

Ancient Hawaiians also believe that EVERYTHING is made

of energy, that everything has mana. That was the basis
for how they interacted with everyone and every- thing.
They asked the plants to provide enough food to nourish
them. They asked the fish that wanted to feed them to
swim into their nets. They asked the tree if it would like to
become part of their hale, or their canoe. They asked the
rocks, "Would you like to be part of the heiau, or the wall
of the fish pond?" and on, and on, and on. They hon- ored
and acknowledged the energy in everything. Living this
way created peace and ease and joy in their living. They
contributed to the energies all around and within them,
and it simultaneously contributed to them in return. Once
again, a new piece of information and my whole point of
view changed. I now knew how I'd like to live my life.
What do I know to be true for me now? Spirit is energy.
The Universe is spirit, it is energy. Everything is entirely
made up of energy and can take an unlimited number of
shapes and forms. It shows up in all kinds of different and
interesting ways. Everything is alive with energy. There is
no longer a hard-lined delineation between spirit, spirits,
being, beings, etc. It is a much more fluid interaction for
me. This remains my definition of spirit today for the most
part. Some other changes; I don't make spirit significant, I
do not think it knows more than me, knows better than me
or can choose better for me.

At this point I thought, right, I've figured it out. I'm all

01/03/23, 17:13 - Maya Rawal: good. Then some time

passed and still I found myself won- dering, what now? I
was happy, my life was good, based on the constructs and
points of view of this reality, and still I knew there must
be more for me to discover. I knew that more was
possible. I didn't know how or have the tools to work with
spirit in a way that could get me to that next place. So,
after asking more questions about spirit and ask- ing spirit
to guide me, to 'have my back' so to speak, the Universe
and spirit always have your back if you are will- ing to
receive it. I found the tools of Access Consciousness
founded by Gary Douglas and co-created by Dr. Dain Heer.

Finally I found the practical tools I'd been looking for, the
tools that allowed me to co-create my life and living with
spirit. Pragmatic tools that actually work, you simply have
to use them. I use them to create not only the life and
living I desire, but to change those things that don't work
for me. The motto is "Empowering people to know that
they know."

What?! You mean I already know everything I need to

know? Whatever! I don't think so! Oh, you mean I do know,
I just haven't been willing to acknowledge it?! Oops!
Freedom showed up in my life with that one little piece of
information! Suddenly I knew everything I was, everything
that had been; it was all created by me and therefore
could be changed by ME! The lightness that showed up in
my world, well there aren't actually words to describe it
To go along with that mind-blowing point of view, here's
another zinger! Your point of view creates your reality;
your real- ity does not create your point of view! Hearing
these two

01/03/23, 17:13 - Maya Rawal: things, what does that

change for you? Anything? Some- thing? Nothing? Not at
the moment, you need more time to analyze and consider?
I'm crazy, that is not how it works? That's cool! There is
no right. There is no wrong. What is true for you and how it
wants to be in your life will be clear to you when it is clear
to you. You get it when you get it! How does it get any
better than that? Would you be willing to consider a
different possibility?

For the purposes of this conversation I'm going to carry on

as though you said YES! Maybe that rocked your world or
you need to know more. To start, I ask you this: Now that
you have acknowledged that spirit is energy, that it is
everywhere, that it is everything, that it is not more than
you, that you know that you know and have just been
refus- ing to perceive, know, be and receive it,
acknowledging all of that what else is possible now?

Woo hoo! We are getting into the meaty, juicy bits! Tada!
You are willing to acknowledge spirit. You have a
willingness to perceive, know, be and receive spirit. What
can you create differently? How do you create with that
information? Spirit is all the things I have said so far and
so much more, really I have barely scratched the surface.
Would you be willing to perceive, know, be and receive the
dynamic contribution that spirit can be in your life and
living? Will you invite it to your party? Are you willing to
know how it can nourish you, your body and your being?
Will you ask it to contribute to you? Would you be willing
to contribute to it in return?

Are all of these questions, and anything else that has

01/03/23, 17:14 - Maya Rawal: come before so far, bringing

up all kinds of weird and wonky energies in your universe?
Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know? Would you be willing to
destroy and uncreate all of those energies, all the
weirdness and wonkiness? Yes?! When I ask this and you
say yes, we go to the point of creation and the point of
destruction, to undo all the limit- ing aspects of those
energies, the ones that lock you into place and make
change incredibly difficult, even feel impos- sible. You are
not destroying anything other than the crazy limitation you
have locked into place in some lifetime. You are
destroying the limitations that you, your being, your spirit,
locked into place at some point. Limitations? No thanks!
Totally happy to destroy them, kick them to the curb! So
let's try it again! Would you like to destroy and uncreate,
all the limiting beliefs, energies, limitations, definitions,
judgments, conclusions, computations, projec tions,
expectations, separations, judgments and rejections of
spirit, what it is, what it isn't, that you have locked into
place in any time, space, place, dimension or reality? Des-
troy and uncreate it all now please! Thank you!

Do you sense or perceive more space, more peace, and

more lightness in your being? In your body? Sometimes
our awareness, especially when we are looking at it from
a new perspective, has a feather light touch. So let me
just tell you that I know for sure, that somewhere, on
some level, your willingness to destroy and uncreate all
that, has changed something and contributed to the
creation of a new possi- bility. There is a lightness that
was not there before, even if you don't think you perceive
it. Be patient and allow it to

01/03/23, 17:14 - Maya Rawal: show up, to show itself to

you. It will if you are willing to have it. Be on the lookout
for it. Ask the Universe to show you in a way that you can
easily understand.

Ok, so what does all this mean? Knowing what you know
now, how do you apply all of this information to your life?
What is required to create a more dynamic relation- ship
with spirit? There are so many ways. We really are just
barely scratching the surface here. And, we all need a
place to start, to take that first step, and then another Or
to say it another way, choose, then choose again, and so
on, and so on.
I'm going to give you three simple tools. These tools I
learned from Access Consciousness. I am certain, without
a shadow of a doubt, that if you use these tools, even
some of the time, they will change your life. These tools
can be used in any area of your life, with any topic, any
subject, any issue or challenge. Since we are talking
about spirit, we'll use them with that in mind. You can use
them in the order presented, you can use one of them, all
of them, or any com- bination of them. There is no right.
There is no wrong. Try it out, figure out what works for
you.

Tool #1: Ask a question!

In any situation, with any problem. Ask an actual ques-

tion, not a conclusion with a question mark attached. You
have to really ask from a place of wonder I wonder, what
else is possible with ? Be aware of the energy you have
with the asking, if you ask as if you already know the
answer, it doesn't work so well. Ask, and then listen, be
aware of what you know, what you become aware of after

01/03/23, 17:14 - Maya Rawal: asking, a lot of times it's

just an energy. Here are some sug-

gestions to get you started Spirit, what contribution can I

be to you today? What contribution can you be to me?

What else is possible here I haven't considered?

Universe show me something beautiful today. (This is a

fun one that just makes your day more joyful-I ask every

day)

These are by no means the only questions; you can make

up any yourself. Play with it. Use it. Ask a question, when
something great happens, when something crappy
happens. Ask a question. Be aware of what changes. The
more you do it, they better you get at it.

Tool #2: What is light is true, what is heavy is a lie.

You have all experienced this even if you think you

haven't. When you ask a question, and then are aware of
or perceive the energy that shows up, if it feels light, it is
true for you. If it is heavy it is a lie, or not true for you.

This shows up a lot of different ways. For me it's differ-

ent based on what I am asking. Sometimes when its light,
the air in the room feels lighter, or it feels like someone
took 100 pounds off my shoulders I didn't know was there.
If it is heavy, sometimes there is a visceral twist in my
solar plexus; sometimes it feels like someone buried me in
concrete up to my waist, sometimes it feels heavy over
my head, sometimes it is hard to take a proper deep
breath. Sometimes I just know and I don't 'feel' anything, I
just per- ceive the lightness or heaviness.

01/03/23, 17:16 - Maya Rawal: Ask, be aware, and practice.

The more you do it the more you will be clear on how it
works for you. You've got to build your knowing muscle. It
is almost NEVER cognitive, it is energetic, be willing to
sense, perceive and receive it.

Tool #3: Live in 10-second increments.

How do you do that? Is it even possible? This does not

com- pute! Well to be honest, it didn't compute for me for a
long time. I was pretty slow at 'getting' this one!

Living in 10-second increments is actually about choice.

Choice creates. Choice trumps everything, every process,
every clearing, every anything you could do to change a
problem, to change anything, it comes down to choice. At
the basic level you have to CHOOSE to change, choose to
be, choose to stay the same. You have to choose. Do you
recognize that even NOT choosing is actually a choice?!
Choosing is the fastest path to creating what you desire.

So living in 10-second increments is about acknow-

ledging that you have infinite choice. No choices are right,
no choices are wrong. They are just a choice and every 10
seconds you get to make another one. It is designed to get
you to acknowledge that you always have choice. No mat
ter the situation, somewhere in it you have choice. That
does not mean you will always like the choices but no
mat- ter what you have choice. Everything that's occurring
can be changed. There is another choice. Choose, and
choose again, and choose again, and so on...
Play with this, see how it works for you.

01/03/23, 17:17 - Maya Rawal: That's it, those are the

magic wands to start creating a new relationship with
spirit.

Clarity

To get clarity on what spirit means to you. To know how

you'd like it to function in your life. To invite its con-
tribution into your life. To begin creating with spirit! Good
Luck! Have Fun! Get ready for the ride of your life!

P.S. I tricked you just a little bit, there are more than

three tools in here. Read it again and see if you can pick
out

some of the others.

The Magic of Spirit-

How it can Nourish YOU

By Andy Pentecost

Since Dr. Wayne Dyer's passing, he has come to me in my

meditations, and also comes to talk with me when I am in
a quiet space. I have been asking him questions about my
own life and some of the challenges I have been facing re-
garding conversing with spirit.

Conversing with spirit is something I have done for many

years, although at the beginning I didn't realise this is
what I was doing. For awhile I thought I was going nuts.
Then I resisted it like crazy because I didn't want to be
one of THOSE people. I was pretty judgmental, and that
was based on what I had seen a relative go through when
I was a kid. After a marriage breakup, I didn't want to be
weird anymore. I mean how was I supposed to meet a nice
man, if I continued do all this weird stuff like talk to dead
people and to animals? I just wanted to be normal.
So I closed all the weird stuff off and got a normal job.
After a few months, I soon realised NORMAL wasn't me.
Whose definition and judgment was NORMAL anyway? I
wasn't being true to me, and I couldn't hold it in anymore I
was trying to fit in and blend in-however I was dying in-

01/03/23, 17:19 - Maya Rawal: side and I wasn't doing what

I was put here to do.

I was re-inspired to doing Healing, Access Conscious-

ness, Massage and as time went on added Intuitive Life
Coaching, Healing, Animal Communication, and House
Blessings, along with readings.

I did meet a nice man who loves me as I am, supports that

I can do these things and encourages me to be all of who I
am. When I walk into a mall, it is not only the living people

I am dealing with and everything going on in their heads, I

also pick up on entities or spirits who have become lost
between here and heaven. I have been asking for tools to
help me with this and the best answers come from spirit.
They have taught me to put a shield around myself that is
flexible so it can move with my energy. It allows positivity
in and keeps negativity out. It has enabled me to stay
clear, and when I feel that there is someone in my space, I
can ask them to step back so that I can talk to them.

The first experience was shortly after I had begun using

this technique. I was talking to a girlfriend on the phone
and running a clearing with her. I finished the con-
versation and it felt like there was something sitting on
my head (this is one of my cues that lets me know there is
an entity around, or so I thought). I was getting a little
grumpy because this new tool wasn't working. So I
stopped myself and asked, "OK, is my shield still intact?" I
received a clear 'yes' "Alright, if it's intact then what is
this? OK, whoever you are you need to step outside of me,
so that I can talk to you." It turns out it was my girlfriend's
grandmother, who

01/03/23, 17:21 - Maya Rawal: had a message for her. I

rang her back, and the message was

exactly what she needed to hear.

This is one way in which spirit nourishes us. When we are

down or asking questions, they love to contribute to us
and let us know they are there. Sometimes they will
suggest different actions to take to get us where we are
asking to go. Or opportunities will appear for us to follow,
this is why it is important to watch for signs.

When you ask for guidance, you create an energy, and

when an opportunity that is vibrationally similar to what
you have asked for arises, it will have a similar energy,
this is the time to follow the energy,

I converse with and ask Archangel Michael, Jesus, Arch-

angel Raphael and my guides and angels for assistance
and guidance. Since his passing I have also been
conversing with Dr. Wayne Dyer.
The next part of this chapter 1 received when I asked for
information from the spirit energy of Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Spirit can nourish you in so many ways, if you are willing

to listen in a whole different way and to follow our
guidance. As you come to know and trust us, your
guidance will become clearer, easier to follow and make
more sense The more you trust, the clearer it becomes.

Spirit is only a space away. Think of a loved one who has

passed over. Ask them about something that you are
struggling with presently. Close your eyes for a moment, if
they were standing beside you right now, what would they
say? What words of wisdom would they gift you? What did
you hear? Did you receive an awareness, was it your voice

01/03/23, 17:21 - Maya Rawal: that you heard or your loved

ones? Did you have a sensation run through your body?
Don't worry if it doesn't feel like you have received
anything. Spirit gets messages to you in all sorts of ways,
when you are open and on the lookout or watching for
signs.

What does it mean to be on the lookout or watching for

signs? If your loved one's favourite song is playing on the
radio, it is confirmation that they are there. It might be
that you go past a shop, and think, "Oh, I remember going
to that ice-cream shop with my Gran." You may smell their
favourite scent. You may remember something you did to-
gether. All of these little signs are spirit's way of letting
you know that we are there, that we love you, that we
have your back and your best interests at heart.
It is hard to put into words the space between you and
spirit. It is as though we are right next to you, however
you. can't see us. You may well be able to feel us and at
times even hear or smell us or both. You may see us in
your mind's eye. This is located between your eyebrows
and is known as the third eye.

Asking us for help!

Did you know you can ask us for help? We love being of
service, although we can't help you without first being
invited. There is such a thing as free will, therefore we
can't intervene without being invited to do so.

We love being able to offer you support. We can be in

many places at once so never be concerned you are
taking us away from someone else. The beauty of being in
spirit is that we can be in New Zealand and the United
States or

01/03/23, 17:21 - Maya Rawal: Maui all at the same time.

We are able to help far more people in this way than when
in a human body. In a human body, it is restricted and
constricted from how many lives that could be touched
and helped. So moving into spirit would allow me to
contribute to so much more change and growth in our
world.

There is so much underlying change and discomfort in the

world. On one hand there is technology, judgment and
underhandedness within the authorities and leaders of our
countries to gain control over people and their lives,
remov- ing free will and freedom.

On the other hand you have people who are transform- ing
and opening up to their spiritual side. Unlocking their
gifts, talents and abilities to come together to create
some- thing beautiful. To create community, love,
acceptance, oneness and support to and for one another.
In a sense it is going back to basics if you will. They are
looking for the ease and peace in amongst all of the
chaos.

People's lives these days are so full of stuff, from tech-

nology where people don't even have to converse with
each other, to being so stressed and overworked that they
over- look the real importance of BEING. They are
forgetting to take time to spend with their families. Why
are they doing what they do if not for their families?
However, what is really important for your family?
Spending time with you or the money you bring in whilst
being absent? How is that working for you? How much do
you miss out on? How happy are you doing what you do?
What you tend to think is that time is on your side.

01/03/23, 17:22 - Maya Rawal: Well I'm here to tell you that
it's not. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love my family I
knew I was ready for the next step. I knew I could help
more people where I am now. I knew I could be closer to
my family and support them in a whole different way. What
I am trying to get you to under- stand is that 75 years
passes very, very quickly. You might only be 35 or 40,
however in the blink of an eye you will be 70. Make it
count. Do the things that make you happy. If something in
your life isn't working, change it. Don't wait, do something
about it TODAY!! Because really today is all that you have.
Anything could happen between today and tomorrow that
could change everything.

There are people going through being bombed, coun- tries

at war, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and all matter of
natural disasters. This has a global impact and in turn is
affecting many countries, companies and families.

This isn't said as a scare tactic, it is said with LOVE, with

compassion and with awareness to prompt you into living
the life you wish to live. To do the things you wish to do.
To tell your loved ones how you feel about them and to do
it now. Now is the time to be grateful for what you have
and

who you are. To rejoice in the people you share your life

with. Being grateful for the great things in your life, like
your home and your community. Using the skills you have
learned and exploring anything that you may have always
wanted to do. I have met some very beautiful and
exceptional people during my lifetime and the impact they
have had on me is

01/03/23, 17:23 - Maya Rawal: immense. Make sure to

surround yourself with people who get you, people who
see the best in you, bring the best out of you and have
your best interests at heart. Have people in your life that
truly care about you and want to know what avenues you
are exploring, not just so they can tell you what they have
been doing.

Have people in your life that light you up, that excite you,
that you enjoy spending time with. You don't need to be
like them or copy them, however, notice their energy.
What is it about them that attracts you or others to them?
Whatever you do or choose, make sure you are always

in integrity and first and foremost stay true to you. Do

what lights you up, what has you feel fulfilled and excited
to get up in the morning. If you haven't done some- thing
for years that you used to do and love, then do it again and
see if it gives you the same buzz. You may have out-
grown it or you may have forgotten about it. Make sure
you take time for you to slow down and smell the roses
without the mobile phone or the laptop in tow. Take some
time to BE and get to know who you are again. You may
have forgotten or you may have always been under
someone else's wing. Take this time to be you and to
shine. The world needs you all.

Be gentle with you and, if you don't already, learn to love

and accept who you are. After all, wherever you go you
are there. Why not get to know who this amazing person is
that you call ME? You might be in for a big surprise.

All we wish for you is that you enjoy your lives and ex-
plore who you truly are.

01/03/23, 17:23 - Maya Rawal: This was given to me from

the spirit of Dr. Wayne Dyer PS. I am so proud of all my
children. Today I would like to send an especially special
message to my youngest daughter: "I am so very proud of
you. It feels like there is to be a celebration."

01/03/23, 17:24 - Maya Rawal: About the Author

Andy Pentecost

Andy Pentecost is a Transformational Life Coach, In-

tuitive, Healer of Magnitude, Animal Communicator and
Psychic.

Andy (Andrea) was born in a small town called Hawera,

one hour away from New Plymouth in New Zealand. Her

family shifted to Oparau just outside of Kawhia on the

west

coast of the North Island when she was about three and a

half.

They moved to Tirau, which is between Cambridge and

Rotorua, two weeks before she turned five. She grew up in
a dry stock farming community and could ride horses from
the time she could walk. Her schooling was in Tirau, Pu-
taruru and Matamata, which are all within 30 minutes of
each other. She never ventured far from where she grew
up and lived in Rotorua for almost 20 years. Andy met Gary
almost four years ago, and this is the

most connected she has ever felt to anyone. "He lights up

my life and supports me no matter what, and we love each

01/03/23, 17:24 - Maya Rawal: other without judgment. We

are both on the same wave- length and wish to make a
difference in the world." They moved themselves and their
businesses to Tauranga eight- een months ago and they
both love the lightness of the area. The energy and the
sea is a big draw card for Andy, as it helps her stay
connected and clear. Along with riding her motorbike
regularly, which helps keep her centred and connected.

Andy has been working within the Coaching and Nat- ural
Health fields for the past 18 years. In that time she has
found that she has learned to connect to spirit and sense
energies. This helps her to connect with your guides and
angels or people that have passed over, to pass on
messages when required, facilitate helping people to go to
the light (Sometimes people who have passed over can
get stuck between earth and heaven, especially if they
have gone quickly, in an accident, a suicide, heart attack
or anything unexpected, or there maybe something they
wish to com- plete with someone here on earth).

Through meditation and healing work Andy has learned to

connect and trust her connection more. She teaches
others to connect with their Guides and Angels, the
Universe, God or loved ones who are no longer here and to
trust their awareness.

Andy has learned many modalities over the years and

came across Access Consciousness around seven years
ago and through her own experience, knows how much it
has changed her life, those of her clients and the people
around her Access also gave her clarity around her
connection to

01/03/23, 17:24 - Maya Rawal: Spirit as she realised how

many of other people's fears,

points of view, emotions and chatter she was

experiencing

Once she realised most of it wasn't hers and she was

hear-

ing what was going on in other peoples head, it allow for

far more understanding around how sensitive she truly is.
After working with many clients over the past 18 years,
Andy has realised that it is important to balance the
Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual aspects of our
bodies and

beings. This creates peace, harmony and balance within

your lives.
Over the years Andy has diversified the modalities she
uses and now connects in and works very intuitively with
each person individually, to achieve the desired result for
the client. She has seen how our physical bodies hold
emo- tions and has developed techniques whereby she
talks to the body and soul to give it permission to release
whatever it is holding from whatever lifetime it was
locked in. This can be done in person, or via phone/Skype.

Andy's genius and passion is facilitating people to un- lock

their true potential and honour who they are, embra- cing
their gifts, talents and abilities. She loves to teach tools to
connect with spirit, enabling you to be all of who you are
She goes into further detail regarding this in her book
Angel Guidance to Connection, Strength and Magic, which
is about to be released. In this book she channels
messages from the Angels and shares with you her
journey and how she learned to connect to spirit.

Connecting To Spirit:

The Energetic Play of Self Expression

By Shirley Fieber

What is the energy of spirit? I wonder what that would be.

What does spirit even mean? Connection to the other side.
Connection to something unseen, undisclosed? What is it?
Being in allowance of inspirational connec

tion to source. What does that even look like?

What do we know, that we do not want to acknowledge

that we know, about spirit? It is multi-faceted, multi-

dimensional and inspir- ational. Everywhere you look in
this ever expanding, gen- erative place of being, doing and
having, there is a place, at space, where if we tap into, it
generates the knowing, the contribution, the inspiration
and the connection to spirit as we know it.

Then one awe inspiring moment we feel into the space,

the place, where for all intents and purposes, it feels like
the place of nothing. This place of nothing is the space
that opens, transmutes and changes everything for us if
we are willing to take the time, allow the space to open,
be gen- erated, created and facilitated by the letting go of
our bar- riers, our rejections.

01/03/23, 17:26 - Maya Rawal: The places and spaces we

go to when we nullify our- selves into the non-existent
place where we no longer con- nect to self and where if
we just ask for contribution the connection is felt, the
space opens and the connection to spirit transcends time
and space and it opens up.

Are you willing to connect to spirit in this moment in time

where all things happen for a reason? Or do they? Where
is your connection? Be willing to connect, to ask, to seek,
to be and have more than you have ever asked for before.

Implement some play in this connection to spirit! Play is

an integral part of the process of connecting to spirit. With
play your life changes, transcends time and space and
creates for you the most expansive, generative and
creative environment. To be in the space of connection,
the space of awareness, the space of being, doing and
having. How does it get better than that?

I am asking in this moment, in this time, and in this space

for the connection with spirit, the connection of who I be
and for this connection through and as spirit. So in this
moment in time I bring my barriers down, barriers down,
barriers down, infinitely receiving. What awareness can I
have here? What allowance can I have here? What ac-
ceptance can I have here? What joy can I have here? What
energy of spirit can I be here? What energy, space and
con- sciousness can my body and I be to be the energy of
spirit?

What words would like to be written in the book called the

Energy of Spirit? Just one chapter Chapter six. What
would like to come through? What allowance can I be?
01/03/23, 17:26 - Maya Rawal: What awareness can I be?
What acceptance can I be? What space can I be here?
What joy and exuberant expression of spirit can I be?

What will generate and create in the minds and hearts and
spirit of those that will read my chapter? What is re-
quired here? What do I require to be or do here to be in the
allowance, the acceptance, the space of allowing
whatever is willing to show up in this space and this time
and this way? For just the joy of it, the exuberant joy of it!

In the energy of today I sit here pondering the energy of

spirit and how that has guided me through the years, and I
wonder. I wonder what I could share. What vulnerability I
could be with my barriers down, with my heart wide open,
expanding myself out further, further and further Open- ing
up my heart space, barriers down. As the tears come and
slowly flow from my eyes, as the droplets fall, as the en-
ergy builds, as the connection is created with the
allowance that things are not always what they seem.

Where are you not in allowance of yourself to be and

connect with spirit in your life? Fear! There is a heaviness
in my heart as I say these

words. An opening is happening, the space is expanding!

Let

us begin!
We are here to commune with you today on the topic of
spirit-to be specific, the energy of spirit and the connec
tion and lack of connection to spirit. There is this general
rule of thumb that you are required to be a medium. What
if that is not true? What if everyone has the talent and

01/03/23, 17:26 - Maya Rawal: capacity to connect with

the divine, with the spirit of div- inity? Be in the presence
of it with no judgment, just being present.

As we perceive the energy flowing, enveloping us in the

energy of spirit, we expand it out further and further and
further until it totally encompasses us in it, this energy.
From this energetic space let us create a container that
will allow the energies to build.

Where are you in this moment in time? Are you present in

your life? Are you anywhere to be found? What are you
refusing to be in your life that if you would choose,
connect to self, that would generate, create for you a
space of con- tribution that fulfills a yearning that is
growing and grow- ing and growing. A connection of sorts
to a space and place within yourself.

Let's tap into that space now! Expanding you out fur- ther,
further and further. Let's play in the divinity of who you
are, who you truly are! It is a space a place within each of
us where we can truly connect within. The space where
we can play with self. Contribute, acknowledge, and
accept we do exist! We are part of all things.. Where are
you creating and generating your life for
you?

Here in this connection with spirit, we are here to con

tribute to you at this time. The message of the Gift of You!

What would it take for you to acknowledge the gift that

you truly are in your life, in the world with your talents and
capacities? Where are you refusing to see you? You the

01/03/23, 17:26 - Maya Rawal: magnificent being that God

has created! Will you stop now and acknowledge who you
are, who you be? Anything you are refusing to be, that if
you would actually be it, would transcend all problems and
issues that are overwhelming you at this time.

Be present with yourself, be present with you! Can you

perceive that?

The Essence of You!

We hear you say, "Oh my goodness what does that actu-

ally mean?" What does that mean? Who am I? Where am I?
How am I? What does that even look like? Yes, we hear
you! My darling! We feel your wonder,

your hesitation, your contraction, your resistance. What

would it be like to change that? Would you like to change

that? Or are you wanting to hold on to all that stuff, as you

call it?

What would it take to replace it with wonderment, ac-

ceptance, joy, play as you connect to yourself and to
spirit? What is spirit, you ask? Connection to source,
connec- tion, allowance, acceptance of who you be, how
you be, as you be, without judgment. Gratitude for who
you be! Al- lowance for who you be! Where in this moment
in time are you?

Let us assist with your creative capacities to connect,

create, expand, generate a knowing of your capacities,
tal- ents that will have the ability to inspire others to be
more, create more and have more. With the humility of all
is pos- sible, if you believe, receive, accept and
acknowledge self. At the center of spirit is self and at the
center of self

01/03/23, 17:28 - Maya Rawal: is spirit as one! Let all

illusions fall. Let your connection begin. Create the space
and place to connect to the spirit of self where all things
begin, where all things end. You ask, "How is this
possible?"

Playing in the energy of being present in your life cre- ates

and generates massive changes in your life, your living, for
you, your family and your friends. Listen to your heart
Listen to your knowing. Be present with you. Be present
with life. Be present with all things.

Be present with the spirit of you! The center of you, the

center of your being! Have you ever connected to you with

acceptance and

allowance of who you are?

Listen to your awareness. Listen to those fleeting whis-

pers that generate and create your life. They are
whispered on the wind, caught by the sails that we call
your life. As you transverse through life on the ship that
you call your life, where will you blow? Where will you go?
What will you create? Who will you meet?

Will you transverse this plane of existence with ease or

will you crash upon the terrain of hardship? Or will you
choose ease for you? Listen to the whispers, listen to the
breeze sharing

what is possible. Where are you going now? Who will you
meet? Are you listening to the calls of spirit?

Are you listening to the whispers that are being shared

with you at all times or are you so busy in your life that
you hear nothing, receive nothing, accept nothing and
share
01/03/23, 17:28 - Maya Rawal: nothing? Living in a
contracted state of non-acceptance, judgment, conclusion
and rejection. Who or what could you be or do or have or
share or contribute to today, that would create ease for
you and your

life?

What connections to spirit could you be or have as you

listen to the wind whispering in the trees? The laughter of
the children, the sound of the cars, the chirping of the
birds, the squeals of delight, the sounds of laughter, joy, of
play.

Are you hearing the whispers of spirit that is in the

breeze, rustling in the trees, whispering in the forest, on

the

clouds and in the breeze?

What would it take for you to connect to spirit? Then pull

and tug, the joy, the play, the laughter and even more than
you could even imagine possible to you. What would it
take for you to receive all of that with allowance? With the
right of receivership, with the right of receiving, the ac-
ceptance of receiving, the hope of receiving, the freedom
of receiving
As we cultivate these abilities and talents to receive we
will generate and create more. How can you receive more
today? What could you be or do differently that would take
acceptance of you? Are you willing to accept you as you?
Are you willing to be in non-judgment of you?

Are you willing to be in wonderment? OH.. Yes! OH... I will

have that! Thank you, Spirit! I will have that! I will have
that and even more! Yes, even more! As our lives expand
even bigger and more and even big-

ger! Where are you playing in the scheme of things in life?

01/03/23, 17:29 - Maya Rawal: Where are you committing

to you, creating for you, in the acceptance of you and
allowance of you?

Where are you in the spirit of things? Yes, we ask that!

Where are you in the spirit of things? Where are you
present in the spirit of things? Where have you allowed
your life to contribute to you? Where have you just ex-
pected your life to contribute to you?

What if it starts with you contributing to you just for the

joy of it? Just for the joy of it! The play of it!

As you step in to more of who you are, the spirit of you will
be revealed! The places and spaces in you that you have
hidden from you. They are still there. Would you like to
find them? Would you be willing to look deeper?
It all starts with allowance and acceptance for who you

are now, where you are now, what you are now, how you
are

now and why you are now! As you tumble and fall apart
into who you truly are, you will have more joy, more
laughter, more play and the acceptance and the allowance
of you!

Yes...YOU! The Spirit of You!

The Face in the Moon

By Dr. Lisa Cooney

"I ended up falling in love with the moon

because it faithfully showed up night after night"

My room was my sanctuary when I was a seven-year- old

child growing up in an extremely violent and abusive
household. It was the only place I could get away from all
the craziness in my house. There was a little window by
my bed, and every night when the moon would come out, I
would get on my knees and stare at it for hours, basking in
the beautiful face looking back at me, feeling its smiling
en- ergy, letting me know that everything was OK

I would pray to the moon every night to take me away,

knowing there was something more for me than the crazi-
ness I experienced. And then one night after one of my
long dialouges with the moon, I remember turning around
and seeing that my entire room had turned into all the
colors of the rainbow with fairies and angels, what I now
know as gods and goddesses, entities and deities, dancing
around in a wild party-the pink light of compassion, the
blue light of creativity-all there for me to experience. I
began spending time in that special world of magical

energies and received all kinds of downloads about what

to

01/03/23, 17:33 - Maya Rawal: be aware of, the gifts I

possessed and how special and differ- ent I was to be in
this life. These otherworldly creatures be- came my
friends and playmates and some nights I couldn't wait to
go to my room. I had always known something else was
available so I wasn't scared of this realm, and it made
more sense to me than my current reality even though it
de- fied ordinary time and space.

What I realized was that something else was possible and

that none of the insanity could affect me when I was in
that energy. It was then that I knew my life's work was to
bridge the spirit world with the physical world and tap into
the ATP energy of creation. ATP (adenosine triphosphate),
or spirit energy as I call it, provides us with the energy of
everything and it is in every cell of our body...including
that of the universe and the earth we live upon. The
Energy of Spirit and Knowing

What is this energy that we can all call upon and

commune with? What is this spirit that moves through all
things...that creates all things?
Today, when I think of spirit, I don't think of fairies or
angels or entities. Instead, I think of something Amma (a
spiritual healer I spent 15 years with as part of a spiritual
community) would say the childlike energy deep within us
is God.

The energy of spirit is, to me, like the ATP (adenosine

triphosphate) molecule which fuels every cell in our body
and is literally called the energy currency of life. It's the
spirit energy that's in our bodies and what we all are
There was a time in my life when I was really unhappy,

01/03/23, 17:33 - Maya Rawal: I was drinking a lot,

depressed and heavy, and nothing was working out. I felt
terrible and very alone inside, like every- thing was going
on around me and I wasn't connected to anything. One
night I was drinking and decided to check out and just be
done. It wasn't premeditated, but when I saw a bus
approaching, I stepped out off the curb to stand right in
front of it, and felt something grab my shoulders and pull
me back. I was in shock. I looked around and there was
nothing or no one there, and that's when I knew that
somebody or something had my back. It was the wake- up
call I so badly needed to remind me that there's some-
thing way beyond this reality and it's connected to me and
I needed to find out more about this. And there have been
so many times I have felt held in my journey and guided to
where I am now.

After I'd become a psychotherapist and started my

business, I got sick with a life-threatening disease and, to
heal myself, began to use Theta Healing. It completely
changed my practice. With this technique, you really have
to work on your knowing of spirit. Every day, I would sit in
my office chair with clients and I would, as Sheryl Sand-
berg, COO of Facebook and author of best seller, Lean In,
terms it, "lean in" to listen to the energy of spirit, the
energy of knowing.

I would come up with information I had no conscious way

of knowing, and my clients would often look at me
somewhat shocked. They'd demand, "How did you know
that? How could you know that? Where did you get that
information? I didn't tell you that." And I would have to be

01/03/23, 17:34 - Maya Rawal: gentle with my knowing so

as to not overwhelm them with what I was able to tap into
through the energy of spirit.

At that time, I'd use tools like muscle testing and, later, in
Access Consciousness, light and heavy to help my clients
feel their own knowing through their body and to empower
them to know what they know. It became very clear to me
that I was being a channel, a hollow reed (everything
comes through me and is for you with no judgment or
point of view), for the people that came into my office
because of the connection to these other realms, realities,
and energies.

And even before Theta Healing, I'd always had the sense
that there was another part of me connecting with people
that was unique and unusual. I knew it and my clients
knew it. They'd say things like, "You're a different
counselor than I've ever had before. You do this
differently. I've never felt this way before. Everybody else I
talked to before I'd end up leaving because I knew they
couldn't help me."

I believe I have this capacity because of my awareness of

the energy of the 'face in the moon,' my awareness of the
energy that moves in all things, including our belief sys-
tems, and my awareness that the organs in our body store
those beliefs, which in turn form our bodies and all our
realities. I also believe these realities can be changed,
trans- formed, and healed by collaborating with the
awareness of something beyond this reality.

To be aware in this way is to collaborate with the earth

and to collaborate with the molecules inherent in the
earth, which are no different than the molecules of our
body that

01/03/23, 17:34 - Maya Rawal: hold the ATP, the

powerhouse of our body. Because of this early experience
with the spirit of en- ergy and knowing, and the
information I received, I've al- ways felt that my work in
the world was to bridge these two worlds-the spirit with
the physical. It's probably no accident that I'm Sagittarius,
represented by the Archer and depicted as both a human
archer shooting toward the sky and a horse grounded in
the earth. I'm that bridge for people between our current
reality and what else is possible in other realms.

With any client I work with, myself included, I'm look ing
for the parts of us that fragmented off, blocking our ability
to access our own knowing and our energy of spirit. It can
mean going back to a very young age and tracing back to
where they are still stuck in some scene at whatever age
that scene took place. I help them look directly into the
eye of their inner child to get the information about what-
ever is keeping them stuck and cut off from themselves
and explore the emotion that is there-the fear, the rage,
the shame and then acknowledge it with the adult them.
It's all done eye to eye.

Once they've said everything that needs to be said in that

moment, I always ask them, as the adult, to reach out
their hand to the child. Sometimes they'll take it and
some- times they won't, but eventually we work it so the
child will, either in that session or another one. Usually
the child will ask, "Can I trust you?" Essentially, it has to
"meet" the adult. To me, this is like meeting our own
energy of spirit or inner ally. This is true communion of
spirit.

01/03/23, 17:35 - Maya Rawal: When they're returning from

this scene, there's usu- ally a rainbow escalator carrying
both the child in the scene and the adult back to the office
where we are, or the group, and we integrate that child
into the now. It never fails that the adult says this
experience has fundamentally changed them. They're no
longer triggered by things that used to bother them, as
witnessed by this excerpt from a testimo- nial I received
from one of my clients:

I have tried so many things to change all the aspects in

my life that have not been working. I have been so in-
credibly frustrated and often near giving up, taking class
after class, using tools that were given to me, knowing
they should be working as dynamically as they seem to
work with other people, but not knowing why they did not
work for me. I have worked with many, many facilitators,
some of whom have succeeded in assisting me to the
edge of look- ing into the trauma and abuse, only to be left
hanging once the door to the abuse was opened because
the facilitator really did not know what was required once
that door was opened. This was terrible for me and it took
a long time to even be willing to try again....

As I left the class to go home, I noticed that instead of the

shallow breathing I have lived with all my life, my breath
reached all the way inside my body, as if I was finally
living in my body for the first time. My body feels totally
different. My being feels more connected to my body and
everything is softer. I am so grateful that you provided the
space; that you brought all of your amazing skills to bear
on helping me get reconnected with myself. I know

01/03/23, 17:35 - Maya Rawal: that things will never be the

same and I know now that the gift that I am is available to
me in every moment

This is the energy of spirit...and that's what I'm doing -

calling up these lost children-the fragmented spirits of
these amazing beings and connecting them to "the child-
like innocence deep within us which is God," and bring-
ing them forward, allowing this human being to have full
choice, full power, and full capacity in every moment to
col- laborate with everything.

Without this energy of spirit and knowing, you feel like you
have a manual with all the parts and pieces missing. You
can't perceive the wholeness of the spirit because of the
separation that's taken place.
In this work, before I can even get to the child, though, I
have to clear the judgments, beliefs and embodiments
that the person before me-the adult-thinks is them. When
the body is empty of beliefs and judgments that aren't
theirs in the first place, such as parents', grandparents',
cul- tural belief systems, vows, and/or obligations, this is
when I often find children who are stuck in scenes where
they didn't know what to do. A psychologically
compensatory mechanism kicks in when a part of us
leaves and another part stays stuck in the scene at four
years of age. That part doesn't die or leave the scene, it
stays stuck in the kitchen or the bedroom or wherever the
scene was.

There are all kinds of scenes where this can happen. It

might have simply been a mother and father screaming at
each other and one of them threatening to leave. But what
the child hears is, "Oh my god, my whole safety is threat-

01/03/23, 17:35 - Maya Rawal: ened."They can't deal with

that or talk about it, so they sep- arate themselves and
hide in the closet in their bedroom Forty years later,
they're in therapy and that scene is at the heart of the
issue.

Fortunately, they don't have to stay stuck, and this is part

of what my work is about. I go and retrieve that part with
them after we release and acknowledge whatever it was
that created the separation, as well as whatever it was
they took on from that separation that isn't true. This has
been the problem-they're not creating their life from the
wholeness of who they really are. They're making it from a
part of them created in trauma and in shock.

When we bring that other part back, they feel what my

client felt-that everything has changed and nothing will be
the same again. They now have a connection with their
own spirit, their own energy, their own infinite being-ness,
which is phenomenal and magical, and has all possibilities
at its ready, and has its full choice no matter how bad it
gets. It's no longer a no-choice universe.

There's another possibility. So how do we connect to the

wholeness of spirit?

Connecting to Wholeness

The energy of spirit is that part we call by many names -

God or the universe, it doesn't matter-it is that which we
perceive as something distinct that gifts us and works in
collaboration with us. The energy of knowing is internal,
it's our ability to receive intuition.

To become more aware of both of these energies, there

01/03/23, 17:35 - Maya Rawal: are practices or ideas

outside of therapy or classes-steps you can take on a
personal level to connect with your innate wholeness.

Getting out in nature

One of the things that held me while exploring my path

to spirit was my participation in sports. When I was play-

ing soccer, hiking, biking, running up the top of a moun-

tain, I felt strong, agile, and free in my body and the know-

ing I could do anything. There were no limits to my agility

and ability to commune with my body and the earth. I felt

a peace after being active that breathed, "everything is
OK." When you're in that energy of space, anything is pos-
sible and you can expand out with the universe and be one
with all the molecules. Basically, it's about having
gratitude

for the earth by getting out on to the earth somehow.

So, go ahead...hug a tree. Take a barefoot meditation

walk. Put your body and being closer to the earth and

breathe in.

Mantras, Chanting and Meditation

These powerful, ancient practices can help get the clat-
tering mind out of the way, opening up space so that the
en- ergy of spirit and knowing can enter and inform you

When I was a young child, the only person I felt good with
was my grandmother. I used to walk my grandmother to
church each day when I stayed with her, and she would
recite the prayers in the church pew.

One day she recited, "Someday my soul and I shall be

healed." Now the prayer book actually didn't say "soul,"
but

01/03/23, 17:36 - Maya Rawal: she added it, and when I

heard the word "soul" I immedi- ately looked up at her and
heard a ringing in my ears like, "What's the soul?" Looking
back, I realize my whole entire life has been on a quest for
soul and spirit, which was first opened up by those long
ago introductory experiences with the moon.

And listening to the chants, prayers, and psalms over and

over again, while sitting at my grandmother's feet and
tracing the veins on her hands, over and over, I felt so
com- forted by the repetition of her words. It's one of the
reasons I can be so present today for so many hours with
clients, during healing practices and all the long hours of
sessions, tele-calls and classes I do. It's as if my
tolerance and abil- ity to "be" with others was formed in
part, early on, by the long hours of sitting in prayer and
being with the energy of spirit that I experienced with my
grandmother during all those peaceful days in church.
Ask

Asking and being in the question is an inherent part of

connecting with your knowing. It can be as simple as ask-
ing for the next step in your life or what you really want.
Something that I've found works in my own life to con-
nect me with the energy of spirit and knowing is focusing
on what my target is by asking a series of questions and
phrases. I actually sing it in a song each morning starting
out:

Who am I today?

What grand and glorious adventure awaits me?

01/03/23, 17:36 - Maya Rawal: What else is possible?

How does it get any better than this? Universe, show me

something beautiful today. What energy, space and
consciousness can I create in

myself?

What contribution from spirit/knowing can I be and re-

ceive today?
And I always add something fun like, "What can I do or be
today that will create more play, fun and joy right away""
Sometimes I ask my business things like, "What would it
take for me to out-create myself financially today?"

What does my business require of me? What would it like

to do today? Who do I need to speak to today? For my
health I might ask, "How would my body like to move
today? How would my body like to eat today that fills me
with energy and lightness? I thank Access Consciousness
and the founders Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer for their
contribution to the 'song of my spirit' by way of questions
that keeps me fresh and alive in possibility every day.

Surrender and Let Go

Sometimes you have to let go of something that's not

working and say, "Okay, I give in to what is way beyond
me." In a way, the entire creating process is one big let
go-let- ting go of attachment to something you desire. It's
all about surrendering to the energy of spirit. You don't
know the an- swer but you let go in faith and trust,
allowing a space to open up for spirit to provide a solution
or awareness. What I know to be true is that we live in a
universe that

01/03/23, 17:36 - Maya Rawal: conspires to bless us. No

matter how much abuse I suffered or how much I didn't
want to live at times, the energy of spirit and my knowing
was what kept me going and what kept me navigating
those tortuous waters to come out on the other side and
be able to offer something valuable to help so many
others.
Many people are lost in this reality and look for therapy,
meditation, or spiritual communities to connect with all
the energy I saw so clearly at the age of seven. I've done
those things, too, in an effort to heal and connect more

deeply. So, here's what I'm wondering...a question, a call

for ac- tion, if you will.

If you can expand your energy to include working with the

spirit of the earth, the universe and innate within you and
your knowingness to collaborate with them all, what else
can we create together so that we be the energy of spirit
at all times, in all places, in every situation whether we
feel com- pletely supported or not? And...

What would it take for your energy of spirit from deep

within you to show up and be the catalyst in your life for
now and all eternity?

Awareness of the Spiritual Beings Among Us

By Susan Shatzer

Welcome to the infinite world you have with SPIRIT Let me

start by asking you if you remember having an imagin- ary
friend when you were a kid? Perhaps your siblings or
extended family had imaginary friends? Maybe even your
children possibly have now or had imaginary friends when
they were kids? What if this could be one of those times in
the evolution of the human race thinking back to when
Christopher Columbus said the world was round and every-
one thought he was crazy but we know how that story
ended. What about in 1952 when Roger Bannister broke
the four-minute mile decided by scientists, to be unbreak-
able and impossible for the human body to run it any
faster? Could this be one of those times, when everything
you thought was true, right and real about Spirits all of a
sudden isn't? What changed for the world when Columbus
sailed around it and when Roger Bannister broke the
record running 3:59.4 and it has since been broken by
many male athletes? We had to admit what we were
concluding to be true was absolutely false. I ask you, if
you are not already, open to the possibility of what you
think you know about

01/03/23, 17:38 - Maya Rawal: spirits might be untrue?

Would you even take the leap to acknowledge the
possibility you, your kids, and your family were talking,
laughing, and even playing with Spirits? You know the
ones your parents told everyone were imaginary probably
because they couldn't identify them using their five
senses; therefore, spirits couldn't possibly exist.

What do you think children have which makes it easy for

them to communicate with spirits and impossible for you?
What I have found over the many years both per- sonally
and professionally is it's not about what children have but
what they don't have that makes the difference Children
actually aren't born with and don't have a Point- Of-View
about the impossibility of communicating with spirits, but
adults and our society do. Did you know that your point of
view creates your reality? Have you heard the saying, "If
you think you can't, you're right!"? Our society has
predetermined what is right, good, proper and believ- able
about spirits. As well as what is wrong, bad, evil, and
unbelievable about spirits. Movie studios have glorified
and gorified spirits in all sizes, shapes, and features. As
children grow up, they begin to see, hear and take on
adult beliefs and society's points of view. Is it because we
are trained to believe our parents tell the truth and are
always right? As these become integrated into a child's
life, they shut down, close off, and ignore their abilities to
perceive beyond the

five senses.

Like some youth, I thought I was weird and nerdish in

school. I didn't have a best friend or belong to a clique. I
got along with everyone. I was a cheerleader and dancer
who

01/03/23, 17:38 - Maya Rawal: floated from group to group

depending on the season My peers told me I was way too
happy and much too skinny. I just didn't fit in. I naturally
looked for quicker, faster, and easier ways of doing things,
whether I was working, play- ing or hanging around the
house. I was different and didn't know how to change it.
One particular woman in my life was an incredible mentor.
She nurtured my talents and abilities by continuously
challenging me. Her name was Mrs. Carole Tierney. She
was my cheerleading coach, dance instructor, and most
importantly a leader who saw me for the talented
individual I was at a very young age.

After graduating from high school, it was hard for me to

leave the small town I grew up in to attend a very large
university, but somehow she knew how to keep me
connected by having me return to show her students mul-
tiple choreography routines I had been taught in different
dance classes. It was during that time, I received a call
that she had been in a very bad car accident and had
passed away. This was my first experience with losing
someone I personally knew. I attended the wake, funeral
and fam- ily gathering but couldn't understand why I didn't
feel the deep sadness and huge loss everyone else was
experiencing. The evening before I returned to college,
while lying in bed, my thoughts drifted to her and all the
fun we had together Surprisingly, within at most just a
couple minutes, I felt the blankets begin to tuck
themselves in and under my legs on both sides. This
sensation started at my feet and quickly progressed
upward. Shocked, I immediately sat up, gasping for air,
scared to death, and came face to face with her sit-

01/03/23, 17:38 - Maya Rawal: ting on the edge of my bed.

We sat there staring at each other for what seemed like
an eternity. In total disbelief, I could see her entire body
was making an impression on my bed as if it was a solid
object. It was such an angelic mo- ment for me as all I
could do was stare at her because she glowed so
beautifully and it was as if time stood still and all the
molecules of the universe were flowing around her in slow
motion. I was able to feel the joy and love radiate from her
body, which engulfed me. We didn't say a word to each
other, instead she communicated with me telepathic- ally.
In my head, I could hear her words, in her voice, tell me I
would be fine and to continue bringing my light into the
world. Unfortunately, without being able to say thank you
or tell her how much I would miss her, her energy spun in
the air and flew through my closed window, blowing my
sheers outwards. Could that be the reason why I didn't
feel the level of sadness her friends and family had?
Perhaps I knew deep down, she wasn't totally gone or that
passing on wasn't a forever event but that there was
definitely a next step after embodiment on Earth. Maybe
that is why she stopped by, tucked me in, and quickly left.
What else is possible we are not willing to acknowledge
with the Beings without Bodies?

As time progressed, I realized there was a whole lot more

to the world of disembodied beings or energies that I had
not been willing to ask about, look into, or even ac-
knowledge. I took the next four years in college to step
away from the Catholic religion and explore other
possibilities. During this time, I met my guardian angel.
She appeared

01/03/23, 17:39 - Maya Rawal: to me during a progressive

meditation session. She and I began to further strengthen
our communication during both meditative sessions and in
the "real world," our third dimension. She was with me at
all times even if I could not physically feel or see her. She
would provide information telepathically either by picture
or conversation which felt weirdly like I was talking to
myself. I began to get better at distinguishing her voice
from mine and to take note when she was sharing
information because it usually was a warn- ing to pay
attention to something particular in my life. To my
surprise, there were quite a few almost, oh so close, car
accidents and questionable men I dated who were wanted
for murder and arrested for running a federal insurance
scam. During this time, what changed for me was the con-
sistent state of awareness I had with my surroundings be-
yond what this reality claims to be true, right and real.
For example, the time my mother and I took a cruise
together. One day, after lunch, we decided to take a local
cab into town to do some shopping. As we were walking
through the many shops, we noticed stores were closing
and business owners were pulling their signs and
merchan- dise inside. My mom was busy looking at
scarves when my guardian angel sent me pictures and
relayed a message. She alerted me to be aware when
shops close, taxis leave, and there would be no way to get
back to the ship in time before it sets sail and it just so
happened, we weren't in the safest area on the island. Got
it, I said out loud as the clerk gave me a weird look of
wonderment, probably because I was talking to myself. I
motioned for my mom to leave and as

01/03/23, 17:39 - Maya Rawal: we exited the store, I

grabbed her arm and said, "WE HAVE GOT TO GO NOW."
My mom knew of these immediate re- sponse moments
where action was required to be accurate so we picked up
our pace and began walking quite briskly. I shared with
her the message I received and as we turned the corner to
the square, we spotted only 1 taxi left. We gratefully
thanked my guide. How did we get so lucky?

Did you know scientists have shown the amount of energy

that is here in the universe right now is the same amount
of energy that was here when the universe was first
created? Energy can neither be created nor destroyed
What does that tell us? Since we are energy, we have ac
tually been here for as long as the universe has and this is
not our first go around here on planet earth In these ten
seconds, I am energy/a spirit with a body and when this
lifetime ends, I will become energy/a spirit without a body.
Remembering that asking questions always em- power you
and anything else disempowers you, I won dered, what
questions could I ask that would give me even

greater awareness with spirits? What if we continuously

ask questions to gain greater awareness? I very much
enjoy empowering clients by teaching them the art of
asking questions with muscle testing to receive the
awareness. Questions to ask might include, what was
your life like when you were last embodied? Would you
share with me what it is like to be without a body? What
do you know that I don't know that if I knew, would create
greater ease? That, my friend, was the question that
changed everything for me!

01/03/23, 17:39 - Maya Rawal: It occurred one day, not too

long ago, during office hours with a room full of spirits that
happen to all be friends, as I began asking them what I
could do. One spirit stepped forward and asked if he could
show me a different way to facilitate energies/spirits. At
first, I was taken com- pletely off guard and withdrew my
energy. Then realizing how constricted I had become, I
expanded my energy to be as big as the universe. As I
expanded out, I slowly began lowering my barriers and
was able to receive the informa- tion he was very excited
to tell me. He started communi- cating with me by
showing me a movie reel with narration He explained how
the way I was facilitating spirits was not right or wrong
just unkind. Wow!! That was interesting, I thought, and
wondered how so? He shared with me at the point of
facilitation when I ask a spirit, "Truth, who were you
before this?" Or "Truth, where were you before this?" Or
"Truth, what did you do before this?" These questions
actually took the spirit back to the previous lifetime, loca
tion, or job when some were tortured, killed, or worse. He
showed me how in asking them to leave and take all of
their baggage and imprinting with them, only sent them
away looking for another body or house to hang out in
Some were left wandering around still carrying all their
limitations and points of view with them. Wow, it was an
amazing and profound movie to watch!! 1 could see what

he was showing me and asked if there was another way?

"Yes," he said and began to describe how I could facilitate
with greater ease by opening a pathway and asking spirits
to go back to from whence they came ORIGINALLY Origin

01/03/23, 17:39 - Maya Rawal: ally being the key word. He

continued to show me this time in a slide show format
how many were ready and asking to go back to their
original energy before they ever chose to become
anything. I learned that in taking the pathway back to
from whence one comes originally, all limitations are re-
moved and one is transformed into pure consciousness.

I sat back as this information was displayed to me and I

was astonishingly completely filled with gratitude to be
able to assist in creating a different possibility for them
and others. I turned to ask the others in my office if they
too wished to choose this new process and they all
resound- ingly said yes. I was definitely willing to give it a
go if he was willing to stay with me and be the last being
to cross over in case I required guidance along the way
this first time. He agreed, and I began by opening the
pathway and asking all the beings to go back to from
whence they came originally. They were leaving with
happiness, joy, thankful- ness, kindness and without fear
or judgment. Each person- ally thanked me as they began
their walk on the pathway to what they called home. As I
watched them walk up the path, I could see what
appeared to be sticky energy melt away. It looked as
though they were no longer carrying the weight from
lifetime after lifetime of judgment, rejection, separation,
limitation and more. It was profound to see as each layer
fell away they became brighter and brighter As they took
the last step off the path they were so bright and light
they literally disappeared with a flash of light like a
camera taking a picture. I was stunned and excited and
remained engulfed in gratitude as tears began rolling

01/03/23, 17:40 - Maya Rawal: down my face. What an

enormous gift I had just received. As he said his final
farewell to me and walked the path, I couldn't help notice
many other beings were attracted to the pathway and
illumination that was created by each being as it crossed
over. I received an instant question. Can we go too?

Without hesitation, I immediately invited them to go back

to from whence they came originally and some chose to
go right away by stepping on the pathway and crossing
over. I also became aware of some beings who hesitated. I
asked, "What is holding you back?" I instantaneously re-
ceived a very loud conversation in my head from everyone
answering my question all at the same time. I had to re-
quest for everyone to stop as I took a breath and required
each to speak one at a time. I learned some had messages
to deliver and others had gifts they needed to get to a
loved one before they could go. I asked each being, "How
might I be able to assist?" Each sent me an instant picture
of placing their gifts and messages on the outer most
layer of my aura and then was told to blast them out into
the universe for de- livery once the pathway had been
closed. How cool was that? At that exact moment, I felt a
tug on my body and asked, "Who does this belong to?" It
was the Earth trying to get my attention. I asked, "Is there
something I could do to contribute?" The Earth asked me
to keep the pathway open for a specific amount of time
prior to closing it. I was shown, it would like to send
energy to go back to from whence it came originally. I did
as the Earth had asked then and every time since which
has created an even greater

01/03/23, 17:40 - Maya Rawal: calmness, peacefulness and

bliss with clients, their fam ilies, coworkers as well as
their homes, office buildings and the earth surrounding
each area. It was an incredible beau- tiful sensation. I
gave the beings, buildings, and the earth an extra ten
minutes for any energies that were ready to choose to go
back to from whence it came originally to step on the
pathway. Wow! How much fun would this be? And so I
agreed. Each spirit began placing gift after gift and mes-
sage after message on my aura. I perceived the
importance and significance they had given to each one. It
was heavy for them to carry around and created a weight
which kept them here on the planet. I watched all of them
walk the path with the same excitement and gratitude. I
again could distinguish all the sticky things they had been
carrying melt away and became super bright lights as
well. As the extra ten minutes came to an end, I closed
the pathway. To my amazement, I was not sad or fatigued
but instead felt an empowered new beginning which rose
from within me. All of a sudden, I felt, and the best way to
describe it is, like a Christmas tree. I had tons of
messages like decorations and ornaments hanging off the
tree with lots of gifts like the presents you open on
Christmas morning I chuckled to my- self as I only then
realized I had quite a few things to send out into the
universe. Blasting these into the universe cre- ated a huge
fireworks display as each one took off, and 1 could see
them move through time, space, places, dimen- sions,
realities, and universes. What a day at the office I was

having!!!

I sat there perceiving, knowing, and receiving this new

01/03/23, 17:40 - Maya Rawal: way of being with spirits. I

reveled in the awareness this was one of those moments
in time where everything could changed and it did. It's the
go directly to home pass from Monopoly and these spirits
have been telling their friends? How did I get so lucky? I
am incredibly grateful and receive tons of joy by being
gifted this new way of facilitation that this is the kindness
beings are ready and asking for. I was excited to
acknowledge where the science of today meets my
awareness of the infinite possibilities available with
Spirits. I have also noticed while asking questions and re-
ceiving awarenesses, I really get that Now Is The Time. If
this is something you'd like to know more about, I invite
you to take a class or book a session. I'm open to working
with you, wherever you are or it is in the world.

The Calling of Spirit

By Diane Hiller

As an evidential medium, I am often asked how do I know

that spirit is there? How do they communicate? Most of
all, what have been my experiences with spirit? Here are
my experiences, and believe me, it's a tall tale. Yes, every
single word of it is true. It happened to me.

My direct experience with spirit begins in my memory at

age nine. While growing up in a turn-of-the-century
farmhouse in Monroe, Connecticut, I learned that there
had been several tragic deaths on the property. I began
waking up at night seeing the face a beautiful young
woman hover- ing over my bed. It scared the daylights out
of me. Hiding under the covers and hoping she would be
gone, night after night, she would still come. She was
always smiling. I told my mother about her and we
narrowed it down to a child who had died tragically in the
home 30 years earlier. We were related. Though she had
died as a child, she appeared to me as an adult.

I recall around this time telling my mother, "Please call

the hospital and double check, I think you have the wrong
baby, I know I don't belong here." Though I said this over
and over, of course, it got me nowhere. The feeling of not

01/03/23, 17:42 - Maya Rawal: belonging was lifelong for

me until stepping on to my true spiritual path. Right
around his time, there was also an opening to precognition
of world events and really seeing some odd things at
night. I would hear spirits just walk- ing around, odd
noises, and phones ringing. I got used to it after awhile.
But when my predictions of world events began to come
true with uncanny accuracy, there was en- couragement
to not talk about it so much. It was not like today where
there are more acceptances of these gifts. These gifts
now span five generations on the maternal side of my
family.

Fast forward to age 40. Now it began for me, really

questioning the entire nature of reality, how things work,
what are we doing here? The push to understand these
deeper questions of my spiritual roots and gifts reached
epic proportions. I began to write about these things in
Graduate School. Though encouraged then to publish, I did
not, only later to see my ideas out here in someone else's
name.

At around age 40, after my divorce, I met a young man.

This was clearly karmic, though not meant to be a love
relationship. The resonance there was so great, like two
tuning forks side by side, that it precipitated an open- ing
in me. It was my first Kundalini opening. Having been
stimulated mentally, spiritually, physically and emotion-
ally, he left, I went in to lie on my bed. We had been on the
floor side by side for hours reading each other's minds. It
was surreal. Later, while on my bed I could feel something
energetic open in my solar plexus, and travel upwards. It

01/03/23, 17:42 - Maya Rawal: was a gentle opening during

which my mind expanded. At that moment, I knew for sure
that there was another reality of energy beyond which we
are normally connected. I had experienced it directly. I
saw it, felt it and knew it. For an en- tire week I walked
around in an altered state of conscious- ness. Here, but
not really here. It was just like my childhood. The little
pieces were coming together for me now. I packed my
bags and headed to Monterey, California, for the Associ-
ation of Transpersonal Psychology Convention in Asilomar
It was, I think, 1994.

Here, I met and studied with such legends as Yogi Bha

jan and many others. Here I felt I knew where I was going
and was connected with like-minded souls. They would
come up to say and me things like "I can see your aura,
it's gold." "You are a healer." I was still not quite sure
what was actually happening. I came home and spent the
next 10- years reading every spiritual classic that I could
find Then, I entered the program to become certified as a
BTB Feng Shui Master, it was here that I had my second

opening. This one was 10 times more powerful

I will never forget this experience. Some pretty amaz- ing
things had been happening to me in mediation at home,
but this was over the top.

I remember being at a natural restaurant with the group

before we were to go on a consultation. The program gave
a discount for the student group and a teacher to come to
a client's home as part the learning process. We were all
talking about our lives since our last class and catching
up. I told them that while doing The Utmost Yoga's Stage

01/03/23, 18:16 - Maya Rawal: 9, a meditation technique, I

had felt some beautiful energy come in through the base
of my neck. One of the teachers said what was going to
happen would be amazing, but I had no idea what she was
talking about. I think it was also on that day one of my
fellow students said: "You know, you are going to take
another step on this path and there will be no turning
back, if you fall off this path you will truly feel awful."

It happened to me while doing a student consultation that

day at a client's home in NYC. My teacher said, "Hey
Diane, there is a photo of The Green Tara on the wall over
there. I think you should go take a good look at it." I did,
and then I sat on the floor, poised in her position and I
could feel it begin at the base of my spine. Something told
me to take off my glasses. We were chanting the Green
Tara Man- tra: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha. I was chanting,
louder and louder, over and over, my body then took on a
mind of its own and went into spontaneous sacred hand
mudras and other gestures. Though aware and watching, I
was not in control of this energy. I recall banging on the
floor moving away years of karma, feeling the energy
moving chakra to chakra until it reached my crown and I
was left prostrated on the floor in prayer position.

About 11 people were in the room. My teachers were

guiding this, I could hear them speaking about what was
happening: the mixing of the Ida and the Pingala energies.
the burning away of about 250 years of karma. When I
looked up everyone was crying, just one tear, down the
side of their faces. They told me later that I had
transfigured

01/03/23, 18:16 - Maya Rawal: right before their eyes into a

25-year-old woman. My eyes, bright green, did not look
human. It lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes. I was again
aware but somehow removed. There, but not really there,
once more.

This was the activation of my Root Diety, The Green Tara.

I was forever altered. I was told that my DNA had
changed. I was asked to take a vow, one that I was not
yet fully ready to take. I was asked to state out loud that I
would dedicate my life work to alleviate the suffering of
mankind. "Are you kidding me?" I was thinking "Me? I'm
not ready for that," plus I was thinking people were
waiting for this to end. Funny what you recall. So, out
loud, I took a partial vow. I made a promise to do all I
could to alleviate the suffering of mankind. Upon return
home people could see the energy. I remember the first
time seeing my grand- daughter who was about three
years old, she took one look at me and suddenly and
immediately got down on the floor and bowed before me.
She was on the floor, and in the same position that I was
when my experience ended. I had gone over to try to
explain to my daughter what had happened. My doctors
could see it and asked what was going on. I'd need to
spend a week gardening in the dirt or in the bathtub trying
to get grounded. Afterward, came a long period of ill- ness
as my body adjusted to this extreme jolt and change.

So now I was more psychic than ever, but I was not a

medium. I never intended to be a medium. It was 2008. I
knew that I was not done and had this feeling that I did
not have full control over my abilities. I started to read at
psychic fairs. There I connected with a woman who was a

01/03/23, 18:17 - Maya Rawal: genuine Shaman. I work

with her monthly to this day. She said, "You know this is a
huge commitment, it could take years." Well let's see, we
are now at about 15 years in, so what's a few more?
Right?

We started with journeys into each of the chakras. I was

healing this was a win/win. I met my gatekeeper ani- mal
and my lower chakra animals. At about our fourth journey,
she saw a woman standing behind me, not of this earth.
She was my oracle she said and it was time to journey to
the upper world to see if there was to be another ener-
getic merging. "Who is she I asked?" "I can't tell you." She
replied. "She has to come to you and introduce herself,
this is a sacred contract for you two to work together." So
I did the journey and did we ever connect. I could feel it in
my en- tire body. Three days later, I woke to a soft female
voice, like an angel whispering in my ear, "My name is
Carolyn." She is my guide, my Spirit oracle, with me
forever.
The next time I was at a psychic fair I read for a young
woman. I don't read the news so I knew nothing of this
case. Her mother had been presumed murdered, was
missing, and it was still unsolved and remains so to this
day. I was beginning to tap in when a very dark energy
entered my body and I started to stutter. He said his name
was Sam, he was a stutterer in real life, she knew who he
was and he had been involved in or knew the details of her
mother's mur- der. He described what happened, where
and how and what her home looked like. He also spoke of
specific vehicle and a brook behind the home. He told her
that she would learn the details of the death many years
later on a deathbed bed

01/03/23, 18:17 - Maya Rawal: confession. She knew this

man, it was strongly believed that he had been involved
and all of the other information he gave her was accurate.
There was no proof, no body, and therefore no conviction.
For now, it remains unsolved. That day, I knew I was a
medium. I was, of course, more than a bit unsettled. This
was my first experience. I wondered why him, why that
day? Now I believe it was his way of making amends for
this horrific act, so he could get out of that dark place. I
was not really scared. I have my guides, teachers, and I
have learned very powerful ways to clear negativity. The
dark wants to be healed, so it must come to the light.
There is no other way.

From that day on, there was no mistaking my ability; it

was like a switch had been flipped on. The information
came in at will, fast and furious, names, dates, details,
and things I could not even believe flew out of my mouth.
So I worked on the side, a regular job during the day, and
then my other life as a psychic medium. By 2012 it
became too much for me. I needed to leave my job as a
mental health consultant on childhood abuse and neglect
cases. It just was not what I wanted to do anymore. Now
it was time to pursue this path, it was time, long past time
really, and I was getting old. As late bloomer, I have four
planets in retrograde, which means a delay, not a denial. I
have also been told that I was born in "The house of
cloaked hoods, or wisdom."

I had just lost a long time love and it pushed me, now or
never, get out, follow your path. Just do it already. He was
gone, I was sad, and month-to-month I would talk to him

01/03/23, 18:17 - Maya Rawal: though her. Eventually we

married in Shamanic ceremony, and now I had a third
guide. Never could I have imagined this happening. The
relationship had been a disaster in this life, but he is my
twin soul, about this, there is no doubt I knew it the first
time I heard his voice. We have resolved our karma in this
lifetime and we will meet again. I have a lot to say about
the twin soul connection, but not here and not now. It is
far from the ideal relationship that many seek to fill a hole
in their soul. It will challenge you to your very core and it
is not likely it will work out in this lifetime.

So I left my job. My fear would say, "You're psychic and

you did not see you would be broke in three years?" This,
of course, did not happen. As the old Zen phrase says: I
leapt and the net appeared and it has ever since. Spirit
called and I said yes. Spirit does not let you down. Not
Ever. I began to read, and then through synchronicity one
door after another has opened. After about three years, I
de-

cided I needed a break. I was working so hard to build the

business and to fulfill my promise. This three-year cycle of

Saturn hitting my Scorpio at 11 degrees was killing me

and

I needed to rest. Upon reflection, spirit had another idea.

So in March of 2015, I went so see my best friend in

Ashville to rest, recuperate. But, when I got there, I felt it
in the air. The air is so soft. Asheville carries the high
divine feminine vibe. My first night there, I left my body. I
was gone, aware that I was on the other side. I knew it. I
can't describe it, but I know I was not here. The feeling is
very familiar. I had to keep switching back and forth to
touch the blanket to come back. I stayed that way back
and forth for

01/03/23, 18:18 - Maya Rawal: hours; I was here but not

here. Again. I got up and I tried to explain what happened,
I could

barely speak. So I went back to bed and got what I know

is called a spiritual download for over about three hours of
one image after another coming in to my head, like a
photo album. There were thousands of images. I believe
that these images now come to me when I read. I was
only there for four days and slept for two. Her husband
jokes, "Tell Diane she can come anytime even if it's just
so she can sleep."

Often in Mediumship readings now, people appear to me at

different ages and many have reverted to the time in life
that they were the happiest, They do, however, all retain
their personality and memory of this lifetime, habits, pref-
erences, as well as characteristics that identify them.

People like validation stories; I don't like to share too

many, so as not to breach any confidentiality. I never dis-
close the names of my clients. I was recently asked this
question. Does your body ever feel different during a Me-
diumship reading? The answer is sometimes. I will often
ask, if not getting a strong enough signal, for them to
"crank it up." Then I will get a sudden jolt to my heart, a
neck jerking movement, or a sense of dizziness or nausea,
and more information about how the person died. This
passes immediately and I tell people beforehand

that this may happen. Other times the disincarnate sprit

just walks right through the door with the client. I may
smell cigarette smoke or some other scent. Recently, I
have begun to see them again. Once looking over to the
corner of my office

01/03/23, 18:18 - Maya Rawal: reading a woman, her

father's face appeared as clear as day. He wore glasses I
said, and they look like this as I described them.
I have found in Family Group Readings that women often
do come through as a group, and ultimately the strongest
personality will take over. In the last one I did, four people
came though, all by name, with descriptive de- tails. They
talk about everything in astounding detail from health to
divorces, to failed pregnancies, to a specific item upstairs
in a home I have never been in and that they people
themselves had themselves not even seen. Yet when they
went upstairs it was validated after the reading. These de-
tails are undeniable and make complete sense to those I
am reading. I have learned to just say it, even if it seems
to me to be out of the blue and makes no sense. One
woman's mother said, "Tell her I'm a dancer." The woman
began to cry, this had been her mother's unfulfilled
lifelong aspir- ation.

Another of my absolute favorites is the car story. I was

reading for a well-known energy worker. "I want to talk to
my father." I said I'd see what I could do. Now mind you, I
know nothing about cars. I turn the key and hope it starts,
get gas, and well that is about it. I know some parts, but
not what they do. "Do you have a problem with your car?"
No, he replied. Well I think I have your father here and he
keeps telling me to talk to you about the tie rod on your
car?

The man burst out laughing. The story was he wanted

a car at age 16, a real hunk of junk. The father did not
want
to spend the $300 to buy it. He pleaded, the father said,
"Ok

01/03/23, 18:18 - Maya Rawal: but you have to pay for the
first repair." He had it about a week and the tie rod went.
The cost to repair the car was $300. It was one of his
favorite and most laughable stories that he and his father
had shared. I have since found that our loved ones on the
other side are very car obsessed. They pay attention to
cars that need repair. It comes up quite often in readings.

Back home again, more keeps happening. I have long

since surrendered my career to spirit. It will take me
where I am meant and need to go. Just last week I was
just wak- ing up and a saw a man who had died wearing an
odd colored bathrobe, with nothing on underneath. That
day I got a call to do a space clearing. I do paranormal
work from time to time, spirit removals and crossovers,
removal of bad chi, and house energy adjustments. The
man said, "I need you to come here, strange things are
happening, things are being moved and I saw a man in my
hallway." "Was he wearing bathrobe with nothing
underneath?" Silence, then

"Yes." I already knew who it was. I will be going soon.

He's ex- pecting me. I've been called.

Yes, in more ways than one.

Many people now are having openings as more and more

light enters the planet and they do not understand, they
think they are going crazy. This chapter is for you, also for
those who are curious, skeptical, for those who are con-
sidering this work as their path. We are not crazy. We have
been called.

I sincerely hope it helps and that you will now say: Yes,

01/03/23, 19:29 - Maya Rawal: now I understand, Yes, I'm

going to look into to this, Yes, I have been called. And
Yes, I will say Yes.

Dance with the Molecules of Knowing

By Betsy McLoughlin.

Know what you know. Have you always known that you
know? Somehow you are aware. You can't explain this-
simply that it is true for you.

A definition of intuition is "The ability to understand

something immediately, without the need for conscious
reasoning." Or, "A thing that one knows or considers likely
from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning."

I had so much knowing as a child. I would tell an adult

about what I knew and it was met with disbelief. Things I
saw and heard that no one around me saw or heard. Inter-
estingly, the definition of knowing is "Done in full aware
ness or consciousness."

I believed the adults telling me I was wrong with what I

knew and I started distrusting my knowing. I shut the door
most of the way on this ability. Even with the door closed,
some awareness crept through. I would have "gut"
instincts about something. If I ignored that gut feeling,
things would go haywire. I would tell people to always
listen to that gut instinct-it's never wrong. Advice I wasn't
following my- self for a long while. Silly me! I made myself
wrong for what I knew. I made the points of view of others
real. If the adults were telling me things I saw and felt
were impossible, they

01/03/23, 19:42 - Maya Rawal: must be right. After all, they

are the adults.

One example of listening to my instinct is as follows: I

was scheduled to take the train back home from New York
to Maryland when I was around 17. Every fiber in my being
yelled not to get on that train. Since I was not listening to
my perceptions at this point in my life as much, and my
body was so insistent, I paid attention. I was at the train
station and could NOT get on the train. I called my mother,
knowing she was going to be furious, and lied. I told her I
missed the train and I would catch the next one. The train
that I did not take derailed and a couple people were
killed. I knew that I couldn't tell her this information. Mom
would say I was crazy and that it was a coincidence, so I
kept quiet.

I had very vivid dreams and would wake up thinking they

had already happened. They were sometimes won- derful
events and sometimes around accidents. The happy
dreams I loved, knowing this would be fun!

I had a very disturbing dream my senior year of high

school where I was searching for a friend on railroad
tracks. I couldn't find him anywhere. I was crying and
searching for him, asking all my friends to help and no one
could find him. I had the knowledge something was going
to happen -I didn't know exactly what and had no idea
what to do. When I have these very intense and real
dreams, I perceive they are more than dreams-they are
messages for me.

A couple weeks later, my friend was killed on the rail- road

tracks at a crossing when his car stalled out. I decided
this was too much information and I did not want to re-
ceive this any more. I freaked out, and that's when I shut

01/03/23, 19:42 - Maya Rawal: down these capacities

about 90 percent of the way. Many years later, I started
tapping into my awareness and knowing again. My life was
not happy and I was de- manding change. I listened to my
awareness and opened that creaky door and let the sun
shine in. In doing so, I have unlocked many hidden gems
and amazing opportunities by following my instincts.

I play with energy and awareness all the time. I learned

that everything is energy. Have you ever danced with the
molecules around you? So much fun! If you are wonder-
ing how to do this, take a few minutes and connect with
your body, with everything around you. Ask your body and
mind to lower any barriers. You don't have to do anything
else. Ask to expand out in all directions. Feel the
difference with your walls down and your being expanded.
Now ask the energy that is all around you to move through
you. From the earth, from the left, right, back and out
through the top of your head. Close your eyes and feel the
pulsing sensations of energy moving. If you don't feel
anything, that's OK too. Everyone is different in what they
perceive. There is no wrong or right way to do this. You
may have a completely different idea of what works for
your body. Play with that. You know how to do this!
Imagine twirling around like a falling leaf on an autumn
day. Playing with- out a care in the world. How do you feel
now? Do you feel a little more relaxed and happy? Perhaps
a little giggly and childlike?

I am a Realtor® and have learned to use my awareness for

all facets of real estate. I continue playing with the mol-

01/03/23, 19:42 - Maya Rawal: ecules and the energy

around me for business as well. I ask people who are
looking to purchase or sell a home to find me. I have
become specific in asking for the type of clients I desire.
If I am vague in what I ask for, clients appear who are
vague in what they desire. I ask for ease in everything I
do.

A couple years ago, I made a list of things I'd like in my

new home-single level living, a good sized kitchen, a yard
for gardening and a pool and close to the area I lived in to
keep commuting the same. Granite counters, stainless
steel appliances would be great and a must was a
fireplace. I de- sired to move to a single family home and
thought that the move was a little bit down the road in
time.

As a Realtor®, I had a general idea of areas where this

house would be in the price range we were looking in. I
had an idea of what we probably qualified for. Once in a
while, my husband Dan and I would look at homes to see
what was out there. I asked a lender to pre-qualify us for
kicks and grins. I had assumed for so many years that we
wouldn't qualify for much, I decided to actually find out
what that amount was. I casually asked a lender to let me
know what we qualified for.

While I was waiting for the pre-approval from the lender, I

printed out a few homes to view. Some of them were nice
and we decided the area was too far. One home. was 15
minutes from where we lived. We walked in and everything
felt right. Ahhhhhhh. I went into doubt for a little bit. Could
we afford this? It was more than we were paying now and
more than I thought we would be paying. Yikes! Then the
lender told me yes, we could purchase this

01/03/23, 19:43 - Maya Rawal: home if we sold our

townhouse. I thought this was great, but we weren't
ready. Our townhouse wasn't even on the market for sale.
Well, I told myself, it's nice to know there are choices out
there when it's time to seriously look for a new home. The
house had other ideas. I would be going about my

day and would hear the house calling me. I would put it
out of my mind and the thoughts would creep back in. She
was quite insistent. OK, I will go look again. This time I
brought a great friend with me. She was enthusiastic
about the house and loved the energy and the calming
land. I began allowing myself to envision living in this
house. Was the house I had longed for in front of me? I
asked a lot of ques- tions and asked for my awareness to
be sharp. Was I truly choosing this? It was quite clear the
house desired us to live there. I went back a 3rd time to
see how furniture would fit in the home. I asked the house
while we were there if she desired us to live there and
heard a definite yes.

Oh wow, let's put an offer in on the house. I asked my

awareness to let me know what was required to purchase
this house. I heard the answers that the owners were not
going to budge from the list price and they would pay for
some of the closing cost assistance. A friend was
represent- ing us on the purchase and she offered a lower
price on our behalf. I told her I knew the offer would be
countered and she wanted to try. I told her sure, and this
is what they will accept. She gave me a skeptical look. I'm
used to that look now. I smile and giggle to myself. I know
I look weird and that's OK. The offer was made and after
negotiations back

01/03/23, 22:32 - Maya Rawal: and forth, my perceptions

were spot on for price and clos- ing cost assistance. We
had a ratified contract and had to sell our townhouse
quickly.

We had 3 days to get the house show ready. I quickly had

some touch up painting done; Dan and our son Mat- thew
put a lot of things in storage. We had a whirlwind of
creating activity and a gorgeous "show ready" home. The
townhouse was purring with gratitude. I asked the town-
house to attract the family she desired to live there. Inter-
esting that both the townhouse and house have a feminine
energy.
I expanded the energy around the house and pulled energy
through the house and back into the Universe ask- ing
trickles to go to the family desiring to find us. The
townhouse was humming with joy with the questions and
possibilities I played in. We all knew she was ready for her
new occupants. She had been telling me for quite a while
it was time to move. And finally, I was listening!

I perceived that we were going to have two offers on the

townhouse. I also knew one offer was going to be $5,000
less than the other offer. How did I possibly know this? I
didn't question it; I allowed this awareness to exist. I also
knew the higher offer was a family that would be difficult
and demanding. More importantly, the house did NOT de-
sire this family. How awesome is that awareness? I am so
grateful to hear all of this crystal clear.

I included the new house in these conversations and

asked both to contribute to these transactions. I told the
homes that if they truly desired all this to happen, their

01/03/23, 22:32 - Maya Rawal: contribution was required.

Since I knew we were netting $5,000 less accepting the

family everyone desired living at the townhouse, I asked
both homes to contribute monies in other ways. The next
day we had a meeting with the loan officer. He informed
us we could save some of the proceeds from the house
instead of having to put it all down-to pay off some
expenditure AND do some beautification on our new home.
Wowza! Thank you to both houses. How magical! Truly,
how does it get better than this?
The rest of the transactions on both sides went smoothly.
I continued interacting with the homes, staying in
question and possibilities. All of this was created in 6
short weeks! I asked all the molecules of the Universe to
contribute to this purchase. I asked my amazing friends to
contribute their energies. Everyone and everything con-
tributed to this beautiful creation. Magical brilliance!

We are now happily nesting in our beautiful home. We are

painting, fixing and asking the house what she desires and
we are so grateful to be here. Living here has expanded
my life in ways beyond anything I can describe. There is
such a calmness in the house and land.

I was teaching a class in the house and I felt a whoosh go

through my body. It was something I had never ex-
perienced before. It was an amazing sensation and I asked
what that was. I clearly heard the gratitude from the
house thanking me for listening to her and thanking me for
choosing to honor her and the land. She thanked me for
contributing energetically to her. I had chills from head to

01/03/23, 22:33 - Maya Rawal: toe.

I believe we all have amazing capacities and awareness. I

have shifted from a space of not paying any attention to
al- ways listening. I thank my awareness multiple times
every day. Some very strange and random awareness
come in. Do I have to do anything with them? Nope. Thank
you for the information! That was so freeing when I
realized just be- cause I know something doesn't mean I
have to act on this. Do I really know things that can't be
defined or put into

a logical box? Yes I sure do! And so do you. Would you be

willing to consider the gifts you have and

that you know that you know? We all have amazing talents
and capacities. Isn't it time

to be the wonderful you that you truly are? I see the

awesome brilliant YOU. I see that in me too. What gifts
can we all be to the world utilizing your

awareness? What do you know that can open possibilities

beyond your wildest imagination?

When the Whispers of Spirit Got Loud

By Erica Glessing

I was riding my horse up on a stretch of open space in the

foothills of the San Francisco Bay Area when I heard
someone in my head say, "A Grandchild is a Grandchild is
a Grandchild."

I was curious about the message. It was a clear mes-

sage. I rode back down the mountain, and as I was getting
my horse ready for his evening meal, I figured out it was
for the owner of the ranch. The owner of the ranch where
my horse was boarded was in his 80s, crochety, a staunch
Re- publican, hard-headed, and did things the way he liked
to do things.

So, here I was, in my 30s, and the message was basically

shouting at me to tell him. I ignored the message and
forgot about it. A few weeks later, though, I was riding
again up in that same area and got the message again. So
now it's early morning, and I see the owner of

the ranch. He's by himself (uncharacteristically) and I say,

"Do you ever listen to those shows about spirits who have
crossed over?" "Oh I love that," he says. "This morning I
was lis- yes,
tening to my favorite radio show where they always have

messages from people who died."

01/03/23, 22:35 - Maya Rawal: "Oh!" I said. "I got a

message for you. I think it was from someone called
Pappy."

"That's my dad," he said.

"I got the message when I was up in the hills over by the

old house." "That's where I was born, and that was our
family's first house," says the owner. "It was the
homestead."

"Well, would you like the message?" I ask.

At this point he's just too excited for words and he can't
wait. I say, "A grandchild is a grandchild is a grandchild."

That's it. That's all.

As it happens, the owner of the ranch was preparing

his will and he had a lot of property and homes to

consider. He did have a few favorite grandchildren that he
may have cared for a lot more than the "unpopular"
grandchildren. He said his dad, "Pappy," was adamant that
all of his five children should share in the estate-
regardless of gender- an unusual point of view at the time
of his passing. So, it was a perfect message at the perfect
time, and validated.

This was 1998, and I look back at that moment of val-

idation, and so many validations have happened since that
time, and I am so thankful of Pappy and his message. I
won- der what would be different in my life if he hadn't
pestered me for about a month to deliver the words.

Now spirit comes to me easy, and comes to me all the

time. I have but to ask, and the spirit of nearly any
celebrity or family member of anyone I meet will bring
forth mes- sages. I have guidelines, and I sometimes ask
some spirits to

01/03/23, 22:35 - Maya Rawal: leave if I'm not into

receiving the messages they are bring-

ing. My kids have fun with the spirit messages I get. They
roll with it, and they've seen it to be true so many times
it's not even out of the ordinary any more.

We had a lot of fun when my kids took me to Furious 7, the

movie. I'd never seen much of the Fast and Furious series
and we fell in love with that movie. We saw it maybe five
or six times in the theaters. The spirit and energy of Paul
Walker started giving me messages-and my daughter and I
would hear his song on the radio every time we talked
about him! Once when I was in Los Angeles, I was sensing
that he was present and I twittered to one of his co-stars,
Tyrese, and at that exact moment, Tyrese posted Paul's
song on his Instagram that played when he and co-star Vin
Diesel were riding horses with their kids. Then as we were
driving home, we were asking Paul's spirit to give us a
mes- sage if he could hear us. As we got to the drive-
through, the machines all stopped and they gave us our
meal, but it was free, because their cash registers were
acting up. We thanked the spirit of Paul Walker for dinner!

It's this instant of sharing and knowing spirit that shows

up in flashes for me. I never know what the messages will
be, and I'm at times surprised with the content. It's not
always what I expect. So far in about 15 years of
messages, I have had a few messages that couldn't be
validated, but I haven't been wrong-that is-1 haven't had
messages that were out and out incorrect. Once I was
getting a message from a Chinese grandmother, and her
grandson never knew

01/03/23, 22:35 - Maya Rawal: her But she gave me her

name-in Chinese! How wild is that. I was hearing the
messages from a woman who never spoke English, and
she was coming across to share her love for her beautiful
grandson. We were both in awe of that- he experienced
the validity of her messages (about family and family
events that were about to happen in Hawaii) despite never
having met his grandmother in person.

One of my more crystal clear "validations" came from a

woman who was drawn to my energy and began to ask for
help talking to her dad. It was such a simple message. I
said something about bowling on Sundays. I never really
know what will come out of my mouth when I'm doing a
reading. She said she had asked him on her way in to the
reading, if he was really coming through, to mention
something about the Sunday family activities they used to
do together.

Spirit Can Manipulate Energy

It takes energy for spirit but it can manipulate songs on

the radio, and it can show up as a flash of a picture on a
TV screen or an advertisement, a billboard, a blossom of a
flower, or even an image on a T-Shirt. People who leave
the planet but still have ties with you are likely to be
available for you to bring you messages. When you listen
and thank the messages, they may show up with greater
frequency. Or when you are in a big dilemma or major area
of life change, you may feel a more constant pressure of
messages. When all is well and it's all easy and smooth in
your life, you may not connect as often as spirit also has a
lot to do on the other side. They might just peek in on your
life and when they see everything rolling along, they may
just kind of give

01/03/23, 22:36 - Maya Rawal: you a virtual hug and move

on.

When you pray, you are summoning energy from spirit.

There is celestial energy and there is angelic energy. You
have access to everything that anyone else has access

to experience. You have access to any knowledge that is

available on
the planet to know.

You have access to everything!

You can block your awareness and you can stop the flow
of messages. Drinking alcohol or consuming too much
food, exercising too little, anything that is like that in tone
or approach, worrying too much, any of these kinds of
lower vibration activities can block messages from reach-
ing you.

And yet, your intuition and spirit guidance is always

everywhere and in your reach. I wouldn't necessarily re-
quire that an "expert" is needed. You're this far into this
book and this chapter, so I'm going to just say you are
magic beyond belief. You may not see your own beauty,
you may not perceive your own gifts.

In the spirit of inviting spirit, here are a few things that

work for me:

Clear your mind

Know your knowing

Ask questions, ask for help 3. Be prepared to listen with
more-songs, images, feel- ings, movement, light, radio
waves, a flower, a represen tation on a t-shirt, a billboard,
letters on a license plate 4. Sit with a pencil or pen, ask
and let the answers show

01/03/23, 22:36 - Maya Rawal: up as if by magic

5. Create a time and space, an appointment Spirit loves

appointments. Say something like Mondays at 7 am. I'm
going to ask questions of you, will you come and listen at
that time? This focusing of energy is good for both sides
(you and the spirit)

6. When the information shows up, let it come in-the

way you receive it will often generate more of messages

or may close the door too

7. Pay attention to hunches, signals, warnings

Once you are in this space, you will receive guid-

ance

8. Celebrate the messages in your life, celebrate the vic-

tories
9. Ask for more nourishment, unless you just needed "that
one validation to clear up all your stuff" around a passing,
spirit is willing to keep giving. You can keep

chatting with spirit infinitely.

10. Spirit is not the person. The limitations are gone. Let

go of the limitations around how you saw them, and let

them become, morph, change, be new, be fresh

11. If something shows up that you are having trouble

hearing, ask, "Is this valid? What % of this answer is
valid?" One client asked how many of the messages she
receives are real and I got 100 percent. So the mind will
trick and the truth will shine, let it be real for you.

12. See if you can step outside of judging the messages -

they may conflict with how you see you. This is by design
because often the messages are to lift you up or

01/03/23, 22:36 - Maya Rawal: bring you the changes you

seek So they are almost al- ways actually going to conflict
with what you thought unless you were already getting the
message and then you might say oh, yes, I totally knew
that!
Being True

You are here with a vital blueprint, fingerprint, foot- print,

and message. You are the only person who sees things as
you do. You have this snowflake quality of your being that
is truly one-of-a-kind. Awareness can bring you even
closer to your truth. Awareness can bring you into the
high- est place of being you.

And there is more than one truth. So when someone says,

"I am telling the truth," that doesn't mean it is your truth.
It means it is his or her truth. Your own knowing is the
place where you know, and then you honor your know- ing
by acting in accord with this greatness of you.

Being Your Greatness

Spirit is all about your greatness. So if you're getting mean

or nasty messages, it may be,

they are coming from the "other" side. Here's one way to
discern the messages and the spirits you are hearing If it
feels light and expansive and big, it's likely to be at

message that will serve you.

If it feels constrictive, small, or contracting, it's likely

coming from a less than high place and you can ask it to
go away.
As you keep sticking on those messages that bring you

joyful experiences, that guide you to experience more of

01/03/23, 22:36 - Maya Rawal: you, you will keep morphing

into your greatest aspect of

yourself

Now, this doesn't mean sometimes you won't get a

message like, "You're going to be fired from your job." If
you get a message like that, it may be that knowing this
will help you prepare, look for another job, or home, or get
ready for something that won't be fun.

In my experience, I've usually had lots of messages en-

couraging me to look for a better job before I get the mes-
sage that my time with a specific employer is ending. If 1
could listen to those messages earlier, I wouldn't actually
ever have to have a painful split from a job. Because you
hear whispers first then shouts,

Here's an example: I kept hearing that I should get a

hockey mom car (seats 8). I was temporarily driving a
four- seater vehicle that wasn't very practical. I ignored
the whis- pers. Then on Halloween in 2014, a woman came
around the corner and smashed my smaller vehicle. No
one was hurt. I bought a Honda Pilot, seating 8, and now I
have a car that fits everything for my big family. Still, if I
had listened to the whispers, I could have bought the 8-
seater and kept the commuter car. Oh well!

I wish I could say that now that I know spirit exists I

always listen to the guidance. I can be hard-headed and
stubborn, myself. I receive messages from spirit every
day! Every time anyone passes that's big news, I connect
with it and can receive messages from the spirit of that
person. I'm not sure if that's because I was a news
reporter, or if I just am so curious I want to know
everything about everything.

01/03/23, 22:37 - Maya Rawal: Here's one final story that I

like how it ended (so far). A man was in a coma recently in
the hospital. He was a retired professional athlete, and he
was in his 30s. I saw him float- ing around above his body
in the hospital room. He was ex- periencing regret.

I connected with the spirit. I showed him some love

vibrations that he would be missing if he left the planet.
He had touched a lot of lives with his kindness, but he
could only see the crap of his life. His going into a coma
was a way

of saying "this has to change," about his life. I wasn't

opinionated. I said he could leave, too, if that was right.
But he had a very warm woman by his side that could love
him if he stayed around. We chatted in spirit for a few
days. I felt his presence so strongly at times, it was like
he was in the room with me. One night I went to sleep,
and when I woke up, his spirit was gone.
I went onto the news and saw that he had recovered, and
was back in his body. At the time of this writing, he and
his woman had gotten back together from a break up. He
chose life, and he chose to see things differently than he
had. before his near death experience.

I wonder what your life will be like in the years to come?

As mankind begins to experience fewer walls and more
connectivity with spirit, the truth of our experiences will
become brighter and brighter for all of us.

Go for the light. It's shining brightly. I wonder what life

could be like for you when you open to your own greatness
thousands of times more than you do today? Are you will-
ing? That to me is the true energy of spirit.
