Guidance and Intention
Topic: Guided Messages
~ Namaste ~ Fellow Souls and Spiritual Path travelers! I disappear to find and tune my own path every few months. We all have similar periods, where knowingly or unknowingly, we come across evaluations of our lives and paths and get to choose which road to travel. These choices may not always be apparent, but are choices nevertheless. Our intentions, our thoughts about how we want 'things' to work out, or situations to unfold, or career to path, or the relationship to shape up, or shape out are all choices, whether we make them consciously or are hoping to turn out a certain way (i.e. putting out intention and thoughts out there in the world). I went through a period last year where I was presented with, and thought I wanted a particular choice. Going down one path seemed like happiness and eternal bliss to me at that time. This path was new and emerging, had freshness and excitement, and seemed to be drawing me to it. The other path was the well-trodden path. I had been there, knew it inside out, and the 'comfort' of it seemed like a safe choice. My favorite poem all my life has always been Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. It's all about choices! "... I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. " Throughout the period that I was presented with the chioces, even though my selfish self at that time was leaning in one particular direction, I kept praying, sincerely praying, that the Almight manifest whatever was in the highest good, for me, my family, and all involved. Whatever kept me true to my spiritual path and led me closer to God. I did this daily for months. I had resolved that I would not take that first step; that whichever way God wanted it to go, would be shown to me in action. I truly truly truly think it was the intention that the best manifest, keeping me closer to God, that saved me from making what would probably have been one of the worst mistakes of my life. In restrospect, if things had turned out the way I wanted, and sequence of events after that occurred that I know of now but didn't know would happen at that time, I would have taken many steps backward in the spiritual learning cycle. In the cycle of karma as well. I THANK GOD for being the Guidling Light, and for reminding me to turn to him/her to be that Guiding Light. The intention that God help me make the choice at that time was so much stronger than any bias I had at that time. While I had thought if I should pray for my biased choice to manifest, I could never bring myself to do it. What is the point of this article, you ask? That we come across life changing choices periodically. We may think we know the answer, or know what 'we' want. I humbly request you to try praying for guidance, to put out your sincere intention in prayer that God help you with your choice. And wait for His miracles to unfold!!!!! God Bless!

Your Spiritual Path - Finding, Loving, and Living It
Topic: Guided Messages
Starting today, I will be writing what I am guided to in this blog. I sincerely hope it will be helpful on your own spiritual path. I have to start by describing a spiritual path. What is a spiritual path? What does it mean? How is it picked? These are all important and profound questions. The answers are much simpler, yet equally profound.
I believe, one's spiritual path is neither picked nor chosen in the beginning. We happen across it. Usually by virtue of good karma. If you had good karma and enough spiritual awareness in the last lifetime, you will usually find yourself in the spiritual path where you left it off last. Sometimes, you may have to re-learn some of the spiritual lessons you learned or lived through in the last lifetime. And that is where you start. If you had a certain level of God Awareness, or Divine Awareness, you'll still have it. You'll learn it by the time you come into young adulthood. Here's an analogy. Say you had a certain amount of wealth at age 22 from working summer jobs that you deposited into a bank account. You left it there and continued on with life. Perhaps, even forgot about it. At age 50, that wealth is still there. So is the bank account. You may have to make the effort to remember the account number, perhaps even the bank, and how much you deposited, and what the rules of the bank are, and how much interest is paid etc, but the wealth is still there. Right?
So we come into this world, I think, with God's Blessings to be able to retain or relearn that which we learned in previous lifetimes. And beyond that, we must exercise Free Will and a Good, Kind Heart to remain on it. So how do we know if we're on the right spiritual path? There is no right or wrong. All doors lead to the Divine. The aim is all one - to attain moksha. To be free from the cycle of life. To exist only and only in the spiritual state and be One with God.
Open your hearts. Listen when your Spirit, your Guides, or your Conscience tells you something is right or wrong. Live and Love Sincerely. You yourself have access to divine information, if you just open yourself up to it. Let No Harm be done through you. In words, in thoughts, or in actions. And yes, you are on the right spiritual path. Am I that perfect? No, I am not. I give myself the 'I am Human' excuse. I use it liberally with myself. But I know every time that it is an excuse only, and not a valid reason. And I resolve to try to better the next time. You can too! We truly can make a difference by being the best spiritual human beings we were meant to be. :)
God's Love and Light To You!

The Enlightenment and Journey Continues...
Topic: SpiritualEvolutionJourney
It has been a while since I penned my thoughts in this blog. I will do my best to be more regular going forward. The Course in Miracles continues. And in God's World, they abound. Earlier today, as if to re-inforce this thought, in a conversation with an acquaintance we asked how each other's families were doing. As I thanked God for the miracles my parents have been shown in terms of health issues and recovery this past year and us along with them, she re-iterated that God's Will worked such beautiful magic and miracles where man least expects them. A relative of hers was in the ICU for the past few weeks, after their third heart attack. The second heart attack had been years ago. He had almost died and had been without oxygen for 10 whole minutes. When they were able to revive him, he slipped into coma for six months. Doctors expected him not to be able to function cerebrally if he ever recovered out of the coma due to oxygen deprivation. Well, he recovered and how! And came to be known as the Miracle Man in his family. I heard how he had lived a full, joyous, and completely mentally alert life after that incident. Not very unlike what my own mother got the chance to do recently. As he now lay in the hospital ICU after his third heart attack, she told me that his mind is fully alert and his will to live strong. His body is failing him, but he is fighting. And they are looking for one more miracle to happen. This was my Course In Miracles for the day in action. A touching but splendorous tale of God's Will and Beautiful Divine Plan. I reach out to all of you today to ask you to do what I am doing. Take a look at your own lives everyday, and see, recognize and be grateful for the many many miracles God Blesses Us with everyday. Sometimes it may not feel like it, but just the fact that we have someone for another day, or another moment, is sometimes a miracle in itself. God Bless Us All! God's Love, Light, and Blessings To You All! Ailene

Happy ~Navratri~ to All, and a Lot of Love too :)
Topic: SpiritualEvolutionJourney
Jai Mata Di!!!!! As all Hindus, and some non-Hindus like me, celebrate the nine days and nights of Maa Durga, I wish all of you a very Happy Navratri. Maa Durga is the ultimate female Divine Presence in Hinduism. She has the Shakti of Lord Shiva himself, and is known as MahaShivShakti as well. There is no Male Divine without the acknowledgement of the Female Divine. Most Hindu male gods are addressed as 'Sri' prior to their name e.g. Sri Krishna, Sri Ram or their female counterparts names are added prior to their own such as RadhaKrishna or SiyaRam. 'Sri' is the female Divine, and the female Divine must be worshipped prior to or along with the male Divine for prayers to be considered complete. Especially when it is Maa Durga. Maa Durga has many forms, nine of which are worshipped during Navratri, one on each of the days. The three main 'roops' as present at one of the most important shrines, Vaishno Devi, are the pindis of Maa Maha Saraswati, Maa Maha Lakshmi, and Maa Maha Kali. Maa Maha Saraswati is the keeper and giver of wisdom, learning, and education. Maa Maha Lakshmi bestows wealth prosperity, and abundance. Maa Maha Kali is the destoyer of evil, especially within our own selves. 'Maa' means mother in Hindi. 'Maha' means 'ultimate'. The trinity blesses us to destroy the evil within our own selves and in our lives, and with prosperity, wisdom, and learning. May you all reflect on the blessings you have in your life, be grateful, and be inspired to be true to your own Self and to the God and Goddess within you and in which you believe. Jai Mata Di!!!!! ~Namaste~

An Awakening and ~ The Connection
Now Playing: Post 2 of my Spiritual Evolution Journey
Topic: SpiritualEvolutionJourney
Over the last few weeks, I found myself getting progressively aggressive, angry at large and for no reason sometimes, and unhappy. There was so much in life that I knew was being created around me by my subconscious. And while those creations could have been out of Love, a lot of them were manifestations of my fears. A fear of scarcity in abundance and love that I should not have had, but as I began to see the manifestations, the fear grew until I turned to psychic help. My husband and I were trying to make a really big personal and financial change. It was a huge commitment. I knew that my connection with Spirit had weakened. I tried to revive it on my own, but my fears of the present and future were in my way. I decided to reach out to some psychics I had known and trusted as teachers, and to some others that I did not know at all to see if what those that did not know me personally saw as my direction in Life. For about a week, I think I became a psychic junkie. Reaffirming the message I knew was out there, and that I wanted to hear. For about a week, I became that which I tell people not to become. To only use external psychic guidance to the extent that rings true with your heart, and never to become a psychic junkie. It was almost like I was testing everyone out there. But deep down it started dawning that it was also because I was looking for someone to say something that helped me make that unmistakable connection with my own higher Self. Once I realized and acknowledged that consciously, I started looking for Spiritual Teachers. I had felt my grandfather around me in the past few days, and knew I had to try and make a connection. He had been very spiritual and was a psychic medium himself, and worked with his Spirit Guides very often. I found a few online, and even tried to reach some renowned psychic readers off of Bob Olson's list. I should have known that all of them would have a significant wait list. My spiritual longing and needs were a bit more urgent than those wait lists allowed. My breakthrough came during one reading. I had been invited to test for a website called PsychicCosmos a few months ago. I knew the energy there was mostly of top quality psychics and mediums. There were some with whom I didn't particulary have a connection. But Marie on that website was fabulous. Not because she gave me psychic information that nobody else knew. But because she was able to touch me with spiritual guidance on the path we should all follow. "Miracles do happen. You have to believe in the Power of Intent. You have to look within Yourself to connect, not externally." DING DING. That clicked immediately. No wonder I had been searching with so many people and had not been able to connect. The connection lay within me and upto me. I knew I had to start using Reiki again. I felt like a student starting all over. I decided to seek Reiki attunements again. And for that, I reached out to Catherine, my original spiritual teacher. She was wonderful as always. It took her less than ten minutes to tell me that I didn't need another attunement, merely the knowing that I have access to all that I always did and always will. We meditated briefly in that time, and she asked my Higher Self to do that which I requested. She barely had time to finish saying, "You should be feeling a difference any moment now with energy flowing". I was feeling it alright. It, spiritual energy, was flowing in me. And I felt my energy shift and align with my Highest Self. It literally felt like a big click of two Lego pieces together. Instantaneous joy and relief! I knew then that I have to carry Catherine's words with me forever. "When you are connected to your Higher Self, you feel light, happy, ready to crack a joke, and yet know that everything is right and your path is right." I had missed that feeling, and I was so grateful and thankful and happy to have it back. That night as I lay in my bed, I asked my Highest Self to show me my path in the next few days, the next few months, and in my Life. All I can say is that I spent that night consciously knowing even in my sleep that I was being shown my path. And the only way I can describe it again is that it was like an entire set of Lego blocks being moved to solve the puzzle till it was in the state it should Always Be! Thank You, Spirit! I have been working on this connection for the past few days. Since I wrote the first blog entry about this spiritual Evolution Journey. I ask Spirit, my Guides, and my Highest Self for help constantly. I believe I was led to find 'A Course in Miracles'. I sought and bought this amazing book the very day I found it. It is such deep material that I think it will take quite a lot of time to go through it all. But so much of it rings true with my heart. The depth of the wisdom and insights there are such that I have to stop very frequently, sometimes to go back and re-read sentences several times to internalize them, to understand and have them be part of my Spiritual Realization. "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Therein lies the peace of God." - From A Course in Miracles. An amazing connection occured last night as I was about to sleep again. I asked for a connection with the Highest Self and with the Creator. Previously, if I ever imagined a connection with the Creator, then my religious background would have me connect with any of the Hindu deities, perhaps Lord Shiva or Maa Durga, or perhaps a male Christian God. The Connection I was given last night was AMAZING! As I sought to see what I thought I should, I saw an endless block of Divine Energy! I could not describe it as anything different. As I tried to see up close, what I saw was amazing. Everywhere I turned, I saw not only those I expected to see, but the images of Divine Spirit that many other generations and cultures and even Animals believed in. I saw so many of the God Images that people believe in, and all of the Scriptures that are considered sacred within this Energy. An Egyptian god, a prehistoric one, Mongolian, Lord Buddha, Lord Vishnu, Amazonian Females, and so so so so so many more that I could easily write ten more paragraphs and not cover it. I can continue to describe it, but it would not come close. I think what Spirit tried to show me, what the Divine Presence allowed me to see, was that God is all One! All forms of God lead to the same Divine Presence! All of them! We are all Children of God! And we have to treat everyone as our Brothers and Sisters! We have to come from Love! There is no other way! No fear, no hatred, no anger! Because we only get back that which we give! I leave you with this thought today, and will continue to report as I progress. God Bless All in His Highest Light! I Bow to the God In You! Namaste~

A New Beginning
Topic: SpiritualEvolutionJourney
Hello All! Light Greetings to All of You! I have had quite a year - personally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It's been a year of changes, of personal evolution. There was so much going on and so many things on the plate that somewhere along the way spirituality took a backseat. I decided to stop doing readings late last year when my mother had a hemorrhagic stroke. I could not energetically handle the emotions, the recovery, the ongoing life and have something to give to a reading. It would just not have been fair. Now, is a New Now! Today, I have promised myself to reconnect with my spirituality. I feel like a beginner. I have been 'out of touch' or 'out of sync' so to speak for a few months. I realized when I tried to touch base with my own guides that I faltered not in my connection, but in my faith of the connection. That's when I knew that the journey must start almost like it is anew. I knew that I needed to keep a record of my thoughts, dreams, inspirations, and paths through this journey. I thought of keeping a written diary, and had to admit that I was lazy enough not to and that it was a lot easier for me to record it online. I could add notes or recollections without crossing out entire lines if I needed to. So here we are! This blog, going forward, will record the journey as I evolve once again as a spiritual being. I promise to be here often enough to record and report. The next blog entry will have more of the build up for the need to reconnect. I hope that I can inspire someone, nay many, to trust and find their own spiritual connections with their Higher Selves, with their God and Guides as we go through this journey. I Bow to the God in You! Namaste!

The Israel-Lebanon War
Now Playing: http://www.enlightenspiritualcenter.com
Topic: Premonition
The night of Monday, July 10th, 2006, I was given a premonition dream of the Middle-East conflict that would start that week. I dreamt that I was shopping in a congested small street. I was made to feel like a resident, carrying on life as normal, with the thought that I was to go home after the shopping. My family, my husband would be waiting. I was then raised to stand on a higher floor of a building. I did not look down so I can not tell how high, but it did not feel 'high-rise' high. From there, I could see the airport. I then saw three airborne object close together rushing to the airport. I could sense that these did not belong there and were not there for peace. I was then made to feel like I was sitting on these objects to assess what they were. From where I was sitting, I saw the 'nose' of one of these objects. It felt similar to the 'nose' of a small airplane. My assumption at that time was that these were three small airplanes headed for the airport, but I kept rejecting it because I knew that if airplanes were as 'close' as these objects were riding/flying, they would collide prior to getting anywhere close to the airport. My energy was then swept and retained behind these objects as I noticed them blast straight into the airport. It felt like one hit the airport building, and two hit the airport grounds or tarmac. My energy was then pulled back to where I was standing with my 'husband' watching this from a building. I was terrified, and did not know what to do immediately. I was fearful for my life, and I knew that for all of us to be safe, we had to abandon our home and go. I then looked upward and around. I could see a great water mass, and I could see mountains. In my mind, I knew the city was not safe and the word 'tragedy' was associated with it. I kept repeating to myself that we had to head for the mountains. We had to head for the mountains, and I was urging my family members to do so. We would only be safe there. The water mass seemed like an avenue that was not open to escape. The next day, I consciously tried to run through the dream and see if I could pin down the geography of the place that I was shown. I knew that an airport was going to get hit. I have since learned that the Beirut airport was the first target in the Israel-Lebanon war that started two days after this dream. I empathize with those that have lost loved ones, homes, and protection of life as they knew it from both countries. May God's Light, Love, and Spirit Heal You.
