Shifting Attention Within

When you ask us to shift our attention back to the one that’s listening, who is shifting their attention?  Is the Witness shifting its attention back onto itself?

Healing Architecture

I practiced as an Architect for fifteen years and have been practicing holistic healing for six years. I was hoping some day these two areas of expertise will come together, but instead I am feeling confused and restless. 
I have been meditating for several years too, but can not seem to find a clear vision.
What would you suggest?

Psychic Abilities

I have a very important question. My yoga instructor told me when I get enlightened, and my third eye opens up, that my psychic abilities , intuition ,and wisdom will open. Do you know of these psychic abilities? As a Christian I was raised to believe that anything psychic is bad and negative , that anything psychic and astral is demonic and should not be looked into. I’m worried about this psychic ability, can’t I just bypass that and go straight to intuition (higher self)? I have also heard that using the name of Jesus Christ protects one from the astral and psychic realm, and that these realms are the realms of many minds, and not the universal one mind. Is this true, and are there any other names that protects one from the astral and psychic realms?

Surrender

Can you speak to the issue of passion and desire as an ego versus a soul issue. In one of the later chapters in The Path to Love you describe boredom as the suppression of desire, and yet it seems as though surrender requires putting our personal desires aside. How does one hold on to one’s desires without being selfish about it? I imagine there is something in the answer to this that would help me to better understand resignation versus surrender.

Body-type questionnaire

I wish to determine my Dosha so that I can eat correctly.  I have seen several questionnaires on the internet and do not know exactly how to answer the questions.  The reason is because I have been sick for over 15 years and I had a totally different energy level and physical condition and appearance than now.  Do I answer the questions from my natural and healthy experience of my condition right now?  I am located in northeast Tennessee and cannot locate an Ayurvedic person, and if I did, could not afford their advice because my husband has been out of work since last October.  This a lot to ask of you but if you have any advice on how I can help myself I would sincerely appreciate it.
