At the age of 52, I am at a loss. It seems to me that whenever I have been passionate about something in life and had the intention, worked towards it and wanted it to happen, it has always rebounded. My husband of 25 years I’m sure loves me in his own way but has never encouraged me in any venture mostly because it takes way from attention given to him. My marriage was on the rocks for most of the 25 years, even as the children were rowing up. I have decided that, since nothing seems to come to fruition despite my best efforts, I will devote my energies, which were previously dedicated to the rest of the world, to him. Although yoga is and will remain the core of my life, I have given up my desire to study Ayurveda and further my knowledge in so many things. At work, I have done my best, not being attached to the results of my efforts, happy that a positive thing was done. I am an intelligent logical woman who has embraced spirituality since childhood. If my Karma is such, what is blocking my path? I don’t feel sorry for myself, I just don’t understand what I could be doing wrong. I have read your books and follow your guidelines as they echo my beliefs but I am at a loss because my essence is compromised by this choice which I feel I must make.

A couple of years ago (11.07) after an accident I started hearing voices they were pure loving voices. Teaching me about life, death the soul, the universe and its power. I have pages and pages of things written (the voices told me to record) I started journalizing.
I was admitted to a psych ward- which I did need because I was manic! I was diagnosed as having bi-polar. After a few days rest and lots of medication I was sent home, I relapsed after missing one dose of medication (an anti psychotic)- I was sent home the same day. I had never felt as happy as I did when this was happening, it was like a flood gate had opened and all the universal wisdom was at my feet, though I could not control the comings and goings of the spiritualistic messages.

It felt like the medication had worked after a month or so, the voices gradually subsided.
I later (03.08) found out that I was pregnant I had a healthy baby boy. I was overjoyed! I treasure him and thank the universe for granting my wishes and giving me a beautiful baby boy everyday. I feel life is the most precious gift I know.
I could confide in no one, so I slowly rejected my beliefs/spirituality due to fear or being judged. Which I deeply regret now.
I moved from the city to a small coastal town as I felt it would be an ideal place to raise a child. I have always had a strong desire to live with nature, I feel at my most relaxed there. I have a partner I have been with him for nearly five years but it hurts me so when he has no time for my beliefs, (because he can not see it, it doesn’t exist). I want to teach my son to know himself & to be one with nature, I feel that both parents need to be on the same page and I don’t know what to do?? Like any other parent I want my child to succeed in life, I know he is destine for great things.
I have always been a dreamer, I lack confidence in myself. I aspire to be like you, I have heard great things my mother and grandmother highly recommend you and your teachings. Living in Australia I’m not sure what avenues to venture, I want to learn and practice what i preach, i want to lead a fine example for my son. I eventually want to inspire others and educate people about the universe and the infinite opportunities available to them. I feel lost because i do not know where to start. Its hurts to see so many sick and suffering people in the world, it hurts me when people take life for granted and care not for mother earth. I really want to help.
I know i can succeed i just lack discipline, is there anything, any books you can recommend that will teach me the best approach?
Thank you for your time, I hope to hear back from you.

I am newly starting my spiritual journey and I have to say it has been quite a ride! As I read books and search the net for food to appease my spiritual appetite, I have suddenly become over whelmed with which steps to take rather than jumping all over the place. Right now I’m beginning to meditate (once a day) and working towards twice a day, I’m also very interested in Aura reading, getting in touch with my intuition trusting it and the big one is realizing my soul desire and life purpose…which I have no clue what it is, what I need to do to figure it out and this is my biggest struggle, almost to desperations. I look forward to your insightful direction to a purposeful, beneficial, spiritual fulfilling life….
Answer:

I have a question about how to introduce spirituality to teens. I was a single teenage mom and now I have a teen age boy 17 and girl 15. My son is very charismatic and very “what can I get out of the world”, my daughter is very compassionate, old soul and “what can I give to the world”. With two very different teens how can I introduce spirituality in a way that will appeal to them, especially to my son.

I have been wanting to ask this for a long time but didn’t want to bother you until had exhausted other sources. Anyhow, for the past year and half have been experiencing something that I haven’t been able to find an explanation for.

When sitting in meditation (i was doing healing bowls then, now chakra cleansing).I began experiencing a side-to-side swaying movement in my upper body–like a pendulum–which I couldn’t control without some effort..that lasted 6 months or so (I thought it was a spirit communicating with me 🙂
Also asked stu wilde about it (did a course with him) and he said side-to-side was a good movement because the body was trying to slip out or something ..which I didn’t understand.

Since then it has been like a spinning + spiralling kind of movement. you know sometimes can feel something like a butter-churning stick in centre of me, which is spinning and around it a spiralling energy–sometimes the spiral stays with the lower 2-3 chakras, sometimes goes up and down. And my upper body moves with it.
and now it’s become so weird that I can feel this spiralling movement if I sit motionless for even a few seconds, like right now in front of laptop! or if standing and chatting at a party or something..what I mean is I think the movement is going on all the time but when I am motionless it becomes obvious..i think.
so what is going on and what am I supposed to do with it?
thanks for any help
