Shanti Mai - Intuitive Spiritual Counseling

Recognizing that Oneness, experiencing it in a session, can have a powerful impact on your relationships, your work, poverty and prosperity issues, health - any and every aspect of your life.

Intuitive Spiritual Counseling requires only a desire for truth and an interest in experiencing your unchanging nature, inner peace. Learn to identify suppressed emotions and to distinguish between intuitive guidance and ego. Shanti Mai can help you find yourself, then learn to teach and heal yourself!

A: A silent mind is the tool I use, a tool readily available to anyone. This is why I love to teach my work! At our source, in what has been called the vaccuum state, Creative Intelligence, The Field, and numerous other terms, we are very literally connected. Later I will include more scientific information and sources for this. For now, a book I love comes to mind: The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.

I begin any session with Silence. I help you to quiet your mind and body. In this joint silence, we are connected. It's easier for you to feel the truth. I don't want you to just trust me, I want you to learn to trust yourself and to find what's really true for you.

Often we don't know what our truth is and are at odds with ourselves, believing our surface (and often, defensive!) thoughts. This is why affirmations often don't create the change we desire. I call this effect "The Undertow".

Q: How does a tarot reading or astrology differ from intuitive spiritual counseling?

A: That depends a lot on the reader or astrologer, but my experience with them shows these general differences:

1) I'm strong with my clients when they need it. I may be challenging if I feel guided to be so. You'll see these words in many of the testimonials - clients grateful for loving challenge. Perhaps you will be, too - - not that that happens in every session!

2) I'm not willing to focus mostly on your future. (That's no way to get there, as the only things you can change are right now.

3) I have a strong love for my clients and a strong energy field, so there is an element of healing involved, even though we may be talking about your work or business.

A: No. You don't have to believe in God by any name or concept whatsoever. HOWEVER, I can't do much of anything for a died-in-the-wool cynic. Openness is required. Working with a cynical client requires a lot more time.

Just be as open as possible. Notice any fear, and certainly notice any skepticism. Tell me about it - then you won't need to keep showing your skepticism and acting it out. We can work a lot faster in this way.

A: No. Censoring never works. It reminds me of an analogy taught to me more than 25 years ago, and it's still useful. Picture a funnel above your head: If you reject what starts to come through the funnel because you can't see what the rest of it is or because it's not what you thought you wanted, you'll never receive what was coming through. My work is like that: No censoring ever works. It merely stops the process.

Q: How do you do a session?

I sit quietly with my client to start. If they are present with me, I have them hold my hands and look into my eyes. It has nothing to do with hypnosis. When you sit with a quiet mind gazing into the eyes of another you start to sense the Oneness, you start to see the other seeing You. It helps you to see yourself when someone is looking at you with no agenda, with no preconceived ideas, looking at you with innocence.

It’s very important to me that my clients sense, as much as possible, the truth that I feel and that I impart to them. I want them to have a learning experience, to know that they can learn to do this themselves. Otherwise, all they can do is trust me, or not. And that’s not enough.

Sometimes when I sit silently with a client, I sense a strong emotion. If so, I tell them that and we go back to silence. When I feel we’ve both “dropped” into a feeling of no-mind connectedness (or as close as the client can get to this), we begin. Generally, if I’ve felt a strong feeling in them, this ends up being a focus of our session later, as it unfolds.

I simply follow my intuitive guidance. Sometimes I hear a specific word or phrase (clairaudience). Sometimes I suddenly Know (clairsentience) what is needed, what is true for my client.
