Intuitive
Spiritual Counseling
Everything is spiritual,
including YOU.
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!

Q:
What does stilling the mind have to do with Intuitive
Spiritual Counseling?
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.
Q: Does Intuitive Spiritual
Counseling involve a belief in God?
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.
Q: Can I ask for
intuitive counseling without the "spiritual" part?
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.
