Direction & Goals

Picture this: You’re in the shower washing your hair and you’re immediately hit with an intuitive thought of inspiration.

Start that business. Take your project in this direction. Create this product to help people. Reach out to your friend to see how they are doing.

This is something I would venture to guess 98% of people have experienced (after all, our best ideas come to us in the shower)!

However, I would similarly guess that the percentage of people who actually act on these impulses or follow through with their intuitive guidance is drastically lower.

When we suppress our intuitive impulses, we are subconsciously teaching ourselves that they do not matter. Over time, the voice of our intuition gets quieter, and quieter, and quieter.

It never goes away, but becomes so small that we question ourselves if what we’re receiving is really our intuition or if we’re just thinking it from the voice in our head (ego).

The brain of a child until the age of seven is predominantly in the theta brainwave state.

This brainwave state, alongside delta, are some of the lowest wavelengths the brain produces from a frequency standpoint (measured in Hertz). Theta and Delta are associated with REM and NREM sleep (hence the need for baby’s regular nap times), as well as deep states of meditation and hypnosis. As children grow past adolescence, the brainwave state then begins to rise into alpha and beta, which is what most waking-state adults experience.

If you look at a small child, they are always responding to the immediate impulse and stimuli that is most alive for them. Whether that’s turning on music, playing with a doll, or hugging a dog.

Simply put, the child is listening to what is alive for them in that moment. There is no agenda, to-do list, worrying about something they said the other day, or anxiety about financial security. They are simply present living in the moment.

This essence of “listening to what’s alive” has often been lost as we get older.

In my own personal life, I am often struck with profound inspirational thoughts or things to write when I’m in the shower or going for a run. If I don’t act on the impulse, the immediate excitement of wanting to let the words flow from me is lost in less than 20 minutes. What usually happens is that I redirect my focus back to my to-do list and things I “need” to check off in order to have the semblance that my day is being productive.

The loss of flexibility or “flow” of listening to what’s alive can dampen our creative spirits. It can actually prevent us from bringing into being something even more impactful than we can imagine. Our to-do list is often rooted in our myopic view of what we think needs to be done for the sake of progress. Although beneficial, being too rigid can also be detrimental.

“Listening to what’s alive” is our joy and intuition directing us towards something deeper that we don’t fully understand why yet.

That being said, it’s important to discern which impulse is really your creative energy pulling you towards something, versus a habitual impulse of say, reaching for the chocolate chip cookie.

As we ascend into a species which is even more consciously aware of its true essence as the Creator power, I challenge you (and myself!) to lean into listening to what’s alive for you.

Next time you’re in the shower and hit with the inspiration to start a vegan skincare line or simply reach out to that friend from high school, take your ideation one step further than you otherwise would have, and listen to what’s alive for you.

It might just hold gifts you can hardly imagine.

This is why you need an angel reading.

Over the past two weeks I’ve seen a very interesting trend in the angel readings I’ve been giving people.

My name is Neal Bakshi, I’m a spiritual guide and angel medium.

Have you been feeling acute worries about money or your career?

In the past two weeks alone, 9 of the 10 people I spoke with were experiencing big transformations in their career and work life or similarly facing limiting beliefs or worries around money and financial stability.

If any of this resonates, keep reading.

We are in a hugely transformative time right now, likely through the end of April.

You are being asked to go within and deeply analyze the structure of your beliefs, patterns, and habits.

Right now is a collective time for inner healing and breakthroughs to occur.

A wave of transformation is taking place and you’re not meant to go through it alone.

If you’re in need of guidance as you go through this – schedule an angel reading with me today.

The practical guidance from your Higher Self is the calming reassurance you need.

I recently had a beautiful realization and download one morning from my spirit team after practicing Kriya Yoga meditation.

I asked one of my guides named Dorin (a 7th dimensional entity), if there is anything I should know. Their response was, “nothing you don’t already know.”

While this may seem glib, I actually love how the spirits and guides communicate with you to always allow you to choose what is within you for your Highest Good on your own path.

Immediately, I thought to a recent text I saw from a friend who I hadn’t spoken to in months. She was telling me of an impressive #1 accolade she received.

As I picked up on this, I immediately reflected it back inwards. Where do I feel the need for this external validation again in my life?

After chasing after it for years as an investment banker, I thought I left all of that behind me when I transitioned into my new life.

Then it became clear as day – TEDx. I have recently been working hard behind the scenes to land a TEDx talk to elevate my brand, receive accolades, the push the next frontier of accomplishment for myself.

Even in the spiritual world, “the game” can pull you right back in. As you evolve, so does your ego and psyche.

I asked Dorin in this meditation, “How can I let go of my material desires more?” 

The message was beautiful, simple, and a little tongue-in-cheek (per usual) – “You simply, let go.”

It’s a message and advice many would roll their eyes over, because it is easier said than done.

But the fact of the matter is…. It IS that easy.

You simply choose and decide to let it go. Literally, that easy.

They brought in an analogy into my life as it relates to our world.

Imagine a ship you were on is sinking in the middle of the ocean. You have your life vest on, and are holding onto the ship for dear life.

As a few hours pass, the ship is now ready to completely submerge.

You are still hanging onto the ship for dear life, afraid that if you let go you will be out there in the middle of the water with nothing “solid” to hold onto.

If you keep holding onto the ship, the outcome is quite apparent – you will be dragged underwater with the sinking vessel and drown.

However, the fear of letting go is so strong; because the ocean is vast, cold, rough, and unknown creatures lurk unseen behind its misty blue veil.

Yet the part that you don’t remember is that if you let go, you allow for Divine Intervention to take place beyond what your fearful mind is capable of thinking of in the moment.

Being in open water (as opposed to under the water with the sinking ship), a passing vessel has the opportunity to spot you on a search mission. You will be picked up and taken to shore, leading you to a new opportunity you would have never perceived if you had simply chosen to hang onto the ship for dear life.

Letting go is as simple as making the choice to let go. What gets in the way is being afraid of fear of the unknown.

Oftentimes only when the ship is going down and we are faced with imminent death are we actually able to let go.

Letting go isn’t giving up of anything, but rather a surrender into a vast ocean which holds gifts of salvation we can rarely understand with our limited perception.

In the words of the metaphysical text A Course in Miracles, “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” All this means is that only love is real. Anything else rooted in fear is simply an illusion.

If all is unfolding out of love for you, you are only being pulled forward and redirected for your Highest Good through the life situations you face. This includes knowing when to let go. Your choice to give into fearful thoughts is what then creates further separation from your innate Oneness by feeding into the illusion of material creation.

Making the choice to let go and holding steadfast to it, is all it takes.

With this, I personally CHOOSE to let go of my attachment to landing a TEDx as an outcome, and now choose to write my talk as a joyful art free of expectation. Making it into something that is a fun project for me to grow my own ability to connect and relate to people, not for the material result it may or may not bring me. There is no outcome. There is only being.

Take a moment to reflect on your life – what is one thing you want to make the choice to let go of?
