Announcing my YouTube channel, Eclipses, and Channeling

I come to all of you from Stardate August 20, 2016. In the last four years, I have grown, changed, traveled and lived in some amazing cities. I'm about to release my book, "Persephone Rising" in February 2017. I've had tons of adventures and am starting my own YouTube Channel under SareenaBeana.
The startling discovery I made was during the last 2 weeks. I rewound back to 2012, and living full time in NYC. I was part of many spiritual groups there, including the MetaCenter, Brahma Kumaris, SQ Wellness, Vipassana Meditation and Subud. In all of these groups, we thought 2012 was the year of Ascension. Except it may not have been. The Gregorian calendar was a refinement to the Julian calendar of 0.002% according to all the Equinoxes, solstices, and leap years. He didn't yet take into account the tilt of Earth's orbit over 540 years which would also make a difference! This adjustment took place in 1582. Now, Pope Gregory XIII differential from Julian calendar to Gregorian calendar was 10 days. Of course, as time moves on and we approach 2016, my understanding is the differential builds up. My point- what if our calendar is off, by say 4 years and we are just approaching the Ascension of 2012? What if we had an extra 4 years in getting ready for this process. If you look at the enormous acknowledgment and recognition of light workers over the past 4 years, it's astounding. We have methods now to evolve in our consciousness on the planet which we didn't have 4 years ago. As I celebrated the Leap Year this year, I have felt the magnitude and energy build up. Which brings me to my next point, the Eclipses. Every astrologer and psychic I know has talked up these eclipses as nothing short of a roller coaster ride. We have a Solar Eclipse Sept. 1 in Virgo and Lunar Eclipse in Pisces Sept. 15/16.  In the Solar Eclipse Sept. 1, we are looking at Sun in Virgo square Saturn opposing Neptune. Whoa! Saturn is not my best friend, but in this eclipse he could indicate loss of energy, depression, illness. The North Node is in Virgo, Moon in Virgo, Venus in Virgo, etc. Interestingly enough, I'm extremely qualified to describe this energy. I have 6 planets in Virgo in my natal chart. How does that feel? It feels incredibly heavy sometimes, like every decision is important. So, yes, around this time, folks may have to make a major life decision. Having Neptune and Saturn aspected are like trying to walk on a tightrope while carrying an extra 50 pounds and you don't remember which side of the parallel universe you are in- good side or bad side. So, also doubt. Lots of it. Then there is the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces conjunct Chiron and squaring Marsm. So we are set with the purpose of deleting the parts of ourselves that do not work or roles which are outdated.  We also have Black Moon Lilith and Juno conjunct in Scorpio. Holy moly! That is desire for a soulmate that is so strong you will do whatever. Well, what would you do? Attend a workshop to release issues? Emotional healing? Candle magic? Soulmate course? Lunar Eclipse? Definitely a "pressure cooker" atmosphere. Anytime, you have Mars, you have violence, passion, aggression, even an aggressive act. As I do, since the days of NYC, just breathe and take in a sauna, jacuzzi or massage during the Eclipses. They are hard on everyone's nervous systems. The Gemstones I would pick to help people Sept.

1 would be Himalayan quartz, Ruby, citrine, pyrite. The crystals I would pick for the Full Moon would be Kyanite, Kunzite, Black Tourmaline, Rhodochrite, Iolite, Celestite, angelite, rhodonite, and Red jasper!! My YouTube channel will be devoting to starting monthly astrology, Channelings. Ascension classes, and one on one Soulmate healings. Take care and enjoy the Summer while it lasts!

The "New Generation of Cults"

My Experience
After having an experience in early January with two very sheltered individuals who were in a "modern day cult", I realized that there are quite a few "textbook" psychologists who believe themselves to be the next Carl Jung. Neither of them had received  even at least a BA in Psych. They proposed to "counsel" me. What I observed was a "strong, internal dialogue urging me to run". They surrounded me with scrutiny+ inquiry. Only hours later, one of them expressed that she had difficulty keeping friendships.  Shocking! This was the oddest pair I've found in the Bible Belt
 She has the hugest shadow of wounded female ego while he continues to enable her codependent relationship. These two who have never ventured out past their own backyards believe that they have tools to "guide" me.

Also, a growing number  of white people who have never partook in Indian culture have adopted Hinduism. This was reflective of the two individuals I met. I am of Indian origin. I have had over 6 years of doing seva for Mother Ammachi, Mother Meera and Sri Amma Karunamayi all over the US and Canada. I have participated in many pujas, darshans, satsangs and other programs. As an experienced Vipassana meditator, I start each morning with 1 hr of meditation. This is a very useful tool for looking at reality in our world. There is something to be said about experiencing outside disciplines and cultures.
Exclusivity
The two I found were extremely closeminded and did not receive differences of opinions at all.  One thing I noticed is both expressed an intolerance for people, stating that most people are OK, but have "limitations". Also, every other modality outside of their methodology has "limitations".
Shaming and Character Assassination
Healthy leaders maintain privacy, protect the weak and empower people. What I noticed with this couple is they engaged in "shaming" of their former clients and friends by giving me private details of the healing sessions. I never asked for that info or wished to hear it.
Conclusion
 In a nutshell, I spent 4 days with "self described spiritual
elitists" who have neither a blog, website, working practice, clients nor a social media presence and yet, they believe themselves to be on "the leading edge of spirituality. Wow:)!!

Love, L'Amore, Peace, Paix, El Destino

No doubt all of these were just words for me once. Blank concept. I lived without love in NYC for many years, going through the motions. I dated here and there but never a relationship. As a spiritual healer, I've had astrologers look at my chart. I've had the best psychics in NYC exchange with me to find out why I was blocking love. And my sigh was heavy when I packed my bags for Toronto and New Orleans. I am the Indian version of Elizabeth Gilbert in " Eat, love, pray". Those of my friends and coworkers who have read that book can certainly attest to that. Finally, after being in the warm summer heat and then fall of New Orleans, I believe I've met my match. This is definitely love and it feels like no other feeling on the planet. I imagine I've fought so hard for love. And now, I'm experiencing it first hand through the process of grace. This is what we come to this planet to experience. Last year, I was a group leader for the children's meditation workshop at Vipassana. This year I am in love, and in a relationship. It's true what is said about spiritual work. It brings you closer to who you really are. Bravo! And as the spiritual teacher Derek O' Neill would say to his students after an ardous healing process, "Well done!"

Integration

When we are really curious how people live, we visit that city or town to observe. And if you add to that one is a writer, then you have a pretty curious person with a huge deal of wanderlust. I have checked out Toronto and New Orleans in the past eight months, and it appears that I am trying to match my energy with the city. The city has to have a great deal of horsepower(energy), light, niceties, humor and variety of arts, culture, films, festivals. I am sure that I'm not the ONLY person who has done this. Sometimes it takes a while until we get our frequencies right.

Being able to truly "see"

Over the last four years, this blog has taken on some of the huger topics in life- change in jobs, the ascension, escaping from a physically abusive relationship etc. And some of the lighter topics- Vipassana meditation and a Holistic approach to life, service to God and humanity, goodwill, peace harmony, etc. For four years, I have handled the frantic pace of life, crazy work schedules, publishing guidelines for my book, and life in general. What I'm about to say will shock you- I'm leaving New York City. It's over. My karma with the Big Apple- is for all intensive purposes- done. I am doing this to preserve my sanity and start a brand new life outside the confines of the extreme polarity which exists there. Yes, and I am ready for a softer, kinder approach. Being a warrior will take a toll on you by the time you're 40. Success, ambition, relentless onslaught, dumbed down, desensitization, intensity- all these are words used to describe my experience of life in NYC. I'm happy to report it's now over.

Recently I ripped a contact lens. I had to wait an extremely long time for a pair to arrive and it drove the point home that I am basically blind without my glasses or contacts. I made a decision. I want to see. I want to "see" the truth. I've had glasses since I was 9. I came into this life with the gift of impaired vision, The reason I am calling it a gift is all of my other visible senses and non-visible senses had to work extremely hard to maintain a life in which I could get a "perspective" of life. That work is prepatory.  This morning, with so many problems with my eyes, I visited Derek O' Neill's SQ- Wellness website. I had to squint and hold the laptop way up to my eyes(as you can tell)- since there may be typos in this post. The quote is something like "The way to "see" out of the valley is to take a different perspective. Sorry if I' m skewering this Derek and SQ Wellness people, but I really can't see the screen clearly. As I am writing this, I had an allergic reaction to my contacts and my eyelids started to redden and peel. My eyes are uncomfortable, so I had to order new contacts.
 For the time being, I'm relying more on my hearing, kinesthetics, and spiritual senses.

 But then, I started to think, "Now really, why did I come into this lifetime with the inability to see? What am I missing? It could be said that nearsighted people tend to base life more on logic and thought, rather than faith and perception. We are narrow minded- yes. And our outlook on life is somewhat fixed and "myopic" In my case, this is of stunning proportions. By not allowing my soul to see, I have single mindedly narrowed my way of life, reducing opportunities and other ways of being. Yes, I'm assuming full responsibility for not seeing. Thus, if this is the logic, I can and will change it. I want to see. I will myself to see. Affirmations, healing,responsibility. Another spiritual breakthrough I had is that nearsighted people won't allow life to truly"affect" them, controlling every interaction because they inherently do not trust the world and God. In my case, this is also sadly true. Thouugh, to what level, I never realized before. At this late date and in an effort to regain my 20/20 vision, I am exploring options to heal myself. I belief I can reverse this. I want to be able to wake up and see the world for what it truly is. I now ask the Source and God for it's assistance in regaining my sight. I am ready to see the truth. It may have taken a long time, however, I am open to SIGHT:)!!!!

My favorites for Fall 2014- Voila!!!

Lets just say it was absolutely breathtaking to sit at Custo Barcelona's show this year, and I had fun.

My favorites for Fall 2014 are: BCBG Max Azria, Calvin Klein( of course), Caroline Herrera, Diane Von Furstenberg, Tory Birch and Michael Kors. Michael Kors silohuettes were like a breath of fresh air with his use of deep browns and some greys. Donna Karan's pieces looked a bit dated with all the sheer velvet panels and 70's dresses. The "Surprise"was Georgine. The Georgine Collection was very fresh, very New York -of-the moment, smart womeny and sophisticated.

After Ascension.. when the Dust Settles:)!!!

Well, after the dust settles over what we know in the present New Age World as the "Ascension", we now know and feel tangibly that we are different.
More empowered, we are alive in a world that is consciously creating evry second of every day. This is truly living! Dalai Lama has said some amazing thing about this age of our lives. Satya Sai Baba has passed from this mortal coil and we are expecting his Holy Re-incarnation soon. My teacher, S.N Goenka who taught the ground-breaking meditation, Vipassana in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and 80s, has left his physical body. Nelson Mandela, a being who surpassed his life plan, has passed. Folks, we have a bad-ass of spiritual beings and avatars on the other side pulling for the next transformation of Love. Fundamentally, we are changed. Being in the presence of Love does that. There are some very beautiful healing energies on the planet. The Rising Star system is one of them. Another amazing healer in New Orleans is Rachel Collier. Rachel is a Reiki Master, Licensed Angelic Teacher & Healer, and on her way to become a Rainbow Reiki Teacher as well. Rachel's teachers are Walter Lubeck, Frank Arjava Petter, His Holiness the Dali Lama, Sandra Trimble, Tianne Lastra and the greatest of all of her teachers- Nature, Mother Earth herself. She comes highly recommended and heals the whole of New Orleans. But not only that, Rachel's Angelic healing classes are rocking the house! One of her students Vanessa Patino says, "It's a very powerful class." "All of the angels are souped -up and amplified in Rachel's classes- this is no ordinary Angelic healing! She holds the keys to training a new paradigm of very powerful Angelic healers. All the other metaphysical methods I have previously used hold no candle to this method!" Vanessa is trained as an angelic healer, NOLA/NYC renowned psychic and energy healer. She owns a business: Readings by Vanessa.
Rachel Collier is ready to accept students for 2014 classes. Rachel's website is : www.waychillreiki.com. Vanessa Patino's website info is: http://www.tumblr.com/ReadingsbyVanessa
