Spiritual Teacher


     FAQ

Q:  Will consulting a spiritual teacher conflict with my religion?

A:  It could, depending on how fixed your ideas are! 

My favorite quote, from 7th grade English:

 “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t be of afraid of the truth, even if it means seeing that you've been wrong - or that you will need to change.  If you're afraid, ask someone to meet the change or the fear with you. Then, with experience you'll learn to trust this process. You'll learn that that is exactly how God teaches us.  

If that doesn’t sound at all good to you, please don’t call me.  I’m a catalyst!  A loving one, but a catalyst, nonetheless.  If your desire is to stay the same, find another teacher or counselor.

  
Q:  Is Shanti Mai a teacher from a particular school or order?

 A:  No.  I’ve found Truth in many, many places – I make a policy not to discriminate!

Q:  Was the name Shanti Mai given by her spiritual teacher?

 A:  Yes, by one of my teachers, Prasad.  “Shanti Mai” means “Mother of Peace” in Sanskrit.

 

Q:  Don’t most spiritual teachers study with an enlightened master?

  A:   Yes, many of them do.  There are always exceptions.  Ramana Maharshi, at the age of 16, became enlightened by facing his fear of death.  Eckhardt Tolle became enlightened when in the depths of a long and bottomless-feeling depression. - So if your life isn’t perfect, you’ve got great fodder for enlightenment!

Autobiography of a Yogi is a very beautiful and moving book by Yogananda, an enlightened Indian master who came to the United States to teach early in the 20th century. I recommend it highly!


Q:  Why is a spiritual teacher doing intuitive reading?

A:  A better question would be “Why is a spiritual teacher including Intuitive Readings as part of her teaching?  And the answer is: It’s all words!  “Intuitive reading” is a phrase people know to search for when looking for clarity, for guidance. And that’s what a spiritual teacher is all about – providing guidance and clarity.  My intuitive readings are not superficial predictions, make no mistake about that. If you don’t want to risk deep self-awareness, don't call me!

The term "Spiritual Teacher" does not indicate any particular religion, but spiritual awareness and the ability to teach! I'm a spiritual teacher who is conscious of every step I've made toward enlightenment (toward liberation from ego, liberation from suffering) - and an excellent teacher.
