A few years later, I started an apprenticeship with my teacher, Mirabai Devi,
that lasted several years. During that time, I experienced periods of Samadhi,
when I would lose thought and be lost in a state of divine bliss that felt like
pure, blazing light, which culminated in a kundalini awakening that lasted for
months and months, with the energy rising up from the base of the spine like
hot lava and moving through each of my chakras. It was during that time that I
began to channel, and downloaded three books of spiritual wisdom, the first of
which, Seeds of Light, was released in March 2017.

Each of these moments required me to let go of who I thought I was, and the
manifestation of the books was the single most important step in letting go. When the higher
consciousness was transmitting wisdom to me, I had to relinquish control over the very words and
thoughts coming into my mind, as I scrambled to type them into my laptop. I couldn?t control any part of
the process ? including my own role in it. I had to surrender to the higher wisdom speaking through me.
None of those experiences was to bolster my ego; I didn?t
go looking to manifest channeled works. To the contrary,
they were all steps in a process of letting go of the parts of
me that I held onto. The more I held on, the less I could
manifest. The more I let go, the more room was available
for manifestations that had nothing to do with my own
plans or my ego?s view of what my life should look like. I
was being taught to live according to the precept ?Let go
and let God.?
When you commit to working with the Law of Attraction,
there comes a time when it helps enormously to be
brutally honest and ask yourself: In what ways am I
making my manifestations all about me? When you?ve
answered that question, now you?re ready to let go of
where you?re holding on to the self. Letting go can be a
scary process for many. The starting point, which many
readers will be familiar with, is letting go of the results of
the manifestation.
Letting go of how your wishes will be materialized is a critical step in using the Law of Attraction. You
have to develop trust that the outcome will materialize in ways that you cannot anticipate. But notice
how this is still about your wishes. There?s still some effort to control. The wish is your wish, and that it
will make your life better. Learn to trust that a wish that is meant to make other people?s lives better
will most definitely make your own life better too. But your intention has to shift so that your purpose
is about serving a greater good (again, without a sense of sacrifice or victimization).
Letting go of the self and dedicating your life to a greater purpose is no easy task. It?s the work of a
lifetime. But I want to share a breathtakingly simple technique that you can use to peel away from your
focus on your self: Let go of the word ?I? and embrace the word ?we.? Use ?we? in your affirmations, in
your vision boards, in your creative visualizations, and in your prayers. It?s a simple but profound shift
in mindset. ?We? can refer to the people with whom you collaborate. ?We? can be you and your
