Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, I am an engineer facing a testing time in my life.  I have never been passionate about my profession. Recently I got interested in past-life regression therapy and attended a training program. I strongly feel that my life’s purpose in this incarnation is to heal. I have no doubt that I can contribute in healing work much more than I am presently doing in my career. I wish to become a full-time therapist and practice in my home country, India. This will also give me an opportunity to be with my mother, who is getting old. There are two blocks to this happening: I am well-paid in my profession; my wife wants me to take up full-time therapy after 10-15 years when I retire (I am now 46). The first block is easier to overcome: I am confident that with my good intention of doing healing work, the universe will support me and I will be provided with enough money to cater to my needs. What I am concerned about is how I can convince my wife. Please advise.  Also, is it possible to find out the right time to move back to India?  ~Sridhar, UAE

ANSWER: Until this stage in your life you have been living in your head, always thinking, thinking, thinking in the physical world. You recently had an experience where you were opened to the rest of existence, the non-physical world. This also awakened in you an awareness of energy vibrations in other people that may be sensed and balanced by those who are open and sensitive. This is the ultimate in healing of the physical body.

You have been a healer in many of your past lives and you sense the satisfaction that helping another can bring to you. Your engineering career was something that family and society drove you into. If you look back, you can see that you were convinced by others that it was the right thing for you to do. That was the reason you were never able to get passionate about your work.

The blockage you feel is really singular. All the negative energy is coming from your wife. She is used to being the wife of an engineer, a very prosperous, respected profession. She does not understand hypnosis, the unconscious mind, and the need to balance the energies within the body. You would be able to bring to you all the money necessary to support your family, but you would not be viewed by your wife as a professional person any longer. She feels she would lose status among family members, society, and her friends. Her fears cannot be overcome.

It is time for you to exercise your freedom of choice. If you are miserable in this current job it is time to ask yourself: what do you feel like doing? You have completed all of your life-lessons that you went to the UAE to learn. You will not find any additional spiritual learning experiences there. Remember there are no right or wrong answers to your questions, but it is vitally important to honor yourself.
