ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My gift of intuition is probably a blessing given to me by my first goddess, my mother, the beautiful Kamlesh Khera. Thank you, Ma, for your kindness and understanding always.

Ursula James, another goddess and a well-known spiritual hypnotherapist and teacher from England, inspired me to write this book.

Yet another goddess, Durga, came into my life almost thirty years ago.

She has been a mentor, guide, and inspiration to me.

My beloved husband, Vishal, and my two beautiful angels, Yuvaan and Yana: I bow to you for choosing me as the special woman in your lives.

A very special thank-you to the publishers and editors of my book, who made it possible to bring these words out into the world. Your faith in me makes me want to write and share so much more with readers everywhere! This book would be incomplete if it wasn’t for my dear friend Shibani Ashok, who tirelessly helped me when I started the first manuscript. She continues to make all my work look great on my website and social media.

God bless you.

And with that, a very loving and special thanks goes to Doreen Virtue, another goddess, for opening up my spirit to the world of angels and goddesses through her beautiful books and oracle cards. I am grateful to her forever.

Throughout the writing of this book, I have sought guidance from all the archangels and my spirit guides. I have received blessings and messages from my goddesses. My gratitude goes to Goddess Dana, the high priestess.

These stories are personal and have shaped the different concepts that have been collated for your reading. This is not a self-help book. All the truths lie inside of you already. You know it all. Come walk with me, and together we’ll find the paths that lead us back home—to our real destination.

SELF-LOVE

There are many stories that have been written about love. Let me tell you one about self-love.

There is this woman I know. Let’s call her M. She attracted many admirers with her joyful demeanor and pleasant manners. M almost knew what everyone wanted and was there for each and every person she met. She was the best daughter, best sibling, best friend, best wife, best mother, and best everything else.

You get my drift.

M was happy being who she was—until one day she wasn’t. This was the day she started feeling a vacuum inside of her, a vacuum she couldn’t understand. She was depressed and feeling lost. She was successful in every way and fulfilled in life, so why did she feel like this?

M was searching for answers, and this was when her life’s journey actually started. This was her journey to find love. This time around, it was about finding love for herself—love of herself. This was the difference.

She began to ask herself why she felt used when she gave of herself to others. Why did she feel let down when her love wasn’t reciprocated? Was it wrong to expect love and service in return for what she gave to others? If love was all that she thought it was, were those around seeing it as something else? Why did the pattern keep repeating itself: M giving to others, who took a part of her and walked away, never looking back? Was she giving too much in the first place? If she stopped giving, would they stop loving her?

Slowly, as each question was answered, M understood that she was not wrong in loving the way she did. She only had to start loving without expectations. She had to start giving only when she wanted to, and not when others squeezed it out of her. She had to stand back and observe that she was offering services that others took for granted. The question that bothered her most was whether she was being true to herself when she offered her love.

It was a pertinent doubt that crept into her, and this woman was now getting scared of her own thoughts.

Was she only showering her love on everyone because she wanted to seem good in everyone’s eyes? Did she offer herself completely, or was she just being a fraud? That was the scariest part. If she was being a fraud, then she was cheating everyone, wasn’t she? She was living a lie. And now M knew that she was cheating herself the most. Yes, she was the lie!

This was dangerous territory she was stepping into. But once the questioning started, there was no looking back. There was no way M was going to turn back now. It was too late. This woman was seeing a different reflection of herself in the mirror.

The universe was watching her very intently through this phase of her life. So the universe did what it does best: it supported her. It started opening doors for her that she had no choice but to walk through. Some of the doors opened easily as she walked through them, and some she resisted opening. After all, it wasn’t going to be easy to see herself as a different person.

Finally, she decided to muster up all her courage and surrender to the change. M stopped resisting. The universe breathed a sigh of relief and started walking beside her again. M then met teachers and gurus and people who pretended to be friends and enemies, lovers and haters … but she kept getting signs that she had to keep walking.

And that was exactly what she did. She walked and fell; she stood up again and walked some more. Sometimes she walked through doors, and at other times she had to squeeze through tiny windows of light. Every time she fell, she grazed herself, but since she had decided not to give up, the universe held her hand, brushed off the dust, and dressed her wounds with care. Then she would walk on once more.

The path to self-discovery and self-love is never easy for anyone. It wasn’t easy for M either. She shed tears of desperation. She lost many people she had thought were there for life. But this woman was a warrior of light, so she marched on.

The final result of this journey was given as a gift to this young woman. She never stopped being a loving wife, mother, daughter, sibling, and friend. But this time around she let go of her desire to please others. M loved on her own terms. She loved because she wanted to love, not because she was fulfilling anyone else’s expectations. The woman became a woman of love for herself. She drew her boundaries in all relationships, and she gave up all bitterness.

By doing this, M wasn’t being selfish at all. She was content and fulfilled, and she would give contentment and fulfillment to others.

This beautiful woman then saw her life take on new meaning, and she became competent enough to offer herself in service to all. Through her own learning and experiences shared, this service benefited everyone she met.

This is the story of M. This is my story.

I offer myself with absolute love to you. I love myself,
