Spiritual Journey

YogaLife’s Kish, interviews GIl Alan Spiritual Luminary and creator of the Essentia Spiritus Workshop, a multidimensional journey into the essence of spirit. By opening the door of perception and accessing the wisdom of the heart you can learn to master your own existence.

The experiences I was having were simply unexplainable by any means of conventional rationality. And when I heard the voice of my departed mother on a video that was taken at her grave, it was as if time stood still and everything I had previously known to be true had just been flipped upside down, inside out, and changed my reality.

I had to look outside the box if I was going to uncover the truth. This led me seek help from a talented young medium who connected me to the spirit of my mother.   The information that flowed through our first two sessions together was so clear and so incredibly accurate, I would have been a fool to deny its validity. I had no doubt it was my mother coming through.

Making a connection

Gil Alan talks about becoming a spiritual guide, living fearlessly, and learning to love yourself.

YOU HAD SOME VERY UNUSUAL EXPERIENCES JUST AFTER YOUR MOTHER’S DEATH THAT LED YOU TO BELIEVE SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH YOU, TELL US MORE.

Dubai is a modern magical city that pays homage to the ancient where people from all cultures have come together in harmony. This city is not without its problems but I feel a sense of cooperation here where everyone is trying to keep an open mind and heart - doing their best to make it all work.

WELCOME TO DUBAI, WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSION OF THE CITY?

I have friends here that I wanted to visit. Also a lot of people around the world seem to be so very curious about Dubai, so of course I became curious myself. I also wanted to explore the spiritual awakening here and see if I could offer an additional perspective to this growing movement.

OF ALL THE PLACES YOU COULD TRAVEL TO, WHY HERE?

Yes, it changed everything for me. If I was going to accept that I was really connecting with my mother then I had to accept the concept that we are truly eternal beings, and it was this acceptance that changed my overall perspective on everything.Once my perspective had shifted, my awareness expanded and I was open to greater possibility.

WAS IT THIS LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE THAT ULTIMATELY LED YOU TO CONNECT TO YOUR SPIRIT GUIDES?

I went this this period where I was waking up every morning at about 3:30am. I would hear a voice calling out my name the way you would expect if someone had come into the room to wake you. Sometimes it was a females voice and other times it was male. I would open my eyes upon hearing my name being called, but no one was there, no one was in the house except me.

Eventually this voice began speaking to me in more direct terms, as if I was having a full-on conversation with another person. I didnt know it was a spirit Guide at first, but then it introduced itself to me as my spirit guide, and master teacher. Not too long after that, other guides began showing up to become a part of the team.

HOW DID YOU CONNECT TO YOUR OWN SPIRIT GUIDES?

In the beginning my spirit guides presented themselves to me as teachers and we never really discussed anything personal for myself as they had put me on a fast track to access information to help others. Then one day these guides told me that everyone has spirit guides and their guides are simply the past, present, and future versions of themselves returning to offer them guidance.

I decided to experiment with some of my clients that were coming to see me for intuitive counseling and the results were astounding! I was told to continue connecting people to their own spirit guides so they could access this infinite wisdom and guidance on their own and become their own source of guidance. My spirit guides insisted that this was the new way forward and everything else was just an old paradigm.

WHAT LESSONS DID YOU LEARN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE?

The soul encounters a vast array of experience on its overall journey. Spirit energy (conscious intelligence) places itself into many different physical forms, including human, animal, plant, elemental, and your spirit guides may appear to any of these forms. And although any form of spirit may assist you as a guide, your primary spirit guides, that inner voice that is speaking to you is coming from your soul through your spirit guides that are simply returning from some of your own own past, present, and future experiences to remind you of what you already know and have learned on your souls journey. Your spirit guides are you!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT OUR SPIRIT GUIDES ARE OUR OWN PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE SELVES?

Destiny is simply the outcome of honoring your hearts desire by following through on it. We all have free will and there is no such thing as complete pre-determined results. Our soul and our true spirit selves speak to us through our hearts and it is our choice whether to act on these callings or not.

IT APPEARS THAT YOUR CURRENT JOURNEY AFTER YOUR MOTHER’S PASSING WAS DESTINED, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON DESTINY?

There are a lot of perspectives on karma. Once upon a time it may have been believed that all beings will experience karmic retribution or reward based on your past deeds. But the truth is that karma is simply an opportunity to create balance - and this opportunity is chosen by the soul or spirit of an individual. It’s all about intention to create the balance - it’s about awareness, understanding, and forgiveness. The lesson or idea is in the understanding that you are free to live fully in the here and now by choice, and you can rebalance the energy and circumstances from the past by simply acknowledging it and choosing to act from a place of love.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON KARMA?

What we all fear the most is the unknown. No matter what the specific fear is that you’re dealing with - all fear brakes down to fearing the unknown. But the unknown is where all the magic is. This is why its so important to get connected to your own inner guidance which you can do through the wisdom and guidance of your spirit guides. Once you connect to your own inner guidance you you can receive guidance 24/7 to navigate through all situations in every area of your life. Your spirit guides will help you learn to trust the wisdom of your heart over the rational of your mind so you can see all situations with greater clarity.

When you shift your perspective to embrace change and look forward to the unknown rather than fearing it you will then see the unknown as an opportunity for adventure to co-create in partnership with universe. This is when the fear begins to melt away and you can live fearlessly knowing that the guidance you need is always there to serve you.

HOW DO WE OVERCOME AND LET GO OF OUR FEARS AND LEARN TO LIVE FEARLESSLY?

Self Love is the key to everything. Everything in life is shaped and created by the choices you make. Your foundation of self love is the driving force behind all your choices. Self love is the optical and emotional lens of clarity that you see the world through. The level of self love you hold for yourself creates your vision of the world and becomes the compass that directs you to make all the choices from moment to moment that form the overall picture of your life.

Permanency comes through consistency, and consistency isn’t always easy but it can be achieved by staying connected to your inner guidance. One of the best ways to continue expanding your foundation of self love is to practice speaking and living your truth, and to stop denying yourself all that your heart desires.

IN WHAT WAYS HAVE YOU CHANGED SINCE EMBARKING ON THIS JOURNEY?

This book explores the premise of reincarnation through a collection of fascinating short stories taken from some true past life experiences of my clients as well as some of my own. The stories are all about the human condition and the consequences of the choices we make. After each story there will be a short discussion of how that particular past life experience affected the client.

I’m also including an entire FAQ section all about reincarnation and other related questions to help the reader gain greater insight into the truths and myths regarding reincarnation. I like to think of the book as a timeless journey of the heart that may lead one off the murky path of superstition and into the light of super consciousness.
