There is an old Persian proverb that says: "Only that which comes from a heart can touch a heart." In his new book, You Are a Spirit, clairvoyant spiritual teacher Kayhan Ghodsi suggests nine spiritual considerations that touch the heart and open the mind to that which exists beyond the five-sensory world. He invites you to recognize your transcendent, creative, supremely powerful metaphysical self, residing in your body, whose sole purpose is to serve as a conduit for you to experience life. His "nine steps to heaven" are designed to lead you to clear your space of the energy of expectation and judgment, and trust your spiritual essence to guide your choices and actions. What comes to light, according to Sarah Maria, bestselling author of Love Your Body, Love Your Life, is the "only secret you will ever need to know: Who you are is not limited in any way." Laid out in what Ernest D. Chu, author of Soul Currency, calls "eminently readable practical steps," each ending with a simple meditative exercise from a "wise good friend," You Are a Spirit encompasses Ghodsi's unique and elegant perspective, gained from years practicing and teaching clairvoyant meditation, and offers, in the words of Howard Falco, author of I AM, "a great resource for those serious about engaging in a new and harmonious way to experience life." You Are a Spirit is filled with gentle, respectful, and yet powerfully transformative guidance that is appropriate for everyone on a spiritual path seeking insights.

Readers who love the books of Denise Linn, Karen Kingston, Nancy SantoPietro, Xorin Balbes, and Tsh Oxenreider will find this book a great companion of equal value. The Alchemy of Intention (From the Introduction) Where intention goes, energy flows. Because of how energy functions, we are each engaged in co-creation with the life force. If you want your life to be sacred, you need to set the intention for it to be so. Setting an intention is like speaking to the Divine through a megaphone: It gets the message across more clearly. This is the true secret behind creating a home sanctuary. Altars and shrines are incredible spiritual tools because they anchor our feelings and thoughts so we become very clear and specific about what we want. Ultimately, whatever we focus on appears in the material world. Creating a sacred space in your home is an opportunity to connect your intimate environment with the realm of the Divine so that your soul is supported and nourished and has freedom to express and flourish.
