Shiuli is always in my heart, mind and soul" said the Mother. Everytime she remembered her, all the memories would flash before her eyes and her whole body would reverbate just by reminiscing the kind of beautiful energy that Shiuli carried around.

As an Indigo kid, Shiuli possessed extraordinary interpersonal skills, empathy and sensitivity. Her emtional maturity was beyond her age.

"I would often think how can a little child possess such extraordinary empathy at this young age" said the mother. Being the mother of a gifted child was extremely overwhelming for her.

The kind of pure energy that Shiuli carried and her ability to lit up the whole atmosphere wherever she went, was truly unique and surprising for her parents and all the other who witnessed her energy.

Because of her ability to understand things deeply, Shiuli always would always be drained emotionally and thus resulting in physical exhaustion.

"Because of her heightened sensitivity and ability to absorb people's energy she would get drained easily and that would result in some sort of chronic pain in her body" said the father with a gleam of tear in his eyes.

Days passed by and Shiuli grew up to be a woman with super sensitivity and compassion. But here's the catch, she was not really aware of her super powers! She always thought her sensitivity was her biggest weakness and it would never help her in anyway. Little did she know that her sensitivity would become her super power someday.

Shiuli's POV

I sat down for meditation and its around 6 in the evening. I close my eyes and try to focus in between the eyebrows. For a 10 year old kid, meditation was little tiring. Somehow I managed to focus and 10 min later, am lost in my own thoughts. My thoughts ran hether tether. And something starnge happened...A sudden flash of light and I open eyes to witness a beautiful maiden standing before me with her exuberant energy. As I just stared at her for a couple of seconds I realized she had no head and only the body appeared. Chills ran down my spine but I wasn't frightened...some sort of secure feeling rose from within and I could see myself enveloped in pure white light. All this happened in a matter few seconds and I could barely compehend what was going on".

Ever since childhood I have had these kinds of episodes where I would witness/feel energies in different forms. But these experiences would always lede me to question myself

"Why am I here"? "Whats the purpose of my life"? " Why do I feel the way I feel"?

...

" Who am I"

.

.

.

As I close my eyes...clock ticking in the background fades away and my mind slowly starts drifting away into a lonely dark jungle.

"My demons are my saviours in a lonely dark jungle" I say to myself.

I find myself standing at the crossroads perplexed as to which path to choose. The darkness has engulfed me and my body is quivering...and that's exactly how Fear works...it gets you completely.

Sweating profusely, I say to myself "This is not the time to give into my weakness, instead this is the time to break my unhealthy patterns and overcome my fear"

Those little eyes in the bushes and wild creatures lurking in the dark and now looking at me.

Amidst of everything I decide to transform my weaknesses into my strength...I decide to kindle my inner light and shine brightly from within.

Thus, by mustering all my courage I choose a path that's required for my growth....

"The path to Enlightenment"

But having chosen this path, am I really going to attain enlightenment?

The wild creatures are getting closer and closer..my mind is racing with thoughts...

.

.

NOOOOOO

"Don't come any closer" I growled at them

That is exactly when I decided to invoke my Higher self....

There's a huge explosion

.....

The next second I open myself and realize that I have been surrounded by pure white light and moving towards the path to enlightenment.

As I turn and look back, all I see is bright white light and the dark jungle is nowhere to be seen.

That's when I realized, my very demons became my saviours...The fear instilled a strong faith in me...An unwavering faith in my Higher Self. Fear made me look within and realize my inner true potential ....

I felt like a huge transformation had taken place within me

...

I woke up with a jerk realizing it was a lucid dream..my body, mind and soul felt light...I was relaxed..

completely relaxed....

The world around me seemed colorful and bright..I finally felt like I have broken my chronic thinking pattern.

But that requires persistent efforts and conscious practice, isn't it?

Hence, I decided to invoke my inner demons again just to know if I have transcended them or they are still there, hidden somewhere in the recesses of my mind...

Was I ready to tap into this layer of my subconscious mind?

.

.

.

Complete silence...again I found myself in a complete dark jungle...will I get myself out of this situation" I thought to myself.
