Weekly Reflection
This afternoon I will be attending a Ganesh Puja, a ritual in honor of Ganesha the Lord of Obstacles. It is sometimes thought that Ganesha removes all obstacles, but in fact he does that when it is for the Highest Good of the person, but he also places them in our path if we attempt to go in a direction that isn’t in our Highest Good. So when we pray “Jai Jai Ganapati” (honor and praise to Ganesha), we are actually asking that Divine Aspect to help us on our way in the best way, which may or may not be the way that we think is best for us. Usually we want to go that way because we have some preference or desire. If we bring our intentions and desires to our High Self, and ask for true guidance, then this Lord of Obstacles and our own intentions will be in harmony. So may it be for all of us!

Dreaming is one of the ways we receive guidance and blessings from the Divine. All you have to do is send me an email to azima@zianet.com and tell me which workshop you will attend. Open the door!

One-To-One Dream Consultations
For a consultation via Zoom on your computer or phone, or in person in the Silver City area, begin by making an appointment at azima@zianet.com and receiving guidelines to prepare for your session, which will last 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Tell Azima your dream (or dreams) and respond to clarifying questions if needed, and she will share what she sees, feels and learns from her version of the dream, but she will never tell you what your dream means for you — that will become clear in the session.
You can have as many sessions as you wish, in exchange for dana (donation), in accordance with the amount of time given and your financial situation.
Inquire about the special in-person executive dream consultation package.

Sufism & . . .
I offer a one-hour class every Wednesday (5pm Pacific, 6pm Mountain, 7pm Central, 8pm Eastern time zones) exploring the connections and similarities between universal Sufism and some topic of interest. Some of the topics i've covered since the class began are Astrology, the Edgar Cayce readings, Love Human & Divine, and Light.
This is a small class, and always includes an engaging discussion among the participants. If you would like to receive a link each week for the next class, including what the topic will be, send an email to azima@zianet.com with the subject Sufism &, and I'll add you to that list.
