This Course in Practical Spirituality is made up of 15 lectures based on real stories of the life of Dr. Ana from a spiritual point of view, published in her books available in Amazon on the topics of metaphysics, spirituality, vibrational healing, energy, emotional intelligence, self-help, personal development, alchemy and strategies for success.1. The Way of SpiritIn this lecture, I speak of the story of Jerome, of the last great Native American warrior stronghold against the American occupation of the land of the Apaches. What really moved me is that this One Man stood firm against a Vast Power because he believed he was a warrior and that there was enough land for everyone to live on it as free men. This is an inspiring story intended to help people reconnect with their own inner power and increase their awareness towards a healthier relationship with the earth.2. Unconditional Love for the SelfIn this lecture, I talk about the basis of a healthy life: that is a healthy love for oneself. It is important to feel compassion and acceptance for yourself and stop judging and criticizing yourself if you want to experience a fulfilling life. When we feel limited to doing things, it is not because life limits us: it is because we limit ourselves. If we believe that something cannot be done, that becomes our truth. I think it was Henry Ford who said: “If you think something can or can’t be done, you’re right”.3. Dreams Vs ExpectationsIn this lecture, I talk about our dreams. Do we have them or not? Or more specifically: Do we dare to have them or not? After many years lost in the uncertainty of whether I should focus on reality and not waste my energy on useless dreams, as I started on the spiritual path I realized that dreams are necessary for us to focus on our greatest potential or truth. But they require us to have faith in ourselves and in the Universe so we must develop the courage to dare to dream and to hold onto our highest potential.4. Meditation and Spiritual GrowthIn this lecture, I talk about the way in which we can easily meditate daily so as to be able to keep a simple practice, one that is easily compatible with our busy lives. This should help us stop our frantic rhythms, which prevent us from being centered, and successfully negotiate our everyday situations calmly. Meditation is the most important tool for self-development and spiritual growth. We believe that meditation requires the mastery of very difficult techniques and that only advanced gurus or shamans can truly do it and that only they can achieve what we call Nirvana. However, meditation is an activity that we all can and should do to help calm the mind and access our inner guidance.5. Negativity or Lack of PerspectiveIn this lecture, I talk about the concept of negativity. Sometimes when we feel stressed and can’t seem to bear the pressure of the demands our modern lives place on us, it seems like we are powerless to avoid falling into what some of us might call a negative mindset. Life is a balance of polarities: good and evil, light and dark, love and hate. they are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. So I believe that it is when we lose this perspective that we actually believe ourselves to be negative.6. The Matrix (Spiritual)In this lecture, I speak of the movie “The Matrix” with spiritual overtones. What is this movie really about? The mind tries to grasp it and, in the end, you have to stop thinking about it or you are in danger of overloading your systems. But think about it: the grid is the physical world, the illusion that what we see is true. When you disconnect from the machines, you are in the spiritual world, the meaning beyond matter and what holds everything together. In general, this is a largely untapped energy system because we don’t know how to connect with it. If you want to know more, keep on reading. you might be surprised.7. Talking About Our StrengthsIn this discussion I speak of a situation that occurs when we develop spiritually and begin to discover new gifts or “strengths” that we did not know we had and never expected to have. The secret is to focus on ourselves to the exclusion of everything else to focus and establish our new foundations - I do not mean to let go of our responsibilities but to start seeing life from the inner Self. The questions I ask you in this story are: Are we prepared to let go of opportunities around the corner just because we know they will require energy and effort? Am I going to continue trying to force my destiny or am I going to let my Ego run my life to keep me in integrity? In other words, will I honor my expansion or will I settle for limitation, shrinking my soul into an increasingly stifling reality?8. Talking About ContactIn this lecture, I talk about the way in which the Universe brings us what we want. But for this, we need to focus our energy in such a way that we can visualize what we want in as much detail as possible. Then, with absolute confidence, let go of our wish as we know that the Universe has alrea
