I was recently asked by Chantal Beaupré to contribute an article to a free ebook that she wanted to compile with content from 25 leading authors. This "The Secret to Your Light" is the article I submitted for it. You can download the free ebook from It's The Thought That Counts!
“The Secret to Your Light“
Your true light has been with you for all time and you have seen it in glimpses. It is available to you to see more and more of in your life. Many are seeking something which is already here, now.
"The Universe provides an echo of your vibrational offering."
In truth, in a spiritual sense, you are the physical manifestation of your light or ‘spirit’ (or whatever words you use to describe it). This universal spirit which is in everything that you see, and in everything that you don’t see (which is so much more than what you do see), is inherently wellbeing. You are whole and complete. And so, if you are whole and complete, by definition, how can you not already be your ‘light’? (Clue: You are!)
But what happens is we are very used to seeing only what is in the physical world and do not realise our divinity, wholeness, and ‘completeness’. If we only looked at the head of something and not the body, we wouldn’t get a complete picture, would we? That is the same as looking at your physical body and not realising the much larger spiritual aspect of yourself that is so much more, and whole and complete.
You already are all that you want to be, other than when you deny and block yourself of it through your thoughts and beliefs (of which self esteem and self value can play a part). Even if the physical manifestations are not here yet, you can be the essence and embodiment of it. Then the physical manifestations and creations in your life are expressions of your wholeness, rather than from a place of incompleteness and an effort to make up for any perceived lack.
Whatever you think, you magnify. If you believe you are striving for something (such as to feel a certain way or have something), you will be striving for something. If instead you realise that everything is here, even if not fully in form yet, and you radiate THAT vibration, the Universe gives you the physical confirmation of it.
"Who you truly are on a deeper level is literally beyond words. All the words in the world couldn’t go close to defining you. The most beautiful sights and experiences on this planet pale in comparison to you."
What you want is not something you strive towards, it is something you accept and allow and be in your now. If it is a physical manifestation you are looking for, you become the emotional and vibrational embodiment of it in your now. It is about what you see and believe of your reality, rather than waiting for a reality for you to see it. It is here and now. And as you allow it, you see the manifestations of this vibrational offering in what happens around you.
What are you striving for? What has to be, so that you can feel ‘happy’ (or whatever you are seeking in your life) and complete? We are used to seeing things in the media that feel good. But that does not imply that you cannot feel good about where you are right now, regardless of the things portrayed (or advertised) in the media.
For many people, when they feel they need to have something to feel ‘whole’, by implication, it can mean that they are not feeling ‘whole’ right now. And so by focusing on lack and having that in their vibration – they are then not letting in the very thing they are wanting!
In every moment you are giving off a vibration and frequency from your thoughts. You attract experiences, ideas, situations, people, and everything else, which is a match to that frequency.
People talk about relationships and ‘you complete me’. In truth, you are always complete. Although it is a lovely expression to say to the one you love, and of course mean it. What actually happens in love (or anywhere else) is when we are with someone and feeling so divine, they are reminding us of the beautiful aspects of who WE are on a deeper level. They are reflecting that back to us. And that is why we are appreciating them so much! And vice versa!
The lives we live are reflections of us, whatever we may experience. When we are with someone and it feels so good, it is because they are very purely reflecting who we are on a deeper level. The better you feel, the closer you are experiencing alignment with who you are as a spiritual being. And the closer that alignment is, the more ‘fulfilled’ your life will be. The physical manifestations will occur as a reflection of that also.
Your alignment is about your congruency and match of your thoughts and emotions with your desires. If you are wanting something but your thoughts are in contradiction to it, you are, more or less, misaligned to it, and you will feel it emotionally. It is like wanting prosperity and visualizing it but talking daily about your fears about money and it running out and your worries about it. The stronger the misalignment, the more severely you will feel it emotionally. The more aligned you are in your thoughts and beliefs with what you want, the better it feels. Love, joy, happiness and the best emotions are synonymous with you being in your now and aligned to what you want.
Ways to support your alignment:
- Don’t doubt yourself. If you can’t have total faith, step back, let go, and have faith in the bigger scheme of things or in the Universe, or God or whatever it is you believe in. By doubting yourself, you are just stopping your natural flow and putting the brakes on it. If you can’t believe initially, don’t doubt at least. Allow it to flow.
- Start to see yourself with what you want. Practice it in your reality. Make that vibration familiar. Make it so familiar, that you come to know that reality more than the one that has been your reality, even though what you want hasn’t manifested yet, but will happen as a result of you allowing it in.
- Realise that on a deeper level (even on an atomic level), you are connected to everything else. Remove the illusion of separation and realise your inherent connectedness to everything in this Universe. This can be liberating. And by affirming this connection and remembering that you are connected to all that you want, and by your expectation of it, you bring it closer into your reality.
- It is not about giving yourself a hard time. That is just like doubting yourself. Your alignment and your flow are from a place of faith and trust in yourself and in the workings of the Universe, than on doubt, fear or mistrust.
"Your flow is far more important than any situation. From your flow, you have access to all possibilities."

Very well written, and inspiring to read. I can especially relate to the media issue, as I studied it in college. It never promotes contentness, or completeness, but a constant state of wanting and pursuing with no end. Not to say it's all bad, many enjoy emulating the images, styles, and how they change all the time - it can be a fun game, as it was for me at one time, however too much of it can be toxic and there is a pavlov's dog conditioning going on. For me I can enjoy everything I want to enjoy from what I have now - a bigger house would mean more maintainance, a Ferrari I would be afraid to drive for fear it would get a scratch or dent. If you do obtain these things, I don't believe it would come from pursuing them, it would just be a byproduct of me being who I am. And anyways, it was Robert Allan, the bestselling author and coach who was famous for proving, on television, he could take a homeless person and make them a millionaire, who wrote that wealthy people live from the mindset that they already live in the mansion and drive the fancy car before they have it. The same would go for someone who wants to be a movie star - how would anyone be able to convince anyone that they would be a good movie star unless they came across as one before they "officially" were. Also, a study was done at an Ivy League college showing that students who felt entitled to abundanced tended to achieve more of it compared to students raised in families where there they were taught that was wrong. Thanks again for sharing the article, and great photos as well, Hemal.

Hi Hemal,
I'm here now:~)
Love your posts as always. And I like very much in the part "Ways to support your alignment" because it's so practical. I can practise directly it in my daily life.
I ever said that "Every dark tunnel always has ending where the light is waiting there". I've ever been in that dark tunnel before. And I'm so grateful for that experience because it makes me growing and learning. And you Hemal, you are such a bright star who bring more light in my life.
Thank you for that....
Warmest Regards
Love and Light

Hi Hemal,
Sensational insight here.
Being in flow is like acting without trying. Minimal physical effort is required when properly aligned to what you want.
Stepping back has been a blessing for me, for I quickly see where I set up blocks. When I see blocks, when I feel them, I can remove them.
Face, embrace, release and move forward.
Thanks for sharing with us Hemal :)
