About this question. Are you listening to the guidance of your soul and spirit?
Whether you realize it or not, your soul is speaking to you right now and is the one voice that will always feel right to you. Your soul is always seeking to guide you on your journey and your soul speaks to you through your dreams, flashes of insight and most of all through that deep inner voice within. Are you paying attention?
Maria Duval suggests 3 ways that can assist you to live from the inside out:
1 – Meditation. This wonderful practice has become my daily morning ritual. It requires discipline, consistency and patience and it is so worth it! With repetition, you’ll find that you expand your consciousness and become more aware of the guiding voice of your soul.
2 – Spiritual Hypnosis. This is a process where the hypnotist guides you into a deep meditative state of profound relaxation, and through a powerful visualization technique assists you to invite your soul in where you can ask questions and receive guidance.
3 – Subconscious Programming. Now here’s a simple yet powerful method you can begin using today to program your subconscious mind to recognize when your soul is speaking to you.

Get what you want
Maria Duval often hears people often say things like, "It's great to be spiritually aware and peaceful, but I still feel there are things I want to achieve, have and do, how do I do that while still being mindful?”
There’s nothing wrong with wanting more, it’s part of our abundant nature. It’s the thinking attached to the things we achieve, have or do that leads us astray.
Out of this, Maria Duval has decided to give you a formula that is guaranteed to succeed for you when all 3 elements are in alignment with each other!
The Formula is:
You x (Thoughts + Actions) = Results/Outcomes
Or, Y x (T + A) = R
Interpretation:
YOU:
This is the most important part of the equation and involves you being still enough to know exactly what it is that you want. Most people will say they know what they want but in reality there’s so much happening around them that it’s just something that sounds nice, for e.g. I want a new car. You need to be crystal clear on what it is that you truly want.
THOUGHTS
Once you’re clear on what it is you want, you need to be vigilant of what you’re thinking because the old conditioned (unconscious part) of you will probably not be comfortable with change and will look to sabotage efforts. This is where your mindfulness practice comes in handy, notice the objections that come up in you in wanting to change. In you noticing them, they lose their power to influence you.
ACTIONS
Action is the final step, unlike a lot of self-help tools out there that say action is the most important aspect of getting what you want. When the steps above are taken care of, action becomes a natural flow from that. You find that you’re actually motivated to take action because you’re clear about what you want and understand the importance of it. Action is only becomes work when you’re doing something that isn’t in alignment with what you really want. Action becomes a pleasure when it is in alignment with what you want and that’s something that a lot of people don’t experience yet.
Final Note, when the YOU is there, your efforts through your throughts and actions are multiplied dramatically. This is what is missing in personal development models that focus on positive thinking and taking action alone.

Flow of Energy
To give before you receive more in return. Probably this has been mentioned many times in spirituality practice. What does it mean really?
Maria Duval gives this analogy to explain. Just imagine there’s a river of money and you are standing at the bank of the river, what would it take for you to receive some of that money? Simple, you just need to extend your arm and allow the flow of the river to place it in your hand. I know it sounds too simple. The gist is the the act of extending yourself in some way so that the pathway in to you is clear to receive.
Life is indeed a river of abundance that is only too willing to give you whatever you want, so why does it seem so difficult at times?
Maria says in the river of money, what most people could be doing is to walk through the river with their arms crossed over their chest and then “hope” that some cash will find its way in! A little may get lodged in the folds of their arms but it’s not really the easiest way to receive.
As all things are made up of vibrating energies, it is really an alignment to a vibrational frequency that opens up the channel so that whatever comes from you also comes into you. This is why it’s said, if you want money, give money, if you want time, give time, if you want love, give love. Whatever you want, give it first and you will align yourself to receiving it.
Life is all about harmony and flows of energy, the rain and sun give nutrients to the plant, the plant in turn grows and provides nutrients to other organisms, and so on.
We are spiritual beings and we should be more connected with the natural flows of energy through positivity and harmony.

Show gratitude at all times
According to Hindu belief, gratitude is one of the most important aspects to be a upright man. Ingratitude is inexcusable and unforgiven.
Just wondering what exactly means by gratitude?
Maria Duval explains in the simplest form, by expressing 'thank you' at times enough signifies our gratitude. At times we are helped so much by someone that mere words of thanks can never repay the help. This kind of help and sharing has to be remembered by us at all the times and we should make every effort to repay that.
Even if we are not able to repay the gratitude in full, our very feeling of being obliged keeps our heart pure and makes our helper feel good.
Gratitude is also immeasurable, unable to get written down in terms of numbers or money. But we can at least be ready and apply all our might to return the help in all possible ways.
For example, expressing your gratitude to your parents who take care of you unselfishly till you are grown up. We can at least try and see that our parents should never feel helpless and alone in her old age.
Similarly, reneging on the kind assistance of a buddy when you are in hard times by committing a grave act on him in return is unforgivable.
One should never commit any sin, and one should never even dream of committing the sin of ingratitude.

Improving Charisma
Why are do some people seem to draw all attention without effort, while others will always be a wall flower?
Maria Duval has some good suggestions to build up your charisma:
Show yourself.
Be positive towards others who could have good intentions towards you. In this way, you can take down the invisible veil and radiating this feeling. Yes, people around you can feel it as we energy mass ourselves.
Show interest
Show interest in other people and don't fake it. Ask yourself to listen wholeheartedly. Ask questions that interest the other party and invite them to talk about their experience. Everybody loves to talk about themselves.
Open yourself.
Approach others openly. Keep eye contact during a conversation. Do not avoid eye contact, and watch your body language. Crossing your arms or legs does not invite for conversation. Stand or sit casually and use a lively way of speaking.
Remember people's names
When being introduced to a dozen new people on a party, no one expects you to remember all the names. But people do really like it if you remember and use their names. So listen carefully when being introduced and repeat someone's name or ask if you have heard it correctly.

Weeding your Subconscious
If you really want to heal, you have to know the truth. Maria Duval says the truth is, that you have to know what caused whatever your issue is. The only way to change the outcome is to change the cause. If you remove the cause, you remove the effect. Right?
Except pretty much all of us have been lied to because most people just don't understand how the world - and the universe - really works. We've been taught that things "just happen" to us. You know the old saying: "stuff happens."
But here's the truth that will set you free: if you're experiencing it, you created it.
Which sounds a lot like blaming the victim, only it isn't. Because there are no victims. Maria says we all vibrate at a certain frequency, much like a radio sending out a signal. Those things in the universe that are tuned to our signal hone in and are drawn to us. Whether it's health or disease, wealth or poverty, great relationships or abusive ones, it's just the law of attraction.
The fair thing is that the Universe has just been matching our signal we give out with our life experiences. So when Maria Duval says you created whatever challenges you're experiencing now, maybe not deliberately or consciously created them. It is your Subconscious.
Yes, you have a chance to unwind these layers of mud in your Subconscious so that you can release your maximum potentials in life.
Of course, the question is: how do you do that, if all this stuff, all these causes of the effects you don't want are buried deep in your subconscious?
That's why I seek our Maria Duval for her valuable guidance in this area. She's the expert!

Control Your Thoughts
Even if you don't buy into the law of attraction, the concept still applies as much as anyone else as to you who are all living in this planet.
Maria Duval says the reason why law of attraction applies to all, whether to believers or disbelievers, is that it is a sure part of the universal laws.
We cannot limit how we think everyday, but we are able to be aware of our constant and recurring thought process, and this can be done simply by concentrating just a few minutes a day about our thoughts process and our inner feelings.
Maria says people attract bad things into lives unknowingly, even if nobody wants bad things to happen at all. The culprit is the subconscious mind that works within the law of attraction. What you consciously do not want has very little to do with it.
Maria Duval advises to spend about 10-15 minutes a day sitting or laying down in a quiet room, and start paying attention to what thoughts are crossing your mind. Meditation in another words.
After a few days practicing just as a watcher of your thoughts, try to replace any thought that you see as negative, by something you would like to have or would like to be.
Now you may have a total control of your thought which can allow you to literally transform your life.
