Our Greatest Disease is Our Separation From God
Greetings Friends,
September Blessings to you all,
How are you all doing? September normally feels like New Beginnings ...But for me somehow it feels a little different, a deepening into an unexplainable place... It’s already starting to get dark early, and before we know it Christmas will be here….
We have loads of inspiration for you and what's New in September... Thank you again for taking the time to read our Newsletter… This is our journey together…
Blessings & Love

My Thoughts in August & September
Firstly I wanted to share with you all a photo I captured before I went into one of my meditations... I think it is really amazing... In the moment it was like I was being given a snapshot of a spiritual scan picture with a baby in it. What do you make of it? I would love to hear...I have loads of experiences like this.
Sometimes I don't come online just because of it.
Tyreece's Birthday
During Meditation on Tyreece's birthday, I received a spiritual name for him, which was very powerful...
I was scrolling on Facebook and I came across a fun post which described what kind of Healer you are according to your Sun Sign... Tyrece my eldest Son is a Virgo, Asaru-Hotep is a Gemini and I am an Aquarius...I was actually shocked by the accuracy of these readings... As I have connections to both of my son's paths as a healer...
Do we as mothers/parents walk the path so that we can show our children their soul's true way???

Reading these readings has reflected to me how far I have come on the spiritual path.
For fun, if you would like me to send you yours send me an email with your Sun Sign to sushumnachapel@gmail.com.
Our Greatest Disease is Our Separation From God
Swami Kriyananda the founder of Ananda Sangha Worldwide had his 75th Discipleship on the 12th September... I have always been drawn to a being Disciple, especially to Paramhansa Yogananda... I found it fascinating to hear Swami Kriyananda's Discipleship Stories and how he touched many people's lives with his Guru's teaching...
Also on Tuesday 12th September was the anniversary of My Uncle Malcolm's Death... I don't normally remember his death... But remembering this, I felt Swami Kriyananda's guiding and reassuring presence.
Swami Kriyananda said that Our Greatest Disease is our Separation from God. This month I have been umming and arring do I believe in God… whether I believe in god or not I have seen God work miracles in people's lives even in my own… How can I not want to believe in God? But how powerful is our ego in creating that belief?
I remember these words from when I used to study the Egyptian mysteries. "Mind your Mind for the Jewels of your Soul". How true is this message, our mind is a powerful tool of God's creation. We have to take care of it and apply it with the right tools and wisdom. Paramhansa Yogananda says we have to develop a God mind. What does developing a God mind mean to you?
This month I have been thinking about spirituality, healing and mental health… This month’s Podcast by Nayaswami Devi is called “Is It Possible to Stop Worrying?” Paramahansa Yogananda said that
Worry thoughts are a habit. They act like a poisonous drug on the mind. Learn to remove the causes of your worries without permitting them to worry you. Where the worries and trials of everyday life are concerned, the mind must be like water, which does not retain any impression of the waves that play on its surface.
Nayawami Devi shares further with us in her podcast Paramhansa Yogananda practical advice on what to do when worries affect our health…please see the link below.
I have been suffering with anxiety for a long time now. Which stems from fear and worry… From the perspective of worry, I can see how separation is a disease because when we worry about things that are out of our control, or when things don’t go the way we want. We can say it creates a disease or an illness for ourselves which disconnects us from our source God.
But these feelings of worry and fear are very real and it is something that we shouldn’t give ourselves a hard time about. But treat ourselves with self-care and surround ourselves with the right people.
When I worry the one thing that brings me back to the presence of God, is healing… Healing for me is my best friend it dissolves everything and makes my worries go away. Just being in the instant connection of the presence of Divine Mother’s healing presence when I pray for others brings me back to her peace and calmness… And there is know more worry until I forget again…
What's New for Setempber
Following on from the thread of worrying… I have created a once a month group called
The Seers and Hearers (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Mental Health Group)
The love of God uplifts and enlarges us. I can never think of myself anymore as exclusively in this body; I feel that I am present in all bodies. I have no awareness of race or other distinctions at all. In my perceptions, just as I feel my own consciousness in every part of my physical form, I feel you all to be a part of me. Everything that is living I feel within this body. I know the sensations of all. It is not imagination; it is Self-realization. This consciousness is far beyond telepathy. It is awareness of the perceptions of every being. That is the meaning of Christ Consciousness.
~ Paramhansa Yogannada
The group is designed to help people balance their mental health using Paramhansa Yogananda Techniques. The Seers and Hearers is inspired by an online course I did with Ananda Online called “Healing With Divine Energy”. Some of you may know that I have practised healing in many forms, such as a Reiki Master, Shamanic Healing, Energy Healing, Sound Healing and Spiritual Healing… For the past three years, I have had an interest in the healing techniques by Paramhansa Yogananda and Ananda as I have been feeling the benefits in certain areas of my life.
(I am doing a pilot study Online Healing Course for six weeks on Thursday 28th September if anyone is interested, my aim is to launch the course next year... Contact me if you are interested at sushumnsachapel@gmail.com for more information).
When Paramahansa Yogananda became aware that there was racial separation when he came to America, he created an Afro-American Center/Association for his black brothers and sisters…
Where he shared with them all his teachings…
Let's be honest, how many times have we been in the parade of our thoughts and worries and have struggled to find a way out? Our systems are operated differently and our thoughts and emotions are powerful. We have to relearn how to take proper care of our minds, just like we do with our bodies. We are doing harm to our souls and spirit and making them weaker, if we don’t look after our minds and our body properly. The teachings that I will share with you from Paramhansa Yogananda will help us to do that.
The group is free and will run online once a month, to begin with…The first group will start on Wednesday 27th September at 5 pm - 6 pm... The link for more information, to register and to join is below…
White ethnicities are welcome as well if you feel called.
World Healing & Healing Prayers
There have been some changes to our Healing Prayers... Prayers for the World, Planet and Individuals will now be on a Friday Morning's. Healing With Astrology, Mantras & the Chakras Satsang will now be every Wednesday...
See the Weekly Offerings below for more details.
Last week I came across a news sighting that a prisoner Daniel Khalife had escaped from prison in London... It really caught my attention, and I found myself praying for him and all that was involved... On Saturday Morning when I read that Daniel had been caught by the police, I saw that Morocco had experienced a devastating Earthquake... I couldn't believe what I was seeing... And started to pray for them... Morocco has a special place in my heart as I took Tyreece there when I was 6 months pregnant with Asaru for my birthday, it is a very special place... Here is a picture of me and Tyreece.
Saturday Night after intuitively choosing the podcast by Nayaswami Devi "Is it Possible to Stop Worrying?"
I had a Dream about Nayaswami Devi and she asked me to follow her, she guided me to the beach where there were loads of apartments and people... I remember seeing how close we were to the ocean and me singing Paramhansa Yogananda's Song " I am the Bubble Make me the Sea". During that moment I felt I was so close to Divine Mother it was unexplainable ...
As soon as Nayaswami Devi was about to share with us the ocean swept us all out of nowhere... It felt so real, that there was nothing tangible to hold or grab onto... I couldn't locate anyone. I just surrendered and allowed the ocean to pull me in by her force... During the dream I never felt wet, it was like I was watching it happening to me, I wasn't afraid either... Then the ocean brought me back to shore... I saw someone in a car... but I couldn't grab onto it... Then I let go and went with the current flow... And I thought there is know way out of this, I am going to die, but I wasn't drowning, I wasn't gasping for breath, but I was going deeper into the ocean. I felt so far away and that began to feel real ... Then all of a sudden I was lifted up by the ocean so high and was placed safely back on to dry land ... As the waves of the ocean had settled down...
I woke up in shock not really knowing what had happened but it felt like a baptism, where I had been purified by things of my past... Even through the trials of the currents and the waves, Divine Mother protected me and kept me safe... I feel so grateful.
A few days later I was also shocked to find out that Libya had experienced severe floods resulting in thousands of deaths…
There is so much more I can explore in this dream and that is another reason why I think The Seers and Hearers Group is so important. Where we can share these things in confidence and with like minded people who understand... And we can learn to thank God and give it back to God.
Morning and Night Meditations are Back
Meditations are back up and running Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Mornings and Nights…. For the Sunday Night Meditations, I have decided to do something different… As I don’t live near an Ananda community or centre I have been going to a Catholic Church, to benefit from the social aspect of being around like minded people… Where I have been silently praying to the saints, Divine Mother, reflecting, feeling peaceful and appreciating being in a holy temple…
Attending the Catholic Church I often wonder if I should be there. As I haven’t received the sacrament and don’t have any background in being a catholic. More especially because it’s very different from what I do in Sushumna Chapel and Reclaiming Your Virginity. But I have been able to see the oneness, the Father is very welcoming and encourages me to continue coming. The Father invited us to the funeral of Canon Denis Clinch, I haven't been to a funeral since my Auntie died in 2019… The church was filled with so many people of different cultural backgrounds I found myself sitting in the middle of two black elderly women… While I was sitting next to them for a slight moment I was thinking about my nana holding rosary beads and praying the Hail Mary Prayer… I have never seen so many Priests, Fathers etc. under one building before…It was such a beautiful send off for him, so different from the funerals I have attended in the past.
I felt really honoured to be there and glad that I attended…
In aid of my call to the Catholic Church, I thought I would dedicate Sunday Night Meditations to learn how to pray the Hail Mary Prayer. To help me to develop an understanding and to deepen my relationship to Jesus, Mother Mary and the Saints. I randomly found a song by Swami Kriyanana called Hail Mary who is the founder of Ananda as well… which I found interesting. I am not particularly sure what God is doing in my life, but I am sure it will all unfold.
See the Weekly Offerings below for more details.

Ananda Spiritual Counselling
I am still advertising for counselling for a donation if you know anyone in need of online counselling.
Here is a testimony:
“I felt I could trust you and that we shared our guru's presence. You took everything at an ideal speed of prayer and brief meditation to link our spirits. You let me be heard, and then let me know I'm loved by many people.
You followed up with inspirational ideas to move forward with, which at some stage I will revisit. It was a blessing to have your help when I needed it, with a like-minded soul. You are a bright light for our Master’s.”
