My determination is rock solid. I have always wanted to go to India. Sure, I have read a lot of books on spirituality, I meditate and pray, and I’m blessed to have the interesting ability to read the Akashic Records and to communicate with spirit guides, but I feel something is amiss. I must find it out in the holy land of the Indian subcontinent, the great land that produced Buddha, Gandhi, Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, Paramahansa Yogananda, to name just a few.

I am convinced this is in the highest good for me and all humanity. So even though the farewell is quite painful, don’t try to change my mind. Two and a half years ago, I followed my intuition to quit my nice corporate job and moved myself across America from Nashville to Portland, Oregon. This move to India is even bigger, but I am confident I have earned enough strength and self-trust to make it happen.

Where in India am I going to? A secret temple near Tibet. The monks and nuns there spend their days meditating, cultivating the earth for their sustenance, and chanting and praying for world peace, while enjoying eternal life. I guess this is a good destination.

However, I am also tempted to just walk around India, sharing the near-starvation life with millions of people there, teaching them how they can create their life with their own innate power.

How am I going to India? By astral projection. It’s the fastest and most cost effective manner of transportation. I hate traveling by air, the crowded airports, uncomfortable airplane seats, and the boring transitions. Astral projection is quick — I just need to figure out how to protect my base point and silver cord safe.

For those of you who wish to visit me there — your kind intention is deeply appreciated. Yes, leave the nasty materialism of the American life and come eat the traditional vegetarian foods, humbly served in earthen ware. Don’t go to the big cities like Bangalore — that would be no different from American cities. People there now work American jobs, you know. Dress like the locals and stick to the lessor-known country side. I will ask my spirit guides to direct you my way, so don’t worry, you will find me.

My best wishes go to all of you. When I complete my Ascension and leave my physical body to transition to my lightbody, I will send you a signal from the sixth dimension. The mountainous area of India near Tibet is ideal for this purpose, too, because — well, isn’t it obvious that it’s closer to heaven?

Love & Light,

Akemi Gaines

This is a joke post for April Fools’ Day ^_^

Haha, no, I’m staying in my beloved city of Eugene, Oregon. Still doing Akashic Record Reading and writing the book on Akashic Records. The gateway to Divinity and all the spiritual secrets are within each of us (who do you think you are, you know?) , and although traveling may be fun, I don’t intend to move to India.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Did you do some innocent nonsense today? Sense of humor is good for you. Now I’m going around the blogosphere to see if any other bloggers made joke posts

Gratitude for my earthly life

Living in this physical world is fun in many ways. Some people see life as school, and that is true, but I also think it’s like a big amusement park. You can be scared and sick with some rides in the park, or you can have lots of fun by choosing the rides. And sometimes getting sick on the crazy ride is exactly what you want. It’s all up to you.

Spring means gardening. However, I am not into the kind of serious, heavy gardening that involves tiling, pushing the wheelbarrow, and weeding. I’m just not built for that kind of manual labor, plus I only have a deck right now, no garden. So I like growing herbs and some vegetables in containers.

This month, I started my first batch of microgreens. Microgreens are bigger than sprouts, so they need soil and sun, but they are harvested early before they grow to full size, so they need only a tiny bit of soil and time investment.

Look what I am getting! These are cold-tolerant plants. The light greens on the left are winter salad mix (lettuce, arugula, corn salad, radicchio, endive, parsley, and chervil). The smaller dark greens are kale that I planted a week later.

Okay, so I need to practice putting the seeds more evenly, but you get the idea. If you have some sunny spot, you can do this — truly FRESH live greens for your salad! Full sun is ideal, but another good thing about growing microgreens is you can do it even with less sun. It will take longer to grow, but because you are not after fruits or tubers, your plants don’t need tons of sun for photosynthesis.

I’m so happy and grateful for the sun, the water, the earth, and all things green.

I highly recommend this. It’s so much fun to watch the cute little greens come out of soil. If you have small children, they would love it, too — a sure way to get them eat their salad

Gratitude for my friends

Evita Ochel made a great fun bucket list of meeting blogger buddies. I agree, we bloggers spend so much time communicating with other bloggers and commenters that they feel just as close to, or sometimes even closer than, our offline, in-person friends. How wonderful it would be to meet up with them!

So here is my version of blogger meet up dream plan. Perhaps when I write 500 posts and become really famous, I get to do this Less than 300 posts to go — it’s good to have something to look forward to:

First let’s pay respectful visit to Barbara Swafford, who inspired Evita to write her bucket list and who lives in the same state of Oregon — hey, it’s only a few hours drive! Let’s see if she wants to join this world tour.

Then down to California to see Lisa, the Mommy Mystic to do chakra meditation together.

Next I fly to Ohio to see earthmother. I hope she can take me to a hike and show how to forage edible wild plants. I will also drive to Columbus, where I lived for 10 years, to see my old colleagues. I consider Ohio to be my American home town.

Then I will hop to Wisconsin to see Lance. If I remember right, the sweet Kim & Jason are in the same area, too. We will goof off and surprise even the four year olds

From there, I will fly to the East Coast. Let’s see, I can’t miss my long-time friend Hunter Nuttall in D.C. Perhaps he can teach me how to utilize my left hand more and therefore balance my brain. Or we can discuss personality types and starseed groups.

I love reading food blogs. Choosing Raw is one of my favorites. Gena is smart and compassionate. I’d love to have lunch with her at Pure in NYC.

After the bustling of the Big Apple, I head north. Before crossing the border, I will meet Jenny Mannion in upstate New York to see her new healing center. (By the time I get to do this tour, I’m sure it is up and running.)

In Canada, Evita will be waiting for me. We will discuss the science of healthy eating and living.

Hmm, as I check my Google Reader, I notice some of my blogger buddies haven’t been posting for a while. Is Cath Lawson still in England or will she be in Canada?

In Australia, I need to visit Melbourne to see Albert, the revered Urban Monk, and Robin.

Maybe I missed a few of my friends here — forgive me. This is just a starting place of a fun project.

Okay, this is it for today. Many thanks to all the readers, commenters, and blogger friends. I hope you are enjoying the spring. And don’t forget the April Fools Day — one of my favorite day Plan something fun and silly.

I started my blog two years ago. At the time, I just quit my corporate job and was starting my business. I was starting to live fully in an authentic way, saying a big “YES!” to the part of me that I had repressed so long. I wanted to, and still do, help others do the same — to say the big YES to be wholly present in life rather than living in autopilot and hoping something would change someday. So I named my blog “Yes to Me”.

I love this name, but I also feel this blog has grown up out of this name. What would be a good new name?

The main message of this blog is that we are all spiritual beings living in the physical bodies, so everything in life is spiritual. Spirituality is the start and the end, not a special area in life. Yet I see so many people who want to pigeonhole spirituality. I also see many people who want to improve their spirituality but scared with the weird gurus and their teachings.

We need spirituality blog that relates and works in real life! That is what I’ve been writing about really. So, the new name “Real Life Spirituality” is born. (Confetti flying. Cheers ) I hope you like the new name as much as I do.

As of this writing (morning of Feb 24th), I have completed the link redirection from yes-to-me.com to reallifespirituality.com. So all the bookmarks and links you may have or see on other sites stay good. I am trying to figure out how to redirect the feed, which seems difficult — so while you are here, please take 15 seconds to subscribe to this blog at this new address (free, of course) either by RSS Feed or by email. This guarantees you won’t miss future articles on Real Life Spirituality.

My web designer and I are also working to change the header and favicon. They will be updated in a day or so.

Thank you for your readership and I hope to see you again on this new domain.
