Fascinated by Manisha Gawande’s account of her transcendental experience with Cheryl Dabhi, Life Positive (Navni Chawla) decides to interview Cheryl and ferret out more information about her life, times, and spiritual philosophy
After the article, Face-to-Face with God, on Cheryl Dabhi in the November issue of Life Positive was published, the official inbox of LP was flooded with enquiries from curious readers inquiring about her. Inspired, we decided to interview Cheryl once more (She was first covered in 2015 by Editor Shivi Verma) to give our readers a closer glimpse of the phenomenon called Cheryl Dabhi.
I contacted Cheryl on the phone, and she was more than happy to share about herself with the readers. We met online.
Looking into her shiny eyes and being in the presence of her beaming aura, I could not wait and dived straight into a
conversation with her.
When one’s consciousness is rising, one prioritises themself without feeling guilty. Their self-love grows so much that even the anxiety of treading into the unknown disappears.
Navni: What are the signs one could observe within when their consciousness starts rising?
Cheryl: The first and foremost sign is that people start becoming very comfortable within themselves. They feel deeply connected with their inner Self. Another sign is that people become less reactive to disturbances, and even the overthinking of the mind stops. Also, they start to lose some compulsive, unhealthy habits. They start to feel happy within and without the need for any external stimuli; there is less dependence on the outside. Some people also shift from being people-pleasers to becoming independent of other people’s opinions. Another sign is that people start getting a lot of clarity to make their own decisions.

Navni: What is the antidote to overthinking? Cheryl: One needs to go to the root of overthinking. But what immediately breaks overthinking is anchoring yourself within your deep, quiet, and secure space. Simply saying words like ‘I don’t care’ can make you feel powerful over the situation or the person you are overthinking about. But this requires a
very strong and sturdy sense of self or identity. It comes with constant practice. Especially when one goes through chakra activation, their aura starts changing. It starts flowering.
Navni: Our desires make us manifest. But when we do not see the expected things in our reality, we feel disappointed, frustrated, and even sad, and push the thing we desire even further away. How can one escape this vicious cycle?
Cheryl: The secret here is to become happy and whole from within first before associating it with a desire. Firstly, this thought makes you independent, and secondly, your whole focus shifts from all other things and people in the outside world to yourself. I have observed in my workshops that people start experiencing feelings of love more often. They also feel that their anger is diminishing and other negative feelings are fading away. So, the more they are in the frequency of feeling good, the easier it is to manifest. In my workshop on Mastering Manifestation, I take my participants to a place from where they can manifest anything they want with ease and joy.
Navni: Why do we need a workshop like Mastering Manifestation?
Cheryl: Many times, we go through life asking questions that we never find answers to. When we intently learn the process of learning to

manifest, we go through a self-transformation journey. And during that travel, we discover some simple yet powerful truths. Some deep understandings of life and the mysterious ways in which the Universe works are also revealed to us. This truth and understanding frees us of our pain.
Navni: How can manifestation become easy for someone who has a lot of self-doubt? Cheryl: I strongly recommend my Chakra Activation workshop, which removes all the self esteem and self-worth issues very quickly from one’s being. In my Mastering Manifestation workshop, I give my participants the concept of ‘spiritual currency,’ which overrides all the self-doubts that one feels. Spiritual currency is the account of our good deeds, or punyas, in this lifetime and the past ones. At different stages of the workshop, I have seen people experiencing different changes within themselves, especially becoming fearless at some point.
Navni: What is ‘God’s love’ for you? I have been hearing about it. Can you describe it to our readers?
Cheryl: It is hard to define it, as to define is to limit. And God’s love is limitless. God created the Creation, and then the Creation started creating itself. God released potent seeds of life and the universe, and then they started manifesting themselves as stars, moons, planets, and galaxies. And then, when humans were created, they started desiring and creating more things. I believe that Creation creates itself. And allowing this Creation to create itself is God’s love. Because it takes a lot of love to accept situations that you don’t like right now and live with non-resistance, which is the ultimate truth to manifesting. God’s love is
so unconditional that our limited humanness cannot even comprehend it. God’s love is absolutely infinite and infinitely absolute.
Navni: How can one get a glimpse of this God’s love?
Cheryl: I have been gifted with the capacity to take people into a state of trance. Most idols of Indian gods and goddesses or even the statue of Buddha and Mahavir have a flower symbol where the heart is situated. Similarly, as human beings, we also carry the seed of God in our sacred heart, or Antar, as I call it. This Antar is that space that holds God’s energy in us. In many scriptures, it is referred to as the temple of God. It is a spiritual energy portal and not a physical one that connects us to the higher realm. So, when I take people into a trance, they taste Godliness within in a few minutes.
Cheryl did a 10-minute exercise with me. She made me tap and pinch certain points on my arm and neck. Once my awareness was established on my Antar, she asked me to experience what she calls the divine darkness. And as I reached the divine darkness, she repeated a few instructions along with the chant ‘God’s love.’ I could feel the calm wash over me. I felt like I had rested deeply for several hours in those ten minutes. Once I opened my eyes, even the colour of my face changed; it started glowing.
Post this trance meditation, we continued our conversation.Cheryl also revealed a secret to me. She said that when she takes her participants into a trance, she takes them to a spiritual realm. It is the space we go to after we die. She also said that in that space, one can meet their favourite gods, goddesses, and favourite spiritual parents, ancestors, etc. This incredible revelation by her stirred my mind and triggered another question.
Navni: What led you to this point where you can connect with higher realms so easily? What is the essence of your journey? Cheryl: Since my childhood, I have been conversing with God. I also feel I have the gift of listening to him. I was very naturally pulled to Jesus Christ’s consciousness, and I call Jesus my spiritual parent. I also connect with Maa Amba, being a Gujarati. I can experience their presence in my life so strongly and even converse with them. I always had a deep urge to serve and help people. I desperately wanted to learn to heal. I internally had some knowledge of healing people. I started with learning Reiki healing and Pranic healing. I remember an incident, where a lady came to me with an

issue, seeking my help, and I had no solution for it. I sought out God so that I could somehow help her. And a prayer downloaded in my heart about spiritual accountancy. I was in a state of trance and could not physically write it down at that time. So I asked a friend to pen it down. I also got an insight that I must add two lines about ancestors in the prayer. Today, I call it God’s love prayer, and it is an integral part of my courses.
I also received a technique to help others along with the prayer. I started chanting this prayer very often. I would also slip into a trance while doing it. After some time, I got a deep spiritual inner calling to attain moksha (liberation) while still living on earth. I said these words aloud, and I could feel the fire in my belly and, in fact, in every part of me. I

precisely remember that after that moment of extreme anger, there was a shift. That shift was a breakthrough for me. I knew my awareness
had transcended the physical plane. Here was
my time of enlightenment, and I did not even
realise it at that time. I would not have even
remembered the word ‘enlightenment’ until
someone who heard my story said it. And that’s
when I realised I was looking for that word.
But today, when I look back, I can connect the
dots. I also learned from God that everything
is true from a spiritual wide angle. I have a
faint memory of four blurry months as I was
going through a deep transformation which
was coupled with memory loss. My tongue had
forgotten to speak. I could see and recognise
things but could not recall their names. I lost
all my vocabulary. One day, I woke up and
saw Jesus. Guilt crept into my heart that on
the one hand I was experiencing God and on
the other, I had forgotten about Jesus, my best
friend. It jolted me. After I was pacified by his

quietness, I heard him tell me “You have fulfilled my life’s purpose.” I was in tears, and the whole reality of Jesus came into my perspective. My real aha moment was realising that Jesus was there with me all this while, helping me connect with the ultimate truth or God.
Navni: Does God have a language in which you hear him speak?
Cheryl: God doesn’t have a language as such but his voice is like a ‘knowing.’ It is a clear and precise knowing. Another thing is that when you have a divine knowing, no information is misunderstood or misinterpreted.
Navni: What is the crux of your workshops? Cheryl: I want to teach all my participants to increase their spiritual currency and earn punyas in a jiffy. I want to make people realise that they have access to all the abundance in this world. I want them to know through my workshops that life could be so easy when you don’t focus on other people. I work on emotions like insecurity, anger, jealousy, fear, etc. with my participants so that they become light and free of their burdens. I believe in the exponential growth of all my participants. I push them to be better and better.
Navni: How does one have absolute clarity of what they want to manifest?
Cheryl: I urge my participants to fearlessly and shamelessly ask the Universe for everything that they desire. I don’t ask them to pick and choose because they can have it all. I expect them to be so focussed on themselves and happy within, that they don’t go after chasing clarity. Rather, things are put into perspective about what they need and want the most in life automatically.
As we come close to the end of our conversation, I realise that this beautiful lady with curly hair and a big, bright smile is not an ordinary person
and has a higher purpose in life. Cheryl is here on a mission on earth to connect people with God. Someone who knew Cheryl communicated with Sai Baba and gave her his message that she has been blessed and carries divine grace. Sai Baba said that wherever Cheryl will summon him, he will come, and, wherever Cheryl will ask him to stay, he will be present.
“The whole Universe is a divine dance, and when you throw a zing of romance into it, it becomes an activated dance. True spirituality is a celebration of life,” she says lovingly, before signing off.
Note: Enthused by the wisdom shared by Cheryl, Life Positive decided to hold a workshop on Mastering Manifestation in collaboration with her on January 15, 2023.
