Shenazz Nadirshah relates how she transitioned from a social butterfly and media person to a life of healing, teaching and deep inner fulfilment
From a social butterfly with a successful career in the media and thousands of names on my contact list, to a healer with just a select few contacts. That is the trajectory I have travelled ever since I transitioned to spirituality, a move that surprised many.
However, I have always been somewhat spiritual even though I never felt the need for participating in rituals and formalities just to please my family and society. My connection with God was from the heart. And then in the year 2000, cosmic energies brought in radical changes in my life. Intuitions and guidance started flowing in, through many subtle forms.
The Ganesha bond
Despite belonging to a strict, ritualistic Zoroastrian family, I acted on my dreams and messages and started keeping the Ganesha idol at home for a day-and-a-half during Chaturthi since 2000. And before long, spiritual events and people, healers and spiritual teachers started coming into my life.
I manifested many a soul lesson from the year 2000 to 2010, including getting a new life after a prolonged illness in 2005-2006. My faith in God never wavered during the worst of crises and with utmost belief I would affirm that, “Even if I am pushed from the hundredth floor, there will be the hand of God on the first floor to hold me, never letting me touch the ground floor.”
The next big soul lessons began to manifest. The unravelling of my marriage, financial instability and several broken friendships all hit me in one fell swoop. The Universe was becoming a stricter teacher. Nevertheless, I saw myself embracing all that was thrown at me with support from friends and family.
Early in 2010, I left my job in a media company with no plan or job in hand – my first big step after I began listening to my inner voice. Not an easy task, since it was a huge financial setback.
During the last few months before leaving the job, I had been noticing my growing gift of receiving messages out of nowhere. I had been introduced to angels and affirmations about 10 months prior to that through a dear friend of mine. About a year later, I frequently received strong messages about that same friend, which I passed on to her. As I saw them unfold, I became inclined to know more and borrowed books from her to read and to train my intuitive mind.
Karmic lessons
The second big step was the closing of my biggest karmic lesson – my marriage. I had so many resentments still bubbling within me that I could not fathom how I was so cool. My inner voice kept repeating, “All is for your and his good. All will be well.” It was as if someone within me was controlling me.

I frequently recalled those lovely lines: “The will of God will never take me, where the grace of God will not protect me.”
Sure enough, it all fell into place. The two of us decided to forge our separate paths. We were suddenly more amicable than before. I moved to a new home and the energies of this house told me, ‘This is your place of growth. The old Shenazz had to leave behind everything’. I saw rays of hope, despite my world crashing around me.
Yet challenges continued to unfold. Several attempts to get a job proved to be futile and whilst meditating, I got the message, “Stop all trying. Release fear and resistance. You will not get a job right now. This is your time to move on to your soul quest. Leave all to us and we will see you through. What you need will be brought to you.”
Though concerns about running a family with an 87-year-old father besieged me, as instructed I left it all to them. Suddenly my messages got much stronger and I picked up my first deck of angel card by Doreen Virtue (considered to be the doyen of angel therapy). I was guided to do readings for myself and friends and I started doing them from then on.
Then one of my biggest psychic messages came through at the end of May when the friend who had guided me to learn about angels told me, “September 2010 is going to be the time of huge change for you.” That very night she got a mail saying that the Charles Virtue (Doreen’s son) workshop on angel therapy scheduled for early 2011 had been rescheduled to September 2010.
Praying for abundance
I longed to do the workshop and I was reinforced in this when another friend intuitively indicated that my path lay in healing and that I had to do this workshop. I prayed for abundance as there was no way I could have afforded that high-end workshop.

told there was a seat for me though earlier that same week, I was informed that the batch was full. After that workshop, there was no looking back. I channelled messages, did readings and was asked to start off professionally and that’s exactly what I did.
As I progressed on my spiritual path, I became aware of one of the biggest hurdles to our spiritual, personal, physical and financial growth – unforgiveness. I was channelled messages to go through a forgiveness process for everyone in my life for whom I felt hurt or resentment, including myself. I was channelled some beautiful meditations and healings including one for forgiveness and I set myself up to do that. Within a short span of time, when I wondered how I would know that I have completed the forgiveness process, I got a message telling me that I would get messages for the people I had forgiven, as forgiveness would open up the blockages between us.
Sure enough, I started getting these messages which I was also instructed to pass on to the respective parties. To release any resistance that would bring my physical mind into play, I started blessing everyone more and more, and in every form, as I was made to realise the reason why we had manifested each other in our lives.
since the last 19 years.Meanwhile, I still did not have a job. One night, I dreamt of being in a classroom full of people, not exactly a school. Within 10 days of this dream, Meghna Ghai Puri (director Subhash Ghai’s wife), who had been a dear friend from my 18 years in the film industry, called me to give an opportunity to teach at Whistling Woods International (WWI), a film institute founded by Subhash Ghai. And so began my journey at WWI institute, along with my Angel readings and healings. Two of my closest friends were instrumental in bringing me my first few clients. I was told through messages that, only when the person’s guidance was due and due from me as a source, would they come to me. Soon enough my practice grew, despite very little effort from me.
As time passed by, I was asked to channel a daily Angels message and affirmation and soon started sending it out on Facebook, Twitter and through phone SMSes. Again through guidance from these angelic messages, I got empanelled on the international healing site, Be Healing, founded by Claire Louise Hay, in March 2011 as one of their readers and healers, with whom clients could book sessions online.
I believe that no matter what our external circumstances are, if we unconditionally trust and believe that all that happens; happens for our ultimate highest good, we will finally achieve and manifest it. We should move away from all resentments, hurts and unforgiveness as these are the acids of life that burn the container that stores them more than they do those they are thrown on. It is the moment we accept that we are ill that healing begins. So acceptance is the first step towards any healing or spiritual progress.
