Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Binita:
Could you please talk us through your background and your journey?
It is an interesting one, I bet. So by profession, I am an interior designer and by passion, I am a diviner, a spiritual coach and a healer.
Even after working in a creative field, I always felt the void inside me. There was always a tug at my heart indicating that I was not doing something meant for me. As if my soul had other plans and I was not adhering to it. No matter where I set my eyes too, my heart always gravitated towards spirituality and healing.
This was only when I came across the Times of India’s weekly column on Tarot predictions in 2006 which intrigued me to such an extent that I wanted to learn it for myself and unravel the mysteries of this divination tool.
From my own journey of so many years, I have come to the conclusion that these modalities choose us rather than the other way around.
This same thing happened to me once I decided to learn, I somehow found my 1st teacher and eventually started my journey in Sept of 2006 itself. I did not want to wait anymore.
The more I learned about this metaphysical world, the more I got interested and learned many modalities like Akashic Records Readings, Lenormand cards, divination through playing cards, Charms Casting, Runes reading, switch words and sacred codes, Dice divination, pendulum dowsing and some more divination techniques.
Last year, I have created my own divination dice set for daily oracle readings.
The journey has been exciting as I get to share my learnings and divine intuitions with others and help them transform their life.
How did you discover your passion?
As far as I remember, I have been always very intuitive. Always used to have visions and detailed dreams. I remember my elders used to restrict me from saying what I felt as they would fear of that coming true.
Metaphysical and occult was always an interesting subject for me. I used to practice I ching, was interested in palmistry and face readings during my study years.”
I pursued them for a while but was not very serious about pursuing them further.
In 2006, something shifted inside me and I knew this was my calling. Even after learning Tarot cards, I was a closet reader for years. Only using it to help the close circle of friends and family.
I also trained to become a certified life skill coach so that I can counsel people better through my readings and healing sessions.
The more I learned different divination tools more the void became deeper and at one point I knew I had to take some action to live an aligned life. A life that was my soul’s path. In 2018, I decided to found The Higher Self Healing. (It was formerly called The Higherself Tarot). I took up my work as a reader and healer full-time. Since then I have helped many in their times of difficulty or in their times of making hard choices.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives you?
I love what I do. For me, the most precious moment is when my client’s share how my guidance has helped them to navigate the challenging situations.”
Or after healing sessions, how they find it easy to maintain calm from the inside in the midst of chaos. Or They have the satisfaction of exploring all the opportunities that were presented to them through the sessions.
The love and respect I get from people whom I have helped is my motivation to stay on this path. I strongly believe that The best part is that I heal when I heal others. And I grow in my spiritual journey when I guide others.
Who do you believe has been the biggest source of motivation in your daily life?
My family! They have been my constant support in all the highs and lows of my day. They all have always believed in my work…they appreciate what I do and support me wholeheartedly in my work.
What are some of the strategies that you believe have helped you grow as a person?
There are a few:
1) Being consistent. Showing up for your commitment no matter how you feel on the inside. Or how bad your day is.
2) Always being resourceful
3) Taking extreme ownership and responsibility for my actions and sessions.
4) Ability to take risks & venture into uncharted territories.
5) Being a good listener. Most of the time people need to be heard and validated.
6) Holding non-judgemental space for my clients. Making them feel safe enough to open their hearts. The love and respect I get from people whom I have helped is my motivation to stay on my path. I strongly believe that the best part of my work is that I heal when I heal others and I grow in my spiritual journey when I guide others.
In your opinion what are the keys to success?
I will say it straight that there are many factors but if you really have to have the key elements then to me these are the ones:
> Accepting and loving your ownself.
> Trusting your inner voice
> Take responsibility of your own action
> Be curious and open to learn new things
> Stay positive
> Taking actions with consistency and belief
What advice would you give to our readers?
Embrace your most authentic self, be true to who you are. Dimming your light because of societal conditioning is not a very happy thing to do.
Incorporate a few spiritual practices in your daily life to stay aligned. There are so many Divination tools available to guide us to navigate the twists and turns of our lives. Make use of them by approaching an authentic and experienced spiritual coach.
Ask for help when needed. Nurture the circle of genuine people who can support you in times of difficulties. There is so much to be shared, but this conversation limits how much I can communicate on this platform.
Entrepreneurs, professionals, housewives and students regularly reach out to me on LinkedIn or Instagram with their specific queries.
Last but not least, what about your journey makes it satisfying/exciting?
Getting great feedback from those who have been inspired through my social media content, through my coaching or healing sessions amps up my energy to deliver more value to them. Seeing shifts in them and in their journey makes it satisfying because I see their success as my success and their breakthroughs as mine.
It is a happy feeling when they make me part of their lives sharing each highs and lows of their lives. The faith they display in my knowledge when they seek guidance through my akashic or tarot readings is an exhilarating feeling.
I feel humbled with their trust and love for me. Their confidence in my guidance makes me keep going ahead in my journey. I feel lucky to be chosen by the divine as a beacon of light for so many. I am filled with immense gratitude to be able to do what I do.
