Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Arika:
We are aware of your contributions to the ecosystem; talk us through your background and your journey, please;
Originally, I am a Marketer by profession. I handled Social Media, Influencer Marketing and Operations for various companies. I was always a Multi-tasker, a jack of all trades, Master of None. But I finally found myself to be a Master Manifestor, a Spiritual Healer, Numerologist and Ace Tarot Card Reader.
I was always very intuitive. I trust my intuition more than my brains, there I said it.
I feel your mind can play games on you but your Intuition can never fail you. I never in my wildest dream thought I am going to be a healer.”
I always helped and counseled my friends with their problems. Never really thought it was going to be a real job one day.
I always looked at it like an act of kindness. Destiny had different plans for me and soon after learning Astrology and Tarot.
I realized that I am destined to guide, heal and coach others. Be a mentor and pave the way for others so that they can have a fulfilling life.
How did you discover your passion?
I had 2 major spiritual awakenings in the last 1 and a half years. First, when I lost my mother and second when I lost my father. After losing both of them in a span of 1 & half years (2021- 2022), I distanced myself from the world and started looking for answers.
I did a lot of spiritual learnings, worked on my healing. I learned Tarot, Astrology, Numerology, Candle Magic, Connecting with the Divine & Angels. I went deep into deep science and my learning never stopped. My spiritual quest is still on and I keep learning something or the other. This quest is infinite and this led me to learn tarot and help others.”
I started putting videos on Instagram and Youtube, people started relating with my content and one fine day when I woke up I saw that my videos went viral and my inbox was full with people wanting to get tarot reading.
I could not believe it! I always knew consistency is the key and my hard work of putting videos daily and helping people through general guidance. Indeed! paid off! People find my readings accurate and they find comfort in my voice.
A lot of them told me that my readings have an emotional connection, they could relate with it and find it empowering. That moment I knew, I not only do readings, I empower people through my words and my voice! I was doing something worthwhile in my life and I am not looking back.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives you?
Honestly, the challenges that I have seen in my life would really drive a sane person crazy. I just don’t know where I get so much strength from but I feel there is a higher power always taking care of me.
I have gone through the worst things in my life and came out strong and I advise others to never break. What doesn’t break you…only makes you stronger! This is my Motto! I am like a Phoenix. I will always rise from the ashes.”
Everything is an experience which just helps you somehow in the future. My challenges helped me grow and become a better person. I became a Healer so that I can teach others that there is absolutely nothing in this world that can stop you.
Every challenge is your chance to grow, to heal and to become wiser and if I can do it…you can too!”
When I have people telling me that my readings helped them or motivated them, I felt accomplished. I feel my work is done, I am spreading positivity, hope and Hope is the rope of Life. Faith in Divine can really move mountains.
Who do you believe has been the biggest source of motivation in your daily life?
It’s my family, a few friends that always makes me happy and a lot of books and content that I feed myself. Knowledge is true power! The more you learn the better person you become.
I have read a plethora of books and content on Law of attraction, Manifestation. The Secret, Neville Goddard books and of course The Bhagavad Gita is my go-to and highly recommend to anyone who is into spirituality.
I feel you create your own destiny with your own thoughts and deeds. You can change the feeling and change your life. It doesn’t matter what others think of you. What you think of yourself is more important. People will treat you exactly the way you treat yourself.
What are some of the strategies that you believe has helped you grow as a person?
There are a few:
> Trust your Intuition
> Knowledge is Power
> Believe in yourself, You are unlimited!
> Kindness always comes back
> Have enough self-love & self-respect to know when to walk away
> Bad people teach you more than good people.
> Get better, Not bitter
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:
– Consistency
– Know your self-worth
– Be Creative
– Learn & Unlearn
– Always go the extra mile
– Be positive
– Be Genuine
– Never stop learning
– Take time to make your soul happy
– Be patient
What advice would you give to our readers?
First things first, change starts from the Inside and then from the outside. Whatever you wish to manifest, feel it in your bones and in your soul that you can have it. You will achieve it!
Always believe in yourself, things and people will tell you that you don’t fit in. Yes, they are right, you are not supposed to fit in because you are meant to stand out. If you have a dream, protect that dream and accomplish it. Don’t let others tell you, you can’t do something! If you truly believe you want it and you can do it. You will do it.
You are always a work in progress and you know your strengths and weaknesses. So work on them and keep marching forward. Stay positive, Life may not be easy but it’s going to be worth it.
You may have tough days but tough times don’t last. Tough people do! So don’t be a worrier…be a warrior!!! You just need to be patient.. everyone has a different timeline. Your time will come…I promise!!! Stay humble when you get everything you wished to keep your blessings.
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 personal consultations really amps up my energy to deliver more value to them.
Seeing positive changes in their personality and way to approach life motivates me to continue on my journey. This also serves as a reminder from the Universe that I am on the right path and I will continue spreading positivity through my products and services.”
Talking about products, besides @divineempressvibes I am self-employed and make handmade products on my Instagram handle @aromagik_3 like spiritual soaps, bath salts, aura protection spray, manifestation candles & the list goes on. I also have many clients buying energized crystals from me that supports their wishes and helps them to manifest a better life. There are innumerable reviews of my clients who have tried and used my products. I do have a lot of plans for the future, but let’s keep it for some other time!
