Let’s learn more about her incredible journey, her background, and her advice for our growing community!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Shikha:
How did you discover your passion?
This is a very interesting question because I get this question a lot. So it all started when I was in STD 7-8 I started having dreams about a lot of things which actually turned out to be true.
I used to see things before they could happen and then this continued for 5-6 years every time some incident or something major was about to happen in the family I started seeing that, and this actually helped me and my family a lot.
Then eventually I started meditating and suddenly one day I learnt reiki and pranic, and started my journey as a healer and reader in 2019 for friends and family and later professionally through Instagram @healingsbyshikha.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives you?
I feel challenges are an important part of our life initially it was very easy to balance between work and tarot, but then eventually when after COVID everything was going very fast and I was working as an intern in a CS firm. With the challenges that I face now.
I am working 12-14 hr a day and I love to work so I’m actually very happy with my work, and the love that I get from my clients sometimes all I need is the love and trust that my clients give me.
So for me, my drive is the love and trust from my clients.
Who do you believe has been the biggest source of motivation in your daily life?
My motivation is the trust and love of my clients. But this was developed over a period of time.
But initially the trust my mother have shown in me and the believe she had in me has been my motivation throughout, when I used to cast spells initially she used to sit with me the whole nightand this actually gave me a lot of motivation of keep going no matter what and with time this love and trust of my mother have increased and converted into loving clients who trust me.
What are some of the strategies that you believe has helped you grow as a person?
There are a few:
> Being calm and patience
> Trying to be a good listener for my clients and understand their problems
> For me, I have grown as a person by meditating
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 & Loving myself.
– Responsibility for my actions
– Being consistent with my work
– Bring true and honest with my work
– Never lie to your clients and never be rude to them, always speak the truth
– For me, honesty is the key
What advice would you give to our readers?
Look at marketing not just as a job function, but a collective domain comprising several other options available try to look at the person who are reaching out to, look at the person there business profile, what they’re trying to tell you are they onlytrying to make money from you and not actually helping you
Nowadays MANIFESTATION work is being used a lot and in the name of manifestation, a lot of people are just trying to fool others with different rituals or remedies.
Always before making a transaction see the person is honest and genuine or not. I had a lot of messages from my clients who tell me that they are being fooled or chested or 20-30k but my question is why do you think such being amount without checking about the person’s suggested piece of advice before paying somebody before going to somebody for help read about them and then approach them
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 sessions/programs 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.
For me, the most satisfying thing is when I teach my students and they come to and share their success stories it makes me feel proud
This gives me the motivation of doing better every day and to help as much as I can.
