The Sun, a powerful electromagnetic star is in its most active phase of the 11-year cycle (peaking 2024–2026), - one of the strongest solar maximums in decades.

When the sun becomes active, Earth’s magnetic field shifts, and because the human brain is an electromagnetic organ, we can feel this shift.

The Schumann Resonance, the Earth’s natural frequency matches our Alpha and Theta brainwaves — the states of calm.

When this frequency spikes due to solar changes, it triggers heightened intuition, emotional release, introspection, clarity, and expanded perception which we describe as “awakening symptoms.”

HeartMath research shows that solar storms can influence heart rhythm, blood pressure, brainwaves, melatonin, sleep, mood, and sensitivity.

Solar storms bring powerful waves of light that awaken and rewire human consciousness. At the same time, 3i/ATLAS is currently passing through carrying ancient codes beyond our solar system.

Together, they are accelerating awakening and a shift into higher states of consciousness.

This is why so many feel called towards peace, purpose, unity, connection. Not because the world is getting darker, but because the light is getting stronger.

As October 7 anniversary draws near we are being led to reflect deeply on the spiritual implications of holy lands.  

The Supernova Festival was a psytrance music event held on October 7, 2023, in southern Israel. According to media reports, many of the attendees were under the influence of alcohol and recreational drugs such as LSD, MDMA, and cannabis when Hamas launched its attack.

Israel, revered as holy in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam carries the weight of divine encounters, covenants, and centuries of prayer and pilgrimage.

To hold a rave gathering marked by intoxication, altered states, is a stark contrast to the reverence that holy ground demands. 

The Burning Bush Encounter

The burning bush encounter is one of the clearest spiritual teachings about how human beings should relate to holy ground:

“Do not come closer,” God tells Moses. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (Exodus 3:5)

This moment teaches us that sacred land cannot be approached casually. Across traditions, modesty and purity are intertwined with holiness, while intoxication and indecency create disharmony with divine presence.

A Personal Land Experience

On April 9 2025, we conducted a small ritual asking forgiveness from the land for all the wars and bloodshed it has endured because of us. We had to touch the earth barefoot, and offer water and flowers while saying a short apology.

Before doing this ritual, I was confused as to which land to choose. While browsing some reels, I came across a random reel that mysteriously said, “Do it on a land that has grass.” It was a clear sign that I was supposed to perform this ritual on grass. Usually, I always listen to my intuition, but that day I ignored my intuition.

I performed this ritual on an open barren ground that had no grass. The moment I returned home, I fell ill with severe body ache and cold. I knew my error.

The next day, I returned to a grassy patch and repeated the ritual. Grass carries life, while barren soil is closed. The lesson was unmistakable: when relating to the sacred, one must listen carefully and act in alignment with divine guidance.

Circa 1995: We moved to Virar East—back when it was still a sanctuary of never ending hills and lush greenery.

Our new home was nestled at the base of the Jivdani Hills that houses the temple of Jivdani Mata. For 30 years it was a familiar landmark for me, a quiet and constant presence. 

Last year, I temporarily moved to Virar West, to my sister’s house. And from her balcony, the view of the Jivdani Hills tugged at my heart daily helping me recognize the feeling of HOME.

As I travelled in and around Virar, the hills never left my sight, standing tall - like they were following me. No matter where I went, as long as I could glimpse them on the horizon, I felt HOME.

Gratitude is more than just saying thank you. It is a beautiful feeling that I carry within me right from the moment I open my eyes in the morning until I lay my head to rest at night. “Thank you” is a word that stays on my lips all day long, and escapes at every given opportunity. :)  

Each morning I tell God, “Thank you for opening my eyes today, keeping all my five senses intact, keeping the ground under my feet safe, giving me clean air to breathe…”

We take our health and our fully functional bodies for granted until we realize that what we so easily take for granted somebody is praying for that.

When I put the groceries in my kitchen cabinet, I tell God thank you for a well-stocked kitchen. There are so many who stare at empty kitchen shelves.

I thank God for the first meal as well as the last meal of the day. My thank you litany continues throughout the day.

I thank God daily for Whisper for Peace – one of the greatest gifts to my soul! I look at my website, the reels, the posts, the beauty, I tell God, "This is your doing, not mine." :) I cannot bring forth such sublimity! 

I thank God for the presence of family, friends, unexpected help, material needs taken care of, good music, food, moments, the list is endless…

I feel sad when I see people disgruntled and dissatisfied with what they have. It's hard for me to understand the endless material chase  when what we already are, and what we already have, is so deeply priceless.

How do we forget that waking up in the morning, being able to walk, breathe, think, feel, move, love, and be loved — are HUGE miracles by itself! We are literally walking talking miracles and wonder! :)

The Ho'oponopono prayer is a simple but advanced form of healing based on this principle of co-existence. It helps you to take 100% responsibility at a PERSONAL level for what has manifested at a COLLECTIVE level.

The philosophy behind this practice is that since we are responsible for what shows up in our reality when you “cleanse” your consciousness, you contribute to the cleansing of the “collective consciousness.”

The word ho'oponopono means ho'o ("to make") and pono ("right"). It simply means to make right! It is an ancient Hawaiian practice for forgiveness and reconciliation. 

Dr Joe Vitale, in his blog post, wrote about how a therapist, Dr Len, in Hawaii, cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients without ever seeing any of them.

All he did was say four simple phrases: I love you, I am sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You. He would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.

The philosophy behind this practice is that we are responsible for what shows up in our reality. Wars and conflicts come through actions by leaders. Since we are all connected to each other, when you “cleanse” your consciousness, you contribute to the cleansing of the “collective consciousness.”

The only way to make this world better is by first making ourselves better.

When I switch on the TV, I see news anchors and panelists passionately drumming up sentiments of war without even realizing what a full-fledged war truly entails.

My mother, a survivor of Partition, has witnessed horrors no child should see. As a young girl, traveling with my grandfather on a business trip to Lahore, she has seen trains pulling into stations with piled up dead bodies, just like in the film Gadar.

She often told us stories of war-time blackouts, sirens, fear, normal life suspended, scarcity of food and water, refugee camps.

Spiritually, when we respond to violence with more violence, we risk playing into the hands of terrorists. They want division, chaos, and fear — and war delivers it on a massive scale.

Never Ending Loop

When terror strikes, we search, we strike, we kill — and yet, more terrorists rise. War, at the surface level, appears swift justice, yet the problem of terrorism prevails. Why? Because violence cannot erase erroneous ideology!

Bombs destroy bodies, not beliefs. You cannot end darkness with more darkness. It becomes a karmic loop with each act of violence planting seeds for the next.

The Real War is Within

The true battle is internal. Here's what we can do spiritually:

• They need to be made aware of the heavy negative karma they generate by murdering innocents

• No one escapes karmic consequences. Even if justice is delayed, it is inevitable.

• Rectify erroneous ideologies through wise spiritual voices and public campaigns

• Replace rigid dogma with inner spiritual awareness

• Shift identity from religion-based to soul-based

• Involve reformed former extremists as mentors to prevent others from following the same path

• Invest in peace education from an early age

One year ago, around this time, we launched our peace-inspired creative initiatives. It was the beginning of a whirlwind of exploring creativity and art through peace.

When I started Whisper for Peace, I had no concrete vision—just a deep unmistakable knowing that I had to keep going, keep creating, keep working for peace. We were like clay in the hands of the Divine Potter, shaped by a force greater than us.

This year has been filled with both blessings and trials. On one hand there were moments of immense fulfillment, there were also new lows in key areas of my life. Yet, I had to hold back tears and continue raising the banner of peace.

The assignment was clear - no time to sit and cry. Just carry on with the peace work. And that's what I obediently did while God took care of the rest.

Look at how He has shaped us! Today, Whisper for Peace stands as a platform with a distinct identity and purpose—elevating peace through art, spirituality, culture, and mysticism. 

I am infinitely grateful to our BELOVED CREATOR - The Invisible CEO of Whisper for Peace under whose divine direction and leadership we have become what we are today.

I am also deeply grateful to my spirit guides, angels and all the members of my spirit team who have helped, supported, comforted and guided me all along. Even though I have been working alone, I never truly felt alone. 

A special thanks to my elder brother, Darryl Fernandes, who has been my constant support. 

Thanks to all the artists and people who contributed to Whisper for Peace initiatives. God bless you abundantly. May peace abound in your hearts, minds and homes.

Finally, thanks to all the energies that created the space for Whisper for Peace to be born, grow and flourish!

The way forward is still unknown to me, but am excited to walk this path as long as I know my director is none other than God Himself.

Yesterday, an overzealous religious Instagram user attempted to draw me into a pointless spiritual discussion. It inspired me to share my thoughts gleaning from my own experiences.

My elder brother is neither religious nor spiritual. Yet, he sees me every day saying my morning prayers, meditating, or reading spiritual books. Despite our differing approaches, we live harmoniously as siblings, respecting each other’s choices without imposing or influencing one another, directly or indirectly.

We grant each other the freedom to grow, and seek the truth in our own ways.

Our conversations range from current affairs, jokes, politics, sports, and even spirituality. There are times when the insights he shares resonate with what I’ve read in my spiritual books. He tells me, “Julia, I haven’t read any of these books, but yet I know this.” :)

I tell him, "Soul wisdom is embedded in all of us even if you don’t read spiritual books."

Imagine two travelers heading to Goa: one by flight, the other by train. The one on the flight reaches in 40 minutes, soaring through the clouds, while the train traveler takes 10 hours, witnessing diverse landscapes along the way.

Can we judge whose journey was more right?

The spiritual path is the same. We are all on a journey to our Creator. Some may arrive sooner, others later, but the route and the scenery along the way will differ for each of us.

Who are we to judge?

By all means seek spiritual knowledge and enlightenment, but never look down on others whose paths are different from yours. Spiritual pride is the worst pride. For all you know, the one you are looking down on might reach heaven before you do.

In the first week of November 2024, I woke up with the name "Jalaram" on my lips. Curious, I searched online and discovered that Jalaram was a saint from Gujarat, a devotee of Lord Ram. Coincidentally, it was around the time of Jalaram Jayanti.

Reading about his life and selfless service inspired me to perform charity works in his name. I kept seeing his name everywhere — in my kitchen, on signboards, in public spaces. I later visited his temple in Virar and sought his blessings.

Over the years, I’ve had dreams that transcend religious boundaries. Once I got up with the name Purushottam on my lips. It turned out that it was Purushottam Jayanti that day.

In another dream I saw Lord Ganesha blinking his eyes, sometimes a Naga Sadhu visits me in my dream, in another dream I saw the name of Allah in Arabic etched in the sky during Ramzan. I cannot read or write Arabic, but I knew it was the name of Allah.

A Hindu friend of mine once dreamed of Mother Mary. I also recall the story of Our Lady of Vailankanni in Chennai, who appeared to a poor, lame Hindu boy asking for milk for baby Jesus.

Such experiences reaffirm a timeless and profound truth: God does not belong to any one religion. Religious conversion and disputes over religion are some of the most immature acts one can ever do.

GOD IS LIGHT, and religions or spiritual paths are like different lamp shades. The shade may vary in form and color, but the light remains unchanged.

So, no matter which lamp shade you choose, or switch to - THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS THE SAME.

For the longest time of my life Sunday mass would make me anxious. A jam packed church would often make me feel restless and uneasy. As a result, I always sit at the last bench or outside the church.

I used to think something is wrong with me until much later I realized it’s my sensitivity as an empath. I’d developed a heightened awareness of the energy around me, particularly with large crowds.

It takes a lifetime of living together to truly understand people. Sometimes, even your own folks never know what battles you are silently fighting or have fought. To those who see the light of Whisper for Peace, there’s no telling the amount of darkness one has journeyed through to reach it. The road to heaven often passes through hell!

It’s takes just a moment to judge, but more than a lifetime to understand!

Peace is more than a dove and quote. It is a dynamic choice you literally have to make everyday. Peace is the highest pursuit of your life. It holds immeasurable value 365 days of the year. 

Utopian as it may sound, we are driven by a crazy vision of one day seeing the world enveloped so much in peace, love, beauty, abundance and truth that it blurs the lines between the higher worlds and our world. 

Perhaps not in this lifetime or age, but in some distant future age it will happen. Good will ascend until then darkness is a challenge.

We all know that life is full of ups and downs. But there are times when life really tightens its grip on you. A spiritual awakening or Dark Night of the soul is something many of us experience. It is a phase of extreme soul anguish. It can be compared to the birthing pains of the soul. I went through the same in my life. 

It is said the higher you rise spiritually the harder your tests become.The personal pain was immense; the road was dark and long. It's always been a solo journey for me till now. 

Despite being on a spiritual path from more than a decade, yet the transition to a higher version of me was not easy. When I was in the thick of the awakening phase, I would always come across the Infinity symbol everywhere. 

Contrary to popular perceptions of the meaning of Infinity symbol, for me its energies were daunting and difficult. It was only much later that I learnt that if you observe closely -- the shape of an infinity symbol is closed up. There is no escape. 

You are trapped as you move from one loop to another coming back to the centre repeating the same process.

It implies that you cannot escape the soul lesson that you are going through. That's when I began moving in the direction of peace. 

I was drawn to soft instrumental music. My mornings began (and still do) with hearing soft instrumental music while watching serene and picturesque nature videos on my full screen desktop. I could feel peace permeating every part of my being.

My spiritual meditations were more enhanced and profound under the bright morning sunlight. I still bask in the morning sunshine...:)

I found peace.

When the war between Israel and Hamas began, it affected me a lot. That's when Whisper for Peace was born. The internal awakening and the external conflicts both served as catalysts for me to lead the cause of peace.

I am grateful to the Creator for handpicking me for this beautiful soul mission.

Shalom,
