Ananda*

What or Who is “Ananda?”

One Sunday morning in November 2010, I “felt” a group of spirit beings approach me during my meditation. They came without fanfare or warning as one entity. Over the next two years, they came faithfully on many Sunday mornings to bring food for thought and guidance for life. Initially, I did not know their names but sensed all were women, which they confirmed. Each revealed her name individually. The materials they gave were for me, my husband, and our close friend. At that time, these discourses were read by just the three of us. But most of their messages are universal. Much of the content is hopeful and helpful for living on earth and preparing for our death/rebirth. (Some parts of discourses specific to each of us and personal are not included.)

I received 70 different messages from November 2010 to December 2012 from

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Hellen Keller, Anne Frank, Louisa Mae Alcott, Mother Mary, Princess Diana, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis

In 2014, 2016, 2020, and 2023, additional messages came from other Ananda voices:

Mother Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Maya Angelou

Some topics addressed include:

• How Do You Measure a Life?

• The Sentient Gardener

• Bean Counting

• The Makeup of Ananda

• Let it Be

• Beginning Anew

• What Do We Do?

• Anonymity

• Physician, Heal Thyself

• For All the Wind Ships

• The Hammer of “Just Is”—Justice

• Ideal or I-deal Family?

Their thoughtful messages are healing and nurturing. They uplift, grant perspective on one’s potential, and bring relative calm to a pre-pandemic worldview of living life with intention. Perhaps their words today are even more necessary and essential to integrate.

*Ananda is a Sanskrit word that means “bliss” or “rapture.”

NOTE: It is my understanding that a woman in Great Britain began channeling a group called “Ananda” some years ago (during the COVID-19 pandemic). It is striking to me that this coincided with their departure from channeling through me. I hope that no matter who the channeler is, any continued messages of theirs that speak to the need for self-reflection and developing greater love and compassion will reach audiences that would benefit most from their wisdom!
