of The Living Spirit Answers for Healing and Infinite Love and is
delighted to welcome Maresha Donna Ducharme (https://mareshaducharme.com) author of The Way Home To
Love. In these changing challenging times we must embrace our inner
sense of knowing or soul wisdom to find peace well being happiness and
be part of the move to higher consciousness.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” expect my guests and I share our
intimate stories as we remember embrace and reflect on the true nature
of physical and spiritual energetic life. It is through developing
spiritual awareness and practices that we may allow love and peace to
enter our busy complicated daily lives and became more fully cognizant
of our dual nature as both energetic and physical beings who are more
than our body and more than the challenges that surface to remind us of
our compassionate loving nature even as we conquer our fears and
limitations which appears to be the real purpose of this physical life
we have chosen to experience.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Maresha Donna Ducharme
author of The Way Home To Love suggests we ask the question, “If Jesus
Buddha Krishna and the Divine Mother were to meet in conversation what
would each think of the other’s spiritual points of view. Maresha has
been engaged in a long dialogue between the many comparative traditions
and distills the essence of unity and love held within the heart that is
the foundation of all spiritual traditions. We will explore what is
universally sacred and how to find within ourselves a wellspring of love
and peace.
When Maresha is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a
person place or event that may have alerted her or other people around
her to the life plan or destiny she might pursue she responded that even

library on astrology esoteric spirituality and dream work and I asked my

life. Her knowledge was deep and her love was vast.
Sheryl says to Maresha that she is aware that she had a strong desire
to go to church on Sunday and be in a sacred place. Her hope was to meet
God and that was the beginning of an inner quest for truth. Maresha
also began a teaching career in the public schools but was disappointed
with that and knew there was more for her to find. Sheryl shares with
Maresha that she had exactly the same experiences as she traveled her
path to peace.
Maresha tells her about finding her way and acquiring degrees in

Kundalini Shaktipat tradition. In 2000 she established the Sanctuary a
