BRIGHT LIGHTS SRIKUMAR RAO BRINGS ANCIENT SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS TO BUSINESSES
When Srikumar Rao, the son of a highly spiritual mother, was growing up in India and Burma (now Myanmar), it wasn't unusual for people like the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the creator of Transcendental Meditation, to visit his home. “This was before he was discovered by the Beatles and [actor] Mia Farrow, so he was not a global celebrity,” says Rao, now 73. “He was just a guy who had wandered off the mountains. But his spiritual presence was very strong.”

LEE HARRIS: CHANNELING AS A TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOL
British-born energy intuitive, channeler, and musician LEE HARRIS arrived on the planet with a collective of 88 energies called the Z's in tow. But by the time he was 6 years old, Zachary, Zapharia, Ziadora & Co. had grown silent. Not so today. Since 2000, Harris has regularly communed with the “voice of galactic consciousness”—in books such as the Conversations with the Z's series and Energy Speaks, on his podcast Impact the World, and during a monthly Energy Update on YouTube that taps into what’s happening for the world. Spiritual seekers are listening—and healing and awakening. Harris reaches 2 million people each month through a combination of all his platforms plus his online community, The Portal. The multifaceted teacher spoke to contributing editor KAREN BRAILSFORD about his journey and shared tips on how to connect to one’s guides. At the end of their conversation, some very special guests dropped in with a powerful message for Spirituality & Health readers.
