Is Devotion Just Focus? Not Even Close.

Jul 15, 2025

Recently, someone asked me, “So, I’m guessing devotion—at least in your book—is really about focus, right?”

At first glance, that might seem true. Yes, where you place your attention, you place your energy. But to reduce devotion to focus alone is like saying the ocean is just water. It misses the depths, the tides, the life beneath the surface.

If this were simply about focus, I could’ve written a blog post… not a 400+ page book.

What I’ve been shown—through direct communication with Divine Beings—is that devotion is not just an emotion or action. It is a force. A living, flowing current of creative energy that is always moving through us, whether we’re conscious of it or not. It’s the engine behind everything we create, feel, magnetize, or repel.

And yes, your focus matters. Wherever your attention goes, devotion flows.
But it’s your heart that amplifies it.

When your heart attaches—whether through love, pain, desire, or longing—it intensifies the devotion flowing to that object. That’s when things really start to move. And this is where so many of us get trapped without realizing it.

Let’s say your devotion is unconsciously tied to fleeting things: a specific job, relationship, house, or external goal. These aren’t bad things. They’re part of life. But if your core energetic devotion is wrapped around those impermanent forms, then your emotional state will rise and fall based on whether or not they arrive.

You’re literally tying your inner frequency to something outside of you.

But… what if instead, you aimed your devotion toward something eternal?

When you devote yourself to Source, to Love, to your Higher Self—and then pursue your goals through that alignment—you’re creating from solid ground. You’re no longer dependent on outcomes to determine your worth, your joy, or your peace. You’re in communion with the eternal, even as you move through the temporal.

This is the invitation of my book.

Not just to redefine devotion—but to reclaim it.
To stop unconsciously leaking your power, and start consciously co-creating a life that’s stable, sacred, and in harmony with your soul.

The book unpacks this in seven pillars, each one exploring a different way this magnificent force works in and through us. It’s nuanced. It’s layered. And honestly? Even writing this barely scratches the surface.

But I hope this opens the door.
Because understanding the energetic force of devotion isn’t just a spiritual concept—it’s a survival skill. And when you learn to devote yourself to that which is eternal, you align with the highest good of all.

Not just yours.
But everyone’s.

With love,
Shanti
