My Personal Spiritual Journey

I have always been an unusually sensitive and perceptive person to others and the conditions around me. Since childhood, my sensitivities often caused reactions in others that either surprised or puzzled them. There were times when I would be praised for offering helpful and thoughtful advice, wise beyond my young years. These moments, where insightful guidance would unexpectedly spring out of me, helped bring calmness and a deeper understanding to the listener challenged with a trying situation. And then, there were times that I would catch someone off guard by blurting out things before they would happen. For me, I delighted in knowing the things that I knew and was confused as to how others didn't. But, it was not until I became an adult that my highly-sensitive self would finally really make sense to me and those around me.
 
Several years ago, for a two month period which began right before my 37 birthday, I  was surprised by having what would be called a “Miraculous Experience.”  I awoke in the middle of the night to see the silhouette of a large man’s figure cast across my bedroom doors. Needless to say, I was beyond stunned and confused. Mesmerized, I couldn’t move and I just  sat there staring at the man’s silhouette, trying to figure what to  make of it. Soon, I heard the words “Spirit Guide” in my head. The  man’s silhouetted figure stood there all night long. I know, because I  never fell back to sleep.  I just laid there and watched it… watching  over me. During the next two months, an array of different Spirit Guides, men and women, would take turns and stand by my bed and cast  their silhouettes over my doors for the night.

At this point, I thought  nothing could ever amaze me again. I was wrong. I awoke one night  towards the end of the “Experience” to see an Angel’s silhouette  standing by my bed. I was speechless, really, really speechless. All I could do was blink in amazement as I lay in my bed and watched the most beautiful silhouette of an Angel fill up my bedroom wall. Not only  did she stand there all night long, but the most brilliant white light, I’ve ever seen, illuminated from one of her Angel wings, across my night stand. At that time, all I could do was breath.  During the time that followed, what I refer to as my really big “Wake Up” call, I experienced many paranormal events. The really cool ones involved my Spirit Guides and Angel. I was pleasantly surprised, actually more like, shocked, to learn that when I would talk to them – they would answer me. After having these “conversations” with them, things began to make more sense to me: this was the wise voice that I was familiar to hearing in my head, independent of my own thoughts, all my life. Now, having received an understanding of the origin of the "The Voice," things became more clear. The Voice that came in quieter during my childhood, now came in much louder; and, began to channel lengthy, inspiring answers... to help me understand.   Eventually, however, I began to experience the energies of beings not in the Light. Unfamiliar with these kinds of uncomfortable experiences, I reached the point where I needed answers.

Raised in an Irish-Catholic family in a small town in the Midwest, I was completely unfamiliar with the metaphysical world. It was a very foreign way of thinking and living to me. Determined to face these dramatic experiences, I knew I had to do something to help me regain the power back in my life. I set out to gain an understanding of all the things that I saw, heard, felt and experienced.

By going to psychic development courses, my situation changed immediately. Once there, things began to make even better sense to me. I gained an understanding of psychic abilities; what they were and how they worked...and then I finally understood the nature of all my sensitivities and unusual experiences.

Fortunately, I was given clarity about a part of me that was misunderstood and unrecognized growing up in a "traditional" household. I was relieved to finally gain a clearer insight into the abilities that I was born with. Abilities, that, although dimmed over time to allow me to fit more easily in with the mainstream, still remained a part of my being. Having achieved a greater understanding and through a lot of dedication on my part, I was now able to fully open to my spiritual gifts and share them for their intended purpose... to help.

With the jolt of my super big "Wake Up" call from the higher realms and overcoming many challenges along my journey, I am grateful to, finally, be on the path that I was intended for: to help by bridging the two worlds - the physical world and the otherside.
