Where to Begin…

For my 35th birthday I wanted to do two things for myself: get a new tattoo and see a psychic.  I was nervous and excited about both.  Growing up with a strict Christian upbringing, I was taught psychics were of the devil and evil.  I had left the religion many years ago.  I had also left the old belief systems however, I still had some subconscious fears lingering.  I was referred to Ms. Lee from a friend and nervously awaited my appointment with the psychic.  My heart was racing, afraid of what she might tell me.  I went in with no expectations.  During my reading I was blown away.  It was clear she was communicating with something that I could not see.  Later, when I asked her, she said she was communicating with my spirit guide.  I asked her what this was, assuming it was a deceased relative, however she told me otherwise.  A spirit guide is someone we have known in a previous lifetime whom we had contracted with to guide us in this life.  I had never heard of this before, nor had I been particularly attracted to the idea of past lives although I had studied them somewhat when I discovered Buddhism.

Left with a feeling of wanting more, I had a lot to think about.  A few days later, I was at the library with my kids.  As we went to leave, I saw a book sitting on a shelf as if someone had left it.  It was Your Psychic Self, by Melissa Alvarez.  I looked around to make sure it didn’t belong to anyone.  It was so strange how it was sitting there out of place as if it was asking me to read it.  I ended up taking it home with me that day and eating up every word.  This was the beginning of my journey into metaphysics and the journey back to my self.

Fast forward a couple years and I am now six months into a Medical Intuitive class.  As part of our “fun work” I am being held accountable each week to meditate daily.  This has been the most effective tool to connect with my higher self or my soul and to connect with Source.  Whenever I use the word Source, I am referring to what some people call God or universal energy/life force.  Doing this is very easy.  You can simply sit or lay in a quiet place and close your eyes and listen to the sound of your breath going in and out.  More to come on meditation and the tools we are using to connect to the energy of Source which is in all of us.  We are one.
