As you can imagine, all my friends see me as a total Woo-Woo person -- here I am a fulltime astrologer, working
publicly on my psychic abilities -- only yesterday a friend came over for an energetic healing session in which we read her cards and I worked on her chakras, asking Archangel Michael for help!
But it wasn't that long ago I was a cigarette-smoking, beer-drinking party girl/journalist. It was only after doing a GRUELLING tv job in London that I decided I needed to have some kind of tool to help me cope with stress - I learned how to meditate and that totally changed my life.
MEDITATION ROCKED MY WORLD
I was raised a Catholic and always had a strong connection to Spirit and Jesus (and still do) but had many issues with the Church which stopped me from really blossoming spiritually until I found meditation.
A few years after studying meditation, I connected with a Chakra expert on the Internet
-- I was in Sydney and he was in the US, but he taught courses in Switzerland. So I made sure I was there to do his course in Chakra Healing. It was one of those times when I felt so excited, like I was hearing my calling
-- this happened to me with writing as well, when I was a teenager.
So I did the course and I can see now why Spirit directed me to do it -- because Chakras are the portal between life here in the 3D world and the spirit world.
CONNECTING WITH THE DIVINE
I started to write more about healing in my journalism work, sort of coming out of the closet as a bit of a New Ager. I wrote about the benefits of meditation and dabbled in alternative health writing - eg: about St Johns Wort and so on, when these were still untried and untested ideas in mainstream magazines.
The next giant leap came for me when I went to interview Deepak Chopra, Louise L. Hay and James Redfield in the US - I got to spend several hours one on one with each of these luminaries and I think they rewired my brain - Deepak in particular.
And then a few years ago, I went to India, to the home of the Divine Mother, in a small town called Malaikodi --
narayanipeedam.org
-- which was the start of my Goddess quest.
LIGHT A CANDLE EVERY DAY
And that has been my journey so far, long may it continue! I asked Deepak Chopra once what he thought the best thing to do is, if you want to invite Spirit into your life every day and he said to meditate. I would agree with that, and add "light a candle" and just say hi to your Angels and God/dess.
