My Spiritual Awakening
I have been asked many times about how I started my journey in this spiritual space so I thought I would take the time to tell my story…………..
It's hard to know exactly when it all started, but I feel as though my Spiritual Awakening truly began in 2016. I was laying on a massage table, one I had been on many times before, and looked up to see a certificate on the wall and the word that stood out to me was REIKI…..
I had never heard of it but within the next two weeks, I was sitting in a room with 3 others and my now Reiki Master. Andrea Lowery. In that very first Reiki Attunement I was so blessed to meet my beautiful guide, Heather, who had already been part of my life before her passing a few months before. She walked up to me during my meditation and placed her hand in mine. She said to tell Margie, the name she used for my Mum (her cousin), that she would keep me safe on my journey. And let me tell you, seven years on, she has done so much more than that.
A few weeks later, I attended a Seance (yes, I know what you are thinking) with a beautiful man Matt that soon became my mentor. Matt taught me about how to use a spirit board safely and how to connect with my Master Guide, Vokel. The most active member of my spiritual team when using the spirit board was always Heather.
I went on to attune to Reiki 2 and then much later, my Reiki mastership. Reiki for me was the beginning, the opening up to something far greater that what I had experienced in my lifetime. As I began to work with clients, I began to know things, say things that I had no idea where the information had come from. Most people would have questioned it, would have required proof that this information was right, but not me……….I realised in that moment that I had always trusted, always known there was something inside of me waiting to be awakened.
Don’t get me wrong, the first few weeks of my awakening were unsettling as I knew that something BIG was happening, but I never imagined how amazing life was about to become. It was so hard to stay grounded, do the human things that I have always done, I just wanted to put on my backpack and walk away from everything I had known, to explore this new spiritual pathway. Now wouldn’t that have been amazing!! For those that awakening in the 20’s, OMG, how lucky they are………….not meant to be for me as I was well and truly in my 40’s, married with 3 children.
Seven years on from that incredible beginning I have learned so much from many different mentors. I have devoured spiritual books, podcasts, workshops, retreats, and been to many healers and spiritual practitioners. I have studied many modalities including Pellowah, Sound Massage, Crystal Body Therapy and others but now bring all of that together in my own style of Energy Healing, known simply as Intuitive Healing. I have been teaching Yoga Nidra Meditation for many years, in fact, lifetimes if I am truly honest. It wasn’t until I forgot to bring my script into the studio one day that put my ego and human self aside, and simply allowed spirit to channel through me. Now I never know where we are going to journey each week, but that’s what makes it more extraordinary …………..TRUST.
Whilst I am still seeking, I tend to spend more time these days with my spiritual team, devoting time to my inner journey. I now sit in a beautiful circle each week which is facilitated by the most extraordinary teachers and space holders.
Everyone who is blessed to awaken on a spiritual level will have a different story, a different experience. This is mine.
