I believe in spirit guides, guardian angels, the power of prayer, spirit and divine presence; especially for other people. For myself I become skeptical – and if what I read or hear goes too far into the “outer dimensions”, I become a quasi non-believer; a questioner. My left-brain takes over and says things with sarcasm like – “Seriously” “Oh Dear!” and “You have got to be kidding!” I am not proud of it, especially since using prayer and affirmations saved me in my darkest moments, but it is a part of me none-the-less!
In the beginning I thought card reading and psychic development were a novelty. Something I was curious about as a hobby. I went to psychic fairs and metaphysical stores looking for folks advertising something I had never heard of…. and wondering if there was a 6th sense gift that I had. Psychic and intuitive development had captured me and I began practicing. First with a deck of playing cards and then a pendulum. I learned numerology and astrology, took classes in psychic development and worked with a Mother Peace tarot deck http://www.motherpeace.com/ and the Medicine Cards http://www.medicinecards.com/ . I was growing in confidence and friends began asking for readings. I am a natural helper and loved the connection we were making with spirit and spiritual principles. In addition, friends reported feeling helped and comforted by the spiritual messages I offered. I noticed peaceful and calm feelings for all of us as the readings unfolded.
In the early 90’s I met Liz MacDonald who does angel readings and uses automatic writing to communicate with her guides and angels. http://www.angelreading.com/ I had never seen the automatic writing process or watched someone communicate with their guides directly. I had seen mediums and psychics commune with those who have died, but not those from other realms. Another surprise was that Liz suggested these guides can help in my daily life. Huh! Not just the “big stuff” but all the activities of my day. I realized at this point that I could use an active connection with spirit to enhance my daily life and a window of awakening opened in me and changed my life.
After several readings she suggested that I also had the gift of connecting to my guides with automatic writing. She patiently mentored me through hundreds of questions, and statements (remember the skeptic ?) that started with “yes, but…” or “how do you know …..” or “what if…” I express gratitude often for her patient teaching and kindness as she shepherded me to a higher consciousness of thought. After logging hundreds of hours of practice, I noticed had become proficient in automatic writing and was communicating daily with my personal team of spirit guides and guardian angels that I choose to simply call “Guidance”.
I had been seeking a spiritual tool to use as a daily compass pointing me in the direction of God. Keeping my “true north” calibrated to spirit and healing and then directing my self-talk as positive and hopeful. The automatic writing provided this for me and when I began writing for others they reported that it provided the same for them. My self-talk became positive, which immediately boosted my self-esteem and self-confidence. When my thoughts drifted to a well-laid pattern of worry or anxiety, I inserted the affirmations and prayers I was writing as a way to stay focused on health and happiness in the present moment.
Over a ten year period I wrote several hundred affirmations and longer pieces that I call prayers. I hear them as I write as individual words or phrases; sections of the whole. When the writing is complete I am able to read a piece in its entirety and understand the context and spiritual meaning. As my personal ritual became writing each morning, I noticed I felt inspired and hopeful and oddly calm in response to daily stressors.
A swelling feeling of desire had been created for me to share this work with others in the hope that they too would feel relief and peace. Writing and publishing Gifts from Guidance http://www.giftsfromguidance.com/ certainly changed me and changed the course of my own life. I really do believe that when we are at our lowest points in life, affirmations, positive thought and prayer can bring some measure of lightness to the darkness. Today my troubles and worries seem to pass quicker and I am practiced at inserting spiritual thought and positive affirmations when I have gone to a pattern of thinking feafully.
I am so grateful to my early teachers for guiding me to this intuitive gift that is innately mine. To be able to hear these beautiful messages through writing has saved me and has saved a few of my closest friends. The book is now traveling into the world on its own. I feel a bit like the parent watching their kindergartener off to the first day or driving away from the child that is staying at college. It is my greatest desire to help people who are suffering or who have survived the crashing reality of failure, loss, betrayal and remorse. Those dark edges where people can not really comfort each other but Spirit can. God can. Higher Power can. Love can.
