ON PURPOSE!
Growing up a psychic empath is an adventure in itself.
Random and chaotic visions and inuitive messages popping up in my head. Prophetic dreams. Ghosts in my room!
No control, just suddenly I'd KNOW about a person.
So I'll never forget 1987, the first time I learned how to consciously control this gift.
My teacher was a shaman and he asked me to follow the beat of his drum to the one of three levels on the other side. I traveled down in to the lower level through an underwater cave and fell out among lush grassy marsh land, thick woods, by gurgling streams a gorgeous rainbow water fall.
In a clearing was a fire pit, years later this fire pit would become my familiar stomping ground, a meeting place where I'd meet up with spirit guides, power animal helpers and divine guides of those I'd be journeying for.
But that first time, I looked at this fire pit, willow trees and beautiful deep greens, as a new and wonderous place.
My heart felt pure joy and leapt with anticipation at what may come next! I never fail to feel the same peace and joy each time I visit.
The drum beat changed and called me back to my still supine body, laying on a thin blanket with head cradled in a pillow. I was in a room filled with other seekers who were also experiencing their first guided journeys.
We were to choose a partner to journey for on our next trip. We were to carry our partner's question to the other side with us, retrieve our partner's power animal, and ask that animal to answer a question.
I didn't know her name or where she was from. She didn't know mine. But my partner asked me to find out for her what she should decide regarding her career.
The beat of the drum guided me once again back through my underwater cave and into the mysteriously beautiful world of spirit.
Several animals were in the forest with me this time, but one little orange with white fox kept appearing and disappearing in the brush.
Each time a bit closer, Each time showing a different portion of itself to me. Once the profile of it's little body, another time a sharp clear blue eye, and lastly tiny pointed ears.
Suddenly I just knew this was my partner's power animal. So I invited him to jump into my arms and as the drum beat changed speed, inidicating that it was time for us to return, I asked this fox a question for her. I did this by sending him a thought form with the question contained inside.
Can't explain, it just happened this way.
As we ascended up, up, up the underwater cavern, this little fox sent me clear, colorful pictures as an answer to the question!
I saw a vision of my partner standing in a kitchen befor a counter with a chef hat on.
She was surrounded by pots and pans which hung from a rack above her head, and sat on a stove beside her. In her hands were cooking utensils and she was smiling, a big huge grin!
I sat up from my journey and proceeded to complete the ritual we'd been taught, to give a power animal we'd retrieved, to our partner.
I then told her what her animal had shown me the answer was, and to our mutual satisfaction, she confirmed for me that she'd been a cook for over twenty years and was recently considering leaving this beloved profession.
This was a very clear answer for her, maybe she ought to reconsider!
WOW!
The experiece was life changing for me, because for the first time I knew that with focus and intension, I could 'fine tune' my psychic gifts and DO IT ON PURPOSE!
I was learning how to read my visions, how to recognise spirit guidance and how to retrieve, feel, give, take and work with metaphysical energies!
My tarot cards became a tool for visions. I was finding . . . CLARITY!
One piece of the vast puzzle of my gift had been found & the tip of my metaphysical iceberg had been experienced as a joyful reunion with spirit helpers.
Power animals, spirit helpers and divine guides - we CAN communicate with them ON PURPOSE!
