When it comes to my personal spiritual journey, I can honestly say, it’s been much like a roller coaster ride. There have been times of extreme lows when I’ve questioned everything. Times I’ve been angry and even hated God for the mass inequities. I’ve lived in the age old, “there can’t be a God, with all this suffering.”
I believe questioning is not only common to get to a higher understanding, but also, needed. Personally, I believe in an afterlife. I believe our souls are having a human experience and I don’t think this is or has been our only time here. I am sure each of us are here to learn from and to teach other souls. There are some souls who see the world with a deeper understanding than others. I believe in the concept of “old soul.” An old soul has lived many lessons and are at a higher awareness. If open to their lessons, they draw you in. There’s a connection your soul craves and a peace you immediately feel from these people.
In Covid, I decided to pursue my lifelong interest in mediumship and all the wonders surrounding it. I first completed my energy wellness certification. Learning about the energy within the body and how we have the capability to heal. I have embraced my own abilities to move energy to areas of pain, and how that helps to heal. The intuition I receive, as I help others to heal themselves has come naturally to me. I believe I was ready to take on this concept, so it was natural and easy. I’ve learned so much about myself, humankind and the powers that God has given each of us.
My psychic medium certification came next. I am a student medium who is learning how to quiet my mind and tune into the energies around me. The spirits talk and I can see them in my minds eye and in my surroundings. As I learn to hone this more, it’s the journey that brought here, that is so important to me. I’m 54 years old and in my lifetime, I have experienced much when it comes to spirits, but it took me until now to really understand those experiences. Energy is all around us, we are just energy and that is what is left behind when we pass. Tuning into the energy of the earth is a “skill” anyone can learn.
I understand that some believe this is something we should not delve into. To them, it is wrong in some way and against the teachings of God. For me, the simplicity of “all of us are energy,” has been a spiritual awakening. I feel closer to God, as I understand this more deeply.
I believe my youngest daughter brought me to this place. We started to learn more as we built a deeper understanding together through classes at a place that has become a “second home” to me.
Tarot is another experience I have learned from. Gwenn and I had taken classes, but it wasn’t until we started attending a “practice class” once a month, that it all started to click. We probably had no business attending that class, but the teacher was kind and patient. As I learned more about intuition and tarot, the connections came together. Being in the company of others who want to understand, helps me to build on, and trust my intuition more.
The multiple ways I have chosen to learn more about this “secret world,” has helped me to simplify it all. I am amazed by the knowledge I have experienced. The journey is still new, but it has been eye opening. To be in the company of other’s who have an interest in the spirits that surround us, helps me to feel more at peace. I do not feel as alone, in how I have experienced life. There is no coincidence in this world. All the people we encounter are meant to be in our path. We learn from all experiences and the choices we make. Our souls crave what we need to learn, and for me, this was a path I finally turned down. This was something my soul found peace and comfort in. I am grateful for the people I have found, and the opportunity I have had to learn. But, I now know, it is not a coincidence, I discovered “my people.” Grateful for their beliefs, and for their deeper level of understanding, that I craved. It has brought me a peace and joy, I didn’t even know, I was missing. Thank you to all of you at The Purple Door, a place where I found peace, understanding and acceptance.
