When I started my journey as a healer, I didn't know I would become a mystic. I didn't even know such people existed, I never thought about it. I was living my "normal" life, and had just been through a very traumatic time in our family. Extremely traumatic, the kind of thing no one should ever experience.
From these moments of deep grief and pain, magick is born. The spirits begin to come in, spirits both passing through and wishing to speak and be heard, and angels wishing to assist you in survival.
Six months after the traumatic experience in our family, the left side of my brain suddenly went out. I was talking on the phone with my sister, discussing the loss in our family, when suddenly my brain just ... went dark on the left side. I got off the phone, my knees kind of buckled.
Weeks of testing and doctors' visits ensued. I could barely walk, I couldn't look at my phone. For a year and a half, I struggled. I looked like a leaning tower when I walked, I could not stand straight. I began to recognize that the pain medication the doctor had put me on was taking hold as an addiction and I gave it up, putting myself into withdrawals instantly.
I stayed in my house, wondering if my life was over. I could not watch tv because it made me too dizzy, and I could not read books.
I waited for God to heal me, and heal me He did.
But not the way I thought He would. Shamanic teaching came to me, sacred ancestors brought me theirs song and taught them to me. Angels assisted my healing, and helped me through the anxiety. I found a teacher who could assist me with the new things I was experiencing, and slowly we put it all together.
And one day, I realized that I was so strong that I could carry entire energy fields within me. I could allow my body to be used as an instrument for healing others. Mostly it is the pain in our minds that we need assistance with. I mainly work with trauma survivors, as those are the ones who come to me most often, along with creative types who need assistance with jumpstarting creativity and those on the path of abundance. There's so much we can do with our bodies and our minds, and that became my mission. I honestly believe that the Universe never leaves us with nothing. If we can see the miracle in the storm, we can become something better and more than we ever dreamed. It is my greatest joy to see others experience the step-by-step process of healing. It is truly Magic.
