People often ask me how I became a medium. Honestly? it was as if one day a light switch went on in me and I was able to see, hear and know things in a way I had never before experienced. I had no plans to work in this field. I was very content teaching elementary art to lots of wonderful children. But let me go back a bit.... I have always been very spiritually based. When I was young, I remember seeing and hearing things from other realms. Because I used to be very timid and fearful, the fear started blocking my window into these other realms. Throughout my life I would still have the occasional spirit encounter, but I never dwelt on it. Around the age of twenty eight I became very ill. For a few years after that I was in constant, excruciating pain. It was not fun! I remember being in bed after surgery thinking, "There's GOT to be more to life than this." I felt as if I was trying to remember something really important I'd forgotten. I hate when that happens! During the same time period my Mom, my friend Corbin and myself, along with other spiritually based people, started meeting regularly at my Mom's yoga studio. There we would talk, meditate, share ideas and insights. Through this consistent interaction and support I found myself feeling better, more alive and light filled. I felt as if I was waking from a deep sleep. Little by little I remembered my purpose for being here: to do some good in this world. While a simple thought, it's effect on me was profound. More and more energy activated in me. Around the time of my 33rd birthday, the doorway opened to these other realms. While it was overwhelming to see spirits this clearly, it was also like finding an old friend. My Mom and my buddy Corbin helped support me through the process of living in two different worlds. As far as that pesky illness goes, I now view it as a blessing. Ill health stripped away all of the distractions of my life. I was left with my true self. The process allowed me to go deeper within and to be more open to the energies around me. The world started to return to the magical world I inhabited when I was five. One day Corbin mentioned that he'd been talking to a woman he'd met in a doctors office. She had just suffered the loss of a loved one. Corbin suggested that we meet with her. Maybe we could help. That was our first session. Corbin and I did the session together. We have kept it that way ever since because we work so well together as a team. I, personally, wouldn't have it any other way!! Many blessings to you and yours! Natalie |
