Calling something a ‘beginning’ or ‘end’ really just points to a significant event or time in one’s life that changes it in a meaningful way.
The beginning of my spiritual journey started, like it does for many people, with the celestial two-by-four.
It was in late 2007, when I visited my family of origin in Germany for Christmas. Germans know how to celebrate this winter holiday, and I was excited to take my daughter there. For her it would be the first time to experience the bustle and hustle of Christmas markets, the smell of mulled wine and smoking cones, the tasteful decorations in candlelit windows in the cold and dark evenings. We were eagerly anticipating this magical time with my parents, sisters and their families.
Well, it was a memorable Christmas for sure, but for a different reason.
I found out that a prominent member of my family has a mental illness. This was the first time I have ever experienced her like that, and I was horrified. No one in my family knew how to deal with it, and she refused to get professional support.
When I got back to the States in late 2007 I needed help myself. This experience had left me anxious, troubled and worried. I laid awake for hours at night, reliving the events of that trip over and over.
So I reached out to a German couple that I had met earlier in 2007. They had come to the US to start an Energy Work business. By this point I was familiar with Energy Work, had read about some techniques and even dabbled in running energy through my hands. This couple welcomed me with open arms, and one evening soon after, the work began.
It was a dark and stormy night.. actually I don’t remember how the weather was. But it was dark when I got there – we all had kids that needed to be in bed, and working in the evening was the only viable option.
First we talked a little, then my friends asked me to hop onto their massage table. Laying down with two people moving their hands around me, only touching my feet occasionally, was a bit weird. I am very pragmatic and didn’t see how waving hands in the air could make a difference, but at this point I was open for anything.
After the session, I felt tired, but also calm. Then I noticed – the anxiety was gone! This was amazing, I wasn’t even aware that being anxious was my normal state of being. But now that it was gone I noticed! Elated, I went home.
The next morning I woke up feeling as if I had been run over by a truck. My head hurt, so did my whole body. My stomach was in a knot and I felt so weak I couldn’t stand up straight. It didn’t even cross my mind that this could be related to the energy session I had gotten the night before.
When my friends checked in with me via phone that morning, I mentioned feeling terrible, and they asked me to come by right away.
Grateful for being able to share my misery, I went there to lay on the table yet again. This time my friend just touched my feet, and I could almost hear the ‘whoosh’ of energy rushing out! I felt better instantly, and was fully restored after getting back up.
I couldn’t believe it! Feeling better instantly just from moving some energy? But I couldn’t deny the huge shift I had just experienced.
This is what energy work can do? It is that powerful?
I was hooked and wanted to learn everything about it! My friends offered to teach me what they knew and I eagerly accepted. This started an apprenticeship with them that lasted almost a year.
During the apprenticeship I learned how to unearth my intuition, how to cleanse energy fields – in people as well as locations, how to work with plant essences and crystals, how to deeply listen, how to cherish my extreme sensitivity as a gift instead of a problem, and much more.
At my ‘graduation’ I met with my light team and solemnly promised to help others with the gifts I had just received, and to pass them on to whomever wanted to learn them too. The years that followed I spent learning more techniques and – through these techniques – I learned more about myself.
Now I am passing it on to you, just as I promised my light team back in 2008. It is a precious gift indeed, and ready for whomever feels called to it. Times surely have changed since I woke up to this universe of magic inside of myself over a decade ago, and my hope is that everyone can experience some of that amazingly loving source energy too, which will help us get through these chaotic times with more ease.
Thank you for being on your journey, and thank you for being here!
