I first discovered metaphysical studies nine years ago, right after I got out of high school. In those first couple of years, I read lots of books by psychics such as Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, John Edward, and Echo Bodine. I was fascinated by their experiences and always wished it was something I could do, but I thought I wasn’t intuitive at all. I also thought that intuitive people were talented that way from a young age, and since I wasn’t that intuitive, I probably couldn’t learn it. I tried a couple of books and audio tapes for past life regression and psychic development, but they didn’t work for me because I didn’t trust what I was getting.
Well, a number of years later, I’ve realized that intuition is far more subtle than I thought initially, and I have gotten more sensitive to energies than I was before. I started getting into Reiki and felt that I would really like to offer Reiki clients some intuitive insight with each session. That in turn had me looking for psychic development classes.
So I started a six-week course here in Seattle and then found a six-month program that I’m going to start in May. I’m a couple of weeks into the six-week course with a local psychic named Shannon Faulkes. I found her by way of a text ad in Gmail for someone else’s website (which linked to a healing center she works out of), and it just so happened that she co-hosts a radio show with Echo Bodine, one of the first psychics I’ve read about. Full circle! I’m loving every class and the meditation/reading exercises I get to do every day. This is something I’ve wanted for so long and never thought I could do.
