SG note:  I found Denell through her Etsy shop two years ago.  I recommended her readings to friends and one friend invited her to teach a local workshop.  We met then and hit it off right away.  We often confide in each other because we both actively practice our spiritual gifts and we often exchange readings with each other. 

Denell’s gifts are amazing.  In her angel course she said she could see fairies in the plant in the room.  I thought that was amazing!  Since then I have been able to connect to fairies as well but for a while I thought I was going nowhere although she assured me I was connecting.  In the end, it’s great that I can tell her anything and she won’t think I am crazy and vice versa. In fact, we both think life is quite magical and fun!

SG: Describe your business.  How did you get started? 

I am an Angel Intuitive offering a range of intuitive services from Oracle Card Readings to Reiki Energy Healing as well as Past Life and Angel Healing Services. I have been an Angel Intuitive since I was a baby though I didn’t actually realize this is what it was until 2011. My strongest ability is channeling and I have been doing this since I was old enough to write. At the end of 2011 after meeting several soul family members I opened my Etsy shop and things really took off. As my quest for more and more knowledge continues I take classes and read constantly to update myself on the newest practices and how to incorporate new services into my business.  I have been so blessed in finding great friends who not only support me in this but also allow me to teach and even more importantly, be taught by others every single day. My soul reverberates with joy with each new client and each healing I provide to others.

SG: When was the first time you realized you were different spiritually?

I always knew I was different from others, I remember seeing and speaking to spirits and angels as a very young child. However, I kept it quiet because I was raised in a very strict family and it was not something you ever spoke of. As I hit my teen years the spirits faded away but even in elementary school I remember the timed journal writing and I loved this part of school while everyone else seemed to dread it. I would have five pages written by the end and I would look around and everyone else had a sentence or two.  I never felt like I quite fit in anywhere, especially with people – I realize now I was always searching for that soul connection with others and I did not find that until 2010 when I met my best friend and a few other soul family members.

SG: When was the first time you decided to find out what your gifts were and how to use them?

In 2011 my best friend and I were both practicing Astral Travel and Dreamwalking: the most memorable first experience was when my best friend called me up and asked if I was okay, I was confused because nothing un-ordinary had happened that day. She explained that she had seen me in her room even though at the time we lived 3,000 miles away from each other; she on the east coast and I on the west. She said it was like I was really there, talking to her though she could tell I was in Spirit form. This was the first time I had successfully astral traveled and I had not even realized I was doing it. Earlier that day I had been daydreaming about exactly what happened in her room. Later, my angels confirmed that I am a natural astral traveler and I visit the spirit world and loved ones almost every night and even during the day while I am doing mundane things.  I was amazed and continued to practice this amazing skill until I could do it at will.

SG: If you could give advice to your younger self/child about your gifts, what would you say?

To embrace all that you are and all that you will become, you are unique, blessed and loved so much. Seek out those who embrace your uniqueness, that you feel connected to and never let anyone make you think negatively about yourself. You are special and your gifts are needed on the planet at this time. You are a healer, heal yourself and you heal the world.

SG: What advice would you give to someone who just realized their spiritual gifts?

Embrace and develop your intuition, it will be your greatest asset! Keep reading, find spiritual friends who will support you – they will become your family – never stop learning! Connect daily with your guides and angels for they have important information for you. Meditation and Yoga will help you balance your life and most of all never forget that you are the most important person in your life, take care of yourself so you can help others!

SG: What part of your gift is your favorite and why?  What is your least favorite and why?

My favorite gift is Oracle Reading, I love the cards and the positive messages they bring. Their vibration is so high and full of light and love. The best part of this gift is helping others, especially, when they feel like all hope is lost and it’s the end of their world. The cards and messages give them renewed hope, strength and faith that they are not alone, that the Universe is one of pure love.

My least favorite gift is working with Spirits because they do not follow the same rules as Angels and Guides, they still have ego and free will, they may or may not tell the truth about things. This part of my gifts scare me in a certain way because I have seen my own past lives where I was persecuted for my gifts when working with the spirit world but also in that Spirits harmed me physically in previous incarnations and even possessed me. In this incarnation I am very well protected and they are unable to enter me but working with them alone is very scary for me and something I have not completely overcome.

SG: What is the funniest thing that happened to you regarding your gifts?

While spending time with my best friend we discovered that our Spirit Guides are soul family and were married thru several incarnations. Her guide is Marcus, a WWII hero who died in action and I have Rebecca. While sitting near the fire talking late one night we were laughing as Marcus entertained us with his pranks and antics around the house as everyone else slept. He looked nervous as he continued to make us laugh and a short while later we found out why, he was hiding from Rebecca. She never did tell me what he did but she came through a wall like a ton of bricks headed straight for him and he jumped up to the ceiling – I thought I was watching a cartoon! He disappeared through the ceiling and all was quiet for a minute and then he peeked his head through the wall near us making us both jump out of our seats. We both swatted at him like we could actually touch him and he grinned until Rebecca came storming through the living room. We watched them play hide and seek through the walls for a good 15 minutes and we could not stop laughing. It was hilarious!

SG: Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts?  And what are we supposed to use them for?

I believe that before we reincarnate we decide if we wish to use intuitive abilities in our life and if it will serve our highest purpose and that of the planet at the designated time. I believe in this incarnation I am using my gifts to help others who are in desperate search of the light in the world today. Negativity crawls up every crack in our society so is it any wonder many of us have a hard time in clearing and cleansing ourselves of this? We are supposed to use our gifts to help others, the planet, Mother Earth and to help those who are newer souls heal wounds. New souls are often the ones we have a hard time getting along with, they are most often criminals or dangerous addicts. They need our love and healing just as much as other lightworkers do.

SG: Why are we here?

We are here at this time to keep advancing our souls. As an ancient soul I have seen some of my very first incarnations which occurred at the beginning of the timeline when people lived in caves and the earth was very dry and survival depended on your every action and move. I can see just how far I have advanced personally and in the past lives I have seen it is amazing what we can accomplish. The soul is a beautiful thing but not something that ends, the physical body withers away but the soul ascends and heals until it is ready to experience the beauty of life once again.

SG: What do you wish that people knew or understood the most about you?

It is a constant struggle I endure as the only one who is spiritually minded in my family and extended family. As they are all catholic and they buy into the fear induced proclamations of the church and the world I wish they could or would try to understand my point of view more. Fear is a powerful emotion and I wish to eradicate that from those that I love but they see me as the black sheep with unorthodox opinions and views which couldn’t possibly be correct. Fear is an illusion our ego subjects us to in order to control us. However, I have to remember they are on their path for a reason and I am on mine and betwixt the two shall meet at some point, either here on this planet or in the Spirit Realm.

SG: What do you wish the world would know or understand?

I wish the world would know and understand that Love is the only real entity in life. If we would all spend as much time loving each other, assisting our neighbors and sending love to anyone and everyone the world would be much more at peace. Each soul must live according to their truth and there is no wrong truth. By living and breathing in your own truth you allow your true nature to come forward and who you truly are is what this world needs. Live your life for you in a way that brings joy to you and let others do the same.

SG: What do you envision the world will be like in the future?

At times, when I see the way the government is run, I see in the future many spiritualists refuse to live in a world with so little freedoms and expression. The more technology advances, the less humanized we become. I often see secluded villages of spiritualists who live in harmony and peace with each other. Who help each other survive and exchange energy and barter for necessities. They live in unity as one with Mother Nature bringing back the old traditions of celebrating moon phases, harvests, seasons, etc…When this happens I see them living far out in mother nature … almost like a native American tribe or as the villages in Greece were set up thousands of years ago. I can feel the beauty and peace of such places. 

Finally Finding My Life Purpose

Yes I know it's been a while since I posted.  Things have been weird lately.  I mean, I still see many angel signs (feathers and numbers and even angel wings in the bathroom mirror) but feel like Spirit has been quiet...like they are "busy."  I have a good friend who is an Angel Intuitive as well (you can check out her website here) and she's been feeling the same thing.  She's even gone as far to say she's losing her psychic abilities which I know is not true.

But I wanted to spend time talking about finding your life purpose.   I have been searching for this my entire life.  I always did well in school (despite not excelling at aptitude tests like the SAT or GRE) and I have always wanted to help people, especially people in dire need of help, such as the poor, the hungry or those suffering from war.  By the time I was a college student at New York University (NYU), I narrowed my major down to Urban Studies.  Being a native New Yorker and in love with the city at the time, I felt it was my duty to help.  I looked at government as being the answer or way I would do this.

After two years at NYU, I transferred to SUNY Binghamton basically because of tuition costs.  At the time NYU cost $22,000 a year (seems low compared to my nephew's current tuition of $56,000 a year), so I felt it would be better to transfer there.  The catch was there was no Urban Studies major available, so I picked the closest thing: Political Science.

When I graduated in 1995 I had no idea what kind of job I could get.  A friend suggested I go to grad school so I dodged that bullet and got my Masters in Public Administration.  After graduating I moved back to NYC and got a job in development.  I soon realized I didn't like development and started applying for other jobs.  Actually let's be honest, I got fired from that job and I didn't really care.  I applied for federal jobs because it paid more.  I got offered a job in the city and in Washington DC and I decided to go to DC.

To make a long story short, I kept trying to make a difference but it wasn't working.  And I kept running into crazy office politics, or I got promised to move to a department I wanted to be in and it never happened or, saving the best for last, at my last job I got appendicitis and almost died.

Okay I get the picture now.

All the money and time invested in that career didn't seem to matter.  I know now that this was not a path I was supposed to continue.  So in frustration, I begged my husband to let me leave that job. I did and I focused on something else, having a family.

After my oldest daughter was born, I became a Stay At Home Mom.  And I was happy.  At least I didn't have to deal any difficult people at work.  But I still had that nagging feeling, How was I going to "help"?

Last fall, after seven years of being a stay at home mom, I hit a wall.  I was burnt out.  I hated cooking. I hated doing the laundry.  For years I told myself that I was supporting the family but I needed to do something for myself.  Something other than being a mom or a wife.  So I did two things: became a certified Zumba instructor and got a job teaching art.  I loved teaching art and I still do it.

In the meantime, a friend and I reconnected and we both realized we were on the same spiritual path. She was getting trained in Reiki but I had no interest in it--she is now a Reiki master.  But something changed in me by last spring.  I wanted to try it and I loved it.

I finally found how to help others.  When I conduct a Reiki session, I help my clients release emotions, discover their past lives, reunite with passed loved ones and even learn who their guardian angels are.  When my clients leave they literally look like a different people: relaxed and at peace. That peaceful look on their face is absolutely priceless.

So I finally figured it out after 41 years!  I thought I never would.

I know that my life purpose does not end with Reiki.  I have had two readings with similar messages. The first was "I've just begun" and the second was "this is just a dress rehearsal."  Yes that's right, everything UP TO THIS POINT WAS PRACTICE!  This is what I have done so far since April 2013 (my moment of awakening):

• communicate, see, touch and be touched by Archangels, angels, Ascended Masters, spirit guides and animal guides
• see and talk with fairies
• conduct accurate Tarot and Oracle readings for myself and others
• enter the Akashic library and retrieve the soul book for myself and others
• discovered over 50 specific past lives I have lived on earth
• trained in Reiki 1 and 2
• communicate with passed loved ones and help them heal (both humans and spirits)
• learn and use crystals for healing
• communicate with crystals and even released a trapped spirit

And this is just the dress rehearsal.  Wow!  Something big is going to happen and it's delicious to wait and see what's to come.  

Are you ready to go on the ride with me?

A New Spirit Guide

A year ago I had no clue who my spirit guides were.  Spirit Guides are souls who assist us in our lives on Earth.  They can be a friend or a relative that you never knew.  Through meditation, readings from other talented intuitives and help from my intuitive friends, I know several of my guides today. Recently I met a new spirit guide, and I am sharing the story with you because it's a fascinating story of synchronicity.  In a previous post, I wrote about the clues that Spirit leaves you and how it's a puzzle that you must put together.  Learning about my new spirit guide came to me in just this way, pieces of a puzzle that I finally put together.

One evening. I was following a guided meditation and I was supposed to see a significant symbol for me.  I saw an ornate bow and arrow.  It looked like it was custom made and it was given to me (probably in a past life) as a gift from a king or queen.  I didn't know what it meant at the time but I filed away this information in my mind.

One morning last week, I left my toddler in the kitchen with her breakfast and went up stairs to change. She immediately followed me up the stairs and said she was scared.  I asked her of what.  She said, I am scared of the basement.  I asked, is there someone in the basement?  She said, yes.  A big boy  or little boy?  Big boy. she answered.  I thought uh oh, not another spirit!  But I didn't have time to deal with it at that moment so I said a quick prayer to Archangel Michael to remove any spirits that were not there for our highest good.

Later that I day I was doing Reiki on a friend.  I always connect to Spirit when I do Reiki and I was focusing on her when she says to me, "I have to tell you something.  Someone is here and he keeps saying, tell her I'm here.  Tell her I'm here."  My mind immediately went to the "big boy" in the basement.  She didn't have any other information so I tried to tune in to who this was.  It was a male, older maybe in his 50s and he was wearing a crown.  The name that I got was Richard.  I tried to communicate with him but the veil was thick so I asked Archangel Gabriel to help me figure out who he was.  Gabriel told me it was King Richard and he was here to give me a message.  The message was about the bow and arrow!

King Richard told me that I will be "hitting my target more and more and with better accuracy."  He didn't say with regard to what, but my intuition says this has to do with my psychic gifts.

A few days later I looked up King Richard on the web.  I knew there must be several in Britain.  I looked at pictures and saw one that resembled the spirit I saw.

Richard the Lion Heart

Then I read this, "killed by a crossbow."  Apparently a boy shot the King out of revenge for his parents' death. King Richard actually pardoned the boy and let him go and he died of gangrene as a result of the bow shot.

Oh. My. God.  I sat there and gasped.  Then I thought, I hope I wasn't that boy in a past life!

I still haven't figured out the details about the meaning of the bow and arrow but leave it to Spirit to come up with such an amazing synchronicity!

The Ghost in My Basement

I never really liked to go to the basement by myself, especially at night.  In general, basements and attics give me the creeps.  I have a theory that ghosts (spirits stuck on earth) or souls (spirits that can come and go) like to go to these areas of the house.  Maybe they don't want to be bothered?  Who knows.  That explanation makes more sense for ghosts rather than souls.

Over the years I have discovered that I could feel other spirits' presence.  It's like you know that you are not alone but that other person is invisible!  Sometimes it can make me uncomfortable.  I am OK with knowing they are there but I usually send a silent message not to show themselves.  I think this also explains why I was so afraid of the dark as a child.  I believe I was feeling those spirits and it freaked me out.

I could feel that there was presence in my basement.  But I had no idea who it was.  Recently I figured it out.  But you have to hear the back story first...

Last Christmas my sister came to visit with her family.  She brought her dog with her.  They put his crate in the basement and then asked him to come down the stairs.  He just stood at the top of the stairs and barked and whined. My sister said he usually doesn't act like that.   I thought to myself, uh oh. Maybe he's picking up on the spirit that I was sensing as well? Eventually we coaxed him downstairs and he never fussed again.  But that event stayed with me.

Recently I took a Tarot class with medium/shaman Joy Andreasen.  In our second class, we were discussing dreams.  She said that sometimes you dream about a person because they are actually thinking of you.  Sometimes I dream about random people that I know, and wonder why am I dreaming of them.  Before we met for our last class, I dreamed of Patrick Swayze.  And no, I had not watched any Patrick Swayze movies or heard any music form Dirty Dancing lately.  I dreamed that he and I were in a relationship and we were walking around Los Angeles.  And Patrick was very unhappy.  We went to place to place and after a while, I turned to him and said, "You know why you are unhappy?  Because this place does not fit your values."  When I woke up I thought, why in the world am I dreaming of Patrick Swayze?

So I posed this question to Joy who said she believed I actually had a soul connection with Patrick Swayze in the dream.  Then she asked me if I had dreamed of others who passed.  I said, yes, all the time.  I thought everybody did, but I have since learned that this is not common.  She told me that she believed I had mediumship abilities and that she could help me with this.  How could I turn down an opportunity like that?

That night several things happened to me to remind me why I didn't want to communicate with "ghosts." My husband was out of town so I was already nervous about sleeping alone.  I don't know why I feel this way but he's like my security blanket.  Anyway, I went down to a utility closet in the basement and as I entered I saw a flash of movement behind me and to the left.  Then I paused and thought "child girl."  I thought hmmm I think I will leave the basement now!

As I was getting my daughters ready for bed that night I was taking care of my toddler while my seven year old was in her room.  My seven year old comes to me and says, "Mommy I heard a sound.  It sounded like a child but I know it wasn't my sister."  Now I am freaking out even more...my daughter didn't give me any other details and she couldn't imitate the sound.  I decided to drop the subject so my daughter wouldn't be afraid as well.

Later on the same night, I was journaling and I heard an exhalation.  I stopped writing and knew it was the same spirit I saw earlier and that my daughter heard.  Needless to say I slept with the light on that night!  I also emailed  Joy with my concerns.  She told me I can learn how to turn off the communication at will.

During my first mediumship class with Joy, I connected with three departed souls.  The last soul I connected with was a little blond girl around the age of seven named Mary.  Joy guided me to ask her questions, like how did she die?  When I received an answer, it wasn't like I heard it.  It's more like I "know" the answer with my thoughts or I would see an image and describe the image.  I was not unfamiliar with this because I experienced this "knowing" when I did the past life regression (see second blog post). She communicated that she died in an accidental drowning in Goose Creek in Leesburg, VA.  This location is not far from my house.  So I determined that she must be the spirit that was visiting my house!  I asked out loud and to Joy that I didn't sense her being stuck here.  And Joy felt she was just a spirit that liked to visit.  I also "knew" that she liked to visit and she especially liked my older daughter.  She seem to be attached to me as well.  I suddenly knew that this spirit and I had a past life connection, I was actually her mother in a past life!

A day later I had another realization.  Last fall I had a physic reading with Dennis Jackson over the telephone.  He asked me if I had three children.  I told him I had only two.  He said that there was a third soul waiting to be born to me.  He said it didn't have to happen because we have free will.  I just felt touched there was another soul who wanted to be born as my child.  But I definitely don't want to have anymore children.

I now know that this third child is Mary.  This is the wonderful thing about the spirit world.  It's like putting the puzzle pieces together.  The Divine leaves little clues around until you figure it out.
