One of my earliest memories involving psychic abilities consisted of hearing voices of people I could not see. Were they spirits, angels, or other light beings? I wasn’t sure. But I knew someone else was there. I started talking to these voices and we began having conversations when I was around 4-5 years old. Not so long after, I remember my parents asking me who I was talking to and I was embarrassed. I stopped communicating with these voices and gradually, the voices went away.
During high school, I went through a spiritual awakening. Not so long after, I learned about Reiki, “a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.”1 I decided to study Reiki while in college and became a practitioner and later, a Reiki Master.
Reiki was an expansive tool for it opened many doors for me. It opened me up to receive healing in many forms: emotional, physiological, and spiritual. The process of Reiki attunements also activated my psychic abilities. My clairvoyance was stronger than ever before. I was able to get in touch with my guardian angel, heal past life wounds, and get insight into why some parts of my life had been so painful. Because I was healing these parts of me and I was learning Reiki as a healing method, I was able to help others in their own healing process.
Cookies & Lemonade
During one of my earlier years of practicing Reiki, I was doing a healing session for my boyfriend-at-the-time’s college friend, who was in town. It was the first time I met her. While I was doing Reiki, I told her I saw an image of an older woman who was there to show her love during this healing session. This woman was holding a plate of cookies and a pitcher of what looked like lemonade. The college friend started crying. After the session was over, I asked her why she was crying and she said, “How did you know?” “Know what?” I asked. “My grandmother,” she said, “She used to bake us cookies and have a pitcher of lemonade ready for us whenever we came to visit. She passed away and I never got a chance to say good-bye. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her and how much I appreciated those cookies and drinks she made us.” I’m not sure how I knew, except I just saw it clairvoyantly. These images were appearing in my mind as it was happening.
In other reiki sessions, I was sometimes able to connect with deceased or unborn family members of those I was doing Reiki on… though not all the time. Spirits didn’t always come during Reiki sessions. But when they did, I was able to help bring closure.
I discovered during my teen years that I had the ability to intuitively look into a person’s life by touching their hand and obtain important information. My extended family found out about this and soon, their friends came by asking for readings. I was burnt out early on, but once in a while, my family still asked me for favors to “look” into someone’s future in order to help them solve a problem.
The Donor List
My aunt in LA asked me if I would do a reading for her friend. Her friend’s husband was on the donor list to receive a new liver. His liver was failing and he was barely hanging on. She had heard of a shot treatment in Thailand that was known to extend the life of a patient with liver failure. She asked me if her husband should go. She said he was next up on the donor list, but didn’t know when he would be called. I closed my eyes, looked clairvoyantly, and saw her husband getting a call that he would receive a donor organ as early as March. I told her based on what I saw, it didn’t seem like a good idea to go to Thailand. I told her he would receive a call for a match at least by June. She thanked me for the reading.
Around April of that year, I remember sitting on my computer. I felt a breeze behind me and a psychic tap, like someone was trying to get my attention. I turned around and in my mind’s eye, I saw a man with a mustache. He was wearing a hospital gown. His eyes showed me that he was very sorry. I didn’t know who he was and I was spooked out by this and so I told him to go away. By May, my aunt called me and told me her friend’s husband had passed away. I asked what happened and she said that her friend insisted her husband stay in the states and wait to be called, but he didn’t listen. He traveled to Thailand to get the shot. He received a call while he was at the hospital in Thailand that they had a match for his liver. He was trying to get back to the states on the next plane before they gave the liver away to someone else. In the process, he had a heart attack and passed away. I asked her if her friend’s husband had a mustache. She said he did.
During recent psychic readings, spirits have come by with messages of love and healing for those who are living. It’s been very validating to hear from my friends when these messages are received. Here are some stories from spirits that have approached me either in dream form or in waking life.
Peach Rose
The sister of a friend who passed away showed me a peach rose and said the best way to honor her memory, was to get a dog because she was an animal lover. My friend, who is usually a cat lady, told me she has been having strange inclinations of wanting a dog. She was also getting married and couldn’t decide between her wedding colors being peach and gray or purple and teal. Her sister was giving her input.
Fish in Water
The grandparents of a different friend showed me live fish in water. They had a message of love to give. When I asked my friend what the meant, she said her grandparents were fishermen by trade. When she went to visit them, they would take her to the market to sell their fish. Whatever was left over, they would fry to eat. She said she missed their fried fish meals together.
