Carol's Reflections
"First
of all I am a Pisces sun sign. Pisces, the
12th sign of the zodiac is associated with
the subconscious mind and deep intuitive senses
more than any of the other signs. Pisces sun
signs make natural mediums and psychics. Although
many sun signs are extremely psychic, the
sensitivity of the Pisces makes tuning in
with spirit a
little easier.
Because
I always felt somewhat different and very
sensitive to the unseen mysteries of life,
I was aware at a very young age there was
so much more to this material world than we
can see with our visual eyes. Strange and
prophetic dreams were constant. I instinctively
knew that we live many lifetimes, and that
we are in reality, a spiritual being encased
in a physical shell, although my young mind
couldn't form this concept into words at the
time. Moreover, I was afraid within my family
unit, of being different and ridiculed, so
I kept much of what I was sensing and perceiving
as truth, to myself.
When
I began this journey into the unknown many
years ago, there were few training facilities.
And truthfully, I was a little afraid to explore
and develop my gifts. Putting my trepidation
aside, I began my journey at the Berkeley
Psychic Institute in Berkeley, California.
It was a long way to go, across the bridge
to the East Bay from my home town in Palo
Alto, but I persevered. During those years
I also began studying astrology, about the
angelic realms, how to contact my spirit guides,
and uncovering my past lives. I read every
book available at the time and practiced as
much as I could...on anyone and everyone!
As I continued to grow and expand my knowledge,
paranormal events were happening at an accelerated
rate in my life.
I moved to Arizona in the early eighties and
met my first real mentor. She informed me
that I would soon be doing intuitive counseling
just as she was. I distinctly remember telling
her, " This is just a side interest of
mine and I think you must be mistaken."
But, she insisted that I too would be doing
readings for others. As it turns out, I have
counseled hundreds and hundreds of people
and, worked in most facets of the intuitive
arts field. This, coupled with a career in
the airlines, the corporate arena, and teaching
the intuitive arts, has kept me extremely
busy and I love it!
It
took me a long time to learn about what I
was seeing and feeling in the psychic realm
and I had . In the 1970s I was compelled
to learn everything I could about psychic
abilities, mediumship, energy, spiritual philosophy,
and different types of divination. I eventually
became confident enough to give readings with
the urging and support of my first mentor.
I
was first asked to teach in 1984 where there
were few real venues of study for psychic
and mediumship development in Phoenix, Arizona.
I put all my studies and experiences together
and created courses which would enable people
to open their minds to accepting what they
were already experiencing, to learn to trust
their own intuitive feelings, and to offer
solid explanations of why and how psychic
phenomena exists.
My
teaching goals and philosophies have remained
consistent; to allow the student to discover
their own inner strengths and weaknesses and
support them along their pathway of inner
development. More importantly, that they can
find a a creative expression of their spiritual
life within the physical three dimensional
world. I also believe in letting the student
use their own methods of working with me providing
the guidelines and information. My goal is
not to change inborn abilities unique to each
person, but to enhance what they have and
provide doors of discovery for abilities they
don't know they have.
What
I have found in this fascinating journey into
the inner realms, is a new way of living and
thinking. I have been able to experience life
and its mysteries to its fullest and find
wonder in all there is. The inner expansion
and healing as result has been a phenomenal
gift. And, I truly believe those individuals
willing to explore and increase their potential
like I did, have the opportunity to live a
wonderfully enriched life by drawing from
the limitless supply of amazing graces we've
all
been given."
