My Story

I had my first Spiritual Awakening when I walked into a packed Cathedral in Montserrat, Spain. The choir sounded majestic, which started to move me in some emotional way. It felt like there was an energy got activated within and was starting to rise upwards from my waist. I heard someone behind me saying to another, “look, there is the Black Madonna, over there,” a carved wooden statue of a seated Mary with Jesus as a child sitting on her lap. As I was looking trying to locate the figure the energy inside was getting stronger like it was filling me up inside and I started to feel euphoric in a way I had never experienced before. I saw the figure on the far side of the Cathedral where the lighting was fairly dim.

For the next 10 to 15 minutes the energy was like trying to expand outside of my body as if it was seeking unity to something larger, then it gradually subsided as we had to make our way towards the exit for other people waiting to enter. It is difficult to articulate into words exactly what I felt during this brief moment in time. In Hinduism this kind of experience is called a Kundalini Awakening, but I wasn’t aware of this until many years later. My visit to Spain was in 1983 or 1984, I was either 18/19 years of age.

There are many places around the World where there is a build up and storing of energy in the very fabric of the ground and buildings where worship and devotional practices take place, many people can feel ‘something’ when they enter such sacred spots.

When I was in my early to mid 20’s I had a few more personal experiences that taught me there was more to my life than just the physical aspect of it, which included the material world. This time it led me on a quest to find out more information about the Spiritual side of life.

Through contacts, I got hold of a phone number of a Spiritualist gentleman who was a Medium, he assured me that my experiences were normal to people like himself who had been opened to a Spiritual reality, he also gave me Spiritual Healing. I read a few books on spiritual topics and it felt like my attention was being drawn to the practice of Spiritual Healing. I had an inner knowing that I was capable of being a channel for these Healing energies. I then came across a magazine named Kindred Spirit and read an article about Reiki, I immediately knew I had found a first step to what I was searching for. I saw an advert in that magazine from a business which was offering courses teaching people how to become a Reiki practitioner, and that was it, did the courses and became attuned in Reiki in 1995.

For the next year or so I joined a private group who were practicing Reiki healing on each other, that group got disbanded. After that I then became a member of the H.H.A. (Holistic Healers Association) and trained in the practice of Spiritual Healing. I then joined a Spiritualist group where they had an open door policy for the general public, anybody that wanted to experience a treatment for free were welcomed in, multiple times if they wanted to come back, many did!

As time went on work commitments and earning a living as an interior decorator reduced a lot of my free time so I had to give up attending those meetings.

After several months I felt an inner urge to channel healing energy again, so I became a member of the I.S.F. (International Spiritualist Federation) and trained and practiced with those. I also went on a few courses at Hafan Y Coed, Abercraf in the 1990’s – it was a fairly well renowned Spiritual Teaching and learning establishment.

I have also learnt how to do natural Energy/Magnetic healing, a self taught practice where one is able to give some of one’s own energy to a client – this works best if there is a good resonance between healer and client, e.g. same likes in food, music etc., and it can only be transferred and accepted if that client wants it.

For the last several years I have mainly practiced and channelled Distant/Absent Healing to people who I know, and many more whom I do not.
