My Education & History of “Sight”
The first thing that most people ask me is, “Were you born psychic or was it learned?” The answer is both. Before I was seven years old I had vivid past life memories of being a Native American Indian. These memories were so real that I could almost feel and touch them. I had memories that I could not explain of the desert, cactus, horses and my tribe. These ‘pictures’ were like nothing I had ever experienced this lifetime. I felt a real sense of community, belonging and working together as a large family. I knew the land so well in this old experience that I could look down at a rock or a plant from my horse and know exactly where I was.
But when I was young I grew up in New York City and I had never even seen or experienced a desert! I had a terrible sense of direction and was always lost in one way or another. When I was 17 years old my parents gave me the gift of a lifetime. They flew me from California, where we later moved, to Arizona to have a reading by a famous channeler named Ann Puryear. She and I had never met before and I had not said anything to her about myself except for my name. Ann went into a meditative state and told me that I had been part of the Apache tribe in a past life. I couldn’t believe it and yet I already knew it to be true! It explained so much and brought so much clarity to my life!
Years later in my 20’s, I was driving through New Mexico and Arizona which I deeply resonated with. I stopped into a tourist gas station and picked up a card with a picture of an Indian on it. Much to my surprise on the back it said, “Arizona and New Mexico, home of the Apache Indians.” If there are any hairs on my back I’m sure they stood up. I was home again! This explained my deep love for the area and why I later moved to the desert in Sedona, Arizona. It was to reclaim my old ways that I so cherished and missed, as well as to let them go.
Another lifetime that I could remember was being a knight. The part that I can still feel and actually hear is the sound of my horses hooves clopping on the hard cobblestone street late at night while entering the fortress. I was tired, sweaty and hungry but full of pride and duty. I also remember fighting in bloody battles and risking my life on a daily basis to honor my King. And then, unfortunately, the memory of betrayal when my King turned on me, and with a mere wave of his hand, I was dead. I felt so used and expendable and that my life and duty had been a waste. This has left difficult feelings of mistrust within my soul for me to deal with this life time. When I was younger I used to talk a lot about loyalty and how important it was to me. Then, time and time again I would get burned by people who were loyal to themselves but not necessarily to me or “us”. This is how I finally learned one of the most important lessons ever; that I must always be loyal first and foremost to my Self and inner “God”. I’m still learning this as are most of us. I love the part on the airplane when they say, “Please put on your oxygen mask first and then assist your child.” Isn’t this the true story of how to live life? If we can’t care for and live for our selves first, then who can we save?
Some people say that there is not much value in knowing one’s past lives, but I do not find this to be true. In fact, when Ann Puryear read my past lives, it cleared up my life in ways that I could not even attempt to describe. Not only did she say that I was Apache, she also said that I had been a knight. The past life reading verified what I already knew to be true and brought so much clarity as to why I am the way I am. When I was little living in New York City I was so quiet and tough and would often get into fights after school! I was TERRIBLE at expressing my feelings and didn’t even know what my feelings were. It makes sense that I came from a history of warriors and battle.
Ann also said that I had several lifetimes in Italy, which is where I had chosen to spend my junior year abroad before I had the reading! I also had been a translator in Rome and worked with the traders coming in from foreign lands. Apparently I could learn languages in a matter of days or weeks! This might explain my love for languages, travel and the fact that this lifetime I speak English, Spanish, Italian, French, a little Japanese and sign language!
So to answer the initial question, I was born with psychic ability, as we all are, but these skills were not developed until I began my many years of energy training when I was in my 30’s. When I found out that there were actually schools that taught clairvoyance and energy healing I was excited beyond belief. I dove in with full gusto and have yet come out! When I graduated from the following schools, I opened my own school in 2000 called The Sage School of Light. I continue to teach workshops today in Maui where I live, and in the continental US. What I like to share with people is the ease and joy in learning how to read and heal energy. It is a highly valuable skill in life and one that anyone with interest can learn.
One of the ways that I developed my Medical Intuition was by reading people’s energy clairvoyantly while I was treating them with body work. People were thrilled that I could see the causes and cures of their knee or back pain as they were receiving a massage! This started my life long quest of understanding and communicating the causes and cures of dis-ease!
