Where it began

If I am to write about my experiences then I guess the beginning is as good a place as any to start. I first began to consciously work with my guides around 5 years ago, up until then life was relatively normal. Ok so I worked as a healer with Reiki and flower essences, but compared to what came after that was really mainstream.

For some time I had been told by others that my guides were saying that I wasn't listening to them. I was doing my best! I kept asking them to speak up so I could hear them but nothing. Then one day I discovered that if I held a pen in my and let it write then I could hear them, or at least the pen could.

And so my relationship with them began and I do mean them as I have many, all of whom seem to have very distinct 'jobs' to do or roles to play.

At first I made the mistake of promising that I would work with them 15 minutes a day. I then learnt that they have no sense of time, as it is only us that it has meaning for. So 15 minutes a day turned into 1 hour and then 2 until I learnt that I could say 'stop' and that they wouldn't run away and abandon me.

Now it is more manageable. I 'hear' them in many different ways and am aware of them when they try to get hold of me or catch my attention. I still write with them and have a feeling that at some point they will be talking to me as I blog but for now it is just me, at least I think it is.

I have many journals and as I look back to see what I am to share with you all (I say, hoping that someone, one day, may actually read this), I am sure I will be reminded of a million messages that I have forgotten and need to now be reminded of.
