Everyone is psychic.
Yes, even you. Please note that I said "psychic" and NOT "psychotic".
Although there are days when I tend to believe more of the latter than
the former. The key is to not only recognizing and acknowledging your
natural ability but willingly tap
into the divine source as well. I did not realize it; I did not acknowledge it
and I certainly did not come close to tapping into it. I was,
essentially, the poster child for "Psychic Don't Be's" (an homage to all
you Romper Room devotees of days gone by). I ignored my natural state for
so long that it finally had to tap into me. To say it "tap" is a gross
understatement. It repeatedly clobbered me over the head with a series
of rhythmic deafening thuds. That's the best way to get my attention
since the word "subtle" is certainly not in my somewhat
limited vocabulary. It began
innocently enough by a 'chance' reading by renowned medium,
George Anderson in August, 2001. (Click
here for the inspiring details but don't forget to come back! I have
abandonment issues!). What soon followed was awakening my own natural abilities as an automatic writer, channel,
psychic and medium (to name but a few). This new path lead me to extensive training at
The Astrological Institute of Integrated Studies in Port Charlotte,
Florida. It was there, under the guided hands of
Sandy Anastasi and
John Maerz that I truly began to understand, and
embrace, my potential as a psychic medium as well as a spiritual being.
I assure you no one was more surprised than me at the process!
I can look back on
my life and see many instances where my undiscovered psychic abilities
were in full working order. I had a premonition of my grandmother's
death the night before it happened in March of 1973. I often saw and/or
heard her in our house for several years after that. The down side of
this amazing communication was that I was convinced she had returned
from the grave to kill me. (I read a LOT of horror comics as a child...
can you tell?) It did not take long for me to realize the absurdity of
the whole idea. She made it quite clear that she was there simply
watching over me. I can only assume that she has not taken it personally
that I once saw her as the subject of a bad comic book (such as "Grandma
Rises from the Grave").
In 1993, at the urging of a close friend, I visited my first psychic and
spiritual reader,
Donna Sims. I found the subject matter interesting but that was as
far as it went. One of the first things Donna said to me was, "You're
very psychic, Charles. You just haven't learned to tap into it yet."
Then she just sat there smiling knowingly. I blew that generic comment
off with a wave of my hand. "Yea, right!" I scoffed. I can honestly say,
without hesitation, that a Merlot is the best wine to serve with crow.
I have been blessed
to have access to amazing teachers both here in the physical world as
well as in the spiritual. With the devoted aide of my Spirit Guides I am able to
receive, and better understand, a variety of communications from Spirit. I continue to
learn from each and every reading that I am privileged to conduct.
My Blessed Entourage
fully utilize my sense of humor and tilted perspective on life. It is
said that "laughter is the best medicine." I totally agree. I've seen
the miracle of this form of healing countless times. We've all heard the
expression, "I laughed until I cried." I prefer to turn that around. I
say, "I cried until I laughed and when I laughed I understood."
Peace.
