My spiritual path began when I choose to incarnate into my physical body. As a young child I felt deeply connected to nature and plant spirits. I can remember at four years old when my family took me out west to Mesa Verde National Park. The land felt like it was talking to me. For being such a young child my memory is still strong of that day and the feeling of being connected to everything. For me that was the start of many awakenings to come in my journey called life. As I began to grow, there was a growing sense within me; I knew I had great purpose for being here on the Earth. When I was about eight I can remember sitting in our family garden touching and talking to the plants. Before I would enter the garden I would remove my shoes, just to feel the cold earth on my feet. My heart felt connected to a great energy. Today I can relate that experience to a music festival. The artist plays the music giving its energy to those open to hearing it. Then in return we sing and dance in joy giving back to the artist and it moves our souls. When I was twelve years old I received my conformation at a Catholic school. When the Priest came in, he had us all sit in a big circle. He told us to close our eyes and to focus on our breath. Within a moments time everything seemed to stop and all I could hear was my heart beat. As I fell deeper and deeper into this conscious state, I had a vision of a man filled with light holding me in his arms. My body felt light as a feather and I felt like I was awake from a long sleep. When I came back to the room and my body I felt different. Something magical happened!
