CAROL'S REFLECTIONS
"First of
all I am a Pisces sun sign. Pisces, the 12th sign of the zodiac
is associated with the subconscious mind and deep intuitive senses
more than any of the other signs. Pisces sun signs make natural
mediums and psychics. Although many sun signs are extremely psychic,
the sensitivity of the Pisces makes tuning in with spirit a
little easier.
Because I always felt somewhat
different and very sensitive to the unseen mysteries of life, I
was aware at a very young age there was so much more to this material
world than we can see with our visual eyes. Strange and prophetic
dreams were constant. I instinctively knew that we live many lifetimes,
and that we are in reality, a spiritual being encased in a physical
shell, although my young mind couldn't form this concept into words
at the time. Moreover, I was afraid within my family unit, of being
different and ridiculed, so I kept much of what I was sensing and
perceiving as truth, to myself.
When I began this journey
into the unknown many years ago, there were few training facilities.
And truthfully, I was a little afraid to explore and develop my
gifts. Putting my trepidation aside, I began my journey at the Berkeley
Psychic Institute in Berkeley, California. It was a long way to
go, across the bridge to the East Bay from my home town in Palo
Alto, but I persevered. During those years I also began studying
astrology, about the angelic realms, how to contact my spirit guides,
and uncovering my past lives. I read every book available at the
time and practiced as much as I could...on anyone and everyone!
As I continued to grow and expand my knowledge, paranormal events
were happening at an accelerated rate in my life.
I moved to Arizona in
the early eighties and met my first real mentor. She informed me
that I would soon be doing intuitive counseling just as she was.
I distinctly remember telling her, " This is just a side interest
of mine and I think you must be mistaken." But, she insisted
that I too would be doing readings for others. As it turns out,
I have counseled hundreds and hundreds of people and, worked
in most facets of the intuitive arts field. This, coupled with a
career in the airlines, the corporate arena, and teaching the
intuitive arts, has kept me extremely busy and I love it!
About My Teaching Philosophy and Techniques
It took me a long time
to learn about what I was seeing and feeling in the psychic realm
and I had . In the 1970s I was compelled to learn everything
I could about psychic abilities, mediumship, energy, spiritual philosophy,
and different types of divination. I eventually became confident
enough to give readings with the urging and support of my first
mentor.
I was first asked to teach
in 1984 where there were few real venues of study for psychic and
mediumship development in Phoenix, Arizona. I put all my studies
and experiences together and created courses which would enable
people to open their minds to accepting what they were already experiencing,
to learn to trust their own intuitive feelings, and to offer solid
explanations of why and how psychic phenomena exists.
My teaching goals and
philosophies have remained consistent; to allow the student to discover
their own inner strengths and weaknesses and support them along
their pathway of inner development. More importantly, that they
can find a a creative expression of their spiritual life within
the physical three dimensional world. I also believe in letting
the student use their own methods of working with me providing the
guidelines and information. My goal is not to change inborn abilities
unique to each person, but to enhance what they have and provide
doors of discovery for abilities they don't know they have.
What I have found in this
fascinating journey into the inner realms, is a new way of living
and thinking. I have been able to experience life and its mysteries
to its fullest and find wonder in all there is. The inner expansion
and healing as result has been a phenomenal gift. And, I truly believe
those individuals willing to explore and increase their potential
like I did, have the opportunity to live a wonderfully enriched
life by drawing from the limitless supply of amazing graces we've
all
been given."
