I was sure that my first mentor possessed some kind of magic; she could go into the Akashic records, give readings, and talk with my spirit guide.
Then I met another woman who talked with Angels and Ascended Masters, and I thought - more magic, more magic!
I was in awe of all this magic, all these miracles, this ability, this intuitive magic.
If only I could be like them.
I wanted magic!
It took some time, but I finally came to the understanding that it wasn’t about being like them but being like me.
I had to let go of the idea of being like anybody.
Hmm… but how? How do I have magic? And if it’s not like theirs, what does my magic look like?
After several months of being in limbo, not knowing what else to do, I decided to follow my heart.
Following My Heart
To my utter astonishment, I found listening to my heart was (and still is) the only way to go.
Following the nudge of my wise heart, I enrolled in hypnosis training—never imagining it would fling wide the door to my intuition.
One day, while doing my self-hypnosis, my head began moving from side to side.
Whoa… I’m not moving my head. Who’s moving my head?
It didn’t stop there.
I found that while hypnotizing clients and taking them deep into their subconscious, I would know what their core issue was long before they were able to get to it.
Next, I began hearing more deeply when just hanging out with folks. I became aware that I could hear below what was being said - the true meaning of someone’s words.
Then I began feeling things like nudges or knowings.
It was the most magical thing!
And to think that it all began with following my heart.
I had been trying so hard to become intuitive, like so many others I admired. But no matter what I did, I simply couldn’t seem to access it.
But when I decided that I'm going to do whatever I'm led to do next, and let go of trying to be like others - I became intuitive, and my intuition steadily grows.
Friend, I’m as grateful as a school girl who put her whole heart into the assignment and landed an A.
Divinely Guided
In hindsight, you know where our 20/20 vision resides; I can see the perfection of my path. I can see and understand that my magic had to progress as I progressed.
I now understand that my burning desire to help people on deep levels meant that my emotional maturity/healing needed to be intact to hold the space for my intuitive healing abilities.
Had my intuitive gifts developed without the grounding of a stable emotional foundation, I truly believe it could have caused harm—not only to myself but to others as well.
Without the inner maturity to hold what I was sensing, I might have misinterpreted messages, projected my own unresolved pain onto others, or spoken from fear rather than clarity.
Intuition without emotional integration can become distorted—what might begin as insight can easily turn into confusion, false certainty, or even manipulation, however unintentional.
Emotional maturity is what refines the gift, turning it into a channel of service rather than a source of distortion.
I’m deeply grateful that my emotional healing unfolded alongside my spiritual gifts—truly, it was Divinely Guided.
Divine Perfection
As I’m writing this post, I can’t help but smile at the Divine perfection of my life.
Thank Heavens, after so much trying, I came to the understanding that when we let go and follow our hearts, Divine Perfection naturally takes place. 💖
We can breathe easily, and we can trust that those acorns-of-desire within our souls (healing, internal gifts, relationships, etc.) will manifest in Divine Perfection if we but follow our hearts.
