Enlightenment in middle age

Patience is the companion of wisdom

Human senses have limited range. Although we often forget this fact, we have partial sight, partial hearing, partial smell etc. If a dog can hear a far greater range of sound than a human, then the unknown to us must be vast. For most of my life I never really stopped to consider this. I always held a belief that there is a greater power but never really went looking for it. I never really connected with the Church community and spirituality just seemed too scary and “out there” for me. I started to feel a spiritual connection through reiki, and having now seen my spirit guide in the mirror, I wanted to know more.

Without expectation, I tried to let go and embrace my session with Nicci, a local clairvoyant. As I spoke with her on the phone she instantly knew my spirit guide is a monk, without me saying anything. She sensed Tibet. I knew I had to see her.

My inner sceptic prevented me sharing anything else with Nicci before the session, but I soon needed no reassurance that she was conveying signs from spirit in abundance. My Grandfather’s watch, gifted to me just weeks before. My grandparents wanting to be with me when I was stuck in a period of depression. Grandad’s little reminder to “be practical” with my planned move away from the corporate world and on to my spiritual pathway (I can hear him saying that right now). My Grandma sharing with me that “it’s different in spirit”, where there is freedom from judgement and liberation from peoples’ differences – something that meant a great deal to me.

“We’ve been waiting for you” was the message from my spirit guide. Blimey they must have been bored watching me throw all my energy into corporate real estate for the last 25 years. I’m genuinely grateful they stuck it out.

I’m writing this blog as a reminder to myself of the words received through Nicci, a most extraordinary medium who is as kind as she is perceptive, in the knowledge I can always revisit this whenever feelings of uncertainty, angst or fear arise in me, as they inevitably will.

“Don’t seek him out” must have been a polite message from spirit after I had returned in front of the mirror and asked my spirit guide his name! “He will find you and he’s not here to preach, rather to guide and support you. Relax and follow the path. Let your creativeness flow.”

Creativity featured a little in my childhood – I played the piano for years and as a young child had an interest in drawing. But somewhere in my teens all that stopped and life as I have known it took over. “The pen will guide you” I took to mean I should try automatic writing, but my efforts with this so far haven’t borne fruit. Maybe this is for tomorrow.

“Don’t let your ego get in the way as it shuts God out.” I can laugh about this now but this message offended me as I always felt my ego was in check, until that is I looked a little deeper. I guess like many people, I am often in denial of it.

Painful and difficult past lives were mentioned, something that has created much caution in my current life, but I must not be scared as the light is with me and new friends will be with me. It’s time to let go of my low mood and my feelings of detachment, and venture out from isolation. Meditate and be with my energy, share the love I have to give and trust my intuition…

Thank you Nicci, thank you Spirit x
