"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." William James 1842-1910
My own inward journey began with my early religious schooling. I later entered the convent where I began my lifelong practice of meditation. After leaving the convent, I explored my spiritual path by studying Eastern philosophies.
In the past 25 years, I have run the light where and when I have been called to –traveling to such areas as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand to help others. To further my own spiritual growth, I met with psychics and healers around the globe and have spent a life time learning from seekers from every culture on what and how they "see". Whether they were clairvoyant, clairaudient or clairsentience, their individual gifts were colored by culture and all used their own unique methodology to heal. My travels included studying in the West Indies with an Obeah Man on the island of St. Vincent. I also spent time in Haiti with the locals, where I observed an authentic voodoo ceremony at Cap Haitian and saw the transformation of an ordinary person as the Loa or Spirit inhabited their body.
I have shared "exchanges" with psychics, astrologers and healers, using translators in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Mexico, Bali and Mumbai. I also traveled as a presenter, participating in Sacred Tours with Power Places of California. Our most notable trip was to Bali, where I experienced first hand a renowned Balinese shaman and psychic. More recently, I traveled to the Middle East and Europe to examine the beliefs of Islamic culture concerning the paranormal and developed a kinship with those in Jordon, United Arab Emirates and Egypt. I have also spent considerable time in Europe and especially love visiting Ireland and France. In the new millennium, I was led to Polynesia, the South Pacific Islands and on to Australia and New Zealand, studying the "Dreamtime" of the aborigines. In 2008, I visited Vietnam and Cambodia. In 2009 my son Barry and I visited Egypt and the Greek islands again.
My life has been filled with multi-cultural experiential learning and it has honed my skills in the same manner as my previous career in the legal profession. Discipline was required of me to read legal theories, case after case, and then summarize them quickly and articulate the core issues of each case - just as I do for each psyche I read. Through my own dreams and Jungian shadow work, I have learned to understand and honor my gifts and it is a pleasure to share these gifts with you.
