Meeting My Personality- and Soul Guides with David Wells

One week ago I had never heard of David Wells. I had gone to the library to print something out but I was too early so I hung around the spiritual books section and a book called "David Wells' Complete Guide To Developing Your Psychic Skills" stood out. Although I'm already reading three other books I decided to borrow it.

As soon as I came home I started reading it. It's a really good book where David first explains about his background and how he "became" a medium, and as the title suggests he gives advice on how to develop your psychic skills. There are some excellent guided meditations in there and a lot of other tips on do's and dont's.

A couple of days after I had started reading this book I was sitting here pondering over where my path is taking me and although I get so many messages and signs I still don't know what to do with it all. I was thinking that I need a mentor of some sort. I decided to check out the College of Psychic Studies website to see what they had on offer. Apart from the fact that all courses were already half-way through there was a lecture with... guess who... David Wells. At first it didn't register that I was reading his book. It took a good ten minutes before it hit me.

Anyway, I was in Derby over the weekend at a Mind Body Spirit fair selling my jewellery. In the evening I was shattered and couldn't be bothered to dress up and go out for dinner. Instead I crossed the street from my B&B and ordered a takeaway at the local Chinese. There was a newspaper on the table and as I was flicking through it I got to the horoscopes and... surprise surprise... David Wells writes the horoscopes. Being me I saw that as a sign that I should go to his lecture.

When I called earlier today to book my space I was told that it was sold out. I was really surprised because I was sure that I was going to see him. Well, it turned out that there had been a cancellation and I got a ticket. It was an absolutely excellent evening! David is a great speaker. He's got a good sense of humour and makes his talk very entertaining. He is also very, very knowledgeable. He's been studying Qabala with a Q and not the Kabbalah with a K that Madonna has introduced to the world. Apparently there is a difference.

The two-hour talk was about learning how to contact your spirit guides. We have different types of guides - personality-, soul-, and masters - and David was talking about the difference between these guides and he guided us through two very deep and powerful meditations to meet our personality and soul guides.

I now know that I have two personality guides called Anna and Nicholas. They are fairly young and they were encouraging me to stay on the healing path. My soul guide came through as a dark orange energy field. I did not get a name but was again re-assured that the path I'm on is right although I will be doing different things in the future to what I'm doing now. Watch this space!

It was a wonderful evening and I'm so glad I found David. If he ever comes to your neck of the woods I really recommend that you go and here him speak.

One Way Of Trying To Get Female Company

I've lived in the same building for eons and I know I'm like an old piece of furniture here. Some of my neighbours have been living here for several years too but I'm the longest standing tenant. My landlord should give me a loyalty card!

The other day I heard someone starting the tumble dryer. All tumble dryers in the building are out of order at the moment which is a disgrace in itself. My towels are very rough nowadays from hanging to dry but I try to look at it positively and think it's good for dry scrubbing.

Anyway, I popped my head out to tell the person that the dryer wasn't working since someone had decided to throw my "out of order"-note in the bin. It was my old neighbour from another floor. Many years ago Paul... I've decided to protect his identity and call him Paul because this is his name... ,Sandra and I went for a few drinks. When we got back home Paul invited me to his room for a night cap. After having told me at length about a girl at his work who he really fancied.. as a matter of fact I remember him saying that he knew she was THE ONE although she had a boyfriend.. he made a sweeping arm gesture across his bed and asked if I'd ever tried it before to which I had to say no. I mean, Paul himself knew that I'd never tried his bed before. He then moved on to plant a smacker on my lips!!! That's when I decided it was time to leave!

The next day he was very apologetic and blamed the alcohol. I accepted the apology. No serious harm done.

Since then we've bumped into each other occasionally and we've even been out for a friendly drink once. He's a nice guy but we really don't have much in common.

Imagine my surprise when last night, which was a Saturday evening by the way, I had a call and his name was showing on my mobile phone display. I decided not to answer. So Paul left a message saying: "this is a long shot but I was wondering if you have any milk? I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and I've run out. Don't worry if you're not in or haven't got any I'll run to the garage and buy some". I burst out laughing!!! Seriously Paul, is this the way you ask a woman out?! I'm not stupid. The garage is literally two minutes away and it would probably be quicker for you to run to the garage than for me walking down two flights of stairs with my carton of milk. And then what? Were you going to invite me to join you for a cuppa'? Of course you were.

This is a guy who is nearing 40. I can't help but finding it very odd to call your neighbour on a late'ish Saturday evening and try to lure them downstairs by asking for milk. You seriously need to come up with something better. Like when you asked another female neighbour if she wanted to come into your room and have a look at your Egyptian cotton sheets. Or actually, that didn't work either!

Note: Paul once killed my goldfish but that's a different story.

All Fun And Games Whilst Giving A Massage

Yesterday I was at work giving a client a Kahuna massage when all of a sudden the window opened... from outside... on the second floor!!! I nearly fainted. Luckily my client was so zonked out I don't think she realised what had happened. I quickly covered her up, stuck my hands out from behind the blinds (yeah, luckily there were blinds so at least nobody could look in), and a man's voice said something like uuuhhhh. It turned out that there were building works going on outside but I hadn't really noticed the scaffolding around the house. I certainly hadn't spotted any builders. Anyway, I told the man that I had a client in there and that he had to close the window. He did close the window but guess what? He then started to polish the window sills outside!!! Jeeez, hello!!! I knocked on the window to make him stop. I don't know if it was my frenetic knocking or the fact that he couldn't reach wherever he had to reach with the windows closed but he gave up after a short while. Luckily my client saw the funny side of it and laughed but I'm know for definite not all clients would have found that amusing. It's all fun and games!

Charmed Spirit Autumn News!

A couple of months ago I went to the International Jewellery Trade Show here in London and found an amazing jewellery designer who's pieces goes exactly with my niche. She only uses high-quality semi-precious stones and Sterling silver and many of her designs have a spiritual theme. Her jewellery is being made in India and the handicraft is tops! I bought a few pieces from her at the show to test it on my clients and it wasn't surprising to see how quick they sold. It's particularly the druzy quartz I like but also the semi-precious pendants. I've been waiting and waiting for her to get more of the druzy quartz in stock. Most of the pieces are one-off's so you have to be quick to get what you want. Last week the website was updated and I was quick as a gazelle (hmmm, well... anyway). Here's some of the jewellery I got:

Most of the items are up on my website under Autumn News. Please do pop over and take a look: http://www.charmed-spirit.co.uk/userimages/procart2.htm

I don't know if I've told you but Spirit & Destiny Magazine contacted me a while ago and wanted to feature a couple of my bracelets in their January issue. Both bracelets are made by myself so I was really, really happy when they called. It's now all set in stone, the bracelets have been photographed, the text has been confirmed and I've had the bracelets sent back to me. Now I'm just waiting for the January issue to come out some time at the beginning of December this year. Spirit & Destiny Magazine is the largest spiritual magazine in Britain and they have thousands of readers which means a lot of people will see my jewellery and my website!

The Derby event is not far away either. I'm going there for another Mind Body Spirit event and this one is also called Alternative Christmas Gift Fayre. Here's the programme (Charmed Spirit on page 13) and if you're in Derby on 14-15 November it would be great to see you!

Sharing Some Amazing Experiences From The Healing Share

Yesterday I went to the weekly Healing Share I've been the assistant organiser of for just over a year. This started as a Reiki share and to begin with I wanted to experience giving and receiving Reiki and become more confident as a healer. A year and a bit later I have made some fantastic friends at the share. We are a core group of people who turn up pretty much every week and then there are always a few newcomers or others who don't attend regularly.

A while ago we decided to change the name from Reiki share to Healing share. We now have so many healers attending with different types of healing modalities and it is such a fantastic opportunity to learn about and get a healing session you've never tried before. We have one guy who does re-connective healing, a few people doing Angel healing, someone is attuned to Shamanic healing, then there are several types of Reiki healers - Usui, Tera Mai and Seichem.

The absolutely most amazing thing about this group is that since Mark joined and introduced re-connective healing to us we are being helped by beings from the Pleiades.

I understand that to some people this may seem completely outrageous and that's ok. But I also know that to others this sounds perfectly normal. Before I started going to the Healing share I had never heard of either re-connective healing or the Pleiades. Slowly but surely some of us started to get channeled messages from our Pleiadean friends. I, for instance, can receive messages both at the share and also when I'm practising channeling at home.

Last week I was working with Brett who is attuned to Angelic reiki. I am attuned to Usui. We were practising distance healing and were sitting in front of each other but not facing each other. We've done this exercise before and I have always healed through my third eye. This time, however, I felt my hands getting incredibly hot and then they started to move up and above my head. My arms were stretching so far behind my head that I had to mentally tell my guides that I couldn't physically move them any further back. Both Brett and I experienced a wonderful healing session that evening and when we shared our experiences afterwards it turned out that Brett's hands and arms also had moved up behind his head and we'd performed the same type of healing. Since I've been reading the book about re-connective healing I recognise that this is the type we were performing. My guide, who is female and called Haweba, came through with a channeled message. She told me that due to the energy shift we have experienced in the last couple of months it has been very difficult for them to reach through to me/us. She did give me the positive message telling me that I am here to heal. When I told her I was glad she was back she replied: We have always been here but you haven't felt it.

At yesterday's share Sarah, our lovely organiser, felt guided to ask the group if anyone had any information to share? Mark told us that he'd been listening to a meditation on how to open up the pineal gland and how to take in energy through this gland. This, apparently, plays a huge part in consciousness. Being synchronised with the group I had read the exact same thing that afternoon in a book called "The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life" by Drunvalo Melchizedek.

Sarah was then guided to ask Mark to lead the meditation that evening on this very subject. Mark has never done anything like this before and although he said he didn't feel confident to begin with he gave it a go. He'd only just started guiding us to pay attention to our pineal gland when I started to feel my whole forehead buzzing as if I had flies flying around inside. I've felt my third eye spin in the past but this was different because it was the whole forehead. It was so clearly guided and it felt amazing that we are being helped by a team of beings from a different planetary system who are willing to help us to open up to Oneness and become conscious.

During the actual share I was working with a lady called Louise who is attuned to Usui reiki. I'm not usually a very visual person but during the healing I saw many things such as a large faceted amethyst (which corresponds to the crown chakra/pineal gland), I saw an Egyptian female head of a painting or a statue, I sensed Atlantis and saw a lot of water. When Louise placed her hand above my forehead it started to buzz again and it felt like my third eye was sucking in as much energy as it possible could. I was aware during the treatment but afterwards it felt like I had been travelling very far and deep.

Needless to say the Healing Share has become the most amazing evening of the week. Every time I experience something fantastic but in a new way.

I have also in the past not been very keen on sharing my experiences here on the blog. I think this is mainly because I don't want people to think I'm a complete nutter. It's also felt quite personal. However, lately I'm starting to get the messages to share my experiences and people who are open to this will find my posts interesting and have a sensation of being able to relate. I know it can feel like you are all alone out there but believe me... there are many of us experiencing "the weird and wonderful" right now. I'm very lucky to live in London where there are many groups to attend but for you guys who live in smaller places I can understand that the feeling of being completely on your own can sometimes be a lonely and difficult one.

With this I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today it's my birthday! I am now 18 with 24 years experience and I realise that I should update my profile on Blogger.

I've had a lovely evening drinking cocktails at Souk Medina with my great girlfriends.


Thank you, wonderful ladies, for celebrating my birthday with me and for the lovely cards and presents!

So Many Closing Down Sales To Attend

Yesterday I was at work. I say "was at work" because it was so quiet I can't really say that I "was working". Whilst I was sitting in the reception killing time a client kindly informed me that the Mambo shop was closing down and had a massive sale on. I grabbed my coat, told the receptionists I had to go out in an important errand and headed down to Mambo. Pretty much everything was marked down 70% and although most sizes available were 8 (teeny tiny) or 16 (slightly bigger) I did find a couple of things that fit and I love the colours!!

The Rip Curl top and the Mambo Goddess (love the name) board shorts were £3 each! Fingers crossed that I will be able to afford going on holiday soon!

Today I had to go out and invest in a new pair of Converse. My old pair had a hole in them so big that when it was raining I could just as well have walked down the street wearing just socks on my feet. As I was walking back from the shoe shop I walked past Books etc on Victoria Street and guess what? They're closing down as well. Recession seems to be hitting the retail businesses hard. Their sale was not as good as Mambo's but I'm not one to complain. I found two cookery books with recipes I liked the sound of.

I'm looking forward to try "Sauteed Calamari and Vegetables" and "Linguine with a Spinach & Anchovy Sauce".

Talking about food... in the last few days I've made the simplest yet most fabulous soup. Here's the recipe for one person:

0.5 l vegetable stock
a couple of large or a few more small potatoes
a piece of leek
some white cabbage
a large or a couple of small leaves of Savoy cabbage
2 slices of smoked bacon
a teeny weeny bit of red chili
some garlic
a dash of paprika

Chop everything and boil until the potatoes are soft. Goes really well with a glass of red.

That's it from London town this weekend. Enjoy you're evening!
