My family life was generally very dysfunctional though and I turned to my ideas about God to escape. I also turned to fantasy through stories and TV. Looking back, my creativity was clearly a source of spiritual strength.

At age 18 I started to explore other avenues such as spiritualism and reiki. I became very ill and started to explore alternative therapies too. In my late twenties my marriage broke down, my child was diagnosed with autism and to cope I started seeing a homeopath who had strong Shamanic/spiritual faith. She recommended the book 'The Power of Now.' It really started from there. I began to meditate and explore the idea of spirits being around us. I dipped in and out of this because I had other stuff in my life that took priority, including motherhood, but this really set the scene for my spiritual development. I have always focussed on the meaning of life and tried to make sense of it all.

I joined this site in 2007 when I was heavily into reiki and spiritual healing. Last year lots of really awful stuff happened and I began to really grow as a human being. I visited two mediums and recieved evidence that we live on after death. I think my Kundalini opened as a result of all this. Last December I had a sudden awakening which left me very psychic. I feel blessed.
