Through the darkness…
In my early twenties, I began sleeping an average of twenty hours a day which provided little reprieve to my waking hours. Yet, I still lacked the energy needed to complete basic tasks on my own.
The diagnosis … severe chronic fatigue. This would become my new normal and I would need to accommodate it as part of my life moving forward, I was informed. As my body became increasingly challenged, I experienced temporary blindness, and this became the catalyst of recurring visions and heightened sensing of energies.
As a child, visions and an innate sense of knowing were ever present. It manifested naturally and positively in many ways in the form of locating missing items for people or helping others with information that ‘came to me’. As a young adult however, I discovered that some of my peers were fearful and even judgmental of this, which led to the conscious shutting down of this part of who I was.
The visions were always positive, yet my fear of this unknown grew, and resisting these experiences only taxed my already-low-energy even more.
After three frustrating years of this new ‘normal’, I was referred to a naturopath who successfully treated me over a twelve-month period. My body was rebalanced, my energy restored, and the virus was removed.
Grateful, could not even begin to describe the joyful opportunity of reclaiming my life and for all the supportive people that walked beside me during this time. I certainly became acutely aware of never taking anything for granted again. After recovering, the intense visions calmed down and I thought I could return to living a normal life… and it was… for a while….
Into the Light…
Meeting Archangel Michael
Towards the end of 1995, I was married with an infant daughter. Life was wonderful. The visions and sensations began again, and this time were stronger, surrounding me in a loving, calm and supportive space. Did I question? Yes…why now? Did I resist? No…there was no fear attached this time, only an amazing sense of peace. This continued through to February 1996, when a routine drive to run errands would completely change my life.
While parked in a local shopping centre car park, my routine of placing my daughter in her stroller was interrupted by a loud masculine voice which said, “Carry her!”
I looked around, but there was no one to be seen. This voice repeated itself with more urgency and I complied. The stroller was placed back into my car.
Walking towards the pedestrian crossing with my daughter on my hip, the roads were lined with parked cars, yet the road itself seemed quiet, with little to no traffic. After checking for oncoming cars, I stepped out onto the crossing. At the midway point, a van pulled out of a side street and came towards us at speed. The driver could not stop in time.
On impact I was thrown down the road, while my daughter was launched in the opposite direction. Unable to move due to my injuries, my main concern was the survival of my daughter, as I was unable to hear her crying.
Fortunately, multiple people from the local medical centre were walking past at that time and were able to assist both myself and my daughter until an ambulance arrived. I was relieved to overhear a conversation between a paramedic and a police officer that
“If the baby was in a stroller, she wouldn’t have survived.”
A deep sense of peace engulfed me. My daughter was alive, and medical staff were on the scene immediately as the accident occurred. On reflection, the timing was surreal and perfect.
On admission to the hospital, the medical staff were surprised to discover the only injury I sustained was a broken femur.
During my recovery in hospital, I was awoken one night by a familiar, peaceful presence – the same feeling I experienced before the accident. A tall, masculine energy introduced himself as Archangel Michael, and I instantly recognised his voice as the one from the carpark. I did not know who or what an Archangel was, but I was about to find out. He enlightened me that we would begin working together.
My first bedside lesson was understanding the role that chronic fatigue played in my life. “Primarily, energy exists everywhere, and everything is energy. It is fundamentally present. Let us explore your journey with chronic fatigue. What does chronic fatigue represent to you?”
My reply was an easy one, “No energy!”
He then asked, “So what were you doing with yours?”
My transition from office manager to rookie was about to begin…
