Make Me a Channel of your Words

Words from the Author This book has been around ten years in the making and for that I feel I must apologise, but my spirit guides tell me there is nothing to apologise for as time is of no consequence in the realms of spirituality. I welcome anyone, spiritual or non-spiritual to read this book. If you are not a believer in the realms of spirit then please read with an open-mind and an open heart. I came to my spiritual journey late in life: around my mid forties, and knowing what I know now about spirit, they always awaken those who are meant to be awakened with whatever measures are necessary. Up until this point, my life had been fairly successful, on a work level; I had worked my way through teaching and management and was now a head teacher. I take my hat off to anyone who follows this path; it is extremely stressful and all consuming but also can be so rewarding and I thank all of the people who supported me in this part of my life. I believe that many of the lessons I learned during this time of my life, however difficult, have truly helped me become the person I am today. On a family level, I have an amazing, totally understanding partner and two beautiful children, adults now, but always my children. Unfortunately the relationship I had with the father of my children, whom I loved dearly, was destroying all of our lives and I made the extremely difficult decision to walk away from our marriage. In the years after we separated and finally divorced, I was not only in my extremely stressful job but I was also trying to protect my children from their father, who found it very difficult to manage his own life and therefore was not able to give them the love and stability that they needed. I don’t tell you this in the hope of gaining your sympathy; it is a story in a long line of stories that we gather on our Earthly journey. The reason I tell you is, so that I can get to the time in my life when I was truly awakened to the truth of spriitualism and how it can impact on all of our lives.. In 2008, My ex-husband died in very sad circumstances, in fact sad is not a strong enough adjective. The police officer pre-warned me that what he was about to tell me was difficult to say and that therefore, I may find it difficult to take. I still remember clearly to this day my naive response: “You can tell me the whole story, I did my grieving for my husband when we separated all those years ago, nothing you can tell me now will be as bad.” How wrong I was! John died in his bath, fully clothed. We have no idea why he was in the bath although I was told later that sometimes people who are suffering from a heart attack find it the most comfortable place to be. However, we are unsure of the cause of John’s death because the police were called to his flat some days later, when his neighbour reported a terrible smell coming from within. I do not wish to go into the details of this but I tell you to let you know that this event started the journey that I am now on and I thank John, most days, for playing a part in this journey. After the police officer told me the gist of this, I was indeed traumatised and work had to be put on hold for a while. Whilst out for a walk during my time out, I walked past a little shop in my hometown, which was advertising spiritual readings, I was drawn to book one and the rest as they say is history! The gentleman who gave me my reading was amazing, he told me things about John, gave me messages from John; things that only I knew; things about his funeral that, was at that point only in the planning stages and he left me feeling that there must be a huge amount of truth in this spirituality business. A few months later I signed up for the same gentleman’s spiritual development classes and since then I have never looked back. I have come to some abrupt halts and some human traffic jams along the way but my journey is continuing and will continue forever. The first few years of this journey were spent with an amazing group of people, where I became able to channel spirit, to give spiritual healing and to sit in trance, as well as many other insightful adventures in the world of spirit. We met regularly to sit in Circle and it was during this time that I developed the ability to write for spirit. The main spirit to work through me at that time was Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ and it is her story that forms the first part of this book, which was written during my time at ‘the sanctuary’ (the shortened name of the place where I first formed my spiritual friendships both on the Earth plane and beyond). Around 2013, I stopped writing as regularly and life began to change for me on a human level, which of course impacted on my spiritual pathway. I left the place I had thought of as my spiritual home - ‘the sanctuary’ - by this point in my own journey I had experienced some amazing spiritual awakenings but also, I was realising that human ego can and does destroy the spiritual journey. Having reflected on this point in my life, I now know that this is why I left ‘the sanctuary’ and actually took time away from all things spiritual. Now almost 10 years later it is time to reignite the light within. Don’t get me wrong, it has always been there and I have been occasionally allowing myself to be more spiritual again. Now that the light is well and truly back on it is time to ensure that these words are shared with others and that this ‘book’ is finished. So here goes! NB It is worth noting that when I write I actually close my eyes to begin with in order to allow spirit to merge with my energy, if you could see what my writing looks like you would get a true sense of different energies coming through.
