Embracing My Gift: The Autobiography of a Psychic Medium

By Laura Frances Dawson

Psychic medium Frances Camilleri was born with a special gift that allows her to see and communicate with spirits everywhere. As a child, this ability confused her; she couldnt understand why no one else could see her special spirit friends. Now she helps others come to terms with their grief by connecting them with lost loved ones.

But as she grew, so did her understanding of what her gift meantand how she could use it to help others. Now, for the first time, she tells the incredible story of her life. Coming to terms with the powers she possessed and how to use them responsibly was a challenge but one she has mastered. For a young girl with these gifts, school days were sometimes a nightmare, but she found a way to learn from these lessons.

When her family moved into what they thought would be a safe haven, she soon realized that the home was haunted by malevolent spirits who eventually ran the family off. From that experience, Frances learned how to use her abilities to cleanse housesand she now teaches others how to protect their homes and families in this way.

The negative experiences in her life inspired Frances to study parapsychology and spiritual healing methods such as Reiki. By channelling guidance from spirit guides, she is able to give direction to others helping with many of the life issues we all face.

PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

And where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may

Not so much seek to be consoled,

As to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

COMFORT THE BEREAVED

When earthbound days are done and loved ones go beyond,

Sometimes our Lord’s promise for eternal life is hidden

In grief and loneliness and strife,

But a sympathetic nod, a note that says, I care,

A gesture or a hand to hold,

Will lift clouds of despair.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice

And weep with them that weep.

ROMANS 12:15

Sister Jemma: A big thank you to the first inspiration Healer I met at such a young age. I will never forget the amazingly beautiful all loving feeling that enveloped me when I walked into her bedroom as she was bedridden. That feeling is still with me today.

Frank The Healer: He lived on the same island in Gozo, Malta as our family; he lived in a very small simple house. He never accepted money for his healings, only provisions. My first experience of his healing was when I was about six and my brother Frank had broken his arm and my father took him to Frank the Healer. All he did was use a big statue of Our Lady. He took my brother in front of Our Lady and touched his hands—he was praying and was in a Trance whilst doing this. Within fifteen minutes his arm which had been hanging down loosely from his shoulder in agony had healed. My brother walked out of there as if nothing had happened to his arm.

My Parents Maria and Michael: I thank them both for being food role models and for bringing us up and for being able to teach us about love, faith and true altruism towards others.

My Brother Frank: I thank my big brother Frank for all that he did to assist my parents and my family with love and devotion.

Sister Mary: I thank her as she believed in me and was a good Mentor to me.

Dr Wayne Dyer: I thank you for all the wonderful inspirational books, CD’S, DVD’s that have helped me so much in overcoming adversity. A big thank you for when I met you I’ll never forget the big hug and kiss you gave me.

A New Adventure

Living in Malta

My memories of early childhood living in Gozo, Malta were very happy. Two doors from my house was my favourite park which I loved to play in, laying down in the long grass and running free, feeling wind on my face until I exhausted myself. I would lie down in the tall grass and it would envelope me in a protective way and I would listen to the spirits communicating with me. I was always eager to get back to the park and as soon as I walked in, I always had a sense and feeling of safety and belonging. Rain, hail or shine I always went there to spend time looking up through the tall grass and smelling the strong scents of my favourite flowers like Jasmine and Daffodils. I never wanted anybody else around me when I was experiencing my special time and space.

The park would close at 6pm and then three bells would sound to warn everyone to leave before the gates were locked up for the night. I would just ignore the bells and stay by myself with my spirit friends in the park. They would tell me when it was time to leave and go home. Dinner was served at our house around that time. Of course, I would always be the last one in to our house for dinner. One day my mother caught me squeezing myself through the metal bars of the fence. Mum was not impressed and I was punished for it but of course it didn’t stop me from doing it again.

In Malta, I enjoyed lots of friends. I was treated like an older, wiser person by my same age friends. We use to ride our bikes everywhere, get into lots of mischief but not too naughty. My best friend was Antoinette who was born in America and of course my mother and her mother both named Maria were old childhood friends themselves. When Antoinette was very young her parents separated and her mother and Antoinette come back to Malta to live. We did everything together especially summer vacation.

My Aunty owned a small holiday shack at Marsalforn on the beach, not far away from our family home. Everybody referred to it as the Summer House. This was where we spent most of our idyllic, long and very hot summer vacations. Most of the inhabitants of the island would go there for summer fun. All the children enjoyed playing together. Activities were competitive fun races, swimming, scuba diving and snorkelling. Diving to collect Sea Urchins & Oysters was a favourite pastime as they were considered a real delicacy in Malta. Adults supervised the children at all times whilst collecting them. The only other
