INTRODUCTION

This book alludes to the soul-awakening and transformational journey into self-enlightenment of an empath, a transition from the ordinary to the extraordinary—coming into greatness. In part, it is the essence of my spiritual soul awakening, my transformational journey as an empath into self-enlightenment. A teaching guide and gift to you, the new and seasoned empath. My role and responsibilities are to bring you to rise to this level of enlightenment. Along the way, I will share with you some of my personal experiences—the traumas, challenges, inner battle with the shadow self, fears, loneliness, and confusion I experienced throughout my awakening journey. The feeling of alienation that kept me from seeing my own greatness and from showing the world who I truly am.

Everything felt muddled until the day of my spiritual awakening, where everything became clear, and comprehension finally set in. My gift is to help you on your journey of self-healing and self-discovery while bringing you to a place of self-enlightenment and higher consciousness. If I can help just one of you through your spiritual ordeal, growth, and evolution, I have done my job well. You are perfectly special and unique despite the circumstances you have already gone through in this lifetime. I am here to help unlock the door to your soul, share with you what helped me along my own unique journey, bringing the answers you are searching for.

The moment your spiritual awakening unfolds, the truth will be revealed of your own uniqueness and greatness. This event will be the beginning of your mastery journey into enlightenment. You will slowly learn to accept your new status as an empath, learning to transition into this unknown world with love and grace while recognizing and remembering who you are. You will be taught the power of the universe within and all around you, giving you permission to allow your mind and heart to open to its wisdom. You will easily and freely move toward everything you have been searching for your whole life while affirming your inner magic.

By all means, this is my experience and not yours; however, you may find similarities in your own life experiences. This book does not only focus on some of my growing experiences but will also help you gain the wisdom to challenge yours, releasing your past in the process. I have worked long and hard to gain the clarity and wisdom attained. I want you to reach deeply within and, with courage and strength, bring you to that place of self-enlightenment. I also want you to own it! You are worth every small act of kindness toward yourself while completely healing your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wounds, acquired during this lifetime.

Do not let a few bumps on the road of your spiritual awakening journey stop you from reaching your full potential and attaining your greatness. When you came into this world, you were already born of greatness. However, through life experiences, you got lost in the emotional state, blurring your soul and forgetting who you are. It is time to wake up. Remember, you are a being of light on this earth, not in separateness, in full glory, attached to universal knowledge, wisdom, love, and light.

It is time to give yourself permission to reach for the stars. Give yourself the gift of gentleness and self-love along the way to your own stardom. You are allowed to dream beyond your wildest dreams while honoring yourself through the path of your soul’s journey.

In the upcoming chapters, I will share what helped me along the way, how I was able to conquer and attain spiritual evolution and growth in the process. You may feel a connection to your own spiritual journey or life experiences as well—a challenging, powerful journey of working with the inner and outer self that helped me find my own voice of truth, authenticity, and compassion, bringing me to my true, encompassed light. The soul awakened, and a calling to answer it was being shown. I needed to be aligned with its purpose and life’s mission. When attained, the soul was joyfully in acceptance, and the status of achievement and triumph was reached, helping me soar to new heights vibrationally and spiritually.

Through this spiritual awakening, a good part of my life and ego were being released, revamped, reconstructed, and reprogrammed. When I was maneuvering through these difficult experiences, I sometimes interpreted these as ongoing curses, yet somehow felt like blessings at the same time. This is not uncommon while many blessings are revealed as rewards through humanitarian service. Many blessings I have received, even when thriving through my emotional growth and healing. It brought me to reconnect at a deeper level to Source. In the end, the grace of coming into more universal love and light was a true blessing.

The ego is strong and powerful. It doesn’t fare well with the incoming light, but it is a journey of spiritual experiences. Who doesn’t want to be free of pain and suffering, releasing a turbulent past while healing heart and soul? This precious self-gift is sacred, resulting in utter disbelief as to where you are being brought. Empaths also need to go through these elements of grandiosity to help clients heal, gaining the status of mentorship and healer. How can an empath help clients when they have not walked in the other person’s shoes?

Healing techniques, tips, tools, and exercises I will share with you, the flowering empath, to help reach self-enlightenment. Also, I will help you navigate through your own fears, insecurities, transitions, and transformations while attaining self-empowerment, sharing self-healing tools such as Reiki and forgiveness while cultivating faith and trust; connecting you to your spiritual guides; engaging in a partnership based on trust, love, support, and devotion; helping you expand and develop existent and nonexistent spiritual gifts. I will help you how to access these bestowed spiritual gifs from past lifetimes, transferring these into this lifetime and enhancing your existent spiritual gifts.

I use a special guided channeled spiritual visual technique to help release memories caught in the cellular system, causing an imbalance and misalignment in the mind, body, and spirit, memories accumulated in this lifetime, as well as past lifetimes, going back to the first memory cell. The healing transformations are phenomenal, efficient, instant, and permanent, bringing a connection of self-awareness to another heightened vibration and frequency at the soul and higher consciousness level. This technique is used in my individual and group sessions. It is a very powerful tool, releasing and healing, traumas, issues, situations, and relationships, giving yourself permission to step into your new life and creating new possibilities and opportunities on your path. Details of this technique will be shared in the book.

As an empath, I feel your anxiety and fear of going back to open doors filled with traumatic memories and unhealed wounds. I feel your tiredness, exhaustion, traumas, toxic relationships, hurt feelings, and unresolved issues weighing you down. You are too caught up in your own stories to see your inner beauty. The outlook of your future is looking bleak, unwelcoming, and depressing. Stay with me. I promise you this will not be painful or dramatic. It will be therapeutic and healing for all of us—yes, myself included! Think of me as your personal cheerleader, here to help you surmount each step of your awakening journey with confidence, faith, love, and grace.

If you are holding this book in your hand, you are prepared to dig deep within. You already possess the courage and strength needed to make the necessary transformational adjustments while attaining self-empowerment and enlightenment. Your soul is ready and fully committed to your self-healing. Time to choose love, forgiveness, respect, and inner peace. Look forward to a future mirrored with confidence, inner joy, happiness, self-love, and self-respect.

You are here before me, needing to know someone has heard your cry for help, searching for understanding, confirming you are not crazy, that what you are going through is real. I helped many find their way home, aligning them with their true purpose and life mission. I can do the same for you. Stay open and centered. Let me guide you to release your past and embrace a future filled with magical possibilities and opportunities.

Writing has always been a secret passion. Drawn to share a part of myself with the world, I have always personally known I would one day pursue my enthusiasm for writing books. From an early age, my dream was to write love stories, bringing joy, inspiration, and dreams of faraway lands and of something better beyond the readers’ imagination.

For the longest time, books were my sanctuary, filling an inner void and helping me escape into a world of fantasies and mysteries. I am still attracted to these kinds of books; however, nowadays, I search for books that are related to my work—books on energy, healing, mediumship, and inspirational spiritual books that can help me grow and evolve at the soul level. It is my turn to bring you channeled inspirational messages of hope and love while guiding you to the whispers of your soul’s desires.

Wherever you are in the world, allow the universe to bring you the abundance it has in store for you that you truly deserve. My wish is that this book brings you what you are searching for. It has been created in a safe and secure environment to help you heal, grow, and evolve. I have so much faith in you and your abilities. Thank you for your confidence in me. I feel honored and blessed, to be the one accompanying you on your spiritual awakening path. My deepest wish is for you to reach your full potential, bringing you to a higher level of consciousness. You are ready to journey into self-love. It is time to create and manifest the life you so deserve.

CHAPTER 1

HOW I FELT DIFFERENT AS

A CHILD GROWING UP

The Light Within

I truly believe we forget who we are at birth, leaving behind our power, knowledge, wisdom, and unconditional love, needing to relearn everything. From a very early age, I knew things, information and teachings that I’d never seen or heard before. I can’t recall the specifics, as it was so long ago; however, from time to time, inklings of inner knowing kept resurging to the surface.

I can also recall having serious adult conversations with the angelic realm. Questions were asked, and answers kept pouring in. Through bouts of hurt and sadness, I retreated to this sanctuary of love. Here I felt, safe, loved, surrounded, and supported, my home away from home. When I would hang on too tightly to this place, I would be brought back into reality quite quickly.

As an old soul, I journeyed on this earth numerous times. In each of these lifetimes, I gained wisdom, knowledge, love, and light, stored in the cellular memories of my soul. So of course, the familiarity of speaking with the angelic realm feels natural to me.

I came into this world, taking on a small statuesque body; I always felt the need to hide, not be heard or noticed. I understood that some people were loved and some weren’t, as I saw others being treated differently around me. I felt my inner light, yet I realized it was sometimes attached to harsh consequences. I learned to hide it to survive. Life had a way of showing me that I shouldn’t speak, so I stopped revealing myself.

Often, people were blinded by my inner light; and through their own inner pain and suffering, they retaliated through anger, frustration, and bad behavior. I was born of unconditional love, and these retaliations were uncomprehensive. Their volatilities left me feeling rejected and abandoned. To no fault of their own, they were not aware of the trigger or inner reaction my light was causing. My heart full of love was showing them, in turn, their heart out of love—their own lack of self-love.

When people in our environment are not at our level of vibration and frequency, they cannot communicate at our level. Not intentionally, they automatically bring down our level of vibration and frequency down to theirs as they cannot reach ours. There is a need to learn how to navigate between these different levels of vibration and frequency without compromising or diminishing our inner light. If the relationship becomes too heavy on the soul, there may be a need to consider leaving and moving forward, acknowledging that life lessons have been learned, silently thanking them, and releasing the relationship with love.

My First Angelic Encounter

My first real memory of an angelic encounter is from around the age of five. I remember becoming extremely ill and having a high fever. I see and feel my parents and doctor scrambling to figure out what is wrong with me. I feel their love of wanting me to get better. The memory that stands out the most is the conversation I am having with the angelic realm. I am begging to be taken home where I feel I belong; hence, why I am so sick: I just want to die. I hear the gentleness and love in their voices, saying, It is not the right time. You have something special to accomplish on earth and you must stay. I feel the devastation and hurt of not being able to leave.

Suddenly, I feel God’s hand stroking my forehead, lovingly speaking to me, encouraging me to stay. He assures me that I am blessed, loved, and supported by the angelic realm, and that I have the courage, strength, and determination to stay and face this harsh world. Even though I know it is surmounted with hate, anger, jealousy, and greed, I am being told and shown how my role on earth is very important. My purpose is to help change people’s lives, bringing and sharing my love and light into the world. I am needed more than I realize, understanding the need to stay. Reluctantly, I come back, fully aware and knowing that I have a hard life ahead of me with many painful experiences awaiting on my future path. I understand I am here for something far grander than I can even imagine, that I am part of a divine plan that has not yet been unveiled.

Sensitivities

I often wondered where I came from when growing up, as it felt like I was either from another world, a different planet, or was adopted. Most empaths will tell you they feel the same way—the feeling of not belonging, of living among strangers, as though we are speaking a different language. Somehow, we all look the same, yet we do not seem to have anything in common. Many times, I felt like an impostor, estranged, separated, and singled out. Mostly, I felt unheard, unseen, misunderstood, unwelcomed, and unaccepted. These were overwhelming periods, filled with bouts of loneliness and uncontrollable sadness.

As with other empaths, I also carry an internal antenna, picking up on everyone’s energies, feelings, and emotions. This
