My Spiritual Journey: From Muggle to Medium
Early Days at The Arthur Findlay College
My first spiritual development course in my early twenties led me to The Arthur Findlay College in England, affectionately dubbed ‘Hogwarts’ as homage to its mystical aura. As a novice ‘Muggle’ (a term borrowed from Harry Potter for Supernatural Novices), I stepped into this revered institution with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation, eager to embark on a journey into uncharted dimensions.
The stately home exuded a timeless charm. Its expansive gardens, dotted with horses roaming freely, added an ethereal touch to the already spiritual atmosphere. Knowing that Arthur Findlay himself once resided in this manor and dedicated it to the exploration of psychic sciences imbued every corner with a sense of history and purpose. Arthur Findlay’s legacy resonated within the estate and infused the halls with a sacred energy that inspired connection to the spiritual lineage of the building. As I immersed myself in the courses and exercises, I felt proud to be continuing the legacy.
The estate not only provided a physical space for learning and evolution but also served as a catalyst for those seeking to deepen their understanding of psychic phenomena and spirit communication. Spiritual insights flowed freely, bridging the gap between the earthly realm and the realms beyond. It was a transformative experience that shaped my spiritual journey and continues to inspire my path forward.
Throughout the week-long retreat, the emphasis was on trusting the information received from spirit. Each sensation, image, and insight carried a deeper meaning, guiding me to relay messages with clarity and conviction. One unforgettable moment occurred when I sensed a metallic taste in my mouth during a mediumship session. It turned out that the spirit I was connecting with had worked in a metal factory—validation of the accuracy and specificity of spirit communication. Despite my initial apprehensions, I trusted my intuition and embraced the journey ahead. I soon discovered the profound ability to receive messages clairvoyantly, clairaudiently, claircognizantly, and clairsentiently.
Spiritual Retreat in the Dandenong Ranges
For several years now, revered instructors from The Arthur Findlay College, like Tony Stockwell and Lynn Probert, journey to Melbourne’s tranquil Dandenong Ranges to lead a five-day spiritual retreat. Whenever I can, I prioritise attending these retreats to set aside my ego, hone my skills, and engage in practices such as remote viewing, psychic detective work, mediumship, automatic writing, and channeling. Immersing myself in these exercises is a refreshing escape from the everyday hustle, and I recharge in the high vibrational realms of spirit.
Nestled amidst ancient trees and mist-shrouded landscapes, the setting creates a perfect sanctuary for spiritual exploration. The days unfold leisurely, allowing ample time for deep connections and enlightening messages to emerge effortlessly from realms both known and unknown. The experience feels like incubating in a spiritual bubble, distanced from the distractions of the everyday world. Being in such a tranquil environment fosters a heightened awareness and sensitivity to spiritual energies. The ancient trees whisper their wisdom, and the mist blankets us in a cocoon of introspection and revelation. Each session becomes a journey inward, as we explore our psychic abilities and deepen our connections with spirit guides and loved ones in the beyond.
These retreats not only offer me a reprieve from the noise of modern life, but they remind me of the power of community and shared intention in making spirit a part of our every-day lives. As I reflect on these experiences, I carry with me the lasting impact of moments spent in the presence of esteemed tutors and fellow seekers, united in our quest for spiritual understanding and connection.
Connecting Through Mediumship
Immersed in the transformative experience, I found myself delving deep into the realms of mediumship, automatic writing, and channelling, guided by experienced tutors who led us through intensive sessions from dawn till dusk. As the days blurred into nights, time seemed to suspend, allowing us to surrender completely to the flow of spiritual energy enveloping us.
One memorable assignment was getting into pairs and delivering a message. My sitter remarked that she know anyone in the spirit world, so it might be an impossible task. I closed my eyes and saw a chocolate Labrador in my mind’s eye. With vivid clarity, I recounted scenes from idyllic walks by a serene creek, conveying messages of love and reassurance. She was delighted to confirm this was indeed her cherished pet. Astonishingly, I also validated that the new dog that had unexpectedly appeared on her doorstep was indeed brought to her by her Labrador in spirit. She tearfully confirmed that a dog had turned up at her door and had become her beloved pet. This poignant experience illuminated the enduring bond between humans and animals beyond physical existence, affirming that our beloved pets continue to watch over and guide us from the spiritual realms and have an ongoing role as guardians in our lives.
Healing Through Animal Messages
This encounter marked the beginning of my ability to relay messages from the animal kingdom, helping others find closure and even locate missing pets through mediumship. My experiences suggest that our beloved pets and the broader animal kingdom also journey to the afterlife and return to visit us. Just as humans are believed to have souls that continue beyond physical life, animals are often seen as spiritual beings with enduring connections to their human companions. Countless stories recount instances of beloved pets appearing in dreams, manifesting as subtle presences, or delivering signs and messages that provide comfort and reassurance.
Empowering Others Through Workshops
Investing significant time and dedication into my psychic training has empowered me to establish and lead workshops, as well as to host a thriving psychic development group in Aspendale. Through these platforms, I aim to inspire and guide others to trust their innate intuitive gifts and embrace their abilities with confidence. By creating a supportive environment for exploration and learning, I have developed a community dedicated to spiritual growth, mutual support, and profound understanding. Together, we delve into the realms of mediumship, intuitive healing, and psychic communication, encouraging each participant to cultivate their unique spiritual connection and share their messages authentically. This collective journey toward greater awareness and insight enriches not only individual spiritual practices but also strengthens our interconnectedness as we navigate the mysteries of the metaphysical world
