The call came on October 14th, while I sat in the dentist’s chair. My referral had been accepted. I was now in the hands of Dr. G, a world renowned oncologist surgeon out of Princess Margaret Hospital. He is involved in thyroid cancer research, and a professor at University of Toronto. Dealing with his office…

I initially approached my friend Megan, who I’ve known since high school, for guidance. Having been involved in the metaphysical world for a decade, she has offered advice to me about the journey I am on, which at times has been overwhelming. I started to find myself interested in a service she provided called Akashic…

Hiking trips over the Thanksgiving weekend had become my oldest daughter and I’s tradition. This year I had chosen the Midland area, and extended the trip by a day. We had rented a cute Airbnb within walking distance of the old downtown area. It was central to cute shops, and restaurants, and about 25 minutes…

I was in a pendulum session one day when I pulled a card that made my breath catch in my throat. A health card. I didn’t understand. I had been doing all the things. I’d had taken the tests, and I was trying to balance my work and home life better. I had been actively…

After the success I had finding a reiki practitioner through a referral on Facebook, I went back to find some meditation classes. I received a reply from S, who runs a small yoga studio out of her home. I would describe her as a hippy, earthy type from England. She told me she had an…

I dove head first into all things metaphysical. My crystal collection was growing at an exponential rate, I was signing up for classes, and courses. I was soaking up all the knowledge, all while building my meditation practice. Crystals had been my first love. What started with a single lapis lazuli, became having crystals to…

My reiki practitioner had told me to carve out some time for fun, so I did. Over the Labour Day weekend, I had decided to take my youngest daughter to Elora for a few nights. I had been to Elora once before, for my husband’s 40th, and had fallen in love with its small town…

The next few weeks went by in a blur. I fully immersed myself into meditation. Every morning began the same. I was meditating before I got out of bed, and the Barenaked Ladies had played their final encore. Each meditation was capped off with grounding in the backyard. My mind was suddenly quiet at times.…

The day of my reiki appointment had arrived. I walked into Kirsten’s lovely space with no expectations. She was excited that it was my first time trying it. She explained that she hadn’t wanted to know much about my background, because a lot of what she experiences is intuitive, and she wanted it to be…
