The day had arrived and I was a mess. My anxiety was high and Toronto driving was not helping. Packing hematite in both pockets, because I needed all the grounding I could get. We barely found parking. The clock was ticking down. At one point my husband told me I should just head in without…

The day of the retreat had arrived. I headed over tentatively. I was still contemplating the significance of this. I knew there had to be a reason I ended up connecting with S. When I first heard from her as a response to my Facebook post, it seemed to just be a nice coincidence that…

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…

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 had noticed a shift in my meditations. I was not experiencing as many visuals as before. I would have my guides come through at the beginning of each session, maybe see some lights or shapes, but that would be all that I would remember. I had a few significant sessions early on. One involved…

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…
