11 years of Angel Intuitive calling

Dear Beautiful Souls,

It’s been 11 years now (September 2014) since I have been to the Big Island of Hawaii and gotten my “Angel Intuitive” certificate with Doreen Virtue.

[I tried to write this blogpost on my 10th year anniversary but it didn’t feel aligned so I didn’t. Number 11 feels like the end of a cycle now and also feels more aligned with my purpose.]

And since that certificate, it’s been a weird journey.

Nothing about what happened during the last 11 years has been logically or carefully planned.

Because it has been 11 years of me (trying to) follow(ing) my inner guidance.

And for a scientist like me, the girl whose favorite subject in middle school was math because it was easy, it has been hard to let go, to go with the flow, to surrender to the unknown, and to understand that there is truly nothing to understand but only feeling, trusting, and surrendering to a higher force: the Divine within.

And my mind was rebelling every step of the way.

As many of you have experienced, there comes times in our lives called “activations”, turning points, dark nights of the Soul, moments when your life goes crumbling like “The Tower” tarot card.

I had a major one 11 years ago.

As I relate in my blogpost “How I slowly became the Healer I was meant to be!”, I was pregnant with my second boy, I was unemployed / stay-at-home-mom and still looking for a job as a research staff in Paleoceanography, knowing full well that it was not meant to be. I was living in Norway without any friends or family. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do with my life. I was so anxious. I was doubting myself to be a good mom. I felt like a failure most of the time. I was so ashamed for not being employed. I felt stuck in time and place, not being able to move forward, grieving the life that could have been and not yet embracing the life that was meant for me.

This already came after a series of other activations: loosing my job, almost loosing a friend to s…cide, being traumatized during childbirth, and becoming a mother for the first time. I was in a dark night of the Soul when I opened fully to my Angels and they asked me this question:

“Imagine, you have only 1 year to live. These are the last 12 months of your life. How do you want to spend your time and energy during the next 12 months?”

The answer came immediately and was crystal clear: Doreen Virtue’s workshop in Hawaii, become an Angel Intuitive, and start  doing Angel reading + healing for myself and others.

And the following September, I finally did. I closed the door to what could have been my scientist career. I went to Hawaii and got certified. We moved to Mexico. I gave birth to my second son. And then I started my blog “Little Sparks of Divine Light” two years later and continued to grow ever since. Like many of us, I got a mini spiritual crisis when Doreen Virtue renounced her previous work and became a reborn christian but after some Soul searching, I continued strong. I anchored more deeply into my faith and my work, committed to my own healing and growing. I have taken on more classes and workshops and received more activations and healing, including with Anna Frolik, Christina Sander, Lynsey R. Landry, Dora Rodrigues, Cordelia Francesca Fortunata, Charles Virtue, Rebecca Campbell, Lucy Cavendish, Melissa Virtue, Peroshini Naidoo, Robert Reeves, Diana Cooper, Gigi Young … and many others.

But my biggest activations came from within, from connecting to the Divine Within and from you, my readers, my followers, my customers, giving me monetary support, feedbacks, comments, sharing your life experiences with me. You were an essential part of my process, to help me know my place, to help hone my craft and my gifts, to  keep me safe. And so thank you. With every email you opened, every blog you read, every social media post you liked or shared, and every course you purchased, you have helped me trust that it is safe to be me, that I am wanted, that I have a purpose.

Now, if you feel guided to, read about what has changed in the past 11 years on the way I connect with the Divine and my guides, and the way I do reading + healing for others.

What has changed in the way I connect with my Divine guides?

When I discovered my Angels and guides, and later when I became an Angel Intuitive, I was mainly focused on safety – for me and my family. Especially living in Mexico, I was worried about carjacking, kidnapping, house invasion, road accidents, shootings, and more. I was also worried about how the world would react to my magic, to my authentic energy. I wanted to be safe while I was exposing myself online. And finally I was worried about my work, not doing readings properly, and ultimately making it so much worse for my readers and everyone involved. I had a lot of insecurities and anxiety.

But then something started to crack open …

As I was more and more connecting to the Angelic realm, I became aware of more and more spiritual truths, of an expansion inside of me. I started to understand that in order to do this job, I would be transformed from the inside out, I would go through my own healing as well as initiating healing for others. I would be nudged to release chains to my own Soul cages, my past-lives, my generational karma and more. I would be asked to deeply anchor myself into my faith, my Divine Truth. It is not just a skill, it is a constant transformation, it is being unveiled by the work and the Divine within me.

When I was growing up I was already aware of the magic outside of me: I was going away with the Fairies, I swam with Mermaids once, I spoke to a Dragon, … but I didn’t know how to connect with the magic within me. I didn’t know I had a magic within me. I always felt my spiritual guides outside of me. But little by little, I felt this ancient magic in my blood. I felt these guides coming from deep within me. I felt the ancient Atlantis priestess awaken. I felt the ancient Avalon priestess awaken. I felt the Goddess arising. I felt my guidance switching from my crown chakra into my heart chakra. Something I hadn’t done in centuries maybe. I felt the weight of the fear, the anxiety, the unworthiness blocks, the past-lives karma, the chains to ancestral trauma, and more, preventing me from expressing fully my Soul essence. And after that slow awakening, I felt guided to answer my deepest calling: carving a new path! Trusting myself, my Soul, my guides to bring something new into the world (still working on that). I am still learning what it means to live a Soul-led life.

I have learnt to trust my inner guidance, to trust myself to answer my inner guidance, and to trust my calling wherever it may bring me because this is bigger than myself.

What has changed in the way I am doing Angel readings for others?

At the beginning I felt a sense of responsibility in telling people what to do, giving my clients a detailed path to follow. Of course it didn’t work so well. 1. people don’t like when they are told what to do or not what to do. 2. why should they listen to me when they don’t even know me or trust me? 3. It’s not about me, it’s about the Divine guiding and helping the people who chose me for guidance.

As I was going through my own healing, I realized that my true calling was making space for others to get in touch with their own inner guidance. Making space for you to recognize what is true, to recognize your own Divine Truth so you can move through life following your Divine essence. Making space for you to reclaim your power, to realize you have options, that you don’t have to follow a script written by others. That you can make the choice to follow your highest path, your Divine path.

You don’t look for someone that will take the decisions for you. You are looking for someone who, alongside you, will help you see what is hidden in your life, or within your psyche, someone who will help you see the beauty, the blessings in your life that you are too troubled to see, someone who will help you trust yourself enough to know the way forward. Someone who can translate with love and understanding the warnings maybe the Divine has for you, without inflicting shame, guilt, anger, fear, or belittling. Someone who can restore peace of mind within you so you can finally see / feel / hear your Voice Within.

The second thing I learnt was to trust my own way, my own medicine and healing. Despite the training I received, despite the books I had read on what to do, despite the well-meant advice from other healers I had to find my own way. I was nudged by the Archangels and the Goddess to provide healing by creating a space where your Angels, the Archangels, and whoever is in your team of spiritual guides, could perform energy healing upon your energy body, your aura, and later come into your life, your dreams, your path with more messages and blessings. I am someone who can help you get in touch with your own magic, with minimal interference but a touch of my own wisdom and medicine from the ancient priestess that I was, in Atlantis and Avalon. I didn’t know any of this when I attended this certification in Hawaii 11 years ago and I know I will learn more in the future.

We are all going through transformation on a deep cellular level. We are all becoming more and more unshackled to untrue versions of ourselves. We are awakening more and more to our own power and our own magic. And we are becoming more and more Divine in our daily lives. Who knows what we will become 11 years from now?

But we can trust that our Angelic and spiritual guides are stirring us in the highest, most beautiful, most Divine versions of ourselves.
