This episode is different to the usual, because I’m sharing my channelling story - how I got started, how I got good and how I got in my own way. I get loads of questions about these things from people who would like to channel themselves and from people who want to deepen their spiritual connection, so if that’s you I hope you enjoy my story!

Intuitive art helped me open up to this other side of myself, the more intuitive and spiritually connected side. It acted like meditation does, keeping my thinking mind out of the way so that guidance could come through from my higher and self my spiritual guide team.

The first time I heard a guide in my head

It wasn’t really a voice I heard, it was more like a presence, although there were definite words being transmitted. It happened during one of my intuitive art classes, I suddenly had someone in my thoughts with me, and she said her name was Melina. It wasn’t for long and when my focus came back to the class everyone else had moved on, so I knew that something had happened.

Even though I’d REALLY wanted to have a guide of my very own, I totally freaked out when Melina made contact with me and ignored her for weeks. Eventually, I s
