It was the beginning of 2015, and I had just made a big move to expand my business. I remember it was an intense time for me because not only was I taking a big scary leap in my life, I was also going through a heart-break, and I was feeling emotionally exhausted. I was freshly wounded, trying my best to heal, and to top it off, I was dealing with financial trauma. At the time, I had no awareness of my relationship with money, and how it would affect my overall well-being. I realize now, I was traumatized with taking a financial risk, while at the same time being traumatized with my break-up. I recall my body in shut-down mode, I had adrenal-fatigue, anxiety attacks, and chronic pain. My body was trying to communicate with me, however, at the time, I didn’t understand that my body was responding to extreme stress. I felt defeated and wounded, so, I decided to give up on Akasha Clinic, before I could even utilize the space to its full potential.

My office space was open for a couple of months, unused, I was preparing to give up the space, when one night, while asleep, I had an experience while astral travelling , I remember flying out of my body, floating somewhere in space, I seen bright stars, I felt cold, and I was consciously aware I was astral travelling. Then I saw myself manifest my corporeal body, meaning that I usually see myself as an Astral-body, so, while floating in space, I was nude, I felt vulnerable and out of place, when suddenly, I felt the presence of higher beings surround me, they took no form or shape, they were energy beings. They spoke to me telepathically or psychically, and I asked them, “Why am I here in my body, nude?”

They told me to look ahead at space, and I could suddenly see my corporeal body suspended in space in front me, and I was astral-form again. I watched my body be split in half, like a piece of cake and sliced in half, I could see my physical body, all its organs and nervous system. This made me feel self-conscious, I was so uncomfortable looking at the insides of my body. I asked the beings, “Why are you showing me this?”

I don’t know how to explain this part, but they had me zoom into my throat area, and I could see and feel every detail in my throat, like the warm blood flowing through my veins and glands. There was emphasis on my thyroid gland area and the beings were communicating that I need to heal. I was afraid that maybe my health was deteriorating. Upon waking up, I had made an appointment to see my family doctor, I asked her to check my thyroid and shortly thereafter , had bloodwork done. A week later, my doctor had called me for my results, and it was confirmed that my thyroid levels were extremely high and my doctor suggested prescription drugs before it got worse. I had now understood why the beings showed me my throat area, that is where my emotional (trauma) pain was being stored in my body. Part of healing the body is to also consider the emotional side, so, I had made plans that night to visit my good friend, Jessica, who always shared a safe container for me to address my concerns and basically vent. I sat with her, breathed deeply, as I shared with her my shame for wanting to quit my business. My friend’s gentleness helped me so much that night, and I remember Jessica’s words to me, “Don’t give up my friend, we need you. You help people in so many ways and I know you can do this!”

As she spoke those words, I can feel my resistance. I felt ashamed of my state of being, and thought : How can I help others, when I can’t even help myself? I had a lot to metabolize, I remember driving home that night, asking for the universe to give me a sign.

 A week later, as life continued, and so did my struggles, I remember dropping my son off at school, and then had breakfast, while chatting on the phone with my bestie, Jessica and some friends, I suddenly had an intense urge to meditate. I vividly recall it was 10:30am, I told my friends that I would message them back after I meditate. When the unbelievable happened!

I remember literally leaning back on my bed to stretch before meditating, closed my eyes and within seconds I felt I was transported to another space! I was consciously aware that I was just about to meditate, and yet found myself in a big empty office type space. I was scared, looking around the room, wondering how the heck I got there, I took note of the space, it had light-coloured hardwood floor, the walls had rainbows on it everywhere, there were big bright windows, it was beautiful and sunny out, and I consciously remembered that it was actually a cold gloomy day out when I had dropped my son off earlier that day. I knew that I was not in Canada, or on this earth for that matter lol

I was alone in the room for about 5 minutes when suddenly, I heard the front door knob turn, and I heard some keys. I got closer to the door to see who was coming in, and an Oriental woman in her 50’s opened the door. She was wearing all blue, blouse and pants, she had short black hair, her eyes were sharp, but tender.

I said to her, “I’m so sorry, I don’t know where I am and I don’t know how I got here!”

I felt like I was violating her space, I thought I might be scaring this woman, she might think I was a burglar or something. Instead, she smiled at me and told me she was expecting me! WTH? I was shook! I didn’t understand all this, I didn’t know what to do. I have had a lot of phenomenal experiences, but this in particular one, was a first for me, in terms of being in another realm because a “sprit” wanted to see me.

So, the story goes…

The woman seemed in a hurry or felt a sense of urgency, so she asked me to follow her. I followed her through a corridor that took a second to pass, but I remember vividly going through some type of complex labyrinth that otherwise would have taken a longer time to cross, yet it was a split second to get to the end of the hall. I was extremely fascinated. She ushered me into a room where I saw a white round table and 2 white chairs, and to the left of my chair I could see my niece, I remember saying, “Sahara? How did you get here?”

When suddenly I had an intuitive understanding that it was her soul, who was pointing to an opening, like a door… I peeked through it and saw space, below the door I saw an ocean with a black hole in it, swirling around like a huge vortex. I knew that if I go through that door, I would “wake up” from this experience. My niece vanished immediately after showing me the door, I thought it was odd that she passed through for a second, just to show me the portal.

I sat down on the chair, across from the mysterious woman, wearing all blue. I was curious to find out why I was there and who she was. She stared at me intensely, I had this strange feeling that she was upset with me. The first thing she asks me was, “ How is business?”

That question took me by surprise, I thought to myself, why does this person care about my business, and how is it relevant to her or this experience. I literally thought this in my conscious mind. I answered without a care, “I don’t know…”

I remember shrugging my shoulders.

She stared at me quietly for a moment, and I could feel her energy, her sadness, or maybe it was disappointment, I don’t know, but she went straight to the point and abruptly said, “Priscilla, don’t quit…”

First of all, she knows my name? and how did she know I wanted to quit Akasha Clinic?, And why does she care? Who is this woman anyway??!! Also, where the heck was I?!

Here I was, in some other dimension with a woman I had never met in my life, who happens to know and care about me and my business. My mind was filled with questions and emotions, I was bewildered. I couldn’t make sense of anything. I kept looking at the door… where the portal was, it was like I was on top of a mountain cliff looking down at an endless ocean. The vortex or portal, had a familiar energy that I had encountered before, and I don’t have the proper words to describe it, except for a term I use sometimes to describe this phenomenon , a very bleak term, eternity. It feels like ETERNITY, foreverness, vastness, endlessness, vacuousness, and it has the strongest energy I have ever felt in all of my life. It’s like an entity in itself, it has consciousness…

When I turned to look at the woman, I asked her who she was, she slid a long white glossy card or photo across the table toward me, I knew I wasn’t supposed to peep it yet. She began to discuss my path, and the future goals for my business, the strange part was that she was sending me visions, like a projector screen but psychically, not like something I could see in the room but within a vision , I honestly can’t describe it. She kept emphasizing that I do not quit, that it is my purpose in this lifetime to facilitate healing to those seeking my support on their healing journey. She continued to send me these telepathic like visions of me working, helping people on their healing journeys, teaching and for example: facilitating paint therapy events.

My energy and felt senses shifted, it was all encompassing, I felt hope, support, and I felt loved. In that moment I knew I had to turn over the white card that she passed to me, I turned it over and I saw a picture of a rainbow and an Oriental woman, on a dragon flying over the ocean, and at the bottom of the card, I read the words “KWAN YIN”.

I looked up at her and said, “You are Kwan Yin?”

she smiled and replied, “Yes”.

I took a moment to reflect on her name. To be honest, I didn’t know who she was, and her name was unfamiliar to me. However, I sensed that she was important to the spiritual realms, even though I wasn’t familiar with her or her teachings. I acknowledged her as my spiritual teacher. Kwan Yin sent me healing energy that I could feel literally as electrical sparks all around my body, I understood then, that the feeling of gentle “electrical shocks” had to do with her. There was a beautiful calm in the room and in my body, and I felt rejuvenated. In that moment, Kwan Yin pointed to the table and a holographic image appeared above it, and it was a triangle like structure, and on top of it was a holographic image of my beautiful friend, Jessica.

I remember saying out loud, “JESSIE?!”

Kwan Yin smiled gently and said, “Ask her about it when you go back…”

I felt in that instance that Jessica played a role in my connection with Kwan Yin, and I was so excited to “wake up” and tell Jessica what happened! Kwan Yin wasn’t finished with me yet. She stared into my eyes, and began to transfer more images and telepathic messages to me. I guess some people might refer it to a “download”, I felt myself receive the energy she was sending me and the last thing she said to me was, “Priscilla, you have a job to do, you are one of us”

All of a sudden, I was lying on my bed with my eyes wide open, I checked the time, and only 5 min passed! WOW! WTH?

I had to process the whole experience, and I questioned myself, questioned everything that just happened. Was it real? Was it a dream? What the heck just happened to me??? I literally googled Kwan Yin, and learned she is a Bodhisattva, a person who is able to reach Nirvana, but chooses to delay it, and stays to save suffering beings, out of compassion. She is the Goddess of forgiveness, compassion and mercy.

I then called Jessica.

As the phone rang, I was organizing my thoughts, where do I begin? OMG! My excitement was on EXTRA! Jessica answered the phone, I blurt out, “Hi, Jess, I think I astral travelled! Remember when I told you I was going to meditate?”

Jessica replies, “Yeah”

“Well, within seconds of getting into meditation position, I found myself in another realm!”

I told her the whole story and Jessica was literally screaming with emotion on the other side of the phone. She was shook, because she told me that the night I had gone to see her, she was unpacking some of her boxes, (she had moved back from New York), and she had found her Kwan Yin statue, and it prompted her to pray, and fortunately, she prayed for me as well! My wonderful friend prayed for me and for my business, and Kwan Yin heard her prayer! ❤️

Jess was beside herself, she couldn’t believe Kwan Yin heard her prayer that night. It changed our lives forever!

Any doubt I had about that phenomenal experience, dissolved as I understood I was part of a magical encounter with the Bodhisttva Kwan Yin, also known as Guan Yin.

Not to mention, a couple of weeks after that experience, Kwan Yin sends me an earth angel to further prove my connection with her…
