The Spiritual Life Chose Me: The start of my practice
I look back at how far I have come, in terms of my spirituality and practice… I remember a time when I resisted spirit and my “life purpose”. It took me years to come to peace and understanding with my calling in life, because at the core of my resistance was an unhealed part of me, which was the feeling of being unworthy. I have since identified the root of my feeling unworthy, which took a lot of work in unpacking painful layers. In short, I had discovered that these layers were from feeling ashamed of myself, and when we feel shame, we naturally feel undeserving of anything beautiful or amazing in life. One of the reasons for my feelings of unworthiness , comes from my past… my history… I definitely didn’t consider myself a candidate for “Spiritual Healer”, nor did I choose it.
Well, now, with my background in psychoeducation, and trauma work, I can look back at myself, and send so much compassion and love to the “broken” person I thought I was. I didn’t have the best life growing up, and most people feel that way, everyone has a story, and most of us grew up in dysfunctional families, where being in survival mode was a normal day in our personal hell. It took me a very long time to deal with my grief and heal my emotional wounds. What I learned about trauma was that, at the core of our behaviors, there is a root cause that triggers a nervous system response, which is unconscious… obviously , & we act it out in realtime, by reacting: getting triggered, and by getting defensive, causing harm to our bodies and to others. Anyway, the point is, I no longer feel shame for myself, I can’t now, with all that I know about trauma and the body. I am so grateful to be in the age of information, where I can choose to learn about our humaness and to cultivate a healing path for myself. I have learned to honor my stories, honor what the past has taught me, and I can share this compassionate wisdom with other and especially to my son.
For many years I have debated whether to share my stories publicly or not, I do share some of my stories with a few people I feel safe with, but to put myself on blast on the internet… well… how many of you feel comfortable sharing your personal life on the net? lol
Sharing my spiritual stories is a significant step forward, for me… my book editor advised me to write blogs, and engage with people who would be interested in purchasing my future book.
So, here I am…
To continue my story…
I have ceased resisting my life path and instead embraced my true calling. Taking a moment to truly internalize this awareness, I acknowledge that I haven't voiced it aloud to anyone yet. However, I now feel deserving of sharing my extraordinary encounters with spirit and the divine, despite the seemingly unbelievable nature of these experiences. The stories and encounters I share in my blogs are genuine, having been witnessed by many.
But before I start my story….
The title of this blog, “The spiritual life chose me”, is perfect for what I want to share with you because it describes how I wasn’t intentionally seeking out my “life purpose” or the “spiritual path”, let alone seeking out to be a, “Spiritual Healer”.
I want to begin by mentioning the significant amount of people I have connected with, during my practice, who have told me they wished they shared the same phenomenal experiences I did, or wished they had my “gifts” , or wished they had the same direct spiritual connections I did. You might be thinking what’s so great about Priscilla?, well. trust me, I don’t think I’m anything extra special…
When I think of the word “special”, it reminds me of my mother who told me that she knew I would be special after an event that happened to me as a baby.
Here’s how it all started…
According to my parents/family, when I was about 7 months old, I was in the crib taking a nap, and from time to time my mom would check up on me, when suddenly I had disappeared from my crib and the room. My parents panicked, searching the whole apartment, not understanding how it was possible for me to have left the crib when I hadn’t even been old enough to stand or crawl, let alone jump off a crib without falling and crying. My mother said they even checked the windows for possible kidnapping, but low and behold, they checked under a bed where they found me at the far end, by the corner wall, sleeping peacefully.
At that moment, my mothers intuition told her I was “special”, and she believed a spirit took me from the crib and brought me back from who knows where. Basically, throughout my life, my mother and my family have witnessed other phenomena manifest around me, up until today. I am grateful to have a mother and family, who are open to the many possible unknowns. My mother’s side of the family have natural strong intuition, with several of my family members being unpracticed mediums/psychics. We all have certain gifts, some have prophetic dreams, others telepathy , most of them are intuitive, they have visions, and some have even astral projected! We are a very unique and gifted family! So, what’s so special about me? well, one of the unique gifts I have is my direct connection with divine spirits who, to this day, stay in contact with me. When I say, “divine spirits”, I am not referring to recent family members who have passed, (even though I have had the pleasure of communicating with a few of them), I am referring to spiritual figures such as Jesus and Kwan Yin, “spirit guides,” or what some call “Ascended Masters”.
So, back to my blog title, I didn’t choose to have this ability, I didn’t want to “see”, and hear spirits, trust me, I was traumatized throughout most of youth, just ask my sisters/fam, they were always there to save me in the middle of the night, when I was afraid to be in the room with the spirits, who were talking to me, touching me, singing to me, knocking on my door, and manifesting out of nowhere.
I got accustomed to staying up late and sleeping when the sun came up, because I had no peace at night. That doesn’t mean that spirit doesn’t visit me during the day, because they do, but its less scary, I suppose. I literally didn’t know I was a legit medium/psychic til I was in high school, when I started to share messages to some kids at High school. I thought it was normal to see spirits because my mom and aunts always talked about how they see ghosts, so, I went about life not thinking twice about it. Now, I meet people in the industry who deliberately try to learn how to communicate with spirit, or to enhance their abilities, they work hard towards achieving that goal, where I have prayed many nights for God to take my gifts away. For a long time, I didn’t want to be contacted by spirit, I didn’t want to know the future, or peoples past, I didn’t want to know anything… I didn’t want this at all…. When I say, “The spiritual life chose me”, I really mean it. I was born gifted but most of my life I denied that part of me, and went about my life blind to who I am lol
During that time, I had predicted many big life events that came true, for example: On my wedding night mid 1990’s I had predicted that the marriage (With ex) would fail after our 10 years together, I even knew the cause of it too, and 10 years later, it happened exactly the way I envisioned it. I had also predicted I would meet my “soul mate”, and a few months after my separation, I did! However, I also knew that it would take years for my “soul mate” and I to be ready for a commitment together. I have also predicted births and deaths, oh… I can go on… you get the point. Presently, I am very selective of who I read the future for, being trauma-aware changed everything about how I approach my clients with my psychic abilities & mediumship.
Just because I was intuitive, didn’t mean I was highly spiritual, I think a lot of people have that misconception about psychics. I didn’t grow up religious, nor really spiritual. We didn’t go to church or pray as a ritual etc.. My dad was Atheist and my mom sometimes had Catholic tendencies because her grandmother was Catholic, but she didn’t follow a religious routine, nor did she pressure us to be religious. My maternal grandmother however, had influenced me with her extraordinary stories and she would share with me, traditional healing beliefs at random times because, I didn’t get to grow up with my grandmother, she lived in Arica, Chile most of her life. Most of my spiritual beliefs came from the spirits who would visit me, and I eventually started to delve into Spiritually. I don’t identify myself as New Age, or religious, I am closely connected to my Andean Ancestors and my spirituality comes from the philosophy of the Andean Cosmovision.
Akasha Clinic was born….
It wasn’t until I met my soul-mate in 2008, where my life changed drastically, and it lead me on the spiritual path. To make a long story short, we were on our way to our very first date-night, and he was driving a Nissan SUV, we didn’t know anything about each other, and we made small talk when I suddenly heard a mans voice in the back seat calling my name.
“Priscilla…” He whispered eerily.
I turn to look at the back seat, there was nobody there physically, except a spirit of a man. He was sitting directly behind my date, Sam, and I had turned away quickly hoping the spirit would leave me alone, because I didn’t want to freak Sam out on our first date lol
Spirit: “Priscilla… I’m his father, please I need you to give him a message for me…”
I gave in and asked him if there is something that would help me to convince his son that I am speaking to his late father. Spirit shared some information with me, and I turn to Sam, and warn him that I have extrasensory gifts, he laughs and says it’s okay because his family believes in psychics, so, that helped me open up.
I asked him, “Your father passed away when you were around 14?”
Sam gives me an intense stare, he slowly says, “Yessss… How do you know that!?”
I explain that I can see the spirit of his late father in the back seat. Sam adjusts his rear view mirror to look at the back seat, but he cannot see anything.
I relay the rest of the message. Needless to say, it was a date he will never forget!
Eventually we bonded, and our love was born, so much so, that he ended up giving me a beautiful gift, which is, of opening up my own spiritual practice! To this day, he tells me the greatest investment he’s ever made, is with me. :) He bought me “Akasha Clinic”, because he believed in me, my spiritual healing gifts, and of course, because I helped him along the way to heal his connection with his late father.
My connection with Sam, is also deeply spiritual and phenomenal , I didn’t believe in “Soul-mates” until I met him, I went through a stressful journey with him to get to where we are now in life. That’s a story for another day …
so…
I had resisted spirit on so many occasions, tried to live my life without being spiritually conscious, I was choosing to stay stagnant, as a form of self-protection. If you read my blog story, “Bodhisattva Kwan Yin Encounter”, it explains this blog a bit more.
Interesting enough, a couple of years ago, an American woman came to see me at my office, who shared a story with me. She had said that I reminded her of her Reiki teacher: Tanaka’s (Japanese woman who brought Reiki to the western world) daughter. Who she referred to as, “The Reluctant Messiah”. Now, I want to be clear here, that I don’t believe I am a “messiah”, but when she told the story of this reluctant messiah, I definitely resonated with her story. There is a bit more to the story but what’s relevant here is that I am not the only one being chosen by Kwan Yin, to do collective healing work.
While I have a strong desire to share all my stories about the journey towards establishing my practice, I believe that these selected few will be adequate to provide you with insight into the process and achievements of “Akasha Clinic."
It was the spiritual life that chose me, even though I never envisioned myself as a spiritual healer. My initial aspiration was to complete the psychology program I embarked on years ago. However, a sequence of spiritual occurrences unfolded, steering me onto this trajectory. I firmly believe that I am precisely where I am meant to be, and this alone serves as a compelling testimony to my journey. My other blog entries intricately weave together the threads of my life's purpose, illustrating how the spirits chose me to serve as a conduit for channelling healing energy and messages to those who are drawn to collaborate with me on this planet.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story <3
