Whilst editing I decided not to update the manuscript with the psychic experiences I have had in the two years since it was originally written. ‘Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy’ marks a line, beyond which I started to look at everything with a much more open and questioning mind. I now believe that everything happens for a reason (whether it’s good or bad) and in searching to make contact with my mother, I came across the medium Richard Holmes. I have only been to three ‘Evenings of Clairvoyance’ and the second one was a couple of years ago. It featured three Mediums and Richard was one of them. I immediately felt he was the person I wanted to see when the time came for me to seek out a message from my mother. On 26 November 2010 I had my first meeting with Richard and that has very much marked the next stage in my life’s journey.
Richard has written a number of books and pamphlets that have opened my eyes and also confirmed some of the things I had already started to ‘suss out’ for myself. It was because of meeting up with Richard, that I attended my first ‘Vedic Chanting & Meditation Workshop’ – something that previously I would have shied away from. What I found that day, was that Richard managed to pull together a small group of people and create an experience that was more de-stressing than an aromatherapy massage! It opened my mind to a new ‘consciousness’ and I know that our meeting was no coincidence. After having read virtually all of his publications in the last couple of months, the next stage on my life’s path is going to be daily meditation. If someone had told me even just a couple of years ago that I would try ‘chanting’ and consider meditating, I would have laughed.
I have always drawn from life what I felt was right for me and I never felt I ‘fitted’ into any of the existing categories for my personal beliefs. The same with meditation, I intend to follow Richard’s guidance and draw from it the comfort and personal development that will allow me to grow in my search for my spiritual self. There have been times in my life when I have felt a little ‘lost, even though I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by family, friends and a fulfilling career. There was a little part of me, deep inside that knew something was ‘unconnected’, missing. Ironically, it is through the death of my parents that my spiritual learning-curve has taken off and my passion for writing was the tool my mother chose to get me to where she wanted me to be!
