MY awakening started many years ago. I first realised I was having a wake up call in the late 90's when my house was struck by lightening. At the time many weird things were happening in my life that I couldn't explain.
It was around this time that I started to realise that I had many powers that needed unleashing...I was teaching a group of adults at the time and even though I had not trained in several of the subjects that I was given to teach I seemed to know the answers to subjects that were out of the ordinary.
I started to write about things that I didn't realise was in me. Everyone I knew would come to me to find out the answers to questions they needed answering, mainly spiritual and self help one's... They would say "ask Jacqui, she'll know"...thanks for having faith in me guy's:-)
It was around this time that I painted a tree and called it the tree of life, I had never heard of it before so out of curiosity I researched it and it was all to do with the beginning of time, spirituality, the universal symbol of life...
I was more of a craft worker and DIY expert at the time, into colours and interiors as well as recycling. I hadn't done much painting since my teens, except for the odd painting and interior work and the style I was using (symbolism) was very new to me, I knew nothing about it as I hadn't had any training as an artist.
Then I painted a tree called the Awakening of the spirit which was full of vitality and life...Now I had never heard of this 'Awakening before' yet all of a sudden I found myself writing about it for a course on youth in the community that I was on at the time. Well when I read it back I was amazed that I had written such a thing...I didn't know where it was coming from.
I started to receive information left right and centre through the paintings I created and was especially drawn to painting trees...I feel that through these paintings my spirit has been awoken. I have been led down a great path of self discovery, an exciting path that has helped me to unleash my creative and intuitive side. A path that has enabled me to do things I never thought I was capable of and it gets better by the second:-)
I believe I will never stop learning about the spiritual side of life and am so glad to have experienced such a thing; I am especially overjoyed to have such a gift presented to me...a gift that enables me to receive information from the higher realms about life, it's meaning and have the ability to help others
Before my awakening I felt empty as if I didn't know which way to turn now I know I have much work to do in the spiritual sense...Now I feel like my life has a meaning and I enjoy it so much more...
I now teach what I have learnt and love to teach others how to paint their true spirit so that they too can reawaken their true self and begin to live their true life being who they were intended to be before life's ups and downs took a hold on them.
Each day I feel I am becoming closer to living my dream, my faith in myself has been given such a boost by this awakening that I feel so much lighter in my spirit and fear, which I was gripped with before seems to have dis-appeared...and love has taken its place...I have a few more hurdles to overcome but trust that all will be won...For my spirit has been awakened...
