How I Found My Way Back to My Intuitive Self

"Welcome in!" I said to the woman who regularly came to the swimming pool. I checked her in. I was going to be out on duty as the lifeguard in 20 minutes, but for now I was monitoring the front desk.

"How are you today, Liz?" she asked me. I was 16 years old and loved my job. I was able to do my homework or read when I wasn't at the front desk or lifeguarding, and I had a lot of fun talking to everyone who came in.

"I am great," I told her. She was probably in her 50s and came to the pool once a week to do aqua aerobics. We had recently been chatting, and I found out that she was a psychic. She let me know she doesn't tell most people, because most don't know what to do with that information. I was immediately interested in learning more.

Growing Up Between Two Worlds

I grew up going to school and living in a home that supported the Catholic church way of life. My family wasn't strict about it, and I didn't feel pressure to be a part of the church, but my family found community through it. My mom was raised Catholic, and her parents were devout. My dad wasn't part of any religion, he was interested in understanding the backgrounds of lots of religions. I went to private Catholic schools and was expected by teachers to learn the Catholic way of life.

Looking back now, I realize it was a good experience, I had some really great teachers, but I absolutely shut down my authentic self, to fit in.

I remember, when I was much younger, being outside surrounded by my "friends", now realizing they were fairies I used to play with. I remember guides talking to me and giving me guidance. I spoke with them often.

Then one day, they were gone. I had shut them out. I had started to shut my true self out. 

Finding My Way Back

I've always been interested in the spirit world and wanted to reconnect with it again. I didn't realize how much I had missed them until I found that connection again.

When I found out about the woman at the pool, I asked her to talk to me about a few things. She told me I had past lives with a cousin of mine, and that I was here to make changes to the way traditional life has become. She also told me that I was psychic. I didn't know what to do with that information.

I started dabbling in astrology, finding out people's sun signs and having fun with the information, still unsure how accurate any of it really was.

As the years past, I felt more drawn to learning about it. I remember when I met my now-husband, and we looked up our birth dates to see if we were a good match, laughing about what it said.

Coming Home to Myself

Since then, I've slowly learned more and more, and become more connected to my authentic, intuitive self. I love looking back now and seeing the steps — how in touch I was, how I stepped away, and how I found my way back.

We all have this innate ability to reach beyond the veil, to find the connection we're all looking for. We all hold the truth within our hearts, within our souls.

In this study and discovery, I found that astrology is a map to help guide us; a way to get back to our authentic self, to live the life we're meant to live in our highest form. The planets give us the energy; we decide how we play the energy out.
