The Hermes Community

d, I grew up thinking that there was something wrong with me. Every time I mentioned it, I was either mocked, brushed off and told I was imagining it, or labelled as mentally ill. So, I learned quickly to suppress this gift and pretend that I was normal. I know now, that this contributed to the thirty years of self-doubt and insecurities I’ve faced, but at the time, I was only trying to survive. It wasn’t until years later that I started to uncover who I really was, and this only occurred because I was having anxiety attacks, and couldn’t cope with the life I was living. Crippled with self-esteem issues, fears and insomnia, I hit a point in my life where I had to do something or I wasn’t going to make it. I was in a sh*t relationship, in a province where I didn’t speak the language, and to top it all off, being sexually harassed at work. In an industry where females a rarer than STDs, rumors about an attractive woman spread like wildfire. It didn’t matter if the rumors were true or not, I became the source of their entertainment, and that alone broke me. I was completely isolated and wore shame like a robe, and because of the emotional stress I was under, my body started to break down. Panic attacks were becoming a regular occurrence for me, and I was becoming desperate to find anything to help relieve the stress. So, I hit the old google and looked up some guided meditations that I began trying daily. Everyday I would run 5 KM through the sand doons behind my townhouse complex, before laying down in my cold basement for a guided meditation. At first, I thought it was my eyes tricking me, but over time I started to lean into the images I saw. The air in front of me would quiver as though I was looking at a mirage, before the room began to spin. It felt as though a thick wall of energy surrounded me, and moved in circles like a slow but powerful hurricane. When I closed my eyes, I was instantly sucked through this vortex of light, and traveled through what I now call as “No Time.” I was shot out into space, and would float along until I fell into what felt like a memory. Sometimes I would land in a still photograph in tea stained colours, where the events would flash around me as though someone was flipping through the pages of a storybook. Most of the time though, visions come in flashes of images, symbols and second long videos, and it is up to the reader to decipher what the hell all of it means. This is because the universe speaks in a language of vibrations. A frequency is sent and depending on the sensitivity of the receiver, the messages will be experienced in a particular way. Either through a feeling, an urge to speak, a knowing, or an image, your mind receives these messages and transmits them to you. It is then the job of the rational mind, the ego if you may, to decode and interpret them. Once I stopped condemning and started accepting myself for who I am, what was once hauntings, became the most magnificent gift. Through this process I’ve discovered who I am, and have learned to love the physical and non-physical parts of me. I’ve learned to not just cope with life, but to really live it. I’ve seen what it is like on the other side, and the unconditional love that radiates towards everyone and everything. I truly believe that if the world could see the things I’ve seen, and feel what unconditional love really is, then fear around life and death would dissolve, and people would come to realize the power they hold. This is why I am choosing to pursue this line of work; I feel as though it is a calling. I want to help others feel the level of love I have felt, which surrounds them at all times. Help them befriend their spiritual self, and connect with all aspects of who they really are. Help them fall back in love with life, and rediscover the magnificence they hold inside. If I could pass one thing on from the other side, it is this. We are all gifted with these abilities, you just have to know how to interpret the signs. The Hermes Community Goal:

Health is much more than just physical. When we are not aligned with who we really are, our physical health suffers, and we end up with chronic diseases. Learning to heal yourself from the inside out, starts with the thoughts we think. Loving yourself is step one to healing yourself, the rest is understanding who you are. A thousand minds are stronger than just the one, and knowledge is power. Right now, The Hermes Community consist of only me, but the goal of this community is to create an international network of like-minded individuals focused on health, happiness and the betterment of humanity. You are so loved,
