One old friend was going through a difficult divorce and asked me to go with her to see a psychic.<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued by the thought \u2013 so off we went. The psychic\u2019s name was John, and he was the real deal. With my permission, he tuned in to hidden thoughts and feelings and accurately predicted a number of significant events in my life. I was floored \u2013 and at the same time a seed had lovingly been planted in my subconscious for future development.<\/p>\n<p>While some might call it coincidence, I believe the universe set in motion a series of events that day that put me on the path to becoming a medium. As it happens, I was the last person he gave a reading to before he switched gears in his career and life \u2013 after that, he left for Europe to help Interpol crack a high profile child prostitution and drug ring.<\/p>\n<p>Stunned and excited by the experience, I immediately began writing an outline for a film script when I got back to Paris. The story revolved around an expat artist discovering her psychic ability, which nearly destroyed her marriage and resulted in an abrupt change in life and career. Little did I know the woman I was writing about was actually me \u2013 and that I was about to encounter the biggest challenges of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Within six months I moved to Zurich. And then with no warning, my cherished father died. Reeling from shock and pain, and distraught at being so far away when it happened, I sank into a state of confusion and questioning. I desperately wanted to speak to him one more time. I wanted to know he was okay. I wanted to know what to do and where to go in my life. I needed answers.<\/p>\n<p>In my confusion, a question nagged at me \u2013 was I being guided to explore and hone my psychic abilities so that I could help others heal from the loss of loved ones? Or was it about developing the perfect character for my movie script? Could it be possible the universe was knocking on my door while I sat slumped in the darkness?<\/p>\n<p>Setting my fear aside, I opened the door. I decided then and there that I wouldn\u2019t let limiting beliefs hold me back on my path to spiritual freedom. It felt great. But like all journeys that are worthwhile, my faith was tested along the way. The toughest challenge was the lack of understanding, acceptance or support from loved ones about my direction.<\/p>\n<p>But I persevered, knowing in my heart I was on the right path. And as my intuitive skills deepened and expanded, so did the support and validation I longed for. At first it came from the individuals and families I helped through heartache and struggle, and then slowly it spread to include some of my loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The two decade journey hasn\u2019t been an easy one, but I know it\u2019s the only one for me. And I know I can help you find your path, too \u2013 one that is filled with joy, reward and meaning!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #412b72;\">With love,<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #412b72;\">Laura<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day through our decisions, actions and most importantly our beliefs, we create our lives.
