Ever since childhood I’ve felt called by the spirit world, and the power of sound. This particularly occurred through the exquisite words forming in my consciousness like wonderful prayers, and I’ve always basked in the magical words of great poets like Shakespeare, Blake, Byron, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats. What I mean by this is that the sounds arising from beautiful poetry and prayers have always deeply resonated within my being, providing inspiration, and opening portals to the mystical, otherworldly realm of spirit.
This significantly occurred when I had evolved beyond an early sensory confusion and discovered I was a synesthete. Synesthetes experience unique sensory crossovers, and in my experience, this meant that I saw sound as light. Words literally light forms that flowed, and I found it impossible to read, considerably frustrating my teachers. However, after a period of mutism, at ten years of age, my sacred Mother had the brilliant idea of placing me in a Church Choir and I began to read through sacred song. I literally floated on the flow of the breath and the melodies as one, for the sounds of these words I felt in my soul, and a door opened in my consciousness.
After a period of floating through education, which I found severely challenging, I was defined as Dyslexic, not that we really knew what this meant in the late 60’s and early 70’s, yet by movements of the wheel of destiny, I found my way into Theatre as sacred ritual.
My professional life has extended over the last fifty years, having initially trained as an Actor/Teacher specializing in Voice & Theatre Studies, and then acting in UK Repertory Theatre – soaring on the currents of the rich voices that existed then, for this was a time when many Theatres burgeoned throughout the United Kingdom, allowing we Actors to learn how to create ‘spell’ for the audience.
However, it was during the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, after several years of muscling up my abilities to perceive the supernatural as a Medium or Seer, when I visited the Heart Chakra Energy Centre of the world – Glastonbury Tor – and experienced a divine transmission from twelve Archangels – the Angels of Atlantis. Through their gracious teaching these extraordinary light beings appearing as Orbs, gave me a temple of sound healing, which I’ve progressively brought into creation through the 1990’s.
