Our lives now started to weave together. In 1992 I had completed my professional training as a homeopath and set up a healing centre on the outskirts of Bradford in Yorkshire, England, the town where I had always lived. This is also where Kevin was born. We had gone to the same school and now we lived, unknowingly, only five minutes away from one another. I was having problems with the clinic computer and one of the therapists at the practice felt it was only right for a spiritually minded person to come and help. He obviously thought it needed to be a like-minded person who could assist me with the healing centre’s computer. Kevin came to the clinic to sort out my computer and I offered him one of the consultation rooms for his healing practice. Now working at the same place, we had the opportunity to exchange healings and he joined meditation groups at my home.
In 2001, I bought an around the world air ticket and travelled for the next fifteen months. Kevin continued with his healing but in 2002 was prompted by Djwhal Khul to start gathering certain pieces of information together. Kevin’s decision to leave work had triggered within him a total commitment and trust in spirit. This abdication of personal needs and agendas facilitated his life to be now totally guided by the Angels and Masters. As the principles and structure of the new healing modality directed and facilitated totally by the Angelic Kingdom of Light unfolded, he did not know from day to day where he would go and what he would do. He tells a story of how one day after taking the children to school he was guided to go into the central library in Bradford. On arrival he was directed to go up to the third floor and turn right. About two-thirds of the way down the rows of shelves, on his left, he was directed to turn left and then pick up a book on the bottom shelf on the right-hand side. This book was ‘A Dictionary of Angels’ by Gustav Davidson. It was to provide the material for an attunement which allows the Reiki Symbols to be attuned to the Angelic vibration and thus to their original archetypal Angelic form. This is just one story of how for nearly a year Kevin’s life was guided in order to bring together the material that was to be written down and named Angelic Reiki.
Kevin taught a number of workshops over the next few months and then a friend of his organised an Angelic Reiki workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and one in Singapore. I was on my world travels and coincidentally was in Malaysia at the same time as Kevin. When he had left the UK on the flight to Kuala Lumpur and said his goodbyes, he knew his life was to take another major turn. My journeys after Malaysia took me to Thailand and Japan, and after teaching a workshop in Japan I decided to return home to be with Kevin.
From then on, we organized and taught the workshops together, and in 2005 we decided we needed to make our home in Luxor, Egypt, and live among the energy and inspiration of this great place.
Is everything birthed by men? Of course not, and they cannot do it on their own. It is the nature of the female principle to be unseen. The male input for creating a baby is visible and not hidden in any way. The baby in the mother’s womb then goes through nine months of amazing change totally unseen.
At the start of workshops Kevin and I would tell something of the story of how Angelic Reiki came about. He would tell the story of how Djwhal Khul impulsed him to leave his job in engineering and to give his full time to healing and how he just followed the guidance in every moment as to when to meditate, where to go and which books to look at. We would tell the story of how he was guided to go to the local library and pick up the book ‘A Dictionary of Angels’. The actual channelling of the material that went into the workbooks and the structure and the philosophy of Angelic Reiki had been written down whilst I was away travelling and Kevin and I were not in a relationship at that time.
From 2007 I started teaching part of the workshops on my own because Kevin was experiencing pain in his throat, and during 2008 I was doing the majority of the workshops. When I was teaching on my own, I would tell the story of how Angelic Reiki came about but the students started asking me questions about the part that I have played. The presentation of the story up until then had been all about Kevin, all about the male energy.
Kevin had recognised and knew it was through me, the female energy, that the system was actually being grounded, but there was no great story to tell. It was the asking of the question “What was your part?” in a workshop space that allowed the bigger picture to be revealed and that I had not realised the bigger picture myself. It is interesting to see how we had been acting out the male and female archetype. The male sexual organs are visible and external and there, in a way, for all to see. The female reproductive organs are deep within her body and the secrets of creation kept deep within her. There is a period of creation which is profound but hidden then after that time a birthing takes place and something independent is born.
Kevin and I had personally prepared ourselves for the conception of Angelic Reiki during our individual paths starting at the time of the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 and continuing throughout the 90’s. Although our paths were walked separately, they were essentially the same path. Both of us received Master attunements to Usui Reiki and Shamballa Reiki; we had studied and worked with the Merkabah, given up our normal jobs, and undertaken a lot of personal work. Then, in about 1997 after Kevin had come to work at my healing centre, he invited me to watch a video with him at his home by Barbara Stein on Usui Reiki. This turned out to be not just the watching of a video, but a spiritual event whereby our energies were merged. We both experienced unusual energetic changes for the following weeks. It was after that, when we exchanged healings and looking back, our life path had put in place a number of events that spiritually started to merge our energies.
In 2001, I decided to give up everything and go travelling. Astrologically I am water, and I now see that like the Water Carrier, I was seeding my energy and imbibing the energies of many spiritual places around the world. It was whilst I was travelling that we coincidentally met in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I had had an open ticket and was travelling wherever the impulse took me. Kevin and I had only exchanged the very occasional e-mail but one day I received a message saying that he would be in Malaysia to do a workshop organized by Colette from the UK and the timing of this was exactly when I was travelling through Malaysia. This was a three week period out of a fifteen month journey. Quite a coincidence! It was when we met in Kuala Lumpur that on the human level we fell in Love and recognised our deep connection. We had actually always lived only about 15 minutes away from one another and, although our age difference had meant we never met, we had actually gone to the same senior school. After visiting Thailand and Japan, I cut my travelling short and returned to the UK to be with Kevin. It was very apparent that the purpose of our union was to balance the male and female so as to bring these two principles through our teaching and in the workshops.
It is now my life purpose to nurture Angelic Reiki through its adolescence and into full maturity.
A number of well-respected channels have said Kevin and I are twin flames. A twin flame relationship is very challenging because its very nature means you are facing the perfect mirror. It starkly reveals anything that has not come into balance and has not been embraced unconditionally with Love. It is deeply searching and it is said that twin flames only come together to do spiritual work. As a relationship, the tendency is to break apart because the other half is totally opposite to you in human, personality terms. I do resist spiritual drama and don’t attach any great significance to whether Kevin and I were twin flames or not. I know we came together on a deep spiritual level, the Love was absolute, and the process of being together was a deep personal clearing for both of us. This personal purification, although challenging at the time, is one of the most profound gifts one can ever give another person. I am deeply grateful for the time we spent together and cherish every moment.
