Spiritual Awakening

"About two years ago, I had a spiritual epiphany that completely transitioned my life, so one day I was one way and the next day I came out of the shower and I was a completely different person. About ten years ago, I lost my son and I went through a lot of years of being in that; my lower chakras were all blocked up. So after deciding to leave corporate--I did that about three years ago--I started doing weekly meditations and doing some chakra work. I'm a tarot card reader and a Wiccan and I've been a pagan for a long time, about twenty-five years. Anyway, I've been really putting myself out there and practicing something I call, 'Say Yes.' Any opportunity that comes up to you, if you have no viable reason to say no, ya gotta do it, even if you're afraid. And that's how I raised my kids; that's how I live my life. So, about two years ago, I had been doing a lot of acupuncture and work on reconnecting with myself, and just one day, it clicked. It was an amazing experience that nobody else had except for me, I was alone. But it was a physical body response that I actually felt happen, and when I came out of the shower, and went on my normal day, the way I drank my coffee no longer tasted good. The foods that I was attracted to, not anymore. We called it a reverse stroke, like I came out of being broken and into fighting for myself."
