Hi! My name is Natalia. I'm from Ukraine and have been in the US for over 17 years. I live in the Memphis, Tennessee area and started my spiritual journey over ten years ago. I turned to God after I got really sick with Lyme disease and the doctors couldn't help me for two years while I was getting sicker and sicker. Eventually I was able to get help and got well but the transformation this experience triggered became a turning point of my life. I originally turned to Orthodox Christianity as a religious tradition I was born into. However over time I realized that my spiritual needs could not be met within the confines of just one religion. I started studying other religions namely Buddhism, Hinduism and pre-Christian beliefs of my Slavic ancestors. Unfortunately my family at that time was not supportive of my spiritual practices but it was not possible to reverse or stop this process completely. That family eventually fell apart and in the past year or so I have enjoyed the freedom to rediscovering myself spiritually. I have always felt that I was different from most other people. Sometimes I had foreknowledge of certain things or premonition dreams. Or my ancestors that passed would visit me in my sleep and talk to me or ask me to help or intervene in regards to my relatives. Or something I really wished for would come true. I prayed and asked for guidance over the years and now after I joined this community I feel like my prayers have been answered. So glad to be here with you all. And a huge thank you to Matthew for adding me!

Share with me your opinion about working with allies or source. People ask me, why do you work with so many guides and Ascended Masters when you can just work with source? For me, i love working with so many different personalities because they reflect all the parts of me and my soul. For me, its about loving the creation aspect of this work and feeling all types of love from amazing individuals ❤️.

For those in the prayer circle last night, guess what Facebook is showing me in marketplace this morning... I wish I could say this is magic... but it's the algorithm! @Matthew Bueno @Ariel Yin @Craig Florek @Linda Wilson

What's the reason in your own experience, that you cannot connect to your spirit guides?

@Ariel Yin's share of Katy Perry yesterday made me want to share a song and video that popped up for me on Tuesday. I would love it if everyone would share music that is speaking to them right now in this thread!!
