My name is Lisa Elen Taylor and I am a Registered Nurse of 29 years, and mother of two young adults and a Welsh Corgi dog named Max. I graduated from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 1984 with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, and have worked since then in different Nursing fields. I currently reside in Flint Township. I grew up in the United Methodist church and am a Christian, but do not attend regular organized religion services. I am following my Spiritual Path. I believe we are here to experience, learn, and love. God is my light and I am grateful to Him for my gift. I promised God that I would use this gift to help people.
I recently came out of the "psychic closet", but have had psychic experiences my whole life. This gift is on both sides of my family and is in my bloodline. I am 1/2 Czechoslovakian, 1/4 French Canadian, and recently learned there is a bit of Cherokee and Irish in there. The rest is Heinz 57.
Some members of my family knew at my birth I was a seer, but chose to "protect" me from it. As a child I knew I was different, but circumstances led me to repress it. Mainly, fear and self-doubt. The month of my 47th birthday, I started having pressing, intense thoughts and dreams about a lost love I had not seen in twenty-five years. The dreams and visions moved me so much, that I contacted a family member of his through Google research, to request his whereabouts (this was not easy for me, trust me!). I was informed that he had passed away a few months before my inquiry. I was grief-stricken and became physically ill, and couldn't eat or sleep. I started "seeing". I didn't understand what was happening and thought I was having a breakdown. I believe now, that we were so connected on a soul level that his passing from this physical plane to SPIRIT triggered me to open to start "seeing" SPIRIT again. At the time, I didn't know where to turn as I knew Western Medicine doctors would label me as psychiatric patient if I sought help. I was very scared, lost, and desperate for help. I needed to know: Why couldn't I sleep? Why did I keep crying? What was I experiencing? What was I seeing and why? And.... was I crazy?
At this point, I must interject, a funny thing about this whole story. I actually thought that going to a psychic and medium, and communicating to the "dead" was a sin! These beliefs were not ingrained from a rigid religious upbringing or family values. It is actually something that was within myself; this fear that psychics are sinful. As I have grown and learned, I believe this fear I had revolves around my own gifts and persecution because of them in a previous lifetime.
An ironic thing happened, which I truly believe was Divine Intervention. I did not read newspapers much, but for some reason I picked up the free local newspaper that came with the mail. It literally opened to a page with an ad for a local psychic. Her name was Lisa too! I made and cancelled 3 appointments with her, before finally meeting with her for a reading (remember, I was so scared and afraid God would think it was a sin). I had a reading with her, and I credit this other psychic, Lisa, in helping me to start walking my path as a psychic medium. (As a side note, names can have synchronicity. It is no coincidence her name is Lisa too, which helped me decide to go to her)
Since then, I have prayed, read, studied, taken classes and worked on my mediumship, and prayed. Did I say prayed? I beleive God gives everyone these gifts, but not everyone believes or wants them. I believe HE gave this gfit to me for a reason, in order to help others. I believe your higher self, soul, spirit, connection to GOD (whatever you call it), already knows on a higher level what YOUR TRUTH is. I beleive as a pyschic medium, I am just here to help validate what you already know, or remind you. You have heard the phrase, the teacherr will come when the student is ready. I believe the same is true with messages. Spirit will bring the message when the receiver is ready. I am very blessed to see my Spirit Guide, and work with him. He is my Guardian Angel and is helping me, to help you. He jokingly calls himself, "Christopher Robin". There is synchronicity in this name too, but I will leave that for a chapter in my book! ;) I also work with my Council of Elders, other Spirit Guides, Ancestors (Native American and Slavic), and Spirit/Power Animals. I also have had many teachers and have learned from all of them, whether good or bad. I am grateful for all of them.
The reason I have told my story in such detail, is that I feel there are others who may benefit from my experience. Others who are now being "triggered" and starting to "see" things, and don't understand what is happening.
Final Thought: Whether you get a reading from me or someone else, or never get a reading, always ALWAYS remember this:
Shine Your Light :),
