11 Things About Christina …
1. What was your first moment of ‘beyond 3d normal awakening’?
I am clairsentient and had my first experiences as a small child. In the 1970s/1980s, we had long shag carpet at our house and I would lose my jewelry and barrettes in the carpet. I would close my eyes and scan my hands over the carpet. When my hands got hot, I would open my eyes and there would be the lost item. I also had precognitive dreams and déjà vu as a teenager, in which something in my dreams would play out exactly 100% the same in real life the next day.
2. Who is your favourite teacher, book and movie?
Stan Grof MD, PhD, the founder of the field of Transpersonal Psychology is my favorite teacher and author! In 2009 I decided to go back to school to get my PhD in Clinical Psychology (I had a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology at the time). One of the classes I decided to take was Holistic Psychology. The main textbook for the class was Psychology of the Future by Stan Grof. This book blew my mind and changed my life and my whole trajectory. I changed my PhD from Clinical Psychology to Health Psychology (Mind/Body Psychology) after taking this class. Then I went on to take additional training in Transpersonal Psychology after my PhD. In 2012, I went to California to do a weekend retreat with Stan Grof and have taken a number of classes with him since including Holotropic techniques, Psychonautics, Spiritual Emergencies, and Archetypal Astrology. The coolest class I ever took with Stan Grof was a Transpersonal Psychology class dissecting the artwork of H.R. Giger (the famous biomechanical artist whose art was featured in all the Aliens movies). Giger also happens to be my favorite artist. In regard to movies, I love Inception, the Matrix movies, and the Underworld Movies. I love the darker side of human nature in art, music, tv shows, and movies and fully embrace our shadow selves. I love science fiction and anything with witches, vampires, zombies, apocalyptic themes, psychic abilities, time travel, and mind-bending concepts.
3. What’s the strangest experience you’ve ever had?
I have had a whole bunch of mystical experiences. I believe the impossible is possible! The one that impacted me the most was when my grandfather had a major stroke and was on life support in the hospital. I was in the hospital room when they disconnected him from life support. All of a sudden the door to his hospital room opened and no one physical was there, but I felt a large energy presence move past me, his heart monitor started beeping as he had flatlined and died, the energy moved past me again and then the door shut. I believe I experienced my ancestors and loved ones coming to greet him and take his soul to the afterlife. I was never the same after and deep dove into spirituality. I still tear up when I think about this as it was such a powerful experience.
4. What’s one interesting thing we do not know about you yet?
I have been clean and sober since May 1, 2005! Over 20 years! I struggled with drugs and alcohol, depression and anxiety in my late teens into my early 20s. On April 30, 2005 I went to a Beltane Celebration and got so intoxicated that I had a near death experience and almost died. After several years of self-exploration and spiritual study, I believe I had a walk-in experience (a soul swap). I had been court ordered to drug and alcohol treatment and had tried group counseling and treatment previously and it did not work for me. But whatever metaphysical experience I had the last day I ever drank changed me at the soul level. My own experience has taught me that we can heal from our deepest wounds and that anyone and everyone can heal if they really want to.
5. What do you feel your true life purpose to be?
I think we can have several purposes. Sometimes we accomplish one and then the universe throws another one at us as we are always evolving and growing. Up until a few years ago I thought my life purpose was to normalize psychic abilities and connecting like-minded people with each other. Then the universe had me do a complete 180 degree turn into the path of deathcare. I knew that was my end game, but I got there a lot quicker due to some serendipitous events. I feel like my true life purpose is working with the dead in all its many forms….communicating with spirits, crossing spirits over, facilitating funerals, placing what remains of our mortal life in a final resting place. Destigmatizing death and dying. We all die. There is nothing to be afraid of. It’s a natural part of the cycle of life. The soul is immortal, and energy can never die. We move on to other realms and reincarnate and there is life after death!
6. What’s your favourite animal?
Dogs of course! My two dogs are Delphi and Zephyr! I also have a black cat named Déjà vu. I also had another black cat named Vespertine that recently passed on to the spirit world. I also absolutely love crows and foxes.
7. What’s your favourite consciousness or energy ‘exercise’ that helps you stay connected, grounded and ‘tuned in’ in a good way?
“Release and Recover.” Every night before bed (or when I feel anxious, ungrounded, or yucky energy) I scan my aura for energy that does not belong to me. Energy that others sent to me consciously or unconsciously, or energy I took on consciously or unconsciously. I then release it and send it back to where it came from. I then recover my energy. I call all the bits and pieces of my energy that others have taken or that I have given away back to me to be integrated back into my aura and energy field. I then surround myself with white light to clean and cleanse my energy and then I shield myself to protect my aura. I have a ceremonial/high magick background and also really like to use the LBRP (lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram) when I encounter really heavy big energy.
8. What’s your favourite music / song / musical artist?
I love darker and heavier dance music, electronic music, and industrial music. I am a former club kid and raver and love to dance and lose myself in the bass and beats. A night out dancing every so often is so good for my soul!
9. What’s your favourite food?
I love Japanese food, Thai Food, and Indian Food! The spicier the better! I also love condiments and think sriracha mayo and yum yum sauce are the most incredible things ever created. LOL
10. What excites your creative juices?
Nature and the outdoors inspire me, especially traveling the world to see beauty beyond words. The ocean, sunrise, sunset, clouds, the Northern Lights, plants, trees, flowers, animals, the mountains, waterfalls, caves. So incredible! I love nature photography and consider myself a botanical artist. I am a natural perfumer creating blends from flowers and plants parts. I also create jewelry from flowers. I also find music really opens the doorway to creativity and inspiration.
11. What’s the one thing you’d like to “shamelessly self promote” here today?
I LOVE to learn, read, write, and teach! I am definitely an intellectual and embrace my nerdy self. I teach classes on a whole wide variety of topics including gardening, herbalism, psychic development, divination, shadow work, energy work, the chakras, meditation, death and dying, dreamwork, witchcraft, astrology, and spirituality. I have 100s of online, on-demand, downloadable classes available for purchase on my website: https://mindsoulandself.com/classes/
