My Awakening Story….
Monique Chávez, MHt
“When I was in high school I had a friend who called me a witch because I just knew things. I didn’t dare call myself psychic but my spidey senses were definitely up! Oftentimes, I could pick up the phone and know exactly who was on the other end (this was before caller ID!) Or....we could be on our way to a party and before we arrived I would turn the car around, much to my friend’s dismay, because somehow I knew something bad was about to happen. A day later we would learn that there was a shooting at that party.
It was my perception at the time, that 100% of the intuition that came in for me was about something bad. I didn’t have anyone to speak to, or help me develop these “psychic” abilities. And it was the prediction of my friend’s baby dying that these psychic experiences became too much for me to handle. It was then that I told the Universe, or whoever was listening, that I didn’t want this anymore. I didn’t want to continue having visions of bad things happening to the people I cared about the most. And if I couldn’t see anything good, then I didn’t want this ability anymore. The good news is, although my friend’s baby was born premature with a heart condition and needed surgery, thankfully he lived.
Years would go by where my premonitions and psychic skills would lay dormant, however, I still had the ability to listen and tune into the Universe. It was these whispers that let me know everything was working out as it should, and kept me on my path, which lead me to all things energy work including Reiki, Soul Empowering Hypnosis®, and Sacred Depths® Coaching.
In my early 30’s I started to feel the presence of beings near me. They weren’t ghosts, per se, but rather the spirits of the unborn children of my friends. This was the kind of happy news I would much prefer to deliver to a friend! Soon thereafter, I would learn about pre-birth planning (how we choose our parents and map out our life's plan before we are born), and eventually experience my first past life regression….
I remember waking up in the middle of the night in tears. I thought I was awakened by a bad dream, but it felt like my subconscious was telling me (or reminding me), that I had definitely planned my life. I was shown snapshots of different experiences in my life all the way back to childhood. I was finally able to see all the pieces of the puzzle of my life fit together. All those little things that didn't make sense finally did. All I could do was cry myself back to sleep in gratitude for this profound experience and inner knowing.
It’s because of this discovery and new way of communicating with my spirit team that I trusted and became more attuned to the whispers of the Universe. And when I honored my spirit team by acting on their messages, the more magic began to unfold in my life! Oftentimes, spiritual pursuits are considered impractical or inaccessible....yet when we take the time and courage to examine our inner realms we find value in our true nature, and more understanding of Who, and more specifically What we are. In understanding ourselves fully, a confidence grows from within, and we no longer seek the validation or opinions of others. It's not only valuable, but important to be able to witness ourselves as the magical beings that we are....beings of pure Infinite & Unconditional Love! “
