Spiritual Awakening 101 Guide
Hello everyone, welcome to our Spiritual Spotlight series. Today I am joined by Melissa Griffin. She is an author. Her latest book is called Validation of a Healer what you want you should believe. I had to read that over again in my head. I was like, oh, I like that. What you want you should believe. I totally agree with you. That is a quote by Amayan Indian Spirit. Her book is about her spiritual journey from childhood to adulthood, where she experienced spiritual counters, permanence and healing through mediumship. Thank you so much for being here today. I am so happy to talk all about.
Speaker 2:Validation of a.
Speaker 1:Healer, thank you.
Speaker 2:Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1:So let's just jump right in, ok? Your book Validation of a Healer captures your profound spiritual journey from childhood to adulthood. Can maybe you share a pivotal moment or experience that ignited your path towards mediumship and spiritual healing and how it led to the creation of your book?
Speaker 2:One of the things that I, one of the first experiences, was when I was five years old. I picked up my parents' frictional marriage with not understanding what was going on, and so one of the things that I, one of the premonitions there was, was constant dreams, dreams I didn't understand as a child and I just grew from there and it stemmed into premonitions of my father's death, before he even grew ill and yes, and so it just kept growing and growing and we had a very an experience, my mother and I, and at the time I was having some problems, personal problems, and I used to drive down to go visit her and we would always go to the coast. So we decided to sit in the shoreline. I saw three rays of light at a distance, and she observed the same thing, but we said nothing. We were enjoying the ocean and it was just a great time with her. And so all of a sudden, I'm sitting in the shoreline she's sitting to my left and she. I look up and these three lights I was seeing at a distance all of a sudden merged into one light and only hit me, and she's sitting next to me observing this. I hear a voice, a female voice. I even get a chill even expressing this to you that everything was going to be OK. Well, I didn't say anything.
Speaker 2:We stayed about another 10 minutes in the shoreline and so we got in my car. We were driving to my mother's house and she asked me what happened back there and I said what do you mean? I saw those three rays of light hitting you and only you. I got no light on me, so I told her what happened. And so, after that happened, the three rays of light disappeared and they went off into the ocean and they diminished. So from there she realized that she had a gifted child. When things started happening with, like, for example, my dad before he grew up, I was telling her what was eventually going to happen, and it actually did happen, wow. And so my brother was in probably about a 13-year relationship. I was telling my mother one day in the kitchen that she was going to grow ill, and she looked at me. She says she's young, there's no way. And she did. She ended up passing away. She ended up having leukemia.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:Yes. So those are the kinds of things that have happened to me and fast forwarding. I just I started picking up a lot of things just during the duration of my years into youth and into adult, and I started learning things and I ended up having a medical condition and I reached out to my ancestors. I had never done that. I had heard that that was a very powerful thing to do and that's what I did and my great-great grandfather came forward. He has been with me ever since, so he is teaching me, or he's taught me, some things from what he has experienced. He was a shaman at his time, so I've actually had my mother experience his presence.
Speaker 2:My husband and I just had another interview a couple of weeks ago and the gentleman experienced my grandfather giving him a cleansing spiritually. He was taken back by that. So at this time I'm learning and so I decided to just try and see, maybe have another input at that point, and that's where I decided to go ahead and write the spoke. She encouraged me and the famous psychic, and from here on out I decided to open a business, help people and share my experiences, because I feel that it will help people who have experienced similar experiences like ghosts. I've experienced that I've actually learned how to cross them over to the light, and those are some of the experiences that are mentioned in the book. And there's been some family problems, spiritually speaking, so I've been able to help them out.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's amazing. So let's talk about the guidance that you received from the famous psychic. She played a significant role in unrivalling your spiritual experiences into valuable lessons. How did this mentorship shift your perspective on your own gifts and the purpose of sharing them with the world through your book and now through your work?
Speaker 2:What it was a lot of it had to do with. She inspired me to write this book. I had no plans to do that. I was just told I need for you to write down all these experiences that you've had. I think just write it all down. We're going to analyze it together, and so she realized that there is a lot here to share with the world and to help heal those who have experienced, for example, ghost hauntings, spiritual attachment. I've had experience with that as well, and so I explained to her that, and she told me to continue working with my grandfather and don't stop the legacy there. Continue on his legacy and share with the world what he has to say. He's very knowledgeable, absolutely, and so that's where I'm at at this point.
Speaker 1:So with your book, like you said, it explores spiritual encounters, premonitions and healing through mediumship Can you maybe give us a glimpse of one impactful experience that has helped shaped your understanding of the spiritual realm in your role as a healer One?
Speaker 2:of the most significant examples I have is my. I have a sister-in-law and her mother or her uncle, passed away, and her mom just withdrew from everything family friends she wasn't answering the phone, she wasn't eating and my sister-in-law sister ended up calling me one day and she said I really need your help. And I said, well, okay, what's going on? And so she mentioned that her uncle had passed away and I said, okay, all she gave me was his name. I'd never met the gentleman and I said, okay, I will talk to him and see if there's something that I can perhaps help in healing your mom. So I reached out to him. He shows me what ends up happening to him.
Speaker 2:He was in a shootout at his home and it was fatal for him, and I said well, is there anything that you want me to share with your sister? He said yes. I said okay, because she's having a really difficult time. He said yes, and then he shared with me something that they used to share with each other as kids. So I was writing everything down. He wasn't the type of person that was very talkative. Again, I've never met him. I just wrote down whatever he asked me to do and I wrote it down. And then I called my sister-in-law and sister said okay, here's what he said and here's what happened. And then about a month later we're at a Christmas gathering and my sister-in-law's mom is there, she hugs me and she said no one ever knew that conversation my brother had. That was the conversation we had as kids, not even my kids, my husband. Nobody knew about that and that helped me move on with life and I know that he will always be there with me and I assured her that he would.
Speaker 1:That is and that right there is profound yes, very profound and very cathartic for her to hear that and, like you said, you were able to kind of release her to be able to move forward, like you're not alone in that-.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:You're not alone in that.
Speaker 2:And I was able to move forward. Yes, and it was a healing moment for her and because they were deeply concerned she just apparently had stopped eating and she was just very a lot of pain and understandably that was her brother, of course, yeah, yes, yes, and it also sounds like a traumatic event.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely, it sounds very like oh my goodness, that's wow, yes, and amazing that you were able to be a conduit for this amazing yes.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
Speaker 1:So the quote that I said in the beginning was what you want you should be by a Mayan Indian spirit is thought provoking. How does this quote resonate with your spiritual journey and how has it guided you in your role as a healer and a mentor?
Speaker 2:It has guided me tremendously because I had an Indian comfort. I had never gone to a shamanism group before, and they do. They go through like a drumming stage and meditative stage, and so first the meditation they stage the group around us, we relax and then they start drumming. Well, while everybody was with their eyes closed, I had my eyes closed and I saw this Indian dressed in white, with all these feathers, and I opened my eyes and I thought okay, what is going on? What is this? It was my first time that I had journeyed. It's called journeying. Indians do that, and so I closed my eyes. They started journey and, of course, shaman said we're gonna do this. He instructed us, because a lot of us, it's a standard thing for him to explain the process.
Speaker 2:So I ended up journeying and we did discuss initially what, why we were there. I was there to see my dad. My dad had already passed away and so and I did, I did. I felt like I was traveling right above the ocean. There was a full moon, I arrived on a cliff and I saw that same Indian where I was meditating and he comes over to me and he said what you want, you should believe, and I had heard an eagle right above me.
Speaker 2:At that time. I looked and my dad was there. So I ran to him and I embraced him and he was dressed in white and we were talking and having a great time and then, before I knew it, it was time to return. So at that point I knew that there was something significant with that, that I was had an Indian, I don't know, a spirit, spiritual guide and we went into the discussion around the circle and I explained to the shaman this is what happened to me. This isn't the first time that I've been in your class and he said it sounds like there's some Indian. Do you have Indian in front of the family? And I said yes, mayan. He said there's a good chance that that's a spirit guide within the family.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's perp, so let's talk about that. So your spiritual work involves collaborating with angels and Mayan ancestors. So, how do these spiritual entities influence your approach to healing and mentorship, and how have they contributed to the unique energy and perspective you bring to your clients and your students, and even to your own healing? It sounds like.
Speaker 2:Yes, well, it depends on the situation, on the problem. I make the determination based on my intuition on what kind of healing the person is needing at that time. I will use Mayan techniques, and what that is is. We use what is called a holy stick, and so there are holy herbs that I have purchased that we use for healing.
Speaker 1:That's cool.
Speaker 2:Yes, and so our all use sage, but typically we use what is called a Mayan stick and we just light it and we start from the crown of the person and we do some healing Now again, it all depends what kind of healing work the person needs.
Speaker 1:Now, are they in person, or can you do this remotely?
Speaker 2:I can do both. Okay, I've actually I have done remote healing before.
Speaker 1:Yeah Now. So, like you said, you open up your intuition, you connect with the person and you're able to bring in exactly what they need. And then you can. I've never heard that, I'm sorry. The healing stick I've never heard that before. That's interesting and so you infuse that. Is it like a standard thing that you always use, or do you infuse different herbs into it depending on the client? It?
Speaker 2:depends. It depends on the situation. I use my intuition on what the person is needing. I didn't know that what I was doing was remote viewing. I can actually do that as well. Okay, and so a lot of again. My abilities stem from my indecent, and in my book it's mentioned by the famous psychic that I'm from a past life. I'm more of a grandmotherly type to my grandfather, and so that's why we work very well together. He has arrived spiritually speaking. If I ask him to assist in healing and his method of healing, he will sing in Mayan, and I didn't know that that's what they did until I asked my mom, because I was explaining to her the things that he was teaching me, and she said, yes, they do sing in Mayan as part of the healing and yes, they do use the holy stick for that.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's interesting. So now that you've discovered this past life, have you merged that aspect of that past life within your soul for now, like, have you brought her forward to be able to open up more of your abilities in your talents?
Speaker 2:It's instilled in me. I am part of her, so we work very well together, my grandfather and I, so we've actually done remote healing. He will arrive spiritually and I can actually do that as well. It's kind of difficult to explain how I can do that, but we've actually gone and done healing work and I've actually got feedback from one person who has said that yes, I did feel something behind my neck and my grandfather's will sometimes use herbs to do some healing.
Speaker 1:What kind of healings? When a client's coming to you, what usually do you have a typical like? Because I know that you work with gifted students to help them along their journey to become more attuned to their gifts. You do cross souls and you do spiritual claring. You have an arsenal of tools.
Speaker 2:Yes, so I've had one student that I mentored at this time. Eventually I will. My plan is to travel around the world to educate people and perhaps do some healing if they need it. But yes, we do different types of things like that.
Speaker 1:Because it sounds like you've also do like medical intuition.
Speaker 2:Yes, I didn't even know I had that in me until my mentor, the psychic, mentioned that to me, that that is something that it's going to open up. With my abilities I can just read somebody. I look at their body and I can pretty much focus and I have a vision of where their pain is. And a lot of times what happens? People don't realize that the pain is stemmed more emotionally speaking, and that's what happens. And a lot of times I don't realize that that's where it's coming from.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, that's. I love how visual you are, like it's it's really nice to hear, like the the beautiful picture that comes along with the healing Like it's so interesting. So let's talk about your business, the Mayan Spirit, which you can look at that online, mayansperitorg. That's an impressive endeavor. Can you walk us through the vision and offerings of your business and how it aligns with your mission to help people along their spiritual journeys?
Speaker 2:One of the things that I, one of the reasons I named my company, Mayan Spirit is and I didn't know this firsthand.
Speaker 2:When it's when you have a Mayan Spirit, you have a connection through a guide or an animal, and so my connection is my grandfather. So I had opened this business to help people and receive that spiritual guidance. And so it. You know, when I look it up now, what Mayan Spirit is. It actually defines exactly what falls under what I'm trying, what I've been doing with my grandfather, which is have that spiritual connection and that enables me to have that healing part of you know, for people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2:Thank you so and you offer.
Speaker 1:Tell us a little bit about the services that you offer for clients that are seeking you out.
Speaker 2:I will do spiritual cleansings. I have the ability to a person can give right, give me a name, I will write it down and I can pick up their energy and explain what kind of person that is. And so, for example, if that person is trustworthy, I had one person ask me well, you know I'm involved with this person and she really didn't really need to mention his name at all. You know, that's another ability that I have that I can pretty much see. I pick up the person's energy pretty much, and so I've had experience with spiritual attachments and I can cross-bear it. So I've actually done that as well. Yeah, but yes, it's a variety of things that I can possibly help with.
Speaker 1:That is amazing. So your book again Validation of a Healer. If anyone is interested in picking up a copy of that book, where can they pick it up at?
Speaker 2:It's on Amazon, okay, amazon, yes, and the Amazon link is on myinspiritorg, and so there's a book trailer of the story that I mentioned earlier about the three rays of light. That's why I chose that book trailer the way that it is, and it's very I connect so much with that.
Speaker 1:So, yes, I'll make sure to link that spiritual trailer when.
Speaker 2:I post the interview.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you one more question. So for anyone that's going through like they're looking for a higher calling, or maybe they're feeling overwhelmed or confused on their spiritual journey and they're looking for guidance, what is a piece of advice that you can give to somebody who's newer to the spiritual path?
Speaker 2:One of the things that I do is I have. I have, I take a hot bath within Rue Rue is a spiritual herb for removing negativity I do cleansings on myself, I will use my holy stick or I will use sage. Most importantly, you must quiet the mind. You have an opportunity to receive a spiritual message, and when the mind chatters, it's very hard to connect with spirit, and so you have to be disciplined with that and as well as create boundaries for spirits, because if you don't create boundaries, you will literally have an open door for all of them, which I literally did have.
Speaker 2:That at one point, all of them were around me because they were confused and they were scared and they knew that I could possibly help them. So what I did is I created a white light from the heavens and I called two angels to help them and guide them up to the heavens. A lot of them, like I said before, they're pretty much lost. But, more importantly, quieting the mind, setting boundaries, meditating and to me as a child, I didn't know that I was doing this you can touch a tree and actually receive the energy from the tree, because it's a grounded tree, and so I used to do that as a child, but I also do that as an adult, and showing gratitude is more important in this line of work 100% agree with you.
Speaker 1:That was beautiful advice, Melissa. I wanna thank you so much for coming on the Spiritual Spotlight series. You are a wealth of knowledge and thank you so much for sharing your story.
Speaker 2:Thank you for having me.
