My name is Chyina, or Chy for short (pronounced like the country China), and yes it is my real name. ;) I just thought I'd share a little about myself with all of you.
I grew up in a very strict United Pentecostal Christian church, and when I was a child I always felt that there was something wrong with it. Not with the teachings of Christ, but with the way it was being presented. I began at a young age (often in secret) to explore other beliefs and practices. Over the years I have studied many different religions and teachings, from the obscure to the well-known. Today I do not consider myself any one thing, but rather a mixture of many different elements that I find truth and harmony in.
I am descended from Native American, German, English and African. I grew up in Michigan, USA, but currently live in Queensland, Australia. I am married to a wonderful soul companion, but currently have no children, though would like them one day. I am a visual artist, writer, jewellery crafter, photographer, singer, play the piano and alto sax, and a deep lover of nature and animals.
I have been shown, told, and now believe that I have two animal guides, which for many beliefs, is rare. What do you think?
I am open-minded, and will except all others, even if I do not always agree with them. ;) I feel we are all connected, whether it is spiritually or naturally. Our lives affect things around us, even if unintentionally. As such we should all love and except one another, even if it's only based on the fact that we are all living creatures, great and small.
I have a few psychic abilities and spiritual powers, as does my mother. Though I am not sure of the rest of family, as they were mostly very strict Christians. So even if they felt they had these types of abilities I highly doubt they would have ever said anything about it.
I have a decent knowledge involving Tarot, crystals, Mojo Bags, Healing Touch, with a sprinkling of this and that thrown in for good measure. I have not traditionally spell casted in about 20 years, though I am looking to reawaken many long dormant talents.
I feel that each of us can never know so much that we have no need for new learnings. Although some of us close our eyes and minds to the idea that there is far more for us to explore. The opportunities for new teachings come to us until our last breath is taken, if we only have the courage to take them on.
I do not, at this stage, directly teach, however I am willing to give aide and advice where and when it is needed and/or asked for.
Feel free to friend me, ask questions, or simply to talk.
Peace Be With You,
Chy
