Everything that comes from love is a miracle.
A COURSE IN MIRACLES
Ill never forget the first time I physically saw my guardian angel. I was just 20 and had put all my spiritual work behind me. All the books, tarot cards and crystals had been placed into boxes and stored away.
I had been doing professional psychic readings since the age of 16 and it had been getting too much. Being recognized as the youngest medium in the UK had been exciting at first, but as the years had passed it had become more of a burden than a gift.
Though I was only a teenager, I had been spending most of my time with middle-aged women or helping people with their problems. I felt as though I had a role, purpose and reason to help people, but I also felt unbalanced. I would experience the most unusual things. Id be reading for a woman who was going through the menopause, for example, and Id be feeling the heat! I would literally sit and have a hot flush with or even for her. It was not attractive! Id also experience the most challenging of situations, from how people had passed away to the grief of those who felt left behind. Id counsel people through their divorce. I was overwhelmed. I needed a break.
I discussed the situation with my mum and we agreed it was time to stop. I thought about going to college and my dad suggested studying music production. I went on to do so, and afterwards I worked for a while at Glasgow airport and then went on to work in a four-star hotel as an events coordinator while DJing on the side.
I loved my work in the hotel, but it definitely had its challenges. I remember about six months into the position feeling that I needed to stop bitching, blaming people and contributing to negativity. The famous quote Be the change you want to see kept going through my head and I knew it was there for a reason. I wasnt the most challenging of people, but I certainly wasnt demonstrating love to the best of my ability.
I remember going to bed that night and digging out an angel book. I lay under the covers and began to read it. I got really engrossed reading about the divine beings that I had always seen, heard or felt when I was reading the cards for people. Then, as I turned one of the pages, a pure white feather fell from the book and landed on my chest. After that it was as if everything was happening in slow motion. My room lit up with the most serene golden light and more lights began to arch over my bed, looking like the outline of what I can only describe as angelic beings. I remember feeling loved, feeling safe and falling asleep knowing that we werent the only beings in the universe
The next morning I was woken by the alarm ringing on my phone. I was used to turning it off automatically, but that day I opened my eyes and looked at the phone. It was 7 a.m. I turned the alarm off and put the phone back on my bedside table. Then, as I looked down to the side of the bed in preparation for swinging myself out, I suddenly realized there was a man standing there looking at me. He was nearly seven foot tall and the double of Barack Obama. I shook my head, thinking I was still half-asleep, and blinked a few times. He was still there.
I felt as if I knew him, but I didnt know why. Im not going to lie my logical mind was thinking What the heck is going on here? Meantime my body just froze in awe of this magnificent being. His eyes were like fire; it was as if I was gazing into a furnace of light. And he was gazing back, just gazing into my whole being. I couldnt help but feel love. But I didnt have a clue what he wanted with me and I was late again, so I got up, went for a shower and hoped that when I got back hed be gone.
I remember walking back into my bedroom with a towel wrapped around my waist and he was still there. This time I had a better look at him. He was simply standing there wearing armour. It was a metallic suit that fitted tightly to his body. Wow. Youd think superhero when you saw it.
Superhero or not, I decided that he wasnt watching me get dressed, so I did all of that in the bathroom and went to start my day.
When I got to the office that day I didnt tell anyone what Id seen. I didnt want people to think Id lost my mind. More importantly, what did he want with me? I knew that when things like this happened there was something more to them. I really do believe that spiritual experiences happen for a reason and always for our greater good.
Just before lunch my mobile phone began to ring. My boss said to me, Will you turn that thing off? but I was intrigued. It was a private number and I thought it could be a DJing opportunity, so I said I would take the call outside the office.
When I answered I was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice of a woman who worked for the Scottish Sun.
Is this Kyle Gray the psychic?
I replied quite abruptly, Well, I used to be, but not any more
She seemed shocked. What do you mean, used to be? Isnt this a gift? Im calling you with regards to a new columnist position. We were wondering if youd be interested in having an interview.
Im not going to lie: I wasnt interested and I definitely made my resistance clear. But after a few more phone calls and asking my mum, I decided to give in and go for a chat.
So its a week later and Im running late (again), this time for my interview at the Scottish Sun.
Senior journalist Yvonne met me and settled down to ask me about my life. She was a friendly woman, in her fifties, slim and blonde, with glasses on her head that she flipped on to write and off to speak. She was interested in my work and I felt she was warm and caring. I could see her aura (the energy surrounding every living thing) sparkling and there was the light of an angel around her. As she sat there, the spirit of a cat walked in and sat on her lap. I didnt say anything, but made a mental note of it.
