Spirituality has always played a major part in my life since 1994 when I first read the amazing book by James Redfield, "The Celestine Prophecy." Since that moment, I have been involved in reading and researching vast quantities of spiritual literature from all over the world. The book "woke" me up to exploring the invisible side of life that since then, I have felt and seen proof that it exists!
