Anthony’s Story
I always knew I had the ability to sense and feel things that others couldn’t for as long as I can remember. Raised in a small town, our house was built over a cemetery and it was these lurking spirits who called to me as a boy. Without an understanding of who and what was “knocking,” I retreated and spent my childhood in fear of this unknown world. That fear left me closed to the Spiritual Realm until the second half of my life.
Raised as an Italian Catholic, I’ve always identified with the cross, however I somehow felt that it was more connected to being Italian than Catholic. Today, I wear a yin yang pendant made of black onyx and pyrite, a cross and a pagan circle which should give you an idea of where I sit today. It wasn’t until my thirties and forties that I dabbled in other spiritual paths, including Buddhism, Wiccan, meditation and yoga, the latter two of which are still an integral part of my life.
Living in the Bronx, I always felt like I was on guard, so much so that I trained as a martial artist across a number of disciplines, including Kung Fu and Chinese Kempo. I felt isolated from my Soul’s Purpose and it took neurological pain to wake me up to what I was meant to do in this lifetime. The extraordinary pain led me to specialists, depression and soul searching.
It was yoga and meditation which introduced me to a different reality and way of life, one which was driven by light and deeper meaning. Later on, I saw my martial arts training as a gift, not just as a way to protect myself, but as a path which taught me about honor, integrity, discipline and faith.
Meeting my twin soul Renee opened me up even further to a path of love and light, although at the time, I didn’t know what a twin soul was or that souls are connected and on a journey of learning and teaching together…in the spiritual realm and on the earth plane.
Spirit broke me wide open after moving to California, teaching Renee and I night after night about our Soul’s Purpose together and how to lead, teach and heal. I’ve learned that the key is true surrender to Spirit (divine love) and once I stopped resisting, my channeling abilities began to flourish and my neuropathic pain disappeared. When we’re out of alignment and not living our soul’s purpose, it can manifest in physical or emotional pain or even worse, both. They are connected after all.
With my gift as a pure channel, I allow our Spirit Guides to enter my Soul so unlike mental channelers, Spirit navigates all parts of me, from my limbs to walk and heal to my voice box to speak. While my ability to connect is truly a gift, it is also a choice –- think of it as a symbiotic and gracious relationship between human and spirit. The Ascended Masters who work with and through Renee and I are of pure love, joy and light and this is what we wish to bring to others in our work.
Renee’s Story
As an empath, I always felt people’s pain and sadness but thought that somehow everyone was made that way. A deep yearning to cry for and with people as they processed their daily load, it wasn’t until later in life that I understood and embraced my clairsentient and claircognizant abilities. In my twenties and thirties, I gravitated to what felt like never ending personal growth, spiritual events and teachings — from Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra to Pema Chodron, Esther Hicks, Rumi and Eckhart Tolle, I devoured them all.
Despite being raised working class in the Northeast, where abundance always took a back seat, my life was blessed. Although abandoned at one and raised by my grandparents, they embraced and raised me like their own, passing on their biggest gifts: awareness, love, gratitude and fearlessness.
While there’s no shortage of shadows and trauma in my family history, part of that chaos led to experiencing multiple religions early on in life. I was baptized Episcopalian, Methodist, Lutheran and Baptist, sent to private Catholic school and lived on a kibbutz in Israel in my late teens.
The nomad approach to spirituality ultimately led to a nomadic life as I traveled to 90 countries and lived in 11. In addition to living abroad and leading trips to some pretty profound places, I was forever hungry for knowledge and ancient wisdom, which led to studying in London, Amsterdam, Greece, Austria, Australia and South Africa. From Anthropology, Philosophy & Sociology to Religions Across Cultures, International Relations and Marketing, I oscillated between exploring outward and going inward to digest each of them.
The result was abandoning all religion until resonating with Buddhism & Paganism more than anything else. Truthfully, it is nature that best guides me and what I return to for renewal again and again. Today, Anthony and I walk the same path, which is none and all of the above, where our primary spiritual guidance revolves around divine love, surrender and oneness.
When I met Anthony, I felt as if I had known him for thousands of years. When he began to trance, our lives dramatically changed. Once concerned that Anthony wouldn’t understand or like my classical and spiritual tracks, vibrationally-charged music began to fill our home daily. New souls were sent to us to teach and guide us and “Spirit” began working through my writing and reading at unprecedented rates. Suddenly, I was churning out 5,000 words in less than an hour and reading five books at a time.
While we both resisted a path of service at first because of the commitment that channeling brings, we began to connect to our Spirit Guides which always led us back to our purpose. when ancient wisdom fills your life on a regular basis, it’s impossible to turn back. These mysterious ‘guides’ teach us about love in a myriad of ways as the path forward — love is what fills us, feeds us and guides us. And so, here we are on a journey of discovery, uncertainty and trust. Committed to serve (and love) is part of that journey.
