Shelly Wilson: Healer of Hearts

Shelly Wilson: Hearing those words spoken to me, I literally had the cartoon light bulb “Ah-ha” awakening moment. As with many other people, I know now that I was born during this period of time for a purpose. A few months after the reading, I took my first Reiki class. I like to say, “Reiki opened the door, and I walked through it.” Not only did it give me confidence, but my psychic abilities became more apparent. My first mediumship class was with Lisa Williams in November 2010, and the rest, shall we say is, history. Since then, I have also studied with James Van Praagh, John Holland and Tony Stockwell as well as developing with Spirit. To clarify, I utilize the term Spirit when I refer to our angels, guides and loved ones on the Other Side. As an Intuitive Medium, I have quickly realized that my purpose extends further than offering immediate answers as I believe I am supposed to assist others with their transformation by providing tools for people to access the information for themselves.

OMTIMES: What was it like? Were you accepted by your family and immediate community?

Shelly Wilson: As I pause to respond to your question, specifically the second portion. I have to say I was eager and excited to step fully into my passion. I live in Oklahoma and was quite conscious of what those around me would think. I couldn’t just let my “freak flag fly,” so to speak. I quickly realized who shared the same belief system as I did as well as how much religions do play a role in our lives. I was raised Baptist, and my dad is a Civil Engineer. These two words speak volumes to many. When my book, Journey into Consciousness, came out, the relationship with many of my family members shifted. To be honest, I used to really be affected by what others think or how they perceive me. I’m human, so it does still affect me from time to time. What matters most is that I love and accept myself and the path I have chosen to follow.
