This year, 2012, is 20 years since I first connected with an energy from the next world, who gave me his name as Maitreya. In 1992 I was a naive, frightened, and less than confident person who had only been channeling a few years and who was terrified at what she was doing.
As you change within and move toward a better understanding of life, the old way of life that you have had moves away and you start to create a whole new energy.
