Hello, I’m Emily Rose

Understanding & translating spirit didn’t aways come naturally.  Looking back, those gifts were always there, waiting for me to remember & embrace them, but if someone had told me a decade ago that I would become a channel for loved ones, guides, & masters, I would have chuckled with disbelief. I have had no formal training, at least not in this realm of channeled messages, but my path to become Reiki practitioner at the age of 20 is what set me on the road to becoming a channel.

I was born into a devoutly Christian family, with a belief system that didn't allow for practices like magick, meditation, mediumship or intention setting. My grandmother didn’t allow you to say “darn’et” & dang’et” because they are curse words & although we were all Christian, everyone had their own branch of belief structures, some more against the mold that others (my parents always had some wavering, even if just a thread), but overall every holiday had prayer, everyone went to church on Sundays, & EVERYONE believed in our one & only god.

At the age of 10, my parents & I converted to Catholicism, which the rest of our family had a huge problem with, ya know, not being the “right” kind of Christian & all. This started to unravel our little household. My dad started exploring Buddhism & spiritual eclecticism, diving into the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh & my mom got really into feminism. I honestly fell in love with the church, well at least our congregation. There were so many rituals, & the stories went from every pastors induvial interpretation of the bible to something constant from church to church. Fun fact, did you know that you could go to mass anywhere in the woold and the Sunday sermon would be the same? Yeah, I loved the consistency of ritual, but by the time I was 20 I had stopped attending Mass & was no longer a practicing Catholic. My parents didn’t take it “not” well? They treaded a fine line of wanting me to choose my own path, while also wants my soul to be saved. Little did they know I had started to study paganism, & when I attended Christmas Mass with my parents for the first time in years, & boy was I blown away… It was all fucking witch Craft folks. From the kneeling & standing, to the BLOOD & BODY of Christ… I was floored.  It was an eye-opening experience that explained why I had always been drawn to the rituals of the Catholic Church. I loved the rituals, the stories, & the connection to something ancient, but it wasn't about the religion; it was about spirituality.

Over the next four years, my world unfolded; the gifts I had grew stronger. I knew things about people & about how things would unfold before they happened. Trusting & communicating these insights was a big challenge for two reasons; One, I didn’t trust myself & two, I was surrounded by people who remained comfortable within their belief systems & were not aligned with my path at the time. All the while this is happening, my parents also started to break free from their parents' shadow. My dad let go of all religious dogma after a profound meditation where he had a chat with Kuan Yin & My mom, although still identifying as Catholic, became deeply spiritual, & we began discussing energy, tarot, & other spiritual topics  on a regular basis. 

Now, let's fast forward three more years (by this point I’m 27). After years of practicing energy work, I went to a practitioner for a Reiki session. To my astonishment, she spoke during the session. DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD CHANEL & COMMUNICATE DURING A SESSION?! I had no idea! Until that moment, I thought sessions were supposed to be conducted in silence. It’s because of this incredible women, I granted myself permission to channel during sessions & to speak about what I was receiving. In my Alchemy Program, Immersion Retreat & Spiritual guidance sessions I receive messages through the mental & physical bodies. As far as interpretation goes, nothing is straightforward, & for clarification, I’ll give an example. When we translate from one language to another, there might not be an exact equivalent for each word; communicating with Spirit is similar. For instance, if my ring finger twitches, I need to discern what it signifies for a specific person. Is it related to a current or past romantic relationship? Does it involve feelings of grief or joy? It's not always straightforward, so I've learned to ask simple questions that guide me, without the client providing excessive details. I’m not always certain about where this journey will lead (often I think I know & it turns out there is something completely different I’m meant to be doing), but I have faith in the co-creation of healing & that spirit will guide me along my journey.
