Have you ever had a thought that arrived from outside your head? It just landed somehow, from somewhere. It’s like an inventor has a vision, or a song writer downloads lyrics. When I connect to another person’s field of awareness, which we call "soul," and it asks it something, it speaks back through me in the form of a stream of downloads. After years of reading for thousands of people, I can confidently say your soul has a search engine function which responds through consciousness. There is an ether net connecting all points in time and space, and any of us can tap into that.

In the beginning, I would often apologize for the messages I received for the client. Eventually, I had to stop, as almost every time people were struck by their truth. One client told me, “Steven, somehow your words penetrate my mind.” As a healer, I can feel viscerally the effect of our actions and psychologies on the body, and where the past events are held. Spiritual teachings say we are living testimony of our past. This record is energetic and conscious, and it wants you to progress on your path by making conscious choices to heal, evolve, awaken - and ultimately, reunite with the Divine Source.

Since my entry into the world of healing and spirituality, which was over 20 years ago, prominent teachers and mystics have told me I have a unique gift. Something very pure and delicate. On the whole, I don’t like talking about myself, but so many people ask me "where did this come from, when did you know and how does it work?". In the summer of 2001 in the humid city of Houston, Texas, I found my 26 year-old self in a long-stay hotel, feeling utterly lost. I had been in America for three days and hated it. I wanted to go home and back to my old life, which was honestly a bit mundane and insignificant. Watching the news, I noticed how different things were presented to the BBC. Out of nowhere, a beautiful voice within me spoke. It literally said, “find out why the message is distorted.” I was floored, and immediately began what became a decades-long search for truth. That message led me to the antiwar movement post-9/11, as well two years of intense research into systems which govern us: revolutionaries and counter-culture. It was the beginning of my spiritual awakening.

Something very intense awoke in me - something that had never expressed itself before. I became passionate, and embodied searching for the meaning of life: why we are here, and what it means to be sovereign beings. However, politics was not for me, and I bailed from the protests. It was time for my healing journey. I grew up in Scotland deeply sensitive and constantly scared of bullies, threats, and intimidations. I love my country of origin, but it was rough for me growing up there in the eighties. Now, in America, I had high anxiety, but now dwelled in a country of can-do, which calls on people to reinvent themselves. I cherish the American idealism and pioneering spirit to solve problems. I believe the collective soul of America drew me in and adopted me spiritually.

My spiritual quest and my intuitive work has found me at the intersection of ancient wisdom being accessible to the public and going mainstream. What was out there and ridiculed in the past moved into a necessary part of our well-being. I spent 10 years running my yoga studio before joining Miraval resorts. As a budding medium seven years ago, they threw me in the deep end, where I began giving reading after reading. Now, I have read for several thousand people and honed my craft thanks to their trust in me.

The search for truth and spiritual union has been my guiding light for 25 years. I found myself in an energy-healing cult as a spiritual warrior and sitting at the feet of a Hindu guru. Even though I was burned badly and abused by nefarious groups, I never stopped searching. In recent years, I found the teachings of 20th century guru Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi. His wisdom and spiritual brilliance have given me a philosophical template of self-realization. My personal path and spiritual family is with Ananda Village, founded by Swami Kriyananda.

Each of us is a soul having a human experience. The soul is a unique expression of the Infinite Spirit and higher intelligence. The soul is an astral body of light and has its own anatomy and follows natural laws just like everything in creation. We all have a blueprint and inner pathway to chart our course and experiment in conscious living. The final reality is eternal conscious bliss and each of us is born to express that through healing old pain, discovering who we are, and awakening to the beautiful expression of life that we are.

I can say with humility that people trust me everywhere I go. I am not perfect and make mistakes of the ego. However, when I sit with someone and tune in, something innate in me comforts them. For that part of me, I am deeply grateful.

The culmination of my work and observation of many people is my new book and wisdom course, Blueprint for Human Flourishing. I believe we are in the mindset of a great awakening and we need a blueprint, a map, and path to truly flourish. I can’t wait to share this teaching with all of you.

Blessings to you,
