My first contact with healing and the power of the consciousness happened when I was a teenager. My grandmother nephew was a radiesthesist, well known in France and Europe, and he was working with a pendulum, analysing with it a blotter impregnated with the person’s salivate, finding the problems and giving homeopathic medicines.
 

When I became 19, I was visiting him very often and we had great talks on consciousness, his view of the universe and I had my first experiences of feeling energy.  He wrote a book in the fifties and the title was “Man or God”. He was saying that we are unlimited beings but we have limited ourselves with our thoughts, programs and we can change that.

I was impressed, but I was thinking he was a non-ordinary being, even if he was saying, you can do the same and wanted to help me to achieve that. At this time, I was not ready to jump in this reality, I was involved in an unhappy movie and was really insecure about who I was. At this time, I was nearsighted and had astigmatism.

One day, he told me that it was the last time we were meeting because he was about to leave his body. I heard it but I didn’t believe it. Some weeks later, I was visiting my parents and they had just received a letter from him. He was saying good-bye to them. I jumped in my car and drove 120 miles to visit him. When I arrived at his home, his family was there; he just died one hour ago. I was shocked.

The following years, I was living in a little town since my childhood and I had nobody to talk about spirituality, I was reading a lot of books about the subject and specially those he had recommended –Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi and Baird Spalding, Life of the Masters in the Far East- but I had no direct experiences, just filling my mind. I was also at this time more involved in the protection of the environment and still unhappy about my life.

In the first months of 1990 - I was selling at this time recycled paper and participating to some fairs for Nature and Health - I met Martin Brofman at a lecture. Some days later, I was participating in a workshop, it was really a big change in my physical body, my vision got healed, and also clarity began to happen in my consciousness and in my life.

At the end of the  year, I was teaching the Body Mirror System and I was realising that I had met what I was supposed to do on this planet.
