On March 3rd 2007, Saturday I attended a workshop about Angels in Ancona, Italy, held by Susan and Joanna.

It was the very first time for me nevertheless I felt immediately at ease.

We did meditation exercises, exercises in couples. In one of these exercise we were asked to feel the Aura of another participant, actually I managed to perceive for the first time the presence of this “involucro”. I was also surprised to feel a great heat coming from the upper body (near the heart) of my partner ( she was a lady I have met the first time on that day). Later I came to know she is a very spiritual woman and engaged in holistic medicine.

At the workshop I decided to have 2 aura photos, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the workshop. It was a great idea, in fact I was able to see a difference in the colour of the aura due to the changes caused by the meditation activity I did that day..

The description of Archangels made by Joanna was very impressive especially about Uriel and Raphael who were unknown to me till that day.

March 4th 2007 Sunday

It was the day after the workshop. In the morning I found a white feather in a place absolutely unexpected of my flat. I smiled as I remembered that Joanna had explained to us that Angels may leave a sign of their presence in this way. As I spotted the white feather I did believe that this was a sign and in a loud voice I said “Thank you, I know you are here”

After lunch my husband asked me to accompany him for a short motor bike trip just to avoid “the battery run down” I had accompanied him hundreds of times without any problems but on that day I felt something bad, I perceived a bad sensation and at the beginning I declined his invitation. But he had insisted a lot so that at the end I accepted to avoid disappointing him.

When we were in the garage I siad loudly (and I also did not know why I was speaking loudly) “Today I put my integral helmet because I want to be protected” that day weather was nice and generally I would have chosen the opened helmet and not the integral one.

Further I made a silent prayer in these words “ Archangel Raphael you that protect the voyagers, please protect me that I am going on this bike”. It was the first time that I prayed before going on bike.

After short time we had an accident, the first one in so many years, we got wounds that now have become scars but not any broken bones (a miracle if you think that the bike was totally destroyed).

The visor of my helmet (instead of my face) was completely scraped, I shuddered at this sight thinking of the escaped plastic surgery

The following day I was quite suffering at home for the wounds and the skid on the asphalt when I found again a white feather and I thanked from the bottom of my heart. I thought of this discovery as a sign of encouragement in fact as you may imagine my mood was very blue.

I stayed few days at home during which I read Susan’s book “Out of the shadows”

One afternoon I was sitting reading the book when I realized a sort of mist or steam inside the room. I could not understand what was going on. For a moment I thought my glasses were dirty or misted up for some reason, on the contrary my glasses were perfectly clean, this phenomena lasted a very short time maybe a couple of minutes. I kept on reading and you may imagine how much I was startled when I came to the point where Susan explains that this kind of fog is a sign of “presences”

September 21st 2007 Friday

On that day I met again Susan and Joanna at a dinner during another visit to Italy. They asked me how I was going on since last meeting. I told them about the recent death of my father-in-law, an entrepreneur who was very dear to me. I didn’t give too much explanation about the event, I just expressed my sincere sorrow for the passed beloved. At a certain moment we heard some knocks. Joanna told me that Giovanni –my father in law- was there and was insisting to talk to Carlo and Aldo. I said that Carlo was one of the sons (my brother-in-law) but that I have never heard of Aldo. Later I came to know Aldo was a person working in the same company with him and his son, Later I also managed to understand why my father-in-law was trying to contact his son though me. Then he added more things that have struck me as it was his “style”, his manners, it was really him.

Joanna on that evening besides Giovanni also saw a woman in spirit who was keeping her hands on my shoulders. I felt it was my mother. She appeared to be worried for something and wanted to talk to me. Unfortunately other guests came and the contact was stopped.

The following day I felt again a strange bad sensation, of a ranger but this time I obeyed to my intuition. While I was driving my bike to the office I was very careful and paid the greatest attention to the traffic, I especially reduced my usual speed. When I reached the roundabout in front of my office I decided to slow down till stopping, one car that was supposed to give way to me did not stop at all and passed in front of me at a crazy speed. I understood that if I had driven as usually I would have died on the spot. In that moment I received an evident sensation of relief and I felt very deeply inside that this was the danger waiting for me and that I had been lucky to escape it.
