MY JOURNEY: From the Philippines to Spiritual Awakening

Hi,my name is Anne.

Anne is not my birth name. It is my baptismal name and the nickname I grew up with back home in my beautiful country the Philippines. The Philippines is rich in culture, faith,family values and tradition. It is a deeply spiritual country and will always be special to me.

From a very young age, I always felt different. I grew up in a dysfunctional home. Despite my parents' difficulties, I was blessed to be surrounded by loving relatives. Until I was sixteen years old, I was practically raised by my great-grandmother, whose love and guidance shaped much of who I am today. Although we lived in poverty, I never felt poor in the ways that truly mattered. I grew up rich in family connections, surrounded by relatives who loved and supported me through difficult times.

As a child, I was imaginative and full of dreams. My mind was constantly creating stories, characters, and entire worlds. Even today, I still dream of writing those stories one day. Those imaginary worlds helped me survive many difficult years. They gave me strength, comfort, and hope when life became overwhelming. I was always drawn to fairy tales, magic, witches, fairies, and stories of the unseen world. Looking back now, perhaps my fascination with those subjects was the first sign that my spiritual journey had already begun.

My First Encounters with the Unseen

When I was around six or seven years old, I became very ill. My mother later told me that during that time I spoke about seeing spirits around me—things that she could not see herself. At the time, I was simply a child describing what I experienced. As I grew older, those experiences faded. However, my sensitivity never disappeared. I remained highly sensitive to people's emotions and energies. I could easily absorb what others were feeling. When life became too overwhelming, I would retreat into solitude to recover. In many ways, I am still that same Anne today.

Dreams, Theatre, and Taking a Leap of Faith

As a teenager, I was bubbly, friendly, and full of dreams. I loved theatre, acting, singing, and dancing. I wanted to become many different things and believed the world was full of possibilities. At nineteen years old, while studying for my Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree majoring in English and Literature, I made a decision that surprised many people. I was only three semesters away from graduating when I decided to leave college and move to Malaysia to work in a hotel. That decision changed my life forever.

Motherhood, Survival, and Finding Strength

In Malaysia, I met my first husband. A little over a year later, I became a mother and entered a completely new chapter of life. Unfortunately, it was not a happy marriage. I became a battered wife. Together we had two beautiful children. At the age of twenty-eight, I finally found the courage to end the relationship and remove him from our lives. The years that followed were difficult. Money was often scarce, and there were many struggles. Yet I was surrounded by wonderful people who became my allies and support system. I remained a single mother until I was thirty-two years old. Despite everything, Malaysia remains very close to my heart and will always feel like a second home.

The Shaman at the Foot of the Mountain

During my years in Malaysia, I occasionally experienced things that I could not explain. Since I was no longer actively attending Christian churches, I found myself exploring Taoism and Buddhism. Eventually, I encountered a shaman who lived at the foot of a mountain in Perak. At the time, I believed I was suffering from the effects of a black magic love spell and sought help. The ritual I underwent was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I was frightened, but I felt I had no other choice. Soon afterward, my life began improving. Whether people believe in such things or not, that experience became a turning point in my journey. It was also during this period that I developed a deeper interest in palm readings, tarot cards, rituals, and spiritual practices.

A New Life in Germany

Life surprised me once again when I met my second husband. Another leap of faith followed. In 2009, I immigrated to Germany, which has become my home ever since. Together we built a life and welcomed two more children into the world. Today, my two eldest children are now adults, and all four of my children remain one of my greatest blessings.

The Awakening Begins

In 2012, something extraordinary happened. One day, while walking toward my kitchen, I witnessed what I can only describe as a portal suddenly opening before me. The experience happened so quickly that I was left standing there completely confused and unable to explain what I had just seen. A year later, while busy raising four children, I began seriously exploring spirituality and awakening. I joined spiritual groups on Facebook and immersed myself in learning. I studied tarot cards, oracle cards, meditation, Reiki attunements, energy work, and various spiritual teachings. The more I learned, the more I felt that pieces of my life were finally beginning to make sense.

The Years of Study and Exploration

As my spiritual journey continued, my curiosity grew deeper. I studied witchcraft and engaged in spell work. Those years brought both wonderful and unpleasant experiences. One thing I learned is that genuine spiritual work is not for the faint of heart. Removing negative energies, spiritual attachments, curses, and energetic blockages requires far more than what is often presented online. Real spiritual work is not the Hollywood version many people imagine. It requires responsibility, discipline, discernment, and respect. Some experiences were beautiful and transformative. Others were difficult and deeply unsettling. By 2018, I made the conscious decision to close the chapter on active witchcraft practice. Although I stopped practicing, I never stopped learning

The Search for Deeper Understanding

Throughout the years, I continued expanding my knowledge. I studied Human Design, Gene Keys, emotional healing techniques, abundance work, energy clearing methods, and various personal development systems. Following my diagnosis with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I also developed a strong interest in NLP, CBT, and practical techniques designed to help people navigate emotional challenges and anxiety. I became fascinated by understanding human behavior, emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and personal transformation. Over time, my tarot reading abilities became stronger. At the same time, my clairvoyance and clairaudience continued developing. What began as a hobby gradually became something much more meaningful. I found myself helping people recognize their weaknesses, overcome obstacles, and reconnect with their highest potential.

The Moment Everything Changed

Late last year, I received devastating news. One of my cousins had suddenly passed away. Only a short time before his death, we had been discussing his Destiny Chart together. In fact, the day before learning of his passing, I had planned to call him. I could not believe he was gone.

Only a few hours after receiving the news, I heard his voice. The communication felt distant, yet unmistakably familiar. He told me he was grateful that I could hear him. He explained that he had fought very hard not to die. He spoke about his regrets, his family, and the things he wanted communicated to his loved ones. During his wake, I remained in contact with family members and continued relaying the messages I received. On the day of his burial, he shared one final message with me. He told me to stop doubting myself. He told me to share my gifts with the world. He told me that I could help many people through my abilities, my intuition, and my healing work.

The Birth of Guiding Light by Anne

At first, I was reluctant. I had spent years learning, questioning, and doubting myself. But eventually, I decided to listen. That decision led me to open my Etsy shop. I began by offering intuitive readings and spiritual guidance.

As time passed, new ideas and inspirations continued arriving. I realized that many people needed more than guidance alone. They needed tools to support healing, transformation, protection, and personal growth. That realization inspired me to create subliminals. After countless hours of research, development, testing, and refinement, my Full Clearing, Gift Activation, and Energetic Protection programs were born. Later, I developed manifestation subliminals designed to complement and strengthen those energetic tools.

Eventually, I created Manifestation Vortex Alchemy. Although I no longer practiced spell work, I realized there were other ways to help people align with their goals, dreams, and highest potential. Everything I offer today is the result of decades of life experience, spiritual exploration, personal transformation, study, and dedication.

A Final Message From My Heart

Life has taken me through many challenges, lessons, and transformations. Looking back, I realize that every experience, whether joyful or difficult, helped shape the person I am today.

If you have found your way here, perhaps you are searching for guidance, clarity, healing, or simply a sign that you are on the right path.

Whatever brings you here, know that you are not alone.

My hope is that through my readings, energy work, and guidance, I can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, discover new possibilities, and move forward with greater confidence.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. Perhaps our paths have crossed for a reason.

With love and gratitude,

Anne
