Hello Angela darling, you're a real sweetheart.

I started when I was very very young and I used to talk to my guardian angel. I was brought up a Roman Catholic and my mother taught me that there were angels and fairies and all kinds of lovely spiritual figures for me to have a little chat to and play with and it started there.

Then I did some meditation when I was about fourteen and my brother came back from India with books on meditation. The Third Eye by Lobsang Rampa was the first meditation book I ever read, and then I read another book by the same author on astral travelling. I don't know why I wasn't outside playing with boys and dolls and skateboarding and mucking around down the beach, but I was a solitary child.

A lot of people have an intensely fruitful imagination, a lot of kids, of course, and they use that in their game playing, but for me I decided to use it in a form of meditation. My brother came back with so many amazing stories about the monks in India that I was intrigued.

The Roman Catholic religion was a little bit too structured for me and it wasn't giving me the answers that I needed, so I found that the Eastern philosophies really suited me. I did more and more and more study in visualisation and mediation. It was always private, as most religions are and there was no bell ringing at Heathrow Airport or anything like that.

I've always been fascinated with how the body ticks, and the connection between the human body and the spiritual anatomy, which really does exist. With this fascination that I had for science and the human body and medicine, the next logical thing for me to do was to look into energy structures, chakra centres, acupuncture, things like that as a form of healing. One thing led to another and I started learning about the energy healing which I studied for two years.
