ANGELIC HELP






a psychic









Our regular monthly peek
into the life Nicky Alan

shares with spirits




Monday


I’m on holiday in Cyprus and today something
spooky happened. We were standing in the
hotel foyer when a woman walked past and
I felt the hairs go up on the back of my neck.
Then I saw a picture of a lady in my mind.
I know this spirit is the mum of the woman
who walked past. So, I catch up with her and
tell her that her mum has come on holiday
with her and is so glad that her daughter
has done something for herself.
It doesn’t matter where you are in the world,
spirit people who love you will find a way to
communicate with you.











Tu day





I keep getting the sense while away that there’s
something wrong with my car. When we get
back home, it doesn’t start, and I’m meant to be
driving home to Devon from my mate’s place in
Essex. Archangel Ariel then says to me, ‘Don’t
worry, we have someone that will help you.’
Miraculously, a mechanic is able to come out
straight away and my car is fixed. As I head off
home, for the rest of the trip I see nothing but
333 everywhere, a strong angel number. The
angels got me home as promised.

A WEEK IN THE LIFE








Wedneday



I need to find a venue to do an evening of
mediumship. I say, ‘Angels, I want to do some
work for the spirit world, can you find me the
best venue please?’ My Alexa comes on and
plays an Olly Murs tune, which strikes me as
weird. In the afternoon, my friend invites me
for drinks at the Osborne Hotel in Torquay.
The place is beautiful with stunning views.
I pass the most magnificent function room.
There is a man in there and I ask him about
hiring it. When I spot his name badge – Olly
– I know this is the right place for my event.

What does your inner self

to see what we prescribe…



e honest, how often do you get a chance
to check in with yourself and have a little
‘me time’?
B We all need time to slow down and
reconnect with ourselves, because if we don’t find
the time to look within and check how we are doing
emotionally, we can become disconnected from our
soul and feel as though we are just going through
the motions in life.
In shamanic practice, you are encouraged to
connect with your higher self to see deeper within
and understand who you are. That’s why shamanic
practitioner Aimee Miles has created this Spiritual
Prescription Quiz to help you identify what you
need to be doing to find time to slow down and
soothe your soul.
‘We all experience times when we become out
of sync with our soul,’ says Aimee. ‘Situations are
presented to us when we least expect them, which
can knock us slightly off track. These challenges
are given to us to help us learn and grow so that
our soul can evolve. I hope this quiz will help you
reconnect to your soul’s needs so you can flourish
