Good evening, join me Bethelle Jay for an introduction into who I am and my intent for hosting Sacred Places. It may appear odd to have an introduction after (14) episodes but the calling to start the show superceded the knowledge of how the show would unfold. Now I have an understanding of how Spirit is guiding me and how my emotions are directing me to focus my voice and the spiritual home I provide for others.  I am excited to back on the radio this evening with listeners. Together we will meditate and receive information on how to work with the Universal energies for this week. I will provide free readings to callers who wish to receive one.   Interested listeners can call into the show at 914-338-0695 at 5:00 pm, Sunday, February 25th.

Tune in My name is Dulce Gabriela, I was born in Mexico City, and I'm a first waver Twin Flame. Last year, on September 2016, a series of synchronicities led me to meet a man with whom I had an instant connection. For no apparent reason, I felt great unconditional love for someone I did not know. ..egos separated us eventually: cultural differences, religion, paradigms, etc... This separation caused a great sadness in me, and I went through several dark nights where I wondered why God would plant such a great love in my heart for someone who wouldn’t correspond it.  On some occasions, the twin flames, before finding the other half of their soul, they first encounter a catalyst twin, as preparation for the last encounter, which brings unprecedented spiritual growth. This catalyst is a soul belonging to the same soul group, which has a very similar vibrational frequency. In the end, we are all on our way back to unconditional love.  www.sacredconvergence.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCziS8gUkvFB97R16FtOwT8w
