    S2-Ep 27: Patti Fields - Dreams, Messages, and Spiritual Guidance

    Meet Patti Fields: Patti is a spiritual guide and dream interpreter. She asks questions such as: "Why do people suffer? How can we be free of pain? What is the purpose of suffering?" These questions were swirling around in Patti Fields’ mind the day she buried her baby, Amanda, after a tragic pregnancy loss. Reaching out for guidance, that night she experienced her first spiritual dream and she experienced a natural opening to the healing power of the spiritual realm. Patti’s quest for answers led her to the teachings and practices of A Course in Miracles, during which time her spiritual dreams and visions became numerous and profound. Applying the guidance she received to situations and relationships her negative belief patterns, grievances, and unhealthy self-concepts fell away. Patti’s desire to help others prompted an unexpected spiritual dream where she met her spirit guide, who taught her how to channel messages while awake.
