As a young child, Ruth Ann was not aware of her special gift. It was not until a near death experience or actually a DOA situation did she really begun to realize that there was something else with her life. This something else that Ruth Ann became aware of was of a sense of "Clairvoyancy", an ability to communicate with the "Spirits", Angels, and "Christ like Beings of Light" or as known as the "Other Side" (of which some of these were guides for learning). Some people may refer to them as "ghosts". Over the years as Ruth Ann developed this gift through experiences and lessons (from her guides), she came to realize that her son, David, also had this unique gift. She, or they, learned from their guides and each other, and began to use their gifts to help others. Ruth Ann and David were soon going about helping individuals through grieving processes or when communication with the "Other Side" was needed to help quell unrest from the "ghosts". During this time, Ruth Ann became attuned to her ability to help heal individuals (in a spiritual way) and began to learn how to take the healing process a step further through energy healing, or what is known as "Reiki". Within a short while she became a "master" in Reiki and soon helped create a course in Reiki at a near-by college and taught this artful to many students. Although her son has passed over, they continue to work together through communicating to help individuals in many ways. Of the many experiences that Ruth Ann has had, a number of these experiences occurred in the home that she lived in and raised her family in. She has put together a compilation of some of these experiences in her first book, "Under the Rainbow Crossing", where she retells these true life events.
