Chat with Amy Bortner-Gialuco, Author, Channel, Healer, Founder of the Ascordia Center

Summary: I have studied and practiced in the field of philosophy, metaphysics, healing and spiritual development for over twenty five years. I started my spiritual studies while still attending college in 1975. In 1978, I began to study with Shiela Reynolds, a local channeler for about two years. It was during the second year there that I began to open up psychically and dramatically shift my awareness and abilities. So much so that I began to channel guidance from a spiritual guide named "Daniel". "Daniel" began to work with me in 1979 and I began my career as a trance channeler in 1980. using automatic writing, I communicated with Daniel for one year. In 1981 I began to be able to voice channel and Daniel began to actually speak through me. My abilities as a trance channeler greatly expanded around 1985 and I began to channel a wide variety of spiritual guides from many different dimensions and reality systems. I began to study therapeutic massage (in 1980). Thus, I studied Swedish massage, sports massage and reflexology for several years and began my bodywork practice. As a consequence, I began to explore other healing modalities, especially those involving the " laying on of hands" techniques and working with the human energy field. Ascordia is a Seraphic Angel who was assigned to work with the earth plane at this time to help the transition of the planet and all of humanity into the new age of Peace and Love (the Age of Aquarius, as some of you know it!) Apparently, I was to be her student and the "voice" for the Angels. She indicated to me that I would eventually start a healing and educational center that would serve the Philadelphia community emphasizing the angelic perspective. onsequently, I put a sign up on my apartment office door in 1987 that simply said "Ascordia Center" and I have continued the Ascordia Center ever since!
