Nature Connections Show with Sarah Jane Alexander - January 17th 2014

Before becoming an author and psychic channeler, Sarah Jane Alexander pursued her love of words in a newsroom. She graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism with an emphasis in reporting and editing. Afterward, she accepted an internship that took her to California’s Central Valley. The internship, at a midsize newspaper’s copy desk, turned into a job where she sifted through punctuation, grammar and headlines for more than a dozen years.Now Sarah Jane runs a business using her psychic skills to help other people connect with archangels and fairies. Sarah Jane’s primary skill of extrasensory perception is clairaudience, but she also frequently uses clairsentience (psychic feeling), claircognizance (psychic knowing) and clairvoyance (psychic seeing) to help her clients.Sarah Jane’s desire to help others also inspired her to become a certified massage therapist and to study energy healing.For fun, Sarah Jane escapes to nature, exploring beaches, mountains and forests. Hiking is her favorite form of interacting with nature; a stroll is the perfect opportunity to admire plants and animals. She also dabbles in rock climbing to challenge herself mentally and physically.In this interview Sarah talks about her connection with the fairy kingdom and how the fairies have much wisdom for us regarding how we can heal the earth and improve our own health and well-being.
