Cynthia Branchflower

My name is Cynthia Branchflower. Yes, that is my real name—the name that I was born with. People often ask me if I am Native American, because of my name and the way that I look. I do have Sioux and Cherokee in my bloodline, but it is from my mother's side of the family. I come from a very "gifted" family. My great, great grandmother was a Native American healer in Tennessee, back in the 1800s. My grandmother told me that people used to travel long distances to see her.

My parents are both professionals. My father is in aerospace and my mother is a retired nurse. My grandmother could see auras and spirits from the time she was a child. So could my uncle. My sister is a gifted intuitive.

I was born with the gift of spiritual healing. It's not something that I learned or a technique that I use. I have always had energy coming out of my hands and feet. From my early 20s on, I prayed on numerous occasions to be healed and was instantly healed.

So healers, psychics and spirit sightings were a normal part of life for me. We were brought up Catholic, but my mother always had an open mind about everything. In the terms used by the church, I have the gift of healing and the gift of second sight.

My children have also inherited gifts. My son sometimes accompanies me when I do group healing sessions and when I clear houses. He has the ability to channel healing energy, and he can see and hear the spirits.

Still, I didn't know until a few years ago that I was meant to be a healer. In 2000, I took my mother to Brazil to the Casa de Dom Inacio to see a powerful healer who is known all over the world. His name is Joao Teixeira da Faria. He is a trance medium who has healed millions of people.

During our visit to Brazil, Joao asked me what I did for a living, and I told him that I was in sales at a university. Then he said (through an interpreter), "You are a tremendously powerful medium and healer, and that is what you are supposed to be doing." I was very surprised.

On my second visit three months later, he said, "Don't be afraid. We are with you always. We will heal through you in the United States. Come back to Brazil." Each time I returned to Brazil the level of energy that I channeled was greatly increased.  I am fully open now, and no longer return to Brazil.

I have a very strong faith in God and follow the guidance I am given on a daily basis. When I work on people, I pray for them to be healed. I just channel the energy and the spirits do the work. GOD heals.

Every couple of weeks the energy level that comes through me is increased. The higher the level of energy, the faster the healing works.

As I work on you, my guides tell me where to put my hands. They also give me information about you while I am working on you. If they ask me to tell you something, I will. Sometimes they don't have any advice for you, so I will tell you that.
