Who am I? What is my purpose? What do I really want?  Why am I here?

During this time She worked consistently researching and informing herself of all the "ground breaking" techniques and new forms of "mind enhancing" formula that began arriving from America and Australia. She would then modified the theories and implement them to help and assist the clients in their search for health, high productivity, and peace. What she had not expected were the stories of encounters with angels, and other entities, colourful recollections of "past lives" and clear information on "New paths" to be taken.

The stories were told with great conviction, recanting, advice and assistance offered by these beings or for arguments sake, the clients higher self. This equally surprised the sound of mind "professionals" not used to such visitations and assistance, the staff, at The Float Centre however, were getting very used to them.

During this time, she painstakingly prepared, programmes for overcoming all types of issues, sitting with hundreds of clients, taking notes that would form the plan for many clients "Float Programmes". There were many stories of profound healings, improvements in physical, as well as emotional and vocational issues. Confidence improved, self-esteem enhanced and "get up and go" were harnessed and applied, with a new success. The Float Centre had arrived with new answers.

As UK's only commercial Float Tank Centre, she was also required to research and prepare leaflets on Brain chemistry, the effects of floating on the human mind and body, and was asked to train local authorities and governing bodies about "Floating" whilst setting up national guidelines and governmental standards.

She attended many radio phone in’s, performed pieces to camera for many TV companies and informative shows. Extensive interviews with given to the press, The Times, The Mail, The Independent and a plethora of contemporary magazines. Although she loved the Float Centre. She had completed her mission “Floating” was now established in the UK and she had assisted in setting up many centres that still exist today.

The next challenge, was to explore further, understand and experience more. But what? …. Ancient knowledge was the fast becoming the new bible, and she was gripped by these revelations from the past. This new urge lead to her to uncharted disciplines, meandering mind paths, and all things “Spiritual” that were exciting the worlds “New Age” denizens of the time. Many miles, and many teachers later. She heard of a man called Harry Palmer and was inspired to study Avatar, she learnt to access past life memories with Shakti Gawan, and trained as a practitioner. She studied the teachings of the Ancient School of Egyptian Mystery and was compelled to travel “home” to Egypt. In fact it was it was there that she profoundly reconnected with a life time as a “High Priestess” training new initiates in the ancient secret arts.

As incredulous as it all might seem now this was the beginning of many trips to Egypt and Ethiopia which culminated in a group of 33 travelling to Ethiopia in 2004 to release tonal discs buried deep at the bottom of lake Tanna 16,000 years ago. Samantha worked with “Shaman” healers, and travelled to Mexico to study the "Mayans" and their teachings. Through years of Yoga and 4.30am sessions, it became a way of life and she became a vegetarian, and still is to this day.

Finally these years allowed her to "Re-member" without training, the art of Tarot and she became an accomplished Tarot reader and trained others. Now it was time to marry two worlds, so she set about creating Hocus Pocus, a company that was to blend both, the corporate and the mystical. Clairvoyance went corporate! a match made in heaven as Hocus Pocus has provided the finest clairvoyants to "Chic" parties and events, for over 9 years, with uncharted success.

Ground breaking times for stuffy bankers and blasé professionals. Undaunted, she estimates that she has read over 29,000 peoples’ cards in the last 9 years. “I have seen into the motivations of literally 1000's of human minds, and the sheer diversity never ceases to amaze me and will continue to awe me, everyone has their own path to follow and some have simply got lost”. “I love the sheer uniqueness of people, human can be so creative, for good and for bad”.

She continues to observe why some people have problems and other do not. Why some are happy, and others tormented? She simply identifies the issue and “Tunes in" to the underlying cause to deliver the answer. These answers come as if from outside of her own thinking, yet always reflect the issue at hand. She believes, we all have a natural intuition that can be training to assist others in the answers that they grapple with.

It is a natural urge to assist, that creates a clear conduit for answers, gentle nudges, and inspiration. However, she firmly believes that, it’s vital to remember that advice is just that and that everyone needs to add their own discernment and balanced approach to life in all its complexities. “Information has an uncanny way of being exactly what is needed to help shift stubborn problems and dilemmas, but should always centre on the individual empowering themselves rather than creating a dependency. A successful reading or analysis is one where the individual feels more capable to take on their own role of self-discovery and are excited about regaining their will to do so. A reading should leave you empowered and not the reader, as it is you that need to take up the reins for the next "stage" in your journey”.

Having studied many courses, and trodden many paths, it was clear the question needed to be asked, Is there one path to enlightenment, or many? Why are their so hundreds of courses, offering so many ways? Are they all mutually exclusive, or is there some common ground.

Contemplating this, she scanned the database of her mind, read more books, looked at more concepts and contemplated further...... Yes there was a common thread; there was one idea, and practice that came up time and time again, through every system of change. That of positive thought….

All change seemed to be achieved through mastering the mind, and choosing the thoughts you wanted to adopt about yourself and the universe you live in.

Evidence might suggest that one cannot change the physical world around you, but Quantum physics was now romping in with the concept that if you change your thoughts, you CAN change your world literally. Therefore your beliefs can change and create your reality.

 “It is becoming clear that if you looked through a set of beliefs that for arguments sake we will call a set of sunglasses with a blue glass, you saw the world as blue. Change your glasses (beliefs) for a pink lens set and your world becomes pink. Ergo change your beliefs, and you change the way you view the world. If you view the world one way, and believe it to be true. You will indeed attract things that way, and see the world to be constructed in just that way, and the proof will be all around you. You have literally constructed and changed your entire reality to suit your belief” Very powerful stuff.

People who enjoy and appreciate life for example, are people who like the beliefs they hold, who are inspired by the beliefs they hold, and therefore enjoy the life they have created. People who are unhappy (for want of a better word) tend not to appreciate what they believe life has “thrown” at them, and they are people for whom life is filled with stuff they can’t change, that exists outside of their sphere of control. Life is something that happens to them.

People that are appreciating life, and all its creations, soon come to realise that if they don’t like something, it is they who are creating it by their beliefs, so just locate and change the belief that is creating things any other way, than they prefer. If you don’t like what life has given you, make another choice.

It is not what happens to us in life, but how we deal with it, that we are always at choice. (for more information please read the Law of Choice.)
Many travels and adventures, convinces her that there is more to life than meets the eye, and her deep abiding passion continues to be, to assist others to open theirs to the mysteries and wonders of the past present and future.
