About Phaeryn

I have had a very eventful, interesting but challenging life, mostly because I kept finding myself in spiritual initiations that I couldn't understand the reasons for.

I was lucky to start out with parents that were 'the best,' Tece and Jack Sheehan.  They were very intelligent, intuitive, funny and their skillful love for me and for my brothers and sisters was immeasurable.  They were Irish, very politically saavy and  opinionated.  My parents also were Catholic spiritual devotees.  I always appreciated that they practiced their faith in God with great heart and weren't affected much by the politics or erroneous Church dogma.  Their quiet, passionate love of Jesus, God, and their favorite saints infused me with a solid intimate connection to God.   Many of our meals were like tennis matches...us watching them lob commentary back and forth to each other about the most recent political happenings.

As much as I tried to create a life like everyone else seemed to be doing, it never fully worked.  Fortunately, Grace kept sourcing me as I kept falling down and away from what I thought I wanted until I realized that my life as I was trying to create it wasn't going to happen no matter how hard I tried to make it so.

And then I met Ilona Linda Day, a spiritual channel and teacher.   The spiritual reading I experienced from her changed everything for me.  Though outwardly my life temporarily got worse, something unnameable was happening inside of me, something strange and lovely.  As I continued to learn from Ilona about the Great Spiritual Masters, Angelic Beings and other spirited realities, I found that eventually I had to face that I would have to live in the San Bernadino mountains where she lived so I could uncover what God wanted of me that I couldn't quite understand.

It was wonderful living with Ilona.  She was joyful, playful and sweet but also gently firm with me.  She never complained even when she was in great pain from breast cancer.  When she passed on, I became her successor as the channel for the Foundation of the Temple Beautiful, an organization Ilona had been prompted to start with seven women devotees.  We found that the Temple Beautiful had appeared.

Given Ilona had not taught me anything about channeling, only constantly demonstrated it, I was terrified, feeling it was impossible, and unable to even think of filling her shoes.  But then the Spirited realities that had taught us seven women for three years through Ilona's channelship had other ideas and so it wasn't long before I was able to receive as a channel as Ilona had done before.

Now it is suddenly twenty three years later.....

I could not begin to elaborate on even a small amount of the experiences that have  unfolded in my personal and transpersonal life since I succeeded Ilona.  Our Foundation became the Ascended Masters Foundation Of The New Times.  Many, many people have experienced ascended spirited energy through my channelship services and the selfless service of the many people who have been our staff members and alumni. 

I have had the opportunity to serve spiritual seekers throughout the United States as well as in Greece, Germany and Austria.   It seems that being a channel for the Ascended Masters teachings has graced me with a great sense of love of life and also a sense of being powerfully released from childhood and past life negative conditionings so that I feel more and more able to live in the present moment.  What I'm most grateful for is that beloved daughters, Julia and Gianna, are now grown women leading healthy and powerfully creative lives.  Also I can say that though I started out  begrudgingly when I began serving as a spiritual channel and teacher , my desires have shifted completely.  Now my greatest desire is simply to make Goddess/God happy...
