THE ALIENS are among us – but don’t worry, they’re here to help.
Queensland-based counsellor and alien encounters expert Mary Rodwell says it’s misguided to think people are “abducted by aliens” and subject to ominous experiments.
In fact 85% of people have walked away from alien encounters with “positive transformational experiences”, according to her research.
The author of Awakenings and The New Human, Mrs Rodwell is a keynote speaker at the inaugural Close Encounters Conference in Byron Bay on January 15-16.
Mrs Rodwell believes alien encounters are a “program to open up human consciousness”.
While at first people often felt “frightened because they don’t know what was going on”, after some time they realised there was a bigger picture involved.
“They develop more heightened senses … they start to be aware they can do healing and energy work,” she said. “They lose interest in materialistic values and want to live more holistic lifestyles, often becoming vegetarians for example.
“They get this broader sense of connectedness to everything.”
