Jean Walker says she feels as though she's ``singing throughout the day.''
The 73-year-old Virginia Beach woman has been involved with the Inner Peace Movement for 22 years, and she believes the program is the answer to people's search for meaning and fulfillment.
``I've got more energy than I had when I was 25. And I'm more relaxed,'' Walker said. ``It's helped me to start recognizing who I am and feel comfortable in any situation.
``For me, my life didn't really start until I heard my first lecture.''
Walker wishes to share her experiences with local residents through free lectures at the Holiday Inn of Elizabeth City at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday.
Walker plans to speak about guardian angels and how they communicate with people, as well as how people can achieve fulfillment.
Guardian angels are ``crystal clear with clear motives,'' Walker said. ``They're really Christ-like.''
The Inner Peace Movement has an international following. Its members speak of angels, extrasensory perception and spirituality.
But Walker said the movement is not a religion.
``It's not dos and don'ts,'' Walker said. ``It's spiritual in the sense of recognizing a soul.''
Walker said anyone is welcome who wants to learn more about the spiritual aspect of life.
``People are so tuned into their intellects. They let intellect control their lives,'' Walker said. ``They're afraid of their feelings.'' by CNB
