Reality Check

Today I had a moment of doubt - a reality check if you like. I really want to make the transition to being a full time healer. Or even a part time healer, part time charity worker / marketeer. Really looking forward to the day when I can fill a Monday-Tuesday with healing clients! Paying healing clients!

Right now I'm still scrambling around trying to find 3 people who will sign up for free healings! OK so I have 2 on going clients who are thrilled to have their weekly session. The 3rd has yet to materialise.

I can include a pet a case study this term which would be really cool. We're not supposed to practice on friends and family at this point, but I wonder if a friend's pet is allowed? Not sure I want to ask though!

Sometimes its better to say you're sorry than ask for permission.

My Thoughts on Pancreatic Cancer



In healing school, we learned that our experiences, emotions and reactions are held in the body. If we don't deal with certain experiences, they upset our personal energy. In some cases we may feel the effects physically. This theory resonated and my thoughts turned to a family friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This post goes beyond biology to explore the Mind-Body-Spirit connection. 

Please note: Energy Healing is not a substitute for medical care.  



Here are my thoughts on energy healing and pancreatic cancer: 

  • The body feels the full range of emotions ranging from stress, tension and anxiety to joy and laughter. Positive emotions flow through our system freely while those at the negative end of the spectrum often need to be released consciously. How does your body react to stress: hunched shoulders, tense back, upset stomach, etc? It is widely accepted that the body retains these emotions and that we need to let them go - often by self-healing. 
  • When a person holds onto anger, fear or sadness, those emotions sit in the body. I believe buried anger and resentment to be emotional risk factors for some types of cancer and that with time, holding onto this energy takes it's toll on the physical body. In my view, the problem is that most of us were not given the tools to understand and heal our emotions on a daily basis, instead leaving them to simmer. Energy healing can help us bring about peace, forgiveness and relaxation; in this way Energy healing complements medical care. 
  • In the case of pancreatic cancer the energy healing session would focus on the Heart Chakra. This energy center is known for universal love: how we feel about our parents, siblings and close friends. If someone dear to our heart is harmed, or if they betray us, it can be very hard to heal and move on. Disappointments of this kind are said to leave an emotional mark on the pancreas because it is so close to the heart (love). 
  • My theory is that pancreatic cancer may have lower survival rates because of the presence of anger, grief and emotional pain - often in response to a challenging life situation. The aim of Energy Healing is to help the patient heal on a subconscious level, while making it easier for them to relax and release stress. Energy Healing and Reiki can bring about peace; but they are not substitutes for medical care.

A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love 

Update: My first book is a complementary therapy guide for families that are dealing with cancer, looking primarily at energy healing and meditation. Simple tools that the whole family can benefit from. 

I wrote this book, trying to make sense of my family’s experience with cancer. 

Find it on Amazon below

 


Below you'll find a meditation that makes it easier for us to release stress, tension and worry with guided visualization. The more we meditate, the easier it becomes for us to relax and clear our body and Aura. Think of your Aura, or energy field, as the the projection of your thoughts and feelings. We all benefit from meditation, regardless of our attitudes towards energy healing.

Decisions Decisions ...

The past couple days I've been blessed with multiple psychic readings from other Facebook Psychics and Tarot Readers. Almost like the Universe is paying me back for all the free readings I've done the past few months. What never ceases to surprise me is how each of these readings confirms the ones I'd done for myself, and even some of the recurring thoughts I've been having. 

Here are a few:

- It's time to make a decision! For a couple months I've been asking if I should drop business and move into healing as a career path. I hadn't actually had an answer until a couple weeks before Christmas, when one of my classmates told me I'd be making a career move by the summer of 2012. At first I really resisted.

- Then over Christmas I got to thinking, and I really like the idea of becoming a full-time healer. Or at least a part time healer, writer, and even tarot reader. My job can be fun and it's stable though, so I started having all these fears about how I was going to make up my salary and pay the rent in London. The realisation that  I wanted to do that really stressed me out, so about 2 weeks ago I put it to one side.

- Since then I've given myself a few readings and the message has been that it's time for me to DECIDE what I want to do. Today I Liked Luna Fey Readings Page and got a surprise tarot reading in return. Lovely surprise! Once again the message was that I had to make a CHOICE, that I have a lot of things going on in my life and that I have to let go before I can receive more.

I've already cut quite a few things and I'm proud of that, let's think of what I have left:


My Day Job
Healing School
Anatomy Class - One Sunday to go!
Healing Case Studies
That Book I'm Writing Off-and-On
The Blog
The Facebook Page
The Feeling that I should join a Gym
My Personal Life 
Family and Friends

The order says a lot as well. To say the least and I'd like to flip it on it's head.  I really need some peace and quiet, more time to relax and chill out.  More time to be myself and connect with myself. 

I am going to create more time. 

- So back to these readings and my new found vocation: Healing! Is it only healing though? My intuition tells me I'm going to end up doing a whole lot more than than, but energy healing is a good start. And from July I'll be an accredited healer so I can actually do what I love and pay the rent - at least part of it! I've also been told I need to let go of things before I can receive more. Makes total sense as already I have more than I can handle. Quitting school doesn't make the least bit of sense, I've already dropped the non-essential classes, i.e. the full-on Anatomy Class and my weekly Psychic Readings. I'll pick those up again in the future when the time is right. 

In the past I've considered dropping the blog, but I really like writing and it also helps me understand things better. Make sense of all the things I'm learning in school, with my headings and also on my own. The Facebook Page I could drop, this I've also thought of. But again I really enjoy it! It's so hard! 

Where I am now my big time hoovers are my job, the FB page and School and homework 

And sleeping.

Its time to start my pro-and-con lists and see where I should focus my energy. 

Love & Light!

Dehydration from Chakra Treatments

Every so often I look at the Google Analytics data on the traffic to my blog. It tells me what posts people look at, how many page views, from what countries and even what search terms they typed into Google! Looking at the search terms can be fun, sometimes I wish I could answer their questions!

Here are some of the search terms: 
  • pagan priestess
  • after energy healing solar plexus pain
  • after my chakra session I feel dehydrated
  • channeling archangels
  • heightened sense of smell hangover
  • clairvoyant acupuncture
  • diary kundalini
  • spells to heal yourself

Today I'm writing for  the person who googled dehydration after chakra sessions. A bit late for them but maybe it can help the rest of us! I don't know a whole lot about dehydration but I have heard a few things about water, energy healing, energy work and why we might feel dehydrated. Here goes!

Our body is 70% water.  Any kind of energy work uses up a lot of this water, Rachel Peterson covers this in a guest post on A State of Mind. Our body uses water as a conduit for our psychic impressions and messages. This work also depletes the water. I don't know if the person who googled it was the healer or the healee, but in either case I can see big shifts of energy that could lead to dehydration.

The big lesson is to drink water regularly, and especially after a healing session.

Love and Light!

Energy Healing as a Complementary Therapy

A couple months ago a friend of mine had the flu and asked if I could send her energy healing. I had to say no. She was pregnant. At the moment I remember thinking it was such a shame that we weren’t allowed to give energy healing to pregnant women. Women aren’t supposed to take painkillers when they’re pregnant, so if we could help them that would be awesome. A real healing need ...    

And as it turns out we can heal pregnant women! There are a few considerations that we learned in class this weekend, and the school had told us we couldn’t yet because we weren’t trained. So from now on not only can I heal my preggers friends, but I can also include pregnant women in my case studies. 

So what were the special considerations? 

The Preggers Clause: When we tune in to perform a healing we typically ground ourselves, attune to that highest source of energy, protect the client and healer, and ask Spirit and the client's higher self for permission to heal. In this case we also ask for the baby's permission to give healing. If only one of them says yes, the healer only works with that one. If the baby says no you protect it in a bubble of light and use your intention to make sure the healing only goes to the mum.

What are the Doctor's Orders? Pregnant women need to provide written consent from their midwife before the healing session begins. This makes perfect sense, from a legal point of view we want to make sure the responsibility stays with the doctor.  Energy healing may be natural, but if it is potent enough to have an effect then it's worth monitoring as part of the client's overall wellbeing and holistic care.  

I am also thinking about asking for the doctor's consent in the following situations: 

- Mental Health Issues
- Cancer Patients
- Chronic illnesses (on a case by case basis)

Adults have the right to refuse medical treatment, in those cases I would suggest asking them to sign a paper stating they have been advised to see a doctor. This serves the dual purpose of protecting the healer in a legal framework, but it also puts the accountability on the client's shoulders. They should be the ones with the strongest interest in getting better, and I would hope that they give themselves the best chance possible. Energy healing does not replace conventional medicine, that is why we call it a complementary therapy (at least in the UK). Personally I do think that people stand the best chance of getting better if they pursue both medical treatment and complementary therapies. In my humble and unscientific opinion, western medicine is good at treating the human body, and to their credit the medical community has been studying how our system works for ages. I haven't gotten through the 1st chapter of my A&P book but they have it all down pat and they are the go-to people when we get sick. How lucky are we to live in a time when a tumour can be removed overnight? Even the most talented self-healer might take weeks or even months working through affirmations, journaling, healing sections, etc. That's not to say it can't be done, Louise Hay talks about her own experience with cancer in her best selling book You Can Heal Your Life. 

Adults have the right to decline medical treatment and many do for cultural or religious reasons. I think it's a shame although I do respect their free will and personal belief systems. The official protocol states that as a healer you should suggest adult clients seek medical treatment, and get them to sign a disclaimer if they refuse to do so (children must be taken to a doctor). At that point as a healer you have to make a call on whether or not you are going to work with the adult. This is a tough question, I'm on the fence now. On one level the healing session always has a benefit for the client, but my practical side also wants to secure the best outcome (in line with their Highest Good - whatever that may be). If it was me, I'd go to a doctor and a healer but not everyone sees it that way. Anyhow, there are probably more people out there who see doctors and who don't see healers .... 

Definitely something to think about, and in the end I will make the call on a case by case basis. It may come down to my inner guidance about that client. What is your view on the role of energy medicine? Please share your thoughts in the comment box below - thank you!

The Energy of Silence

I'm reading a great book these days called The Energy of Silence, it's about the energy we waste when we gossip, the energy we waste when we spend too much time talking and not enough time doing. Also about the energy we retain when we keep our mouths shut and don't say things that could be hurtful or distracting. It also reminds me of a class I attended at the Kabbalah Centre and the theory that vicious gossip or criticism cuts the "thinker" down, as much as the person they are directing their thoughts to. Let's hold back on judgement. 

Please send healing energy to the group of people I am thinking of right now. Your good intentions will help transform the energy sent their way into LIGHT.
