Finding Guidance in the Right Places

One of my guides was a psychologist in a past life. I only found out recently, when I was pondering my future and thinking it would be good to have someone to talk to about my life. Yes I have family and friends but some things are best said to a professional. The challenge with me is that so much of my life is now influenced by my healing, readings and intuition that I'm not sure what I could say to a living psychologist without them throwing me in a straight jacket.

Yesterday for example, I had lunch with a friend and she brought along Doreen Virtue's new Angel Reading tarot cards. I told her about my misgivings with my current job, and this feeling that I want to change directions without knowing where I should go. I know where I want to go, healing and counseling, but should I play it safe for a few more years and stick with a conventional day job?

She pulled three cards for me and we were shocked at how accurate they were:

1. Don't cry over spilled milk, you're not seeing the positive in your current situation.

2. Fears about money and concern over successful self employment.

3. Enjoy the little luxuries in life. Successful self-employment.

Tada!

I was really shocked and pleasantly surprised by the cards. The past few months I've been whining about being stuck in a new job that I didn't really ask for or want. If there is a silver lining I haven't spotted it, but I better look harder. Then the next two cards really answered my question, should I put my energy into finding a day job that I like or should I focus on transitioning to healing, writing and other creative outlets in the future?

I can't imagine going to a non-psychic or spiritual shrink and telling them that this reading is getting me to consider it more seriously. Would they think I was a complete loon? I was thinking about this at the gym yesterday and suddenly I had a thought: my guide was a shrink and he is there to guide me. Ha! And at the same time, I can use his expertise in my healing sessions with clients. Not that I'd advertise myself as a counselor because I'm not, but I have often thought that the basic knowledge would come in handy. Sometimes I'll get very clear insight into a situation and its hard to steer the client in that direction (if its appropriate, a lot of times we are just meant to sit on what we sense during a healing session).

Anyhooo, if there is a qualified shrink out there who is also intuitive, and preferably in London let me know. LOL. I think I'd like to see one myself but more than that I'd like to learn to do what they do. Will have a look online for a few short courses in psychotherapy and counseling. 

In the meantime I will chat with my guide ....

When Science Meets Spirituality

I have been craving KFC all week and I keep telling myself not to get it. Today I started thinking that maybe I should just go for a bucket of crispy fried chicken, biscuits and mashed potatoes. What is driving this craving you might ask? I really think it's my inner child coming out to play. Last week we had a Soul Retrieval workshop at my healing school and I successfully re-integrated a piece of my 7 year old soul. When I was seven my favourite food in the world were the drumsticks at KFC.  I remember eating something like six pieces on one occasion. Colonel Sanders was one of my favourite people! Him and Ronald McDonalds were the coolest people on the planet. I did always wonder if Sanders had actually fought in a war or if all he did was sell chicken.  

So what is a Soul Retrieval and why did my a fragment of my soul break off? I'm not entirely sure what happened in my case, but I do have a very clear memory of me wanting to be a scientist when I was that age. I thought science, astronomy, the universe, rocks and even dirt were to interesting. Look at all of the plants that grow out of something so basic as dirt. What caused it? How did they survive? And how could we take some of those properties, put them in a beaker and make a cool potion? I don't think I'd heard of Einstein back then, but I was fascinated by cartoons of crazy scientists cooking up chemistry projects. I was also really good at science experiments and math, the nerdy straight A student that I always was. One day someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I replied enthusiastically that I wanted to be a scientist! How amazing was that? The response took me by surprise:

"Scientists don't make enough money," he replied. "You could be a brilliant scientist and barely make it month to month." 

Ouch.

Not the best answer to give a seven year old! I remember feeling shocked and crushed that my aspiration was not good enough. What kind of jobs would pay off and would I like them? It really sucked. I'm not sure if that was the moment when I lost a little bit of myself, but I think this pressure to do the "right" thing has been with me for a long time. And who is to say what the right thing is anyway. Looking back on it I can also tell you that he was wrong. Scientists can make a lot of money, especially if they also have a good business mind which I happen to have. More than being a scientist I like to understand how things work, and that is true for science but also for energy healing. 

The memory has popped up over and over again the past 20 odd years. It has only now dawned on me that the promise of a high salary doesn't have to be one of the defining factors in my life.  I do like living in nice neighbourhoods, nice house, nice things, etc. But the abundance of the universe can come to us in unexpected ways, and following my bliss from a work point of view is sure to pay off. I think this is particularly relevant for me now that I'm contemplating my next steps with energy healing and writing. Even when I was in grad school I never anticipated staying in the corporate world for more than 10-15 years tops. Eventually I want to start my own business and I am now starting to think that it will be a healing/reading/therapy business. The exact dynamics are not yet clear to me, but I'm headed in that direction. Do energy healers make a good living? They can do. I will find a way to make it work.
