Healing and the Endocrine System


I'm delighted to present a guest post by Alison Woodman of A.M. Healing, a student healer at the Harry Edwards Sanctuary. Alison was kind enough to share her learnings on the Endocrine System with us as it is an integral part of the energy healing curriculum. Thank You Alison for your insight and generosity!  

The Body's Main Control System - by Alison Woodman

There are 11 systems that operate within our physical bodies and they are: 

  • The Digestive System 
  • The Urinary System
  • The Cardiovascular System
  • The Central Nervous System 
  • The Skeletal System  
  • The Respiratory System 
  • The Muscular System
  • The Endocrine System
  • The Reproductive System
  • The Lymphatic systems 
  • The Integument System   

As healers we are very interested in The Endocrine system because of it's alignment with The Chakras. The Chakras are not physical but simply aspects of the consciousness in the same way that the aura is. The Endocrine System is a group of Glands controlled by the Pituitary Gland. Some describe the Pituitary gland as the orchestra conductor because this gland controls the others by sending messages relating to the secretion of hormones. If the Pituitary gland is not functioning correctly then you can bet that the other glands will be under strain too. The hormone secretion through the kidneys and liver are vitally linked to our feeling WELL and spiritual healing can be a great way to connect with Chakras and inevitably The Endocrine system. Why are they connected you may wonder? Well as luck would have it the 7 glands within The Endocrine system are aligned perfectly with the 7 Main Chakras. They are linked of that there is no doubt and listed below are the 7 Chakras , The link with the glands and the possible issues and emotions relating to them both.

Each of the following will present the chakra-gland pairing, along with the issue they are linked with: 

  • Crown Charka - Pineal Gland - Spiritual denial/ migraines
  • Brow Chakra - Pituitary Gland - Truth/intuition/depression/ mood swings
  • Throat Chakra - Thyroid Gland - Communication or lack of father issues
  • Heart Chakra - Thymus Gland -Love/immune system/ balance/ trust/ jealousy 
  • Solar plexus - The Pancreas - Mind/ no emotions/ fear/ diabetes/ wisdom
  • Sacral Chakra - The Adrenals - Joy/ shock/ creativity/ hysterectomy/ prostrate
  • Base Chakra - Gonads - Courage/Pysical needs/ Resentment/ Anger
So from the above information it is easy to see how working on the various Chakras during a healing session and ensuring they are fully open and spinning correctly greatly benefits that particular area of The Endocrine system as they are highly integrated. It is vitally important to look after your body with diet and exercise to ensure that the correct balance is met because after all our Biography will ultimately becomes our Biography. Look after yourselves guys x"

Drenched in Coca Cola

This week I was clearing myself after a healing session and asked for a bucket of ice cold water to be poured over me. Energetically of course, it doesn't happen in real life. Instead my Guides dunked a bucketful of Diet Coke and Ice on me and then asked if it was refreshing. It was not! It felt very sticky and sugary and I then had to clear myself with a water meditation to get rid of the Coke! 

The clair-sentient message was accompanied by a telepathic comment about Diet Coke not being refreshing for my body either! OMG! I almost laughed but I was also a little bit annoyed. Maybe that's how my body feels when I drink colas. I had never thought of it that way. The past few weeks I have been getting hints that I should drink water instead. 

To be fair, I have cut down on coffee and I'm drinking a lot more more water during the day. But I'm still having my Diet Cokes once a day, and its time to stop. On another note I am also wanting to lose a few pounds I believe the soft drinks are holding me back. Not sure how exactly but I bet there is an explanation for it. I've made up my mind to go cold turkey on fizzy brown drinks for the next month. I can start with that and maybe I'll be able to tolerate a cup of coffee a day.  Diet Coke will be a hard habit to quit, but I'd rather do that than give up my occasional Starbucks Caramel Macchiato. Or Cafe Nero. I'm a huge fan of Nero!

Clearing Myself After a Session

One of my Facebook Friends asked a good question this week. Do I clear myself between psychic readings and healings? She also asked if I felt like those things affected me after the session.

I get this question A LOT from my healing clients, some of them worried about whether or not I'll hang on to their junk. Clearing myself after a healing is easy, but sometimes I'd feel their issues during the session and not realise what was happening. I might feel their frustrations and fears and think they were my own. For example, one of my clients was lacking direction in her life and I wouldn't know where to go during the healings. My supervisor pointed it out in one of our sessions, until then I was a bit clueless.

Sometimes I'll also get these feelings during psychic readings. The 1st time it happened I was reading for one of our special visitors in class, a lady who had just come back from visiting John of God in Brazil. I knew her from my previous classes and I really noticed a huge energetic shift after her visit. As soon as I sat down in her energy field I felt the tropics around me, music, dancing, jungle, creative flair. I remarked on how quickly she was blossoming and opening up, and then got a sinking feeling in my heart. It was regret that it hadn't happened earlier in her life. I'm convinced the feeling was coming from her but I didn't realise it at the time and I missed the opportunity to set her straight:
  • The timing was exactly right for her, the message wouldn't have clicked so easily if she'd gone earlier. Some of the rough patches had to happen 1st to get her ready for her big awakening. 
  • She is young and still has a long life ahead of her! 
At the time I had no idea why I was feeling that regret all of a sudden and I completely missed the point of the reading I was supposed to give her. These feelings come as an indication of what I should work on, and I am meant to acknowledge it and let it go.  Readings and Healings are easy to disconnect from and to clear. After a healing session I imagine a huge bucket of ice water pouring over me. Funny enough that image was inspired by a football tradition which you may be familiar with! It is very refreshing and I associate it with a job well done (or a match well won!) With tarot I visualize a cosmic hoover sucking everything away as I shuffle the cards. I will also cut ties to the readee and send them off after the reading. It helps to see them as a bird flying into the horizon.

The tougher links to break are the ones in our day to day life. More and more often I find myself mistaking someone else's feelings for my own. Sometimes I get a sense that it is off and I'm not really sure till they are gone from my energy field. A few experiences the past week have me grounding, clearing and protecting myself a lot. I also asked Archangel Michael for help with boundaries.

Interactive Colour Readings


I am a huge fan of Guiding Star's Interactive Readings. Every week Sandra posts four lovely words and asks her fans to choose the ones they are drawn to. For example, you might get Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso and Hot Chocolate. Each of the words gets an angelic message with advice and a bit of fortune telling. I can't tell you how many times I've chosen a word and then seen it come to fruition in the next week. 

For a few months now I've been drawn to trying a similar reading style on my page, with a colourful twist! What I would like to do is post a bright and contrasting image and have people choose the colour that screams at them (yes, colours do scream). I believe colours heal through their vibration and we'll be drawn to the one that we need most. Or to the message we need to hear most. I'm not sure what shape these Interactive Colour Readings might take. Its a great time to start though so have a look at these beautiful flowers and choose one of the colours below! I'll post the readings in the comment box this weekend. What are you choosing today? The options are:

Working with Earth Energy in Distant Healings

Today I tried a new technique while sending distant healing from the park. I sat near the Bayswater exit in Kensington Gardens with my back to a huge tree trunk. I then grounded and attuned to the healing energy, asked for permission to heal the people who commented on the Healing Post and protected them. 
I could feel energy coming out of my hands very strongly and I visualised a rose quartz sphere floating in front of me. All along I sat cross-legged on the grass with my hands resting on my knees, palms facing inwards. I invited anyone in need of healing to join and the 1st image I got was of the people who were killed at the movies in Denver, along with their families. That image then faded into the planet earth. 
At first I thought the earth needed healing but it is really the people who live there that are in need of healing. The planet has the ability to renew itself and its our energy that needs cleansing. The earth is filled with positive and negative emotions as well as spirits, elementals and other energies. If I stopped to think about this the healing would have been overwhelming, but visualising a basketball-sized planet earth is not so intimidating. And it feels small enough to be healed by one person. 
In some of my classes we work with different kinds of healing angels. One of these are the Virtues and they go straight to war-torn areas (or catastrophes) to give healing. I could see them around me joining in during the healing. When that was done we moved on to the reason for the healing: my Facebook fans!
I like to count during some of my healings and today I counted very slowly from 1 to 30 for each of the people who requested healing (or who might still request it). One by one they were sent healing hugs as well as a healing energy to clear any specific issues. When that was done I put my hands on the grass in front of me and focused on channeling the healing through the ground straight to each recipient.
I saw this clairvoyantly as healing cables running under the ground to their location. It is the same planet and they'll be standing on it somewhere! I also used my intent and the help of the healing angels to clear the group simultaneously, running through each of the chakras and aura layers before grounding, closing and protecting the group as a whole.

Be the Catalyst in Your Life!

The founders of E-Bay spoke at my college graduation ten years ago.  I had to look them up on Google as it's been a long time! Man and wife, met at college. Founded E-bay.

Funny thing is we loved the wife's address, but didn't particularly appreciate her husband's. She talked about how important it was to be the catalyst in life. Be the change you want to see. If you want something to happen or even just think it needs to, go for it! It was a long time ago and I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember the phrase Be the Catalyst!  

Her husband went on to talk about Ebay - what it was like founding it. His inspiration and the wonderful life it afforded him. Sounds like an interesting speech but it didn't resonate with me at the moment, after all I was busy looking for a job and he told us that he started E-Bay as an automatic auction house because he didn't want to work in the first place. The business could run smoothly from Day 15 without his involvement. It didn't matter if he was at work or not, things would get shipped. Auctioneers would send their goods, the buyers would receive it. It afforded him enough time to go surfing and the opportunity not to work (if he didn't feel like it, I still find it hard to believe that you can run E-Bay without going to work).

His message was to start a business that ticked on without our continued presence. Freedom. Financial Independence. Interesting!

That idea popped into my mind again this morning on my commute to work - my long commute to work. I had a brilliant idea over the weekend and will be working on putting it into place. 

The other thought that came to mind was Dr. Wayne Dyer's point about staying on purpose. We can be successful and fullfilled as long as we're on purpose. So my mission will be to stay on purpose with my energy healing pursuits, and my vision is to take it mainstream. 

Stay tuned ...

The Dark Forrest (Tarot Reading)


Temperance: I am running down a slippery path in the woods and I stumble because I’m too hurried and panicked. I can feel myself falling head first but someone catches me and helps me stand up again. The angel brushes the hair out of my face, holding me up while I collect myself. They tell me not to hurry, be more tempered and calm in your path. Slowly but surely, you’ll make it. I’ve stumbled in real life this week because of my haste to get out, but my real life guardians threw me a life line. They won’t let me flounder, despite my best efforts and I had that to be grateful for. I’ll be in The Dark Forest a while longer. Its dark and damp but not threatening and I’ll just have to walk carefully. Calm and relaxed. 
Three of Swords: Seeing this visual is like a kick in the stomach, three swords running through a bleeding heart. It is a sharp pain and it muddles my emotions and feelings, casting a cloud over my mind and heart so that I can’t see straight. The images on the card speak volumes: the pierced heart is behind a stained glass cage. I feel cut off and disconnected when this happens. This is how I felt after being coached this afternoon - the suggestion that I should try to keep my day job because it’s safe really got to me. Flexible hours could work while I’m up and running. The truth is my inner peace doesn’t depend on a city or a fancy job or nights out with the girls. The fancy lifestyle. I am wanting more than that and in a way I think I’ve experienced a death. My soul is going through one of those  dark loops before we come out on top. Just need to go with it and see what happens. 
King of Wands:  This was a good card to get! The first thing that caught my eye was the King’s feet, one of his shoes is forward like he’s ready to go and the other one is tucked behind his cloak. That is how I feel now, like I’m ready and rearing to go but still keeping a few cards hidden (or maybe I should have kept a few cards hidden).  The King of Wands is about bringing fire, passion and drive to your creative pursuits and running the show. I take this to mean that self-employment is still something that I should look into. Beyond that I was drawn to the Lions on top of the throne which are about being strong but gentle, fierce when you have to be and confident. There are also two rams to either side which are about persistence and breaking through obstacles. Then the lizard on his cloak and on the chair which are about creative passion and drive. Finally the happy and relaxed look on the King of Wand’s face, which tells me that he brings all these together easily. So when I have a chance to develop each of these attributes I will be ready to go. 
Seven of Pentacles: We see a man who stands on a straight dirt path, having walked a few miles. To his left a tall crop of plants & five gold coins. To his right a lawn with one golden coin and a rabbit jumping head first into the grass. Everything  I’ve experienced up until this moment - every opportunity and every closed door - happened with the express purpose of me ending up here. It doesn’t even feel like a choice, it’s an opportunity. There is a new gold coin and if I take it I need to leave that path. The second message is that I’m not really losing anything by taking this new route. I’ve been fairly compensated for my work to date so I’m not losing out on anything. The skills and experiences will follow me to my next adventure. My eye is drawn to that little rabbits, its diving head first into the new field and I can’t see where it will go. I keep thinking of a portal, for some reason. 
Six of Pentacles: This card shows a nobleman giving donations to beggars on the street. My 1st question was, am I the beggar or the giver? I got the answer that I will never be that poor, but there will be “pennies” handed out. My handouts will be to reduce spiritual poverty, and I’ll help lots of people one little bit at a time. I’m still worried about the poverty bit, I don’t want that for myself. This is a concept that I’m struggling with, is it because I have this idea that spiritual people are bound to be poor (me?). That is a program that needs clearing! I need to work through my attitudes toward money and spirituality. Can’t expect to launch a successful healing and psychic business unless I program myself to do well!

Burned, Hung and Drowned in a Past Life

Today I went for Spiritual Response Therapy and the things the pendulum pointed out were shocking! Apparently I have been burned, hung, and drowned in many past lives. Mostly because I have a history of channeling messages from Spirit. In most instances, I was betrayed by my community and even by family. It came up at least three times in the scanning process! Can't say I was surprised. This explains my reaction when a colleague accused me of witchcraft a few months ago. He didn't say it in a nasty way but it was all I could do to keep my imagination from running in dark directions. Think I might use this as inspiration to write a story about past-life traumas.


This might also explain why I had to move across the world before I could open up to healings and readings again. It's a lot easier to experiment with this kind of thing when you're far from home and no one finds out about it. My extended family is very Catholic and I haven't told them about my new hobbies. To be fair, my siblings have been really supportive and they do know all about the blog. When I was younger they used to give me a hard time about not going to mass, usually in jest, but those days are long gone. It's also just dawning on me that this past-life trauma could also be the reason for my quiet nature. I don't voice my opinions as often as I should. It's like I'm hiding my true self. 

Today's healing was interesting. It's called Spiritual Response Therapy. It's something I will need to look into. Essentially the healer used a clear quartz pendulum to scan for  past-life issues that needed healing. She had this neat little book full of diagrams and the pendulum would point out the issue that needed resolving. Her intent was to find anything that was holding me back from setting up a healing practice. I had lots of fears come up: fear of failure, fear of disappointing. I'm glad we managed to clear those and now I just need to watch my thoughts and keep them positive (or at least neutral). It was a productive session and we followed up with a great reading about my business plan. Not only am I an energy healer, but I am meant to write about healing so that others will open up to it as well! Funny because I hadn't mentioned the blog to her in much detail but it came through very strongly.

A Steaming Tea Pot

When I decided to move to London 3 years ago everyone told me I was crazy. I'd quit my job in Mexico to go travelling and when the trip was done I realised I didn't want to go home. I figured, why not move to London and look for a job? It was early 2009, the stock market had just crashed and everything we read and heard about London and New York was financial doom. I felt like I had to do it. For some reason the UK government saw fit to give me a work visa, with no job offer, and how was I going to turn down that opportunity. So I moved to London, rented a flat for 6 months and started sending out CVs. It was nerve wracking but somehow three months later I had found a job and I was working. 

At the time, I hadn't heard of Energy Healing or any of the things I like doing now. That was at least one year before I stumbled upon the Could I be a Healer class at the College of Psychic Studies. Since then a lot has happened career-wise. I've been promoted to a job I really liked, and then early this year our team shuffled around and the past 6 months I've been doing a job that isn't for me. And all along in the background I've been working towards an accreditation in Energy Healing. It started out as a hobby and slowly turned into something I would really like to do as my day job. On some level I've given Energy Healing serious consideration this year because I was so unhappy with my day job. 

A couple months ago I started pushing for a change at work, and looking for opportunities outside the company as well. If all else failed, come September I could quit my job and try healings and reading instead. And writing, let's not forget writing! The more I think about it the more appealing it sounds and two weeks ago I decided to call it quits. The question was when???? "When" is the question I ask myself when I am procrastinating. Do I quit now, knowing that I have to hand in at least 3 months notice, or do I wait and quit after we're accredited? And am I  quitting because I can't stand my job, or because I want to do something else with my life? I might not be so keen if I wasn't so fed up. 


This question and these feelings have been bubbling up for months and this week the steam pot finally started whistling.  I made up my mind to call it quits on a full-time job and started thinking about how I should go about it. The move it terrifying, but rationally I don't see why I should be so scared to take a leap. Is it more or less of a risk than hopping on a plane to London and finding a job? I am convinced I was guided to move to this country and there have been plenty of signs telling me it's time to walk away from my day job. I like having the safety net but its too time consuming and it keeps me from focusing the things I want to do. 

We're told signs from Spirit come in threes (or maybe that they are confirmed in threes). The past few weeks I've card readings from three different friends and they have all spelled out "successful self-employment" as my next step. This afternoon I'm meeting one of my tutors for a coaching session on setting up a healing business. I'm pretty convinced about moving into healing but I have all of these little fears to get over. Will it be enough to pay my bills? Should I stay in London or set up shop somewhere else? I could stay in London for another year or so, but after that I think I want to go home to Mexico. Or even to the US. I need to spend a lot of time in quiet contemplation this weekend.  

As luck would have it I was finally offered a cool new day job, one that I would start in September. So now it really is down to choosing between carrying on doing what I've always been doing, or taking yet another leap in the right direction. Wish I could say I have nerves of steel but I've been a wreck all week ....
