A Season for Giving

My angels like to remind me that the holidays are about giving and receiving, with good reason. When we collectively feel kind and generous a cosmic window opens up to let even more blessings into the world. Some of these blessings come our way, others to to people who are more ready to receive. 

I am not sure what the difference is, but I would like to think that being happy and willing to give plays a part in it. So give a smile, give a little bit of your time, give a hug, or a friendly word to someone on the street (or in your life). This Christmas I am giving my full attention to my family so this blog is going on holiday, for real this time. See you in 2014!

Doing, Thinking or Being?

I had a great reading this week at The College of Psychic Studies (Awww, I am going to miss my psychic schools when I move to Mexico next month). I have always considered myself a doer and an (over) thinker. And now that I am a qualified Healer, I assumed that I would do a lot of healings. Busy busy. 

What the reading suggested, however, was that I simply be. Without trying to do anything, and that the healing would happen by proximity. Maybe I give off happy healing vibes (smiling!). I like the idea and it also takes some of the pressure off. 

This Tuesday I will put it in practice. It's my first official day befriending cancer patients at the centre where I practice Reiki. The job description for a befriender is to sit and listen. It's not about doing anything to help (there is only so much you can do or say). We're just there for them. 

Yesterday's readings couldn't have come at a better time. The past few months I have been keen to volunteer as  a Healer but it's about what they need, not what I think I have to offer. And if the client needs me to sit and hold the space, that works for me.

Learning to CoExist on the Internet

When I was about eight or nine, my mom sent me to Jewish summer camp. We were Catholic and to this day I have always thought she must have had a weird mental lapse when that happened. It wasn't fun being the only Catholic kid. I had never met anyone who didn't think Jesus was the Son of God.

I had also never met anyone who didn't believe in or care about Mother Mary. I was shell shocked and for the first few days I kept asking them questions. Not because I disagreed with their faith, but because I  couldn't wrap my head around it. What do you mean you don't believe in X, Y or Z?

Lunch time was also a surprise. The other kids told on me for not bringing a kosher lunch and I had to wait until after camp to eat it. Where were all of these rules from? The only food rule we had was "no meat on Fridays in Lent." That summer was an eye opener for so many reasons. 

Why do I bring this up now? 

Facebook is Why. We all led relatively sheltered lives in the age before the internet. We knew the people around us and what we saw on the news. And our experience of reality had smaller boundaries. How many Buddhists are there in Kansas? How many Bible Belt Christians in Delhi or London? If we think of spirituality, religion and culture as a range of colors, the palette varies from place to place. The likelihood of us being splashed with a new or different color was not high, until now. 

The internet changed all that. Now that I am on the blogosphere, I sometimes have people telling me that God is against intuitive readings. Which is a shame really, because intuition is nothing more than learning how to Listen when we ask for help and for guidance. Anyone can do it, though for some reason it's easier to read for others than for yourself (less worry and wishful thinking). 

But we all have different backgrounds and for some that is The Belief. It's not my belief and sometimes they call me on it. I don't know why we humans are so keen on telling people what is "right" or "wrong." I've done it too, so I'm not pointing fingers. Sometimes it can be hard not to call it like we see it ... 

I wonder why?
