An Experience of Flowers, Crystals and Reiki

I had a crazy experience with crystals a few years ago and I forgot to blog about it. Here it goes! I found tumbled carnelians in a shop. Most crystals have great energy to begin with, and I do clear them before activating them. But on my way home, I took a small carnelian out of the bag and held it in my palm. It didn’t seem happy. 

My hand stung after a while; it felt like the crystal was angry. Instead of clearing and keeping it, I decided to return it to nature. Burying crystals is a great way to clear their energy. But I just happened to walk past a huge flowerbed, and without thinking, I tossed it into the flowers 🌷

Three days later I walked past the flowers and they were drooping. The flowerbed was about 6 feet wide and the whole thing looked terrible. I felt awful - so I gave the flowers Reiki for a few minutes and left. It didn’t help. A friend joined me later that week and we spent a lot of time sending healing to the flowers. When I checked again, everything was back to normal! 

Lately I’ve been thinking about this experience and how crystals, reiki and water can help us bloom. Also, how the effects of energy healing are not psychological or based on belief. Based on this particular example, I’d say that it doesn’t matter if we connect with crystals logically or not. Let’s give ourselves the chance to receive light and healing.

Visualize white light radiating through your aura and your water. And yes, clear your crystals before connecting them. 

And of course, Chakra Healing & Magick looks at crystals, energy healing and other kinds of magick in depth. I published the book a year or so after the experience that I have described here. You’ll find a flower mandala on the cover, the idea is to let yourself bloom! 🌷🌷🌷

The book is available on Amazon, now in Spanish too! 🫶🏻 Bookstore Here

Shine your Light Unapologetically

The sun is at 29 degrees Leo today - that is my North Node in my astrology chart. It represents what I need to do to bust out of limiting patterns. The key message is to shine without dimming my light. I’ve been working on it for a long time and although I’ve made big advances, there was still a behavioral pattern that I had to kick. 

My sun is in Aquarius - which means taking the role of the observer comes naturally, but the North Node pushes me to take my place center stage. 

Without going into the details of my chart, Leo rules my mission and happiness in life (if I choose to accept it), but I also have three heavy planets in Virgo, a sign that encourages us to be humble. And in my case, to hide my light because I didn’t want to be a show off, seem arrogant, or make others feel uncomfortable. 

As you'll know from reading Diary of a Psychic Healer, I've been on a spiritual deep dive for 14 years.

I have this pattern where I downplay the amount of time, energy and diligence that has gone into my energy healing and spiritual studies. So for example, earlier this month I wrote an Instagram post that questioned the popular New Age Lionsgate trend. Instead of just saying “I don’t see this in the stars,” I began that post with a disclaimer of “if I am reading this right.” 

My intention was to imply that I didn’t have the truth, not that I didn’t know how to read astrology charts. I wasn’t sure if that trend was rooted in aspect patterns in astrology, the general timing of the year, or pop culture numerology (my guess was the latter). 

A friend shared my post on her wall. It was met by criticism from a lady who funny enough, mirrored the critical Virgo voice that runs through my mind: am I good enough, do I know enough, did I phrase this right??? She questioned my astrology knowledge and implied that my content didn’t merit a share. I had a huge Aha Moment: I don’t need to defend my credentials to anyone, least of all a stranger online. 

I’ve been exploring astrology in detail since 2009 when Jan Spiller’s Astrology for a Soul just got me. My formal studies came later, in 2015 & 2016, and by 2017 I was teaching experimental astro workshops. In real life interactions I tend to downplay how much time and energy I’ve dedicated to my craft, but it’s apparent on this blog. 

This month’s lesson is not to downplay my talent or experience; something that I have been doing for far too long. Even in my corporate days, a friend insisted that I should put my MBA diploma on my wall (as another colleague did) so that people would know that I had a masters. I didn’t want to brag. Plus I thought it was enough that my bosses & HR knew. In hindsight I’m not sure that it would have made a difference because my ability to deliver on projects was more important. My enthusiasm and commitment were more than enough too.

Or so I thought… 

Since then I’ve had flashbacks to instances where I downplayed my track record with energy healing, or when I praised someone’s work in a way that made them believe they had more experience and stature than I did. Those interactions seemed harmless, but the ego dynamic (faux humility and shrinking to please) creates an unbalanced relationship. It takes a lot to come back from that, no matter how long we’ve been on the spiritual path. 

My life lesson has been to shine brightly and let whoever wants to stick around, stick around. It takes courage to shine your light no matter who is in your orbit, and not to feel too big (or too small) around someone who also has power. 

Also, my Higher Self tells me that if I don’t shine as brightly as I can, I’m not doing my part. That perhaps, was the biggest lesson of all 🦁

Reiki hugs, 

Regina 

Ps…. Read my books; they are both awesome.

Grounding Yourself in the Divine Feminine

Last night I did a meditation to develop more of a sense of security within myself. It’s part of a class that I’ve been taking the past few months. The teacher guided us through a visualization where we became aware of our connection with the Divine. 

My intuition kept pointing me towards the Divine Feminine in the form of an ancient egyptian goddess, a mix of Isis & Astarte. My family is originally Lebanese, on my mom’s side, and both were popular in the general region. The one in the picture is Hathor (at the British Museum).

My intuition followed through with a clear message: imagine a matrushka - the Mother Goddess is on the outside, then your Higher Self, then you. Like cosmic Aura layers. These visuals weren’t part of the meditation, but they made perfect sense. I loved the metaphor, and funny enough, the past few days I had found myself questioning the concept of a Higher Self. 

This clicked for me and it also resonates from a kabbalistic point of view, in terms of the different parts of the Soul; a little piece of us is connected to that outer most matrushka. There are also parallels in how that feminine energy is described in Kabbalistic books and my favorite Green Tara book. There are obvious variations for each time and culture, but there is a common thread that in the concepts. 

My feeling is that each culture perceives that energy through its lens.  The easiest way to get a sense of that is in meditation! 

Reiki hugs,

Integrating With Your Higher Self (Astrology & Healing)

I've been on a blogging sabbatical for about six months but it's time to start again. Today I sat in the park and meditated for a while - the images that came through were awesome and I want to share. A few years ago I wrote about the transpersonal chakras, basically a system with 12 or 13 energy centers. We have the seven chakras that most healers and yoguis are familiar with, an additional four that can be found in the Aura, and one near your heart. These chakras are about our connection with soul, spirit and the universe.  

Anyhooo, I haven't found any books about these chakras and whenever I sit down to meditate, I tend to get glimpses of how they work. The idea is that our seven main chakras have to do with the physical body and our personalities, starting with the root chakra at the bottom of the spine and going all the way up to the Crown. The first transpersonal chakra is the Earth Star; it gives us deeper grounding so we can connect with spirit. 

FYI - This is an advanced energy healing post; read my books for an introduction 💛

You'll find a lengthy description here, but the Earth Star Chakra makes it possible for us to connect with Nature including crystals, trees, plants and flowers. It is found 6-12 inches beneath your feet in the Aura. In school we learned to activate this energy center, as well as the Higher Heart before reaching for the stars with the chakras that are over the head. It's a good idea to work with the main seven for a few years before activating the ones over the head. The techniques in my chakra book lay the groundwork; I also have guided meditations on Instagram and Youtube for you to follow. 

Today I meditated on the Earth Star Chakra and on these transpersonal chakras:  

• Stellar Gateway. I get the sense of this being the pathway for your Higher Self; how its energy flows down into your soul and then to your physical body. In other meditations this where I've felt my Higher Self's astrological chart. It's based on a Zodiac that relates to the Moon's Nodes and your path to happiness in this life. Known as the Draconic Chart, you'll see an extra layer of spiritual energy that is available in your daily life - essentially wings that you can spread to gain more light, power and ease (work in progress here!)

• Soular (Soul Star) Chakra: This is where we find the energy of ancestors, past lives and where the energy of your birth chart is found. This energy flows from the Soul Star Chakra through the four main layers in the Aura, influencing our thoughts, feelings, emotions and how we interact with others. I like to focus my self healing sessions on my astrology chart - it's a wonderful map to work with. 

As usual, I went through the basics of grounding myself in mother nature, bringing white light down from above and then activating and shielding my Aura (read Chapter 5 of Chakra Healing & Magick). I spent a lot of time on my manifesting chakras: Root, Sacral & Solar Plexus before turning my attention to the Heart Chakra. 

Then came the good stuff: intuitively, I saw my Stellar Gateway switch on, a brilliant white light. My intuition said to connect my Stellar Gateway and Soular Chakras. I saw this as a beam of silver light between them. This brought their energies together, including two layers of astrology. 

If you've seen a natal chart, it maps out where the planets were when we were born. This influences your personality, strengths, weaknesses and it creates a lot of blind spots as well. I tend to focus astrology sessions on energy healing and empowerment - essentially how to become more well rounded. For example, I don't have much Fire in my natal chart but there is a ton of fire in my Higher Self's astrology chart.  

You'll find my natal chart below. Don't worry if you're not familiar with an astrology chart. The outermost circle is where you'll find the symbols for the 12 Zodiac signs (in red, green, blue and yellow). The blue icons on the inner circle are the planets at my time of birth, my natal chart.

The red icons on the middle wheel represent the energy that my Higher Self has to support me in this life (Draconic Chart). My intuition says that by activating the Stellar Gateway and bringing it into alignment with the Soular Chakra, we can get both of these energies to work together. 

Think of this as a relationship chart with your whole self. As you'll see, the middle circle has the Moon in Leo as well as Saturn, Mars and Jupiter in Aries (this is my Draconic or Higher Self chart). Today, I got a sense of all that fiery energy flowing through my Aura into my consciousness, filling me with fire and confidence. 

Join me on Intagram for chakra meditations. If you'd like to know more about natal astrology, I have a highlight in my Instagram stickers too.

Finding our Way to Inner Peace 🕊

I took a Reiki class on Monday - taught by William Rand of the International Center for Reiki Training. His school offers energy upgrades for Reiki Masters and this one was focused on World Peace. It was awesome, I honestly feel less anxiety floating around my subconscious. 

The class was meant to help us cope with what seems like never ending stress and escalating conflict, with the world coming out of the pandemic, into a war.

At the time I had all of these intuitions about the absence of peace and where it comes from. I want to share my thoughts, as best I can, because a lot of it has slipped away.

Thoughts on The Absence of Peace: 

• Biological Stress and Anxiety: In some cases stress or turmoil might be due to chemical imbalances in the brain. This is not my area of work, but a person would benefit from seeing a mental health professional. One of my friends has a PhD in genetics and mental health conditions. She works with people who are affected by their DNA and not just their circumstances. Coincidentally, lifestyle factors do influence our mRna, as discussed in my first book, A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love (2013). 

• Stressful Situations: There is also the chaos and alarming news of the past few years, which added to our usual stress levels. The brain is wired to keep an eye out for threats and emergencies, no doubt a remnant of our survival and wilderness days - which are only a few centuries behind us. The amygdala is triggered when we are stressed; the body goes into fight, flight or freeze mode. In time, we may find ourselves in a state of constant stress. This lowers our immune system, as physical energy is redirected to crisis management. 

• We also have individual joys, concerns and responsibilities (life!). This may be what we think about on a day-to-day basis, but the collective adds weight to our shoulders.  

• Health & Financial Worries. The pandemic put both of these under a huge stress-test, even at odds with each other. My blog has international readership; the experience will have varied for those in the USA or Europe vs India or Mexico. When it comes to individual health concerns, it's not just covid - there are so many things to think about. Reiki & meditation have been great stress-relief tools for me and with the World Peace Upgrade, I feel like it goes deeper even though it’s only been a few days. 
• Our mental chatter is a big one too. Stress relief tools & meditation are essential, so long as we include meditations to calm the mind and to process underlying emotions.

• In terms of healing the rift, I'm a fan of combining conventional health care (or economic measures) with coping mechanisms and a bit of soul healing. As mentioned in my Self-Healing, Cancer & Love book, Reiki is one option but there are lots of things that we can do to bring a sense of peace into our lives. Here is an intro to meditation from a cancer survivor conference. And obviously, counseling is wonderful too!  

• The macro level is beyond our control - this is where a lot of stress and uncertainty come from. What matters is that we have coping tools, that we focus on what is in front of us, and that we lean on each other! 💙💙  

 

Let's Meditate Together 🔗🕊

 

• War & Violence: This one is the toughest to address. As reiki practitioners, we learn to use the distance reiki symbol in the 2nd level. This is used to send Reiki to the root cause of a problem, or to send Reiki across time and space (sounds like science fiction!) When there is a natural disaster or a crisis, we send Reiki with then intention to alleviate suffering. Ideally we'd also send Reiki to people causing that pain. The idea is that the damaged parts of human nature are the ones lash out and create havoc. We send healing to the people causing pain, so that they stop acting out and hurting others. 

• It is important to look at our own damaged parts - William Rand calls it the unhealed parts of our ego. What part of me feels anger, envy, jealousy or hurt? Are there voids that I try to fill with approval, status or competitive behavior? We can send Reiki to people in our surroundings who cause pain on a smaller scale too. 

• There is an element of Free Will when it comes to receiving Reiki. In healing school, we were taught to ask our intuition for permission before sending healing to someone else. We can also set the intention for it to flow to someone who needs it, if by chance, the intended recipient rejects it on a Soul or Higher Self level.  

• Grief & Emotional Pain: This one is tough too. How do we process feelings like grief, anger, anguish or even hatred and revenge? (We do live in that world). In 2019 I wrote a post called The Mechanics of Forgiveness an essential step on the road to peace, but curiously, not the most important one. Reiki is wonderful and I swear by it, but we need strong emotional skills from an early age. We may need counseling as well as a deep cultural shift. To quote my book, A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love:  

 

We need to learn to work with our emotions on a daily basis so that our lives are empowered by our changing mood states and not held hostage by them - Regina Chouza

Raise Your Vibes TV Interview

A few months ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Athena Bahri of Crystal Reiki Healer. If you're not familiar with Athena, she has a very sweet, informative and popular Instagram page where one can learn a ton about crystals.  

We talked about Reiki for Kids, how to support loved ones through cancer treatments (and how to look after the whole family), as well as the value of emotional healing in life. It aired on Athena's weekly Raise Your Vibes show. 

Watch the Interview (YouTube).

Athena also has a wonderful book called Raise Your Vibes; it made me think about Reiki in a way that I never expected. 

Let's share with friends, the more the merrier!

Reiki hugs, 

Regina 💜
