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. The easiest way to get a sense of that is meditation! 💖💖💖🙏🏻

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 meditations in my chakra healing book and on Instagram lay the groundwork. 

Today's meditation focused on the Earth Star Chakra, as well as these two: 

  • 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. 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 comes the good stuff: intuitivelyI 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 does influence our 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 a birth chart, but the outermost circle is where you'll find the symbols for the 12 Zodiac signs. If you look at the wheel below, the blue icons on the inner circle are the planets at my moment of birth.

The red icons on the middle wheel represent the energy that my Higher Self or Spirit has to support me in this life (my Draconic Chart). My intuition tells me 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. 


Next week I'll post a meditation on Instagram where we start to feel the energy of the transpersonal chakras, without going into astrology as that's done one-on-one. If you'd like to know more about natal astrology, stay tuned for introduction level classes this May! 

Read my books for a simple intro to energy healing. You'll find them in the Bookstore. I'm also available for online sessions 💜💜💜

Reiki hugs, 

Regina

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! 💙💙  

 

 

  • 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 💜

The Liberating Power of the Female Buddha (Book Review)

Last year I found a book called TARA: the Liberating Power of the Female Buddha, by Dr Rachael Wooten. The author is a depth psychologist and Tara devotee. It had been on my desk for months. Whenever I'd walk by I'd think to myself, I need to sit down and meditate. Green Tara has such a cool vibe but her energy felt distant somehow. I finally started reading it again this week after meeting up with a friend; it turns out she'd been connecting with Tara too 😅


Tara is a powerful female Buddha - known as Wisdom Moon in her early incarnations. Wisdom Moon is said to have taken on the challenge of becoming enlightened. At the time, the common belief was that only men could become enlightened (haha). What it means to be enlightened is a separate topic, but if it includes clarity, compassion and having a bigger picture view of life - there is no reason why men and women couldn't both become enlightened. 

The name Tara translates as Star. The idea is that the goddess Tara connects you with that infinite light that lights up your life. Her energy is very specific. Tara appears as one of 22 colors or manifestations - almost like a prism. Each color vibration has a specific effect on our hearts and minds. This is where Tara's energy flows easily with energy healing or depth psychology. We can connect with the color vibration that resonates with the part of the psyche that we want to heal and integrate. For example; White Tara is calming and soothing, Green Tara embodies compassion, Orange Tara releases spiritual & emotional poverty. Black Tara is fiercely protective. 

Her purpose is to free us from fear and insecurity and ultimately, to free us from the cycle of rebirth known as samsara. Green Tara is best known; she fills us with healing and compassion, similar to Quan Yin in other traditions. The Green Tara mantra invokes all of these protections: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha. Then each color vibration is associated with a specific intention, mantra and healing power. 


As a Healer, I've found it helpful to connect with Tara and then to visualize whatever color vibration I need at that time. I have tried connecting with Tara by following the energy healing steps in Chapter 5 of Chakra Healing & Magick; just setting the intention to connect with Tara after attuning to divine light. Funny enough, I included a bright shining star in many of the book's energy healing visualizations. Bringing Tara in consciously was an easy next step. 

There are also traditional (beautiful) ways to connect with all aspects of Tara. Dr Wooten goes through a full Tara practice in the book including mantras and many visualizations. It's amazing how the energy shifts after a few dozen repetitions of the basic Green Tara mantra. What I love is that it's always the same energy that we're connecting with - a bright shining star. It's just the vibration that changes with our spiritual, emotional and psychological needs. 

Reiki hugs, 

Regina

My New Healing Space!

So excited because I am finally going back into a proper healing space this week! A friend recommended a co-working that is well suited for therapy and coaching sessions. My lease starts on Tuesday. 

I have an office with a desk for Zoom sessions, and for those of you in Mexico City, a Reiki couch and cozy therapy rooms for angel, astrology and interactive tarot! I may also do crystal healing once I've settled in and seen how the space works.  

The office is perfect because the same building has plenty of spaces to accommodate classes, healing sessions (I wasn't expecting that), and areas where I can interact with others. It will give me the mental space to focus on my work when I'm there, and to disconnect when I'm away. 

I’m also putting the finishing touches on my new Intuitive Astrology class before launching it this Spring. Eight weeks where we learn to read astrology charts, healing ourselves by the light of the stars! 

My main focus is going to be on making friends though and building a community, as I've been out of the loop for a while. I've also been posting more often on Instagram and I hope to do more livestreams as well. Look me up there and on Facebook for guided meditations.


Reach out if you'd like a Zoom session - I'm based in Mexico City (GMT-6) and we can find a time that suits both of us.

Reiki hugs,
