The Spiritual Significance of Pain

I read my cards and they scared me, it took a couple days to make sense of it because I was so put off. The first one I got was Suffering, the 2nd one was Death, and the 3rd one was Rebellion. The three of them were very red and heavy in terms of color, I guess what freaked me out more than anything is that I was asking about my job got such a violent, physical reply (maybe I'm being too literal?)

The 1st one talked about the fear of pain and how sometimes you can't get away from it and it helps to ground you. The only encouraging message was that I would be able to handle whatever was sent my way, and that I'd heal from it with patience, time and help from my guides & angels.  The 2nd one is about the end of a cycle, easy enough, and the 3rd one was about my warrior guides helping me deal with my rebellion against authority. Not sure what that means, but I guess I can take away that my warrior guides will help.

The pain is supposed to ground you, and that's what my sciatica does whenever I have it. I usually get shooting pains in my back when I'm daydreaming about work, usually lofty dreams about what I'd like to accomplish and the shooting pain in my side always brings me back to life. I've been happy overall, calm, peaceful. But I have had 2 sudden attacks, the 1st one when we were in an inspirational meeting with the team, and the other one on a weekend when I started daydreaming about my career (sad).

I guess the pain is meant to ground me in the present moment?  I'll do my best to try that on my own, I'm sure if I'm feeling it I still have real issues to face.

So tough this emotional body of mine!

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...

Vibrational Medicine by Dr Richard Gerber (Book Review)

People often ask if energy healing depends on the belief of the client - the placebo effect is real .  And while we   can  harness it by working through feelings and beliefs  that may undermine the healing process,   when I worked in  consumer  healthcare, research was  expected to outperform the placebo.   This is why I was happy to find a  book called  Vibrational Medicine,  by Dr Richard Gerber. It goes  through research done in labs and clinical settings. The book is a brick: 500 pages and almost too technical, but worth reading as an energy healer.   Below you will find highlights from Chapter 8 on Psychic Healing. Please note ,  Energy Healing is complementary to medical care, not alternative.   Dr. Gerber uses the term  'Psychic Healing'  throughout the book; however, in my own practice, I refer to these concepts as  'Energy Healing' based on my studies . Vibrational Medicine, by Richar...
