Finding Guidance in the Right Places

One of my guides was a psychologist in a past life. I only found out recently, when I was pondering my future and thinking it would be good to have someone to talk to about my life. Yes I have family and friends but some things are best said to a professional. The challenge with me is that so much of my life is now influenced by my healing, readings and intuition that I'm not sure what I could say to a living psychologist without them throwing me in a straight jacket.

Yesterday for example, I had lunch with a friend and she brought along Doreen Virtue's new Angel Reading tarot cards. I told her about my misgivings with my current job, and this feeling that I want to change directions without knowing where I should go. I know where I want to go, healing and counseling, but should I play it safe for a few more years and stick with a conventional day job?
She pulled three cards for me and we were shocked at how accurate they were:

1. Don't cry over spilled milk, you're not seeing the positive in your current situation.

2. Fears about money and concern over successful self employment.

3. Enjoy the little luxuries in life. Successful self-employment.

Tada!

I was really shocked and pleasantly surprised by the cards. The past few months I've been whining about being stuck in a new job that I didn't really ask for or want. If there is a silver lining I haven't spotted it, but I better look harder. Then the next two cards really answered my question, should I put my energy into finding a day job that I like or should I focus on transitioning to healing, writing and other creative outlets in the future?

I can't imagine going to a non-psychic or spiritual shrink and telling them that this reading is getting me to consider it more seriously. Would they think I was a complete loon? I was thinking about this at the gym yesterday and suddenly I had a thought: my guide was a shrink and he is there to guide me. Ha! And at the same time, I can use his expertise in my healing sessions with clients. Not that I'd advertise myself as a counselor because I'm not, but I have often thought that the basic knowledge would come in handy. Sometimes I'll get very clear insight into a situation and its hard to steer the client in that direction (if its appropriate, a lot of times we are just meant to sit on what we sense during a healing session).

Anyhooo, if there is a qualified shrink out there who is also intuitive, and preferably in London let me know. LOL. I think I'd like to see one myself but more than that I'd like to learn to do what they do. Will have a look online for a few short courses in psychotherapy and counseling. 

In the meantime I will chat with my guide ....

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 .
