Diary of a Psychic Healer

Hiro Nakamura was my favorite character on Heroes. They were all pretty cool, even the baddies, but Hiro was the best. It always cracked me up when he called himself the Master of Time and Space. He  would also squint/blink himself into a different location, usually to rescue someone from danger.  So today I went to a class on Time Travel workshop. If you are wondering, we didn't teletransport ourselves to another time or place. Thank God that is impossible.  I imagine the real experience would be a lot more frightening than Michael J Fox would have you think. Instead, we followed guided meditations to view our past lives, from the comfort of a nice yoga mat and hard wood floors in South Kensington. It was pretty cool. During the first meditation I saw myself in a Central American jungle scene, under the stars and near an archaeological site. I think I was some sort of a medicine woman or healer (big surprise) and it felt like I was grounded, less of a thi...

There are a lot of reasons why I keep going back to the Kabbalah Centre. Something always clicks and even if I don't agree with everything said; there are a lot of good ideas that I can apply to my life. Yesterday we had a no nonsense lecture on MONEY and how to bring more of it into your life. Some spiritual personality types shy away from the desire to be rich, thinking that they would have to be greedy little dudes to focus on having more cash.  But at the same time, we all have to think about rent and bills. It is also nice to have extra for holidays, a nice place to live, etc. So where do we draw the line between wanting enough and wanting too much?  And what about quality of life: do we want to spend time, energy and life force chasing dough?  Yesterday's class didn't cover this (haha), but in the past we have talked about money being neutral. Not good or bad. It's what you do with it that matters - and what you do to earn it. Say, quality of life, legality, e...

My channeling class came to an end this week. Like so many things. My time in London is winding down and for once I didn't feel sad. Rather, I found myself feeling grateful for four wonderful years. To think that so much has changed since I randomly moved here in 2009. At the time, I had never really heard of healing. Reiki Shmeiki. I didn't know spirit guides existed or that we could actually communicate with them and with our angels. Astrology was something I poked fun at (though I am still not a fan of horoscopes). And I had never had a psychic reading, much less given one.  It's been a fun ride. Not sure what comes next but I am sure it will also be fantastic. And you never know, I may be back someday. But let's not get ahead of ourselves lol. The decision to go is fresh, only a few days old. And I am not leaving for a few months.  A lot can happen in a couple of months :-)  Thank you for reading!

People often ask me how they can be sure they are on the 'right spiritual path'. Are they doing what they are supposed to be doing? I have wondered the same thing myself a few times. Am I living the life I was meant to lead?  And really, what does that even mean?  Who knows what we are supposed to be doing ?  Today it finally dawned on me that we're here to be ourselves, to learn to live authentic, heart-centred lives. For some this might mean being a devoted mother or father. Others might find a career that they feel passionate about. Or they may juggle both. So long as we live in the moment and bring love into our sphere of influence, we're on the right track. We can choose to do this on a large scale, or deeply touch the people we come into contact with in our daily lives.  It's about our interactions with the people we meet, the environment, society, you name it. Every moment brings an opportunity to channel a little love and light into the world. How we do ...

Yesterday I went to channeling class.  I never thought I would take the seat in front of the group and channel a message but I did! Sort of. The energy that came through all evening was Merlinesque and at times a little bit theatrical. As an observer, it felt and looked like play acting.  We sat in a semi-circle and faced an empty red chair at the front. There was no particular order to speak.  At first I thought I wouldn't say anything, then I considered staying in my own chair and saying a few words about magic.  The first performances (ahem, messages) were fun to watch. More than the words, I was in awe of the energy flair in the room. It was pretty amazing. Then the group became very reluctant to continue, and when it seemed like we were running out of volunteers I began to feel like I had to sit in the chair. Just sit. See what it felt like. I didn't think anything would happen and I still wasn't planning on channeling any messages. I did...

So it's official! I am moving back to Mexico.  London is lovely but I need to touch base and reconnect with my family and friends. Will I stay forever and ever? Given my track record, probably not. After all, London was my sixth city and fourth country (in three decades of life) so the idea of staying in one place for the rest of my days is highly unlikely. But Mexico it is, for now.  For once, I am not going to think of the "after Mexico step" either. I have a couple ideas on my radar. Will just let them sit for now. I want to write my second book. That and my personal life are the only things I will focus on now. This is me taking it one step at a time. Feels good not to have a master plan. I also want to give myself time to think about what I really want to do.    What makes me happy? Like really happy ...  I had been toying with the idea of starting an MA in Transpersonal Psych to complement my energy healing. Helpful from a counseling and cl...

Last year I went looking for a scientific explanation of energy healing. On some level, I may doubt myself, but more than anything I wonder how it works. So I went looking for facts to explain my interests and I stumbled upon a group of skeptical and sometimes angry MD's.  It wasn’t obvious to me from the name, but the forum is dedicated to debunking complementary and alternative therapies. The first post I commented on was about the danger of patients rejecting cancer treatment for natural and alternative therapies, which would be upsetting on so many levels. More on that below.  I joined the conversation, saying that complementary therapies can help people relax, face their fears and cope with the disease. It is not an either-or case with medical care and energy healing.    I made the mistake of introducing myself as a Reiki practitioner. I tried to highlight the complementary side, there was a bit of back and forth which led to me being told:  ...
