Going back to my roots ...

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 client care perspective, though something fun and creative would make me happy. So I am putting psychology and all of the "should" thinking on the shelf.

I would also love to write a fiction book.

The idea scares the bejeezus out of me. I have loved reading since the age of six or seven. It started with Encyclopedia Brown, a little boy detective. By the time I was 10 or 11, I would fake sick to stay home reading the Anne of Green Gables series. It took me two days to get through all eight books. I must've read the whole set half a dozen times. It would be pretty awesome to create a fictional world.

So far, I have taken the plunge with a self-help book on energy healing and cancer. Step two, is turning this blog into a story. A memoir of sorts. That could be a nice bridge between real life and fiction. But for now I will just focus on writing this book and enjoying my last few months in the UK.

One last thought! When I was starting business school ten years ago, we had to hand in a special assignment: mapping out our career path. Even then, I had planned on staying in the corporate world for 15 years, until I turned forty, and leaving to become a writer. Lol.

I made the jump eight years early :-)

Why wait?

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...
