Using Karma to Our Advantage

I used to have this concept of karma as a divine retribution system, where things we did selfishly came back to haunt us. Then I read a fantastic book called The Essential Dalai Lama :  a compilation of essays and speeches on Buddhism, including a chapter on karma. That’s when I learned that we can use the law of causality to create luck for ourselves and for others.  Before we talk about karma, let's begin with Cause and Effect: The idea is that everything we experience is brought about by an action of ours. This includes job opportunities, relationships, coincidences, etc. It has been said that   success is the result of  hard work and luck. Well, we can use the  karma to manifest all sorts of good luck for ourselves. It isn't magic, where you focus on a specific outcome. Instead, we are led to the right place at the right time. By now I'm sure you are wondering how we generate good karma (and hopefully lots of it).  Our kar...

Predicting the Future - or Not?

Today we're going to talk about the Future. This is a funny one. The future doesn’t exist, but people ask about it all the time. Just this weekend I had an email from a potential client asking about psychic readings. She wanted to know if I predicted the future, and how much I charged for it. The short answer is NO. I have yet to see the future. We can  put 2 and 2 together and predict that if you continue doing XY or Z, you will find yourself in a pickle. But that’s not predicting the future. It’s using common sense and relying on our intuition. For starters, I don’t believe that the future is set in stone. We are constantly creating it with our choices, our beliefs, our thoughts and our energy. And if I had to choose between predicting the future and creating it, I would go for the latter. I like to think of life as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” novel where your choices determine the path you’re on. If you’re not familiar with the books, Choose Your Own Adventure is a ...

Five Steps to Manifest Your Goals

Today I'm going to share a little secret (quick, tell your friends!); Energy Healing can also be used to manifest our goals. I like to think in terms of goals, because we are on a journey of co-creation. Divine intervention always helps, but personal initiative makes a huge difference.  Even when it comes to magick we’re told to set an intention, ask for spiritual support, and take the steps necessary to make it happen (action). " The dream is free, the hustle is sold separately!" Give it some thought, and happy manifesting!      Intuitive Goal Setting Tips 1) SELF-REFLECTION. Think about your life, where you are now and how you want to evolve. Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? This can include relationships, career, starting a family, moving to a new location, paying for college, grad school, etc. It's also a good idea to connect with your Higher Self and ask for permission. We don't want to manifest something that will hurt or unduly influen...

Christianity 101 - Part 1

A few months ago I published a post called Buddhism 101 . It struck me that the compassionate philosophy is similar to Christianity. Buddha also taught that we have responsibility to end suffering in the world, which is similar to Jesus's concern for the poor. Though personally, I don't think suffering is limited to the poor. Anti-depressants wouldn't be so common in developed nations if it were.  Anyhow, back to the title subject. If you've read my blog, its no secret that I drifted away from Catholicism a while ago (read the post called  Losing My Religion ). It wasn't until I got into energy healing that I reconnected with  Jesus the Healer , if not  Jesus the Son of God . After all, Jesus was known for healing the sick, performing miracles and teaching compassion. Unfortunately Christians get a bad rap these days and I started to wonder: where is the disconnect?  Sooo , a few weeks ago I downloaded three versions of the New Testament: Gre...

Energy Healing, Cords and Relationships - Part 2

Last week I shared a post on energy cords, relationships and what we stand to gain by healing them ( see here ).  If you missed it, relationship cords are threads of energy that connect us with the people we know and see most often: friends, family, colleagues, etc. They allow for the passage of friendly vibes, but they can also absorb emotions like stress, frustration or jealousy: the by-product of our daily interactions. The good news is we can clear and heal these cords. Today I’m going to talk you through a short healing meditation that you can use to clear the air on a regular basis. The idea is to connect with the other person's higher self and have a heart to heart, airing your concerns and listening to theirs. Cord Healing Meditation Find a quiet place to sit.  Think of a relationship that you’d like to work on. With your eyes closed, invite that person to join you. Visualise them taking a seat across from you, at a comfortable and peaceful distance....
