Diary of a Psychic Healer

I use oracle cards all the time for readings, usually the Angel Tarot deck. The messages I receive won't always relate to the description on the card; they are triggered by a visual cue that takes me somewhere else. By now I've probably given hundreds of readings on Facebook over the past few years.  Yesterday I had an idea, what if I took the "healing element" in those readings and translated them into my very own intuitive healing deck? I might just start with a pack of blank index cards, write the message on one side and draw stick figures on the other. Pictograms are the best I can do, but the image will be clear in my mind.  Down the road, I will find someone to illustrate the cards, but for now it will be good to use them myself and experiment with the images, concepts, etc. So that's on the horizon! I could also share them on here and on Facebook if they are pretty. I'll start with one or two images each week and take it from there. =)  I a...

It's time to write about a topic that I should have covered years ago: Psychic Abilities! Last week I wrote about intuition: what it is and how it helps (also where it comes from). We can all use meditation, crystals and other tools to develop our psychic senses, making it easier for us to notice our intuition. So far I have come across seven: clairvoyance, sound, touch, smell, taste, emotional empathy and "just knowing."  Some people call them skills or gifts. In my experience it has been a mix of both. We can use guided meditations to develop all of these senses, but most of us will be naturally gifted in one of them. And we don’t get to choose the “psychic sense” we are good at. It's a surprise!  In my case, clairvoyance was the quickest to develop, I tend to get a combination of images, symbols, colors, even cartoons and movie clips running through my mind. Tarot also works for me because of the imagery.  Clairvoyance can be like playing Pictionary, someone dra...

I went for a long walk along Paseo de la Reforma today, one of the main avenues in Mexico City. The mayors office closes it on Sundays so that pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy the sights. It may be the only activity where people from all backgrounds come together. There are also free meditation, dance and yoga classes at different points. I took my five month old yorkie puppy for a long walk while the rest of my family rode their bikes on Reforma.  It was hot, I was tired and thirsty (so was the puppy), so I stopped for an iced coffee near the Angel of Independence. I sat down to write a few thoughts while my puppy tangled herself around the table legs with her leash. The past few weeks I've been thinking about how atheists have it right. Does God exist or is He just a concept we've come up with to make sense of things? There are so many religions, belief systems, etc. What is the chance that anyone is "right"?  Then I started thinking about the possibility...

My Facebook Friends chose this week's topic: Intuition.  Some even volunteered personal stories. Thank you so much for your help! =)  What is Intuition?  The dictionary refers to Intuition as "a feeling that makes a person act a certain way without fully understanding why?" Webster's Dictionary also references "a natural ability or a power that makes it possible for us to know something without proof or evidence." A hunch, if you will. Both of these definitions resonate with me. The only thing I would add, is that intuition comes to us as a series of extrasensory messages. I honestly believe we are being given the answers, all the time. Every now and then we get a head's up too. The more we listen to these messages, the easier it is for us to navigate our way through life.  But where does this information come from? Who sends the message? As far as I can tell, Intuition has two main sources: our guides and angels, and our Soul.  ...

The past few weeks I've been thinking about Eco-Friendly Businesses. This is a topic that I’m interested in but I'm not ready to dedicate my life to it just yet. My focus is still on Energy Healing: sharing it with the world through this blog and with a series of books that I hope to publish. Fingers crossed the books will take off, and when they do, I plan on investing in eco-friendly businesses. That’s still a long way off though, I'm just getting started. Then I had this crazy idea and thought I might as well put it out there.  Who knows! Maybe someone else can put it to practice =)  So here it is!  I love the idea of a business conglomerate where Nature “owns” a majority share in the company. What I’d like to see, are new businesses and product ideas where Nature is taken into account at every step of the process. The bottom line would still matter – businesses have to turn a profit to survive, but it wouldn’t carry more weight than the environment...

Last week I wrote about the Laws of Karma and how we can use them manifest good luck for ourselves. Today I'd like  to discuss something that I learned at the Kabbalah Centre. It teaches us to pay attention when making even the smallest of choices, and having that transform your life. Do what’s right in the moment and don't let your knee jerk reactions get the best of you.  The theory is simple enough, four steps that are covered in class, but it does take some self-awareness.  The idea is that we are were often faced with decisive moments; a split second where we might react mindlessly and reinforce self-defeating patterns.   The Kabbalistic view is that when you take a breath and change your response, you bring light into your life. This has an outer effect that is synchronistic, as well as big inner shifts where your character is transformed for the better.  The technique is covered in the Kabbalah 1 class.
