Diary of a Psychic Healer

   Back in 2010, one of my  Psychic School  teachers suggested that we keep a journal of all of our experiences in class. That journal could help new students down the line as you tend to forget what its like for a beginner, and more importantly, it keeps you from forgetting things ! A few months later this blog was born and if you start  here , you can read my entire journey! K eeping notes also came in handy because I can be thickheaded , and even if the answer is right in front of me , the message will make sense years later. This was the case for me with the Tree of Life , a glyph that summarizes the Kabbalistic theory of creation and our relationship with the spiritual world.  Eons ago the Big Bang happened. Before the universe was created all we had was nothingness and light. That emptiness exploded into an abstract sphere of light (Keter) that cascaded down through nine more spheres, the last of which became the physical universe...

One of the things that strikes me about the Holiday Season is how we all spend it in different ways. For some, it is still a religious holiday, though more and more it has become an occasion for gift giving and connecting with family. Though some may lament what appears to be an increasingly commercial spin on a religious day, giving and receiving gifts teaches us an important lesson.  On a physical level, everything we do consumes some of our personal energy. This includes eating, thinking, working, and even taking time to help others. It's important to to rest and recharge your batteries, especially if you are generous with your time and energy.  Helping others also uses up our energy, and many healers do this at their expense. This is when fatigue sets in and we become susceptible to cold and flu bugs (for example). If the energy leak is prolonged we may be stopped in our tracks by an illness; this is how our body often asks for rest and self-care. By learning to give, rec...

This is the latest in a series on A Course in Miracles , the self-study program that teaches us to view the world in a more forgiving light. The object of course, is create Inner Peace by doing away with those pesky thoughts, fears and imaginings that stir us up. You can follow the entire class at the ACIM website here .  Today I will post my general impressions on the last week, rather than go through of the lessons one by one. There was one lesson that grabbed my attention:  W e have no neutral thoughts T his phrase takes me back to the concept of optimism and how tempting it is to force negative thoughts out of your mi nd and keep only positive ones. Can we do away with one false reality without getting rid of the other? This week, A Course in Miracles tells us that all of our thoughts lead to either fear or love - there are no neutral thoughts. If fear and love are two sides of the same coin, ACIM mi ght hav e us throw it out. What do you see w hen t...

A few years ago I attended a fantastic Medical Intuition workshop . It was during my student days at the School of Intuition and Healing and our tutor, Sue Allen, taught us how to connect with the Chakras and the organs. It sounds crazy but the body has messages for us - most of the day we carried out hands-on-healing sessions where we would silently chat with our classmates body. So for example, you could ask the liver what their diet was like and if they had too much (or not enough) of a particular food. The cool thing about this, was you could check your answers with your classmate when the session was over. I sensed that she didn't eat red meat and her liver craved it, only to discover that my classmate was a staunch vegetarian during the feedback session . She reacted strongly to the suggestion and we left it at that . Then she tuned into my energy, and it threw her off completely. Believe it or not, my favorite foods are cheeseburgers, potato chips, salads, and veg...

Welcome to the second in a series of posts on A Course in Miracles! If you missed last week's entry, ACIM is a self-study program that  teaches your mind to view the world in a more forgiving and peaceful light. It consists of 365 lessons that we meditate on every day for a year. Two years ago I tried going through it on my own but I got lost.  Now I've joined a study group with a great teacher, so fingers crossed I'll be able to see it through  - all 365 days of ACIM!  With that note behind me, I should confess that I didn't follow any of the lectures d uring the week and instead of studying t hem one day at a time, I a m going through them now . I know, it 's  awful , ACIM works best in bite sized chun ks. But anyhow, let's get started with Week 2.  The quotes are on the A Course in Miracles website but the interpretations are my own. If you missed my first post READ IT HERE . Here are highlights from the week.  Day 8: My mind is pre...

As you may know, t his summer I signed up for a fantastic Psychic Astrology class.  I understand the basics now and I'm keen to practice with loads of charts so that it will si nk in , rather than memori ze it all .   For the ne xt few months, anyo ne who purchases a 20 Minute Tarot R eadi ng will also get a Natal Chart Interpretation ( see here for detai ls ).   If you'd l ike me to zoom in on a specific part of your chart we can try that as well. At the moment my focus is on making sense of the natal chart and soon I'll look at predictions, especially how our "yearly" return evolves with us as we grow up.  Today I'm doing a practice reading for Armando,  born in Mexico, 197 4 .     An Introduction to Birth Charts …   Let’s start with the shape of the chart. In the picture, you will see a circle with black lines crossing it, like a pizza with 12 slices. Each of these represents an aspect of life that we can choose to prioriti...
