Diary of a Psychic Healer

Years ago, I was meditating and the message that came through was to connect with my infinite self. I was surprised and pleased by the thought. In hindsight, the message was that we have one.  That feeling is awesome too; it takes you out of your everyday life and makes your problems seem manageable. What can't your infinite self handle? It gives us a wonderful change in perspective.  On a practical level, I wasn't sure how to get there - how  do I have to change or evolve as a human to get there? Again, my intuition has been pointing me towards the theme of personal power and how we have to accept our full human selves first, including the shadow. The shadow isn't always bad - it's what we reject, and  that rejection is often based on cultural conditioning or childhood traumas and misinterpretations. We might think somethin g is not acceptable because of an offhand comment heard in our youth. Basically, the shadow is what we don’t love about ourselves,  rejecti...

Lately, I’ve been thinking about why the world is so dysfunctional . Two things come to mind - faulty egos, where one person feels like they have to one-up another, and second, the possibility of losing our security, financial or otherwise. Both of these are important but the first can be addressed in part, with energy healing, so I’m going to focus my attention on that one - integrating and redirecting the ego’s energy.    Let’s break down my hypothesis: Faulty Egos & Emotional Pain,  where one person has to outperform another to feel good about themselves. They might have inner child wounds that makes them feel inferior, hurt, angry or vengeful. Those core wounds lead to actions that harm others in ways that are unnecessary - whether it's a snide comment or something more direct. The faulty ego might get pleasure from feeling superior, but that satisfaction is filtered through a wound. Pain is on background refresh; any efforts to do well suffer because of it. Every...

I h ad a nerdy aha moment and I want to share it with you. In the past I’ve written about how, astrologically, the North Node’s Zodiac sign indicates how we can find happiness outside of our comfort zone. The opposite sign, or South Node, is where we get stuck in self defeatin g  behavioral patterns . Moving from one to the other can be uncomfortable, and often requires self-healing. The tools in my book,  Chakra Healing & Magick , will  help you break free.  My North Node is in Leo - it asks me to shine bright and share what I do openly and enthusiastically. But for the longest time, I was reluctant to talk about energy healing and my mystical interests.  Showing off felt like a taboo when I was growing up, and the mystical healer side was unheard of in my circle.  Owning and revealing that was a challenge; my blog was anonymous for a few years. I was working in a science environment, which made it harder.  This started to change after I read my...

I’m reading a great book by Barbara Brennan, called Core Light Healing . It looks at how your spark of divine light flows into your life as part of a daily creative process. One that can be blocked by fear, childhood trauma and especially by dualistic belief systems and behavioral patterns.  The word dualism is used a LOT in healing and spiritual circles. I have trouble understanding what people mean by it. In college, my philosophy teachers had us define terms the first time we used them because a particular word might be used in different ways by different people. For Brennan, dualism is the attitude that things are black or white, right or wrong, but also a split that happens between our mind and emotions. It’s when our feelings about challenging situations are blocked off to keep us from feeling emotional pain. The healing process involves sending love or compassion through those walled-off blocks of emotion or consciousness, so that we become whole again. Self Healing  b...
