Raise your vibration with goddess energy

I love reading up on different themes and seeing how it all comes together; it’s not surprising as I majored in Philosophy (Tufts ‘02). That probably explains this blog 👀

Last year, I started reading the Hermetic books from the 2nd to 4th centuries, which are attributed to the greek Hermes Trismegistus. Believe it or not, the original set doesn’t mention the Kybalion (the 7 manifesting principles); those were channeled 1,500 years later. Instead, it’s a dissertation on the origins of the Universe, humanity’s place in it, and how we can practice meditation to connect with the divine. The first part looks at astrology; that was my favorite chapter. For the purpose of this blog, it tells us that when we meditate on the image of a god (or a goddess), that deity pulls us up, closer to his or her level. 

The books read as a dialogue between Hermes and his teacher, in the style of the Greek philosophers that we read at school. Hermes is given that visualization, but we can all apply it. My gut feeling is that we can then vibrate in harmony with that goddess, radiating light out to earth in unison. Rather than ask for miracles and everyday goodies, let’s climb that ladder and manifest it for ourselves, as part of a dynamic duo. We always get what we give - let’s send love, joy and abundance to everyone. 

Heal the world too 🌺🌺🌺

Kabbalistically, the world’s dysfunction and chaos end (in part) when we reclaim our feminine energy, raising it to the same level of importance as the masculine. It’s a ladder of awareness that we climb through meditation and grounding, and it takes us out of a mental framework where zero-sum games rule. Your Higher Self is halfway up that ladder. Intuition opens the door 👉🏻 Intuitive Meditations HERE. 

Kabbalah speaks of 10 spheres of Light - the 3rd one down from the top is the divine feminine. The 10th, where we live and breathe, has a strong feminine energy energy that protects us - it’s a reflection of that third sphere. I have an inkling that Mary Magdalene can help us navigate a lot of the intermediate spheres. Those are spheres that we interact with on a daily basis through our mind and emotions.

>> Connect with Mary Magdalene to activate your Causal Chakra and Earth Star Chakra. These energy centers give us the grounding to stay firmly in this world, as we develop an intuitive connection with the realms that follow. The Causal Chakra was covered in my angel intuition classes. It’s one of the chakras that sits in the Aura. 

I began connecting with Mary Magdalene this year after a trip to London when her image popped up everywhere. My intuition tells me that the balancing of masculine and feminine polarities has to happen in the same framework where we lost it, so that it takes root in the unconscious (especially for us women). Otherwise it’s like you have to leave home to feel valued and accepted. That points me to Catholicism & Mary. 

Goddess figures are present in many cultures but their psychology and energy vibe shifts based on their concept. Choose the one that feels right for you. I don’t necessarily see Mary Magdalene as a goddess, but as a crossing guard and guide. Feminine energy rising 🌺

Can a Camel Get Through the Eye of a Needle???

There is a line in the New Testament where Jesus tells his followers that it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. I grew up Catholic and this quote has been interpreted to tell people that having money somehow keeps you from getting into Heaven. And that not having $$$ gets you there quicker. 

My view is that not having a dysfunctional ego will get us through the gates (or create heaven on earth), but that’s not the point of this post. Let’s focus on the camel. 

I think that we missed the point, forgetting that Jesus was Jewish, and many of the examples he gave were rooted in his culture. Kabbalah is the mystical side of Judaism; I’ve been taking classes on and off since 2009, when I first moved to London. You’ll find all my Kabbalah posts here. 

In Kabbalistic lore, the eye of the needle represents the dark night of the soul. It’s represented by the hebrew letter Kof; each of the Hebrew letters has a spiritual energy and meaning. That is half of the metaphor. The Camel is equipped to get through rough times. On a literal level, a real-life camel has enough water in its hump to survive travels in inhospitable desert environments. Metaphorically, water is empathy and emotional connection. On a Kabbalistic level, the letter G (the camel) represents spiritual strength and wealth of all kinds.  

So based on this, I’d suggest that the camel is very well equipped to survive a dark night of the soul. Whereas money can pay for a lot of things (including therapy!), but money alone won’t get us through a dark night of the soul. We’d need a spiritual and emotional toolkit.

Without going into too much detail, Kabbalah provides us with a map for spiritual and psychological growth, a path to balancing that ego. The letter Kof crosses the veil that is known as the Void, where dark nights of the soul are said to occur in life. Emotional intelligence is needed there. Money may seem less relevant spiritually, but it’s always necessary physically. It gives us strength. 

Emotional Strength & Compassion

I’ve written about the Kabbalistic Tree of Life before and how meditations can take us up and down those levels of awareness.

My teachers tell us to be cautious with our pursuits. As legend tells us, of four talented Kabbalists, one died, another lost his mind, the third became an angry skeptic. Only the last Kabbalist thrived. 

The one that survived did so because he leaned on the Element of Water. Have a look at this lecture from Spiritgrow: 

I haven’t mentioned Kabbalah as much on my blog because it’s quite expansive - better suited for a book than for individual blog posts. But this aha moment helped me release limiting cultural programming. 

Reiki hugs, 

Regina 

Note 1 … For those of you who have seen the Tree of Life, Gimmel is on the path between the 3rd and 5th Sefirot. Kof is on the path between the 3rd and 4th. This is based on the paths by Rabbi Isaac Luria. 

Note 2… The Bible passage starts with a question about whether any of us can be “good”, and continues with “if you want to be perfect, give away your belongings”. Thinking of ourselves as good/bad and wanting to be perfect are specific ego traps in kabbalah. The first is in the video.

The Ego Thrives on Comparison

Throwing a few thoughts out there because I can’t sleep 😅 It dawned on me today that the ego can only exist in relation to something else, it doesn’t stand on its own legs. It also has to be seen, which isn’t bad; we all need to be seen and loved.

But wouldn’t it be cool if your true self or your Higher Self shone through instead? So instead of comparing yourself with others and having that be the reference point for the ego, align your ego with your Higher Self and all of its joy, light and potential.

This shift can be done on both feeling and mental levels. The belief that we can be more or less than the person next door is where the ego starts. It needs comparison to exist, a point of reference.

One of my reiki teachers, William Rand, tells us that we can heal the ego so that it becomes a force for our light & purpose to shine in the world. I think the first step might be to stop comparing ourselves with others. Kabbalah tells us to look to our potential, instead of focusing on the material world and what's already been done and dusted.  

A shift in perspective

Let’s try a new approach. When it comes to metrics where it feels like you've fallen short, fill that part of yourself with love and understanding. Don’t beat yourself up about it, and work with the feeling of not living up to an expectation. Where does the metric come from? Is it relevant and necessary?

If it is still relevant, heal yourself and try again. Turn your attention to your Higher Self and move in that direction - what path feels right to you? Read my book to go deeper with self awareness and intuitive healing: Chakra Healing & Magick.

Chapter 4 includes questionnaires that will get you thinking about your sense of self on a deeper level, while the sections on psychic abilities and energy healing will guide you towards your Higher Self. 

That part of your soul taps into your full potential; your Higher Self powers your goals more than the ego ever could. We can't do that if we are focused on others, and all of the icky feelings that come from comparing ourselves. Hence the need for healing and reframing.

This is what I'm clearing now. 🍎🍎🍎

Inner Wounds Can Be Healed to Release Our Light

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 brings more light, power and presence into our lives. 

Brennan describes this dualistic split as a pocket of light that is surrounded by a painful wound, and then wrapped up in a defense system that keeps life from coming into contact with that wound. The defense might be fear and avoidance; it keeps us from feeling pain, but it also traps part of our creative light. That fear keeps us from taking necessary risks - the parts of your life that feels stuck can be traced to these often unconscious wounds.  

This concept of having our core divine light trapped in an emotional wound has been around for centuries. It’s part of the mystical side of Judaism (Kabbalah). In Hebrew, these pockets of trapped light are called Klippot, and they are created when we split our consciousness and lean towards fear, away from love, courage and kindness. The more we block off our light, the harder and harsher the defense mechanisms become. The process happens on individual and collective levels. It can be repaired with kindness and compassion.

The concept was first described by Rabbi Issac Luria a few centuries ago. The world correction (Tikkun Olam) is carried out by piercing those defenses one by one, with kindness, love and compassion. The similarity between that Kabbalistic view and energy healing occurred to me yesterday, though I was already in the habit of sending Reiki through my klippot. I’ve been reading up on both for 10 years.

As you may know, Energy Healers channel the qualities of love, kindness and compassion through the Aura so that these blocks can be released. This involves feeling the emotions locked in that pocket of energy. I call on the archangels as they make the whole process gentler.  

We can also work with the violet flame to heal emotional pain - this corresponds to the sphere of love & compassion on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (Chesed) 💜

The Universe in You ✨✨✨

In her book, Brennan also describes a process of soul embodiment where your divine light flows from that core, through a black, infinite field of potential, into the physical world. It sounds a lot like the Kabbalistic theory of creation - whether we see it as one Big Bang, or millions of souls coming into the world. Our physical bodies are largely made of that primal essence (hydrogen) and that very element is what gives us water (compassion). 

>> Hydrogen is the lightest Element in the Universe! It has been around since the beginning of time. Hydrogen is a small percentage of human body mass but it accounts for the majority of our atoms. We are made of stardust, but also, the stuff that’s been around before the stars. 

👉🏻 Read my books and heal yourself! Both of them introduce energy healing, with a focus on the mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The books do not cover Kabbalah, only energy healing.

Soul-Healing with Archangel Raziel

Archangel Raziel is one of the angels that I connect with most often. He resonates with the planet Uranus - insight, illumination and cosmic connection - and as an Aquarius, I love that vibe. Like most of the archangels, his name comes from Hebrew. We can get a sense of what angels represent from the letters in their name: Resh (R), Zayin (Z) and Yud (i) with El referencing the role that angels play as messengers of Light. 

Hebrew letters have a number, a meaning, and an energy signature. They are also said to be conduits of energy and according to the Sefer Yetzirah, visualizing the letters as black fire against brilliant white light activates them in the physical world*. The Hebrew letter Resh brings Peace*, Zayin is a blade that cuts through illusions of fear or confusion, and the Yud represents the spark of divine light that resides in all of us.  

Archangel Raziel guides us in soul-healing and symbolism, especially where past lives, family lines and unconscious attitudes are concerned. Natal Astrology paints a wonderful roadmap. If we call on him before studying our charts, Archangel Raziel can help us spot unconscious patterns, conflicts and also talents that we can tap into. As discussed on the Astrology Tab - we find our hidden treasures by working through our shadow and our natal charts. Raziel pulls back the veil in a safe and loving environment, while filling us with peace. 

Let's Meet Archangel Raziel

As the archangel of mystics and cosmic information, Archangel Raziel's range of themes is pretty wide. As always, call on Archangel Michael or Zadkiel first, to clear and shield your meditation space, and then ask Raziel to join you. Intuition basics are in my book, Chakra Healing & Magick 🔮

In a few weeks, I’ll stream a meditation with Archangel Raziel on Facebook. In the meantime, start with the meditation below to awaken your psychic abilities. Call on Archangel Raziel. The script is in Chakra Healing & Magick. It was designed to help you identify your gifts, and plant seeds for new psychic abilities to develop.

Releasing Self-Criticism with Archangel Gabriel

A few weeks ago I had an intuitive reading from a fellow healer who told me that I had to work on forgiveness. I have been receiving that same message in my daily meditations, but I can't say that I am mad at anyone or anything so I had no idea what that meant. 

So I asked my friend for clarification and her answer was that I had to forgive myself, be less critical of myself. I laughed nervously, and as my angel reading tutor used to say, if we give an angel message and the person has a bout of nervous laughter, well done! 

The message was spot on but I had never thought of forgiveness that way. I do have a tendency to be critical of myself, focusing on what I could have done better in any situation. It's not fun to be around! 

Natal Astrology could make it easy for me to blame that tendency on the three big planets that I have in the perfectionist sign of Virgo. But from a self-healing point of view, the idea is to spot character traits that become defects when exaggerated, and to soften those traits. 

Virgo Aside: My initial reaction was to think that I should have been thorough and asked for clarification in my daily meditation. 

So how do I go about forgiving myself??? My favorite tools are Energy Healing and angel meditations. I usually ask Archangel Michael to send the archangel or guide who can help me heal and release the issue that I am working on, as discussed in both of my energy healing books. 

I was surprised to see that Archangel Gabriel turned up. In my mind he was the archangel of pregnancies, intuition and communication, but then I remembered a lecture that I attended at the Kabbalah Centre years ago. The speaker referred to Archangel Gabriel as the angel of judgement, how he is identified in Judaism. Since then I have discovered that Gabriel can help us clear and release judgements that have been unfairly placed on us - in this instance, judging myself. 

The past month I have been connecting with Archangel Gabriel to release that critical tendency and honestly, I feel so much better! Coincidentally, Gabriel is also the Angel of Water, which includes the compassionate sign of Pisces. When we talk about healing with astrology, this all-forgiving Water sign sits opposite Virgo on the Zodiac wheel. Water can be used to integrate and heal both polarities so that neither is exaggerated; we need discernment and compassion. Coincidentally, the spheres on the Tree of Life that relate to judgment and compassion are on the same level; it's where we need to clock in to release judgments, or to access intuition. 

Here is a meditation to connect with Archangel Gabriel (link). We are in the month of Virgo until the 23rd of September; he can help us balance the Virgo/Pisces polarity so that we can be loving, forgiving and non-judgemental, accepting perfectionists. This leaves room for healing and personal growth. In Spiritual Astrology, Jan Spiller identifies non-judgemental perfectionism as the remedy for the three planets that were in Virgo when I was born, especially the taskmaster Saturn. 

Healing with Astrology

If you are new to astrology, the natal chart takes a snapshot of the sky at the moment of our birth and tells us how that energy influences our feelings, beliefs and attitudes. 

The Sun Sign depends on the month of birth but the rest of the planets can be in different signs. So you could be born in April, for example, and not feel like an Aries personality - this is one of the reasons why horoscopes can be hit or miss. My Aquarius Sun is more or less outweighed by the three planets that were in Virgo when I was born. You could say that I am an Aquarius with a strong slant in the Virgo healing/perfectionist direction. 

Stay tuned for more on astrology! In the meantime, the foundation steps of energy healing and intuition are in my book, Chakra Healing & Magick.
