Diary of a Psychic Healer

A course in miracles talks about how we see the past, when we see something new. As an eternal student, I try to remind myself that what I learned in other classes doesn’t always apply to new concepts. But it can be really hard to apply that, and sometimes my own ego get’s in the way (wanting to be right lol) - and not feeling like a newbie.  But back to the concept, why do we see the past? In the first place - I guess on a psychological level, we look for reference points.  My go-to mantra is: Forget what you know.  For me, mantras and affirmations serve a similar purpose. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying tells us that mantras are a shield to keep your conscious mind from drifting off into unconscious territory LOL.   Why Would One See The Past?  So for example, if we went for lunch and were introduced to an athlete, instead of viewing that new acquaintance as someone in their own right, we may project the feelings that we had ab...

It's been a little while since my last post and I feel like I a m cheating with this 1 Minute Meditation where I do and say nothing, but that is what mindfulness is about: bringing your attention back to the moment and enjoying o r observing what it is. The goal is not to close your eyes, quiet the mind or to l ose yourself in cool darkness. Instead , we seek to turn down the vo lume of our thoughts by bringin g our attention to our breath and focusing our rela xed gaze on one spot.    This is a great  meditation spot, found it on vacation . If you would like to join me please pull this up on your computer's big screen, sit in a chair wit h your back straight, bring your attention to your breathe and just obs erve nature. You will also hear water in the background ...  Two minute s to relax your mental, emotional and physical bo dies - that is all it takes! Please join me on  Facebook  or  YouTube Reiki hugs, Regina

Reiki was discovered by Mikao Usui in the early 1920's. A lifelong buddhist, Usui believed that satori (enlightenment) could be reached through meditation, prayer and fasting. As legend has it, thus began the lonely climb up Japan's Mount Kurumaya. Usui resolved to meditate for 21 days and nights until he reached satori or died trying. Instead, Usui got Reiki.  In the west Reiki is known as a healing technique which can be used to clear, balance and heal the mind and the body. The word Reiki can be translated as Rei = divine intelligence, and Ki = life force energy. Reiki Healers channel this universal spiritual energy through their palm chakras to their clients facilitating the recipient's self-healing process.  Thanks to its Buddhist approach to personal development, Reiki has evolved into a spiritual path which has been embraced by thousands around the world. At the heart of the Reiki philosophy are the Five Core Principles:  J...

Today I would like to talk about Mindfulness - essentially being present and focused in our daily lives, as opposed to Meditation, which  usually involves quieting the mind and focusing it for a brief period of time. So for example, you could meditate for 20 minutes by listening to your breath, picturing a candle in your mind's eye or by following a guided meditation. I love meditations, especially when they talk us through healing mind, body and spirit. Or better yet, when we access our intuition to ask for guidance. Eventually the meditation has to come to an end and we bring ourselves back to our senses so we can go about our daily lives.  This is where Mindfulness comes into play. It's about hanging onto that sense of peace, awareness and grounding in our waking hours. In my case, it's usually about coming out of my cloud of thoughts so that I'm aware of my energy, my surroundings and my mind. A quick way to switch off our thoughts would be to ...

I had a great reading this week (Awww, I am going to miss my psychic school when I move to Mexico next month). I have always considered myself a doer and an (over) thinker . And now that I am a qualified Healer, I assumed that I would  do a lot of healings. Busy busy.  What the reading suggested, however, was that I simply  be . Without trying to do anything, and that the healing would happen by proximity. Maybe I give off happy healing vibes (smiling!). I like the idea and it also takes some of the pressure off.  This Tuesday I will put it in practice. It's my first official day befriending cancer patients at the centre where I practice Reiki. The job description for a befriender is to sit and listen. It's not about doing anything to help (there is only so much you can do or say). We're just there for them.  Yesterday's readings couldn't have come at a better time. The past few months I have been keen to volunteer as  a Healer but ...

Yesterday I was reading about a new venture that Google has: making us live longer. Maybe they are hoping to embarrass us with goofy pics from our misspent youth when we are well into our hundreds. Larry Page announced the new venture on his Google + account (luckily the media picked it up as I am still a Facebook gal). They hope to tackle health care issues that will extend our life expectancy. But do we really want to live that much longer? Maybe it depends on the quality of life we can expect. How healthy will we be in our 80's, 90's, 100's? Or beyond? What would you do with the extra time, all those moments? Am I making the most of the moment I have right now? Maybe we could focus on living today, being present and enjoying it. Day in and day out. That could be worth more to us in the long run ...  I am curious to see what Google comes up with.   Please Join Me Below! Books  /  Facebook   /   Instagram   Reiki hugs, Regina 

Today I tried a new approach when I was closing down my healing client after our first session. I asked two of her overworked chakras to take a holiday and try to switch off for the next week or two! One of them readily accepted and the other one pushed back LOL.  This client had an overactive brow/mind that was feedings lots of worrying thoughts into the solar plexus. This in turn, manifests as anxiety and stress, which the client is very aware of. She asked me to work on anxiety in the healing session and after clearing, balancing and healing the SP for about 10 minutes I was finally led to the brow. What else did I do during the session? I cleared her channel and there was a lot of clutter near the solar plexus. I also worked on her heart chakra and put in a strong grounding chord from the heart to the centre of the earth.  It wasn't until I was closing her down that this idea of a holiday came to mind. I've read about chakras switching off for a short per...

Yesterday I spent the day with a group of Arab friends and the conversation turned to the unrest in the Middle East. They talked about Egypt - how unexpected the revolution has been as well as the way it came about. The region has seen a lot of violence and upheaval in a short period of time, while the rest of the world enjoys a relatively stable existence.  It reminded me of a theory in a book called  The Power of Kabbalah  which consists of two realities co-existing over the next few generations. The idea is that on an individual basis we will either live in constant chaos or we will thrive in peace. Our reality will depend on our beliefs and perspectives, and if we've modified our actions to reflect a spirit of cooperation.  One of the things I love about 2011 is that we're seeing this awakening on so many levels. The road can be as dramatic as the revolution in Egypt, but it can also be very subtle. The good news is that we are already seeing pockets of...
