An Unexpected Happiness Boost

One of the things that I’ve toyed with is going vegetarian to reduce my environmental footprint, but rational arguments aren't always strong enough for us to give up something we love. And my favourite foods are veggies, salads, steaks and cheeseburgers. The compassion plea might be stronger.  If we think about how animals are kept in factories, it is worth it to choose free-range beef and chicken. Let's say the animal had a humane life and we believe in the food chain (animals eat each other in the wild); there is nothing morally wrong with eating animals. Moderation is healthy too. 


Then three months ago I went on a heart healing workshop where we connected with our Higher Selves and with teacher guides such as Buddha or Quan Yin. It sounds like science fiction, but we can all learn to receive their messages and guidance if we meditate with this in mind. Beyond a certain level, the messages that come through are meant to help us and these highest level guides never ask for anything in return. My Reiki Teacher calls it the Third Heaven level where all we encounter is compassion; no duality, no give and take, no agendas. The messages are about helping you.

The message that I received from a spiritual being that shone like a thousand suns, was that going vegetarian would make me happier, as I wouldn't be eating certain emotions. It made me think about it…

I'm Testing Vegetarian Waters 

This was in March. Two weeks ago I finally thought I would go cold turkey for a month. I love meat - I really do - so in the long term my plan is to become a weekday vegetarian and eat burgers and hot wings on weekends. Tacos too - it's really hard to be Mexican and live in Mexico and never eat a taco again (although my favourite taqueria has a vegetarian menu). I went to a nutritionist to get tips on how to substitute protein, iron, B12 and all of the others nutrients that we get from meat. Two weeks have gone by. I had a spoonful of ceviche the first week, and chicken enchiladas on Wednesday, but otherwise no meat products. 
 

And guess what? I have never been happier. It took like 10 days for my mood to adjust and another few for me to notice. But I feel like my Aura is full of light, my mind is clearer and my Solar Plexus Chakra is radiating. Nothing has changed in my life - actually, there are a few things that make it less than perfect. But I am happy for no reason, except for the biological one ... 

Science On Vegetarian Happiness 

Yesterday I was thinking about how I feel so much happier and was there a scientific reason for it? I googled "happy after 2 weeks as a vegetarian" and came across a clinical study that looks at the acids in animal meat and the effect they have on the brain. This particular acid is called Arachidonic - our body needs it to function properly, but if we have too much, the studies show a correlation between depression and animal consumption. The trials run with meat eaters showed that after just 2 weeks on a vegetarian diet, people who previously ate meat were happier. 

So I had no idea about this before I started - other than my intuition telling me that I would be happier as a vegetarian. The archangels have told me repeatedly that our personal ability to channel miracles into the world depends on how happy we are - but also, that if we are super unhappy they can help us with a bit of divine intervention. Thank God for that, literally. 
 

I would never presume to tell anyone to become vegetarian. But if we can't bring ourselves do it for environmental reasons or out of compassion (I couldn't manage it despite those reasons), test it for your own happiness. Just for two weeks to see how you feel, and if you are happier, think about adding a few meat-eating days so that you are able to benefit from the mental uplift as well as your favourite dishes. At this point I don't know if I will stick with it forever but I am loving the happiness boost. When this month is over I might choose the weekday vegetarian plan as that gives us freedom to eat anything on Saturdays and Sundays - then again I may run with it and go vegetarian 99% of the time. The main benefit is happiness; for me, for the animals and the planet. 

Vegetable Protein Sources

Knowing what to eat is the biggest challenge and to be honest, I didn't stock up on protein alternatives so by the end of the first week I was feeling tired. Plus my favorite workout is spinning á la SoulCycle, so I had to up my protein game. I have been relying on a few ingredients and I'm actively looking for more. The tiredness went away with these: 

  • Fage Greek Yogurts have 20 grams of protein in one pot, which is almost half of what I need in a day (at 63Kilos) - amazing. 
  • Feta, Goats Cheese, unsweetened peanut butter are good too. 
  • Pastas made from Lentil, Garbanzo have 8-10 grams. 
  • The Veggie Protein Shakes at GNC are great. 
  • Lots and lots of greens like Spinach etc
  • Lentils, beans, garbanzos, nuts and seeds.
  • Quinoa is a famous protein grain but I am really loving another one called Freekeh that is very filling and has lots of protein. 
  • Eggs for breakfast are wonderful. 

My nutritionist suggested switching my carb intake to bread, rice and pasta that take longer to digest. Some carbs give us more energy - and I have to include the right type of carbs, protein and fat in every single meal or snack. The only thing that's been cut are pastries, candy and sweets (or fruit after 2pm as it disrupts digestion). The bread that I am eating is called Ezequiel or Centeno in Spanish; the rice is usually wild or a bit harder, no white or processed carbs for me.  

The Bigger Picture 

We get a lot of nutrients from meat, chicken and fish - not just protein. Iron, B12 and other minerals need to be substituted as well. I am no expert on this - clearly I’m just starting out. But the past weeks have seen such a HUGE SHIFT IN MY HAPPINESS that I anticipate being mostly vegetarian for a long time. How many of us would love to feel a little bit happier. If a plant-based diet does it for you, going vegetarian is a pleasure, not a sacrifice.

There are plenty of rational reasons to not eat meat and you will find them in this 4 Minute TedTalk on being a Weekday Vegetarian. But we humans aren't entirely rational - so many of our decisions are made emotionally. So do it for yourself - for your happiness, and if you feel a difference it will be very easy 😇





I hope you enjoyed this post and please don't unsubscribe - we will go back to energy healing and intuition posts next week. And if you'd like to give this a go - see a nutritionist. The last thing you need is to miss out on nutrients and think that being a part-time vegetarian is exhausting, when it just requires planning and knowledge. And of course, every physical body is different, please pay attention to what you need. 

One last plus to going vegetarian, you usually have room for dessert!

Reiki hugs, 


Regina 



2025 Update: ... I was a vegetarian again for about a year and a half, until the pandemic. Couldn’t make it stick. Sorry!

Manifesting Miracles With Music

Last year I gave a tarot reading where manifesting desires came up; specifically, how easy it was for the client's family to score tickets and freebies to see their favourite bands playing. When it came to other wants, like a business taking off, the process was much slower. The complexity of a business is just bigger, but why was it that anything musical took off quickly? 

Why are some things easier to manifest? 

The message that came through was about the bliss we feel when we are at a concert, or even listening to music that we love. It is not a stepping stone to anything else, you just want to enjoy the moment. It is not a fancy purse or a car that will do X, Y or Z for you. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting a beautiful bag or a piece of jewellery that we genuinely love ;-)

If we want to manifest other things with the same level of ease, we have to connect with the end goal and not the vehicle that may get us there. We can manifest our Heart's desires quicker than the Ego's wants because the Ego wants security and focuses on things that appear to offer security, whereas the Heart will sense joy and taps into it naturally.
 

Allowing vs Forcing Manifestations 

A few years ago, I signed up for my friend Camila’s spiritual psychology class. We looked at manifesting and resonance, as well as psychology. Cami explained that the Universe responds to how we feel about situations. When we see something and think "oh I like that!" the Universe takes note. The more often we respond with appreciation, the clearer our signal. Every time we respond positively to an idea, we tell the Universe to bring it closer to us. Until poof!!! It comes about in the best way. I've had a few gifts come along this way…

To recap, the key is to respond with a joyful "I love that!" when we come across anything that we'd like to have in our lives. Whether it is a new purse, a new relationship, a promotion at work, a solid group of friends or even a house on a specific street. This is how I found my apartment in Notting Hill years ago - felt it in my Heart Chakra and I wound up on the most beautiful street.


Why Envy Has The Opposite Effect 

If instead, we respond with envy to the world around us, that unhappy and slightly bitter feeling sends mixed signals to the Universe. The Universe isn't a psychologist who thinks "she responds with irritation but deep down, wants it, so I'll give it to her anyway." Instead, the Universe registers envy as an unhappy feeling that arises in response to X, Y or Z. To help us, it pushes the object away from us so that we can be at peace. Not helpful at all is it??? 

All emotions are valid, but some lead to self sabotage. Envy is a tricky one because it shows us what we think we can’t have (in some cases, it might be true). It also repels the object of our desires. The Universe can move us into a position where we can satisfy our needs and wants for growth, love and abundance - but we have to give it time and space to do so, on its terms. That might mean getting something that looks different, but feels right. Working through envy is key from a soul growth point of view. More on that in the future, but it’s a gateway to your soul’s purpose and uniqueness. 

The trick is to heal the source of envy, knowing that we too can shine; all the while feeling joy for others. The more we celebrate others, the better off we are. 


Some Musical Inspiration! 

My book, Chakra Healing & Magick, looks at tools designed to create a life of love, joy and power. Whenever I sit down to visualize an intended future I will listen to my favorite songs to feel that joy, asking for This or Something Better for my Highest Good, a manifesting phrase from Camila's class. We can also sing; the intention is for your voice to send that vibe out to the world. 

With this in mind, here is a link to one of my favourite songs by Coldplay. This one also brings in a bit of color vibrations for the Solar Plexus Chakra, the chakra for joy and personal power =)





One Last Healing Tip! 

There are many ways to heal ourselves. I find that the changes we seek come about quicker when we combine energy healing with music. Listen to songs that match your mood - whatever needs healing. My books will get you started. Chakra Healing & Magick includes the healing tools that I use every day. Music and magic in chapter 3. 

The secret ingredient: live recordings amplify the effect with the audience's energy. If you speak Spanish, another favorite! Tap into that sense of joy. Their Super Bowl performance, also a fave. 





Follow the links below for Chakra Healing & Magick! The book goes through the basics of energy healing and intuition, aiming to empower our lives by releasing doubt and limiting beliefs 🌺 Happy manifesting!

Regina

Are Angels for Real? Conversations with an Atheist ...

Last week I logged onto Facebook to share information about angels and how we can reach out to ask for help. An atheist replied with the statement that if angels and God exist, why don't they come together with a huge miracle to find food and shelter for everyone? 

His comments were spot on; I have asked myself the very same thing many times and I was glad to receive that question in a public forum because it is important. 

Also, if there is one thing we can learn from Facebook, it is that interacting with people from other walks of life can and should push us to question our beliefs. 

Human Problems Need Human Solutions 

When I have asked the angels that question, the answer is obvious: that many of the systemic problems in the world are human creations: extreme poverty, wars, climate change and even the health care system and who has access to it. Human problems need human solutions; it is up to us to fix them as our civilization creates these issues on a global scale.  

The angels help us with ideas, courage, confidence and by introducing us to people with cooperative dispositions, but they are not magicians in the Disney "Fairy Godmother" sort of way. 

That said, the angels can help us meet our needs. Archangel Uriel helps us find our footing with our mission in life, including rent, bills and other financial needs. As the angel of the element of Earth, Uriel looks after money & matter. 

Angelic Help In Our Daily Lives 

In our daily lives, angels can help us spot opportunities that already exist, but that we haven't seen. They give us strength and courage to go after them and often huge amounts of luck. We can also help them for help with small tasks; I asked Archangel Michael to delay a train for 2 minutes once so that I wouldn't be late to work (Read about it HERE)

Each of the archangels has a mission to look after. The feeling I have is that they want and NEED us humans to team up with them. Whether it is helping with peace efforts, economic growth and equality, sustainability or looking after vulnerable adults, children and ecosystems. The archangels are our friends, they support us and they want us to view them as teammates so that we can all work together =)  

How Do We Go About It ?? 

We can start by connecting with them and becoming familiar with their energy. One of the themes in my book, Chakra Healing & Magick, is how we can team up with the archangels by activating our intuition and channeling their guidance into creative solutions. The idea is for us to take the lead in our lives, with our intuition as a GPS. The book is available in most countries where Amazon exists. 2022 Update: Now available in English and Spanish in the Bookstore


A Meditation with Archangel Uriel


 

One more thing! The guy from Facebook, his name was URIEL. If that is not a sign, I don't know what is! Thanking both Uriels for the message. 

Reiki hugs, 

Regina

Can Energy Healing Be Miraculous or Instantaneous?

Six months ago I signed up for a class called Theta Healing 'Basic DNA' where we covered a huge list of energy healing topics over three full days. I had lots of "Aha Moments" but the most significant shifts were with the following ideas: 

  • Healing can happen in an instant. There may be cases where we need to heal and release dozens of beliefs, feelings and patterns, but that doesn't mean that it will take months of introspection. How this plays out will vary person to person, for example, a childhood belief vanishes and we are no longer painted into a corner. Maybe it’s felt as a deep relaxation and knowing that we have nothing to worry about - or that we can handle what is there. 
  • Releasing BELIEFS is HUGE. In both of my  books - the first an energy healing and meditation guide for families that are coping with cancer (HERE), and the second, a creative Chakra Healing adventure (HERE) - I discuss beliefs: how they shape the way we view the world, how we interact with others and how beliefs can paint us into a corner. Beliefs can generate lots of unnecessary stress, especially if they lower our self-esteem or confidence. The energy of Fire burns through our beliefs (Air).
  • How do we spot those beliefs? Theta Healing involves a technique where we use muscle testing to identify beliefs that can be held on different levels - in the body, subconscious or our spiritual DNA. There is a whole process where we use relaxed brain states to guide the client (or yourself) through a series of questions, looking for the false belief that props up all other beliefs. When we remove that belief, the Jenga tower crumbles and the obstacle disappears. 

I enjoyed the Theta Healing class and knowing myself, I will take all of the workshops at some point. But a few days ago I got to thinking... Why do we have to be so specific with the belief clearing? So I tried something not suggested in class: I used the Theta Healing meditation & script to release all spiritual or religious beliefs, replacing them with pure light and with the feeling of unconditional love. The beliefs that I wanted to remove were the ones that we humans tend to argue over when it comes to religion - and generally any ideas about spirituality, energy or vibration.  

It felt amazing and I went on to clear beliefs related with lots of topics, replacing them with light. In class, we were advised to search for limiting beliefs and leave in place the empowering ones. But my intuition tells me that pure light is an excellent substitute; that light has more oomph than any of us do. I think it is important to listen to our intuition and let it guide us, as classes and training give us tools but they won't always be a perfect fit for our situation. Trust your intuition above all! 


A) Clearing Beliefs With Reiki 

Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool to focus my Reiki self-healing sessions on specific themes - say money, love, career, or friendship - and set the intention to heal and releasing anything that might be limiting the way that I experience those qualities? Rather than use Theta Healing to sort through enabling or limiting beliefs and possibly never find the right one, I could channel Reiki through my body, with the intention to transmute any beliefs, feelings or filters that paint me into a corner. 

Based on what we learned at the School of Intuition & Healing; beliefs, patterns, and social conditioning can be cleared by focusing on the Chakras, the Aura, and the body. So from a Reiki point of view, I chose one of the above mentioned themes and used the symbols from the 2nd degree of Reiki to send healing to the past (Distance Symbol), clear anything that might be blocking that quality (Harmony Symbol), and filled that space with a fresh burst of energy (Power Symbol). After that, I visualised the Reiki Master symbol around me, filling my body and Aura with light. In school we learned to clear energy from the Aura - or any space - and then fill it with light. 

B) Not Into Reiki? Try This  

Reiki is one of many healing modalities; I have studied three approaches to Energy Healing and they can all be focused on belief busting. If you are not into Reiki, the following option does not require and in-person class or an attunement:

  • Chakra Healing Meditation (YouTube)
This meditation will guide you through the steps of healing and balancing your energy body. Choose a topic that you'd like to focus on and listen to the meditation with the intent to heal that theme on all levels: conscious, unconscious, past lives and anything related to approval seeking. The script is from Chakra Healing & Magick; it lays the foundation for the creative healing tools that come later 😻




  • Read Chakra Healing & Magick 
Check out my Chakra Healing & Magick book for an overview of the Chakras in the 2nd chapter, including a guest post by Maria Veiga, psychologist and author of the The 7 Lies of the Human Race. Then turn to Chapter 5, Exercises 1-3, to learn to channel energy through the Chakras. The healing tools in the book are based on the 2 year Energy Healing course at the School of Intuition & Healing in London. 

I can't wait to share this with you! The books are available on Amazon around the world. If you have an iPad, download the ebook to the Kindle app =)

- What Do I Mean by Miracles? 

Energy Healing, Theta Healing, and Reiki are complementary to medical care, not alternative. While energy work certainly can be used along with medical care to help patients who are being treated for an illness, the miracles that I am looking for are in our personal lives. A Course in Miracles tells us that miracles are often unexpected shifts in how we view the world. When our mindset changes, our life experience is also transformed. This is what I have liked most about Energy Healing. 

Thank you for reading Diary of a Psychic Healer!
