Diary of a Psychic Healer

I love astrology, and work with it for the metaphorical and self-actualization side that comes from integrating the Zodiac signs.  But I’ve had  planetary transits that boggle my mind, essentially when a planet’s current movements connect with a point in your natal chart. I have a hypothesis that I would like to test. I might try to organize a study that tests specific theories about natal astrology  💫 Right now, I want to see what makes transits affect us more or less predictably, if at all, and that is what I would like to test.   👉🏻 From a metaphorical, user-interface point of view , I see a ton of value in working with astrology but also think it's OK if it's mystical/myth based. I don't have a mode of action for astrology, but hope to test it anyway. In the meantime I'm going back to some of my math, stats and science friends for advice. If I am honest, thinking about necessary data inputs to make it verifiable and how to filter out confirmat...

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Hi there! I am an energy healer, astrologer and clairvoyant, but I also have a skeptical side. Here are my thoughts on skepticism.  🌀 There are places where it’s not needed and it gets in the way of our potential. Creativity, imagination, art, self-love, connecting with your heart. Finding happiness. I have had jobs where skepticism or cynicism blocked innovation. It’s what you envision before bringing it down to earth.  🌀  There are places where it is useful. Nobody wants to believe everything they come across. Skepticism = discernment. For example, relationships enter here.  🌀  There are places where it is necessary. A lot of things in life need science to back them up.  That is from a functional point of view. From an ego pov, if we build our identity on being skeptics, or not being skeptics, that keeps us from distinguishing between the three scenarios mentioned above. The world is also polarized in lots of ways, not just holistic vs science. But in ...

Like so many of us, I enjoyed watching the Olympics. It brought back memories from my teenage years - a bit of background, but I  went to four different high schools (in three countries) and I signed up for school sports to make friends.  For example, in my junior year, I joined the Track & Field team. I had never tried the sport, but it was the only team where you didn't have to qualify. Everyone could go to practice, choose a category and only the top 2-3 students in each group would compete. It was pretty cool.     Every Monday we had to run sprints for two hours - basically races where you ran the however-many-yard-dash quicker and quicker. The rest of the week, we'd do a warm up run for 30 minutes and then practice our individual categories. I chose long jump and high jump. Both were fun and relatively easy once you got the hang of it.  So two things that I'd like to highlight....  🫶🏻 First, oddball happening - I did surprisingly well with the hi...
