Astrology: Can We Rewrite The Stars?

Three years ago I went back to London for a summer and signed up for class at my psychic school. The main reason for the trip was two months of angel reading classes, taking the advanced level. To make the most of the trip, I signed up for half a dozen classes, including Psychic Astrology with Demian Allan, who uses a "building-blocks" approach to teaching astrology. That was when astrology started to click for me. 

One of the distinctive things about Demian's class is how he has students walk on a wheel of the Zodiac, feeling its energy. It sounds crazy, but if we activate our intuition we can see what Leo, Aquarius or Aries feel like. This helps put astrology transits into perspective because we feel the energy and know it's not mental. In one of my favorite exercises we brought down the Moon's energy to awaken our intuition as well as our sense of empathy. 

We also see how character traits that annoy us are often part of our shadow. The clashes we have with others have little to do with their personalities, and everything to do with our natal placements.  

Can We Rewrite The Stars? 

Later that summer, I signed up for Demian's Astrology & Magic workshop where he taught us how to download the energy of the signs and planets with guided meditations. Since then I have gone deeper with astrology, including the planets and signs in healing sessions, and using the natal chart as a roadmap for healing. 

Natal Astrology helped me focus my healing sessions in ways that I can't even describe. The past year I’ve been sharing my experiences on a friend’s astrology website. 

Please click on the titles to read the posts: 

1) Healing The Shadow With Crystal Therapy. Natal astrology taught me that “my shadow is someone else’s light” and that the things I dislike about myself can become strengths. But only if I learn to accept myself for who I am, integrating the shadow.

2) Chakras, Energy Healing & Planetary Magic We can integrate our shadow by downloading planetary energies (see meditation below), but first, ground yourself by activating the Earth Star Chakra, and observe your Soular Chakra. This gives us the energetic foundation to be able to channel the Zodiac.  

3) A Do-It-Yourself Astrological Pharmacy There will be times when astrological transits have us feeling flustered. I have been seeing it a lot the past year in energy healing sessions, especially with clients who are feeling Pluto's transit through Capricorn. In this blog post, we look at crystals and flower remedies to help us balance that energy, though grounding yourself is essential too. 

4) Heal Your Heart With The Moon. This is a personal favorite as we meet the archangels that correspond to the four Elements. The focus is on healing the Heart so that we can open up to receive. Do the guided meditation for your Element, so for example, Moon in Cancer is Water, the meditation for Water. If you’re not familiar with the zodiac signs, have a look at the Astrology Tab in the Menu Bar > The original newsletter was taken down; my meditations are on Youtube HERE: 

5) Bring Your Destiny to Life with Tarot. We look at the Moon's Nodes and illustrate their challenges with tarot. Jan Spiller's Astrology for the Soul first introduced me to the topic and converted me from skeptic to enthusiast. Spiller points the way to bravery and happiness through our North Node sign. What are you most uncomfortable with and how do you get past it?

6) Moon Magick: Transform Your Life with the Light of the Stars  My book, Chakra Healing & Magick, ends with a teaser for a future book on healing with magick + astrology. I am working on a class too; it includes the themes in this post. 

7) Intuitive Healing, Astrology & your Aura. This looks at how planetary energies are felt in the Aura and how we can ground, heal and integrate that energy. Read this for an overview; you’ll need to apply the tools in Chapters 5 & 7 of Chakra Healing & Magick. 

Harnessing The Zodiac's Energy

We can also use energy healing meditations to download qualities that we'd like to have. The timing is very important, you can learn how to choose the right time for magic rituals in this class. 

Below you'll find a meditation that helps us download the intuitive, transformative and powerful qualities of Scorpio; using the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter as the point of connection. The best time to do this meditation is at dawn on the day that corresponds to the planet that we're connecting with. In this case, Wednesday for Mercury or Thursday for Jupiter. This timing applies as long as the planet is in Scorpio; both are in Scorpio the rest of the month! We can repeat the meditation once a week this October to activate our intuition. 

Scorpio Intuition Meditation

This meditation went with the newsletter email, on boosting your intuition with Scorpio energy, but you'll get the basics from the guided meditation on Youtube. Along the same lines, we can download Jupiter’s wonderful qualities by applying some dof the tools in my article titled: Spread Your Wings with Jupiter (HERE). You can practice these techniques at any time, but the effect will be strongest when Jupiter transits the signs of Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer. 

One Last Astrology Tip!  

That summer I discovered a gem of a book, The Joy of the Zodiac by Amanda Starr. It is pocket-sized and describes each of the signs and planets in just enough detail for beginners to understand. For months,  I carried it with me and slowly studied the different signs. It doesn’t cover birth charts, though. You’ll find an introduction to chart reading HERE.

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.

Theta Healing Basic DNA Course (Review)

It has been a while since I was super excited about a healing class. The last time I signed up for something totally new was Tibetan Reiki in 2012. There are different kinds of energy healing and generally, I’d say it’s a good idea to pick one and run with it until you understand its applications, before moving onto something else (assuming it suits you). 

The past seven years I’ve been focusing on Energy Healing, as taught at the School of Intuition & Healing in London, and on Usui Tibetan Reiki. The two are similar, although Reiki courses tend to be lighter in terms of theory, guidelines and practice. Already having the Energy Healing qualification helped loads. Though Reiki is enough. 

Whenever I mention energy healing, people ask me if it is like X, Y or Z that they are familiar with - most often Reiki or Qigong. After moving to Mexico, I started getting lots of questions about Vianna Stibal's Theta Healing classes and I even met a few Theta Healers. As far as I could tell, it was the same but different: using your intuition and guided visualization to identify and release blocks from the mind, body and emotions. Of course, with the familiar spiritual-energetic slant that I love =)

Two months ago I finally signed up for the basic Theta Healing class, and this was when I discovered that the main focus is on removing limiting beliefs so that our mental patterns don't paint us into a corner. That and awakening our intuition. It resonated because that is what my Chakra Healing & Magick book is about: a creative journey through the themes of each of the Chakras, where we question our attitudes and beliefs, using creative tools, crystals, and healing to change our perspective on life. 

Removing & Replacing Limiting Beliefs 

Theta Healing aims to do the same thing, but with a shortcut that involves 'muscle testing' to see where the beliefs lie. For example, is it something you heard  as a kid? Next, the Theta Healer moves onto a semi-hypnotic process where we eliminate the 'negative' belief and replace it with a positive one. So for example, if I believe I am doomed to fail at math or just really bad with numbers, whenever I open an Excel sheet my eyes might glaze over. But if I change that belief to "I rock at math," spreadsheets would be less daunting (I actually really liked Finance, Econ and Analytics in grad school LOL, so maybe not the best example...) 

To summarize, the idea is that we can change the way we see ourselves and how we relate to the world by changing beliefs that undercut our self-confidence or predispose us to generate disappointing experiences. We can also use Theta Healing to download the feeling of what a positive experience would be like. 

If you've read my earlier posts on manifesting, the feeling or emotion is key because the Universe (and other people) respond to our vibes more than our words. This is also true for affirmations. 

Downloading Feelings and Experiences 

Theta Healing shows us how to release the belief or the fear that holds us back, and to replace it with phrases such as "I know how it feels to do X, Y, or Z" or "I know how it feels to be safe" (or loved). The workshop was pretty cool, but in some instances, the feeling work didn't do it for me. So I'm telling myself that I know what going through the fear feels like, but do I like what I find on the other side of the fear? 

I was thinking about this at the Mexican version of Soul Cycle last weekend (the musical spinning class)  when one of my favorite songs came on, Enrique Iglesias's I Like How It Feels. That is when it finally clicked - you have to download the program "I know what X, Y or Z feels like" and also download I LIKE HOW IT FEELS. That did it, the music (or the workout) helped me release the fears that I was trying to release, and I had so much fun in spinning class. 

Music Makes Everything Better

On a side note, Theta Healing talks about different planes of existence and one of these has music, sound and vibrations. Adding music makes a huge difference, it makes the feeling real! Music is one of my favourite creative healing tools and the first one mentioned in Chakra Healing & Magick. The seven notes resonate with the seven chakras in the body. That's why we feel a song's vibration as well as the emotion that goes with it. 

Theta Healing turned out to be a lot cooler than I expected, and I am psyched because this workshop was the first of six or seven (geek that I am, I have already read the books for two of the advanced classes). If you'd like to try it for yourself the best thing really is to sign up for a class with a certified instructor at ThetaHealing.com, though you can also read Vianna Stibal's books on Theta Healing. I would suggest taking the basic class as having a teacher guide us through the process is essential. Then you can read the books to go deeper. 

Lastly... 

Is there a downside to Theta Healing? Not with the technique itself. But as with anything, if you dedicate yourself to practicing it, the results will be better than if you go to a weekend workshop and expect to work miracles straight away. Theta Healing does teach instant healing (and that is FAB) but my understanding was that healing happens in a moment once all the belief, feeling and intuitive work is done. That is what Vianna's book says.
