Taking a Sunday Off

Having a lazy Sunday! Yesterday I had dinner with some friends from my Psychic Class and we ended up pulling tarot cards (big surprise!). The 1st one I pulled was funny, telling me not to worry about negative thoughts being loaded guns LOL. As in one negative feeling or thought isn't going to bring the world crashing down around you. It was actually relevant on some level. Made me laugh anyway.

The next card said to take a day and GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REST!


London is covered in snow this weekend, really lovely.


I'm toying with the idea of going to the gym for some "me time"


Relax and enjoy your Sunday!

Active Meditation

Today I finally went back to the gym and did a full session. First time after my fainting spell earlier this week. The last time I joined a gym I felt totally intimidated by the place and stopped going when the sun came out again. London parks are so much more appealing than indoor training rooms! To make it worse, the gym lost my "notice" sheet so they went on charging me. We haggled over it for months before they admitted their mistake and stopped harassing me.

Now that I'm going to the gym my body feels more alive and energised. At least in the evenings when I get home from the gym. Waking up the next morning is so tough! But overall I feel much better. I'm releasing the toxins that were held in my bones and muscles, and the emotions associated with them as well. Its also nice to get in shape again and work on a little bit of muscle tone. Not so much weight loss, my holiday in Mexico took care of any excess pounds. Evidently I've been in the UK long enough to lose touch with the flu bugs that give flavour to our delicious national cuisine. And I ate a lot of it LOL 

So the toxins are going out, out out!

Tonight I felt motivated to cook myself dinner after the gym. I hadn't cooked in a while and it turned out very very badly. My healing skills are definitely better than my cooking. I bought big button mushrooms and left them to simmer in olive oil, a touch of salt, balsamic dressing and Tabasco. I also bought little chicken strips and grilled them on the stove with Nando's Peri Peri sauce. Somehow the supermarket Nandos sauce is nowhere near as good as the real thing in the restaurant. The chicken was done cooking before the mushrooms, and I made the mistake of pulling the mushrooms out when they were soaking in juices. 

My mom tells me that mushrooms are dry to start out with, after about 10 minutes they release tons of water and you have to leave them until that water dries up. Its not bad for you if you don't, but it doesn't taste so nice (at least not the way I like em!) The chicken was going to burn though and I didn't think to leave it covered so I took the mushrooms out, tried draining them by putting a plate over the top of the pot and letting the water run out in the sink. 

The thing about not cooking is that you don't bother buying the proper kitchen utensils. Last week I didn't have a ladle to pour soup with, and today I didn't have a stringer thing to drain my mushrooms. Sometimes I think the only thing that keeps my blog from morphing into a magical healer blog is the fact that I don't cook. All of the cool witchy bloggers spend tons of time in the kitchen. I have however, spotted a Goddess here and there when working on clients. 

I try not to label things, we don't know enough .... 

But I digress. Evidently if you poor wet soaking mushrooms onto a plate with chicken, the meat will soak up the water and become very mushy. It was like eating soup on a plate. If you ever want to thank me for a free healing session, buy me lunch! The only good thing about this whole ordeal is that I was 100% focused on my task, so it counts as a working meditation. Meditation is about being grounded in the moment and not letting your mind drift. I was very focused on the cooking and forgot all about the outside world.

Who Turned off the Lights?

Funny things have been happening in my flat this week. Funny things. 

Yesterday I shut off my computer and planned to go to sleep at around 10 pm, but then my iPod started beeping with Facebook updates and I turned it back on to answer a question. One hour later, I was still chatting on Facebook, searching for Therapy Rooms to rent in London, and generally wasting valuable sleep time. And I was tired. I've been really tired during the month of January. 

At that moment one of the little ceiling lights in my bedroom fizzled and went out. I took it as a sign from my Spirit Guides or Angels to TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! and go to sleep. So I turned off the light, put my evening meditation on my iPod and dozed off to sleep within 5-10 minutes. 

Today I came home from work and when I turned on my bedroom lights that single light was still off. I made a mental note to email my landlord and ask her to get it fixed. There is a damp on the wall that she is having fixed and I thought they might as well fix my light. The ceiling is too high for me to reach it. 

I hardly touched my computer today and spent my evening giving a healing to one of my case studies, and then reading up on the energetic implications of mental health disorders. Interesting stuff, though I am at a loss with Dementia and PTSD. So I was very productive and didn't waste time at all surfing the internet. One reason was that I want to go to bed early and keep the rest of my ceiling lights!

At 10 pm I sat down to do a closing meditation and proceeded to ground and protect myself. I opened up my throat, crown and brow and then I started to feel really light headed. The next image that flashed through my mind was of my case study lying on a mat during the healing.  I think some of the energy from the healing session was still in the room as I didn't clear it after the session. Big Mistake. 

So I visualised a big tornado touching down in front of me and circling my aura to clear any waste. It went around me twice and then disappeared into the sky. I brought down another big tornado and sent it spinning around the room, making sure it would pickup all of the leftovers and get rid of them. Well guess what! That little ceiling light turned back on when I visualised the tornado going through it!!!

I think my guides used that light to communicate with me, first telling me to turn off the lights and then reinforcing the message that I need to be more diligent with my space clearing and energy management. 

Exciting Stuff!

Reality Check

Today I had a moment of doubt - a reality check if you like. I really want to make the transition to being a full time healer. Or even a part time healer, part time charity worker / marketeer. Really looking forward to the day when I can fill a Monday-Tuesday with healing clients! Paying healing clients!

Right now I'm still scrambling around trying to find 3 people who will sign up for free healings! OK so I have 2 on going clients who are thrilled to have their weekly session. The 3rd has yet to materialise.

I can include a pet a case study this term which would be really cool. We're not supposed to practice on friends and family at this point, but I wonder if a friend's pet is allowed? Not sure I want to ask though!

Sometimes its better to say you're sorry than ask for permission.

My Thoughts on Pancreatic Cancer


In healing school, we learned that our experiences, emotions and reactions are held in the body. If we don't deal with certain experiences, they upset our personal energy. In some cases we may feel the effects physically. This theory resonated and my thoughts turned to a family friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This post goes beyond biology to explore the Mind-Body-Spirit connection. 

Please note: Energy Healing is not a substitute for medical care.  


Here are my thoughts on energy healing and pancreatic cancer: 

  • The body feels the full range of emotions ranging from stress, tension and anxiety to joy and laughter. Positive emotions flow through our system freely while those at the negative end of the spectrum often need to be released consciously. How does your body react to stress: hunched shoulders, tense back, upset stomach, etc? It is widely accepted that the body retains these emotions and that we need to let them go - often by self-healing. 
  • When a person holds onto anger, fear or sadness, those emotions sit in the body. I believe buried anger and resentment to be emotional risk factors for some types of cancer and that with time, holding onto this energy takes it's toll on the physical body. In my view, the problem is that most of us were not given the tools to understand and heal our emotions on a daily basis, instead leaving them to simmer. Energy healing can help us bring about peace, forgiveness and relaxation; in this way Energy healing complements medical care. 
  • In the case of pancreatic cancer the energy healing session would focus on the Heart Chakra. This energy center is known for universal love: how we feel about our parents, siblings and close friends. If someone dear to our heart is harmed, or if they betray us, it can be very hard to heal and move on. Disappointments of this kind are said to leave an emotional mark on the pancreas because it is so close to the heart (love). 
  • The aim of energy healing is to help the patient heal on a subconscious level, while making it easier for them to relax and release stress. Energy Healing and Reiki can bring about peace; they are complementary to medical care, not alternative. 

A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love 

Update: My first book is a personal guide for families that are dealing with cancer, looking primarily at energy healing and meditation. Simple tools that the whole family can benefit from. 

I wrote this book, trying to make sense of my family’s experience with cancer.

Below you'll find a meditation that makes it easier for us to release stress, tension and worry with guided visualization. The more we meditate, the easier it becomes for us to relax and clear our body and Aura. Think of your Aura, or energy field, as the the projection of your thoughts and feelings. We all benefit from meditation, regardless of our attitudes towards energy healing.


Reiki hugs,
