Recycled Plastic in Pillows?

It's been a while and I thought I should pop in to say hi. The past few weeks have been hectic! I rented a new flat, finally. Then when I was all set to move in, I hurt my back doing absolutely NOTHING. I have spent the past week and a half recovering, with a lot of help from a wonderful osteopath. It was amazing really (osteopathy). I will write about it when I am settled in again next week. I am feeling very grateful. 

Today I went to Ikea to do some shopping. The flat I rented is furnished and I don't need much. Towels, rugs, pillows, sheets, some things for the kitchen, etc. I left with what I could carry and placed an order for a little meditation couch. The highlight of my trip was choosing a pillow. It took me 30 minutes to decide on one. Who knew shopping for pillows could be so complicated? Especially when the product names are all in Swedish and you have no clue why  one Gosa #$%@ is different from the next Gosa @#%. I went back and forth between 3-4 Gosa pillows and couldn't tell the difference, other than how thick they were.  

In the end, I went for eco-friendly pillows. My new pillows are stuffed with recycled PET. Sound familiar? PET is plastic found in plastic water bottles, soda bottles, etc. It's not as uncomfortable as it sounds. It feels like the pillow is full of styrofoam chips. It moulds to the shape of your neck and head. Let's see how I sleep tonight. I owe it to the planet after all of the Evian and soda bottles I've bought and recycled. Someone has to use recycled products. Otherwise we are just creating a more junk but feeling better about it. So let's buy recycled! Recycled paper. Recycled pillows (though the jury is still out on the comfort).

Writing My Life Story

It's been a week since I last posted. I am still on a break from my classes and somehow that gives me a little less to write about. Also, I haven't actually moved into my new place yet. I think I am waiting until I am settled in again before I get to work. The past two months or so I have been on holiday. But that ends on Monday when my new flat is clean and ready for me to move in again (procrastinate, much?) 

Today I also realised I am more than halfway done with my second book. So exciting! Two years ago I started writing up my blog in book format. Why I left Mexico, how I wound up in London, how I stumbled upon healing and intuition, and everything that has happened since then. I hadn't looked at the word document in months. I have 200 pages written, a lot of editing to do, and dozens of blanks to fill in. I'll have a second book to publish in a year or so, maybe less. 

Today I spent a couple hours reading through the rough draft. I don't remember writing it, seems like I was a different person back then. It was like time traveling back to 2011. I think I have a better understanding what makes the universe tick now. It also brought back memories that I didn't write up the first time around. I am excited about writing again, this will make for a fun read! Hopefully, I'll be done with the draft this year and I can publish it in 2014. 

How cool is that?

A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer and Love is Here!




I received my first set of paperbacks in the post yesterday! I am starting to feel like a genuine author now. It made it feel real. It was pretty amazing to hold it in my hands, finished product. So exciting! What I have enjoyed even more is getting feedback from family, friends and readers. Especially from those who have in some way been affected by cancer. The most consistent feedback is that reading the book has prompted them see their experiences in a different light. And that it helped. 

So far, so good.

I'm hoping more people find it too. Kindle makes it easier. The e-book will be part of another freebie day on the 28th and 29th of August, 2013. For two days it will be absolutely free to download. Please send the link and/or the description to anyone who might need a book on healing and cancer. All of the techniques described are simple to follow, and complementary to medical. Because they focus on mental and emotional well-being they can be helpful for family, friends and carers too (we all need a break)

Yom Kippur: The Day of Repentance

Some of my best friends in Mexico are Jewish. One of the things I’ve always been curious about is Dia del Perdon, which translates as Forgiveness Day: Yom Kippur. Whereas we Catholics confess our sins to the priest, with varying degrees of remorse, and then say a few Hail Mary's - my Jewish friends went and said "I'm Sorry" to each and every person they hurt that year. And the offended party was under no to obligation to forgive, or hear them out. 




Ouch. That sounds harder than going to mass and confessing in anonymity. In either case, the Jewish or the Catholic version, you are meant to have remorse and change your actions for the "all clear" to be valid. Praying a few Hail Mary's isn't going to wipe away the consequences of whatever we did - whether it's damage to a relationship, or bad karma because you knicked something. The intention and consciousness behind the apology counts. 

Yesterday's Kabbalah class was on the steps that we need to take in the run up to Yom Kippur. Though it would probably be better if we apologized as soon as as soon as tempers cool and clarity sets in, how often do we do this? Pride often gets in the way. Memory fades, and sometimes rationalisation sets in (it wasn't that bad, was it?). Our homework is to think about one thing that we could have done differently. It might be one really awful thing we said, did or thought in a particular situation. Or an area where we are repeat offenders, hurting lots of people little bits at a time. What do we want to apologize for and change? 

In the next few days I will write about how we apologize to make it count (according to Kabbalah). Generally, the idea is to think of why it matters that we hurt someone (what we do to them, how they feel, and why it hurts our soul to cause them pain). This puts the whole process, from offence to forgiveness, into perspective. 

My next blog post will be on karmic consequences and how we Erase - Rewind. Along the same lines, some musical inspiration!

It's Time to Go be a Healer!

My healing certificate came in the post this week! Yay! I can go be a healer now. I haven't seen it yet, but my cousin just rang to let me know it was delivered. I am still crashing with friends until my flat is ready for me to move in at the end of the month - feeling very nomadic at the moment. 

Now I can start getting my things in order. I was planning on looking up a few healing clinics in my area to see if they have any vacancies. The Life Center in Notting Hill looks promising, and as far as I can tell, they don't have energy healing. There is also another place nearby where I've had sessions.

Last week I started to put my business site together too. It's not ready to be published just yet, and I hope to have it in the next two or three days. My sister's roomate came up with a really url for a new website - stay tuned for details!

I might post health and wellness related topics there, and keep this blog for my adventures and exploits in healing and psychic school. We shall see. This Diary of a Psychic Healer blog is my creative outlet and the other one will could be more mainstream. So much to do! I am really excited about it all :-)
