Eco Friendly Businesses

A while ago I found myself asking the question: What would I do if my books took off and I suddenly found myself making bucket loads of cash (hey! a girl can dream). What would I do with it? Aside from covering my own bills, etc? 

So here it is! ... I like the idea of starting a planet friendly business. On one hand, I want to keep blogging, writing, teaching. Start an online university. I have a feeling that as time goes by I'll have lots to write about. And thanks to my marketing background, I could make that work. I would have to get over my aversion for self-promotion (igghhh). 

My BIG IDEA, though, is to invest in eco friendly businesses. 

I like the thought of a holding corporation where the majority stockholder is nature. Are the businesses, products and services sustainable? Will they leave the earth better off (or at least, not make it worse?). The financial bottom line matters, but not more than the environment. I could see myself owning 10% , my business partners another chunk, and the bulk of it belonging to nature. 

It would be good to have a sustainability expert on-board. Not someone who is militant about saving the earth, but someone who can find a way to make it work in the short and long term. And maybe someone with financial sense to be involved in the day-to-day running of things. I have an MBA but haven't really zeroed in on finance. Maybe its time to read up on my notes from class. 

Imagine what the world would be like if we all invested a bit time, energy and money into planet friendly businesses? That's what I intend for the future =)

Angel Cards vs iPhone Apps

A friend of the family came over this week to learn about angels. She asked how I got into healing, intuition, and was it a gift? I think its a gift we all have. Learning to follow your intuition is like learning to play the piano, we can all learn to read music, sound out the keys and have fun with the songs. Its true that some people might pick it up quicker, more seamlessly. Maybe they've done it in past lives. 

But we can all learn. Everyone can. Especially with the wonderful tools at our disposal. I learned to do psychic readings at the College of Psychic Studies, where we'd start with a nice, long meditation. My tutor taught us to start by grounding and protecting ourselves before taking the journey. The beginners meditation started with us imagining a door in front of us. Open the door, step through it. You come into a hallway, find a staircase leading downwards, and we go down one step at a time (putting us in a relaxed mode). From there the teacher would guide us to different locations without describing our surroundings in too much detail. Your imagination brings it to life for you. 

After the meditation we'd write down what we saw and then talk about it. The psychic messages were in the things we'd seen. The colour of that door, how heavy it was. What was the scene like on the other side? And then the place we traveled to, what it looked like, who we saw there. My destination was often full of book. A lot like the library in Beauty and the Beast. I love reading, learning, writing. Its in my Spiritual DNA. After a few sessions, we started going on guided tours of our classmate's spiritual hideouts. That was amazing. I might not see it the same way they did, but I'd interpret what I saw and would then give them a message. Sometimes we'd interpret it together.

Of course, this takes lots and lots of practice. Lots of meditation. Angel Cards, Tarot Cards, i Ching, the runes and other tools can give us a short cut. Just ask a question, pull a card and see what comes up. I pulled a few cards for our family friend this week and then encouraged her to buy her own deck, as she really seemed to enjoy it. Most of the decks I own are available printed, though you can also buy an iPhone or iPad app. Personally, I'm pretty comfortable with electronics and I use these more than the physical decks. Somehow, the cards always seem to be relevant. On this particular occasion, I pulled 8 cards from my "physical" decks and then 4 on my iPhone. Would you believe me if I told you that three of the cards I pulled on my iPhone also came up on the first reading, with the physical deck? What are the chances? I honestly believe it was the angels demonstrating that it makes no difference which you use. My favourite decks I'll even end up buying twice, to have both.

My favourite decks for beginners are these: 

      The Radiant Rider Waite

The Wizard's Tarot Deck

What is Energy Healing?

Energy Healing is a complementary therapy that promotes mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as relief from stress-related health concerns. 

Energy Healers channel a mix of Universal and Earth energies, through their Heart and Palm Chakras to the client’s body and energy field. This helps them release stuck energy, emotions and anxiety that they may have picked up from everyday interactions. So for example, let’s say you’ve had an argument where you found yourself exasperatingly tongue-tied. Not having the words to express yourself can leave a sense of frustration and even constriction in your throat. I’ve certainly been there a few times! Or maybe, you felt a pang in your stomach, where we tend to hold our personal power and boundaries. If this happens often, the energy builds and we may see chronic sore throats or even tummy aches. Energy Healing aims to clear this energy from the body and the energy field. 

There’s a fantastic book by Inna Segal, called The Secret Language of your Body, that sheds light on the meaning behind specific symptoms and organs. Similar to Louise Hay's work in You Can Heal Your Life, though Segal goes into the meanings in more detail. I use this knowledge, combined with my intuition and the channeled energy, to work my way through a healing session, whether it’s with a client. Or just healing myself – which is also wonderful!

It's worth mentioning that Energy Healing is complementary to medical care, not alternative. I like to think that healing addresses the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of disease, while conventional medicine takes care of the physical urgency. This is especially important when it comes to serious conditions like cancer, diabetes and certain mental health issues. While some people have strong affinities for either natural/alternative medicine, or conventional,     I like to get the best of both worlds.  

What happens during a session?

We have the Healer, channeling energy, and a client receiving it. The client usually sits or lies down, fully clothed. I usually start by placing my hands on the client’s shoulders to connect with them, before working my way through the Chakras and the Aura. 

Focusing on the Aura and Chakra System enables us to focus on specific areas of our life; for example: Root Chakra to strengthen our foundations, Sacral Chakra to stimulate our appetite for life, Solar Plexus to work on our confidence and personal power, Heart Chakra to enhance our experience of love, Throat Chakra to strengthen our voice, Brow Chakra for our vision and analytical skills, and finally Crown Chakra to boost our intuition and spiritual connection. We can also clear and balance the different Aura layers, before ending the session by grounding the client. 

I'll do this by putting my hands on their feet and intending for excess energy to go into the earth. This clears the mental and emotional bodies again. 

It's common for clients to report feeling relaxed afterwards. During the session, you may feel temperature changes, tingly sensation or electricity. Everyone is different. Some people feel nothing, and that’s OK. I tend to feel the energy strongly when I give healing. Not so much when I receive it. 

People often ask if they need to believe in healing for it to work. In my experience, they just need to be open to receiving it. It’s OK to be skeptical, especially at first. Some of my case studies in Healing School were colleagues who had never had healing and were curious and a little bit skeptical. The best way to understand how it works is to go for a session and try it out. You might be surprised! 

A little bit on Self-Healing

Before we take our first caller, I'd like to talk a bit about self-healing. Seeing a professional Healer can give us a big boost and a sense of direction, but nothing beats learning to heal yourself. Even when we do see a healer, we only release the baggage that we’re ready to let go of. It’s a great idea to take an active role in your healing process. There are plenty of self-healing techniques to choose from, including Reiki, meditation and breathe work. 

Tune in next week to learn more! If you'd interested in self-healing, I would also suggest you look up my book: A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer and Love. Though the theory is tailored to families who are coping with cancer, the techniques can be applied by anyone.

Writing my Memoirs (Already!)

I haven't been blogging so much this year. There's a good reason for it too: I'm halfway through the 1st draft of my next book! Yay! Its coming along slowly, I started in December and writers block got in the way most of the winter. Or maybe I just needed a break. Since then I've been scrawling away (literally) and I've got about 50 thousand words down on the first draft. About 40% through my outline, though I'm sure I'll end up cutting a lot of it later. 

What's it about? Well ... 

I'm rewriting this blog as a memoir, from scratch. Not sure exactly where it starts. Maybe when I quit my job in Mexico in 2008 to go travelling and somehow found myself moving to London. That was when I discovered healing, astrology and eventually, psychic development. I'm thinking back to the early days: what it was like to get the first impressions, to wonder if I was imagining things or if I was really getting signs. Its been 4-5 years and so much has happened. So many interesting people along the way. 

Fingers crossed I will be done with this first draft in the next month or two and then I can put it down for a while. I have been wanting to write a fiction story with a supernatural slant, and that interlude could be a good time to do it. I'm still thinking about the Flower Fairy I dreamt up last year (see here). 

Here's my 1st draft: handwritten to get past the writer's block =) 

Thank you for reading! Join me below

The Archangels - Part 3

This is our third and final instalment on the Archangels, you will find the 1st post HERE. Just to recap, the archangels are higher up in the angel hierarchy. They help with different spheres of life whether its communication, healing or understanding our life purpose. Today we are going to talk about Archangel Metatron, Chamuel and Azrael. 

The Angel of Love: Chamuel 

We can call on Chamuel to dial up our experience of love, especially our ability to give, receive and feel love. He can also help us feel unconditional love and compassion. From this point of view, love can be romantic, platonic or familial. To connect with Archangel Chamuel sit quietly and feel his presence.  

The Angel of Grief: Azrael

Azrael’s main purpose is to comfort souls when they pass away and to help the families who are left behind. He facilitates the grieving process. Azrael is one of the angels who steps in even if we don't ask for his help. If you are having difficulty getting over a loss, you can call on Archangels Raphael and Azrael for healing. Of course in these situations it will also be useful to see a counselor or a healer for specific help.

Past Lives & Integration: Metatron

Metatron is one of two Archangels who is said to have lived as a human before ascending to heaven. He was a scribe in ancient times and in the spirit world he is also in charge of record keeping. Archangel Metatron looks after the Akashic Records, where we can find information on our past lives, including skills and abilities to tap into. We can work with Metatron and with Archangel Raphael, the Healing Angel, to let go of past or present life experiences that could be tripping us up now. If you're interested in exploring your past lives, look up Denise Linn's book, Past Lives, Present Miracles. She includes lots of wonderful tips for exploring and healing past lives. Fab book! 

Metatron is also associated with Sacred Geometry and with The Chariot in Tarot. These two are closely linked. The card depicts a Chariot being pulled by two horses, one black and the other white. The horses want to go in different directions and its up to the driver to reign them in and keep their momentum under control. I like to think of the Chariot as a Marathon Runner who needs to bring both mental and physical stamina to a race. The card is about pulling ourselves together and making a big push before we get to the finish line. Also about bringing polarities together so that we can harness their potential. With Archangel Metatron’s help, we can leverage sacred geometry to accomplish this. I’ll go into sacred geometry another day, probably need to research it some more! So far my experiences with it have been limited. 

Note: Archangel Metatron is usually linked to Ascension, not integration. Maybe it's just semantics, but I associate Ascension with escapism. I prefer to think of integrating, grounding and self-healing for a happier and well adjusted existence on Earth. 

A Guided Meditation 

2020 Update: This guided meditation below will guide you through the steps to access your intuition and connect with the angels. The script is in my book: Chakra Healing & Magick. Read it and learn to ground and clear your energy for clearer messages. 

Reiki hugs,
