Using Spells to Heal Yourself

Today I went out and bought The Book of English Magick, as far as I can tell its more of a history than a How-To-Book and it suits my mood. I was drawn to it after my experience with spells & healing. Yesterday I was feeling ill, and when I was meditating and healing myself I realised that there was a virus in my body that was giving me fever chills in my muscles, a bad sore throat and also conjunctivitis in my eyes. I'm not a doctor so from a medical perspective I don't know if they are linked, but on an energetic level it was one and the same. 

My mind went back to my last healing class, our teachers explained to us that most illnesses filter through our aura until they reach our physical body, and then they need to travel back out again. The past few days I'd been feeling heavy energy and buzzing around my head, and in my gut I could tell that it was directed towards my eyes. I wasn't suprised when I woke up on the morning of the Royal Wedding with an inflamed red eye, and I couldn't open it. I also noticed that even though my eyes were itchy and in pain, as was my throat, my aura felt clear for the first time in a week. The bug had filtered through to my body and I had to get it back out again. 

So I was lying down on my bed, listening to the fever and the chills and trying to understand where it started and where it ended. I had the intention of listening to it and then kicking it out, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Would I need to push the virus out? Using what? I can't use my hands to reach inside my body, I know there have been lots of psychic healers out there who claim to perform psychic surgeries but so far I haven't seen proof that it's true. My intuition told me that my etheric body, the very thin layer of our energy body that lines our skin should manifest the illness and that was where I could work with my healing hands.  

The problem was that my etheric body felt light as a feather, and I still felt the chills and the fever inside. At that point my inner voice suprised me by screaming "EXPELLIARMUS" which is really just a fancy Harry Potter way of shouting "GET OUT!". And I took that as a cue to expell the virus with my intent, so I started chiming in and repeating Expelliarmus. It felt really weird, like a gooey electricity was oozing through my skin and settling in the etheric body. I could feel it very strongly over my right eye, all over my face, and on my left hip for some reason. In my mind I kept saying Expelliarmus over and over again to keep the gooey-virus outside of my my physical body, while it continued to ooze out. 

Finally I used my hands to brush the oozing-electic-goo of my face and out over my head. I used my intent to make it go out into a cosmic dumpster where it would be burned and cleansed. Then I proceeded to brush it off my arms, my torso and my legs and dumped it in a little bin that I imagined next to my bed. All the while with my eyes closed. And I just kept scooping and scooping till my energy body felt cool and fresh again, then I fell asleep. My eyes were still red because conjunctivities doesn't disappear so quickly, but when I woke up this morning my throat was clear, and my eye is now pink. It's also NOT swollen, which was a great advance considering that only yesterday I went to the ER lol. 

Thinking back on the experience, it was the combination of the knowledge about how the energy body works, the intent to expell the virus, and the practice with hands on healing that allowed me to to this.  The experience was amazing, and even though the Harry Potter phrase is a bit of a goof, my subconscious and my body understood the language and it did expell the virus. I now have new found respect for spell casting lol, I guess its a great way to personify your intent. That's why I went and bought the book on english magic, there's no point reinventig the wheel when so many people have gone before us. Will keep you updated, the book looks really cool and I hope to apply some of the ideas soon!

How Hard is it NOT to Think?

I'm going to start a little experiment the next couple of days, an even bigger one than when I tried to drop coffee and went two whole week without a single cup! For the next week I will do my very best not to think. Instead I will make an effort to feel, to act and to see clearly. But not to think.

Not sure if this is something that I should advertise widely, and when I'm at work I will probably have to think just enough to make sure that I analyze things before I act on them. But the goal is to break free of this cloud of thoughts that keeps me wrapped up all day, and that blocks me from actually doing things. It's OK to be analytical when you need to be, but what I am going to cut out is the little worrywart that always makes an appearance. It should also give me a chance to connect with my feelings, which is something that I don't do too well at all. And hopefully it will help me be grounded, centered and alert throughout the day. 

When I was a kid my elementary school teachers used to bring me back to class by calling out "Earth to Geena", and one of the things that I hope to curb is also this tendency to take mental trips in the middle of the day. The past few days I've made an effort to stay in my surroudings, if that makes sense, and the world just looks so vivid when you do this. The other perk is that time doesn't fly by when you're actually in the moment, so if this works for me I might experience my 30's fully, rather than look back in 10 years and say "My How Time Flies!"

I am on Page 2 of the The Power of Now will let you know in a few weeks if this experiment is on strategy. For now I am just winging it, but my intuition tells me this will be very good for me lol.

What Will 2012 Bring - A New Earth ?

Yesterday I spent the day with a group of Arab friends and the conversation turned to the unrest in the Middle East. They talked about Egypt - how unexpected the revolution has been as well as the way it came about. The region has seen a lot of violence and upheaval in a short period of time, while the rest of the world enjoys a relatively stable existence. 

It reminded me of a theory in a book called The Power of Kabbalah which consists of two realities co-existing over the next few generations. The idea is that on an individual basis we will either live in constant chaos or we will thrive in peace. Our reality will depend on our beliefs and perspectives, and if we've modified our actions to reflect a spirit of cooperation. 

One of the things I love about 2011 is that we're seeing this awakening on so many levels. The road can be as dramatic as the revolution in Egypt, but it can also be very subtle. The good news is that we are already seeing pockets of light emerge all over the world. Just yesterday I had a nice little revelation when I was watching a clip of Jim Carrey on Oprah. 

The segment touches on Eckhart Tolle's philosophy that the moment is all we have, but that most of us won't live it to the full because we're trapped by our thoughts. The example Jim Carrey uses is one that I fall into a lot, and it shed light on a major blind spot of mine. Who would have thought that this change in perspective would come about so easily? And now the only thing that can keep me from effecting change in my life is my ability to control my thoughts and to become aware of my mind.

When I think about 2012 I get the impression that change will come for everyone but the way it happens will be determined by the degree of freedom enjoyed by each society. Whenever I ask my classmates about the Mayan Prophecies the response is always the same. None of the psychics I've met will tell you the world is coming to an end. They speak of a new level of consciousness emerging, and in some cases an end to the status quo. 


Even astrology speaks of old power structures falling, and as I am writing this the image that comes to mind is the The Tower. This tarot card represents the beliefs and structures we hold that no longer serve us, and of the need to demolish them. We can only alter our own reality, so take a close look at your life and think about what you could do better, and how you own interactions with others could be more equitable.

I have always had a deep sense of fairness, it's even in my astrology chart to root for the underdog in any situation. As a society we need to start thinking about how the world is experienced by others, including animals and the ecosystem. Our position in the world can be likened to a scale, we can be on the upside or on the downside. It is in our best interest to make sure the leveling off isn't disruptive. 

The next few years are going to see a lot of change, and anything that doesn't create a win-win result for the earth's inhabitants may need to change. We can be proactive with this change or we can wait for it to happen to us. There is a lot more to this than rooting for the underdog and caring for others (though it's a good start!), my intuition tells me that we also need to balance our karmas and raise our vibration. This is the task I've set out for myself, and I hope it will keep me on that positive side of the dual-reality.

Time for Change? Ask the Cards

Yesterday I picked up one of my Tarot books, and it flipped open to the Three of Swords which was a little bit jarring. The image is a big heart, with three swords piercing it. The card is supposed to be about grieving, and the pain that comes with a loss that we have to go through before moving on to the next phase of our lives. I flipped to two more pages, and the cards that appeared where the Ace of Pentacles, indicating a new creative idea that would result in some sort of stability.  The last card was the Hermit, which indicates a time for solitude, introspection and spiritual growth (big surprise!).

I was worried about the Three of Swords so this afternoon I sat down and properly shuffled the deck. The first to come up was the Knight of Swords, which touches on the need for disruptive change. The next card was the Ten of Cups; my deck shows a young family in a garden, with a big house behind them. It has to do with happiness and fulfillment in relationships, the kind that is earned through effort and hard work. Finally, the last card was The Devil, which indicates a need to shed the fears that imprison us. The images on this card are graphic, we see two subjects chained to a wall, and the devil sits above them, keeping them locked in their cell. If I skip around a bit, I'd take it to mean that I need to disrupt my life, get rid of whatever is holding me back, and work at the future that I want to have?

Overall, both of these speak of the need for change, and they indicate that it's time for me to move on. I also need to think about the fears that I need to shed. Just thinking out loud here, not sure what aspect of my life this refers to. I'm writing about this now, so that when these things start to happen I can come back to the reading and put it in perspective.

My Take on Spirituality

Someday I am going to write a book by this name, for now I am still exploring the subject so a post is about all I can manage. All of this psychic stuff is fun, I like doing practice readings especially because its still relatively new for me and I am pleasantly surprised when I tell people something that actually makes sense. At the end of the day, the readings are a way to keep it fun as I pursue my own spiritual development.

The psychic stuff can be a distraction and its important to find the time to chill and connect with your life. The universe brought me to Germany for a little getaway this weekend. Little did I know that the town shuts down on Sunday, and as the concierge told me the only thing I can do is take a walk down the river: "walk left, walk right, take a seat in the park". Funny because when the plane landed yesterday I had the distinct impression that this trip would let me get in touch with myself again. Sometimes we need to remove all distractions.

This weekend I left Geena the psychic student / energy healer on the shelf and  focused on being myself again. It is important not to lose sight of the fact that the psychic readings, the healing and the blog are by products of my spiritual awakening. The book I am writing will cover this, it should give me clarity and by automatic writing the text hopefully it will also shed some light on my path.

The Energy in our Food

Twice this month I have left food on my plate because I get a bad feeling about how the "food" was killed. And I am not talking about potatoes so if you're still into meat you might want to skip this post :-)

A couple weeks ago I was having a lunch with colleagues at a nice hotel in London. The food looked amazing, it was laid out brunch style and there were 4-5 really appetizing main dishes. I was actually excited, the food in our cafeteria can be depressing and repetitive. After two years eating the same cafeteria food I only look forward to Fish & Chip Fridays. Seriously.

So I took advantage and served myself to a nice medallion steak, italian salad and these cute little salmon cakes. Most of the guys at the table went for the steak as well. It looked really juicy and my mouth literally watered when I picked up the fork. Unfortunately, as soon as I put it in my mouth I went a little bit queasy and the taste went stale (gross).

No one else reacted that way, I asked my colleagues if their meals tasted funny they all said it was good. What happened next was odd, I looked back at my plate and suddenly I sensed the cow's energy. I got the impression that the animal was distressed when they killed it. It really grossed me out.

Today a similar thing happened, and I got to thinking about whether or not I want to be vegetarian. The problem with being vegetarian is that I really like meat, I am a huge fan of sushi and I can't live without Nando's chicken. And then, I've only had this energy queasiness 3-4 times this year, so not all animal meat is bad. I'm still struggling with this one, as you can see. 

Today I considered going kosher so hopefully I will avoid those distressed meats. It's interesting to think how food is energy, and the responsible and kind sourcing of that food preserves its positive energy.
