The world keeps on spinning


I'm exhausted! Splitting my time across three jobs is as complicated as it sounds.  It just so happens that when I resigned, the company was going to transfer me. It went ahead, and I'm working one morning on my old job, two and a half days on the "new job" and Thursday and Friday I write my Energy Healing book! 

It is lovely to have a three day week, but sticking to that split is a challenge. Today I spent too much time doing the "old" job and I have to catch up on everything tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll spend Thursday doing my "new" job instead of revising my book. My week sounds crazy. Maybe this is an opportunity for me to learn boundaries? Or to prioritize?


Aaaah!

My three day a week notice period is a fantastic opportunity for me to transition into my new life. But juggling it is hard. I'm going to collapse when I get home tonight. I'm so tired that I almost wish I wasn't going to Paris for the weekend! My life feels like a noisy carousel with flashing lights and spinning attractions. If it doesn't slow down I might punch a clown. Is that healerly enough for you? LOL.

Are Psychic Readings just Common Sense?

Sometimes I wonder if psychic readings are just common sense on steroids. The literal meaning of the word clairvoyance is "too see clearly," and  this has little to do with visualisation, symbols and images. It is about being able to see people, situations and challenges clearly and then using that vision to formulate a plan of action. This isn't to see that clairvoyant images have no role in readings. On some occasions I might get a symbol about what a situation means. 

For example, you could get a "stop sign" or a green light. In my daily life I won't activate my brow chakra all the time, and instead of an image I'll just understand things faster. I also think my mind is good at making connections and sometimes intuition kicks in and helps with these. Sometimes it feels like common sense and not intuition. I do wonder what that is about though, especially when things appear to be so obvious but other people just don't see them. Then again, it is so much easier to spot someone else's problem. My own can be very elusive! 

Today I gave my boss a psychic reading. I didn't mean to and she didn't ask for one. She asked for advice, and my mind kicked into channeling mode. I had to tone it down to make it work-friendly but it was a reading. With clients we're taught to tell it like it is.  In this case I had to be sure the words I said sounded professional and I found myself word-smithing the reading to give it corporate lingo. We talked about growth opportunities instead of karmic lessons and soul contracts.I didn't say half of the things that were running through my mind because they might not be tactful. It went over well though and I think it helped her. If anything, it made me realise that I'm ready to start coaching people. Call it a psychic reading, intuitive coaching, or common sensical advice.  

Have you ever seen the movie Cool Runnings? This is what intuition, clairvoyance and meditation can do for you. Love it!

Irrational Fears and Fragmented Souls




As a kid I was terrified of the Virgin Mary. We used to hear stories about other children who had seen her, for example at Fatima and in Yugoslavia. The topic came up often at our Catholic School and the kids were always revered. 

Once or twice we heard of very holy children who saw her and died young. What terrified me though, was the thought of a supernatural being appearing in the 1st place. How scary! When we prayed I would ask her not to appear and I would also keep my eyes shut. The thought of seeing her freaked me out. Growing up in a Catholic family, you can imagine how much this stressed me out. It wasn’t just the Virgin Mary that scared me. I was also scared of seeing angels. Ghosts and monsters didn’t frighten me so much because I didn’t think they were real. 

Why was I so worried about seeing an angel? Not sure this is the answer, but something came up in one of my classes this year. We were learning about Soul Retrievals and one of my classmates tried to heal me and I rejected it. Soul Retrieval has to do with traumatic experiences that are too much for us to assimilate, and this causes a piece of our soul to break off. In a session the healer would use clairvoyance and intuition to identify the moment when the soul fractured and then use healing to bring it back. This is how we would describe it in spiritual terms. A doctor who works with the human mind might look at it in a different angle. 

So how does this tie into my fear of seeing the supernatural?  My classmate sensed a toddler Geena who was frightened by a ghoul in the streets. She told me that the experience has traumatized me and I'd blocked it out.  I was also blocking my clairvoyance. Funny thing is I think she's right. I can feel, hear and sense Ascended Masters and angels but I do not see them clearly. And I never see earth bound spirits. She tried to send healing to my toddler-self, but I wasn't ready to accept it. Even now I am reluctant to see dark energies and spirits. When people ask I like to reply that I only see nice things. One of my friends heard this and told me we shouldn’t be scared of the dark. After all you can only see light in darkness. 

It's been a few weeks since the session and I've been meditating on it. Still wondering if and when I'll be ready to integrate that part of my soul again. Would I mean that I'll see everything? I think I want to. It all goes hand in hand with some of the other fun topics that we've studied in school, including Spirit Release. So far I've had one instance where I am sure that my client had some sort of spirit attached. I could feel it in the room but I couldn't see it. In that case I asked Archangel Michael to come take it away and only held the space. It was not as scary as I thought it would be and I was left with a little bit of an adrenalin rush at the end of the session. It took me a while to figure out what was going on.

Living with Reiki - A Book Review

I just had a look at my Kindle and I have six books going at the moment! The list is varied, I was reading 50 Shades and now I'm done with book 2 so I can move back to my normal interests: healing, vampire fiction, witchy fiction, quantum physics, Russian classics, and How to Blog a Book. At the moment I have War & Peace going as well as a new book I've just downloaded called the Magick of Reiki: Focused Energy for Healing, Ritual and Spiritual Development. Its written by a healer-slash-witch called Christopher Penczak. The reviews say it will teach me to use Reiki to further my spiritual development and to "partner with the universe" and make magic in my life! Sounds exciting. Magic is more than spells, I think it is about using the law of attraction and trusting universal energy to work for us as it best knows how. Can't wait to read the book! 


I was inspired to learn more about Reiki after downloading Wojciech "Nathaniel" Usarzewicz's latest book: Living with Reiki: the story of spiritual journey through the healing art for new age. If you are not familiar with Nathaniel, he runs a blog called A State of Mind which  used to be obstinately psi-oriented, and has recently been transformed into spirituality, manifestation and pure positivity. The past year I've been reading Nate's posts on ASOM wondering what caused the shift and his book spells out the answer. It looks like Reiki has changed his outlook on life! Nathaniel is also applying it in ways that I hadn't thought of. Funny thing is I put the book down 2 months ago, and stopped just before Nate explained how we used Reiki to start his publishing company, find more readers and sell more books. That is what I'm aiming to do right this minute! =) 


I'm curious to learn more about Reiki, particularly the way Nate applies it. His books talks in great detail about how he has used it to bring about positive change in his life. Integrating everything we know is the real challenge. Its easier to talk the talk than it is to walk the talk. Especially when you (I) are bombarded with info online and in books. How do we take all of the things we learn and use them to  heal aspects of ourselves that we thought we couldn't get away from? I felt compelled to stop reading and make a note of this before I forget it. Its nice to follow in someone else's footsteps, particularly when they've published lots of books (which I'd like to do!), and they've managed to heal themselves along the way. I'm going to wait till I've read the rest of the book before changing my Amazon book wheel, but I think this one will make my Top 10. Hmmmm, who would I bump? Possibly Nate's other book, Psychic Development Simplified? Only seems fair  ;-)

Learning to Pace Myself

This is my 1st official week working part-time! Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I went to the office and Thursday and Friday I get to spend my time writing, healing and also chilling out. I could really get used to this. A couple years ago I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the author talked about creating assets that would make money even if you don't work 9 to 5. That gets us out of the rat race. My long term vision is for my books to do that. I do like working but I think a flexible work schedule will be good for me. 

In the long run it will be easier to live in the UK if I can write when I'm in Mexico and still publish. My last day at work is in February and I think I'll go to Mexico for a couple weeks to do healings and to write there. It will be nice to chill out, go to the beach and spend some time with the family. I have to say I am really enjoying my new part corporate, part creative life. The 1st draft of my Guide to Energy Healing is done and I'm planning on publishing it before the year is over. At the moment I'm revising the draft, rewriting it, and then I'll let a few friends and healers have a look and give me feedback. If anyone knows a freelance editor and proof reader that would also be really helpful! My goal is to self-publish it and I'd like to make sure it reads well. 

My intuition tells me not to rush it. The feeling that I need to hurry is mostly driven by fear. I have about 5 months to get this going while I'm still part time at work. When that runs out I aim to have a solid healing practice and a "passive" income from my books. =) 

In the meantime I'm trying to keep things simple. Focus on the small tasks that will lay the groundwork for my publishing business in the future. So I'm going to focus on writing, blogging and networking online. Once I've managed to keep that going I might start adding new elements to my plans. At the moment there are too many things that I'd like to do so I guess its best to prioritise and then build on it in the future. The funny thing is I've landed on a business idea that leverages all of my experiences the past 10-15 years: energy healing, business school, marketing, and my undergraduate degree in philosophy. When I chose Philosophy I had no idea how to make it work as part of a day job. Now writing seems to fit quite nicely. Follow your passion I tell you!

Serenity Now!

The past couple of weeks I have been toying with the idea of putting my name and my face on my blog. On one hand I’m really loving this and I want to shout about it to everyone I meet. My mom keeps asking if she can share it with her friends and with my extended family. At the moment few people know that this is my blog. I've kept it anonymous because it gives me a chance to explore without stressing too much about whether people will understand it or like it. The other big plus is that I can write about people and the things that happen without offending them or freaking them out. Today is one of those days when I’m glad this is still anonymous. 

         This morning I volunteered in my school's clinic. There are usually 4-5 accredited healers and any students work under their supervision. I've been to the clinic about 5 times and it is always great practice. As a student I learn a lot because the clients tend to need healing more than my case studies. We also see a greater variety of clients. Sharing the space with another healer can be a little bit awkward and sometimes its hard to move naturally without bumping into each other.  When I'm working with my own clients I tend to go where my intuition leads me. If I'm at the clinic I find myself grounding, holding the space, and staying out of the healer’s way. Some are more fluid in their approaches and they let us get in there. Other healers can be very rigid and directive.  

       Today the structure nearly drove me crazy. I had to make like a duck and let the water slide off my back. Don’t get me wrong, she was a lovely lady and a great healer. She gave me a healing that I am so grateful for. I have been pretty tense the past couple of weeks and I feel completely relaxed now. What I don't like is constantly being reminded that I'm a student. Pushes my yellow buttons. It makes it harder when the person who does the reminding feels obliged to teach me a lesson. I have tutors for that, and I’m two weeks away from my panel, for Christ’s sake! It was all I could do to stay centered and attuned. We got off to a rocky start because of a misunderstanding which I cleared asap. The first session was a bit awkward but eventually she warmed up to me. 

       I think I may have rattled her with my vibes. What can I learn from today? I could be more aware of how much order and structure people need to feel secure. My relaxed Mexican attitude puts some people feel at ease, but it can make others nervous. I have a Swiss friend at work who gets rattled when I propose a creative opening for our team meetings. All in all, today wasn’t bad. The very nice, structured healer pointed out a mistake that I need to avoid at my panel. At one point I was holding my hands too close to the client's heart chakra and she suggested I let my arms float and find the right spot. That will come in handy as I don't want to squish one of the tutor's brow chakras at the panel. Its the little things we forget when we're being watched LOL.
