Reiki Readings

Last night I came home to a nice surprise! Three Angel Readings booked online! I am not charging much, and when I have asked my Guides if I should raise the price they say no. My readings are short, sweet and to the point. At the moment I am keen to practice email readings and I'm grateful for every opportunity.  In a couple months I may start with 10-15 minute Skype readings.  

It is a great way to push myself past the stage fright. I used to block the messages because I got nervous, but now they come quickly. One of the greatest challenges is actually translating the Angel Reading from pictograms to words.  Tuning in at a distance is quite the experience too. The novelty should have worn off by now, but I'm still pleasantly surprised that email readings can be so accurate. The angel takes the credit on that one, they are not bound by time or space. LOL. 

Today I tried a new technique to set up the reading. I used one of the Reiki Symbols to build a bridge to the client. This symbol is used to send Distant Reiki. This symbol reminds me of Hiro Nakamura from the tv show Heroes. Hiro was the Master of Time and Space. This Reiki Symbol bends time and space, building a bridge through the Unified Energy Field that sustains us all. We use it at the start of a Distant Reiki session to establish the connection, and again at the end to close it. 

If we can use that bridge to send and receive Reiki, we can also use it to read the client's energy field during a psychic reading. It was a nice experiment! I've had good feedback on the 1st reading, and I'm curious to see what comes up in the second one. If this works I may use it in most of my Angel Readings   =)

A Little Reiki, A Little Magic

A few weeks ago one of my classmates was gifted a healing wand by one of her Spirit Guides. A metaphysical wand, not an actual crystal wand. He gave it to her in a clairvoyant meditation and said she could use it to heal herself or others. This week she told us about how it's worked for her. I'm trying to remember what I've received from my guides. One time I got a cauldron. Another time a frying pan. I think the message was to cook. LOL. I haven't thought about it since (tsk, tsk, tsk). 

Today I was feeling a bit cheeky and asked my guides if I could have a healing wand. When I asked I was sitting in a circle, waiting for my Reiki Teacher to initiate me as a Reiki II Practitioner. I don't need a healing wand, but I'd like a wand. My spirit guide echoed that thought. Instead, he gave me what I like to call a Harry Potter wand, one that I can use to manifest things in the physical world. How exciting! He also said I can use this now to attract clients to my Reiki Practice, readers for my soon-to-be-published book, etc.  


I accepted it gratefully. 


Tonight I had my first chance to give the wand a go. When I came home from my full day Reiki Workshop I was knackered. My shower wouldn't heat up, not good news, and it turns out my boiler went out. The pilot light goes out when it's windy and I have never been able to switch it back on. My landlord usually has to send someone, and it takes them 10-15 minutes once they are here. It is Sunday night and my chances of getting a repairman in now were slim. So I fiddled around with it for a few minutes, and decided to ask for help. I put my left hand on the boiler, called on Archangel Raziel to breath fire into it, and then channeled Reiki at the boiler. I think Doreen Virtue wrote about a time when she healed her car's engine with her bare hands, and got it to start again. I figure I could do the same for the boiler. The pilot light started flashing and the flame came on! In under one minute! How Amazing!!! That's when I remembered the magic wand, not before. I'm not entirely sure why I called on Raziel. His name popped into my mind when I put my hand on the boiler. Raziel is said to hold the secrets of the universe, and that has to include my elusive boiler. 


This reminded me of a card that keeps coming up lately, the Queen of Earth from Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot. On the card we see a woman using a magic want to manifest a pot of gold and magic around her. While the Queen of earth is about material comfort, that comfort is meant to be a basis that makes it easier for us to enjoy our life, including time with others. Today's magic wand brings me back to the visual and being able to manifest that pot of gold. For myself and for others, as everything we share comes back to us tenfold. 

This is where I am right now, an exciting place to be! Reiki is referred to as healing fire, and along the same lines, we can make the most of the elements.

Did You Notice Your Angels Today?


A couple weeks ago I ran a simple poll, asking my readers what they'd like to know about angels. The intention was to channel a post, or even several posts, on angels. The #1 question was a pleasant surprise: 

How can we help the angels do their job?

The angels love this question! It has so many layers. Angels have a huge job to do on earth: healing, guiding, protecting, and inspiring us all. I love my angel classes because they give me a chance to strengthen that connection with the angels. The more you practice, the easier it is to sense their energy and to receive intuitive messages. Angels and Spirit Guides alike can be very specific and useful. An angel reading isn't about seeing the future or asking if/when something we want will happen. Instead, we get pointers from a "friend" who sees a bigger picture. My angel classes are about channeling these messages, for ourselves or for other people. Here's an example:

A couple weeks ago my sister came to visit me in London, and I brought her along as a guest. My classmates took turns giving her readings. Most of the messages were about her life purpose, her career and how she can  open up to give and receive even more good things. These messages were all about her life on a grand scheme. One of the messages, however, was so mundane that it made us all laugh: "Careful when you cross the street." The  classmate who got this message hesitated, but it couldn't have been more relevant. My sister lives in New York and she's not used to cars driving on the left side of the street. She's also airy-fairy and sweeps along the sidewalk in a careful dance. Would she notice the signs at the crossings that say "Look Left" or "Look Right"? Possibly not, especially if she's jet-lagged. I'm glad my psychic classmate passed the message on. 

The reading helped my sister's guardian angel do the safekeeping side of their job. She freaked out for a second, but she remembered. Otherwise, her angel would have followed her along London's streets, making sure she turned her head at the right moment. My sister's angels probably have a lot of practice with this already (as do mine!). At a very basic level, we can make our guardian angel's job easier by taking care of ourselves. They want us to be grounded, aware of our surroundings, and aware of them. How do we go about developing that awareness? A relevant question for another post!

Channeled Angel Messages

Dear Readers,  

I thought it would be fun to post a Channeled Angel Messages directly on the blog, for those of you who may not have Facebook.  The format is similar to the Interactive Color Readings I've done in the past. Have a look at the shapes and tell us  which one stands out most to you. The colour and the shapes have been chosen to illustrate each of the readings. I'll post the messages in a day or two,  so don't forget to come back for them. Any feedback is also appreciated. 

Feel free to comment here or on Facebook  =)



And here are the messages! 

Orange Pac-Man:  The angels tell me you're very hungry these days. Hungry for life. Hungry for Love. You are more than ready to take a big bite out of Life. I've chosen the color orange because it is the color of our sacral chakra, which links to passion, sexuality and also appetite for more.  The sacral chakra is also closely related to our ability to experience abundance in daily life. The angels want you to know that all of this is yours for the taking. 


You may have noticed that the circle is missing a wedge. This does not mean the circle is incomplete. Instead, this wedge represents your ability to receive abundance for the universe. Having a little empty space is good. Like Pac Man, we all need to have some room left for dessert. The real message behind the orange shape is two fold. 1) Don't be greedy. 2) Make room in your life for a nice little surprise from the universe. If you're "full" you won't be able to receive it, and that surprise might go to someone else. 


Blue Rectangle: In my mind, this shape was meant to be a white  canvas. Its very hard to make white standout against a white background, so I opted for pale blue instead. The messages is still the same: Life is What You Make of It! We all start out with an empty canvas and life throws things at it. Some of them are nice, others not so much. Every now and again, we're given a clean slate. This is what the angels want to give you right now, but they need help. It would be of no use to receive a brand new canvas, and muddy it with the same water we've been using all along. Now is the time to clear limiting beliefs and mental patterns. Let go of resentment, anger and regret. Give yourself a moment to heal, and then pick up the brush and start painting again. A new day has come. I love this song by Celine Dion, so let's leave it at that:






Green Rectangle:  Every now and then, we get stuck in a limiting mental pattern. It happens to everyone. You look at the same math problem too many times and you stop seeing the answers. In my case, I've spent too many hours poring over my new book and its not making any sense to me. The message from the angels is to stop and take a breather. Sit down outside. Let the air clear your head, and then come back to your problem with a new perspective.


It's also time to start thinking outside the box. Go back to your most basic assumptions and question them to see if they hold true. If you're struggling with a choice, ask a friend to point out the flaws in your thought pattern. A fresh pair of eyes can shed light on some of the questions you've been reviewing in your mind. Take a break and ask for a little help from your friends   =) 


Lightning Bolt: This is about divine energy and that spark of life we all carry inside us. The angels suggest that you take some time to reconnect with your divine presence. You are a loved and special child of the universe. The angels also suggest that you think, speak and act with this in mind. Every last part of our being can and should be a reflection of our true self. It is time to start bringing that consciousness into your waking life. This doesn't mean living up to the ideal of a perfect person; rather it is about loving and accepting yourself exactly the way you are now. To quote Lady Gaga (again!)



"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are ... 
cause [God] made you perfect, babe."

My First Psychic Readings

Two weeks ago I gave my first psychic reading to a complete stranger. Quite the experience. It was during class at my psychic school in London. This class is also the reason for my 21 Days of Angel Readings on Facebook, we have to practice channeling as homework! Over the Internet I use Angel Tarot cards to prompt the message, especially if I'm not familiar with the person I'm reading. Otherwise it can be tough to sense their energy at a distance. In class we don't use props. No questions, background, or general area that they want to inquire about. We do get a name from them, and that's it! We ask the angel to tell us what they most need to hear, and then we start talking. Each reading lasts a whole 15 minutes!  


This wasn't the first time we had guests in class. There are usually 1-2 people who come in for Circle Readings. The group sits in a circle and meditates before starting. Each person gives a 3-5 minute reading. My sister came along a few weeks ago as a special guest. It was fun for me because I could tell that the readings were accurate as we went along. There was also a story arc to the readings, so that each person had a different piece of the story and we only got the full picture at the end. There is less pressure in Circle Readings, as you're only up for a few minutes and then it's someone else's turn. The meditation lasts 10 minutes; more than enough to get a message. We also learn a lot about how to phrase readings by listening to the other students in the class.  

Circle Readings are pretty cozy. The one-to-one readings don't have this buffer, though its nice to have more time. Two weeks ago we had our first set of guests for one-to-one's, and I was lucky enough to practice on three people. I got a little bit stuck with the first one. Initially I rejected the image because it was also a hobby of mine. When I finally decided to mentioned it, the image was relevant. What else? I skipped the 2 minute meditation at the beginning. This made it harder because I found myself receiving images and talking at the same. The next reading was easier. I got three distinct images, though I had to prod her on the messages that didn't seem accurate to make sense of the reading. By the time I got to the 3rd guest; I was glad to be done. This time I saw three scenes in a forrest and described them literally. When we got to the end she understood what it meant. She was also told me my clairvoyant images were metaphors, which helped. It only clicked when she realised the reading didn't involve her hiking in the woods. I had a lot of Aha Moments! after this practice session. 

This week we had our second group of guests in class. I took my time before each session, meditating until I got clear visuals. With one of these I asked the Angels to show me three cards from Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot. They popped into my mind and I went on to describe them. The reading was surprisingly accurate, though at the end I got a little bit stuck when we started talking about what it all meant. That feeling of being stuck belonged to the guest. I didn't realise it and just felt a little helpless. Everything the psychic feels is a reflection of the client. When the last guest sat down for a reading, I was similarly stuck for a minute or two before I realised the sensation I was getting didn't belong to me. At that moment I was able to push it aside and get the rest of the message. It was pretty interesting because the more you practice the easier it becomes. In a lot of ways, sensing the information is similar to what I do in my energy healing. Those impressions help me direct the healing session. During psychic readings, those impressions tell me what to talk about. The intuitive signs are there, I just need a little practice recognising them. =)

Can Deepak Chopra Save the Economy?

Deepak Chopra  launched a series of guided meditations focused on abundance. Its nicely called the 21 Day Meditation Challenge. There's a well known psychology theory about how long it takes to establish a habit in our minds. If you do the same thing everyday for 21 days running, the pathways in your brain are rearranged to make this recurring activity a habit. In the current economic climate, this series of meditations will be very helpful for thousands of people. It's particularly relevant for me as I start my healing and writing business. Kudos to Deepak for taking steps to shift the collective unconscious in a positive direction. Barack Obama, David Cameron and the rest of our global leaders could thank Deepak for pitching in on this one. =) 


I’m a philosophy major, not an economist, but economic theory tell us that the wealth of a nation expands and contracts over time. Economists track the Gross Domestic Product which is the sum total of all the wealth that's been generated by the private sector. On another level, the stock market reflects people's expectations about the future. It rises when the financial world is optimistic, peaks it gets carried away and falls when the bubble bursts. The past five years have seen all three stages. Our political and financial leaders have a big job to do. They need to bring people back to a state of realistic optimism. Otherwise, consumers pull back on spending because they worry about financial problems in the future, which leads them to believe they need to stock up on cash. This limits the flow of money in the economy. It's a vicious cycle, because cautious consumers generate fewer business transactions. Companies find it harder to turn a profit, which may lead to cuts across the board. 

Though many people are having a tough time now (or are worried about having at tough time in the future), there is still plenty of potential to create abundance and wealth. Just look at Apple, who has seen record growth over the past couple of years. They sell gadgets at a premium price, despite the fact that we managed to do without them for years. And people love them - heck I love my MacBook Air and my iPod. What sets Apple apart is the inspiration and the purpose behind their products. Steve Jobs may not have been the nicest person, if you read his biography, but he had a clear vision and it paid off. I'm guessing he had overactive brow and solar plexus chakras. The brow is linked to clairvoyant vision, and the solar plexus moderates our levels of aggression towards others. These two chakras are energetically linked, and when I read his biography these qualities stood out. We don't need to go to Steve's extremes, but we can still be successful. A shift in consciousness will put us on his side of the fence. 

Good job Deepak! =)

I'm running 10 days late with Deepak's meditations. Listened to Day 3 this morning. Before you tell me off for being a slacker, my internet's been down! What a coincidence though - The mantra today was: Today, I focus on what I want to attract into my life.  I've spent all week drawing my vision board, and this series of meditations will help me bring it to life. The next 3 weeks I'll do one meditation every day. When I'm inspired I'll write about it too. I'll try to keep my commentary brief, so that I can carry on writing about my angel readings, healings and other stuff. This has turned out to be a busy month, with 21 Days of Meditation thanks to Deepak, and 21 Days of Angel Channeling on my Facebook page! Sometimes it's entertaining to have a lot going on. 



Thank you for reading!
Reiki hugs, Regina
