Giving Up Wheat for Pesaj

I am giving up bread, corn, and other wheat-y foods during Passover next week. Though I am not Jewish, I have been studying Kabbalah and one of the things we learned is the energy of food and how we can use it to raise our vibration. Wheat-y things certainly do feed my gluttonous impulses so I can relate to cutting them out for a week and making room for spiritual growth. 

It could also be a good time to do a real spring cleaning and get rid of things that I no longer need in my life. This could be my own interpretation but I see it as a good opportunity to clean my soul, mind and my living quarters of old energy/food/clutter. Out with the old, in with the new and hopefully lots of good.   

I haven't given anything up for Lent this year (or the past 10 years). Giving up something for Lent always struck me as symbolic whereas giving up wheat next week is meant to have an effect on the energy body and it's ability to receive light. I am curious and I thought I would give it a try to see what happens.

Are some people spiritually color blind?

I have come to the conclusion that some people are spiritually color blind. In healing sessions, some clients feel the energy and others don't. Some see energy, colors and flashes of light in their chakras. Others don't. Some people are naturally intuitive. Others seem to have upper chakras that are switched off.  

Seeing is believing.

I used to be a skeptic and it was only until a random set of coincidences pointed me towards an Angel book that I started to open up. Then came my 1st psychic development workshop. I didn't think I would get much as I had never tried it before. The teacher said to make it up if we couldn't see or feel anything. 

My 1st thought was - seriously?

She had us sit in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we imagined ourselves visiting our classmate's house. How big was the house? How many floors, how many bedrooms? What were the decorations like? Did they have pets, children, roommates? What was the view like? She narrated these questions and gave us some time to dream up the answers. It was a mind blowing exercise.

When I was visualising his kitchen I imagined myself looking out a window and saw my aunt's garden. A second later it disappeared and I saw a brick building. Then the garden was back. The counter top in the kitchen was the same granite I had at home. 

Images from my life came to mind whenever the teacher asked a question. When the meditation was over I started describing what I saw and was shocked to realise that I got it right! 

• Three bedrooms, check!
• Small dog, check!
• Kitchen with view of garden and brick building, check!
• Wooden floors and glass tables in the library, check!

Then my classmate went on to describe my flat. He mentioned a really long winding hallway - at the time I lived in a huge building and had to walk for 5 minutes to get from the elevator to my door. He correctly spotted the white theme with pink flowers. The fact that I did not have a dog (but wanted one, how odd was that?) and so many other things. I was even more shocked to hear his reading. 

This was a great way to get beginners started on the psychic reading trail. In readings you'll often get a sense of issues that might be a little too personal or painful and you wonder how to say it. No one is touchy or sensitive about the color of their carpets so it is a lot easier say whatever comes to mind. It is also a great way to get confirmation that what you are seeing and receiving is accurate. 

Whenever I run into a skeptic or disbeliever who is rudely dismissive of psychics I think back to this experience. I don't know why they don't see what I see, but I wouldn't let a colorblind person tell me I'm crazy for seeing a color differently than they do. This isn't any different. Rather than argue, I'd rather bring them to class and see what happens.

What's next, Pope Francis?

I have a good feeling about Pope Francis. For one, I love the name he chose: St Francis of Assisi was very kind and friendly to nature and the animal world. He saw the beauty in Mother Nature.

Jesuit priests are also respected in the Catholic world for their unassuming personality and strong work ethic. Their schools are strong on academics and skills development, rather than dial up the religious aspect (at least in Mexico). The update that I saw most often last night on my personal Facebook page was "Habemus Papa Jesuita!"

Nice surprise. What impressed me most was the complete sense of calm and serenity on the balcony when he greeted the crowds. 

Being from Mexico, I have to admit its pretty cool that he is from Latin America. I am really curious to see what he does during his papacy (is that what you call it?). And if he modernizes the Church and brings more diversity into its ranks.

I would also like to see Catholics learn to meditate, feel the energies around us and tune into their angels as well as Jesus & Mary's energy directly to get answers. Let's not forget that Higher Power we call God either. Maybe Catholics tune in already through prayer but the "asking frame of mind" is very different from the "receiving frame of mind."

If I had a personal audience with Pope Francis I would suggest he bring intuitive development into the church because it can really dial up people's spiritual development. It also moves them from a place of "faith" to "certainty." People say its hard to have faith when we ask God for answers and hear no reply. 

That belief exists because most of us were never told that we could see or hear angels and saints by activating our chakras. Clairvoyance make going to mass exciting (have a look at my first ever post, HERE). It is fun to watch what goes on around you.

The new pope will be ... a man!

A few years ago I attended an award ceremony at work. My team was nominated for redefining the way Pepsi did business in Mexico. The event was held at a fancy location and a famous comedian hosted the evening. When the time came to hand out the last award, the company's six vice presidents - all men - joined the CEO on stage. The comedian could not resist the chance to crack a joke, saying it was good to see gender equality alive and well at Pepsico. Ouch!

I could practically feel the CEO cringing. Those of us who worked there knew he championed diversity and went out of his way to push for a work-life balance  that would make it easier for women to juggle family and careers (especially in my native Mexico, where gender roles are still very traditional). When I joined the company in 2005, the male-female ratio was roughly 50/50

This was true for most of the levels in the organization. Even our marketing directors were split between both genders, we had one man and two women at the helm. The global chairman is also a woman; the brilliant Indra Nooyi. PepsiCo is by no means a male dominated company, but as luck would have it, both of the company's female VP's had left a few months earlier. Still, the comment stung. 

This memory resurfaced today as I watched a stream of cardinals enter the conclave at the Vatican. Whatever happens, this new pope will not be a woman. It's not because the women dropped out of the race, making a perfectly valid decision to have children instead of pursuing a career (ahem, vocation) in the Church. This is an organization that makes a conscious decision to fail the diversity test.  If they were so inclined, I am sure the Church could find female candidates in their ranks. For example, my elementary school was run by a Catholic nun who would have jumped at the chance to become a priest-ess. Instead, Sister Kathleen ruled our school with an iron fist. 

For various reasons, the Church finds itself in a situation where it needs to adapt or watch its numbers dwindle. Though some may argue that Church policy is not a democracy, its members do have the option of finding a different spiritual path. As a lapsed Catholic, I sincerely hope the man elected will have what it takes to get with the times.

On a positive note, the Church hasn't fallen too far behind in the overall scheme of things. Women have only been able to vote in America for the past 100 years. We have only been considered equals in the work force for a few decades. The Church has been around for 2K years and is typically slow to adjust, especially to new cultural trends. I think it is now safe to say that gender equality is not a fad. 

Personally, if this is too much of a stretch for the Catholic Church, I would at least advocate for priests who are able to marry and have children. They would be more in touch with the pressures of family life and better able to give practical advice. A few years ago I met a priest who only became a priest after his wife passed away, and he had three grown kids and plenty of grandchildren. It was a lot easier for him to relate to his parishioners for the same reason, he'd been there. Also, the Church would be less likely to cover up child abuse if its officials were actually parents. In terms of subconscious affiliations, though you’d think that wouldn’t matter. It probably does.

Healing Ancestral Lines with Mediumship and Reiki

A couple weeks ago I was feeling fearful about my future. The thing with fear is it is completely irrational. Some risks are meant to give us the jitters but if it's calculated risk, I think you make the decision and go for it. Don't look back. That is what I did when I decided to go part-time in September and then to leave my job at the end of January. 

I also had a specific plan and it is on track:

• Publish my book on Self-Healing and Cancer. The writing, revising and editing are done! The cover design and pictures are in process. Next week I'll start on the layout design and then I am sending it off to Amazon to Kindle publish. =)

• I am going home to Mexico for 2 months in the summer to start writing book #2 and to promote this first one, which should help because I won't have to pay rent for a couple months. 

• In the meantime I have one-off Reiki Sessions, Angel Readings and my savings to pay the bills. In August I might take a part-time job or a healing job and I feel good about that. 

My mind tells me everything is going well and I kept trying to visualize success and go for it. Why was I feeling this irrational fear? I made a resolution to meditate on it and heal any traces of fear and worry from my system (and my solar plexus). The question was: where is that fear coming from? My dad kept popping into my mind but I could not figure out what that meant. I thought it might have something to do with wanting to live up to his expectations but that was not it. I was puzzled. 

As luck would have it I went for a jog in the park and found myself outside a bookstore. On a whim I went in and found a lovely deck of cards: Doreen Virtue's Angel Therapy Deck. It was exactly what I needed. I sat in the park and pulled two angel cards: 

• Vacuum Away Your Fears: Essentially this card suggested that I ask Archangel Michael to vacuum any fears from my solar plexus and take them away so that I wouldn't feel anxious. Archangel Michael could then step in to heal the solar plexus, make it strong again and help me feel confident. I also like to give myself Reiki when I ask for healing. Gives it a boost! 

• Parents:  Ahh, this card pointed back to my dad. The picture shows a man and woman sitting on a log, playing the guitar and singing. My eyes kept going to the "dad" in the picture and I felt like my dad (who passed away 10 yrs ago) was trying to send me a message. I asked my angels to tell me what this card meant and what I got was a visual of my dad being very fearful and anxious about taking financial risks. Hmmm, it rang a bell. 

I picked up the booklet and read the description for this card. One of the things it mentioned is how children can sometimes absorb their parents beliefs, feelings and attitudes. As a highly sensitive kid I learned to be anxious and risk-averse from my dad. He was not completely risk averse but I do think worrying about that things might go wrong undermined his willingness to take risks. I think he was coming to me now because he wanted to let me know that I was feeling his fears, not mine. Funny thing is I am not risk averse: I go for it, but I'm a nervous wreck LOL. But then it works out in the end.

It was time to let go of those fears. This made tons of sense to me. The few months I always pulled the same card in the Angel Tarot when I asked about this new adventure: The Knight of Fire. The card shows a Knight on horseback, the horse looks like it's taking a few steps back and the knight pushes it forward. I take the horse to be the nervousness we feel when we're taking risks. The knight is our resolution to persevere and win. It tells me it's time to tame my subconscious and lead with confidence. That was easier to do once I was able to pinpoint the source of my fears and heal them.

A Mirror in a Mirror - by Michael Kaufmann

I am very pleased to introduce a guest post by my Reiki teacher, Michael Kaufmann. Michael has a lighthearted approach to teaching which make his workshops thoroughly enjoyable; whether it is a Reiki Attunement or a weekend seminar on Japanese healing techniques and meditation. 

When I was a child I accidentally discovered a way to contemplate infinity using only two mirrors, one handheld and one on the wall.

I was wondering what would happen if I looked at a mirror reflected in another mirror.  I played around and then suddenly there was a moment when an endless tunnel of reflected mirrors opened up, a window into infinity.

In my excitement, I took my father's tripod and mounted the handheld mirror onto it, trying to make it as still as possible to make the tunnel as deep as possible.

As the chain of reflections fused into a dark vanishing point in the "distance", I felt that this dark point was a piece of the same infinity that I saw when I looked at sky at night.

I repeated this experiment often.  It became one of the visual meditations that I loved then and still love to this day, like staring into an open fire, star gazing, watching the sun set, waves rolling onto the shore, snow flakes floating to the ground.

Later, when I started to meditate, I found the same sense of infinity behind closed eyelids in an inner space that deepened and expanded with time.

Go and explore this inner space in yourself, have glimpses of your own infinity!  Unlike the virtual space between facing mirrors, your inner space is full of life, light and spirit.
