The Value of Commitment

Lately I have been doubting my ability to become a full-time healer. I am glad I wrote this book on healing and cancer, I wouldn't have it any other way, but it's time to get a job again. At least for a while. I am hoping for a short term or part-time job to give me a decent source of income. A permanent contract could also work, though it would require more commitment. I am not ready to give up yet.  

Commitment is the key word. Funny thing is when I ask whether it is possible to pull of my dream of becoming a full-time healer and writer, the card that comes up is the Commitment card from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael deck. I understand, commit to an outcome Regina. But what does it mean? I finally had a clear answer at Kabbalah class yesterday. You have to want it as much as Rudy wanted to play football at Notre Dame (if you don't remember the 90's movie, see below!). Rudy didn't make the cut, he was too small to play, but he really wanted to play. And when we really want something, the Universe adds an extra oomph that pushes us over the barrier.  

Yesterday we had what I would call an unconventional bible class. Kabbalah looks at the Bible as a metaphor that we can deconstruct to find a hidden meaning. It never says what it means. And its not literal. This week we touched on Noah's Arc and the flood. Noah saved the human race and animals by bringing male and female pairs onto the boat. He could have saved more people. He didn’t try because he didn’t think it possible. Maybe he was hung up on the physical limitations. Maybe Noah felt special because God singled him out, saying: Noah, save yourself!  

Well, the Kabbalist says: Noah knew about the flood ahead of time so that he could warn others. They didn't want to listen? Try harder. They could have built more boats. They had time to do it. That also begs the question: Did God send the flood or was it a natural disaster that they could have escaped? I don't believe in a God that intentionally causes pain on Earth, and more often than not, intuition sends warning signs so that we can sidestep those events. That is what our guardian angels are here for, to protect and serve =) 

So what could Noah have done differently? Yesterday we  heard about three different bible characters and their approaches to life. First Noah, who was hung up on whether he could. Then Abraham who had a clear desire to help others. He wanted to. (You'll have to forgive me here because I don't have an example, not an avid bible reader). From a Kabbalistic point of view, desire creates a vacuum in us that the universe fills with spiritual energy. Desire to help others creates a bigger more powerful vacuum. So truly wanting something, and wanting to help others, makes a bigger difference than whether we think we can. And whether common sense agrees. It's about will power. 

Finally, the last example was Moses who famously freed the slaves in Egypt. He knew he could. He wanted to. And against all odds and his own bad temper, he pushed as hard as he could until he made it happen. Moses was truly committed. That was the example to follow. Our homework was to identify areas where we feel that we can’t make any progress. Whether it’s getting along with relatives. Having a stable, romantic relationship. Doing well financially. Where do we feel helpless? The task was to upgrade our thinking from "I can't" to "I want to" and finally "I have to, no matter what." We have to fight for it. 

Here's the movie trailer. Enjoy!

Is everything going online?

Today was another first! I moved into my new flat a month ago and am just about done transferring the utility bills to my name. Today I logged onto EDF Energy to ask about my electric bill as I still hadn't heard from them. I was planning on calling them up to ask. Calling companies to ask about accounts isn't at the top of my enjoyment list. You have to wait in line whilst listening to the same songs over and over, etc. 

As it turns out, I didn't have to call them. There was a little chat icon on their Contact Us page inviting me to chat live with an advisor. How weird! This didn't exist three years ago when I moved into my previous flat. I chatted with a nice person named Simon. He took my details, my meter reading and set up my account. Without actually speaking with someone. I wouldn't say it was impersonal because there was a person on the other end of the line (I hope). But still, new to me. Have you had an online chat with your phone company? It felt like an oddly natural evolution ...

The Psychic Learning Curve

I signed up for two classes this term: ‘Remote Viewing’ and ‘Opening Your Channel.’ Both new territory for me. I had forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. The Remote Viewing exercises are unlike anything I have tried before. This week I struggled to get it. I think its because I want the reading to unfold in a particular way and it doesn't. I was also stressed that day and my mood wasn't helping much either. Grrr. 

So what did we do in Remote Viewing this week? We were supposed to draw a squiggle, spontaneously, to match the object that we were remote viewing. People draw different things. I tried to clairvoyantly see the image and draw it, when we were supposed to just squiggle without thinking. I squiggled. Didn't match =/

The next exercise was better. The teacher had us tune into the inside of an envelope. We started by mapping our psychic coordinates (where we were, and what data point we were asking about: the envelope) before answering a series of questions. For example:

• Is it solid?
• Is there liquid?
• Is it alive? 

I saw a stone, like a dry pumice rock. So I answered Yes, No, No. We then went on to ask the following: 

• What color is it?
• Is there a scent?
• What do you hear?

I saw Red and Blue colors. Then I smelled sea water and salty air. I also heard waves crashing, an ocean. Hmmm. When we compared notes, the guy next to me also got the sea and waves crashing. I thought maybe a rock or a stone at the beach? 

Not quite! The teacher opened the envelop and pulled out a postcard. The image was of a protest rally in Central London. I couldn't be further off, though it might have been my conclusion that was wrong. The colours in the image were grey, blue and red (so at least, I got colors right). I think the stone could have been the pavement. There wasn't any water in the picture though there was a pub in the background. I didn't pick up on the people in the picture. Some of the elements were accurate but overall, I had it wrong. 

I was confused because I was expecting a specific object, not a photograph of an actual scene. Someone in the class got the word travel and that related to the bus. Could there have been an ocean nearby? Who knows. It was our first attempt at Remote Viewing. Next time I hope I will do better. The teacher said we had to be less serious and more playful about it all. 

As with anything, there is a learning curve with psychic abilities. I just have to roll with it and see how it goes.

Is fear the ultimate illusion?

Sometimes I wonder if I am mad to believe in angels, healing, intuition and all that jazz. Crazy to believe it and to act on it. To quit my job, thinking I could become a writer and an energy healer. But anything is possible when it is meant to be and when we work for it. 

The past week I've been having doubts. Sometimes it's like a bucket of cold water falling on me. I keep calling on Archangel Jophiel to lift my spirits and keep me forward-facing. Fear is an illusion we can do without. 

I am doing my best to stay grounded, move forward and have faith. And wouldn't it be nice if magic were real? Not in the Disney sort of way, but in a co-creator with the Universe way. Maybe its about seeing our fears for what they are - an illusion - and seeing life for what it can be.

Essential Oils for the Chakras

A friend gifted me a set of Chakra Essential Oils last week. I had never tried anything like it, and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. For starters, I don't know how to use them so I was wondering, what if I misuse or mess them up? As if that were possible. LOL

There is a separate oil for each chakra. I took a dab of the Brow Chakra oil and rubbed it on my palms. Also dabbed a bit on my forehead to try it out before giving myself Reiki on my Brow Chakra. 

As soon as I put my hands over my Brow, I started to feel a warm tingly sensation. My Brow Chakra activated very strongly. It was like having a Chakra massage. I can feel it now that I'm writing about it, though not as strongly. I can't say that my intuition, clairvoyance or analytical skills have shifted dramatically. But I did feel the energy very strongly.

Since then I have tried a few of the oils, but it was the Brow Chakra that reacted most strongly. Not in a bad way, though it's usually better to work with your lower Chakras first before moving up. I always start by grounding myself and clearing or protecting my Aura before turning my attention to a specific Chakra.

My First Remote Viewing Class!

Yesterday I had my first Remote Viewing class!  It was really cool. We didn't go into the full on protocol or the theory, just a practical exercise. We started with a meditation to open up and protect our energy.  At each step, the tutor affirmed that we are going to achieve our dreams and goals. You are safe, etc. Its good to hear that, especially when I am trying to boost my confidence :-)

Then we took out a blank piece of paper. On the top right corner we wrote our name, the date and our location. This grounds you in the moment and tells the universe what location you are reading from.  Time and space don't really exist the way we perceive them. That is why time flies when you have fun and it drags when you are bored. Also, thanks to Distant Healing and the nature of our energy and attention, its easy to know that you can be one in one spot physically, and somewhere else mentally. 

Next the teacher told us who we were going to read today: the classmate our left. I made a note of her name and then jotted down the time. Again, a marker that serves to situate us in time and space. 

The exercise was simple, unemotional and and easy. We turned our attention to the blank sheet and wrote the classmate's name with the word colors underneath. Then, with the tip of the pen placed firmly on her name I asked, "What are her favourite colours" ... The answer came in a visual, I saw a green and pink pen that I used to have (and loved). The words green and pink kept flashing. I asked if there was anything else and saw a sky in my mind. So I wrote light blue, only to have the word sky blue come to my mind. All along the feeling I got about the exercise was to "run with it." It didn't matter if I got these all wrong. It is just practice. That kept the jitters away.

We moved on to repeat the exercise, asking about their favorite fragrance. I heard the word Jasmine. Is that too obvious, I wondered? Just wrote it down. I, Regina, couldn't remember what Jasmine smelled like anyway so I didn't think I was projecting. Next!

We asked about the music they listened to and the first thing that came to mind was a huge violin. Classical music, loud and crashing. Then the words concerto. I wrote it down even though I thought it might be my imagination. I like classical and instrumental music and recently discovered Lindsey Sterling who I can only describe as inspired. Look up her Phantom of the Opera piece on Youtube.

Next we asked about their favorite foods. What they eat. I kept getting italian: spaghetti and meatballs, even the red and white checkered table cloth that is common in Italian tourist traps. The word buttery also came to mind. I wrote them down. We went on to ask about relationship status, if they had kids, what hobbies they would enjoy and what their dream holiday would be. 

When that was done, we we went through the answers. If it was correct, you put a checkmark. The fact that we got to verify our impressions  there and then was pretty amazing. Especially because we weren't asking emotional or private questions, which can be touchy. Most of us are happy to say, yes, orange is my favorite color and I do not smoke. Etc. 

So I got the colors, the dream holiday, the music, the fragrance, whether they had kids, and the marital status correct (mostly). I was wrong about her smoking. And when it came to food and hobbies, the results were odd. She strongly disliked meatballs and Italian food, though she had lived in Italy so the concept of italian food struck a chord with her.  I tapped into something but I am not sure what. 

Then, the hobby I saw was something she had been very interested in as a child but never pursued. So again, I might have tuned into the past or maybe I was just off. All in all, it was pretty cool. I am pleasantly surprised with Remote Viewing and with the experimental nature of the subject.  

Next week we are going to learn the remote viewing protocol in more detail. I felt less pressure than I do when I am giving a regular reading. Maybe I just need to trust what I get and put it out there.
