Neptune On My Blog

Before I started this Diary of a Psychic Healer blog, I had one called Walking With Your Guides that didn't last long. At the time I was reading a book on spirit guides and the name made sense. I was also enrolled in one of my first ever classes on spirit guides. After a few months I deleted that blog because I didn't like the name, and because I wanted to talk about energy healing, intuition, astrology and angels. 




I can't remember how I came up with the Diary of a Psychic Healer, but I liked the sound of it and the fact that it includes Energy Healing and Intuition - even though, I don't heal through psychic means. Energy Healing involves channeling energy from the universe and from the Earth, through the body and Chakras, to different aspects of our lives. Still, the the name was catchy and as I discovered yesterday, if I add up the letters, the numerology adds up to the number 7, which represents Neptune. 

Neptune is the planet of intuition, healing, mysticism, astral travel, and more. It rules the sign of Pisces. My astrology teacher used to tell us that the whole building had a Neptunian vibes because of the classes that were taught there. The funny thing is that I'm into all of these themes, as you can tell, but when I signed up for Kabbalistic Astrology class last Fall, Neptune was notoriously absent from the list of planets that are meant to be active in my life. It wasn't until we got to the numerology of names that it finally appeared - in part of my given name, and in the name that I dreamt up for this intuition and healing blog. 

I didn't do the exercise for Walking With Your Guides, but it could not have been better than Neptune. My guess is it might've been earthly, possibly Saturn or Mercury, which isn't bad, but I have enough Earth in my astrology chart. The other fun thing that I learned, is that together, my first and last name carry the energy of the Sun which was the other planet that had been "absent" from my Kabbalistic Astrology reading. Isn't it funny how our parents happen to choose the right name for us? I don't think it happens by chance either, it's a vibrational match.

Do Eclipses Really Influence Us, and How?

We have an eclipse coming up this weekend. The last year and a half I have been tracking the eclipses - looking at how they touch different points in my natal chart. In theory, this would tell us how a specific eclipse will influence our lives, and if it will influence us strongly. If an eclipse aspects one of our main planets, like the Sun, Moon or the Ascendant, expect a big one.   



There have been changes in my life over the past year, especially internal perspectives, but I don't feel those shifts corresponded to last year's eclipse themes. 

This is not to imply that eclipses don't matter. I have definitely seen and felt the impact of eclipses in my natal chart, specifically that of the  two eclipses that happened when I was still in the womb. The prenatal eclipses are meant to shape our mission in life, what we “teach by example.” I started looking into this six months ago when I stumbled across a book called Spiritual Astrology, by Jan Spiller

The theory is that the prenatal Solar Eclipse tells us the gift we have to share with the world (our mission), and the prenatal Lunar Eclipse is the gift or treat that that the universe has for us. What I loved about Spiller’s approach is that you can’t fail your mission, but whether you enjoy it or not depends on how self-aware you are. Do you set a good example or a bad one? 

But the real surprise was my Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Spiritual Astrology tells us that the Pisces gift is developing our intuition. It is a sensitive, intuitive sign that connects with the other realms. Well, looking at my blog and considering the fact that I used to be very skeptical about all of these intuitive things - I am making the most of it! 

This weekend's Solar Eclipse is in Piscis (2017) - it makes me wonder if it could be the one to connect with me on a personal level, as I am very engaged with Pisces activities. Stay tuned, eclipses play out over six months so I may be blogging for a while. Be sure to ground yourself as well, Pisces intuition is able to perceive it all! 

Also, Jan Spiller has another book that I really like: Astrology for the Soul. It looks at how we sabotage our happiness. Both of her books require a LOT of introspection, journaling and an open heart. 


Reiki hugs, 

Regina

How Many Chakras Do We Have?

I've been reading up on Atlantis and there isn't a whole lot that is based on fact. Rudolf Steiner has a book on Atlantis and Lemuria that I would love to read, particularly as it was written long before the current new age scene came about.

Diana Cooper's books are also quite interesting - I'm reading on the energy body now. The one thing that that stands out in my research so far is the Chakra system. Crystals also come up frequently as healing and tech tools. 

In Atlantean times, humans had 12 active Chakras compared to the 7 that we we have now (the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Brow and Crown). The additional five could be found along the same column of light in the Auric field. I mentioned one of these in my Chakra Healing book: The Earth Star. It is located in the ground beneath our feet and connects us to Mother Nature, including nature spirits, fairies and crystals. The literature tells us that humanity's consciousness fell, and it may have, though its also likely that when technology and large cities weren't so prevalent we were more aware. Think about how sitting in nature for a while will help you connect with yourself and be mindful. 

In my experience, activating the Earth Star gives us deeper foundations so we can then activate the rest of the Chakras: the 8th which is often referred to as the Higher Heart (in the sternum), as well as three further Chakras over the Crown which connect us to the spirit realms, to our solar system and to that elusive quality known as Oneness (the Unity Chakra). We learned about these in school a few years ago but I haven't worked with them so closely. (There are different schools of thought about how many there are). 

The meditations we did in school involve bringing light down from Heaven, to the Crown Chakra. That light also flows through the Unity, Soul Star and Causal Chakras on its way down to the Crown Chakra, and eventually we begin to access the knowledge and gifts that are related to those chakras, even if we are not entirely aware of it. 

This year my New Year's Resolution was to go back to the basics, completing a chakra meditation daily so that I could put the foundations in place before activating these outer-body-chakras. In all honesty - I tried to complete a 12 chakra meditation on January 1st but I had to stop because I began to feel dizzy. Since then I have gone on to connect with those Higher Octave Chakras only after balancing the 7 main Chakras in the physical body - and only connecting with one at a time. 

Six weeks later, it feels like there is a lot more light in my life so I would definitely recommend it! If you'd like to try a daily Chakra Meditation, here are some of my favourites from Youtube. If you'd like to meditate with a crystal in your hands that is also fantastic, just be sure to clear and program it first by following the suggestions in my book. 

When we are ready, we can move onto activating the 8-12th Chakras which apparently gives our intuition a mega boost, and makes it possible for us to channel some of the gifts that we humans have long forgotten. I will have to tell you about it as I explore this topic with meditations, because I haven't found too much information on it so far. Please get in touch if you have any book, video or webinar suggestions! I'm particularly interested in the link between Atlantis and Ancient Egypt, if there is one - if not then boohoo.

Here are some of my fave YouTube meditations:

Planets & Numerology with Dalia Siman


Last year I signed up for an amazing numerology and planets class. It was taught by Dalia Siman, a healer, numerologist, naam yogi, kabbalist and all-round fabulous teacher based in Mexico (dalsiman@gmail.com) Her class lasted seven weeks and it took me almost that long to wrap my head around the various topics and how they all come together.  

The Seven Traditional Planets: 

I'm an astrology geek so this is what drew me to the class in the first place. Dalia talked us through the numerology of our birth date and how the day, month and year can pinpoint the planets that are most influential in our personalities and lives. 

For example, I was born on a Wednesday, the day that is assigned to Mercury (the planet of communication, learning styles and other fun intellectual and self-expression pursuits). Mercury is the energy that radiates from my Heart, which is lovely, because Archangel Michael is also associated with Mercury on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and I've always felt like he is my angel - the angel of courage, because in all honesty, I often take convincing... =) 

The planet that rules my spirit is Venus, based on the year I was born, and a number of other planets are key players. The funny thing for me was that I have also studied my birth chart thoroughly, and the planets that came up using Dalia's numerology coincide with the planets that rule my Ascendant, Sun and Moon if I look at my natal chart (as well as planets that aspect my natal Sun). 

Using two completely different methodologies gave the same result. I also noticed that I have the same gaps - notably Jupiter who seems to be missing from my life (although its absence is also its presence, as I have been reading up on philosophy and spirituality for almost seventeen years - sigh). 

Practical Tools To Find Balance

For each of the planets that rule our life, Dalia told us how to identify whether we were leaning towards a healthy expression of its energy, or a stagnant expression. So for example, Mercury is a quick moving planet and when a person has lots of Mercury in their numerology, an unbalanced expression could be the inability to sit still. They might run from one place to the next, and eventually they run low on their supply of energy. If we look at Traditional Chinese Medicine, this over-activity can have a negative impact on our kidneys, which are said to regulate our personal bank of energy. I know of one Wednesday child who had kidney stones, and she fits the description above - is that a coincidence? 

For each of the planets, Dalia gave us yoga poses, mantras and physical exercises to balance the expression in our lives. I like this approach, and it fits well with some of the behavioural psychology that we find in Jan Spiller's astrology books (my fave when it comes to the planets & the zodiac). 

I mention this because Dalia also gives readings, and her approach is unique. Up until now I had come across angel, tarot and intuitive readings that often give similar points of view. Dalia's style is methodical and fact based and that makes it easier for us to put it to work in our lives. Drop her an email: dalsiman@gmail.com - highly recommended! 

Your Personal Pentagram 

One of the things that we learned was how we each have a planetary pentagram with points representing our spirit, our daily approach to life, your karma, destiny and our gifts. (I should also mention that Dalia is a student of the kabbalist Dr Joseph Michael Levry, who can be found at www.rootlight.com)

I won't go into the details so as not to overwhelm, but as I'm at a crossroads, I wanted to use tarot to ask what I can do to activate each of these energies. Today I used the pentagram as a layout for my personal reading and got these cards: 

The Wizards Tarot by Corrine Kenner 

Note: I chose Corrine Kenner's deck for this reading because the cards include references to Kabbalah. If you read her Astrology & Tarot book, you will find the Tree of Life - a wonderful resource! 




Top Card - Ace of Pentacles

This represents Venus in my pentagram, and the card that came up was the Ace of Pentacles. A new beginning that will bring security and lots of growth. It makes total sense as I am job/life hunting right now ;)

Top Left - The Seven of Wands: 

This placement represents the energy that we bring to our daily life. The Seven of Wands is about making an effort to push through and get what you want (it corresponds to Mars in Leo, which is all about using competition to shine). This is actually the card that represents the opposite of my Sun Sign, the traits that we don't draw on quite that often... 

Bottom Left - The Alchemist: 

This is what Karma teaches, and this card is about patience and not rushing it. The zodiac sign on the card, Sagittarius, is  also about long distance travel so it could mean working abroad or with foreigners here in Mexico. Either option would be fun for me =) 

Bottom Right - Page of Fire 

This is where we are headed; the card resonates with the planet Mars, for action and for taking steps forward. I see this as getting back into a bit of a pressure cooker and coming out alright with more ideas, leadership and a bit of character.

Top Right - The Sun

This is the gift from the Universe to help us out -. Here I pulled the Sun which is just wonderful. So right now I don't know exactly where I am going to end up (work or country wise) but wherever I go, it will be sunny and warm figuratively speaking. And it might be here in Mexico (hopefully). 



Middle Card - The Moon: 

The center card which speaks to the Heart in the pentagram I chose deliberately because today the Moon is in Cancer, and the card represents the Moon. The question was: what is going on and how will I arrive at my "heart's desires" and this series of cards was the reply. I quite like the result!


Of course, in class Dalia taught us how to use numerology to ascertain the planet that corresponds to each of these placements in our personal pentagram. We then use the numbers and mantras to activate the energy. It's pretty cool - see for yourself!

Reiki hugs,

Regina

How To Channel Crystalline Energy

The holidays are right around the corner and many of us are looking for gifts - below you will find a gem! One of my favorite things in the world are crystals and while I would love to have them all, that wouldn't be practical for obvious reasons. 

If a stone is hard to come by, we can channel its essence in energy meditations. I do this in most if not all energy healing sessions. My healing tutors suggested it - crystals were especially pricey London.

How To Channel Crystal Energy

  • Sit or stand with your feet on the floor and visualize pink or violet light around your body. Take a few deep breaths as that light shields your Aura.
  • Visualize tree roots going out of the bottom of your feet, into the ground. Feel those roots cutting through layers of dirt, rock and moisture as they go down into the Earth. Take a few deep breaths and let your intuition guide you. 
  • Your grounding roots wrap around a crystal at the center of the Earth - let your intuition bring it to life. With every breath you take, the crystal grows brighter. 
  • Draw that crystalline energy up your roots, through your Earth Star Chakra under your feet, through your legs. It goes up your abdomen to your Heart Chakra. Sit with this and let that crystal energy rinse your mind and body.  
  • Release excess energy into the ground and clear yourself with a shower of white light. Bring in your Aura so that it sits an arms length around your body. 
  • Keep your grounding roots in place, surround yourself with violet light and go about your day! 


In energy healing sessions, we go through a process of drawing up earth energy, attuning to Divine Light and then shielding ourselves and the client before beginning the healing session. With time this activates our sensibility, so that we perceive the flow of energy in the body and Aura. If you would like to know more, the steps to awaken your Inner Healer are in both of my books.  


We can then run Earth and Sky energies through the Chakra system, focusing on the Root Chakra to give us stronger foundations, the Sacral Chakra for emotional release and the Solar Plexus to boost our confidence. The Heart Chakra is about self-love and compassion. The upper Chakras will also need healing and we can move onto the Throat, Brow and Crown Chakras in future sessions. By working on the lower Chakras first, we strengthen our energetic vibration. 

Choosing Your Crystals

There are hundreds of crystals to choose from and countless books explaining their qualities, but my biggest find so far may be a set of crystal meditation cards. If you are still shopping for gifts, I can't recommend it enough. The Crystal Deck has 50 cards with stunning photos on the front and descriptions on the back; I got it at the cute yellow bookstore next to Notting Hill Gate Station. I like to look through the deck and meditate on the crystals I am drawn to, whether it is the color or the theme that grabbed my attention. 

We can also close our eyes and choose one at random, relying on the law of attraction. The results may surprise you - just this week we had an interactive reading on Facebook and I was surprised by the messages. To participate, choose a number from 1 to 7 and click here 




Both of my books go through the energy healing process in detail; Chakra Healing & Magick includes a section on crystals and how to connect with themVisit the Bookstore HERE to get your copy and feel free to reach out on social media with any questions 💕

Reiki hugs, 

Regina
