Love, Luck, Joy and Abundance - Need More?

So, I’m a geek when it comes to meditation and a few weeks ago I discovered a channel on Youtube that is so cool, I have come back to it almost every day.

But first, let's rewind the clock to 2013 when I signed up for a creative writing class called the Tao of Writing, led by British author and healer, Steve Nobel. During his welcome speech, Steve mentioned having been the head of a healing center called Alternatives, in London. 

He had just left Alternatives and if I remember correctly, he was writing books and looking for his next move. Since then, Steve created a website called The Soul Matrix which is pretty awesome, full of resources for healers and spiritual explorers. 

A few weeks ago I came across his meditations. Steve calls them transmissions, as the point is to download energy to your physical body and Aura. Each of these is like going to an energy healer for a  full one hour session - amazing! 

They are fantastic (some are pretty out there in terms of the themes) and today I am sharing some of my favourites. I like to do the meditations lying down on a rug so that I don't fall asleep. I don’t share some of Steve’s beliefs, but I do enjoy the guided meditations. Below you'll find a list of my favourites, so far! 

Awaken Your Inner Magician

OK so I was clearly drawn to the title when I saw this one on YouTube. Add to that the fact that my latest book is about awakening your inner magician, psychic and Healer - I couldn't resist! This video in particular is a great complement for those of you who are still working your way through my Chakra Healing & Magick book (details here). 

Merlin & Ancient Egypt

These meditations are meant to connect us to the golden period in Atlantis - whether you believe it was an actual place that ceased to exist, or a myth that we can connect to if we want to learn about the potential humanity has for growth but also for decay. 

In the first guided meditation, Steve leads us on a journey to connect with a priesthood that is said to have been active in Atlantean times. In all fairness, I don’t know if I take the Atlantis stories literally, or as  a metaphor. In the second we connect with the Ancient Egyptian Mother Goddess to heal emotional pain from this life.

Connect With The Sun

We all love a day at the beach or summertime because it feels good to have the warmth of the Sun on our skin. It make you feel like you are on holidays even if its just one afternoon. That is what this meditation is like, to the millionth degree. Also, I am including this one because my Mom really liked it and she isn't the kind to do an hour long meditation. I think I might have come back to it twice too. A small warning: your pets might be frightened with this, mine hid under the bed the whole time. 

The Feminine Side of the Sun... 

Radiant Abundance/Love

This next one I loved, but I decided to leave it for last, as the other meditations helped me prepare for it: namely the Angelic Fire Meditation where we connect with several archangels and clear all of our 12 chakras, Great Central Sun transmission mentioned above and a fantastic one on Clearing and Healing Ancestral Lines that can help us release family karma, patterns and fears. The Ancestral Meditation was especially   powerful for me, but I think meditations resonate more when the shoe fits. (OK so I cheated and snuck in a few extra videos...)

Basically what this meditation does is clear and balance our relationship with what Steve Calls 3D structures like education, money, taboos, and anything that we think we 'should' do, so that we can move to a Heart Centered place of joy, while drawing on the Earth's energy for sustenance. It was a really lovely meditation and I felt my Heart Chakra open up with this one - I would really recommend it. Might do it again tomorrow as it feels fabulous... =)

An Affirmation To Unblock Your Spiritual Vision

Gabrielle Bernstein has an awesome affirmation that goes something like this: Let me see this (person or thing) for the first time. Technically it's from A Course in Miracles, because that's where Gabby got her start, but I stumbled across it while reading her new book: The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith. 

The message behind this affirmation is that when we see something or someone, we don't see them as they are, instead looking at them through the filter of our past, opening the door to prejudice, misunderstandings and even blindness.

Why Would One See The Past? 

So for example, if we went for lunch and were introduced to an athlete, instead of viewing that new acquaintance as someone in their own right, we may project the feelings that we had about the jocks at school onto to them, despite the fact that it has been 20 years. If I had a bad experience, I may not respond so nicely. If I was part of the team, that perceived connection may lead me to be warmer, etc. 

In either case, we respond to a new person based on the past, and not on what is happening in that moment. It's one of many filters that color the way we view the world and how we interact with others. It is a big stumbling block to overcome! 

It Also Blocks Our Learning...

As I am sure you have noticed - I love reading books, attending classes and learning new things. One of the biggest blocks to learning something new is actually thinking that you already know the answer - or an answer. That is why, when I attended my first Reiki class in 2013, I made a conscious decision to check everything I thought I knew about energy healing at the door. This made it possible for me to open up...

I try to do this in every class that I attend, telling myself that there are many ways of working,  practicing healing or accessing our intuition. But sometimes our blindness gets the best of us and we see things the old way. All this year I have been struggling to wrap my head around a concept that we learned in my Practical Kabbalah Class, and today it finally dawned on me that I was viewing the material through the lens of the books that I have read, and missing the mark completely. 

Ask To See The Big Picture

This Practical Kabbalah class is unrelated to the Kabbalah Centre of red string fame, where I also studied. Developed by Dr Joseph Michael Levry, we use numerology, the Tree of Life and astrology to map out the planets that are most influential in our soul's path. Our main planets are represented on a symbol with five points for Spirit, Air, Earth, Fire and Water. In the books I had read before, whenever someone drew this symbol it was  to infuse an object or a space with one of these four elements (or to remove it). Here, we draw the symbol to activate our personal planets. 

It may seem silly, but I couldn't understand why we were told to draw this symbol in one direction and not another. This question has been on my mind since November, and our teacher, Dalia, explained it to me twice in class. Very patiently too... Anyhow  it wasn't until this morning when I remembered Gabby's affirmation and asked to "see this for the first time" that I realised I wasn't working on clearing or activating an object, I was healing myself. The panorama changes and they way you draw the symbol does too. So yes, this was my super stubborn way of learning to see for first time; I'm glad it is done and I can get back to activating my planets!

Interested In Affirmations?

Affirmations are wonderful if we know to pay attention to the feeling that arises when we say them. Is the feeling aligned with the phrase you send out to the Universe??? I like to combine affirmations with colouring, mandalas, music and even Reiki, as laid out in my Chakra Healing & Magick book. It is funny because I feel I channeled my Higher Self into the book and I’m now using it to heal myself. Hope it helps you too! See link in bio or check out the bookstore, HERE.

Do Crystals Take On a Life Of Their Own?

There is a term in tarot where if you shuffle a deck and a card flies out, you automatically include it in the reading. These cards are referred to as jumpers and they're eager to be part of the message. It makes me smile when this happens. 

Today I had a jumping  crystal!

I was leading a beginners psychic development workshop where new students learned to activate their chakras and their intuition, before connecting with the angels. They all channel messages for their classmates. You can do this too by applying the tools in my Chakra Healing & Magick book, especially the meditations. 

So today, one of the students was talking about how she had seen a bright orange flash of light in her mind's eye during her meditation, along with the words Sacral. Coincidentally, the Sacral Chakra is orange, but I didn't mention this at first so as not to predispose them. The message she had received was about food and health... 

I intervened to say that yes, the Sacral Chakra was orange and that through it, we could heal food cravings, making it easier for us to eat healthily. It’s also said to facilitate healing of digestive disorders, while boosting our appetite for life. 

At that moment, I crossed my legs, and a large Orange Calcite wand came flying out of my pocket, landing on the floor with a LOUD THUD. I had been carrying it around for a few days (it's a new crystal) and I had forgotten about it. My poor students were startled by the noise, but I couldn't help laughing. 

I smiled and picked up the rogue crystal, explaining that Orange Calcite can be used to heal the Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras, both of which regulate the flow of energy in the digestive system, as well as cravings, passion, emotions and inner power. 

What a coincidence!  

The funny thing was that I held it in my hands before putting it back in my pocket, and guess what? It was positively shaking; I swear it took on a life of its own. This may have been my coolest classroom experience to date; I can't get over it! =) 

After class I went to a friend's house for lunch. Her daughter is seven or eight years old and we played with the crystals for a while there too. Children are so sensitive and the colors capture their imagination. My friend's daughter kept one to help her learn, which should make her exams easier. Kids respond well to crystal energy and I find that it helps to keep a few peaceful stones around the house.  

So that was my crazy crystal experience! If you'd like to learn to work with crystals, please turn to the crystal chapter in my Chakra Healing & Magick book {Amazon USA}. Learn to channel energy healing for self-love and empowerment. The book is also available in the UK, Canada, Spain, India, Mexico, Brasil and Australia. 

Update 2019: And this is me with a huge orange calcite that doesn't fit in my pocket, but it’s still great to meditate with. Just placing it on the table in front of me is more than enough to feel its happy vibes! Saw it in a store and I had to take it home LOL

An Experience of Angels in Reiki

A few years ago when I was still a student at the School of Intuition & Healing, I volunteered to receive healing from one of our teachers during class. As part of our training, we were taught to ask for permission to touch any part of the client's body (usually shoulders and feet), and the teacher included this in the demo. The rest of the session would involve healing and clearing my Aura and Chakras on an energetic level, without any physical touch. Moments later, I was shocked to feel a hand come down on my stomach. I thought it so odd that she touched me without giving me a warning, that I opened my eyes to see what was happening. To my surprise, her hand was a foot above my stomach - no touch - but I could still feel it on my skin. Our teacher asked if everything was OK and when explained myself, the class laughed at my confusion LOL

This week, I had a similar experience with angels!

A client booked a healing session, and I decided to give him a full Reiki session because he was very stressed. Standard Reiki sessions can last 60-90 minutes, and they involve moving through 18 hand positions so that every last cell in the body is directly infused with a bit of Reiki healing. Receiving a full session is just wonderful - if at times a bit slow for the Reiki practitioner as there is so much to cover. 

For the most part, I have been working intuitively, beginning the sessions with my hands on the client's shoulders where I can connect with their energy to get a sense of what they need, before moving from one place to the next based on my intuitive guidance. I hadn't followed the A,B,C's since I finished my Reiki Master training four years ago. For some reason, I felt this client would benefit from the full session. 

The angels had another plan...

I began at the shoulders as usual then moved to the back of his head, placing my hands over the Crown Chakra (Hand Position #1). My angels insisted that I go to the feet instead and ground him - grounding helps us release stress and often that will be my second port of call, during a healing session. They gave me the message by drawing my attention to his feet, they sent whispers, everything they could but I planted myself firmly where I was instead. Often I will stand on one side of the client's Aura during a session and ask the angels and guides that I work with to help me create a circle at the other end. 

I didn't ask them to stand at his feet but felt like they were there. This helps us create a lovely space healing space - if you happen to be working with another healer you can do it physically too. After 45 minutes I had gone through all the hand positions - top to bottom - grounding the client bit by bit. I ended the session with 15 minutes of pure grounding before going back to his shoulders to shield his energy field. 

Did the client notice????

When the session was done, I asked how he felt. He mentioned that at one point he felt my hands on his ankles, quite strongly, but that he opened his eyes and saw me standing behind his head. What had happened there????

I asked him when this happened - just as the session was starting. I couldn't keep myself from laughing and explained that often during a session I will stand on one side of the body, with Archangel Raphael at the other end. This time it wasn't a coordinated effort. However, the angels went to his feet because I was insistent on following the Reiki hand positions one by one. It always makes me smile when something like this happens because often, I have the feeling that I would need to be in two places at the same time and that just is not possible.

Share your thoughts below! =)

Let me know if you have had a similar experience - I believe it may be quite common. It is also a nice way to validate that angels and guides do exist. The experience had more significance for me given my reluctance to move to the feet from the beginning.

Reiki hugs, 

Regina
