Healing the Soul and Spirit

I have been practicing energy healing since 2010 and it has helped me tremendously. The main benefits have been stress relief as we clear the Aura and release thoughts, beliefs, regrets and experiences that weigh us down. It wasn't until seven months ago that I signed up for a Holy Fire® Reiki class that I started to feel like a kite that was grounded on planet earth, and somehow flying higher and higher at the same time. I’ve come to value its impact on my personal growth more than anything else; how Usui Holy Fire® Reiki brings us into direct contact with our Spirit so that we can see where it takes us 🚀🚀🚀

If you’re new to my blog, Reiki is a self-healing technique with Japanese roots. Rei translates as universal energy, divine love and intelligence. Ki refers to the energy in our bodies and how our energy levels are on a daily basis. We can meditate with Reiki energy to activate our inner guidance.

Your Soul & Spirit 

Rather than focus on the physical body, let's take a step back and think about the mind, the soul and the spirit. When we meditate with Holy Fire® Reiki we receive a boost on all of those levels. In my experience, this is what mystical experiences are about. The spiritual boost is where I have found the greatest benefits to practicing Reiki and meditation in my daily life. 

Developed by William Lee Rand, the Usui Holy Fire ® Reiki curriculum defines the Soul as the part of ourselves that has lived many lives. Some of those lives have been easier than others. In every life we tend to have have happiness, love and positive growth experiences, but also difficulties and sometimes traumatic events. We might not be aware of our Soul, but if you visualize it like a large cloud, it might be white, fluffy and breezy. Or dark, rainy and heavy. One of the purposes of self-healing is to clear the soul so that it can fly. 

Then far above that is our Spirit, all it does is grow. Your spirit is pure light, it is also the part of us that has mystical experiences. The happier and healthier the Soul and personality, the more your Spirit is able to soar. In the Holy Fire® Reiki class we learned that the Spirit has infinite growth potential because it is the part of us that is one with the Universe, and that taps into God's love, wisdom and power directly. In a recent Reiki meditation I heard a whisper referring to my Spirit as my Infinite Self because of its endless potential for personal growth, love and happiness. 

That is me flying in the picture!

Usui Holy Fire® Reiki Classes 

The Usui Holy Fire® Reiki Level 1 and 2 classes instill Reiki in the Soul, where it trickles down to our mind and body. The Reiki Master class sends it all the way to your Spirit. I'd been practicing other types of Reiki for seven years (Usui and Usui Tibetan, which I loved), but I didn't feel the turbo-boost until this Holy Fire® Reiki class. In my case, it has gone to my spirit and personality. 

The difference is how the student receives Reiki. In traditional Reiki classes it is through the teacher, and in Holy Fire® it comes down directly from above. Both are brilliant and underneath it all, I believe that we each are guided to the class that will help us at that stage in our lives. Usui, Usui-Tibetan, Holy Fire® and Karuna Reiki® have helped me tremendously on so many levels. 

Do It Yourself 

There are plenty of ways to access that part of your self. If you would like to know more, by all means sign up for a Reiki class. And have a look at my books on personal growth and spiritual development! The healing techniques can be carried out with a Reiki 1 class or by following the steps in the energy healing chapters.

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description??? 

 

That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived. 

We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition. The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc. 

When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what we'd seen and the person would say YES to anything that was accurate. I went first and maybe a 1/3rd of the things I saw turned out to be right. The funny thing is I saw flashes of places I had been in real life - not the classmate's place specifically - but when I described my aunt's back yard and the view from her kitchen window, it matched his. I was able to say how many bedrooms they had, how the guest room was decorated, colors of the couch and where they had the violin (his wife, the teacher that day, was a musician though she hadn't told us what instrument she played). 

I was happy with what I saw but chalked a lot of it up to chance. Then my classmate started to describe the place where I lived. He was the teacher's husband and had been going to her workshops for years - everything he described was accurate. It blew me away. I had just moved to London, moved into a flat in a huge building with more than 900 apartments. He described the number of entrances to the building, how many stairs. Where the concierge was, and roughly how many doors I had to walk by to get to my place (more than 28). He told me what the neighbors cooked, which smells made it into the hallway and which ones annoyed me. 

When he described the apartment itself, he saw a one-bedroom apartment with no paintings on the wall. He told me what color the towels were in the bathroom, the color of the duvet on my bed and that I had a humongous closet - only a 1/3 full of clothes. He saw accurately that I didn't cook and had never turned on the oven (I didn't use it once the year that I lived there). The apartment was still bare as I had only been living in London a few months and it was a furnished flat with few decorations of my own. I was floored by his description; he didn't say anything that wasn't true. 

When this was over our teacher had us come back to the circle and list three things that we perceived accurately. I was relieved to name ten; she laughed because I was describing her house. Every student in the class was able to name five or more things, and she told us it was because we had begun the day with an hour-long energy meditation to quiet the mind and relax into our energy fields. The rest of the weekend was crazy; we went through dozens of exercises to work with clairvoyance but also the senses of touch, taste, feeling, hearing and just knowing. 

The teacher was visiting from Helsinki and I never saw her again, but I’ve followed her advice down to the letter. First - trust what comes to you intuitively and describe exactly what you see or feel. If we interpret what we see without describing it, we risk missing the mark and the person might have recognized that image. Second - we can all go on an 8-hour workshop and do amazing things. But if we want to access our intuition regularly, meditation has to become a daily practice. Our intuition speaks through the Aura and Chakras; we need to build those muscles slowly. I was so tired after this first class that I could barely make it to work for a week. 

Always ground, clear and shield your personal energy before connecting with Divine Light to make sure that any messages come from Source - whether we call it God, the Universe or Love. My psychic school was in central London and I loved that the diversity of the students kept the vocabulary from following any one religion. We all connect with the same light to activate our sixth sense. It didn't matter if you were Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, atheist or a lapsed Catholic like myself. It was not about belief (other than in yourself) - because the proof was in the pudding. The visual was accurate or it wasn't; with time we would get better at clearing our energy and receiving visual messages. We also explored other clairs, not just clairvoyance. 

Later that year I signed up for weekly psychic development classes, and I started this blog in September 2010. These tools have taken energy healing to another level.

The Mechanics of Forgiveness

A lot has been written on forgiveness and why it is so important to let go of grievances; it’s one of the steps on the road to peace. But it is not the first step nor the most important. Think of a person who has been hurt or betrayed by an ex, a close friend or by a terrible loss. How can one expect to forgive if one still feels hurt? Yesterday I sat and meditated in a beautiful church called Mary Star of the Sea, where I had the most amazing insights on this question... 

The short answer: we can't forgive if we are still hurting. Based on my experiences with energy healing over the past ten years, the first step is to become aware of our emotional pain and let it be what it is. Accept the fact that you feel angry or hurt. 

If this emotion is the result of an abusive relationship, please get help and find a safe way out - but if it stems from the past, give yourself time and space to let those feelings come to the surface so that you can heal them. Therapy works wonders, and we can also try energy healing at home!


Three Steps to Forgiveness:  

1) Begin by grounding, clearing and shielding your personal energy before attuning to divine light. The steps can be found in both of my healing books. You'll find a basic chakra meditation HERE. 

2) Once you are ready to start channeling the energy of love and compassion through your physical body and Aura, visualize the part of yourself that feels hurt. Let a soft white, violet or pink light stream through you, sending any excess healing energies into the ground. No pressure to heal quickly or to experience forgiveness - just give that part of yourself lots of love. 

3) We then end the visualization by running gold light through our body and Aura, letting it fill all of the spaces that might have been cleared by the healing energy that we have just channeled. Always end by grounding and shielding your personal space (Aura). 


This approach acknowledges that a part of your psyche may be in an emotional or energetic ICU. With care and self-healing, it will come through stronger and more resilient. When that part of yourself is ready to emerge, the bruises will have faded; And instead of forgiving rationally because the mind tells you that letting go brings peace, it will come about naturally. 

Learn To Heal Yourself

Both of my books guide us through the process. If you are interested in forgiveness from a wellness point of view, I would suggest my first book, A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love. It looks at energy healing as a complementary therapy for cancer patients though it is also useful in other situations. 

The healing tools are meant to help us channel our emotions, including stress, making it useful for the whole family. It is based on my family's experience with cancer. Available below:

Chakra Healing & Magick  

If you would like to try a creative approach to self healing, Chakra Healing & Magick is probably the best fit. Chapter 5 guides us through the energy healing steps required to balance and heal our chakras, or to send healing to specific themes in our lives. It also look at art-based healing techniques and crystal healing. My go-to stones for emotional peace and healing are rose quartz, rhodonite and lapis lazuli.

Please give yourself a chance to run the energy of love, compassion and forgiveness through your body. Even if we feel that we have nothing to let go of, memories will come to the surface, often from childhood and young adult years. It is often the little things that leave energetic imprints, but they fade away just as quickly when we finally decide to dust ourselves off.

Yesterday I Sent Reiki to the Eclipse (Fright of my Life 😅)

Yesterday we had an eclipse in Capricorn, which also happens to be my natal moon sign. So I sat down and thought I would draw a Reiki bridge to the Eclipse to download its energy to my life. Not the best idea in hindsight, but it was an experience. 

So what is a Reiki Bridge??? Reiki is a self-healing and relaxation technique that developed in Japan 100 years ago. We can use it to meditate, to send healing to others, or to heal our lives. 


When Reiki practitioners want to set an intention for a healing session, we draw Japanese kanji (letters) on our hands or in the air in front of us. There are just a few Reiki symbols included in the system, and one of these creates an energy bridge to another location, time or person. This is my favorite Reiki symbol because it gives Reiki so many uses. We can use it to send healing to a difficult experience in the past, or to do well in the future. We can send healing to someone that is going into surgery. It doesn't matter from how far away, you can even send Reiki to the Moon! 

This is what I did, about 6 hours after the Eclipse. It was late at night and I remembered that ages ago, I suggested one of my Facebook friends build a Reiki bridge to the Moon each night to see how the Moon's energy shifts as it waxes and wanes, and as it moves through the twelve zodiac signs. The Water signs are my favorites; I am a big fan of Scorpio because it gives us courage to look inwards and transform ourselves. All of the Signs have gifts. We can download the Zodiac's energy in meditation by connecting with the Moon, integrating those qualities.  

Last night my goal was to make the most of the Full Moon and Eclipse, letting go of whatever needs to go so that I can move on with my life. The image that came to mind for this eclipse in Capricorn was of Base Camp at Mount Everest, and unpacking deadweight before heading to the Summit. 

In meditations I often use a mountain trek as a symbol for Capricorn because this resilient sign has the patience and diligence to put one foot in front of the other and eventually reach the top. 

I sat down to meditate, drew the Reiki bridge in front of me and started to feel the Eclipse's energy (I am now wishing I hadn't). It was reallyyyy reallyyyyy intense, which surprised me, because my psychic sensitivity pretty much disappeared 48 hours before the eclipse and I thought it wouldn't come back for a few more days. When I started to feel a rush of energy through my Aura, I asked for the Sun, Moon and Eclipse to clear away fear, unhealthy attachments and karmic ties. 

About 5 minutes later, the building started shaking - at first it felt like a humongous bird had slammed into the wall. But no, it was a 2.9 earthquake with its epicenter 16 kilometers away (10 miles); it was the fright of my life though luckily the Reiki Quake only lasted a fraction of a second. It freaked me out and I didn't fall asleep for hours after that. We have had several mini quakes this week in that radius, but the timing on this one shook me up. 

When I finally fell asleep I couldn't help thinking how fear has become an everyday part of life in Mexico because of crime and how these ongoing quakes add to the sense of nervousness. Though maybe, they are meant to wake us up and not shake us up (saw that on Instagram). 

Reiki hugs,
