Group Healing Night at London Spiritual Movement

I tried something new yesterday! The London Spiritual Movement organizes Group Healings and Socials every month. Last night I went to one of their events as a healing volunteer. The night was organized to support a local children's charity called Kids Company that "works with 17,000 vulnerable children in London, empowering those who have had enormous emotional challenges to lead positive and fulfilling lives." The evening started with a talk from a Kids Company representative, told us about a girl who lived on the streets throughout her teenage years, until they helped her reintegrate into society. The healing socials always run on a donation basis, and yesterday the proceeds went to Kids Company.

The actual healing session was a lot of fun to be a part of. There must have been about 60 people there to receive healing. They sat in the center of the room, in a long line of chairs that were laid out in spiral formation. The meeting organizer led us through an opening meditation, and then each of the healers made their way to a Healee. Each person get's a few minutes of healing. As a healer you go from one person to the next, without talking to them or saying much. There's not much room, so I would place my hands on their shoulders and work from there. If there was a little bit of room to move, I'd give healing to the heart, throat, brow or crown chakra (so upper body and head). Sometimes it was easy to kneel behind them and ground from the hips - without touching. Otherwise I'd ground them from the shoulders, and then place them in a bubble of protective light before moving on to the next person. 

Overall I enjoyed the evening. They played calming music with Indian chants in the background. The ceiling lights had a purple and white universe floating around the room. The ambience was cool, though the energy was a bit too much when I started out. After the opening meditation I started feeling awkward clutter in my upper body and on my left side. I think it was all of the energetic gunk from people around me. I drew my aura around me, and that helped. When you're aura's expanded it's easier to pick up on other people's energetic debris. Keeping my aura close and protected helped, and then I was able to get through the evening without a hitch. I think I'll go back in 2 weeks for the next event.

How Do Angels Help Us?

The past couple of days I have had a lot of great ideas for posts! A number of Facebook friends have asked questions about guardian angels: who they are, how angels can help, and if angels really do intervene on our behalf. Rather than answer on Facebook, I'm going to write a series of posts on angelic guidance and help. I'm still working through some of the ideas. Here is a sneak preview:
  • Do guardian angels fall asleep on the job? Otherwise, why do bad things happen to good people? I have a few thoughts on this, though I don't pretend to have all the answers. As a matter of fact, please share your thoughts and I'll debate it in the post. 
  • How can we make our guardian angel's job easier? How would one go about asking for help. Also pitfalls to avoid, as its relatively easy to ask them for help and then refuse it.
  • Can we enlist the angels as project managers in our daily life?  I could be so much more productive if I split my To Do list in half, and let the angels take care of a good chunk.  =)
Angels can be very helpful when it comes to guidance, protection and taking a load of our shoulders. We need to ask for help, and work with the angels to make it come about. It's about teamwork.

UPDATE! I recently published an article with OM Times Magazine: 7 Ways to Make your Guardian Angel's Job Easier!

Channeling Angel Messages

This will be a short post! Just to let you know that next month I will be giving 15 minute readings at my psychic school, on Open Night. Every term they pick a few students to give demonstration readings. It's supposed to be a lot of fun, I've never actually been. Looking forward to it though a bit nervous as well! 

The next few weeks I'm going to be channeling One Free Angel Reading almost everyday from my Facebook Page. It will help me practice channeling, so that I'll be confident enough to give a reading on the spot. With no angel cards, no iPod tarot, no buffer LOL.  I'd like to start doing this more often to get into the flow. It will also be fun to see what comes up in all of these readings! We did 15 minute readings in class last week and I really enjoyed it. 

I will post them when I'm home from work and from the gym, usually around 9 or 10 pm London time. Keep an eye out for the update on my Facebook Page inviting people to ask questions. In a couple weeks time I might even give away a few Skype readings. 

Stay Tuned!

Running for Answers

The past couple of days I have been guided to take up running, but I was ignoring the clues. The idea first popped into my mind when I reluctantly decided to sign up for the gym again. I love spending time outdoors, usually walking, but going to the gym is better exercise and I miss it. I was pondering on this, when the thought "you could run" popped into my mind. Yeah right! These days I won't run unless a dog is chasing me. To think that I ran track in high school. Today I went for a power walk after work, and pushed myself to run for about 10-15 minutes. It was much cooler than I thought it would be, especially in the cold. Apparently, it can be freezing outside but when you run you don't feel it. 

It was a beautiful night for a jog. I can't tell if the moon is waxing or waning, but it shone very brightly over London. It's also just dawned on me that tomorrow is Halloween! The moon was framed by the spookiest grey clouds. Looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie, especially with all of London's old buildings. Sometimes I think I live in a cartoon town, it all looks so well put together. At one point I was running and all I could see was the sky and the moon. I think it also helps your mind disconnect from the day. Or maybe I'm so out of shape that my brain can't run and think at the same time. We'll see how I do tomorrow! I'm not going to push myself too much though. Just enough that I still enjoy it. 

When I was in one of my runs, I thought about a card that I keep pulling the past few weeks. It's the Justice card from Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot. In it we see an angel with a sword, between two large pillars. It looks like he's going to swoop in and chop someone's head off. I have no idea what it means for me, and I'd like to know. It might have something to do with my next steps. Twice this week I've had someone pull a card for me that said "Focus on Service, how you can help others." Maybe I'm supposed to serve in some way that is connected to justice or the legal system? Don't know what it means. 

Any thoughts?

Today is one of those days!

Thought I'd pop in to say hello! Today is a work-on-my-book day, and then tomorrow I go back to the office day-job. I'm about half way through my part time transition out of a day job. I'm a little bit tired of juggling the two. Still getting stressed out at work, and some of the things I have to follow up don't fit into three days so neatly. 

This should hopefully be the last complicated week. One of my projects should finish in the next couple of days. Then I won't need to log on as often. At the moment I've been chasing people on email even on my days off and it's increasingly hard to focus. This morning I woke up stressing about a  product artwork we need to sign off. I'm supposed to be working on my book, but went for a jog 1st to get the day job out of my mind. Hopefully I can keep a clean mental break for the rest of the day. The book needs attention!

What else? I think it's time I went back to the gym. I cancelled my membership 2 months ago thinking I should save on this, as I'm cutting back my hours at work. Now I've realized I need it for my sanity. Going to the gym helps as well; it's when I get my good business ideas. Yesterday I went for a run in the park and came up with a really cool idea that combines past life readings and fiction! I might write about that tomorrow, so stay tuned for news!

Before I start doing creative readings, I need to finish revising my book. Feels like I'm almost there, but the last few edits are tougher than I anticipated. At the moment I'm working on the Self-Healing Techniques, and going into more detail on how friends and family can participate in the healing process.

Is Energy Healing a Placebo?


One of the questions that comes up often is whether people need to believe in healing for it to have a positive effect. If that were the case, it would be very easy to classify Energy Healing as a placebo. The answer is no, but it helps if they are willing to consider the possibility that it might work. It's hard to heal someone who outright rejects it. 

Skeptical clients give the healer just enough leeway. A client has to be willing to accept healing, whether or not they believe it actually works. On some level they will benefit, even if it's not apparent in the first instance. The healing might not be physical, so its important to be clear about expectations. 

The goal of healing is not to cure physical symptoms. I recently read a few posts on a science blog called Science Based Medicine. It was created by a group of doctors who spend their time debunking complementary therapies like healing, acupuncture and natural remedies. The often use phrases like "an elaborate placebo" when they talk about energy healing. I think the disconnect lies with the outcome we each want to achieve. Doctors work with the physical body and their main objective is to manage symptoms and treat diseases. Their work requires extensive skill and expertise, though it can be one dimensional if we think of the mind-body-spirit as three aspects in an individual's life. 

Energy Healing is said to work on four levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. There isn't a priority when it comes to energy healing, so the change may happen on any of these. One of the things I like about energy healing, is that it can involve asking what the illness means symbolically. What can they learn from the illness? The physical symptom will give us a clue about what that lesson is. 

Let's illustrate the point with the example of diabetes in a client. The healer's goal is not to cure or manage diabetes, they should be seeing a doctor for this. The energy healer will think about what diabetes means in the client's life. How are  the pancreas and the heart affected on an emotional level? They might have trouble balancing their career ambitions with their personal life. When we have a loving personal relationships, life is sweet. If that natural sweetness is consistently denied, a person might overcompensate with sugary foods that push their insulin level through the roof. Energy Healing addresses that internal clash between happiness, and ego driven ambition. Through the healing, the client might see their life in a new light. This facilitates the healing process, though it may not have an effect on the body. People who want to classify energy healing as a placebo are only looking at one aspect of human existence: the physical level. 

I am not sure how you would even go about measuring mental, emotional or spiritual healing. Psychologists have practice with the mental and emotional side. Would it be possible to quantify the effect on the energy body; for example, how would you document an aura or a chakra clearing? And if you capture the energy flow on film, say with photography, what does that mean for the person's biology? I find all of this fascinating. Individual clients may report sensations during a healing session, but what actually happens to their energy? 


Update! I'm pleased to share that in 2020 I found  more answers - have a look at this post on The Science Behind Energy Healing

Thanks for reading the blog,
