Intuitive Life Coach?

One of my classmates is a huge fan of Tony Robbins and last year she tried to get me to come along to one of his lectures. It was a joint session with Richard Branson. I couldn't make it but Branson was the main reason I wanted to go. For some reason Tony Robbins didn't ring a bell, I'd only ever seen him in Shallow Hal and I wasn't impressed! So earlier this week I was a bit intrigued when I saw an ad online for a "Learn to be a Life Coach" class offered by Tony Robbins. Clicked on the link and it was actually pretty cool! The past few weeks I've had this intuitive feeling tell me I'm still missing a skill that I'll need for my healing and readings practice in the future. Essentially what I want to learn is how to "talk" to people about their problems without confusing or shocking them. Telling clients exactly what I see can be a shock to their systems. I ascribe to the Socratic method, i.e. gently guide and probe with questi...

Decisive Moments!

It's been nearly two years since I launched this blog and enrolled in Healing School! We only have one class left this weekend and then we're practically done. What comes next: a few case studies, my last homework assignment, and a demonstration for the board. Eek! I'm so excited! Almost there!  At the same time, I've also been drifting away from this blog and Facebook.  Not surprising as I have lots to do. Add to that my current day job which I haven't managed to kick, though hopefully that will happen soon. Hoping for a new job or a career change? That is the question ... When I get impatient I tend to pull oracle cards and there are a few messages that I've been getting often: MAKE A DECISION AND STICK TO IT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF  YOU'RE A HEALER WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR WILL HAPPEN VERY SOON AND IT WILL BE WORTH WAITING FOR This is what I'm tasked with at the moment:  Please Join Me Below!

Finding Guidance in the Right Places

One of my guides was a psychologist in a past life. I only found out recently, when I was pondering my future and thinking it would be good to have someone to talk to about my life. Yes I have family and friends but some things are best said to a professional. The challenge with me is that so much of my life is now influenced by my healing, readings and intuition that I'm not sure what I could say to a living psychologist without them throwing me in a straight jacket. Yesterday for example, I had lunch with a friend and she brought along Doreen Virtue's new Angel Reading tarot cards. I told her about my misgivings with my current job, and this feeling that I want to change directions without knowing where I should go. I know where I want to go, healing and counseling, but should I play it safe for a few more years and stick with a conventional day job? She pulled three cards for me and we were shocked at how accurate they were: 1. Don't cry over spilled milk, yo...

When Science Meets Spirituality

I have been craving KFC all week and I keep telling myself not to get it. Today I started thinking that maybe I should just go for a bucket of crispy fried chicken, biscuits and mashed potatoes. What is driving this craving you might ask? I really think it's my inner child coming out to play. Last week we had a Soul Retrieval workshop at my healing school and I successfully re-integrated a piece of my 7 year old soul. When I was seven my favourite food in the world were the drumsticks at KFC.  I remember eating something like six pieces on one occasion. Colonel Sanders was one of my favourite people! Him and Ronald McDonalds were the coolest people on the planet. I did always wonder if Sanders had actually fought in a war or if all he did was sell chicken.   So what is a Soul Retrieval and why did my a fragment of my soul break off? I'm not entirely sure what happened in my case, but I do have a very clear memory of me wanting to be a scientist when I was that age. I thou...

Signs from Spirit

Yesterday I was getting ready for a meeting and didn't know what to wear. I had my dress picked out but was wondering about the shoes. First thought was black flats, to feel like myself. On a whim I pulled a pair of heels out of the closet and put them on. If someone had been around I would have asked for their advice. No such luck. The past few weeks I've had an image in my mind of me wearing heels and suits or dresses. I usually wear trousers and flats to work. The image kept coming back, and when I looked in the mirror I heard three loud knocks on my window. The wind telling me to go with the heels?  Call me crazy but I took it as a sign and left with the heels. They were brand new so I wished I'd taken a blister stick with me, still, no harm done. What really surprised me was that I felt more empowered and in charge during the session. I wasn't quite myself, some of the fears and hang ups were gone and I felt myself connecting to my higher self throughout. One o...

Home for the Holidays

I am home for the holidays visiting family and friends. Its been wonderful catching up with everyone and one of the nicest surprises was finding out that a couple of my friends are also into healing and other kinds of light working. Some of them have been into self healing for a while and I had no idea because in the year and a half that I've been studying healing, I hadn't mentioned it. Maybe I didn't think they would get it. I am glad to know my assumption was wrong. The experience reminds me of one of Doreen Virtue's Unicorn cards, the one that talks about how sharing thoughts, feelings and ideas brings us closer to others. If you don't open up and talk about whatever you're going through, you'll never know how others feel or if they empathise. And you would meet people never knowing that they are on the same path. Sharing brings people closer together and it also helps to establish that consciousness of one-ness that my classmates go on and on about....

The Gluten Free Craze

Have you ever gone on WebMD? I was just on there Googling a few symptoms of mine. Wish I hadn't, it would be so much better to visit an actual doctor and have them give an assessment. When I was done filling in a list of symptoms the calculator spit back about 3-4 conditions and diseases that I could potentially have, and what other condition those can link to. In the space of 3 minutes I read the words: celiac disease, anorexia nervosa (yeah right!), Diabetes 1, small intestinal cancer. Etc etc etc.  While I was reading it I had to tell my body that  "I am not having that!" The only explanation that made a bit of sense from a symptomatic point of view was the gluten intolerance. My little sister thinks she is gluten intolerant and I have had some of the symptoms for the past year or so. A couple weeks ago I asked my Guides to point me in the right direction. Will cut back on gluten for a week or two and see how it goes. I'm also up for affirmations to re...
