Blogging a Book on Energy Healing

The past few days I've been on holiday - Now I'm back and ready to go again! It is nice to take a break and regroup, otherwise we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life.  While I have been away I realised that I haven't been writing about healing as much as I'd like to. My new resolution will be to write about energy healing and spirituality rather than my personal reflections and adventures. Don't worry! I will still tell you what I'm working on and what my new interests are, but the focus will be to explore these topics in more depth and hopefully make it more engaging.  My roots are in philosophy so I like to spend time thinking about the possibilities, as well as writing about clinical experience.  These are the topics I want to explore in the coming months:   Why people get sick in the first place Approaching Healing as a Complementary Therapy What we can expect to achieve with healing Science vs Faith - and can we bring them t...

Living in Alignment

I went to a really cool lecture last night by Jan Janssen, a tutor with the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. The lecture was organised by the  Healing Forum  and it was supposed to be about chakra chords and ended up covering lots of non-chordy topics. One of my favorites was alignment and how you can practice it by surfing on public transport. Really! I write a lot about how important it is to be aligned with your higher purpose and with your higher self. Yesterday it was more about being energetically and physically aligned, and how that can help you be more in tune with life and with your intuition.  T he way Jan described it when you are aligned you're grounded to the earth, centered and connected to Spirit all in one go. Alignment and mindfulness combined lead to an increased state of awareness. =) On a physical level alignment is also about standing or sitting up straight so that the energy flow through the chakras is clear. In some of my healing sessions ...

Why is it so hard to quit smoking?

I asked this question on Facebook and got lots of great responses ( read them here ).   My initial thoughts on the topic are that we need to have a real reason to LIVE, be it someone or something that we want to stick around for. With good quality of life and lots of zest for living. I arrived at this conclusion because when a person smokes they extinguish the part of the body that regulates our life force. We can survive with out food, water, shelter for days but how long can you last without breathing? The smoke also clouds our ability to receive guidance and intuition from our angels. More to come on that later ....  I've spent a couple minutes thinking about why people might find it hard to quit - beyond the nicotine addiction and the habit:  Taking deep breaths is good for the body, the brain and the spirit. Smokers generally take deep breaths when they are smoking and  the body mistakes the benefits of air for a benefit of smoking . It makes them fe...

Falling into Place

Now that my healing school is over I am going back to my Angel Reading Classes in September. The past few months have been intense and turbulent with so much change, good change but still lots of change. The weekly angel classes really help me stay grounded and relaxed. The more I chill out the more enthusiastic I am about my plans. I've been reading up on my Mythic Tarot deck and that has actually helped put things in perspective.  The descriptions are about psychology as much as anything and I see myself in a lot of the concepts they describe.  The card that I am most drawn to is the Star, which is about hope in the face adversity.  The other card I've pulled recently is the Nine of Swords, which is about worrying about things that aren't really going to happen.  This weekend I'm going to take some time to relax with friends. I'm also going to start writing my book again. It took a lot of prodding to get me going but I've made the right move with my new ...

Grounding 101 - by Justin Luria

It's my pleasure to introduce a guest post by Justin Luria from Healing for Grounding ! Justin is a spiritual blogger and energy healer from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.  He does great work with sensitive souls, helping them feel welcome on the earth and safe in their bodies.  "A big thank you to Geena for giving me the space on her blog to let me write about what I love! :-) This is a post about grounding- what it is, why it's important, and (briefly) how to do it. First, a quick introduction. My name is Justin, and I write a blog called H ealing for Grounding . I'm not naturally a very grounded person; learning to ground has been a life-long challenge for me. So I approach this topic with patience, empathy, humour, and lots of experience :-). So. Grounding. If you're interested in New Age spirituality, you've probably heard that it's important to be grounded. If you're an energy healer, you might use the '...

Manifesting with "Our Father"

The past few months I've been asking for help with manifestation. I have a vision of what I want my life to look like but the question is how do I get there? I am also aware of blocks that need to go and I'd been asking for help with releasing those.  A few examples:   Self-doubt.  Can I really do this?  Fears about cash flow now that I'm starting my business.  I'm holding a grudge that I need to let go of.  Today I was walking home from work and The Lords Prayer popped into my mind. I was surprised because I haven't been a practicing Catholic for 10 years! Still I decided to go with it, after all, Jesus was a healer and a miracle worker. I sometimes ask for help in my healings and I'm drawn to building that connection again. Haven't felt it since I was seven. The prayer ran through my mind a couple times before I started paying attention. And then it just clicked. Th e combination of phrases is perfectly designed to set our intent, release...

What do I believe in? Good Question!

Yesterday someone asked me if I believed in Christ. Hmmm, what a loaded question! I do believe in Jesus. I've even asked for help in my healings, usually if there was an actual physical symptom or disease that I wanted to disapparate. It worked. It might be too much to bring him into every healing. It depends on what the client needs in the healing and what they are ready for.  Most of my clients so far have had Angels and Spirit Guides drop in during the healing sessions. The visitor will add to the healing energy and make it more powerful. So far I've only had Ascended Masters with one client, and it was because they were in the process of raising their vibration rapidly. Not because they were sick ....  So what is the difference between them, you might ask?  Ascended Masters + Deities  are Old Souls who have reached the end of their spiritual evolution, we tend to identify them by their most transcendental incarnation. You will have heard of many of these...
