Diary of a Psychic Healer

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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 . 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" ...

I have been practicing Energy Healing for a couple years, and people always ask me the same thing: Is it like Reiki?!?   To which I reply:   Similar but different!  This past weekend I finally signed up for a Reiki 1 class to see what it's all about. The session was interesting, we went through the history of Reiki, the hand positions used during sessions and some of the philosophy. Then the teacher had us meditate for nearly an hour while he went around the room attuning us to the energy, one by one. I had my eyes closed but it felt like he focused on my crown chakra and my palms. It makes sense, as the energy enters through the crown and exits via the palm chakras. When it was over, my hands were buzzing with energy and it felt like I was wearing oven mits.  Here are some observations on Reiki vs Energy Healing:  Reiki is universal life energy. The Reiki Healer channels that energy to their client, and the client self-heals. Interesting! Energy Healers ...

Last week I met with my healing supervisor to discuss my new book on Energy Healing and Cancer. The session was really helpful. Two weeks ago I finally got to the point where I needed a fresh pair of eyes to read it and give me feedback. So far I've sent it to six friends, colleagues and acquaintances. They have varying levels of experience with healing, ranging from full time healers to no knowledge of healing. The feedback has started to drip feed its way back to me, and it's encouraging! I'm pleased with the progress I've made since August, but there is still a lot left to do. The second half of the book needs to be rewritten, as I'd like to include a series of self-healing activities for the whole family. =) The scope of the project has changed dramatically as well. My 1st thoughts were to write an epic blog post on my family's experience with Cancer, and the sense I've made of it since I started practicing Energy Healing. It's been sixteen years...

Yesterday I had one of those moments when I felt like my head was going to cave in. It was only Friday and I had the whole weekend ahead of me, but I found myself thinking about a workshop I'm taking on Sunday, and then all of the things I need to catch up on when I am back at work on Monday. The weekend hadn't started, and I found myself fast forwarding to the next work week. I also wasn't breathing as deeply as I should have. This morning I grounded myself properly in Saturday mode. Put away my computer from work, my manuscript, my books on healing and I cleaned up my room. It looks nice, neat and clear. I'm off for a jog in the park, then I've got lunch and a Halloween party lined up this evening. Today is a day for complete relaxation and fun. Now that I'm working from home 2 days a week it is so important to make a clean break for the weekend. At least one full day off, and then back to class tomorrow for a little Reiki!  =) Please Join Me Below! B...
