Diary of a Psychic Healer

This is an excerpt from A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer and Love  ( Part I here ) . T he book is an energy healing and meditation guide for families who are dealing with cancer.     Introduction   When I started writing this book my intent was to create an Energy Healing guide for cancer patients. The idea was to share my family’s experience – how it changed our lives and the perspective I have gained since then through my own healing journey. I also wanted to give others a chance to apply some of the techniques through my energy healing studies, and to share my thoughts on cancer. Since then, this project has evolved into much more, no doubt thanks to my background in philosophy which means I enjoy asking questions. The first half of the book explores the question “Why do people get sick?” from biological and spiritual points of view. I cover a variety of factors ranging from diet, genetics and lifestyle to emotional and mental patterns that m...

They expected to go back together for the results three days later. But the surgeon rang my mother the next morning and told her to come around by herself. It was dreadful news. Though the surgery had removed the tumor completely, there was a new one in a different part of his brain. It was too soon after the surgery to operate again and even if it were possible, we could expect more to come. There was nothing he could do about it. Dad’s case was terminal. My mom called that evening to soften the blow before giving us the full news a few days later. It was a real shock. After four years and nine months we had reached the end of the line. We were in a state of disbelief and my dad, for one, nev...

T he book is an energy healing and meditation guide for families who are dealing with cancer.     ~ ~ ~  My uncle rang from the hospital to let us know what was happening that night. Something about a CAT scan. The word was familiar because I had heard it on the television show, ER. He promised to call when there was news. It was just after midnight when the phone rang again. All I remember was my mom crying when she heard the news. Dad had a malignant brain tumor. It was big – roughly the size of an orange. Were it not for the trip to the hospital, Dad might not have made it through the weekend. Looking back on it, we were extremely lucky that he stayed behind that December. One of the country’s top neurosurgeons worked at the local hospital. Dad was prepped for surgery that week. I do not know what would have happened if they had discovered the tumor in a ski r...

This is an excerpt from A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer and Love  ( Available Here ) . The book is an energy healing and meditation guide for families who are dealing with cancer. The techniques in the book are complementary to medical care.  Preface Although I did not know it at the time, the winter of 1996 would change my life forever. My family lived in La Jolla, California. I was 16 and had just returned home after a year in boarding school. La Jolla was a beautiful place full of sunshine, weekends at the beach and tennis clubs. My brother was back from a year in military school and our younger sisters were both in elementary school. On the surface everything looked the same but life was slowly starting to change. Our dad traveled for work regularly and we were used to seeing him on weekends. His work was winding down and though he had more time to spend with us, he never seemed to have the energy for it. In the space of a year he had gone from being...

It is time for something new! The past year or so I have been giving angel readings on Facebook. It has been great fun and the forum has helped me build my confidence when it comes to intuition. I think its time to let others practice as well, so I will soon be piloting  an  Angel Intuitive Practice Thread.  The  idea is for budding intuitives, mediums, and angel card readers (like myself!) to practice. When I first started giving readings online, I was not sure how accurate they would be. You would be surprised.  Its easy to get in the zone, this works for me:  Opening Up Meditation. Any information that comes through, arrives through our Chakras. Especially the Heart and Brow Chakra in my case. I start by sitting down with my eyes closed. I visualize a big tree at my back. Its roots go deep into the earth and they keep me rooted in my place. Still conscious of the tree's deep roots, I allow my mind's eye to trace it all the way up. Its...

Yesterday I was sitting home alone, at my mom's house, watching The Dark Knight when the earth started shaking. Like really shaking. I had never been in Mexico City during an earth quake. It was really strong, especially now that my mom moved into a very tall apartment building. Yikes! As a kid in California we had lots of drills at school. Drop on your knees, cover your head and neck and crawl under the nearest desk. Well, my mom doesn't have any desks except for a glass writing table.  It took me a couple seconds to realize that yes it was a quake, and I should probably get off the couch. The Jokers voice still playing in the background, I wracked my brain, thinking where to go. This isn't the house where I grew up and I still don't know where things are. All the while I was conscious that we are on the third floor of a twenty story building. With glass panes all around though thankfully none of them cracked. Though the building really creaked and shook. ...

At the end of April I spent a couple days in bed. I hurt my back and it was really painful to walk, sit or stand. I went to the doctor and they gave me pain killers only. I was totally out of commission for three days, after a week I could walk and sit normally, and after two weeks I was back to normal. Though I haven't really made much of an effort to work out, walk, or go to the gym since then. Two months, now.  Not surprising, I gained a couple pounds though I am not sure that anyone else notices. I'm lucky to be really really tall, so if its plus or minus five pounds, no one notices except for myself. But my clothes are a bit tighter than they used to be.  Last month I bought a new pair of skinny jeans, size 28 instead of my usual 27. Just one size, but a couple years ago that would have driven me up the wall. Today, I could care less.  I will go back a 27 when I go back to a 27. The sharp back pain, followed by no back pain, made me realise that the only thing ...
