Diary of a Psychic Healer

I am reading a new book called Ascension Magic by Christopher Penzack. He also wrote Magical Reiki, my favorite Reiki book so far. I like to consider myself a healer and know next to nothing about Ascension or why it matters. The impression I have so far is that some people may want to ascend their way out of the pain and suffering experienced on Earth. Fair enough ...  Buddha, Mother Mary and other spiritual figures are said to have ascended. Same is true for all of the Ascended Masters. The very word implies an upwards motion, but my gut feeling is that in my case, I will "ascend" by grounding myself. Spirituality doesn't have to be about escapism. On some level, that is what Christianity promises: behave, and whatever you are missing now will be rewarded later. Though of course, it also encourages us to do good now.   So what is grounding ?  For me, it is deciding to live in the present moment, on earth, not thinking about the future or holding out for a bette...

A couple weeks ago I went to Mexico City's basilica. It always strikes me how fervent Mexico is when it comes to asking Mother Mary for miracles. The basilica is built on the site of the Lady of Guadalupe's apparition to Juan Diego, an indigenous peasant who was probably the first Mexican saint (according to the church, I am sure there were plenty of spiritual people in pre-Colombian Latin America). I wonder if asking for miracles is a Catholic,  Latin or a human thing. People pray for miracles when they feel powerless to exert any influence over their life. I would like to think of us as co-creators when it comes to shaping our lives and attracting happy coincidences, miracles and the like. This year I started reading A Course in Miracles on January 1st, a step by step guide to conditioning your mind so that you can see love instead of fear. So far, so good.  It would be wonderful to work miracles ourselves, but I don't think we can (or need to) do it alo...

Most weekends I organise an Interactive Reading on my Facebook Page. This week I used Astrology Cards for each of the Chakras. We can stimulate our Chakras by connecting with their corresponding planet in meditation. I've been doing it with the Solar Plexus and Jupiter, as they both relate to self-confidence, belief and willingness to take flight. Works like a charm! Choose one of the following Chakras and scroll down to read more!  BASE - SACRAL - SOLAR PLEXUS   HEART - THROAT - BROW - CROWN  Base Chakra (Vitality)  Located at the base of the spine, the Root Chakra connects us with the Earth. It regulates the flow of energy at our disposal for physical and material pursuits. We can turn to the planet Mars for help healing this bright red Chakra. Mars gets a bad rap as the aggressor in the zodiac but it can also help us with physical endurance, energy, vitality and resilience. I personally like to connect with Mother Earth and with ...
