Diary of a Psychic Healer

Detoxes are in vogue these days. I myself tried to go an entire month without sugar this January and lasted a whole 21 days! While there are enormous benefits to passing on sugar, my gut feeling is that the best detox we can give our body is to drink plenty of water, day in and day out. It flushes out toxins and keeps us well hydrated. Clean water is something to be incredibly grateful for, even though most of us in the developed world probably take it for granted. That may change in a few decades if we don't take better care of our planet.  Water is also vital for those of us who practice Reiki, Intuitive Readings or Energy Healing. According to the psychic development blog, A State of Mind , intuitive energies travel through the physical body, using our water reserves as a conduit. That's why it's even more important for healers to drink lots of water, it keeps us fresh and ready to take on new case studies!  This is one way to look at it: drink water to replenish yo...

In Greek mythology, Chiron is the Immortal Healer, unable to heal his own wounds, though he does heal others. He is often associated with the King of Cups, someone who is great at helping others but unable to help himself. A lot of us get into healing because we start out healing ourselves, and then move onto sharing that knowledge with others. Whereas the myth says that Chiron is unable to heal himself, I don't believe that to be true for us. The theory is that if we find the placement of the asteroid Chiron in our birth charts, we can figure out where our soul bears the deepest past life wounds. Any efforts to heal that aspect will have the biggest pay-out.  Again, the Chiron myth tells us that this scar will be with us through life, but my intuition tells me that we can heal and release it with water, especially if that water is charged with the intention to clear and heal the soul. Running water is gentle, but with time, it is powerful enough to carve out canyons and wear down ...

Years ago, I walked into a supermarket in search of Bach Flowers. I knew very little, only that there were remedies for different mental and emotional states, for example; anxiety,  jealousy, self-doubt, undue optimism or even arrogance. Going by the descriptions, I chose the ones that sounded like me. Since then I've discovered that my choice of remedies corresponds to the  more influential signs in my birth chart: Moon in Capricorn,  North Node in 4th House, Past and Present Life Suns in Aquarius (maybe I flunked and got a do-over?)  Apparently, we can use our birth charts to narrow down the range of Bach Flowers, making the selection process easier. We can then leverage the healing qualities in the flowers to soften our limitations and unlock our strengths, which often coincide with our star signs.   Bach’s original remedies were just 12, he called them the  The Twelve Healers. Bach hypothesized that they corresponded to the Moon Sign in our...

Last year I booked a session with a flower healer in Mexico, hoping to ground my energy and cool my nerves. I had just landed a gig as a weekly radio host with  A1R Psychic Radio , and truth be told, I was terrified about giving angel and tarot readings on air. What if I froze and couldn't say anything? In any other setting, it wouldn't matter if the messages took a minute or two.  I cringed at the thought of radio silence. So I went to my favorite Flower Healer and asked her to give me liquid courage and clarity. Her consultation room is small but gorgeous. A glass desk full of angels, buddhas and flowers.  Behind her, a bookcase filled with hundreds of flower essences: Bach Flowers , Australian Bush Flowers and a few Planetary Elixirs.  Suddenly, I wasn't all that nervous and spent most of the hour asking about flower remedies and vibrational healing.  This is what I learned:  When Edward Bach created his flower essences in the 1930's, ...

Time and time again I have booked a healing session to soothe my nerves, only to receive the same intuitive message from the practitioner: Take Your Bach Flowers! It's like my spirit guides are pulling my ears for neglecting myself that way. Flower essences are part of a system known as vibrational healing, where we draw on the peace and love frequencies in the plant kingdom to balance our own energy. We can use them to cope with stressful situations or to heal our emotional footprint and become well-adjusted and emotionally sound folks.  My experience with flowers remedies has been casual so far, I still have a lot to learn.  It's  a funny story, but I discovered Bach Flowers long before I had heard of energy healing or Reiki. Back in 2003, I was a full-time MBA student at one of Mexico's leading business schools. The stress levels were sky high, roughly 10% of each incoming class would flunk out during the first year. There was pressure to shine, tons o...

So today, I’m going to tell you a little story about myself. It's about how I have taken baby steps– and I do mean baby steps – to get where I am now. Six years ago, I had just moved to London for work. Being new to the UK, I also wanted to meet people so I started signing up for a bunch of classes: starting with astrology, Kabbalah and meditation. Eventually these led me to my psychic school, where I signed up for a clairvoyance workshop. The thought of clairvoyant or clairaudient messages was exciting, but I kept it a secret so that people wouldn’t think I had gone completely mad. At that point, I myself had trouble believing it was real.  The first class I attended was a clairvoyant workshop where we tuned into our classmates' homes and described them to each other. The teacher guided us through a meditation, asking questions like: Is it a building? A house? How many rooms? How many people? Do they have pets, etc.? Our intuition filled in the blanks. I was new so...
