Diary of a Psychic Healer

Medical Intuition was one of my favourite subjects at the  School of Intuition & Healing . As crazy as it may sound, the idea is to communicate with the body by asking questions and listening for a response. Our organs, Chakras and even our cells can be incredibly chatty. The liver will dish on the client's diet, too much of this and not enough of that. The pituitary gland can give us a rundown on the endocrine system.  We find aspects of our personalities in the different organs. Torn between following your Heart and your sense of duty? Your Chakras may reflect that tension. We also learned that the body can tell us what happened in a person's life to trigger feelings of sadness, confusion or loss.  Medical Intuition is about listening as a healing tool. We coax the body into revealing pockets of energy that need healing, ideally before they manifest as a physical imbalance.  You can do it yourself.  As an intuitive healer, it's not unco...

My last post was about a workshop called  Awakening the Illuminated Heart , and how grounded I have felt ever since. The class is based on the teachings of a man called Drunvalo Melchizadech. I didn't know what to expect as the teachings are very New Age ( Merkabas , Ascension ,, etc). The class was pretty cool, a heart-based approach to co-creation. One of the big perks for me however, was how my energy field adapted. I now find it a lot easier to ground my energy through my Root Chakra.  This was a big step as I've always been one to ground my through my feet instead of my Root Chakra. Try as I might, I couldn't visualize or feel grounding cords at the base of my spine. If you're wondering, grounding refers to  how well we connect with Mother Earth and how safe we feel in the world. That connection also makes it easier for us to release stress, tension and emotional debris into the ground for cleansing. We can also use our grounding to draw up earth energy, boosti...

Last month I attended  Awakening of the Illuminated Heart , a heart healing workshop that taught us how to connect our Brow Chakra to our Heart, so that we could see the world through our Heart and not the mind. This connection is also one that Barbara Brennan references in Hands of Light, telling us that Unconditional Love flows when both of these Chakras are open and connected. The Brow Chakra and its corresponding Aura layer make it possible for us to see the light in others, regardless of who they are to us.  The big reveal at the end of the workshop was a manifesting meditation that we can use to create images with our Heart and Mind, things that you want to bring into your life. I started out visualizing themes like healing, abundance, friendships and a completely healed and whole emotional body so that I can relate to others from a place of wholeness and not old hurts. I think I'm almost there, but there are probably a few experiences that I still need to release...

So many of us catch colds when we are overworked, stressed or in need of a break. So as obvious as this may sound, it is important to get some rest and take care of ourselves.   That said, I would like to share a convenient  tool that I learned at the School of Intuition and Healing   in London. I use it when I feel a cold coming on, to try and avoid a full-blown sneeze fest.  The theory is that colds enter through the Aura before they reach the physical body, and that when we feel that scratchy throat or start sniffling, it's because the cold has found it's way to the innermost layer, just a few centimeters above our skin. At this point, we may  still be able to clear it.  In my student days, I learned to focus my healing efforts here:    Work on Your Grounding:  The more grounded we are, the more resistant our energy. Turn your attention to the soles of your feet, and intend for your foot chakras to open up and connect you to the...

One of my favorite meditation tools was inspired by a Disney movie. Like so many kids, I loved Mary Poppins. My favorite was the Spoonful of Sugar sequence, followed by the chalk drawing scene in the park where Dick Van Dyke's character has them jump into a piece of street art. The park comes alive in chalky technicolor. Last week I went to  the Met  in New York and even if I didn't jump into the paintings, they do come alive if you spend enough time looking at them. It's hard not to imagine the subjects coming out of still life or laughing between takes.  The meditation tool is just that, choose a photograph, a painting or a tarot card and bring it to life around you. Relax your mind and let your imagination do the rest.  So for example, if you're looking at a vase of flowers ask yourself how they smell, what texture does the vase have? Imagine yourself picking it up. Is it heavy?  If your memory is great, you can close your eyes. Otherwise keep them open ...

The last thing I need is a new deck of cards, but that didn't stop me from walking into Barnes & Noble last week and leaving with a brand new set of Guardian Angel Tarot Cards.  They are amazing, I have no regrets! My sister asked if they were different from the others I have. Yes and no, but mostly yes. The deck is based on the standard structure and themes of  tarot, with 21 major arcana cards to illustrate big life changes and four suits of element cards to guide us through the details of everyday life.  What I love most about the Guardian Angel Tarot , by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine, is that the messages and the images are peaceful, angelic, and obvious so that the point is clear. My grandmother would love this deck, when others would might raise eyebrows. They are that gentle.  I also like the way they've translated the Suits of Pentacles, Wands, Air and Swords into what they represent in our lives: Abundance, Action, Thought and Emotions. Al...
