Diary of a Psychic Healer

Last year I shared a fantastic TedX Talk by Fernando Ortiz of VertialGreen . Fernando starts his talk by googling "Paradise" to show us what comes up:  pristine nature scenes. It's mindboggling to think that we had paradise and then  developed  it  away. This fan t astic company is dedicated to bringing nature back into our lives and making us more consci ous o f how vital nature is to our survival .

There are Oracle Decks that I use for readings, and others that I turn to for inspiration and healing. Stewart Pearce’s beautiful  Angels of Atlantis deck falls into the second category. The messages are inspired by Archangels like Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel - who I know from psychic school. Each card has a bright orb for us to meditate on, and broad themes involve feelings like joy, healing, peace, and abundance. I like to use these cards as meditative prompts and this Tuesday, they were also the source of inspiration for my radio show. I wasn’t sure what to talk about and I pulled a card for inspiration: Joy.  The result was a list of ten simple things that we can all do to bring more joy into our lives. Joy is said to be the purest and highest emotion, for some, even higher than the energy of love.  Here are eleven simple ways to bring joy into your life: Spend Time with People you Love:  What else is there? The rest of the tips help us refocus ...

Every now and then I'll read cards informally for a friend (if my tarot deck isn't in my bag, I also happen to have the iPhone app). They are usually quick to ask a question, with the caveat: "But don't tell me if you see anything bad in the cards!"  Thankfully I've never been the bearer of bad news and more often than not, the cards talk about blind spots we have at the moment. Is there anything missing from your approach or assumptions? How can we change our behavior to find ourselves in happier circumstances.  For example, one of the most common questions is "when will I get a boyfriend" or "when will my finances improve" and rather than give a date, the cards might tell you to work on your self-love first, or be more mindful of expenses. If a new job is on the horizon, we can also get a glimpse of that, though I always ask what you can do to make the most of the opportunity. Being ready and prepared makes a h...

Two weeks ago my cousin threw herself a "meditation" to celebrate her birthday. It coincided with the Full Moon in Pisces. There were about seven of us there. The birthday girl enlisted her meditation teacher to lead the session . We started with a group meditation where we visualized the birthday girl filled with love and blessings.  The evening was clear, we also did a Full Moon meditation. Both Kabbalah and astrology tell us that the universe’s gifts come to us through the Moon. No wonder witches and healers have been feeling the pull for centuries. My cousin’s birthday was on the Fu ll Moon, so we set the intention to release any blocks that keep us from receiving abundance. Had it been a New Moon, we would have set the intention for blessings to grow over time. Same as my astro magick class! It was nice to meet a group of healers that night; it’s one of the things I have missed.  Reiki hugs, Regina  >> This post has been edited t...

Astrology is a fascinating subject. One of the easiest places to start is with the Elements in your chart: how much Fire, Water, Earth and Air do you have? The Elements shape your personality. In my case, most of my planets are in Earth and Air signs which makes me very practical, analytical and logical (believe it or not!) though my saving grace is Mercury in Pisces, putting the planet of communication, ideas and writing in a very intuitive and creative sign that can, at times, be easily distracted by the watery world of the fish.  It is a good thing I have a ton of planets in the Earth sign of Virgo, grounding that spacey energy. Nevertheless I'm still lopsided when it comes to the Elements so I have taken to wearing crystals that balance me out by adding Fire and Water to my energy field. My latest discovery have been red coral mala beads, with both fire and water. We can integrate what is missing. Keep reading for an overview of the Zodiac. A...
