Diary of a Psychic Healer

I am starting to discover that our life purpose doesn't have to be serious or even al l that challenging. A part of me used to think it had to be hard.   So  in college, I’d reach for the tougher classes, doing five credits, when only four were needed. It wasn’t too much, but it was uneccessary pressure. Since then, I also discovered Astrology, a subject that made the cut at Tuft's Experimental College . Call me crazy, but Astrology should be offered at every college. If there is a time when finding our place is most critical, it's those formative years before we launch ourselves into the world as young adults. I discovered astrology nearer to my Saturn return (at 27-28) and the perspective it gave me has been invaluable.   Jan Spill er introduced me to the world of North Nodes and Pre-Birth Eclipses . These little known placements can point you in the direction of your very own Yel low Brick Road , the path that will lead you to your Life P urpo...

I turned thirty six last week! My third Jupiter R eturn is something to celebrate and hopefully it will send me into the future with a lot more oomph. My favorite presents this year were the goodies in the picture to your left: an Affirmations Coloring Book by Hay House , the Chrysalis Tarot deck and a neat little tarot bag with a yin-yang sign on the cover.  The tarot deck I was expecting and I love it; the past couple of months I had been using the iPhone app so I already knew how beautiful the cards were. The coloring book was a complete surprise and I have already spent at least a few hours filling in the mandalas while reciting the affirmations that go with them. The coloring book was created by Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life , and Alberta Hutchinson , a mandala artist and author. The funny thing about coloring books is they take you back to childhood, when things didn't have to be perfect to be beautiful (This might be the Virgo in me speaking up)...

OK, so I started following Leonardo DiCaprio's Facebook Page a few months ago and it's not just that I like his movies - even though I did love Catch Me If You Can and at least a half-dozen others.  Believe it or not, most of his  posts are about environmental topics and this is how I discovered a documentary called Cowspiracy , which in my view, does away with the myth of sustainable fishing and animal farming. There is no way to sustainably farm enough meat, chicken, fish or dairy for the 7 billion people on this planet - at least not with our current dietary habits. Download the movie for $4.95 at Cowspiracy.com, or watch it on Netflix. The movie advocates complete veganism and to be honest, that is a tough sell. Graham Hill's  Weekday Vegetarian proposal  may have better chances of success. So from Cowspiracy , here are a few good reasons to go mostly  vegan or vegetarian:  "Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% o...
