Diary of a Psychic Healer

Six months ago I joined a weekly circle where we meet up at each other's houses and take turns presenting metaphysical subjects that we are into. Its been lots of fun; earlier this year I got to teach tarot and astrology and I am now I am back as a student, which I love. This week we kicked off with a new round of classes on Mayan spirituality, specifically the 13 cycles of the moon, from New Moon to Full Moon and what we learn about ourselves as we start to peel back the layers of the ego. The round of classes will span 26 weeks, I will be working on it into the New Year.      Exploring The Mayan World View This week kicked off with a bit of theory on the Mayan "World View" of the human being as a functioning, sentient being that is part of the Universe but not all of it, just like a kidney is a functioning organ that is part of the human body and not separate from it (but also, not one and the same with the whole). The idea was that we each have a function to ...

I watched a great video by Gary Vaynerchuck a few weeks ago, and it got me thinking about astrology. It is about age being relative, and how we are a lot younger than we think - younger than our parents and grandparents were at the same age (you can watch it below). With modern medicine, we're going to live longer and healthier than the generations that came before us. The milestones that we grew up with are irrelevant. In Gary Vee's words: if you are 50, don 't wrap it up, start it up. Your whole life is ahead of you. This idea also resonates 100,000% with astrological timing ...  Here is why:  There are a number of cycles that we track with astrology. If we look at the movement of the planets through the zodiac, every so often, they return to the same place in the sky as the moment of our birth. This happens every month with the Moon, and every year with the Sun. And with Saturn, every 28 or 29 years, a phenomenon that is known as our Saturn Return . Saturn is the Lord o...

I always ask that my angels keep me safe and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. This extends to my family's well-being but also the hassle of having something stolen, especially when you are on vacation in a foreign country and losing your wallet or your phone would be a major pain. A few weeks ago I was traveling with family and we went to one of those country fairs. The kind where you see ferris wheels , cotton candy and lots of kids and teenagers running around trying to win prizes. After an hour or so and a delicious Nutella waffle, it was time to go and we made our way to the exit.  We were walking and I had my purse slung behind me, a purse that I love using on these trips because it has so many compartments that it would be really hard for anyone to find anything in it. Still, you don't want anyone snooping around in there, and I suddenly had an image of a hand flash through my mind - that hand was reaching for my purse. I instinctively pulled my purse...

Anyone who knows me would tell you I'm quite the shopaholic when it comes to books and crystals. That one-click option on Amazon is my downfall. Sometimes I will buy a book long before I have time to read it (or before I have any chance of understanding it).  That was the case with Jan Spiller's Spiritual Astrology: A Path to Divine Awakening, which turned out to be a fantastic read and I'm now kicking myself for not reading earlier. I bought the book in 2009, re-gifted it, and got it again last month. It opened my eyes to a new way of working with astrology. B ut first , let’s look at some of the more tra ditional ways that a Natal Astrology reading can help us. Studying our natal charts can help in seve ral ways: 1) Getting To Know Yourself What does it mean if a person's Sun is in the fiery sign of Aries, their Moon is in Libra. The Sun rules our core, our essence, what our soul is here to accomplish. The Moon is about how we feel, our inner w...

It's been a few weeks since Chakra Healing & Magick  was released - I hope you are enjoying the read!  This week, I thought we coul d discuss grounding and how it can help us prepare for the shifts that come when we begin to engage with energy healing and meditation on a deeper level. We have discussed grounding several times , so it's grounding in the energy of love that I'd like to focus on . You see, in order to really heal ourselves, we have to be willing to turn a compassionate and objective eye inward, shining a loving light on our fears and insecurities before addressing the aspects that need healing.  If we are also planning on working with energy healing to bring about these shifts on an emotional or spiritual level, we will be much better off if we begin by grounding ourselves in Mother Nature as that gives us a means of releasing emotional energy.  How Do We Ground Ourselves?   We can begin by learning to ground ou...
