Diary of a Psychic Healer

A few years ago I completed my Reiki Master training, which is a fancy way of saying that I'm now qualified to teach Reiki. Our teacher gave us lots of printed information with practical applications and last month I went back to look at my notes.  I found a section on homeopathy! I had forgotten about this, but our Reiki teacher provided two different techniques that we can use to charge water with Reiki and use it for self-healing...  The first involves visualising what we want to create - health, peace of mind, the absence of a headache, etc - while holding a bottle of water in our hands and infusing that water with Reiki. This hasn't worked well for me, I barely notice an effect.   The Law of Similars The second option was to use the so-called "Law of Similars" from homeopathy, assuming that like repels like. Instead of focusing on what we want to create (wellness), we use Reiki to fill that water with the energetic imprint of the symptom.  S...

It's funny how certain things come along when we need them - and in the weirdest ways. Four years ago I was finishing up my energy healing studies and while the program was very comprehensive as far as chakras and spiritual healing were concerned, I felt I needed better communications skills too...  At the time I had just signed up to volunteer as a Reiki practitioner at a cancer support center. One day my supervisor asked if I would like to participate in a Buddy System - essentially as someone who sits with patients and talks to them when they need a listening ear.   During the training we practiced different skills that could help us listen to people and respond without coming across as judgemental, or without letting our fears, insecurities or prejudices get in the way.  Applying 'Listening Skills' in Daily Life 
I have spent some time thinking about how we can apply these skills in our daily lives, especially if a friend needs emotiona...

Before I started this Diary of a Psychic Healer blog, I had one called Walking With Yo ur Guides that didn't last long. At the time I was reading a book on spirit guides  and the name made sense. I was also enrolled in one of my first ever classes on spirit guides. After a few months I deleted that blog because I didn't like the name, and because I wanted to talk about energy healing, intuition, astrology and angels.  I can't remember how I came up with the Diary of a Psychic Healer , but I liked the sound of it and the fact that it includes Energy Healing and Intuition - even though, I don't heal through psychic means. Energy Healing involves channeling energy from the universe and from the Earth, through the body and Chakras, to different aspects of our lives. Still, the the name was catchy and as I discovered yesterday, if I add up the letters, the numerology adds up to the number 7, which represents Neptune.  Neptune is the planet of intuition,...

We have an eclipse coming up this weekend. The last year and a half I have been tracking the eclipses - looking at how they touch different points in my natal chart. In theory, this would tell us how a specific eclipse will influence our lives, and if it will influence us strongly. If an eclipse aspects one of our main planets, like the Sun, Moon or the Ascendant, expect a big one.    There have been changes in my life over the past year, especially internal perspectives, but I don't feel those shifts corresponded to last year's eclipse themes.  This is not to imply that eclipses don't matter. I have definitely seen and felt the impact of eclipses in my natal chart, specifically that of the  two eclipses that happened when I was still in the womb. The prenatal eclipses are meant to shape our mission in life, what we “teach by example.” I started looking into this six months ago when I stumbled across a book called Spiritual Astrology , by J...

I've been reading up on Atlantis and there isn't a whole lot that is based on fact.   Rudolf Steiner has a book on Atlantis and Lemuria that I would love to read, particularly as it was written long before the current new age scene came about. Diana Cooper's books are also quite interesting - her work is similar to what I have done in the past. I'm reading up on the energy body now. The one thing that that stands out in my research so far is the Chakra system. Crystals also come up frequently as healing and tech tools.  At the School of Intuition & Healing, we learned that humans have 12 Chakras, not just the 7 that are commonly known (the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Brow and Crown). The additional five can be found along the same column of light in the Auric field. I mentioned one of these in my Chakra Healing book : The Earth Star. It is located in the ground beneath our feet and connects us to Mother Nature, including nature spirits, fairie...
