Diary of a Psychic Healer

My book was updated   this week  to include new data on emotional aspects of cancer and what that might mean for our wellbeing . Just a few paragraphs, but it helps to put energy healing into context. As most of you have the eBook, you can update it in your Kindle Account.  Energy Healing for Emotional Support A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love  provides a fresh perspective on the challenges faced when we or someone we love is diagnosed with cancer. We often start by asking why it happened and what it means. Inevitably our biology, lifestyle habits and emotional wellbeing all play a part.  For true healing to occur, we need to make changes on many levels.  The book goes onto explore Energy Healing as a friendly booster for tired souls, equipping the reader with simple tools that can be used daily to facilitate their personal healing journey. The pages turn quickly, infused with love, courage and optimism.  The techniques in this b...

I   remember wanting a crystal ball years ago but not knowing how to use it, or even if it would work, whatever that means. I was clueless but nevertheless intrigued by these spheres that sparkled in the sunlight.  In movies, we see gipsies with quartz balls while they do tarot readings, and they are meant to amplify our intuition, whether we use them for scrying  (scrying is when we gaze into a crystal ball, a mirror or a bowl of water and begin to see images) or just let them sit on the shelf.  Every now and then I sit down to meditate with my quartz sphere and while it is pretty cool because your intuition is enhanced, this isn't how I usually use it. Quartz spheres are my go-to crystals for intention setting.  Often I will set one on my nightstand in front of an image, a picture that reminds me of something that I want to create, attract or better yet, amplify.  Why A Crystal Ball?  The idea is for the quartz crystal t...

Last week I was so excited to learn that Amazon had launched in Mexico - we can now order books without having to pay ridiculous shipment fees. To celebrate, I bought myself a new tarot deck!    The deck is adorable: The Everyday Witch by Deborah Blake. The pictures make you feel like you are in a storybook - full of witches, potions and adventures. In psychic school our teacher encouraged us to pay attention to the images and not to look at the book (which I don't entirely agree with, as an author and blogger). Deborah's book is fantastic and it puts the meanings in everyday words.  What Can Tarot Cards Tell Us? I tend to read tarot intuitively, viewing the images as if they were scenes in a children's book with images  and no words. This lets you intuition speak when you connect with the characters and how they feel. This particular deck makes this approach easy, and we can also turn to the book for help if we need clues.  ...

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...
