Diary of a Psychic Healer

Hello Chickpeas!  I want to tell you about a new Reiki class that I took this weekend. First off, when I signed up for Reiki in 2012 there were only three levels: beginners, practitioner and teacher. And if you hadn’t noticed, Reiki is one of the modalities that I enjoy most; I enjoy giving myself Reiki as much as I love teaching it =)  To make a long story short, when people refer to Reiki they usually mean Usui Reiki - a system of natural healing that was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui about 100 years ago. Legend has it that Usui, a lifelong buddhist, embarked on a meditative retreat on Mount Kurama near Kyoto, hoping to achieve higher degrees of clarity and trust in his life (another word for enlightenment).  As legend has it, he felt a massive ray of light come down from above. That rush of light entered his body through the top of his head and when he came to again, he decided it was time to leave. Usui was already a healer and over the next da...

The last few years I have been studying astrology, specifically a current that looks at the planets and how we can connect with their energy to empower ourselves. At first I wondered what that meant; it's similar to grounding and connecting Mother Earth or Gaia.  In Energy Healing we use our intention to send healing to people in other parts of the world. When it comes to the planets, we can create similar bridges of energy, bringing the loving energy of Venus down when the time is right for it - or maybe Mercury's quick wit and communications. Each of the planets has a range of associations.  Distant Healing is covered in my book, Chakra H ealing & Magick. The thought of connecting with the planets came to me during a meditation with Archangel Raziel, the angel of astrology. But as it turns out, this type of astrology has been around for hundreds of years!  Next week I am meeting with a group who is interested in a weekly astrological meditation class - i...

The Law of Attraction works in funny ways. They say that what we think about or feel very strongly will manifest around us, and this is cool if you are manifesting things you love (if not always straightforward). But there is at least one area where this "law" can trip us up: tarot readings.  Let's say you go for a tarot reading and you're worried about your job or your marriage. That fear or worry is held in your Aura, and when the cards are shuffled and drawn, instead of drawing the messages that your guides and angels want you to hear, we draw images that appear to confirm those fears. I think this is one of the reasons why some people are scared of tarot.  Luckily this can be remedied by following a few simple steps.  Start By Clearing Yourself Whenever I sit down with a client, we begin the reading with a short energy healing meditation to help the person ground, clear and shield their energy - toning down any fears that they may ha...

I found a lovely quartz massage wand a few weeks ago and I am loving it so far. The thing with crystals is that I always feel like I have more than enough - anything you might need - then a new one makes its way into my life and I couldn't be happier LOL.  This stone has plenty of clouds and shapes; it almost looks like it has angel wings in there near the point. I absolutely adore quartz crystals because they are fun to meditate with and on some occasions, we can even use them for scrying.  This particular wand caught my attention for energy healing sessions. The thought that came to mind was heavy-duty clearing agent . Much like a Hoover. I suspect that the clearing strength comes from its cloudiness. This got me thinking about how a quartz' characteristics can influence how we use it for energy healing or meditation.  This quartz wand is slow when it comes to filling the body with light; it just doesn't seem to flow that way. But it is fantastic at re...
