I'm Reading Up on Witches ✨

I love Halloween and all things magical. While I have  never thought  of myself as a witch (after all, I am not Wiccan), the concept of magick is present in my daily life thanks to my experience with energy healing, clairvoyance and crystals.  This got me wondering what, if  anything,  I might have in common with witches. I’m very curious about  the craft, defined as art + structure + creativity. The word itself,  witchcraft,  had always made me feel uneasy.  So I decided to unpack this queasy feeling by reading one of Christopher Penczak's many books on witches. Penczak is the author of Buddha, Christ, Merlin: The Three Wisemen of our Time.  In that book, he explores three qualities that we develop by practicing Buddhism, Christianity and Magick at the same time (intense): wisdom, love and power.

Reiki, the Soul and Spirit

Rei translates as universal energy, divine love and intelligence. Ki refers to the energy in our bodies and how our energy levels are on a daily basis. We can meditate with Reiki energy to activate our inner guidance. Your  Soul & Spirit  ...

My 1st Psychic Development Class!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description???    That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived.   We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition .  The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc.  When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...
