The Archangels of Balance, Blessings and Infinite Joy

For five years I have hoped that my former psychic school would offer online class, and finally, they have! Moving to London in 2009 turned out to be one of the greatest adventures of my life, mostly because I stumbled across this fantastic school where we learned to access our intuition through the chakras. This led me down the rabbit hole that I have been blogging about for 10 years 😅 There are dozens of classes, but I was feeling nostalgic and I signed up for angel intuition (the class that I used to take), which was amazing as one of my former classmates now  teaches there. Her name is Liesl Duffy, and for those of you who want to learn from scratch, she is highly recommended. Liesl introduced us to three archangels, some of whom I had heard of, some I hadn't. Archangel Dokiel:  This is the one I feel is most necessary now because of the intense stress and upheaval that we are going through on a global level. Dokiel i...

The Indian & Tibetan River of Buddhism (Class Review)

I’m enrolled in an online class at Columbia University called The Indian & Tibetan River of Buddhism . Signed up when quarantine began and I am glad I did.  The class is taught by Dr Robert Thurman - one of the founders of Tibet House in NYC. We are only on the second week, but I wanted to share it now as you can still  sign up .  We’ve covered the history of Buddhism: what society, culture and government were like 2600 years ago and why the Buddha's approach to happiness, compassion and freedom was appealing to so many people, especially freedom from the hierarchy of the caste systems. It also feels like a  lot of the concepts are still relevant today, for example, the study of the nature of reality and how we can find happiness.   The class looks at the concepts of Dharma (as far as I can tell, a search for truth), the Eightfold Path and how these lay the groundwork for enlightenment through meditation. To become enlightened is to have y...

A Crystal Grid to Remove Turbulence

Hi Chickpeas, This week  I have a few thoughts to share with you -  firstly, I am enrolled in a fun crystal healing class at Hibiscus Moon and my homework this week was to create a crystal grid - essentially a crystal layout which can be charged with intentions. It amplifies your magick  💝 The concept of programming crystal grids to send healing is right up my alley. In Reiki classes we learn to program crystals for energy balancing - there are lots of ways to work with them. One of my favorites, in the context of a reiki session, is to incorporate them when the client’s energy is so stuck that I’d have to spend a lot more time on each hand position  (Byosen Levels 4-5*). We also learned how to program grids for distant healing in the Reiki Master classes.  One of my Reiki teachers set up a grid - actually four - and placed them at the North Pole, South Pole, Jerusalem and Hawaii to cover the four corners of the Earth (that is William Rand). Reiki...

What Do Happiness & Magic Mean To You?

I have spent lots of time  meditating with crystals, journaling and going for walks to clear the air. One of the themes that has been running through my mind is the concept of magic and if we can manifest anything we visualize. Call it magic, manifesting or the law of attraction...  This particular question is time-sensitive now - this  March 2020 -  as the whole world has received a cosmic time out, with a bit of fear and uncertainty thrown into the mix, and lots of time to contemplate our lives.  The message that came through today was that YES - everyone can experience happiness, love, security, health and belonging, but how that looks will be different for each of us.  We won't all have a house as big as Oprah's - or a big business to run - but we can all have and deserve to have work that we we enjoy, a beautiful roof over our heads and loved ones to share this with. And to be honest, many of us wouldn't enjoy the pace and maintenanc...
