Diary of a Psychic Healer

It dawned on me today that the ego can only exist in relation to something else, it doesn’t stand on its own legs.  It also has to be seen, which isn’t bad; we all need to be seen, cherished  and loved. The ego gives us strength, so that we can shine brightly and happily .   But wouldn’t it be cool if your true self or your Higher Self shone through instead? Your Higher Self is the part of you that hasn’t been put through conditioning. So instead of comparing yourself with others and having that be the reference point for the ego, align your ego with your Higher Self and all of its joy, light and potential.  This shift can be done on both feeling and mental levels. The belief that we can be more or less than the person next door is where the ego dysfunction starts. It needs comparison to exist, a point of reference. One of my reiki teachers, William Rand, tells us that we can heal the ego so that it becomes a force for our light & purpose to shine in the world. ...

The sun is at 29 degrees Leo today - that is my North Node in my astrology chart. It represents what I need to do to bust out of limiting patterns. The key message is to shine without dimming my light. I’ve been working on it for a long time and although I have made big advances, there was still a behavioral pattern that I had to kick.  Without going into the details of my natal chart, Leo rules my mission, destiny and happiness in life (if I choose to accept it) but I also have three heavy planets in the Earthy sign of Virgo, one that encourages us to be humble. And in my case, to hide my light because I didn’t want to be a show off, seem arrogant, or too self-centered.  The North Node is completely outside your comfort zone; playing the observer comes naturally to me, but the North Node in Leo pushes me to take my place center stage.    As you'll know from reading Diary of a Psychic Healer, I've been on a spiritual deep dive for 14 years . I have this pattern where...

Last night I did a meditation to develop more of a sense of security within myself. It’s part of a class that I’ve been taking the past few months. The teacher guided us through a visualization where we became aware of our connection with the Divin e.  My intuition kept pointing me towards the Divine Feminine in the form of an ancient goddess. The one in the picture is Our Lady of Guadalupe, a collage of the Basilica in Mexico City (my hometown). Once upon a time, when I was visiting, it dawned on me that we tend to think of ourselves as powerless - hence, we ask upstairs for miracles. What if we could tap into that directly?  My intuition followed through with a clear message: imagine a matrushka - the Mother Goddess is on the outside, then your Higher Self, then you. Like cosmic Aura layers around you. These visuals weren’t part of the guided meditation, but they made perfect sense. I loved the metaphor, and funny enough, the past few days I had found myself questioning the ...

I've been on a blogging sabbatical for about six months but it's time to start again. Today I sat in the park and meditated for a while - the images that came through were awesome and I want to share. A few years ago I wrote about the transpersonal chakras, basically a system with 12 or 13 energy centers. We have the seven chakras that most healers and yoguis are familiar with, an additional four that can be found in the Aura, and one near your heart. These chakras are about our connection with soul, spirit and the universe.   Anyhooo, I haven't found any books about these chakras and whenever I sit down to meditate, I tend to get glimpses of how they work. The idea is that our seven main chakras have to do with the physical body and our personalities, starting with the root chakra at the bottom of the spine and going all the way up to the Crown. The first transpersonal chakra is the Earth Star; it gives us deeper grounding so we can connect with spirit.  FYI - This is an a...
