Performance tips from a quasi athlete (me!)

Like so many of us, I enjoyed watching the Paris Olympics. It brought back memories from my teenage years - a bit of background, but I went to four different high schools (in three countries) and I signed up for school sports to make friends.  For example, in my junior year, I joined the Track & Field team. I had never tried the sport, but it was the only team where you didn't have to qualify. Everyone could go to practice, choose a category and only the top 2-3 students in each group would compete. It was pretty cool.     Every Monday we had to run sprints for two hours - basically races where you ran the however-many-yard-dash quicker and quicker. The rest of the week, we'd do a warm up run for 30 minutes and then practice our individual categories. I chose long jump and high jump. Both were fun and relatively easy once you got the hang of it.  So two things that I'd like to highlight....  🫶🏻 First, oddball happening - I did surprisingly well with the hi...

Moon Magick: Transform your life with the light of the stars

This article is a follow-up to my book, Chakra Healing & Magick - promised to share more on how the planets can impulse your life . I   first published this article on a friend and fellow blogger’s astrology site in July 2022.  *** As an energy healer and astrologer, making the jump to planetary magick and self-healing was predictable. The more aware we are of spiritual energy, the easier it becomes for us to connect with the Moon and with the rest of the planets on a day-to-day basis. Healing ourselves also makes these connections conscious - we feel the influence and respond thoughtfully. A big surprise was that we can also channel the planets with the intention to heal our lives. Doing so requires an understanding of how the natal chart is put together, and being able to pinpoint moments when it makes sense to connect with the planets - usually when they are transiting the Houses in the natal chart that relate to the issues that need a bit of healing. If you’re not fam...

Astrology and the Fire in your Aura

I first published this article on a friend and fellow blogger’s astrology site in August 2022. Sharing here to make it available to my blog readers.  *** As an energy healer, my approach has always been to look at the stars as a map that we can follow to heal ourselves. No matter what we see in our natal charts, we can lean on energy healing and a bit of psychology to help us get around issues.   Early on, this holistic view brought up a lot of questions. Where is the energy of the birth chart, is it in the physical body? How do we feel the effect of transits, and is there anything that we can do to soften the edge? And why were so many people focused on Mercury Retrograde? There are lots of planets that need integrating!  My answers to these questions are partly based on the 2-year healing course at the  School of Intuition & Healing  in London, with regards to the Aura having 4 main layers. That and the astrology chart of clients.  My intuition tells ...
