Through the Looking Glass - 15 Years of Magick and Mystery

15 years ago I discovered my first intuition book. I started reading it the exact month of my Saturn Return, at 25 Virgo 😅 For any astrology buffs, that return is when your soul makes sure you find your path. Saturn has now made it’s way to Pisces, the halfway point around the Zodiac, bringing all of this into focus. My astrology chart indicates a life of exploring, learning and blogging.

So I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the classes I’ve taken the past 15 years, ever since this adventure started. Here is a recap with links to some of my blog posts. 

Instead of going in order, thought I'd start with the six areas of study that have been the cornerstone of my healing practice: 

• BA in Philosophy from Tufts, 2002. Obviously my love of learning and writing is largely influenced by my time at Tufts. This undergrad degree gives me lots of structure too. 

• Psychic Development at The College of Psychic Studies. I signed up for weekly classes in May 2010 and stayed until January 2014. Those are the spirit guides and angels classes listed below 🫶🏻

• Energy Healing Course at the School of Intuition & Healing. Looking back, I still can't believe I completed this training. We had 18 full-day workshops over a two year period, with several assignments and 85 case studies to graduate. Here is a write up from a client session. Sept 2010 - May 2012.

• Usui Tibetan Reiki: When I finished energy healing school, I wanted to volunteer at a cancer center but the hospital only allowed Reiki. So I signed up for a workshop and it blew my mind! Reiki is easy to channel; it can be used for hands on healing and also to activate our intuition and ask for guidance. Six days of class in 2012 and 2013, becoming a Reiki Master in May of 2013. We learned a lot more than I bargained for: giving and teaching Reiki, automatic and distant healing, space clearing, clearing and programming crystals for healing, reiki homeopathy etc. 

• This was when I wrote my first book, A Personal Guide to Self-Healing, Cancer & Love - building on my philosophy and energy healing studies, as well as four years in consumer healthcare 🤍🤍🤍

• Practical Kabbalah with my teacher in Mexico. This helped me grow as a person, a healer and a teacher. I had already been into Kabbalah for about 7 years before meeting Dalia but her classes made a huge difference. My 1st class with Dalia was in October 2016 and I attended her weekly class for 2.5 years. 

In chronological order - here is the list of classes. Looking back, I have actually applied most of these themes, and not just taken lessons. The first list includes the classes that I took in when I lived in London, either at The College of Psychic Studies or at the School of Intuition and Healing. 

Most of the workshops lasted a full day - enough for beginners to open up and get messages. With the 10 week classes, we'd meet for two hours a week to flex our intuition. The most important thing is that we are consistent, and that we have fun. 

• Creative writing workshops at Gotham's Writers (2007-09)
• Kabbalah 1 & 2 at the Kabbalah Centre UK (Summer & Fall 09)
• Cord Cutting Workshop with Sue Allen at CPS. December 2009
• My 1st Psychic Abilities Workshop, two days in January 2010 💜💜
• Could I be a Healer with Natasha Wojnow at CPS (Feb 2010)
• Angels & Ascended Masters Workshop at CPS. May 2010
• Weekly Spirit Guides class with Michelle Hawcroft (May-Nov 2010)
• This blog was born: Diary of a Psychic Healer, September 2010
• More Spirit Guides & Psychic Development Winter 2011
• Weekly Angel Intuition with Amanda Roberts at CPS from May 2011 - March 2013. I skipped a one term of classes in 2012 when the healing course was too much.
• Self Love and Manifesting Workshop with Cate MacKenzie - I still have a gold heart memento from class 🤍
• Medical Intuition Workshop at School of Intuition & Healing. 2011
• Kabbalah Level 3 at the Kabbalah Centre UK - Fall  2012 
• Listening & Responding (Counseling Skills ) at a cancer center May 2013. 
• Cancer Treatments & Complementary Therapies at a cancer hospital, 2013.
• Remote Viewing with Debbie Kay Edwards. Two terms 2013.
• Channeling: 8 Weeks at the School of Intuition Healing - Sept 2013. 
• Zohar Class at the Kabbalah Centre in London, most of 2013. This was my favorite from the K Center - it looks at the weekly astrology vibes and a mystical interpretation of the Torah 🫶🏻

In January, 2014 I left London and moved to Mexico City where I've lived ever since. In the summer of 2015 I went back to London for a term to complete the last level of angels, and I dove into astrology: 

• Psychic Astrology with Demian Allan (10 weeks)
• Intermediate Tarot with Avril Price (8 or 10 weeks)
• Psychic Mediumship with Geoffrey Beitz (10 Weeks)
• Angel & Guides Teacher Training with Amanda Roberts (5 weeks) 
• Astrological Magick = amazing workshop with Demian Allan
• Mediumship with Donna Stewart: weekend workshop at SIH. 
• Time Travel Workshop with Daniel Pitt at the College. 
• Overall, 2015 was my year of magical training 💜

Mexico had a lot to offer too. This was when I began teaching regularly. I was lucky to come across a wonderful holistic centre where I taught themes like angels, intuition, tarot, astrology, and reiki for four years ✨

• A Lucid Dreaming and Astral Travel Workshop in 2014 where I failed spectacularly. Two days of trying to fall asleep and not fall asleep 🕯️

• Weekend workshop on channeling and psychic abilities with the friends who set up the spiritual circle mentioned below. This was in 2014.

• Awakening the Illuminated Heart Workshop in Mexico City - four days of meditation and manifesting in March of 2015. I am not into the New Age concepts presented in this class, but the manifesting meditation is great and I took it again in 2019.

• Tarot & Angel Card Reader Class with Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine in 2015. It was a Christmas gift 👌🏻👌🏻

• Failed attempt at A Course in Miracles: November 2015 to early 2016. The very christian language on this gets to me and I also struggle with the daily updates where I felt like I was being reprogrammed - I quit this quickly, but made good friends. 

• Dec 2015: Halfday workshop on clear quartz crystals at Anahd Centro Holístico. It was taught by a fellow healer, Claudia Lechuga. It was a fun morning. Anahd is where I taught for several years, until the pandemic. Clau teaches in Spanish (here). 

• Predictive Astrology online class at The Dark Pixie Astrology (2016). The following year I became a Pixie, guest blogging on Nic’s site about healing with astrology. Here is a guest post on flower remedies for retrogrades. 

• Spring 2016-2017: A weekly circle with a group of healers and psychics. We all took turns presenting different topics: astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, Kabbalah. The highlight may have been 6 months on the 13 Clan Mothers and the Moon, based on Jamie Sams book of Mayan Spiritual Psychology. Amazing. 

• Spiritual Psychology 2017: One of my college friends is a spiritual psychologist - she set up a 12 week class where we learned to work through our own baggage. It was geared towards inner work; I am not a trained psychologist or counselor. 

• Theta Healing Basic DNA: three-day workshop on energy healing that I absolutely loved. It's very similar to my energy healing school so I didn't continue with their classes, but I read a lot of their books and they are really fantastic. August 2017. 

• Usui Holy Fire®  and Karuna Reiki® - February 2019. I loved this class and recommend it highly. It’s the style of reiki that I now teach. The curriculum includes Usui Reiki and theories on the soul & spirit. It empowers us to release conditioning and be our most authentic selves. 

• Crystal Healing at Hibiscus Moon in 2020. The class lasted 8 weeks and I signed up for the weekly livestreams for two years during the pandemic. It kept me sane and happy. The school has since closed - it was a good one. 

• Three weeks on Environmental Psychology at Pacifica Graduate School. Took this out of curiosity during the pandemic. Loved it. 

• Time Travelers Guide to the Universe + Intro to Quantum Physics with Denise Linn and her brother (a university physics professor). I had a lot of fun with this class. Lots of aha moments around energy healing, Kabbalah and quantum physics. 

• Working with the Spirit Doctors - online class at The College of Psychic Studies with Susan Gash. This is one of four classes that I took during the pandemic and I loved it. I took the short courses that last 6 weeks. 

• The College of Psychic Studies went online during the pandemic and I signed up for a few classes out of nostalgia. More magick 💙

I think that is everything. That and lots of books and self-study. There was one astrological wizard class that I left on standby and I might go back to finish it - took me about a year to get through the first six modules. But it’s time to focus on teaching and writing. You'll find my books on Amazon. Chakra Healing & Magick has the basics - how to channel healing!

Integrating the Solar Eclipse: Your Cosmic Blind Spot

So this is going to be a short post but it’s the biggest aha moment of my life. I just realized that the biggest downfall of my prenatal solar eclipse in Leo - my cosmic blindspot - is that I am often the last person to see myself and realize how talented, creative, capable and fun I am ❤️😻

And I see it now, just took me a while …

The prenatal eclipses are the ones that happened when we were in the womb - the solar eclipse is your mission in life. It’s what you’re here to learn and teach by example. A mission that you can’t fail, but if you integrate it you’ll have a much better time. Jan Spiller has a great book on this called Spiritual Astrology. The lunar eclipse tells us where we can grow through enjoyment - mine is in Pisces and I’ve had the best time exploring my intuition. It comes easy to me.

The blindspot and/or gift varies by sign. With the solar eclipse in Leo - which is the sun/ego/self-love, my blind spot is myself.

If your solar eclipse were in Gemini or Sagittarius, you might not be able to see life from other people’s perspectives and get stuck in your own. In Capricorn, the blind spot could be on the value and result of all your hard work. If it’s in Pisces - you might have to work harder to access your intuition. The cool thing is that astrology shows us our blind spots and our talents. It’s a map. 

In the past, I have blogged about how the humble, self-critical and meticulous sign of Virgo overwhelms my natal chart - with three heavy planets and also Lilith (your greatest fear, and your hidden power). Lilith in Virgo has a deep rooted fear of failure, and specifically, of not being up to par. The upside is that it drives you to overprepare so that you can’t fail. It was George Washington’s Lilith, and historians tell us that he put so many hours into going over scenarios and strategies for battle, that he usually came out on top. The three times that I failed exams in school were due to absentmindedness, failing on purpose (long story), and because I winged it once. 

It’s the part of me that didn’t realize how much I knew, until I began teaching. The part that made me think I needed more degrees - in 2021, I almost enrolled in a masters in psychology to feel more solid, but really - I’m an energy healer and that is enough (as my career, I do think therapy is super useful and necessary). That Lilith in Virgo made me read a dozen astrology books when 3-4 would have been more than enough. Though to be honest, it was also curiosity that sent me into the details. 

So now I feel like I am overprepared and ready to talk about almost anything psychic, witchy or esoteric, when all I really wanted and needed to do was enjoy the journey and have fun. Instead of comparing myself to a standard that doesn’t really exist. 

Ready to join me on this adventure? 

You’ll find a write-up of my first clairvoyance class HERE. And be sure to read my book, Chakra Healing & Magick - both of my eclipses in one! The book is on energy healing and intuition, not astrology.

Now Available in Spanish Too! 💖

Raise your vibration with goddess energy

I love reading up on different themes and seeing how it all comes together; it’s not surprising as I majored in Philosophy (Tufts ‘02). That probably explains this blog 👀

Last year, I started reading the Hermetic books from the 2nd to 4th centuries, which are attributed to the greek Hermes Trismegistus. Believe it or not, the original set doesn’t mention the Kybalion (the 9 manifesting principles); those were channeled 1,500 years later. Instead, it’s a dissertation on the origins of the Universe, humanity’s place in it, and how we can practice meditation to connect with the divine. The first part looks at astrology, that was my favorite chapter. For the purpose of this blog, it tells us that when we meditate on the image of a god (or a goddess), that deity pulls us up, closer to his or her level. 

The books read as a dialogue between Hermes and his teacher, in the style of the Greek philosophers that we read at school. Hermes is given that visualization, but we can all apply it. My gut feeling is that we can then vibrate in harmony with that goddess, radiating light out to earth in unison. Rather than ask for miracles and everyday goodies, let’s climb that ladder and manifest it for ourselves, as part of a dynamic duo. We always get what we give - let’s send love, joy and abundance to everyone. 

This is what we try to do in meditations with Tara, the female Buddha of liberation … 

Heal the world too 🌺🌺🌺

Kabbalistically, the world’s dysfunction and chaos end (in part) when we reclaim our feminine energy, raising it to the same level of importance as the masculine. It’s a ladder of awareness that we climb through meditation and grounding, and it takes us out of a mental framework where zero-sum games rule. Your Higher Self is halfway up that ladder. Intuition opens the door 👉🏻 Intuitive Meditations HERE. 

Kabbalah speaks of 10 spheres of Light - the 3rd one down from the top is the divine feminine. The 10th, where we live and breathe, has a strong feminine energy energy that protects us - it’s a reflection of that third sphere. I have an inkling that Mary Magdalene can help us navigate a lot of the intermediate spheres. Those are spheres that we interact with on a daily basis through our mind and emotions.  

I began connecting with Mary Magdalene this year after a trip to London when her image popped up everywhere. My intuition tells me that the balancing of masculine and feminine polarities has to happen in the same framework where we lost it, so that it takes root in the unconscious (especially for us women). Otherwise it’s like you have to leave home to feel valued and accepted. That points me to Catholicism, with its Kabbalistic and Ancient Egyptian roots.

Goddess figures are present in many cultures but their psychology and energy vibe shifts based on their concept. Choose the one that feels right for you. 

Reiki hugs, 

Regina 

Ps … The Kabbalistic references here are from class, and from Gershom Sholem’s book, Kabbalah and its Symbolism. See here for an introduction to the Tree of Life.

Crystals, Reiki and a Flower Disaster

I had a crazy experience with crystals many years ago and I forgot to blog about it. Here it goes! I bought a handful of stones in a museum shop. Most crystals have great energy to begin with, and I do clear them before activating them. But on my way home, I took a carnelian out of the bag and held it in my palm. It didn’t seem happy. 

My hand stung after a while; it felt like the crystal was angry. Instead of clearing and keeping it, I decided to return it to nature. Burying crystals is a great way to clear their energy. But I just happened to walk past a huge flowerbed, and without thinking, I tossed it into the flowers 🌷🌷🌷

Three days later I walked past the flowers and they were all drooping. The flowerbed was about 6 feet wide and the whole thing looked terrible. I felt awful - so I gave the flowers Reiki for a few minutes and left. It didn’t help. A friend joined me later that week and we spent a lot of time sending healing to the flowers. When I checked again, everything was back to normal! 

Lately, I have been thinking about this experience and how crystals, Reiki and water can help us bloom. Also, how the effects of energy healing are not purely psychological or based on belief. After this particular example, I’d say that it doesn’t matter if we connect with energy healing logically or not. Let’s give ourselves the chance to receive light and bloom.

Visualize white light radiating through your aura and your water. And yes, clear your crystals before connecting with them. 

And read my book! Chakra Healing & Magick looks at crystals, energy healing and other kinds of magick. I published the book a year or so after the experience that I have described here. You’ll find a flower mandala on the cover, the idea is to channel energy healing and let yourself bloom! 🌻

The book is available on Amazon, now in Spanish too! 👉🏻 Bookstore Here 

Crystal not included lol. That is my favorite malachite - there for love and prosperity. Thank you for reading my blog!

Reiki hugs,

Regina

Pluto: Power to the People

I made several edits to my book this week, Chakra Healing & Magick. Two small things that niggled at me since publishing in 2016, and one conceptual reframing. The book prompts self-reflection in a fun and creative way. 

Here are the edits: 

- Mandala's are in Chapter 3, on creative healing. They are part of Eastern religions, representing the divine, but also the sphere of influence of a particular deity, such as Tara, the goddess of liberation and compassion. In the book, I refer to mandalas as works of art but I didn't go far enough with their potential - we can draw new universes and realities for ourselves. I don't mention the Buddhist practice in the book, but I did revise it ever so slightly to hint at that potential. 

The book’s cover happens to be a flower mandala - connect with your Higher Self and paint your future. 

- Tarot is mentioned in Chapter 4, in the section on clairvoyance and the Brow Chakra. In the book, I suggest learning tarot by starting with the Minor Arcana - giving tips on how to use them, without going into the meaning of individual cards. I left a hook open though, telling people to set the Major Arcana to one side. Then I forgot to tell the reader to come back to the Major Arcana. Not a huge deal. The 22 Major Arcana cards are important for magick and healing, but that will be covered in future books and on social media. 

Tarot is also mentioned in Chapter 7 on crystal magick for self-healing. The cards show us what we need to heal and then all of the tools in the book will help us heal and release. From an astrology point of view, all crystals help us integrate the shadow - what needs healing will point you to specific crystals, as outlined in Chapter 7. 

Btw - I love this deck! Much brighter and based on the classic Rider Waite. 

- I have rewritten the introduction to crystals, talking about the shadow and how we need to accept it to channel all of our power. This topic figures on my blog and on Instagram, but I hadn't included it in the book. It is massively important. No power means no magick, and no traction with everyday life. 

Tarot shines a light on the shadow. All of the energy healing tools in the book will integrate the shadow, but crystals are ruled by Pluto, so they go deep ... 
 

Lastly, this is a magick book, not an energy healing book - it's taken me this long to realize it. Pluto rules magick, transformation, power and healing on the deepest levels. Pluto is officially in the book, and in Aquarius too.

🫶🏻 Power (and joy!) to the people

Amazon.com/author/reginachouza

My intuition tells me that the highest vibration of power is joy - it’s being able to create the life you want to live. And being able to help others. The lowest expression is seeking power over others; that stems from an unhealthy and dysfunctional ego. Heal your ego and love your shadow.

Check out my books below!

I’m the tiger from my nightmares 🔥🔥🔥

Growing up, I had a recurring nightmare where we were having lunch at my grandmother’s house. The wall came tumbling down and a roaring tiger came out from behind. Everyone went scrambling - my aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends who were there for lunch. My 8- year old self ran and hid behind a big black piano. 

It didn’t look like exactly my grandparents' house, for one, we seemed to be eating on large picnic tables. I have a clear image of one of my aunts there, the rest of the people were hazy. The walls were made of carton too; it didn't keep anything back. 

I would stay huddled behind that piano bench, scared that the tiger would eat me. It paced back and forth but it didn’t feel angry or hungry. My inner child was terrified, as you would be if a tiger suddenly appeared in front of you and you were stuck there. 

After a few weeks of this recurring dream, one night I was watching the tiger and I suddenly realized that it was a dream. The tiger wasn’t there. But unfortunately, someone at school had told us that if you died in a dream you would then die in real life. So I hid from that tiger for years…

Decoding Dreams

Fast forward about 35 years and I asked a Jungian psychologist for recommendations on child psychology books. At the time, I wanted to enroll in a counseling masters but I wasn’t sure what style to adopt. 

He recommended an author called Donald Kalsched and I read a book on dreams, nightmares and what they have to tell us. The ebook was super expensive so I got the Kindle in Portuguese 🇧🇷: O Mundo Interior Do Trauma (The Inner World of Trauma).  

My Portuguese isn’t great but this is what I learned. The book is good, by the way: 

• According to Kalsched, the elements in the recurring dream, or nightmare in my case, are parts of your psyche that are trying to protect you, while also revealing an unconscious complex. It's all you in the dream. 

• He calls those complexes archetypal self-care systems (translating from Portuguese) and they have energy and personality in our dream state and unconscious. I imagine they influence our behavior while we are awake too, in knee-jerk reactions? 

• We can revisit the dream to decode it; as far as I can tell, this is part of counseling sessions. My approach was to send healing to that part of me with Reiki and energy healing. 

Here are my insights. I read the book two years ago but I'd forgotten about it until recently, when a song made it click.   

• If you die in a dream, you don’t die in real life. Obvious, but my inner child needed to hear that. Yesterday I started there and then sent healing to the part of me that went into hiding... 

• I‘d already been connecting with Inanna, the goddess of music and war, after a meditation where Katy Perry’s Roar came up. I was trying to make friends with a tiger but my inner child was still terrified. In energy healing, that’s a fragmented part of your psyche that that has to be brought back into the fold, gently. 

• A few weeks ago I realized that the tiger represents someone in my family - it’s a person and an energy that is powerful and that had the intention of standing up for me. That tiger energy was there for all of us. 

• But as a child, and even more recently as an adult, big displays of emotion would throw me off. That energy was terrifying to me as a child, because of the emotion and the tiger image. My adult self isn't scared; I like the idea of a tiger spirit animal. 

That tiger was always larger than life in my unconscious, but when I bring it up and integrate it into my personality, it's amazing. This is what I need to go out into the world confidently and to keep from recoiling. So yes, awesome; the antihero becomes the antidote. I'm the tiger, it's me 🔥🔥

Intuitively, I've felt that tiger walking with me during meditations, and leaping out of my solar plexus chakra, into the world. Here is the song that inspired this aha moment!

BTW -  I’m fluent in English, Spanish, French and I speak a little Italian. I don’t speak Portuguese but it’s similar enough to work it out. Got through a third of the book, just enough to decipher this dream. 

For now my energy healing books are available in English and Spanish.

Tapping Into Your Soul’s Infinite Potential ✨

I had a big aha moment and I want to share it with you. In the past I’ve written about how, astrologically, the North Node’s zodiac sign indicates how we can find happiness outside of our comfort zone. The opposite sign, or South Node, is where we get stuck in an unhappy and self defeating behavioral pattern. Moving from one to the other can be uncomfortable, and often requires self-healing. The tools in my book, Chakra Healing & Magick, will help you break free. 

My North Node is in Leo - it asks me to shine bright and share what I do openly and enthusiastically. But for the longest time, I was reluctant to talk about energy healing and my mystical interests. Showing off felt like a taboo when I was growing up, and the mystical healer side was unheard of in my circle. Owning and revealing that was a challenge; my blog was anonymous for a few years. I was working in a science environment, which made it harder. 

This started to change after I read my first astrology book, even though the shift was slow. The North Node gives us direction, but breaking through our deepest patterns takes time and a lot of self-healing 🌤️

In parallel, I have blogged about the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and how it depicts our connection with the spiritual world, as well as providing a map for the soul’s growth. The Tree is a map of sorts, with ten spheres of light, one in the physical world and the rest in the spiritual, mental and emotional realms of existence. 

You’ll find a diagram below. Without going into the full details here, the bottom most sphere (10) represents the physical world and universe.The upper nine represent the spiritual realm, and aspects of your soul are on all of those, ready to wake up.

The spheres above it, 1-9 represent various degrees of divinity and on a personal level, human consciousness. We become self-aware bottom up. The themes that relate to the bottom four spheres are where we most need healing: relating, mental clarity and integrity, emotions and physical reality…

The upper most spheres (1-5) are where we connect with the parts of the soul that have been least impacted by the trials of human life, and where we find our spiritual power. We need to let go of our human insecurities to get there, including limiting beliefs and attitudes that we’ve inherited from previous family generations and from past lives…

That freedom to be yourself can be found in the 6th sphere - your Sun. This is where we choose our soul’s path over conditioning, and turn our attention to our full potential. Aim for the infinite light, the uppermost sphere and beyond. The direction is what matters, not so much that we reach that place, if it even exists as a destination. 

The Adventure  of a Lifetime 

The Aha Moment. Two days ago I streamed a meditation on my spanish instagram; the focus was healing family patterns. Yesterday I was thinking about that meditation and it dawned on me that your South Node is where your soul enters the world, we find that energy in sphere 10 on the Tree of Life. Your North Node is on sphere #1, what we aim for as we grow and evolve. The ability to break free, through clarity and self-awareness, is found on the sixth sphere - that Sun ☀

There is more to Kabbalah than this, but each of the spheres on the Tree of Life has an archetype that relates to its energy and function. That Sun has two archetypes that help us unlock its light and power. One of them is your Soul; the task is to follow your soul’s path to infinite growth, leaving behind conditioning and limiting family patterns. That said, it’s not about leaving behind everything our family taught us, just the behaviors that may have worked for them in the past, but sabotage us in this life. There are a lot of good things that we can keep. 

Funny thing is I had this aha moment yesterday when the Moon was at 29 degrees Aquarius - my south node and what I need to leave behind. It’s my learning curve, amplified because I’m also a natal Aquarius. The natal chart points to our specific challenges, what we internalize.

So for example, my immediate family, my siblings and parents, are always encouraging and happy to shine. This bit of ancestral programming stuck with me because of my south node, and it’s self sabotage that I’ve been releasing for years. 

Even as I was writing my book, Chakra Healing & Magick, I was self-conscious about it. You won’t believe it, but it’s taken me this long to be comfortable with the magick part being out there for anyone to read. And the book is fantastic, have a look!
