Selena Go Go Go

We often see psychics in movies, and they have a message that is super urgent and needs to be delivered to someone far away - say, a public figure, or to alert the world about a disaster, etc. One of my tutors in psychic school would tell us that those psychics probably lacked grounding. 

They did tune into the collective, but there wasn't anything they could do about it. Grounding is a spiritual practice that brings your energy, your intuitions and your messages down to your daily life. 

In school we learned to ask for grounded, specific, practical and timely messages - things we could pass on, and that would be useful to the person listening. My psychic school days were in 2010-2013. 

Fast forward five or six years - I wasn't expecting to receive ungrounded messages anymore.

So imagine my surprise, when my intuition started telling me that I had to give Selena Gomez a reading urgently. I laughed it off, and thought, this had to be my imagination. Selena Gomez is a well-known artist and musician. The message kept coming back, intensely. I was to give her a reading, THAT DAY. Was I supposed to message her??? I didn't think so. Even so, I checked out her Instagram page - she had tons (tens of millions) of followers. I must be wrong. 

So I did what any of my former classmates would do - I grounded myself, cleared my energy field and brushed off that intuition 🌺

Well wouldn't you know it, a few hours later I received an inbox from an acquaintance whose name is Selena. She is not famous. I thought her last name was something Norwegian sounding (won't share it here). It turns out, like many of us in Latin America, she has two last names - mom and dad's. Her Dad's surname is Gomez, her mom is from another country. I had never registered the Gomez - my eyes always caught her second, Norwegian sounding surname ... 

She was thinking of making a career move and wanted to know if I could see her for an energy healing session in the next few weeks. I told her I needed to see her that day 😂 I won't go into the session obviously, but one of the visuals that came through in the guided meditation was of her working at a specific organization. The feeling I got, was that she should check their job postings every day because something might open up. The very next day, they posted a role that fit her. I couldn't believe it. Neither could she. She applied for the job. 

💜 Intuition speaks of possibilities - in this case, a vacancy. As I have mentioned elsewhere, whether or not we act on intuitive messages, and take the job (if offered, in this scenario) is up to each person. One of the things I didn't like, about doing intuitive readings, was the expectation that you would tell people what to do. It doesn't work like that, for me. 

This was before the pandemic - I don't do psychic readings anymore and focus only on energy healing and astrology. But I wanted to give an example of how intuition can be mind bending. It gives us a heads up, but what actually happens is not set in stone. Don't trust what comes to you blindly, rather, see how you can bring it into your life in a sensible way. It helps us. I have had several of these events, or crazy coincidences happen. Here is one from my corporate days. There have also been plenty of times when I was wrong - to be transparent. 

And looking back, I was grounded, because the psychic messages were intended for a regular person, not a celebrity LOL. The perfectionist in me feels strongly about that. 

Another Selena (Quintanilla) That We Love 🌺

*Privacy Note: The first name and last name coincided with another super famous person. I changed it on my blog for privacy reasons. I have no association with Selena Gomez, the singer.

A Defense of Skeptics

Hi there! I am an energy healer, astrologer and clairvoyant, but I also have a skeptical side. Here are my thoughts on skepticism. 

• There are places where it’s not needed. Creativity, imagination, art, love, trusting your heart. Finding happiness. 
• There are places where it is useful. Nobody wants to believe everything they come across. Skepticism = discernment. 
• There are places where it is necessary. A lot of things in life need science to back them up. 

That is from a functional point of view. From an ego point of view, if we build our identity on being skeptics, or not being skeptics, that keeps us from distinguishing between the three scenarios mentioned above. 

I enjoy talking to skeptics, atheists, etc. In some way, it’s easier to have a conversation with them, than with religious people who are scared of what I do. Skeptics are often open minded - I have to admit I wasn’t that open minded when I was starting out, and a lot of that was due to that rational identity. Would people laugh at me? Would they think I had lost my mind. I was worried about how I would be perceived by others. 

I keep reminding myself that one of my philosophy professors would say that if we worried about how we’d be perceived through our writing, we’d lose our readers. Funny enough, the people who convinced me to open up and take my spiritual path seriously were scientist friends from college. My uni had a big science and research focus (I was in humanities, not science). View it as an experiment, they suggested. 

Eventually I got to the point where I thought, ok I don't need to worry about what skeptics think of me, as long as I am still able to apply skepticism in my life. Apply it, but don't let the ego stop you.  

You’ll find 16 years of blog posts on this website. It’s my journey into the spiritual and energy healing world. There has been a lot of intuition and imagination on this journey. I have explored lots of energy healing techniques - all of them are complementary to medical care. As you’ll see from reading some of my posts, I worked in marketing at a healthcare company and have 3+ years of product development behind me. 

The science element brought a big learning curve, when I started that job. I learned a ton. I respect medicine. I respect science, but I also love and value intuition, imagination and spiritual practices. 

Thank you for reading my blog! 

Reiki hugs, 

Regina

(Not) Unexpected News!

So a few years ago - two years ago, I wrote a post about how Uranus brings unexpected changes in my life. Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and liberation. Uranus transits to my natal Moon have brought relocations. At the time, I was applying for European citizenship but I didn't want to mention it. Well, it's finally come through! I don't know how this will translate into big changes, other than I hope to travel more and teach energy healing remotely. 

When I applied, Uranus was exactly 120 degrees away from my Natal Moon at 19 degrees of Capricorn, and 120 degrees from the part of my natal chart that relates to my home - and what counts as home. My 4th House, or 4th pizza slice, as described on the Astrology 101 page. 

Uranus is currently traveling through my 12th House of past lives, family baggage (or gifts!). That is part of what has become activated. The 120 degree planetary aspect - the trine - is about things falling into place with ease. The new citizenship came through the family line, thanks to changes in ancestry laws. My natal Moon is in the 8th House of my natal chatt, which relates to family legacies, among other things. 

I was notified yesterday! 

Today we have an eclipse in my 4th house of home life. I am not looking to move, but home just became 27 countries larger than it was before (that's how it feels). I feel like the eclipse might be a coincidence, but it starts a six month period that redefines home. Being able to travel and work is a dream of mine. The remote work possibility for so many countries is exciting 🙌🏻

I might update this blog post in the future with technical details. Intro to planetary transits HERE. Uranus takes 84 years to circle through the Zodiac; its touch points are few and far between. Uranus moves the collective - and as a slow moving planet, it’s easy to track transits. I have had Uranus transits that were unique to me, like this manifesting story from 2019.

Competition in Spiritual Businesses

I saw a quote by Mark Manson on Facebook a few days ago: “Boundaries only piss off the people who benefited from you having none.” It got me thinking about how we manage personal and professional relationships. In tandem, I’m taking an Internal Family Systems psychology class that guides us through recurring relationship themes in our lives - what part of you relates to others in different situations. I’m not a psychologist, but it helps a lot to look at our patterns. Otherwise we get stuck.

So, I had a problem with a colleague years ago and I never wrote about it - without going into the details, when I was a healing student, I had a lot of fun in class and made good friends (which was one of my main interests). The people who share your interests become your friends. When this becomes your job, as it did for me, the people who share your interests could be your friends, but they often turn into competitors. And that gets sticky. I have found myself experiencing a lot of the frictions that I used to have in the corporate world. It’s because at the end of the day, even if we run spiritual businesses, we are still all human. Let's say you are into runes or tarot or crystals or chakras - and you want to teach a class on that. Other teachers and healers might not like it.

I used to address this by doing a bit of a tribute to friends who focused on themes that I wasn’t working on professionally, but that I had spent a good amount of time on, personally. So for example, if I was talking about runes, I would mention so and so. When I began posting about those themes online, or doing a class, some would respond well (most did). Eventually I realized that I didn't want to do tributes anymore, and I stopped. It wasn't the best approach as it kept me from owning my experience, and in hindsight, it was not the best friendship dynamic. I think it was a coping mechanism, after I had push back. Spirituality is a business now, and that’s ok, but it’s also a way of life.

I share so many things online. For example, are visual posts there to catch people’s eyes, or just that I am interested in that topic? It’s inevitable to step on people’s toes. I still approach what I post online as sharing what I am into, what I have learned, and what I am doing at the moment. I consider the classes I teach, and energy healing sessions as my job. If it's a class, a ton of time goes into prepping it. If it's a Facebook post, it might be a thought that went through my mind. If it's a one-to-one session with clients, the energy healing technique will be one where I spent a lot of time training, to offer that service. 

I want to write about things I’m into - you have to let that guide you. It’s part of being authentic and it makes it fun too. There isn't a huge difference between what I research, what I study for pure enjoyment and what could turn into a business opportunity someday. Blogging is my way of getting ideas out there. Social media is different; it gets you out there, in front of people. I had strong push back after branching out. 

It’s common, but we do have to maintain our boundaries. I didn't appreciate this dynamic at all, I found it unsustainable. If it's clear that a relationship has become strained, maybe it's best not to reference them anymore. I also realized I didn’t want to build on what I might have learned from them. It depends on the situation, as so much of what people share is common knowledge. I have deleted learnings and content that referenced colleagues, while still exploring all of my interests. Honestly, I would rather focus on my own work. This feels like the best and the cleanest way forward. This is the only long-standing process that I hadn’t blogged about.

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real (see here) - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview. 

So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.

 

My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is always a factor with opportunities. In terms of manifesting - I haven’t had out of this world results ...

With regards to our vibration and personal energy, I do think we resonate with people based on who we are, and how much we believe in ourselves. I often use affirmations to boost my self-esteem, focusing on things that I know, for sure, that I do well (I'm a good writer, and I was proactive at getting things done) ... as I have mentioned elsewhere, if you believe in yourself, it's likely others will believe in you too. We all have strengths to rely on, focus on that. 

Is there any truth to manifesting? 

So, I have had success manifesting opportunities out of thin air (even things that seemed out of reach) but looking back on it, those things happened when the clock struck three, astrologically speaking. 

For example, I wanted to be featured in a big magazine and when I looked at their guidelines, it said they took submissions from writers who were already in similar magazines. Not the case with me -  I let go of that particular dream and focused on something else. Shortly after, my intuition told me to celebrate every time I saw a published author in a magazine. And would you know it, a few weeks later, a writer from that very magazine reached out and asked me a few questions about what I do! They saw a guest post of mine on an astrology blog, I never actually reached out to the magazine myself. 

I was mentioned in the magazine- briefly in print and online too. That was crazy. I thought I manifested it myself, and maybe I did, to a degree. But later, while looking at astrology transits to my chart, I noticed that the day I received the email from the magazine, Uranus (the planet that rules my Aquarius Sun) was exactly 120 degrees away from my North Node in Leo - the part of my chart that pushes me to shine, even if I don't want to ☀️ The planet Uranus is about things happening out of the blue. That 120 degree angle (the trine) makes it easy for things to fall into your lap with ease & luck, while other angles bring tension. The North Node sits outside your comfort zone; it's not something you chase. You may even avoid it lol. We usually do. 

 

So maybe I manifested it myself, maybe the planets did - and maybe it just fell into place when the time was right. The thing is Uranus takes 84 years to circle through the Zodiac, and funny enough, there will only be a handful of days in my whole life (6-9 days) when Uranus would have been in a position to send something out of the blue - relating to my North Node. That email landed in my inbox on one of those days, which was crazy, in terms of coincidences. The online article was published when Uranus was 1-2 days away from my Part of Fortune, a transit that happens once in your life. It hasn't translated to material success (the article), but maybe it's an indication of what is possible. And what to focus on, too. 

So, it didn't change my life, but it happened. The active part of the manifestation, for me, was to let go of envy, and/or the feeling that I wanted something that I'd never be able to experience. I think that is how the magick happened - to be honest. 

That magazine reached out when Uranus was retrograde, so moving backwards, and it makes you rethink what you want to do or become. The day it trined my North Node again in forward motion, I was doing something that I loved but never expected - teaching Reiki to little kids. Also LEO energy - playful, heart centered, and creative. 

What if manifesting is about who we become?

This had been my take all along …My books are on energy healing and working through our beliefs and emotions - Chakra Healing & Magick looks at healing ourselves so that we're in the frame of mind to take advantage of opportunities that come our way. Namely, with Fire (confidence and heart), Earth (practicality), Air (logic) and Water (empathy). This ties in with the astrology chart. You can see what Elements are already at play in your life and personality. Dial up what's missing.

The book is available on Amazon below:

So as you can tell, I think it's for real, and not, at the same time. A lot of what happens is up to us. That is a good thing 🍎🍎🍎

Thanks for reading the blog! 

Regina 

>> Quick Note: I asked someone for feedback on this article. They told me that I didn’t name the magazine - COSMOPOLITAN - because I was still shying away from that (healthy ego) Leo energy lol. I didn’t expect that. So today, I’m ready to shine. Feb 20 2026
