Diary of a Psychic Healer

  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.  Years later, 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 musicia...

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 t...

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 citizens...

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 fri...

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 luc...

  Shadow healing! This was the first in a series of guest posts of mine, on an astrology blog.  I’ve republished a few of those articles here. *** "The way we approach anything in life is often shaped by our background, and as an energy healer, it is not surprising that natal astrology has provided not only a tool for understanding myself and how I interact with the world around me, but also a roadmap for self-healing.  Studying our natal charts reveals many secrets, one of which brings the realization that: My Shadow Is Someone Else's Light.  ​ We all have feelings, desires, and qualities within ourselves that we hide from others, and often, hide them so deeply that we may not be aware of those qualities within ourselves. Eventually, we meet someone who displays those qualities openly - perhaps ambition or frivolity - and  it rubs us the wrong way. What we dislike in others is often a reflection of the qualities within ou...
