How do we diminish the Ego?

I have a funny story to tell ... Tonight I am attending the Seder dinner at the Kabbalah Centre in London. It is part of Pesach, Hebrew for Passover, and the point of the week is to take the air out from under our Ego's wings. The Kabbalistic definition of the Ego is slightly different to the one used in Energy Healing. Think back to those kiddie cartoons where a little angel and a little devil sit on the character's shoulders. The voice of your Higher Self is the Angel. The voice of the Ego is the little devil and it is there to test our resolve. It gives us a choice. When we listen to the angel our soul shines brighter. When we listen to the little devil we get a dose of instant gratification and then a slump.

Many of the techniques we've learned in the Kabbalah Centre are about using self-awareness and behavioural hacks to give the little devil the boot. Having that awareness gives us a choice. It is up to us which one we act on. Listening to the Light (the little angel) makes it stronger. Listening to the Ego does the same. This next week is supposed to give us an opportunity tilt the scales in favor of the Light, not the Ego. This is why I am giving up wheat, bread and all things that rise this week - they are said to feed the Ego. The food we can eat this week is supposed raise our vibration. I have never tried this before and it is an experiment for me. Pesach is said to help us break free of that Ego voice. I will give it a try. =)

As part of the run up to tonight, we were meant to meditate on specific Astrological signs for the past 12 days. Each day corresponds to an astrological sign and we meditate on the positives of that sign. I only decided to sign up for the Pesach dinner last Wednesday so in theory I got the prep work a little bit late. As luck would have it, Madonna (the rock star) had been posting those meditations on her Facebook Page all along. I had actually seen them on her page and had been going back everyday to see what came next. LOL. So even though I didn't know it at the time, I completed most of the prep work for tonight's dinner. What a coincidence!

The meditation for Aquarius was about being a team player, and forgetting yourself. I’m an Aquarius, and sometimes, I find it hard not to be unique lol.

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - 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 a...

Looking into a Reiki Meta-Analysis (Clinical Study)

A few days ago, I came across a Reiki meta-analysis that was published last year. A meta analysis is a very large study that compiles other studies, in this case randomized controlled trials, and aggregates all of their data. As I have mentioned before, one of the challenging things about holistic studies, and clinical studies in general, is making sure that they accurately measure what they intend to measure. Note: I may come back to this in the future to keep refining information and thoughts, and to simplify it. In the meantime, my first impressions : Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Syst Rev. 2025 Mar 27;14(1):72. The participants in these studies were cancer patients, surgical patients and people with chronic issues (including high stress) who were not hospitalized. There weren't enough people in those study groups to generate reliable statistics for cancer vs surgery, but when all of them...
