Are you feeling stuck as a healer?  Not sure where to go next or just feeling demotivated?

As a healer one of the best things we can do for ourselves is to continue learning about our craft.  Whether we choose to work on and master one modality or look at adding a new modality to our tool belt, both avenues are good places to start.

I personally have chosen to work with multiple modalities and will continue to add to my tool belt throughout my life.  As a student of Life it is important for me to be open to new things and to keep in my awareness that I will be always learning.  This allows for change and a continuing flow of new energy to surround me.  If I find myself feeling stuck or demotivated it can be a signal or sign for me to start learning again.

When I talk about starting to learn again, I don’t always go to something new.  Many times I will go back to the modalities I have and re-learn or re-read or search out new information from different practitioners/teachers.  As a Reiki practitioner/teacher, one of the things I tell my students is to read many different books on Reiki, look at classes with different teachers, as well as sitting in on a class they have already taken with me.  There is always something new to learn or a different perspective to see.

If you aren’t drawn to one of the modalities in your tool belt, then seek out a new one.  I think one of the things that we as healers can get stuck in is feeling like we take too many classes.  That we can allow other people’s perception of “oh..you’re taking another healing class?…aren’t you done yet?” get to us.  There is no “done”. It’s time to let go of that energy and free ourselves of the perceptions of others and realize that we will ALWAYS be learning.  Learning is great, it’s exciting, it’s freeing!

Where do we start once we have decided to start learning?

It’s important to be drawn to or excited about what you are going to learn.  This will make that first jump back into learning easier.  If starting something new overwhelms you, then look at what you already have in your surroundings.  Pick one of those books on the shelf that you haven’t read yet and start reading it.  Choose the one that jumps out at you.  Call up your teacher(s) and ask them what they have going on in the next few months and see if there is something that peaks your interest.  Ask them to sit in on a class you have already taken.  There are many places to start.

Start here.  Which healing modalities peak your interest?  Let me know in the comments below!

 

Looking for a setting to share your ideas on a variety of books with topics including manifesting, the metaphysical arts, energy healing and more?

Myself and co-creator Jodi Nelmes have decided to start a book club where like-minded individuals will get together on a monthly basis and spend a few hours discussing that month’s book.  We will play with exercises presented in the books and share our thoughts and insights.

We have decided that the first book that will be read is “Ask and it is Given“ by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Seating is limited to only 7 people, so reserve your spot now!

Do you notice that after a day of being at work or shopping in the mall that you feel drained and have no energy?  Or how about when you have just had a lunch or dinner date with someone and feel like you could use a nap?  Sometimes we feel angry or frustrated or sad for no apparent reason.

These circumstances could be because you aren’t protecting your aura (or energy body) properly.  This is something that many of us are not aware of and is equally important in creating energy and vitality as eating well and sleeping properly are.

If you are interested in learning how to protect and clear your aura on a regular basis, then join me on January 12th, 2014 for this workshop.

Aura Clearing and Psychic Protection Workshop

In this workshop you will learn

• how to clear and maintain a balanced aura
• how to protect your energy in low vibration/chaotic environments such as shopping malls, meetings and events.
• about chakras, as well as touch on the different colours of auras and their meanings.
• how to protect your energy at home/workplace when seeing lower vibrational clients and/or visitors.

If you are looking to feel good, create a more vibrant energetic life as well as a happy home then this a great workshop to get started!  Space is limited so reserve your seat early.

We are all unique.

We all have gifts and talents that differ from each other that make us unique in what we do and who we are.  One of the things that I believe in and have told my clients, friends and family is that when picking a healer / mentor / intuitive; pick someone that you resonate with.  Choose this person because you are drawn to them, have a feeling of familiarity, trust, or comfort with them.

You might not even know why you are drawn to that person in that moment, and this is OK.  By being true to who you are, and allowing the process of finding your healer to happen, elevation happens.  You open yourself up to new possibilities, healing and vibrational elevation/evolution.

Don’t rob yourself of this experience.

Which takes me back to the fact that we are all unique.

We all have gifts and talents that differ from each other that make us unique in what we do and who we are. 

I create an environment and surround myself with people that are supportive and celebrate our success.  The competition we create is within ourselves, not with others.  I don’t believe in fear based competition. 

I believe there are enough clients for all the healers out there and there is a perfect healer for every client.

My clients come to see me because I offer something different, something that they are looking for and resonate with on a soul level.  It isn’t because of a flyer in the mail, a coupon or discount.  Not because my rate is higher or lower than others.  Not because I am better or worse than others.

For example, if you don’t want to make changes, take 100% responsibility in your life and what you have created thus far, have ulterior motives or are looking for a way to entertain yourself, then I am probably not the right intuitive healer for you.

I can help you get to where you need to be, to help you find yourself, and give you clarity on all aspects of life.  I can help you raise your vibration, release your limiting beliefs, and lead a more positive fulfilling life.  If that is what you are looking for, then I am most likely the right healer for you.

Every client and healer is at a different stage in their evolution.  It is important to find one that you resonate with, so they can help guide you in your evolution.

People want to know who they are and why they are on this earth.  We need help to learn what our Major Lessons are.  One of the best ways to do this is to have a Numerology Chart prepared.

Numerology is the science of numbers or vibrations – everything is made up of vibrations.  This universal law applies to people as well as things and it can be used to determine a great deal about individuals.  Every number carries its own vibrational influence and its own characteristics.  As a Master Numerologist, I use rules and formulas to determine how these influences come into play in our lives.  Numerology gives us a mirror to the soul and we find all the experiences life can present.

Our numbers reveal a direction, a map for achieving happiness and success in our lives.  Numerology provides us with the opportunity to see ourselves better, to realize what talents and abilities we possess, what our limitations are, what we are here to do and how best to accomplish our destiny.  We can learn about situations and people, what forces rule us, what our greatest area of power is, the cycles of our entire life and the vibrations governing them, our challenges, what each year holds in store for us and what is best for us to do and not do.

Not only can Numerology tell us these things about ourselves, it can also tell us the same things about the people in our lives.  Through Numerology parents can understand why their children behave as they do and can therefore handle them more effectively and help them as they grow and develop.

Numerology is a tool that can be used to help achieve greater harmony between you and those you love.  No matter who you are or what you are doing.  Numerology can be used to better your life and your relationships with others.  The Charts I prepare, bridge the best of two worlds – the material and the spiritual.  By teaching others to attune themselves to the highest aspects of every vibration, there really is no limit to the heights we can achieve.  We each have the ability to be anything we wish and Numerology can help to show the way for reaching our goals.

 

Carole lives in Cocagne, New Brunswick and prepares charts for people all over the world.  She is a Reiki Master, an Intuitive, a Master Spiritual Numerologist and a “Modern Day Goddess”. In conjunction with her intuitive powers, she incorporates the tools of a Numerology Chart to help promote insight within individuals and their life situations.

To receive a chart from Carole, you can contact her through her website, Spiritual Rejuvenators.

Over the past year I’ve become more aware of how I want to handle the relationships within my life and one of the most important aspects of a healthy balanced relationship is healthy balanced communication.  What is healthy balanced communication?  From my opinion, it is a person communicating their needs constructively from a whole brained balanced state.

There are many different ways to communicate to your loved ones, and unfortunately many of us only communicate our needs when we are angry or hurt.  We usually do this in the heat of the moment, which from my point of view isn’t the best time to communicate.  We hold things in and bottle them up rather than dealing with what IS at the time it happened, which leads to emotional explosions.  We get angry, or sad, depressed and many of us don’t ask the simple question of why?  Why are we feeling that emotion?  What was the trigger?

One of the first things we can learn to do is to become more aware of why we feel the way we do.  What is making us upset, angry or sad?  Where does that come from?  Is that an old trigger from the past that we haven’t dealt with?  Is it something that is reoccurring that we need to look at?  How can I look at the emotional event in a whole brained way?  What can I learn from it so that in the future I know how to communicate what I need, when I need it, and in a constructive way?

Yes, it can take work and time at first to become more aware, but it is work that pays off in the end.

Once we have started becoming more aware, it allows us to become more clear on what we want out of our relationships.  We can then look at what we have and what we would like to improve.  The best way to improve on what we have, is to communicate to our loved ones what our needs are.  I’m not talking about telling or demanding to you partner what you want, nor trying to communicate how it needs to be in the heat of an argument.  Really, the best scenario would be for the two of you to sit separately and become clear on what you want out of the relationship, then come together, listen to what each of you have to say, and then communicate on how you can both work together towards building a positive, supportive relationship.  This is the basis of any relationship, whether it be with a partner, family member, or friend.

It isn’t about sitting there and talking about what you aren’t getting, re-hashing an argument from 12 years ago, or telling the other person what they need to do.  Yes, it is important to recognize the past, learn from it, and move forward.  Many of us get stuck in the past though.  We can’t change the past.  We can only change the present moment.  Work on the present moment so that you can change the future.

What do I mean by constructive communication or whole brained communication?  Well, it is communicating with someone else on a balanced level.  I don’t want to say without emotion, but it is in a state of mind that isn’t emotionally triggered.  So, we aren’t angry or hurtful or sad or crying or even from a state of submission where we we feel below the person we communicate with.  It’s a balanced state of equality, and it comes from a place of love.  I feel that communicating with love is paramount.

I’m not talking about telling them you love them and by showing them affection while you communicate.  It comes from place of being, and for many people it requires work to get to that state.  However, the more we practice being in that place of love and living in that state, the easier it is to get there.  Practice self love, compassion and non-judgement.  These are the emotions that get you to that state, from my opinion.  From that state of being, you can begin to manifest the relationships you want and the communication you use to get there.
