It’s been said elsewhere that magic is a change in consciousness. Healing is one such form of magic. Also, magic equally involves both the recipient and the initiator of it, whereby both parties are directly affected.
I am so grateful to be doing healing work, which truly often feels magical. I’m healing while my clients are too. Thank the gods for this calling I’m in (trauma psychotherapist) whilst so much of the world around us is scarily out of control. I may not have much effectiveness directly out there. But, more up close in my life, I’m reminded that I wield good healing power, which I handle with utmost care and respect.
I'm gay, married, Pagan, and Progressive-minded from California, raised by hippie intellectuals. I relocated to Massachusetts for graduate school and never moved back to the Left Coast. My day job is that of psychotherapist in private practice, a profession I love with all my heart and a dream fully realized that I'd had since fifteen years of age.
These are my rantings, reviews, and reflections. If nothing else, I hope you find something worth reading here and leave the rest.

Change of consciousness and healing as forms of magic. What an epiphany and how true it feels when we are fortunate enough to experience them. The effectiveness you create directly out there (planting seeds) shows up one individual at a time and the masses benefit from that healing power being passed on over and over again as your clients share that knowledge. The care and respect you’ve shown me is not only an example for me to follow but ones to pass on. Thank you for being you. You’ve taught me how to trust again one tiny step at a time.
After reading this again, I realized the most important form of trust was for myself. No matter how horrific life can be, that sense that I am OK will break through any uncertainty I may be harboring. Thank you again, Sean, for being there for me in trying times and for those times when life’s reminders of past trauma seep through.
I agree with this very much. One’s own inner wisdom, i.e., Self, is to be trusted. I find that it has taken a long, long time for me to alwas listen to my inner Self voice. I would say that I finally do far more often than not.
