WHERE DID YOU LEARN ABOUT HEALING
I was introduced to alternative healing over 20 years ago (1995) and began my healing journey with Reiki in Toronto, Ontario. After receiving my Teacher’s/Master’s in 1998, I explored and experienced many different healing modalities (including Chinese medicine) to help people tap into their own healing force, balance their energy, and heal their ailments. I also became a professional tarot reader and taught meditation/visualization to help people feel an inner sense of peace, increased personal power and a sense of purpose.
Each of us, are ultimately responsible for our own healing… we must take back our personal power to heal ourselves; and at times allow others who have healed themselves to assist us in our own process. We need other people to empower and elevate our sense of well-being and to connect to a higher spiritual source.
Having a spiritual awareness s does not make you immune to dis-ease. This was a huge lesson for me to understand. What spirituality does do however is provide you with certain tools to understand and work with an illness. I’ve also learned that spiritual development is about learning to treat the whole self with love, respect and attention. It means giving the body the things it needs to be healthy.
One of the greatest tools that continually helps me on my journey is astrology. On a physical level it says ‘there’s a real world out there, and you’re in it’. Astrology helps us to find our own individuality and compass in life. North, East, West and South = NEWS! It’s definable and measurable and it never lies. It helps us to finally understand ourselves and move towards a higher level of understanding. When this happens the healing process begins.
When synchronicity leads the way, you are right where you’re supposed to be. Trust you’ve entered this domain for a reason and notice what happens. It is my hope this blog will inform and inspire you; guide and provide you with metaphysical information, to heal your-Self, so you too can help others.

I did swing over to your amazing blog. Wow! You’re ‘ghost’ experiences are awesome and expressed with a gifted and unique writing talent. You had me captivated the whole time. I will definitely be a frequent visitor of http://serenadracis.wordpress.com/
I just discovered your blog while searching for ‘energy analysis of rheumatoid arthritis’, a condition my mother has been experiencing. I forwarded to her the three parts of your article, which I think will resonate with her…
I’ve been a big fan of Caroline Myss’ books for the past few years, and having read her insights I’m now open to reading others’ insights re. similar subject matter. I must say I’m very impressed by your blog. I’m really excited to read everything here in the coming days. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Please send me information about your healing practice, as I would definitely consider coming to you for advice.
Hi O.T.
Your mom is very blessed to have someone as caring as yourself in her life. I am a fan of Caroline Myss too, she has helped me immensely in understanding the energetics of the body. Thank you.

This is the most amzing blog I have ever come across, thanks Robyn for sending me the link!!
Love your blogs – particularly the metaphysics – which I believe is the underlying cause of disease and physical imbalances. Athina
Thank you Athina, 🙂 I agree with you. Our bodies are like an autobiography, holding onto and reflecting all our experiences, injuries, anxieties, worries, and attitudes. When emotions become repressed or stagnate, the body sets off alarming bells that we need to look at, accept and resolve our inner pain. When we accept what is happening and take the time to look within, the body relaxes and responds – so begins the healing process.

Hi,
I am Sumi. Hope u r great.
You really write great articles. What’s energy healing ??? Is it same as chakra healing ??? Will it help in healing Candida along with other regimen like diet, better lifestyle. Please help.
Hi Sumi,
Yes, energy healing (distant healing and hands-on) is ‘similar’ to chakra healing. Energy healing begins at the spiritual level and travels through the subtle energies of the body to the physical level. Your healing experience will be unique to you, because your aura is like a fingerprint or genetic marker that identifies you as an individual. In other words you’re special! There’s no two auras are alike, they’re different in color, intensity, size and shape.
(The reason I emphasized ‘similar’ is because every healer, discovers and develops his or her own unique way of receiving and sending energy. After learning various methods they find what they resonate with best and develop their own unique healing system. So an energy healing may involve chakra healing as well as other modes of healing.) This is what I’ve done, incorporated several healing modalities as well as spiritual-psychology astrology, numerology, to help guide you.
It’s your body that does the healing not the practitioner. The practitioner acts as a catalyst or a conduit for the life-force energy which through the healing, has an accumulating effect on the body. Your body acknowledges when enough energy has gathered to help it move through the different cycles of the healing process.
Once a healing is complete, your job is to listen to the body and let it speak to you. Some healings are miraculous but again it’s not all due to the practitioner. It is the combination of the healer’s energetic intent to help combined with the patient’s wish to be well. The bottom line is that the patient is the one taking control of their own health challenges and making a difference. So, ‘you’ are the one that has decided to take control of your mind which in turn regulates your body; all I’m doing is assisting you in taking control. Taking control is reacquainting yourself with your body .. listening to it and acknowledging it. Healing happens at a wonderful pace when we love ourselves for who we are. ♥
So yes, energy healing may help candida and other dis-eases. If you’d like us to talk about helping you email me at ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com

I just came upon your blog when I was searching for information on arthritis and would like some more information. What is your website? I feel very hopeful after reading your blog. Thanks so much.
Hi Keri,
I don’t have a website as this blog gives me the freedom to share my passion for metaphysics in one place 🙂 If you email me at ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com I’ll do by best to answer your questions.

I was just googling about pain in shoulder blades, as I have recently been on a car accident and came across your blog. Everything you share makes so much sense, I can relate to your reflections so much. Thank you for your wisdom and support. Bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Priya!
I am very thankful for your kind words regarding this blog. I’m thrilled it has helped you and I truly wish you a speedy and complete recovery from your accident/shoulder pain.

Hi I would like your personal opinion be it whatever it is. I am reiki trained just recently all 3 levels and felt great healing energy. My partner is christian and says this is warned against in the bible. Do you believe in jesus or have an opinion on this, please let me know what it is. Please email me. I was feeling totally good about this until he started sharing and then i felt this rush of fear when i was alone and didnt understand if i was just taking on his projection or what and wondered why cant i say god be in my hands etc..
Message privately sent….
Wanted to comment how much good information is here, to look deeper at ant illness pain or injury we have. I am 5 months into a healing process and wish I read some of this earlier. Question. Do you do healing. Take clients, or do distance healing. I would be interested if you do. Best wishes to you.
Hi Howard,
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are deeply appreciated. Since you are presently in the healing process, we could do a distant healing to see how you’ve progressed and where you need to go from here. If you send me an email, at, ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com, and share a bit about yourself, we could start from there.

Thank you ravenstar, I am (was) almost in despair with the level of shoulder pain I’m experiencing the past few months. It has affected my whole way of being, of doing, in my life and in my work. One night last week I got out of bed overwhelmed with pain and what’s been happening to me, I desperation I turned to the computer and your site came up. I have healed myself from many conditions over the many years since I began my healing work. This was about to defeat me, now I see light hope and possibility. From my heart I thank you. Have you published a book? In any case today you have made a difference to my life, tomorrow I see a shoulder specialist, yet I now know I have the ability in my self to further heal. Many blessings to you and on your work. Dolores
Dear Dolores,
After reading your grateful, heart-felt comment (which brought tears to my eyes), I truly witnessed the realignment and/or subtle shift of your energies, and so did you. Turning on your computer, in the darkness of the night, allowed you to connect to others at a higher collective level; the internet brings all our individual contributions into a wonderful synergistic blend. Your happening upon this blog was your search to find a tool to help activate your energy-healing body. Being a healer yourself, you know the body/mind is the instrument through which we experience and explore this world; sometimes we just need a little guidance to amplify the body/mind/spirit communication.♥
I hope your visit to the shoulder specialist also created an infux of new energies.
Perhaps one day I’ll write a book, but for now, those who are looking to vitalize/strengthen their body/mind connection will find themselves navigated to this blog and to many other metaphysical/self-healing websites as well.
Thank you for reinforcing my purpose to this blog ♥
Hugs,

Hi Ravenstar
I had a dream (dreams are extremely important in my life) about some black snake and a shadow man viciously attacking me (didn’t have such dreams since a long while – over ten years). As I well know what they announce another confrontation with my own fears, inner (soul) infected wounds, unbalance, etc, through my outer confruntation with someone in my everyday life, I was wondering who could that be – I have really harmonious relationships far and near. Needless to say, I suffered a totally unexpected outburst from someone really close – it exposed lots of dark things in this relationship, on the pretext it was I who caused all that (well, if I may have done that, it was only unconsciously, unwarily, as a measure of self-respect and self-preservation).
I had some suspicion that the person’s suffering, manifested also in the body, may have inner, emotional causes, so I typed the words in the search engine – it took me to your blog. What a chance to have found you! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you patternsofsouldevelopment, It’s true! Everything we see around us has been created by the energy we’ve sent out. Everything others have to say about us (good/bad) is a reflection of a voice inside us; it’s also a reflection of how they see themselves and the world.
Dreams often alert us to our problems and show us a different perspective; they can also allow us to see into the future. It was good you of you to recognize the emotional components of the unexpected outburst from someone close and search them out. This allowed you to integrate the experience. I’m glad this blog helped you out 🙂
Blessings,

Hello. I just came across your site. I love it ! I was wondering if you have any info on schizopheria please. My son was born metaphysicaly gifted and is now plagued with schizophernia quite severe. How ever i believe there is a reason and maybe even a cure for him. Doctors call it remission. They dont like to talk about it because they dont want to encourage false hope. I understand that but i feel he needs healing and that he can improve his condition . Thank you for your time and wisdom
Hi Florence, Schizophrenia people are extremely gifted and wise beyond their years. The symptoms of schizophrenia are complex, making it harder to pinpoint a metaphysical cause. I’d need to ask you several question to get the crux of your son’s problem. Your son no doubt is endowed with a quick, agile mind and an exceptionally fast learner. This is because schizophrenia may be the result of a hyperactive left hemisphere of the brain.
Mona Lisa Shulz says schizophrenia could be the result of a hyperactive left hemisphere of the brain; she goes on to explain that schizophrenics actually use the ‘right hemisphere’ (creative side) of the brain for verbal tasks, leaving the left side (dysfunctional) or not operating properly. What this results in, is,… “staying too much in the left hemisphere could lead to emotional instability, even though the right hemisphere is the seat of emotion” Awakening Intuition ~ Mona Lisa Shulz
If this book spoke of schizophrenia in great detail, I’d definitely tell you it’s a good read. But there’s only a few pages in the book with a paragraph here and there on schizophrenia.
With schizoprenics is the fear of ‘how can I trust what I see and hear? This is partly from a part of their brain that helps them to understand what they are seeing and hearing. When people have trouble perceiving the ‘outer world’ they often have stronger psychic and intuitive talents in their inner world. In fact, some of what they seem to ‘make up’ are actual pieces of the truth, they picked up with their intuition.
I’m sure you have quite a lot of knowledge regarding schizophrenia, so let’s jump right into what you can do for your son. In Chinese medicine, schizophrenica and others with mental illness are known to have too much “fire” in their system. The fire element is ruled by the heart and small intestine (these are meridians and not actual organs). The heart not only regulates the circulation of blood, it also controls consciousness, spirit, sleep, memory and houses the mind. In this way the heart, together with the liver, is related to the nervous system and the brain. Those with a healthy heart are friendly, humble and warm. But those who’s fire is out of control have symptoms of: scattered and confused mind; excess or no laughter; a ruddy or pale complexion; speech problems; depression; mental illness; loss of memory; poor circulation; weak spirit; aversion to heat.
An example of Fire, in food, is coffee. The taste is bitter and we even add extra fire to the beans by roasting them. Garlic, leeks, onions, ginger, peppers and well as many spices are fire foods. All these foods stimulate the fire element in the blood, increasing circulation and raising body temperature. So too are breads, cakes, biscuits, pastries and cereals.
To calm fire in the body, one should avoid foods that scatter the mind or overheat the body. Too many ingredients in meals, very spicy or rich foods can cause a profusion of mental chatter in the brain. Foods that calm nervousness, and improve mental focus are: oysters; mushrooms; brown rice and oats help to calm the mind. silicon foods (oatstraw tea, barley, oats, cucumber, celery, lettuce, improve calcium metabolism and strengthen nerves and tissue; fruits and lemons calm the mind, mandarins calm the spirit; herbs such as chamomile, catnip, scullcap, or valerian are helpful for the nervous person.
Mineral deficiency is also related to schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, manganese and zinc have been noted to be low in a wide range if mental disorders. Also schizoprenics are often lacking PGE (prostaglandin) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which help to absorb zinc in the body. Giving your son GLA (evening primrose oil) will also help him to increase his PGE. These both help to calm and focus the mind.
I do believe that most mental problems can be healed with the appropriate whole foods. Your son should have cooling foods or more raw vegetables and fruits in his diet.
This is a great site on the Fire Element http://www.5elements.com/docs/elements/fire.html
This site will help you understand what foods your son should try to eat http://www.natureandhealth.com.au/news/are-you-wood-fire-earth-or-metal
I wish you and your son all the best Florence. If I can help you delve a little more, email me at ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com where we talk more privately.

Hi Janice, I just read a part of your blog on lower back pain, wow! It’s like you know me how you describe some of the root causes for my pain and why it persists. It almost brought me to tears as I have been suffering fighting this most of my adult life. Today out of the blue I got a sevre musle spasm under my scapula and down my back. Burning pain. My coworker told me to goggle this pain. I came across your blog almost immediately, like the universe guided me here. Thank you.
Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comment! Synchronicity guided you to this blog, and I truly hope its content was just what you needed to heal ♥

Hi,
I just recently encountered your blog — I’ve been drawn to it a few times while researching a mildly enlarged thyroid.
1.) Thank you. Really fascinating stuff!
2.) As far as the thyroid goes — most all your information deals with hyper / hypo thyroid– from what I know my thyroid is functioning fine — it’s just mildly enlarged.
…..I believe it means I have a goiter in my thyroid?
…..definitely more annoying I think than anything — kind of restrictive and definitely a bit of a worry —
….what would you say? The information on your page is great — I just don’t know how to connect your info with my experience.
Thanks!
Good morning pbcjr,
When your doctor discovered your thyroid was ‘mildly enlarged’ did he or she plan to do more tests and did they sit down and explain to you the cause? By now, you should of had a blood test and possibly an ultrasound as well. I’m not a doctor, so I can only layout the possibilities; your doctor should be the one to inform you of this mild enlargement.
If the thyroid is mildly enlarged in the ‘front’ of the body then possibly it’s most likely a goiter.
An enlarged thyroid can result from inflammation, physiologic changes, iodine deficiency, thyroid tumors, and drugs. Certain foods (rutabagas, cabbage, turnips, soybeans and kelp) can act as goitrogens by disrupting your thyroid hormone(s). Cigarette smoking is also associated with a goiter (cyanide in tobacco smoke, competes with the iodine in the thyroid gland).
Also, if you suffer from hypo-thyroid or hyper-thyroid , you may have either too much or too little of the hormone thyroxine. If there is no infection and as said the visible swelling is in the front of the neck, this could be a goiter.
A deficiency of iodine (lacking in the soil) may be a goiter.
You mentioned (restrictive) and (worry) regarding your ‘mildly enlarged thyroid’. Very good choice of words. Metaphysically an ‘enlarged thyroid’ may shrink or enlarge depending on held back (restricted) emotional words and feelings. No matter how hard we try to hold back these strong emotions, the body will always find a way to pull them to the surface. In this case, the emotions are affecting the thyroid.
Individuals who suffer from an enlarged thyroid may feel ‘stuck’ in a situation they believe is caused by other people. Unable to express themselves, they may feel helpless to do something in a situation. Or an emotional situation is causing old traumas and memories to come to the surface to be healed. Maybe they are trying to hold back life (self-sabotage) or constrict or hold back changes. OR perhaps they want change to happen but are unable to make these choices happen.
Perhaps you are currently undergoing some stresses and tribulations in your life, causing you to question your purpose in life? In this type of situation it’s best to try and be as realistic as possible and stay balanced with your thoughts and actions .. as they will only cause deeper upsets.
As you can see there are several different ways to look at the metaphysical causes. This is because of family and our social backgrounds, as well as who we are individually .. every person is uniquely different.
Have a very wonderful Merry Christmas pbcjr and a Happy New Year ♥
Blessings,

Hi i came across your blog as I’ve had severe left sided sciatica as well as other pain since February and currently unable to work. When reading one of your case studies on a gent, i think was Wayne, with a similar issue you did distant reiki healing on him to help get to the route cause. I was wondering if you still offee this? If so how much does it cost and how do i go about it?.
Thank you for your time.
Helen Thompson

Hi raven
your blog is a great insight ..please keep doing this great service..
I just wanted to know your views about metaphysical reasons multiple sclerosis
and premature ovarian failure …
Hi Sangeetha,
Thank you very much for your inspiration and lovely comment, I most definitely will continue.
In your comment you asked for the metaphysical cause of multiple sclerosis and premature ovarian failure…..
There will definitely be blogs about MS and POF in the coming future. Thank you.
Let’s start with Multiple Sclerosis and look at the medical facts first ..
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of a communication network, approximately 60,000,miles long, which reaches every tissue in the body, using the brain as its master computer. In the central nervous system, each nerve fiber is surrounded by a layer of insulation, called myelin. Nerve signals cannot travel normally without this insulating sheath and with MS the myelin breaks down, causing the nerves to become inflamed. The more inflamed the nerves become, the more they begin to fail, short-circuiting the electrical flow, thus causing nerve inflammation. Damage to the brain and spinal cord is scattered throughout the CNS causing sclerosis, which means ‘scarring’.
Normally, and through time the myelin has the ability to repair itself. But with MS, the nervous system is continually and rapidly short-circuiting, not allowing the body’s natural healing abilities to catch up so healing can take place.
Metaphysically, Louise Hay describes in her book, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, MS as “Mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, inflexibility”. For someone searching for metaphysical causes, this description would be quite disheartening. Her affirmation for MS, is “I no long try to control; I flow along with the joy of life.”
I like Lise Bourbeau’s metaphysical cause of MS in her book THE BODY IS TELLING YOU TO LOVE YOURSELF
“The more serious the disease, the more urgent the message from your body. It’s telling you to reveal your natural gentleness and to stop being so hard on yourself. Learn to let go of any hard feelings you may have toward others and allow yourself to be emotionally dependent – before you become completely physically dependent.”
Our brains are constantly receiving and responding to not only conscious ‘sensory’ information but also subconscious ‘extrasensory’ data as well. When stress and tension overstimulate the body’s senses, this confuses and overwhelms the brain, interfering with the body’s natural energy flow .. ‘balance and movement’. When we are off balance, our bodies try to to compensate by using other muscles. This creates unnatural muscle tension, which affects our ability to move, play, learn and relate to others. Overtime, this can lead to rapid spasms of the area around the tense muscles. This causes the solar plexus to seize up, interfering with the diaphragm.
It’s quite possible people with MS felt unsafe and insecure growing up. When we feel unsafe, we feel helpless, unprotected, trapped, we either withdraw or get angry. Either way, your anxieties grow and your self-expression shrinks because you can only access behaviors that are “allowed” to be seen. You’re unable to be who we are, so you try to act how we believe others want us to be. But underneath your seething! You feel rebellious against the control issues related to your family environment, yet instead of releasing the anger, the resentment, rage and hostility, you keep it inside. Can you see how the acidic buildup would burn and scar your nervous system and immobilize, shrink your muscles?
Look at your self-critical thoughts? How do you bring yourself down? What do you criticize about yourself? What does that tell you about what you expect of yourself? What would happen if you relaxed your standards and didn’t keep such a tight rein on yourself? What are you never allowed to do or be, ‘no matter what’! Can you trace this back to your childhood? If you can, this may help you understand the rules you may have adopted, which by the way are totally outdated and need to be eliminated.
***
PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is when, for some reason, a woman’s ovaries stop working at a very early age, anywhere from the age of puberty to approximately the age of 40. POF can be caused from: autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, chemotherapy, carrier of the X gene and radiotherapy.
Mayo Clinic description of POF
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/premature-ovarian-failure/symptoms-causes/syc-20354683
Metaphysical Cause of Premature Ovarian Failure
My thoughts on POF metaphysically, is about not feeling good enough about being yourself. You may have been belittled so much by others that you’ve suppressed your creativity and your ability to ‘feel’ and be ‘free’. It’s possible that what you’re doing in life right now, gives you no happiness or joy.
You may worry about what others might think of you, so much so that your steer your current behavior by imagining how you will be criticized and treated by others. This type of emotional processing can be so intensive it might lead to depression and feelings of despair about the future.
You may find yourself talking about feeling stuck, of being unable to change your present circumstances. As a result of feeling stuck, the energy flowing in your ovaries and fallopian tubes might become blocked, manifesting physically in the body’s sexual organs or 2nd chakra.
I do think that POF is about a controlling memory.. something you’re still hurt about, angry about and even confused about. These memories need to be healed and the best way is to give these memories the attention and recognition they deserve. Once you do, they’ll lose their power.
Making choices for the betterment of ourselves comes from the 5th chakra, which houses the thyroid. It has to do with claiming your gift, your own ‘creative power’ and loving yourself enough to show others the true you! Don’t wait for others to tell you your special. YOU go out there and make yourself special!
Thank you Sangeetha for your wonderful questions..
Hugs,
ravenstar
P.S. Others views and opinions are greatly appreciated!!
Hi, I have Fibromyalgia & have whole body nerve pain. I suffered sexual abuse as a 3 year old & was more or less invisible to both my parents. Do you think this is an extreme form of body armour? Thanks, Helen
Hi Helen,
I’m so sorry you had to experience such a traumatic event at a very tender age. This would definitely escalate and ‘sensitize’ your nerve endings, anxieties and fears.
It is true that people who suffered some kind of physical violence, emotional abuse, ‘sexual assault as well as neglect’, are more likely to experience disabling chronic pain. Fibromyalgia has been called an “invisible” disability. You may ‘appear’ to look normal and healthy to the outside world, but looks can be deceiving. Even though people with Fibromyalgia don’t have visible signs of disability – such as wheelchairs, walkers and canes, the impact of Fibromyalgia is very real.
For people who don’t know what Fibromyalgia is …
With Fibromyalgia, the body and nervous system react to stress by secreting hormones and enzymes; in fact, they continue sending stress signals to the brain which reacts by sending more stress hormones throughout the body. When this happens our muscles are unable to relax, we are in, what is called a fight or flight mode. The adrenal glands continually pump out epinephrine, the tension buildups, accumulates, the body’s pulse races and becomes locked in a fixed position.
Chronic stress, viruses, allergies and hormonal imbalances have been linked with Fibromyalgia. Other symptoms are, aching, weak muscles, swollen lymph glands, joint pain, headache, sore eyes, bowel and bladder problems, full body stiffness. Psychological symptoms include, confusion, depression, impaired memory or concentration, excessive sleeping, appetite loss or gain and stress.
Helen, you asked if Fibromyalgia is an extreme form of body armour?
I’m not sure we’d call it body armour. Body armour forms a protective barrier around the body … you could say armour ‘numbs’ the nerves, rather than excites them. What happened in the past would be repressed and unresolved deep within your psyche.
Being abused at such a tender age of 3, would most likely cause a ‘heart-stopping mix of terror, helplessness, and horror’ that floods the mind and freezes your body. Growing up, each time a man got close to you, it’s possible he triggered memories of your sexual abuse. This would cause emotional unease and fear of emotional expression … fear of ‘letting go’ ..
(if people or possessions were suddenly withdrawn or removed from your life, growing up, you may of felt that you were losing part of yourself.)
It’s possible the armour you speak of is weight gained to pad and protect your exposed Sacral Chakra?
With Fibromaylgia most people’s boundaries or auric field are way too thin, making them vulnerable and sensitive to everything and everyone in their environment.
Is this what’s happening to you Helen?
(((Hugs)))

Hi Janice, I’m a second degree Reiki healer, travel writer and tarot card reader with an active lifestyle currently struggling with the early onset of diabetes and a new pain in the right hip (bursistis) and the left knee joint that came up a few months ago.Been reading your so accurate, helpful beautiful, painstakingly written blog posts. I do understand what needs to be done, but am not sure HOW it (the healing process) needs to be done for myself. Any advice or direction you may have to share would be so, so welcome, really. Much love.
Hi bangaloregirl,
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerably sharing the challenges you’re facing regarding your health and well being.
Thank you too for your blog (aturquoisecloud.wordpress.com) which explores your passion for one of India’s greatest cities Bangalore. I’ve heard many people who have visited you land claim that ‘India awakened them to the world of the spirit’.
Are you searching for a deeper meaning and purpose in your life? Is it time perhaps to slow down, stand still and admit that you’re feeling a bit lost? Whatever happened previously in your life is it possible it’s no longer the driving force in your life?
Being lost is really and truly the only way to find out ‘where you are’. Perhaps you’re meant to step back and do some introspecting, researching, reflecting, and learning.
You’ve been there for others, giving freely of your time and energy to the point of being overly accommodating. You need to take some time for you, time for your ‘inner you’ where you can search for answers to your most often avoided questions, questions that relate to you, to your life, and your purpose in it. If this sounds true, then the ‘changes’ you’re looking for will take time and you will need to let go of some old beliefs and attitudes too.
Is it a time in your life to understand what you’re feeling moment by moment .. to discover any denied feelings trapped inside that have taken away your freedom. Perhaps you are being asked to release all the unexpressed emotions that have been weighing you down for far too long?
When you experience a bodily sensation such as knee pain, ‘a gut reaction’, hip pain, pay attention to it and see if you can pinpoint the emotional situation that may have triggered it. Look honestly at yourself and make the shift ‘within’ that’s a perfect match for your ailments. You’ll have to do this without blame or judgment.
Is this what you’re looking for? Or is it possible, the need is to dig a lot deeper?
Love

I just found your site today. I notice all comments were made 8-9 years ago. Is this still an active site? I appreciated
what you had written about arthritis. I am presently dealing with this and am very aware of my inconsistent internal and external world right now.
Thank you for posting such extensive posts. Very helpful.
Duhhh. I don’t know how I missed all these up to date posts that are so helpful. Thank you for your obvious availability
Hi Carol Anne,
I truly appreciate both your comments and am very thankful you found posts that interested you.
There will be new articles coming in the near future, do drop by and visit again.

Hi Carole Anne, I appreciate knowing this blog was helpful to you.
Hi RavenStar,
I have been astonished reading your writing about the spiritual implications of health challenges. It’s beautiful and empowering. Thank you.
I experience:
T2 Diabetes
Congestive Heart Failure
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Menopause
High Cholesterol
High Blood Pressure
Mitral Valve Regurgitation (my mitral valve is now mechanical—open heart surgery 2012) am on anticoagulants and always will be for this Earth walk
New: sciatica and it is acute and all-encompassing
ADHD
Major Depression
Arthritis in rt knee
Opioid Dependence Disorder—I have been on suboxone since 2002.
I take many medications, several of which are life-sustaining including warfarin and I am insulin-dependent
I am 49. The past year of my life has literally been searingly painful and frightening wrt symptoms. I forgot to add the menopause onset is about 6 months ago.
Never in my life had I been suicidal. This past year I was. And I was terrified. It has subsided, so thankfully, with the help of a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I apologize for the complexity and length. What I’m asking is if you have written about any of the above issues? I can’t find your thoughts on cardiac issues. I can’t find the index.
Also, are there any other websites where you write? And have you written a book? If so, I greatly desire to explore them. You are a gift.
Dear RachelAnne,
I cannot even imagine what you’ve been through for someone so young. You have undertaken many numerous health challenges in this lifetime. Thankfully, to your persistance and your Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, you are here and very much alive!
Your immune system’s main goal is to protect you, (spirit/mind/body) from harm and I can’t help but wonder if you had any self-protection as a child. The body often communicates through metaphors and clues and you are trying to unravel what each symptom or body-part is trying to convey to you. I congratulate you on this!!! A question, you may want to ask your heart, pancreas, knees, sciatica, is .. “What experience in my past could still be stored in this specific part of my body”?
In regard to cardiac issues, I did write about the heart some years ago, which I’m hoping to update soon. Having an upsurge of emails and distant-healings, I’ve had less time to write on this blog.
When you revisit my site, you’ll see, on the right-hand side of your screen, a search bar, where you can type in what you’re looking for. The search engine will outline all the blogs with your inquiry.
Here are the articles on the heart ..
Article on Diabetes
Articles on Depression
Article on Arthritis
Menopause
ADHD
To answer the last part of your email, there are no other websites, nor have I written a book ‘yet’. However, you are welcome to print pages, and write me directly at ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com if you have any questions or need some extra help.
If I can be of further help RachelAnne, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are all here to help each other ..
Love
ravenstar
What a magnificent and enlightening source of information you have provided here. I thank you for the energy spent to do this blog. Is there an index to access topics of interest? I don’t have a specific concern apart from my shoulder (which I read about), but I’m definitely bookmarking your site for future reference! ❤️
Hi Pegs,
Thank you for writing such a lovely comment. I appreciate knowing this blog has been very helpful to you and that you’ll be returning from time to time.
When you open up this blog, you’ll notice on the right hand side, a box entitled ‘Search’. If you enter the words your looking for, (for example, arthritis) all articles that pertain to arthritis will appear on your screen and you can access them by clicking on the one(s) that interest you. I will endeavor in the future to create a list of all the topics on this website.
Wishing you all the best in healing your shoulder,
Hugs,

OMG,,,,
All I can say is I LOVE YOU! As others have posted I am very impressed and grateful for the very informative information you have posted. You are truly a GEM and I am so happy that I came across your blog. The information you posted on sciatic was very eye opening and helpful. I was in so much pain and prayed this morning for spiritual answers to assist me with targeting and healing this issue and suddenly came across your page. I have been searching on the web numerous times and never came across this information that answered my questions and resonated with me. I’m just siting here feeling so happy, so appreciative, so grateful. Thank you!!!
Hi AC,
I really appreciate your kind, joyous and uplifting comment regarding the Sciatica article and knowing this blog has been very helpful to you. Accept and honor who you are right now! Accepting yourself for who you are is an act of forgiveness; “you forgiving you”. Whatever happened in the past, you did the best you could at the time. Now, you’re more spiritually in tune; you’re able to stand up for yourself and change self-defeating beliefs and old patterns of behavior.
I’m so glad the article resonated with you. Thank you for writing and enjoy this fantastic journey you are now on!!
Hugs,
ravenstar
Thanks so much for your guidance. How and do you offer sessions? Just realised I need some assistance in releasing if possible plz.
Hi Zoe,
Thank you for writing! I also received your email and responded in kind.
Warmly,
ravenstar
Hello Ravenstar!
I am blown away by your blog – came across it when I googled the words Back, hip & knee pain & sciatica with Louise Hay and your blog on both knee & joint pain, and on sciatica came up. I had to scan through the blogs as I’m at work, but everything I read was spot on. I have to find a way to work through the emotions that are driving my physical situation, but unfortunately have no financial resources to get help.
I’m praying that an outstanding legal matter will eventually improve my financial situation. The first person I would approach is you! I believe your help would be of immense value to me
Unfortunately this may take several years, so I’m not holding my breath. But will keep reading and re-reading these two blogs, and any others you may post; and do what I can to look carefully into myself and wherever possible do whatever I can to create a new outlook for and of myself, and work towards a better understanding and a new flexibility in my life.
Right now I don’t know if I should change my mind about what gets me down in my living situation or change my living situation!
Apologies; there is so much to say and really all I wanted to say is you’re amazing!!! I’m so pleased I found your blog. Thank you. Sue xoxox
Hi Sue,
Thank you for your very kind comment on this blog. It’s very possible that right ‘Now’ you are meant to wait (and endure) at this point in your journey.
While in a state of endurance, this may be an important and excellent time for study, research, writing and becoming aware of ‘your own special inner strength’. If you can, spend some time alone, with yourself and enjoy your own company. Allow yourself to feel whatever you’re feeling but don’t force it; take this time to think, feel, reflect and ‘plan’ your route for the future.
Sometimes we can get down on ourselves or even depressed when when we’re unsure of what lies ahead … and us humans have a tendency to think the worst. Whatever fears surface, recognize, experience and express them (journal). When you can really feel your fear, you’ll have a knowing its purpose has always been .. to protect you.
I believe this is a time for planning, not doing, yet. If you’re thinking of leaving a relationship (or a job), admit how you really feel about this person (or employer), relax with yourself … by yourself .. and write or express yourself honestly .. to yourSelf!
What follows, after ‘endurance’ could be an opportunity to take control of your own life. and make things happen!
All the best to you!

Hi,
I just read your blog about MS. I have not been diagnosed officially because of the lockdown everyone is in but, a year ago I had lesions on my brain and neck, my eyesight fluctuates with blurriness, a hard time going to the washroom and, erectile dysfunction (except when I sleep).
I am a firm believer in what you have talked about and I would love to talk more – if you can help me in some way.
I’ve changed a lot over the past few years and I don’t know what to do anymore.
My email is, AlexanderHelpsYou@gmail.com
Please help.
Thank you so much.
Hi Alexander,
I’ve sent you an email 🙂
Somehow, I was guided to you today…what took me so long. Thank you
Hi Alecia,
Thank you for your very kind and honest comment. I really appreciate it.
When you happened on this blog you may have been asking yourself consciously or unconsciously ‘where should I be focusing my attention at the moment.
When you’re in synch with your life-purpose and the energy of the life-force, you are actually in alignment with your path. When you’re ‘present’ in your life, you’ll attract exactly what you need to know. When you’re not paying attention, you are tuned out and not paying enough attention to what’s happening deep inside.
For whatever reason, you may have resisted moving into the unknown OR you weren’t ready to hear the truth. OR, you may of had to learn something more to help you move forward.
The day you came here you were possibly asking your intuitive mind, consciously or unconsciously “where should I be focusing my attention at the moment. And voila, the blog appeared and the article you needed to see jumped out at you. Now, trust you’ll know what to do next when you’re totally focused on what you need or where you want to be.
Thank you again for your wonderful comment..
Warmly,
ravenstar
Hello Ravenstar,

Greetings from Indonesia 🙂 This morning I googled Louise Hay psoriasis and am so glad I did, because I found your blog. I’ve never read something so profoundly, personally accurate about psoriasis and my state of being, and I’ve been dealing with this to varying degrees for 40 years or so. It was kind of shocking, really, and I was moved to tears. I’ve felt increasingly discouraged lately, and a very recent outbreak all over my body reflects that. I desperately want to crack the code and be free of it (and its causes), but the work often feels beyond me. Your blog offered some more clarity, and even some reassurance that it might be possible. Thank you very much for writing it.
Hi Lys!
Thank you for your very kind comment regarding this psoriasis article, I truly appreciate it. Looking at what could possibly cause your psoriasis to plague more of your body, do you think COVID has something to do with this?
Is it possible the COVID pandemic has forced you to ‘slow down’ or be ‘shut-down’, and it has shaken-up some repressed emotions that are trying to break the surface and be released? Emotions that you may not have been aware of before COVID?
Are you feeling restless? Under great stress? Could it be you’re wanting, hoping and wishing to do many things but feel your creative energy is being stifled or blocked?
If you want to ‘crack the code’, the first thing you may need to do is calm down your highly-functioning nervous system and get in touch with your inner-core or inner-self.
Breathe fresh oxygen deeply into your belly. Sense the air spiraling down into your chest and back, guiding the warm stream of air through every muscle fiber and the skin, warming and expanding them all. With each breath you take, your tension released, you feel more and more energy coming into your body…….
Calmly, ask yourself, “what is really going on here (regarding my psoriasis)”? Then be aware of listening (throughout the day or days) to all the fears and judgments that jump into your mind. Feel what you’re feelings are telling you and then let them go .. this will activate your intuition and offer you many answers. Often answers float up from our unconscious when we put our minds onto something else. Perhaps a walk or dancing to your favorite song; watching a movie or reading a great book. Whatever gets you out of your head for a moment .. to let your intuitive self talk.
Use your cell-phone to write down or record any feelings/emotions that pop up or keep a little notebook in your pocket.
It’s quite possible during these unknown times we’re to get to know ourselves, our Soul intentions and purposes .. this way we’ll be able to remain centered in our truth as we listen to our emotions .. not hide them but listen to them; this is a time of great healing .. as you heal yourself, this will influence others to heal as well.
Hugs,
ravenstar

Thank you for this insightful article. Having issues recently with the right side of my body and trying to figure out the deeper meaning. Do you do long distance Reiki currently?

Thank you for your kind comment Have you read Metaphysics of sciatic and peripheral pain?

Dear Ravenstar, I feel blessed to have found your blog while googling information on depression and Neville Goddard and/or Joseph Murphy. I look forward to reading them, they are in issues for 2013. I was hoping your blog is still in action, but as it is March 2022 now, and the last issue of your blog appears to be August 2019, has your blog taken on a different form? Do let me know if it has. I feel so much love from your blog. Sending my love to you. Sue from Canada

Do you do counseling? Have been on crutches/wheelchair going on four years due to sciatica. Am aware of the issues behind it but can’t seem to make headway. Thanks!
Hi Barbara,
It must be difficult and very frustrating to not have any relief from years of having sciatic pain. Yes, I do offer one-on-one counselling. If you’d like to more about this you can contact me at ravenstarshealingroom@gmail.com and I’ll share how we’ll work together.

Hi Vanessa,

Wow, I am so glad I have found your blog site! Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I hope you are still doing the same job and that you are using some other social platform, beside WordPress. I am a physical therapist, but using a holistic approach.
Hello Dottoressa Milly,
Thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness regarding the many articles on my blog. This blog has not retired itself, yet. I am working with many, many clients who have found it fascinating to how their thoughts and inner-feeling/emotions are also mirrored in certain areas of the body. You mention this in an article on your blog somatic2.workpress.com “Sciatic”. I’ve just begun to read the many wonderful articles on your blog. Very interesting!
I do plan, once summer turns to autumn, to begin writing new metaphysical articles on this blog.
Holistic healing helps us regain and retain our good health. No matter what we’re suffering from, its effectiveness comes from getting to the very root of one’s issue, so that the negative memories associated with the symptoms can be sorted out and let go once and for all. You mention this as well on your blog.
When we rejuvenate and reenergize all the cells of the body, it increases vitality, boosts confidence, and allows you a good night’s sleep.
Namaste,
Janice
