The Mystic Psychologist

First speakership for 2026!

Thank you Cebu Mary Immaculate College for having me. 🙇‍♀️✨️ May we commit to give and receive healthy and regulated love daily. 🙏

😘

For the past 7 years, energy work has taught me that awareness without regulation can overwhelm, and spirituality without responsibility can harm.

This gathering is an invitation to slow down and explore energy not as power or belief—but as relationship:
with the body, the nervous system, our inner lives, and the world we’re part of.

Rooted in psychology, energy healing, and lived practice, we’ll reflect on how energy shows up across spirit, science, self, and society—and why literacy matters for holistic wellbeing.

This is not about “activating” something new.
It’s about learning how to listen, respond, and stay present.

Valentine’s Day made me reflect on what energy work has actually taught me about love.

Not the cinematic version.
Not the “twin flame” intensity.

But the kind that regulates.
The kind that stays.
The kind that honors boundaries.

Energy work didn’t make me believe in bigger love.
It made me believe in steadier love.

Love that doesn’t require losing yourself.
Love that doesn’t confuse activation for connection.
Love that understands impact matters more than intention.

Maybe real love isn’t about fireworks.
Maybe it’s about nervous systems that feel safe enough to soften.

Today, I’m choosing that kind of love.
With myself first. Then with others.

See you on the 28th for Intro to Energy Literacy. 💕

Currently dealing with a headache and feelings of anger after hearing a distasteful experience of a client from her psychiatrist.
I will not disclose names but I've been hearing a lot of negative comments about this practitioner.

To call the client "dumb" for experiencing anxiety over a personal matter is so low. It's frustrating coz there is a lack of mental health professionals in the country and here's this person trashing the hard work and help we have been trying to make the community more open to.

So please, dear fellow mental health practitioners / helping professionals, let's take this as a reminder.

We are ethically obligated to provide care that is respectful, non-shaming, and grounded in psychological understanding. Labeling a client as “dumb” for experiencing anxiety is inconsistent with trauma-informed and evidence-based practice.

Anxiety is not a lack of intelligence.
It is a nervous system response.

Shaming language in therapy:
• reinforces core wounds
• deepens self-criticism
• damages trust
• increases distress
• undermines the therapeutic alliance

Mental health care is built on respect, beneficence, and non-maleficence.
Words matter — especially in positions of authority.

Clients seek help because they are overwhelmed, not because they are incapable.

Ethical practice requires compassion, regulation, and humility.
Not superiority.

We are also ethically bound to seek supervision sessions and or therapy if we need it.

To clients:
If you have ever felt belittled in a therapeutic space, know this: You deserve care that is safe, informed, and respectful.

Kindness was always cool, wasn’t it?

Before it became a strategy, a brand voice, or something you perform when people are watching.

Because of what I’ve lived through, what I care about, and what I feel called toward, I’ve naturally found myself in the wellness space. As a younger, more naïve version of me, I assumed this world would be safer, kinder, and more authentic. I looked up to people I believed were healed, awake, and enlightened. I put them on pedestals, and I think many of us did, and still do.

But being here myself, amongst some of those individuals, has been a quiet wake-up call. Beyond the treachery behind closed doors, kindness, I’ve learned, can be used as currency or camouflage. As a way to get ahead while avoiding accountability. Someone can speak gently to you and still be cruel to others. Someone can quote scripture, chant mantras, or host ceremonies, while leaving real harm in their wake.

Not everyone who’s done plant medicine, balances their chakras, or talks about love has actually integrated the wisdom. You can be “spiritual” and still bypass your shadow. You can preach compassion while refusing to take responsibility. You can sound enlightened and still lack emotional honesty.

Real kindness isn’t aesthetic, and I note that by asking to make it cool again, we might encourage more performances of it. But true kindness isn’t loud and doesn’t need an audience.

It shows up in how you treat people when there’s nothing to gain. In how you speak about others when they’re not in the room. In how you handle conflict without spiritualizing your way out of discomfort. In whether you’re willing to be wrong, listen, and repair.

Growth isn’t measured by rituals completed or language mastered. It’s reflected by how safe people feel around you, especially when their trauma and wounds aren’t speaking. By how you hold power, and how honestly you meet the parts of yourself that still need healing.

Kindness was always cool. We just forgot it was meant to be lived, not displayed.

When spirituality avoids accountability, it stops being healing.

Practices that refuse to look at power, harm, and social context can unintentionally enable bypassing, silence, and abuse—especially when leaders or teachers are placed beyond question.

True energy work asks for beneficence.
It asks us to consider impact, not just intention.
It asks us to stay present with discomfort, not escape it.

If a practice disconnects us from responsibility—to self, to others, to society—it is not awakening. It is avoidance.

After years of practice, one thing became clear:
energy work needs literacy, not just lineage.

Understanding energy isn’t about learning more techniques.
It’s about learning how to relate—to our bodies, our emotions, our histories, and the systems we move within.

When energy work is grounded in awareness, consent, and integration,
it becomes a support for wellbeing—not an escape from it.

This is the conversation I’m opening next.
An introduction to Energy Literacy for Wellbeing—
where spirit meets science, self meets society, and responsibility meets care.

More details soon 🌱

Not as rules.
Not as mastery.
But as reminders I live into again and again.

Just for today, I am open to what life brings me.
I let go softly what I do not resonate with.

7 years of Reiki 1 today.
I’ve learned that practicing Reiki isn’t about power or purity —
it’s about responsibility, presence, and relationship.

I’m returning to it slowly, honestly, and with care.

✨️

My reiki-versary also means Happy Birthday to my Reiki Master Teacher, ! Thank you for the gift of you. 🙇‍♀️💕

Here's a cup of cacao in your honor. 🍻

There are two clever ways the mind tries to avoid pain: ‘intellectualising’ and ‘rumination’.
One turns emotion into theory, the other turns theory into worry. Together, they make us feel like we’re making progress, when really we’re just circling the same ache in slightly different words.

Intellectualising often begins with the best of intentions. It’s the mind’s way of trying to make sense of what hurts, to bring order to chaos. We analyse our heartbreak, our shame, our fear, hoping that if we can understand it, we can control it. But understanding isn’t the same as healing. We can know everything about our pain and still be standing outside it, unable to move through.

Rumination starts when the mind begins to panic. It’s when we replay the same scene, the same conversation, the same regret, again and again, as if thinking about it one more time might finally change the ending. Rumination isn’t really thinking. It’s the mind trying to do with logic what only gentleness and time can do.

Both habits come from care. We ruminate because we want to make things right. We intellectualise because we want to make things clear. But both are, in their own quiet way, ways of avoiding what we don’t want to feel.

Moving beyond them doesn’t mean we stop thinking. It means we start thinking differently. It means letting the mind serve the heart, instead of trying to replace it. It means allowing the ache to exist without rushing to turn it into an idea or a conclusion.

Sometimes the wisest thing we can do is stop intellectualising. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is stop ruminating.

To simply sit with ourselves, without trying to solve or explain anything. To let things be unfinished for a while.

Because healing doesn’t come from finding the perfect answer. It comes from giving ourselves permission to feel what’s really there, and to trust that this, somehow, is enough.

An Ibaloi doctor and author is advocating for medical pluralism where traditional or indigenous health practices are embraced and integrated with biomedical practice to enhance the overall healthcare system.

Dr. Ryan C. Guinaran, Executive Director of Doctors for Indigenous Health and Culturally-Competent Training, Education, Networking, and Governance (DITENG) Inc., and Country Program Manager of AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said that improving the health of indigenous communities requires a shift towards health equity and the integration of traditional healthcare systems.

Guinaran, from Benguet, identified two main points for improving indigenous peoples’ (IP) health: achieving health equity and the mainstreaming of traditional healthcare systems into the biomedical system. He stressed the importance of acknowledging IP rights as a foundation for these efforts.
