Interview With Dr Judith Orloff, Medical Intuitive
February 25, 2010 by Akemi · 3 Comments
What if there was a way to find a disease that is so early in its development stage that even today’s top-notch medical exams can’t detect? What if we could use intuition to find out the hidden emotional causes of a disease? And what if the intuition further helped us determine the best treatment for our ailments?
Today’s interview guest is Dr Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and medical intuitive. She is the author of Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life
1. How did you find your gift as medical intuitive?
My new book Second Sight tells the story of the struggles and triumphs I’ve gone through as I’ve learned to embrace my intuition. As a child I had premonitions about deaths, illness, earthquakes which upset my physician-parents greatly. They finally forbade me to express my intuitions and dreams at home so I grew up believing there was something wrong with me.
It was later, as I write in the book, that I met mentors and teachers who helped me embrace my intuition. I went to medical school on the basis of a night dream that told me I needed to have the credentials to legitimize intuition in medicine.
2. Medical intuition is still a new area and not many people are familiar with it. Will you tell us how it works?
Medical intuition is the ability that I (or other medical intuitives) have to sense physical, emotional, and spiritual issues in the body and it’s energy field. I tune in and pick up impressions, sights, smells, sounds, knowings and senses of energy that give me information.
I am an intuitive empath, who is someone who senses other people’s energy in my body. I’ve had to learn how to not absorb it, but only sense it, otherwise I will get exhausted. I teach these techniques in my book.
3. What do you need to know about the person to do the medical intuitive reading?
Their name.
4. Are there any daily practices you do to keep your intuition sharp and improve it further?
There are five steps to developing intuition that I write about and practice myself. I get quiet everyday to meditate and open to the mystery. I want to feel the presence of spirit and grow larger than the linear mind. This is sacred to me. I am receptive to visions and intuitions that come to me.
I also go into trance every night in the bath tub. Immersing myself in hot water, then letting go, puts me in trance and I am happy and open in a world that is more comfortable to me that the material. Also I listen to my body’s signals all the time.
5. What do you think is the major causes of dis-ease?
Genetic predisposition to certain disease states, stress, poor diet, lack of energetic balance in the body. Sometimes it’s just karma–you do everything right but you get cancer. Then it is always a spiritual lesson to learn about healing on a deep level and open the heart in the midst of physical challenges. Very difficult at time, but a luminous journey. As a psychiatrist and intuitive, I work with people to help them see the light in these states.
6. Do you recommend certain healing modalities?
Energy Healing mixed with intuitive / spiritual psychotherapy and massage or deep body work is a magical combination. Always the focus is on mind/body/spirit.
7. What is your vision of the future of healthcare and the role of medical intuitives?
My prediction is that medical intuition is the new wave of medicine and it will be incorporated into every aspect of healthcare in the next 100 years. I feel so privileged to be a forerunner of this time. My mission is to bridge intuitive medicine with traditional medicine.
My takeaway
I so agree that some health conditions are karmic. I’ve seen them in my Akashic Record Reading clients, who lead healthy lifestyle and still get health conditions. And it takes energy work, not pills, to improve the karmic health condition, I think.
I also resonate deeply that some health challenges are there for the learning. It is only our judgment that make the disease “bad” — the truth is it is a certain condition, and it may well lead us to a higher level of spiritual awareness and love.
Modern medicine has done its wonders, bringing cures to diseases that were formerly thought to be terminal and contributing to the longer life expectancies. However, we are also starting to see its limitations. It has become too non-human, all about exams, pills, procedures. I think medical intuition is something that overcomes this problem.

Yes to Me is now Real Life Spirituality
February 18, 2010 by Akemi · 4 Comments
It was a Monday morning. I was thinking of my day while wiggling in the comfort of my bed. Suddenly, it hit me. “My blog needs a new name.”
I started my blog two years ago. At the time, I just quit my corporate job and was starting my business. I was starting to live fully in an authentic way, saying a big “YES!” to the part of me that I had repressed so long. I wanted to, and still do, help others do the same — to say the big YES to be wholly present in life rather than living in autopilot and hoping something would change someday. So I named my blog “Yes to Me”.
I love this name, but I also feel this blog has grown up out of this name. What would be a good new name?
The main message of this blog is that we are all spiritual beings living in the physical bodies, so everything in life is spiritual. Spirituality is the start and the end, not a special area in life. Yet I see so many people who want to pigeonhole spirituality. I also see many people who want to improve their spirituality but scared with the weird gurus and their teachings.
We need spirituality blog that relates and works in real life! That is what I’ve been writing about really. So, the new name “Real Life Spirituality” is born. (Confetti flying. Cheers 
) I hope you like the new name as much as I do.
As of this writing (morning of Feb 24th), I have completed the link redirection from yes-to-me.com to reallifespirituality.com. So all the bookmarks and links you may have or see on other sites stay good. I am trying to figure out how to redirect the feed, which seems difficult — so while you are here, please take 15 seconds to subscribe to this blog at this new address (free, of course) either by RSS Feed or by email. This guarantees you won’t miss future articles on Real Life Spirituality.
My web designer and I are also working to change the header and favicon. They will be updated in a day or so.
Thank you for your readership and I hope to see you again on this new domain.
Starseeds: Nihals (Indigos)
February 11, 2010 by Akemi · 26 Comments
Nihals and indigo children
Nihal is in the constellation of Lepus and is sometimes called Beta Leporis. Not much is known about how Nihals lived in their home planet because Nihals are new on the Earth plane. Adult Nihals are quite rare. More and more Nihals are incarnating in the last twenty years or so, and they are often called indigo children.
The term “indigo children” was coined in the 1970’s by Nancy Ann Tappe. The definition, however, is ambiguous. For Nacy Tappe, who has a brain condition called synesthesia, the indigos have indigo (dark blue) life color. Life color is not the same as aura according to her explanation in the book The Indigo Children Ten Years Later: What’s Happening with the Indigo Teenagers!
Because most people don’t see life colors as she does, the term indigo became confusing. Some people think indigos have indigo auras. Again, because most people don’t see auras, this is still confusing.
My understanding is that indigos are highly psychic souls that are incarnating at this time to assist the humanity to evolve further. The indigo color is symbolic because it is a color of the sixth chakra, or the third eye. The third eye helps us see the truth our physical eyes cannot see. And because of this, those with open third eye tend to be direct in expressing the truth they see. They are innovators and frontier warriors who pave the way for those who come afterwards. Worldly conformity and compromise have no value to third eye vision.
Again, I see these indigos are coming from Nihals. I am not sure if all indigos are Nihals and all Nihals are indigos, but I see strong correlation.
Nihals’ ideal
Nihals value individuality and have strong self-esteem. At the same time, Nihals are deeply committed to the betterment of this world. These traits are quite obvious even when they are physically young. Parents and caregivers of Nihals need to treat them with respect as small adults. Don’t attempt to control them by fear, guilt, and shame based tactics — Nihals can see through these tactics.
In The Indigo Children Ten Years Later, there is a story contributed by Jennifer M. Townsley, Ed.D. about the first graders she met in an art class. She asked them, “What are you here to do?”, they responded with answers such as:
- To do good in our world
- Learn all I can learn before I leave
- Make a difference
- Make friends
- Help people
- Have fun
Notice how mature their understanding of life is. She describes how happy and excited these children were producing these answers, smiling and laughing.
Then she continues to describe what happened when their teacher, thinking they lost focus, asked them, “Class, what are you here to do at school?” The same children lost their enthusiasm and she could feel their disappointment. The teacher proceeded to help the children make answers such as:
- Do spelling
- Listen
- Don’t talk
- Sit and listen
Indigos (Nihals) don’t respond well to this kind of constricting approach. While the exact ideal Nihals are here for remains to be a mystery, I think the answers these children provided show the vision of their ideal world.
Nihals’ gifts
Nihals are highly psychic. They can see the fears adults try to hide. This often put them in difficult situation. Many Nihals grow up quite disappointed about the existing world. Still, this is a blessed gift Nihals have for themselves and for this world.
I also want to mention the special health challenges Nihals have. When Nihals decided to come to Earth, they first sent some forerunners to incarnate before their mass incarnation. These early Nihals, now well into adulthood, find it extremely hard to live in a physical body. They often have confusing chronic health issues. This kind of health issue is probably better treated energetically than with medication.
Nihals incarnating in a more recent years don’t seem to have this problem. However, many indigos are diagnosed for ADHD. As a non-healthcare professional, I’m a little confused about the ADHD diagnosis and treatment — I hope they are not treating Nihals just because they are different.
Nihals’ challenges in loving relationships
As explained earlier, Nihals are deeply caring but their ignorance or naivete of social rules make their social life challenging. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however. Nihals present a new way to relate to others, free of social stigma and based solely on individual’s uniqueness.
Because adult Nihals are rare, I simply don’t have much to say about their romantic relationship.
Nihals’ challenges in career and finance
Nihals often have problem with authority. They can see the lies of authority and refuse to bow to authority just because it is the way of this society. As a result, working in the corporate world for the boss is very difficult for Nihals. Their unconventional way of thinking and living also make it difficult for them to fit in. I think Nihals are best to start a business of their own.
Nihals are here to destroy what is not working so that we can build something new. This is not limited to their work life, but because our work is such a large part of our life, it would be best both for Nihals and for us in general if Nihals take the courage to be on their own, challenging the old system.
Nihals’ role on Earth
As more and more Nihals incarnate, they are changing the way we live and relate to one another. The old social system that separate us by criteria such as age, gender, and social status must go. This destruction phase come with pain, but it is a necessary process in creating the New World.
I am excited to watch how the young Nihals grow up to change this world. (Photo credit)
