Yesterday, Lissa and I had the blessing of participating in a virtual group healing/prayer circle with Mojo Mentor and Pink Goddess of Intuition Caroline Diana Bobart.
Who knew a healing circle was possible over Skype? From Berkeley and Marin County to Wales, we connected our voices over the Internet (will miracles of technology never cease?). I can tell you that the moment Caroline invited us into a sacred space, I wasn’t sitting in front of my laptop anymore, but in a warm, comfy room with my two goddess friends.
Calling in the Healing Energies
Caroline opened with a prayer (by the way, Pinkies, for our purposes, the words “prayer” and “intention” are interchangeable), asking that our egos step aside to allow us to be clear conduits for the purest, highest and most sacred energy to come through us. If we wished, we could also invoke a healing being whose energy resonated with us, like Jesus, Buddha, Mary, Kwan Yin, etc. I called in a personal healing master to whom I had been introduced earlier this year.
Caroline then introduced us to our hand charkas – imaginary apertures in the centers of our palms (everyone has them) capable of transmitting healing energy. We practiced opening and closing them, like flowers blossoming and then closing into buds, in order to understand how each “setting” felt. Then we were invited to imagine a large globe of sparkling gold healing energy above our heads. We tore a hole in the bubble and allowed the energy to flow in through our crown chakras, through our heads, throats, down to our hearts, where it branched off and flowed down each of our arms and out our hands. We filled the center of our circle with this healing light, inside which each of us would bask during our healings.
Intending, Giving, Receiving
Caroline invited us to each think of an intention for the healing… something for which we sought help from the Universe and each other. When our intentions were set, we were invited to sit in the center of the circle, one by one. Lissa went first. Caroline asked her to imagine a rose that represented her intention for healing. She described the rose for us, and then, upon Caroline’s invitation, verbalized her intention to receive a healing around balance in her life. We acknowledged the intention, and Lissa was invited to place her rose in a basket that was also inside the circle (yes, we’re still in our imaginations – but I’m telling you, it was vivid!), representing her release of the intention from her own hands and out into the Universe.
Now it was time to imbue our dear friend with golden healing energy. After Caroline repeated the prayer asking that our egos take five and that we be clear channels for sacred healing energy, we held up our hands, opened our chakras, and invited the sparkling gold energy to flow through us. The backs of my hands tingled and my palms were warm. After a couple of minutes, the sensation died down, indicating that the necessary energy had been transmitted into Lissa’s space.
A prayer of gratitude followed, after which Lissa gave us feedback on her physical sensations and emotions during the healing. We held space and listened to her words, acknowledging the sacredness of her own experience, and not trying to analyze or yank meaning from something that was ultimately her own.
The process was repeated for me, and then for Caroline. General feelings reported from the group about their healings were of release, easing of tension, relaxation, love, contentment and peace. And remember – neither Lissa nor I are Reiki practitioners or trained clairvoyants. And yet, the two of us were able to perform a healing for very intuitive Caroline that was as powerful for her as our own experiences were for us.
Being Clear
Having taken some clairvoyant classes in the past, I had been told that such rituals were not to be done without the oversight of an experienced intuitive such as Caroline; however, she assured me that when our intentions are clear, pure, and focused on healing, groups of Pinkies can do this and heal each other – both virtually and in person.
So what do you think, Pinksters? Ready to try it? We’re likely going to be giving this a whirl in person at next week’s Pink Posse meeting – the theme of which is Owning Surrender. What better way to do this than to send our wishes for ourselves out into the Universe with the blessings and support of a loving circle of Pinkies? Also in the cards is a virtual healing session much like this one open to the entire Posse – stay tuned!
Pink healers and healees all,
Joy, Lissa, and Caroline

Thank you again, dear
By Lissa Rankin on Saturday, 09/26/2009 at 7:58 AMThank you again, dear Caroline, You are such a blessing to our community, and we continue to sit in awe at the gifts you have to share and the love in your heart. I can't wait to do this with the Pinkies. Imagine, taking the love we have here in written form and reconfiguring it in new ways. Exciting!
I just wanted to say how
By Caroline D Bobart (not verified) on Saturday, 09/26/2009 at 7:54 AMI just wanted to say how wonderful it was to be able to share this experience with you, Lissa and Joy. You both took to it like ducks to water! It's just great that you were able to share our special experience with all other Pinkies here.
It is truly a sacred thing to be able to share our hopes, dreams, prayers and wishes with others and to have them witnessed. It is even more powerful to have the open-ended prayers of serenity and sincerity of a group behind us as we release these to the universe to go off and get created in their own time and way.
As we do this we can then turn our attention on opening our hearts and lives to receive either our exact desires or situations which are even better than we were able to imagine possible at the time.
Thanks so much Lissa and Joy. With all the interest that Pinkies have shown on the "Pink Prayer Requests" thread, I'm so looking forward to sharing much much more of our inherent Pink gifts in special cirles like these with all.
lots of love
Caroline
Thank you Alice. Having you
By Lissa Rankin on Saturday, 09/26/2009 at 6:08 AMThank you Alice. Having you and your healing vibe in our circle will be powerful :)
Lovely what people can do
By Alice (not verified) on Saturday, 09/26/2009 at 5:28 AMLovely what people can do together - it's true that together healing energy is stronger than ever. We are all connected, and intention is a powerful thing! How beautiful that you all felt it working, and there's much more to come from this, I'm sure! Looking forward to being a part of it.
Lovely that you shared your discovery and experience with us, Lissa, Joy & Caroline.

Thank you Joy, for expressing
By Lissa Rankin on Friday, 09/25/2009 at 12:00 PMThank you Joy, for expressing our experience so beautiful. And ginormous thanks to Caroline, who lead this beautiful healing experience. We are going to do this LIVE in our Pink Posse gathering (the topic is Owning Surrender). I can't wait....
That's suuuch a great idea
By Joy Mazzola on Friday, 09/25/2009 at 11:33 AMThat's suuuch a great idea Trish! We were thinking of bringing the exercise into our next Posse meeting around Owning Surrender. Group intention is so very powerful and transformative. As for the hands (in both pictures) I believe those were photoshop tricks; however, considering what magic is possible, they could very well be real! Peace and love.
PS. The photo is spectacular.
