Shifting beliefs and behaviours can be a tall order but sometimes a reboot is needed. Summer is a good time to embark on a reset.

It's the season of backyard parties, fireworks, and more busy days. For some of our pets that can be stressful. and I are hosting two Animal Reiki events in June, focusing on fireworks and loud noises.

We will be discussing strategies to help if your pet if fearful, offering a guided meditation and reiki for both you and your pet.

This is a space to discuss with likeminded individuals and support each other, so even if your pet isn't fearful of fireworks and loud noises please feel free to join us!

Finding inner peace can be hard in this fast paced world, but easy daily rituals can help.

I have been doing some digital decluttering and one amazing thing about that is if you don't regularly clean up your pics and emails they can leave of history of what has been going on in your life. In a few words, "It has been a lot". So, I have decided to lean into the nicer weather, slow down and focus on bringing more joy and peace in my life. Discard and release what is no longer doing that for me (if possible) and if not maybe just reframe it. For example, I don't enjoy cooking, but maybe I can focus on making what I like to eat more tasty. Sort of like in the movie Simply Irrisistible, which I will be happily watching again soon.

I hope you find some peace and joy in your life, no matter how small or what the circumstances of your are.

I hope to share some of my findings over the coming weeks.

Part of my plan over the next few months is to focus more on self-care.  Sometimes, that may look like gardening and meditating, but at other times, I have to reach out for support.

Friday, I had an appointment with my naturopath and had a massage at Silver Spruce Naturopathic.  Both appointments were productive, and I felt good afterward. What I neglected to factor in was that sometimes I need extra time for integration and rest.  A shift usually doesn't happen instantaneously. It can take time to turn your ship around and get back to calm waters. So I'll lean into slowing down and resting.
I also had 2 other distance healing sessions from 2 other energy healers, so it was a bit of a jammed packed weekend.

In June, I will be heading back to Silver Spruce Naturopathic for Community Accupuncture, Breathwork & Meditation plus Breathwork & Reiki.  It is a great way to start the summer. I have seen a number of practitioners here and have found a great source to support my health and well-being.

Another study on Reiki.

A recent study "Complementary Therapies for Chronic Knee Pain: A Placebo-Controlled RCT of Reiki and Mindfulness" by Hanley et al investigated whether Reiki and mindfulness meditation are effective treatments for reducing symptom severity in American adults with chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA), compared to sham and waitlist control conditions. This was a single-site, four-arm, placebo-controlled RCT in which 164 adults with physician-confirmed KOA were randomized equally into Reiki, sham Reiki (Feiki), mindfulness meditation, and waitlist control conditions. Active treatments consisted of four weekly 30-minute sessions. KOA symptom severity, assessed using the WOMAC at baseline, 1-month, and 2-month follow-ups, significantly improved in both the Reiki (p = .02) and mindfulness (p < .001) groups compared to waitlist controls. Mindfulness significantly outperformed Feiki (p = .004). Reiki demonstrated effects comparable to mindfulness (p = .22). Clinically meaningful reductions in symptoms (>30 %) were reported by 55 % of participants in the Reiki and mindfulness groups, compared to 20 % in the Feiki group and 13 % in the waitlist group. High retention (96 %) and successful blinding support the feasibility and internal validity of this approach.

CRR reviewers scored the open access paper, published in 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦, highly (Very Good/Excellent) using the CRR Touchstone evaluation process. CRR Reiki Research Summaries are available to associate and professional members.

Every so often we need to take a day to reset and recharge. Here are just a few things I do to reset.
