"…I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

Grateful for these moments of connection, breath and soaring voices…🙏🩷🎵

What Most People Don't Know About Reiki - The Heart of the Practice: Breath, Meditation and Mindful Touch 🤍🌿

For many, Reiki is something they’ve heard of but don’t fully understand. Most people associate it with a calming hands-on practice, yet beyond that there is often uncertainty about what it actually involves.

What most people don’t know is that Reiki is more than what is seen during a session. Traditional Usui Reiki also includes meditation practices, breathwork, and subtle hand techniques that point to a much broader system of awareness and presence.

In our new blog article below, we return to the heart of the practice - exploring meditation, breath, hand positions, and traditional techniques that form the foundation of Reiki.

Many people think they can't meditate because their mind is too busy. 🙉

The truth is, meditation is not about stopping your thoughts. It is about learning to relate to them differently - with a little more awareness, kindness, and ease. 🩷

You can read more in our new blog post exploring why group meditation often feels easier than meditating alone, and how shared presence, gentle guidance, and community can help support a regular practice.

You can read more in the blog below...👇

Of course, some people genuinely prefer to meditate alone, and that can be a beautiful and nourishing practice. But if you've tried meditating by yourself and found it difficult to stay consistent, settle your mind, or simply know where to begin, a group setting can offer a different experience.

There is something powerful about gathering with others who are also choosing to pause, breathe, and slow down for a while. You do not have to figure it all out by yourself. 🙏

At HeartSong Normandie, we offer both individual and group meditation sessions, providing different ways to explore practice according to your needs.

Our group offerings currently include:

🌿 Morning Meditation with Ema
🎵 Weekly Mantra and Meditation Circle

Whether you are completely new to meditation or returning after some time away, you are warmly welcome.

Further details can be found below…👇

We look forward to welcoming you...

🌿 "By simply relaxing, being quiet, breathing, and having a heartfelt intention to help another being, you create a sacred space. In this space, all things are possible." 🌿

Kathleen Prasad

Reiki is often described as a gentle practice of relaxation and presence. It offers an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life, allowing space to rest, breathe, and simply be.

Many people come to Reiki because they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a little more calm. It can be a gentle place for your nervous system to rest and be supported.

There is nothing to achieve and nothing to get right - just a quiet, welcoming space where you can relax, receive, and reconnect with yourself.

Whether you're completely new to Reiki or returning to your practice, you are warmly welcome at HeartSong Normandie.

I offer individual Reiki sessions and Reiki training workshops by appointment. If you're curious and would like to experience Reiki for yourself, I'd be happy to answer any questions. 💛

I look forward to welcoming you.

Ema 🤍
Usui Reiki Master Teacher

🩵🌿🌸 New Meditation Sessions at HeartSong Normandie

I’m pleased to be offering two new meditation sessions at HeartSong - both designed for complete beginners, or anyone looking for a calm, supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and feel more at ease.

🌿 Morning Meditation & Relaxation (Group Sessions)

Weekly drop-in sessions in a warm, welcoming shared space.

These sessions are for anyone who would like to relax, slow down, and explore meditation in a gentle and accessible way. No experience is needed.

Many people feel they “can’t meditate” because their mind is too busy. These sessions gently support you in working with the mind, rather than trying to stop it.

🌿 Sessions include:
• Gentle grounding to arrive and settle
• Guided body scan relaxation
• Simple mindfulness and breathing practices
• Loving-kindness and self-compassion meditation

🩵 Tuesday & Sunday mornings
🕤 9:30 - 10:15 ☕ followed by tea & coffee

You are welcome to attend occasionally or regularly - there is no commitment.

🌸 Learn to Meditate (1:1 Personalised Course)

A gentle three-session introduction for complete beginners or anyone wanting to build confidence and simplicity in their practice.

Over three relaxed 60-minute sessions, you’ll be gently guided through:
• Mindfulness of breathing
• Guided body scan relaxation
• Loving-kindness and self-compassion meditation

Each session is tailored to you, with time to ask questions and explore what feels most helpful.

🌿 Three personalised 60-minute 1-2-1 sessions
🕰️ Ideally over three weeks - flexible scheduling

This is a calm, supportive space - there is no right or wrong way to meditate, and no experience is needed.

About Me 🩵

I have over 20 years’ experience supporting people in therapeutic, retreat, and community group settings. My work is rooted in mindfulness and compassion, and in creating gentle spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience a sense of ease and belonging.

I hold an MA in Group and Intercultural Psychotherapy and a BMus in Music from Goldsmiths, University of London. I am a Usui Reiki Master-Teacher, and I have trained in meditation teaching, yoga nidra, qigong, Yin Yoga, and sound therapy.

Alongside my professional work, I maintain a daily personal practice that includes meditation, reiki, yoga, mantra, and Buddhist mindfulness and loving-kindness practices. These continue to shape how I hold space for others.

What matters most to me is offering spaces that feel safe, welcoming, and supportive - where people can simply arrive as they are, without pressure or expectation.

If you would like to know more or book, you are very welcome to get in touch.

I look forward to welcoming you...

✨🤍🎶 SA TA NA MA: A Simple Practice for Calm and Clarity ✨🤍🎶

One of the mantras we return to again and again in our meditation groups is SA TA NA MA - a beautiful mantra from the Kundalini tradition that reflects the natural cycles of birth, life, transformation and renewal.

Practised as part of the Kirtan Kriya meditation, it offers a gentle way to quiet the mind, reconnect with the present moment and find a sense of inner balance. Many people find that just a few minutes of practice helps them feel more grounded and centred in the midst of everyday life.

I've just shared a new blog exploring the meaning behind this ancient mantra, how to practise it, and included a guided meditation if you'd like to experience it for yourself.

🌿 You can read more about the SA TA NA MA mantra and kirtan kriya in the comments below...👇

If it resonates with you, you're warmly invited to come along to one of our mantra meditation groups or explore an individual session. There's no expectation and no previous experience needed - just curiosity and a willingness to take a little time for yourself.

If you'd like to know more, feel free to send us a message. We'd love to welcome you here at HeartSong.

Ema & Peter 🙏🎶🤍
