Echoes of Light

10/07/2026

What a lovely evening celebrating the launch of The Woo Cycle by the incredible Marlou Cornelissen and her daughter James ❤️📖

I was honoured to support the launch through Echoes of Light by including wellbeing cards in the gift bags, donating a Halo-Flow Biofield Therapy session as a prize, and inviting people to experience my free Bee Breath technique.

As a mum to two wonderfully curious neurodiverse children, this book really resonated with me. I've often struggled to find the balance between answering all of their questions honestly and factually, whilst making sure I didn't overwhelm or frighten them—especially my daughter before she was ready for those conversations.

The Woo Cycle does such a beautiful job of opening those discussions in an age-appropriate, positive and empowering way. It's a resource I know many families will benefit from.

It was also really special to have Ayla with me. Seeing women and girls creating something meaningful together, and watching Marlou and her daughter bring their vision to life, was genuinely inspiring.

If I'm honest, it sparked something in me too. 💛

Our family's journey with neurodiversity—particularly living with PDA autism—has been full of challenges, learning, laughter, heartbreak and growth. Watching this launch made me wonder whether one day those experiences could become a book of their own, helping other families feel a little less alone.

Congratulations, Marlou and James. Thank you for allowing Echoes of Light to be a small part of such a special milestone. I can't wait to see how many families your beautiful book reaches. ✨

What a fab morning networking with these wonderful ladies. If I could go back now and tell my slightly younger self that this kind of support was available, to lift me up and support me, I'd have started my own business many years ago! Thanks Natalie Emma Silverstone for creating this wonderful group to bring like-minded women together. And love my caricature with the roaming AI booth from Glamour Events Hire 🩷✨

🐝 Bee Breath (Bhramari) – A Simple Technique with Powerful Benefits 🐝

In this video, I'm demonstrating Bee Breath, a gentle breathing practice used for centuries to calm the mind and regulate the nervous system.

The technique is simple:
✨ Take a slow breath in through the nose.
✨ As you exhale, make a soft humming sound like a bee.
✨ Feel the vibration resonate through your face, throat, and head.

Why practice Bee Breath?

💛 Helps calm an overactive mind
💛 Supports stress and anxiety reduction
💛 Encourages nervous system regulation
💛 May improve focus and concentration
💛 Creates soothing vibrations that can help quiet mental chatter
💛 Can promote a sense of grounding and inner peace

From a scientific perspective, the humming vibration may help stimulate the vagus nerve and increase nitric oxide production within the nasal passages, both of which are linked to relaxation and wellbeing.

I often recommend simple practices like this because healing doesn't always need to be complicated. Sometimes taking just a few mindful breaths can help us reconnect with ourselves and create a moment of calm in an otherwise busy day.

Have you tried Bee Breath before? Let me know how it makes you feel in the comments! 🐝✨

✨ The Science and Sacred Practice of Space Clearing ✨

Many cultures throughout history have used smoke, prayer, intention, and energy practices to cleanse homes, healing spaces, and places of gathering. While often viewed as spiritual traditions, some aspects of these practices are now being explored through the lens of modern science.

When sage (Salvia officinalis) is burned, it releases aromatic compounds including 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), camphor, borneol, and thujone. These compounds have demonstrated antimicrobial properties in laboratory studies. Research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that medicinal smoke from traditional herbs reduced airborne bacterial populations by over 94% within an hour, with some effects persisting for up to 24 hours.

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), often referred to as "Holy Wood," contains aromatic compounds such as limonene and α-terpineol, which have been studied for their antioxidant, calming, and antimicrobial properties. Its uplifting citrus-wood aroma is often used to create a sense of peace, grounding, and emotional balance.

Yet space clearing has never been solely about the smoke.

Many traditions recognise that our environments can feel different after conflict, illness, grief, stress, or periods of emotional intensity. While science can measure airborne particles and microbial activity, it cannot yet measure human intention, meaning, or the subjective experience of a space feeling "lighter," "heavier," or more welcoming.

This is where practices such as Reiki and intentional space clearing come in.

Reiki practitioners work with the concept of the human biofield—the subtle electromagnetic and energetic environment that surrounds living systems. Although research into biofield therapies is still developing, studies have shown that focused intention, meditation, and energy-based practices can influence stress responses, nervous system regulation, heart-rate variability, and overall wellbeing.

When I clear a space, I combine practical and energetic approaches:

🌿 Opening windows to encourage fresh air exchange

🌿 Sage or Palo Santo to create a cleansing ritual and aromatic environment

🌿 Reiki to promote harmony, balance, and calm

🌿 Focused intention to release what no longer serves and invite in peace, clarity, and wellbeing

🌿 Grounding practices to help reconnect the space with a sense of stability and safety

Whether you view these practices through a scientific, spiritual, psychological, or symbolic lens, the act of intentionally caring for our environment can be profoundly powerful.

After all, our homes are more than buildings. They are the spaces that hold our stories, our challenges, our healing, and our growth.

✨ Sometimes a fresh start begins not with changing where we are, but with changing the energy and intention we bring into the space around us.

If you have curious kids like mine (the 20 questions a minute and philosophy hour at bedtime kind) the Merlin app(https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org) for identifying birds from their songs is amazing on a walk. That's what mine are doing here listing for birds and seeing who's making the racquet.. game changer for walks 🐦‍⬛🎶🥾
