Fascinating insights can arise in a healing session. I held an interesting session recently where it was revealed to me that my client was holding onto someone else's anger in her liver, not her own. In this case anger had been projected onto her by an abusive ex-partner.
It can be very easy to absorb the energy and negative emotions of those around us, especially those we are especially close to and when they are projected directly at us. It's almost shocking how much we carry around without even realising! We may think we have moved on from a past experience but the energy remains embedded in the subconscious mind and energy body where it continues to influence our behaviour and mood.
I'm sure this is why some people have high blood pressure, anxiety, depression or nervous system dysregulation when there is no apparent cause.
Reiki gently releases these unwanted emotions, leaving you feeling lighter and clearer, calmer and more balanced.

I'm looking forward to running this event on Fri 2nd Oct at Loughborough Spiritualist Church (details below).

I'll begin with a guided meditation to open up your psychic senses then talk about how to intuitively read oracle cards for yourself and others. You'll then be able to pair up and practice reading for others in the group. If you have a favourite oracle card deck, please bring it with you, along with a notebook and pen to make note of any messages you receive.

I ran this workshop a couple of months ago in East Leake so if you didn't manage to make that one or would just love to practice your skills again, please feel free to come along and join us. It would be lovely to see you there. x

The Power of Connection when we meet in Circle

The power of these Circles lies in the facilitator’s ability to guide others to reconnect with themselves. When a participant voices what is on their heart, they allow themselves to be vulnerable and heard. As they release, they are creating space for a new perspective and a shift to occur.
Something very powerful happens when women come together in a space of quiet support and non-judgement. Circles are also about feeling that connection to others as we witness what they are experiencing in their lives and understand that we are not alone. So, for me, circles are all about the power of connection on many levels.
We are all equal in Circle. My role is to guide and facilitate, not to dominate the space. My role is to provide a supportive space of non-judgement where people feel safe to share what is on their heart.
As a participant, you may end up voicing something on your heart that you didn’t expect to find there. That is perfect - it shows you have really moved out of your head space and into your heart. It is an opportunity to be truly authentic. Some acknowledge their real feelings for the first time in ages. Some find their voice for the first time; some after many years when no-one else was listening.
Humans need connection. We are sociable animals designed to live in community. Circles meet that primal need for unity and support.

To join the next Women’s Circle on Sat 26th Sept, please DM, email or tel/text to book your place. X

Self-love calls for radical authenticity so I am sharing a blog about my own journey into greater self-love. If I can learn to love myself, you can too.❤

September always has that ‘back to school’/’back to normal’ feeling even if you don’t have children or have to go back to work! Summer holidays are ending, old routines are returning. It’s time to start thinking about yourself again and how you manage your stress levels and overall well-being moving forward.

Maybe you’d like to improve your sleep or feel more calm and centred, lighter and clearer? Maybe you want to ease your aches and pains, reduce tension headaches or soothe tired, achy feet?

If you’re ready to step into Autumn feeling more energised and calm, my holistic therapies are just what you need! Whenever you’re ready to invest in your own self care and well-being again, please don’t hesitate to email me, give me a call or drop me a DM and we can discuss treatment options. X

Delighted to announce that I have received initiation into the Way of the Rose priestess path!

I’ve been doing a lot of inner work over the Summer months to increase my self-love and strengthen the Divine Feminine within. This began with Rose Quartz practitioner training, from where I was led to my ascension journey with the Priestess path. This experience has considerably shifted my energy, boosting the amount of light I hold in my energy body and strengthening my healing sessions and spiritual guidance readings.

If you’re one of my much-valued followers on FB or Instagram, you’ll notice my work feels more Goddess based now with more focus on self-love, self-worth and personal empowerment. There will be new workshops including a Self Love Workshop (Sat 17th Oct), and an Awaken your Inner Goddess full day workshop (Nov or Spring 2027). My Women’s Circles will now include a ritual to honour each season and the gifts of Mother Earth.

I am also receiving attunement to Rose Reiki this month and will be launching this in October. Rose Reiki channels the energy of the Marys (Mother Mary and Mary Magdalen) and the Divine Mother to increase self-love and self-worth.

For those of you who are ready to immerse yourself in a deeper, more powerful 1:1 program to grow in self-love and empowerment, please check out my new Love, Light and Roses program. This includes energy healing and powerful initiations guided by the Goddess energy to help you access your own inner power through love and the light of truth. There is a whopping great £111 off if you sign up in September. Further details can be found here https://helenshortland.com/love-light-and-roses/

Self-love and personal empowerment are essential steps on the healing journey that will really help you access and achieve your greatest potential and more happiness, peace, inner strength and abundance than you ever thought possible. I know because it has worked for me. Before I found the Way of the Rose training, I felt I had reached a plateau with my healing work. Energy healing is fantastic for rebalancing in body, mind and spirit but some of you will be ready to grow further and embody more of the love and light of your soul which enables you to access more of your soul gifts and purpose. I am now able to help you do that. I invite you to join me on this next phase of your growth and become more of the person you were always meant to become.

The world needs more love. Each person who heals themselves and carries the vibration of love has a ripple effect out into the world around them.

Finally let me share with you one of the most amazing quotes I’ve seen in a long time:-

“The world will be saved by Western women”
The Dalai Lama
