We had such an amazing day meditating, setting intentions, crafting dream catchers, sharing and enjoying together, being close to nature. Thanks all who attended. We will definitely do this or something similar again!
Thank you to Louise at Langar Hall for your magical and most nurturing space 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh how I love this!
If only we lived as freely and creatively as children. And if only we praised each other as much as we praise children! What a life we would have and what a community we would be.

So in this vein, tonight I may well just sing because I can! What about you?

Art isn't something we have to learn; it is the fundamental way humans first process and interact with the world 🌎🎨👨‍🎤💫

This spring the sweetpea reminded me of some important advice for life. Since sweetpeas came up in a wonderful shamanic healing session with a client yesterday, I thought it would be timely to share. So here goes my snippets of interpreted sweetpea wisdom! The sweetpea thrives when it has strong support available - this allows it to grow & climb safely to new heights. It feels its way to and around its support, testing it out, moving both with nature’s forces & its own volition to find the best path to growth. It anchors down with its roots in nourishing soil, seeking the nutrients it needs whilst aiming for the sky & the light of the sun. The sweetpea feels into its abundant nature & flowers only when the time is right without comparing itself to other plants or flowers. The sweetpea has the most delicate natural scent that draws close those creatures who will appreciate it, benefit from it and serve it best in a beautiful exchange. No doubt the sweetpea has more to share, but I wonder how these snippets sit with you & your life right now… So much we have to learn from the sweetpea!

This is my creation from the CATCHING THE DREAM MINI RETREAT DAY at Langar on the New Moon - an auspicious date for intention setting & dream weaving and a truly wonderful & nourishing day. Thanks to all those who came, shared, created, supported & enjoyed, making the day what it was (and it FLEW by!). More photos will be on the way.

I was only explaining to students and a treatment client recently about how, with Reiki, it’s best that we aim to let go of everything to become the ‘empty vessel’ when practising Reiki and allow the greatest flow of healing through. And then today, I saw this on Reiki with Bronwen’s page… how timely! And beautiful.

So when I say letting go of everything, what I mean is, as best you can, in each passing moment of experience, let go of:
- your thoughts
- your feelings
- the sensations in your hands, head, body
- the past, the future, and to some degree even the present
- the expectations of what will be, what you or the receiver may or may not feel/see/experience
- the judgments or interpretations of what could be taking place or what certain things could mean
- your ego (it’s not about you; it’s not about your experience or even the receiver’s- it’s about the sense of interconnection, flow, spaciousness, care, compassion)

In those moments, the magic happens; the strong currents of that which cannot be seen (that which goes by so many names!) flows most freely and strongly; the potential is limitless; the beauty and wonder is present; gratitude & bliss are by-products of the process.

So those practising Reiki at any level, stay focused on letting go and let that be your practice, your superpower, your magic.
✨🙏✨

All it takes to come right back to beauty & peace is a couple of precious quiet hours in nature. Grounding, calming, uplifting. I hope you’ve had some moments of beauty and/or peace this weekend too. Sometimes it’s the simplest things… 🙏

Sometimes we need to be without direction or agenda to step into “beingness” or pure, moving presence. Nature spaces are very nurturing for a ‘meandering’ or, what we call in Shamanic Reiki “Aimless wandering”. It enables a state of being that simply accepts what is, observing what arises and following what drives us in our movement - a heart-led or awareness & interest-led movement through a space. When we allow ourselves such a privilege, sometimes peace alights, sometimes problems can be solved or accepted as lessons and sometimes we awaken something creative, childlike, hopeful or inspired within our being.

So, in summary, I am in full support of taking time for just ‘meandering’. 🙏

Meandering, what a cool word. Moving slowly and without direction, guided by whatever draws the eye.
