I'm sure that I've read in 'Reiki News' about this technique and also in William Lee Rand's book 'The Reiki Touch', however it usually relates to the benefits for individuals with Dyslexia, having suffered a stroke or those with MS or Parkinson's - this has a lot to do with the balancing of the left and right side of the brain I believe.  I've found that this exercise calms me down, makes me

As a channel for Reiki we work with so many different indiviudals with different approaches to life.  We can offer suggestions, recommend things that might work, or have worked for others, lend books, suggest web site reading etc etc but at the end of the day we have to back off and let them find their own path.  When someone asks for help, they get it in whatever way Reiki energy, Universal

This is a photo of one of our beautiful fishes.  There's something so surreal about their beauty. I guess fish came into my life about a year and a half ago, as with most things I soon found out that they were introduced into my life for a purpose. Initially and with a bit of a crash, bang, wallop the code word was 'FLOW' That's what they do, isn't it?  fish flow.  That is apart from the ones

Some time ago, I spoke about using a lovely visualisation that helped me to clear the stuff that was holding me back.  All the stuff that was in the past, way back, sat there all unhelpful and stagnant.  Well I've kept doing this exercise and the effects have been amazing.  It's as if I can slow down and accept myself for exactly who I am.  I don't feel I have to match some unwritten criteria

Blessings to you this fine, fine day. There's something so crisp and fresh about today and inside me there's a growing spark of excitement. Here are some photos of a Reiki blessing ball I made.  I vowed to increase my creative production this year and right away I'm on the case.

I wondered how I'd explain about reaching this years 'Word of the year'.  Last year I decided that resolutions were no good.  They were so restrictive that my will to stick to them only lasted a few weeks, a couple of months max.  I was very hard on myself too, so, non achievement hit me hard.  Enough of this I declared last year, having read about other lovely individuals who had tried and

Hi and welcome again to another sparkling and awe inspiring week. I've recently been working a lot with the chakras and opening up to my creative abilities, mostly experimenting with different media, it's all good.  Just the word 'Experimenting' works like a magic wand on my inner thoughts, allowing my inner creative spirit the chance to jump up and down and grab anything to hand that makes

Had a flash of insight the other day that I'd love to share with you.  Inspriation seems to be coming in thick and fast at the moment, so I'm siezing the opportunity to put it to good use. Find yourself a comfortable place to have a bit of quiet time. I suggest you ground and centre yourself first in preparation.

I returned from my Djembe drumming session, parked the car and looked up.  This is what I saw! A ray of sunlight must have caught something and reflected onto this stone wall.  It was a reflection of an illuminating moment during my drumming session.  Illuminating it certainly was. I started drumming a few weeks ago, so not long, but instantly felt that Reiki was constantly my companion while

At last I've made it through to the time when I can uncurl and reveal myself strengthened and ready to walk forward.  OOOOOhhh, I've learnt so much about myself since the long, long time ago that I last wrote my blog.  But it's all good.  Today's photos are related to bounding through the gateways that have just opened to me.  My whole being's just gone woosh and I've given myself the push I

Hi there, a cold and frosty morning again!  no snow though, a huge blessing. This week I've been drawn to making things, drawing, writing and even knitting, something I haven't done since I was in school.  I've discovered that knitting is a wonderful form of meditation!  It also reminds me of the amazing power my hands have to transform thoughts and dreams into reality.  It seems there's a

For the last week it's been evident that there are a number of really important changes coming to the fore.  changes have been happening throughout the year, lots of them!  But now it seems it's down to the grand finale  It's time to put all that I've learnt into pracice.  Every day seems to call to me "what have you been taught about this situation, what are the tools you can use".

I've been shown a number of ways of clearing the aura, prior to starting a reiki treatment or as a stand alone exercise.  One of the methods that I like using involves using a fairly chubby single terminated quartz crystal. I start the session as I would normally, this involves grounding - imagine roots coming down through the bottom of my feet and into the ground, I affirm 'I am grounded' Then

I've been feeling quite dehydrated and thirsty over the last few weeks and was given a top tip to try by a very lovely friend of mine. Get yourself a glass of water and give it Reiki.  Ask that the Reiki flow with the water to wherever it's needed.

We've talked about Grounding and centering in the last few blogs.  I think of these two exercises as being the foundations to my Reiki practice, there is one more - Protection. To ground, centre and protect are the three elements that keep me safe and well every day.  Even if you only spend 5 minutes doing these three things you'll notice a difference in the way the day goes.  I like the fact

It's important for all of us as humans trying to live a spiritual life, that we have a solid foundation.  Grounding provides us with this firm foundation for our spiritual growth.  If things get a bit hectic it's easy to feel unsteady, a bit giddy, light headed and unable to keep your feet firmly on the floor.  Grounding helps keep us steady. Earth energy is heavy, powerful and grounding

Lots of people talk about 'centering', but what is it? Centering means to align our body and mind, taking the time to be in the moment, to focus and calm ourselves. Everything is made up of energy and there are hundreds of names for this energy.  Two types of energy that we're concerned with when centering are 'Earth' energy or chi and 'Heaven' energy or chi, two of the primary components

Very often when I meditate I see a beautiful quartz crystal.  Within this beautiful representation of all the forces of the cosmos there lies a rainbow, as bright and colourful as you could possibly imagine.  It's a powerful image which fills me up with love.  In my opinion each of us must interpret the impressions we get from dreams and meditations from our own perspective, for each of us

To find the universal elements enough;to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter;to be thrilled by the stars at night;to be elated over a birds's nest or a wildfower in spring -these are some of the rewards of the simple life John Burroughs

As I look out on the blazing sunshine, I can't help but take a deep breath of appreciation.  There's a sense of Autumnal crispness in the air, strands of spiders silver threads and pearl like dew are strewn about the garden dancing on the casual breeze.  It excites me, the day's just introduced itself and there's an expectation.

It's the weekend! We don't often get time to do something for ourselves so here's a quick method of giving yourself some attention, love and Reiki.

Lie down in a comfortable position with your arms out by your side.  You can do this either on the floor or on the bed.  In my own experience doing this exercise before I go to bed makes me feel a bit too wide awake to go to sleep, but it's through experience that we find what's right for us and you need to assertain for yourself what feels good and what doesn't.  Remember there aren't any

When using Reiki it's possible for you to pass a gift to someone, something that's right and appropriate for the moment.  We're not involved in deciding what this gift might be, but if the exercise is done with love then you'll find that people react in extraordinary ways. Giving this type of gift is something that the recipient never need know about. To give of love is something that comes from

To feel a deeper connection to Reiki I've found it's simply about giving up any expectation.  Expectation merely serves as a barrier to the true essence of wellbeing. We can all access deeper levels of Reiki understanding, as we move aside from our limited understanding of the word channel and venture forth into the vastness of potential.  Ask what you can do for Reiki, what is it that you

A fascinating read 'The Breakthrough Experience' by Dr John F. Demartini " I learned about the essence of healing: that if I didn't take credit and I didn't take blame, I could be in the zone that brought miracles to people. When you're centred, you do not see yourself as separate from divinity or humaity and you see human will and divine will as one. That's when you have an inspired

You might have noticed that posts to this blog are a little sporadic to say the least!I have to be honest, I've found writing for both the blog and the Reiki News and Views newsletter increasingly difficult. All is change, transformation and movement at present. So much so that once a word, or a thought is written it immediately forces me to re-evalutate, change my mind and pronounce it out of

Recently I've been trying out Reiki positions that I feel work well for me.Lying or sitting down, I cross my arms over my chest. This feels like a mini hug although you don't actually wrap your arms around you. If you feel like it, then of course do the whole bear hug thing but crossing your arms and just resting your hands on opposite shoulders is a lovely position to give yourself reiki.

It's so difficult to move away from the belief that we should be feeling, seeing sensing, experiencing something similar to others, when we are working with energy. There is such a thing as individuality and difference because all of us are different aspects of the potential, present in life. If there was no such thing as difference why would there be more than one person on this planet? It's

"Subtly, in the little ways, joy has been seeping out of our lives. The small pleasures of the ordinary day seem almost contemptible, and glance off us lightly.......Perhaps its a good time to reconsider pleasure at its roots. Changing out of wet shoes and socks, for instance. Bathrobes. Yawning and stretching. Real tomatoes."Barbara Holland.

Happiness, ultimately, is a word that helps us to express an array of feelings. Just like each and everyone of us has a different experience of what Reiki is, so too, we have a different experience of what Happiness is. Happiness means something different to everyone.But what happens when we get past the word? what exists under the text?By allowing yourself time to think about what happiness

I delight in their beauty. We both embrace Reiki.

My thoughts lead me to this:The sun represents God's/Universal abundance, as does the Earth. It is huge, always shining light on us, there is no limit to it. There is never a time when we are denied the light and warmth from the sun, there is always enough for us all. The clouds that sail across the sky are only a thin veil they are never permanent.

I find it really hard to write down what I think and feel in a logical way at the moment. There are so many thoughts in my head and everyday they seem to take on new, stronger, clearer meaning.

It's great to purposefully walk around visualising the power symbol on the soles of both feet. Do this when you're walking or running, sitting or just being. Imagine a golden healing light pouring down through your crown, down through the body and into your feet.

Being aware of Joy and feeling its presence in our lives is a choice. We don't need others to assist in finding joy, its something we can do here and now.Joy can be thought of as a seed that we nurture and allow to grow within, to assist us in our daily lives. It's a great idea to do a visualization, setting the intention that you're going to meet with a symbol that represents joy for you. Sit
