Anxiety and anger cause the most problems in our body, our mind and our society, so it's no surprise that the Founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui, included them in the Reiki Principles.

Just as 6 planets aligned in the night sky a couple of days ago, we experienced perfect alignment at the Reiki Reconnection Retreat this week.

Many of us would love to have more money but only a few are actually a match to what they’re asking for. Sometimes, despite what I know about the Law of Attraction, even I can find myself out of alignment if a ton of unexpected bills come in.

Whilst guiding my Reiki 2 students through sending Distance Reiki to their practice partner in the other room, I often use the opportunity to send Reiki to someone who needs it.

I often get asked if men ever attend my courses and retreats.

The answer is yes, they do attend, but it might only be 1 or 2 in a class of 10 participants.

Many of us are asking for blessings in our lives, be it success, abundance, love, a best-selling book, a million subscribers, more clients etc but we're not taking action towards it.

I heard someone say this week that all of these things are waiting for us, but we're not doing our part in the creation process. 

If a love relationship doesn't include occasional conflict, is it really a relationship? 

Or is it a comfortable friendship where neither person fully expresses their needs, feelings and truth? 

When a change you've desired for a long time is about to become a reality, it can sometimes feel really daunting.

Particularly if the change is so close, all that's left is for you to make a choice about whether to move towards the change or stay where you are.

Whilst becoming a Reiki Master is a beautiful achievement, it's actually just the beginning of a much deeper spiritual journey, rather than the final destination.

As fear is still dominating the news right now, I wanted to move our focus away for scarcity and lack, to abundance.

I've talked before about self-inflicted stress and I strongly believe that multitasking can be a major contributor.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that whenever I'm trying to do a task or I'm waiting for a task to continue, I find myself moving to do something else either simultaneously or to fill the 'waiting gap'.

I've begun to notice what happens in my body when I become attached to a particular outcome.

It's as if I'm being called to practice detachment in real time. 

Attachment can creep up on us and usually begins in the form of excitement.

Wow...when I say I love what I do... 

My soul has always been nourished by helping women do the inner work needed to remove the obstacles the mind places in our way - thinking it's protecting us, but really, it's keeping us small

The block of not having enough time came up during a workshop last week, so it was great to offer a new perspective on this, which seemed to really land with everyone.

The thing is, we all have the same 24 hours.

Many people are wearing an external persona of strength and confidence. They're likely the ‘go to’ person for everyone else, but inside, there’s a yearning to feel the safety of being supported and have time to focus on their life journey. I’ve had some beautifully uplifting conversations this week with women seeking support about what’s calling them.

I’m always quoting Tony Robbins ‘Success leaves clues’ but I believe your purpose leaves clues too. Some are still searching but there are ways to have it reveal itself to you. Many already know what they would do if they only knew how and if there were no obstacles in their way.

Having reflected further on the women I meet who have something they want to achieve but are not moving forward, I know they’re not lacking ideas or desire.

They all have that strong pull to create, serve, write, build something of their own, whether it's a business, a book or a new way of living.

Many of us get to a point in our careers where we realise we want to be of service to others, not in a way that depletes us but in a way that empowers us and those we serve.

When we think about what holds people back from starting their wellbeing or holistic business, most people immediately say fear of failure. However, there's another fear which is not as obvious but just as debilitating...

If you are considering Reiki for the first time, it is natural to wonder what actually happens during a session. Understanding the process can help you feel more comfortable and relaxed before your first experience.
