Day 4 of Yule – Hope & Renewal

Yule reminds us that nothing stays in shadow forever. Each small spark of light carries the promise of renewal & healing.

Reiki Intention:
“May hope gently light my path.
May renewal flow through my heart and spirit.”

Light a candle today for the returning sun and the dreams you’re reaching towards.

Day 2 of Yule – Out of the darkness

The light has turned, but everything still looks the same outside.
That feels true in life too — change starts quietly inside. Sometimes transformation is very subtle and almost always comes from darkness.
So today isn’t about doing more.
It’s just about being right where you are.

In this body.
In this moment.
In this day.
In this season.
If you can, pause for a breath and say to yourself:
“I’m here. And that’s enough for today.”
No fixing. No rushing.
Just a soft place to land and rest for a while.

Day 1 of Yule – The Return of the Light
Yule marks the longest night of the year, when the days slowly begin to grow lighter again.

I’ve always loved Solstice. It doesn’t rush anything — it just reminds me that even in the dark, light is quietly on its way back.
Today, I’m not thinking about big intentions or fixing anything.
Just noticing where I could use a little more softness… and a little more rest.
If this season feels heavy for you, you’re not alone.
You don’t have to be bright right now.

You’re allowed to be tired and still trust that light will return.
So for today:
🕯️ light a candle if you like
🌿 take one slow breath
🤍 let yourself be exactly as you are
This space is here for that.
A soft place to land. Rest a while

On December 21st we enter the sacred season of Yule, the Winter Solstice season — a time that observes the longest night and the quiet return of the light. Yule reminds us that even in our darkest, quiet times, new life is already stirring beneath the surface.

This Yule feels especially meaningful for me. Over the past while, I too have been in a season of rest — stepping back from energy work to focus on other projects, personal healing, and anchoring into what was needed in my life and home. Like the earth in winter, much was happening quietly, out of sight. Now, as the light slowly returns, I feel called back to my energy work.

I’m emerging from the dark season with renewed clarity, deeper roots, and fresh inspiration for new energy projects as we move into the New Year with True North Reiki.

Yule teaches us:
●to honour rest without guilt
●to trust the natural cycles of rest and renewal
●and to believe in light, even when we can’t yet see it

Over the next 12 days, I’ll be sharing gentle Yule reflections infused with Reiki — invitations to rest, release, and plant intentions for the year ahead.

May this season bring you peace in the darkness and hope with the returning light.

A memory popped up today that I just had to share. One of my very first Reiki classes was attended by a special soul — my daughter’s dog, Howie. He was a beautiful being, troubled through no fault of his own, yet full of intuition and gentle wisdom.

Animals are naturally drawn to Reiki energy. I have one cat in particular who always seeks out sessions, but Howie was extraordinary. He connected deeply with my daughter and even with the class participants, sensing energies in ways words can’t describe.

When I was nervous and shy about teaching, Howie quietly gave me the confidence to lead. The participants adored him, and in a loving ceremony, I even certified Howie as a Level 2 Reiki practitioner — because yes, animals can be Reiki practitioners! Dogs & cats can be wonderful reiki masters.

🌿 In fact, my own reiki teacher has an equestrian centre filled with a healing heard of horses. On occasion, she hosts group reiki sessions where you can lay on table in the pasture and be worked on by the heard. It's pure magic!

In this photo, Howie had been laying quietly off to the side of the group, but as soon as we started practicing, he got up and came over and laid his head on the student being worked on. ❤️

Animals help us in ways we often don’t realize. They absorb and process excess energy from their humans, giving it back in the form of calm, love, and presence. Howie was a beautiful reminder of the natural, intuitive connection all living beings have with Reiki

***We lost Howie early this summer. Rest in peace beautiful boy.

✨ In the wellness and spiritual world, sugar often gets labeled as “bad.” And it’s true—too much of anything can throw us out of balance. But here’s the thing… balance itself is health. 🌿
Comfort foods, made with care and love, can nourish more than just the body. They soothe the spirit, bring back memories, and create moments of joy. Stressing over rigid rules can sometimes be harder on us than simply enjoying a treat in moderation. 💛

At my little bakery, I bake with intention—small batches, homestyle recipes, real ingredients and a whole lot of heart. Because I believe that when food is made with love, it carries a kind of healing energy all its own. 🥖🍞🧁
Here’s to balance, joy, and savoring life’s sweetness—body, mind, and spirit. ✨

I am opening up to in person reiki sessions in September, but if you'd like to follow my roadside micro bakery page as well, I'd love to see you there too! 👇👇
