Watching the sun set with gratitude from my meditation space at home yesterday while reflecting on a lovely day of teaching Shoden students.
I’m so exited for today’s workshop, the final day, where we will explore & practice self healing. 🙏

The foundation of the practice of Reiki is living by Five principles to bring happiness and healing into your life.
They are called the Gokai. These five simple daily principles act as a map for living with greater peace, balance, and kindness, helping us reduce suffering, support healing, and rediscover a natural state of happiness in everyday life. The sentence at the beginning of the Gokai is this…..

“Shoufuku no hiboo, Manbyo no Reiyaku”

Meaning - The Mysterious Art of inviting happiness,
The Spiritual Medicine for all diseases”

The Gokai advise us, just in this moment, not to get angry, not to worry, always be grateful, work diligently and be kind and compassionate to all living things.

If you practice living by these five principles wholeheartedly you will become happy, and your happiness will radiate to others!

Why wouldn’t we want this for ourselves and for our loved ones!

Learning Reiki changed my life and my healing path. I am forever grateful for all teachers I have met on my journey this far.

There is a scroll of the principles, written in Japanese, in my studio.

If you are interested in learning how to incorporate these principles into your life, I have 2 remaining places on my Reiki level one, Beginners Teachings, this weekend Feb 28th and March 1st in Steni Village. Polis.m

If you are feeling called to learn Reiki for your own self-healing or to gently support the wellbeing of your pets, I have two places remaining on my upcoming course. This is a simple, grounded introduction to Reiki, with a little history, clear insight into its Japanese and Buddhist roots, and plenty of hands-on practice so you can feel the energy for yourself. The focus is on learning how to work with Reiki as a quiet, supportive presence in everyday life — for calming the nervous system, supporting healing, and deepening trust in your own natural sensitivity. No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and a sincere wish to care for yourself and those you love.
This is a certified course and includes lunch and refreshments on both bdays
February 28th & March 1st.
10am - 4.30pm
Steni Village.

Clients new to Reiki often ask me whether there is scientific research behind therapies like Reiki and acupressure. The answer is yes — and the evidence is growing.
For example, a randomised controlled clinical study published in 2024 examined the effects of Reiki and acupressure on patients undergoing a cardiac procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention).
In this study, patients received either Reiki, acupressure, or standard care before a physically uncomfortable medical step (femoral sheath removal).

The results showed that both Reiki and acupressure significantly reduced pain and anxiety compared to standard care alone. Patients receiving these therapies also demonstrated lower heart rate and respiratory rate, indicating a calmer autonomic nervous system response.
Acupressure showed additional benefits in supporting healthier blood pressure regulation after treatment.

This study was published in a peer-reviewed medical journal and indexed on PubMed, the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s scientific database, which is an important benchmark for research credibility.

These findings are consistent with earlier randomised trials conducted in surgical, intensive care, and oncology settings, where Reiki has been associated with reductions in pain, anxiety, and stress, and acupressure has shown benefits for pain perception, anxiety, and physiological regulation.

Reiki works through gentle, non-invasive touch that supports deep relaxation, while acupressure engages specific points known to influence the body’s regulatory systems. When combined with sound and vibration, as with my tuning forks, these effects can be even more grounding.

While science does not yet fully explain all the mechanisms behind energy-based therapies, evidence increasingly suggests that therapeutic touch can play a valuable role in supporting emotional calm, pain perception, and overall wellbeing — especially in moments of stress, pain or emotional overwhelm.

In my work with Reiki and acupressure with tuning forks, I see these principles in action every day: not forcing change, but creating the conditions where the body can settle, breathe, and restore its natural balance.
These practices are gentle, non-pharmacological, and designed to complement — not replace — medical or therapeutic care.

Putting your feet on the Earth is more than a wellness habit. Although grounding mats and electric devices can simulate contact, they are imitations of a living system. The Earth is dynamic—moist soil, shifting minerals, microbial life, temperature changes. That complexity cannot be fully replicated. And while this perspective is spiritual, it is also physical. The human body is electrically conductive. The Earth contains free electrons. When bare skin touches the ground, there is measurable electrical exchange that will:

▪️Help neutralise excess positive charge in the body
▪️Support inflammation regulation
▪️Improve sleep quality
▪️Reduce perceived stress

Around 15 minutes daily can create noticeable shifts.

Daoism teaches that humans are not separate from nature; we are an expression of it. In practices like Qigong, students are instructed to “sink the qi” and imagine roots growing from the soles of the feet into the Earth.

In resonance terms, everything vibrates. The Earth has a steady, grounding frequency. When you place your bare feet on soil, sand, or grass, your body entrains to that stable rhythm—much like two tuning forks synchronising. This natural resonance supports nervous system balance and emotional steadiness.

Technology has its place, and grounding devices can be supportive, especially for those living in cities. Yet nothing replaces direct contact with the living Earth. Fifteen minutes a day is a quiet return to balance—a recalibration of resonance, a settling of the spirit, and a reminder that we are not separate from the ground that sustains us.

Grounding or Earthing, is free, simple, ancient, and accessible. I first watched this movie many years ago, and it changed my understanding and my wellness habits. For anyone who hasn’t watched this informative, free, documentary. There’s a link in the comments to watch free on YouTube.

"The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding" is directed by Sundance Award-Winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell (The Big Fix, FUEL, etc)....

Most of us think of meditation as a way to feel calmer or less stressed. But new brain research in a recent study suggests it may also influence something much deeper — how your brain physically clears waste. The study showed that Mindfulness meditation can measurably influence brain physiology — not just mood or mindset.
Your brain is surrounded and supported by a clear fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
This fluid:
• Cushions and protects your brain
• Delivers nutrients
• Helps remove metabolic waste
• Supports overall brain function

CSF is part of the brain’s built‑in “cleaning system,” called the glymphatic system. This system helps clear out proteins and byproducts that can build up as we age. Interestingly, this cleaning system is most active during deep sleep.

The December 2025 MRI study explored whether a Focused Attention Mindfulness meditation could influence CSF flow patterns.

That’s the classic mindfulness practice where you:

• Place your attention on one anchor (often the breath)
• Notice when your mind wanders
• Gently bring your attention back

They compared experienced meditators to people without meditation training. They also tested whether breathing alone explained the results (it didn’t).

The study showed that during focused attention mindfulness meditation, experienced meditators showed:

• Reduced regurgitant (backward) CSF flow — a pattern that typically increases with aging
• A shift in CSF dynamics in the opposite direction of age‑related dysregulation
• Increased low‑frequency fluid oscillations similar to patterns seen during sleep

In simple terms: the meditative state appeared to influence how fluid moves through the brain — in ways that resemble more restorative states.
And importantly, these changes were not seen just from slowing the breath. It wasn’t simply relaxation. It was the trained attentional state itself.

We often talk about meditation for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and mental clarity. And those benefits are well supported.

What’s exciting is that research is now showing meditation may also affect:

• Neural oscillations
• Autonomic regulation
• Vascular dynamics
• Neurofluid circulation

The brain isn’t static. It’s rhythmic and responsive to internal states. Focused attention meditation appears to help regulate those rhythms in measurable ways.
This is one more reminder that wellness practices are not just “feel good” tools — they can shape real biological processes.

Science is still unfolding in this area, but it’s an exciting glimpse into how intentional attention may support whole‑brain health.

If meditation is part of your routine, you’re not just calming your mind. You may be influencing your brain in ways we’re only beginning to understand.
I’ve only found access to the study on a paid platform, so I’m unable to share the full study here, but the link is below for anyone interested.

After yesterday’s storms, our Mukhtar must have decided that proper supervision was in order for the clean up!. So he appointed his most observant assistant—Felix the cat—as official garden inspector. Perched on the wall, he diligently supervised my work of raking up soggy leaves this morning!

Holding space for others during life’s most challenging moments is at the heart of my work. As have so many of us, I have lost someone close to cancer, and I currently have a close family member living with terminal diagnose. I understand how profoundly cancer touches not only the individual, but everyone around them. Therefore I offer, and have availability for, Complimentary Reiki Sessions for:

⚛️ Individuals living with cancer
⚛️Those experiencing grief after the loss of a loved one
⚛️Anyone caring for someone with cancer

These sessions are created to support the nervous system, ease anxiety, soften overwhelm, and provide deep rest and relaxation. My intention is to offer a calm, nurturing environment where you can simply pause, breathe, and receive.

In the U.K., I trained with the wonderful Sam Buxton Sunflower Healing Trust, a charity that prepares Reiki practitioners to work within NHS hospitals and hospices. That experience shaped the way I hold space — gently, respectfully, and with sensitivity to the medical and emotional realities families are navigating.

There is no expectation, no pressure, and no agenda beyond supporting you exactly where you are.
