REIKI LIFE

02/02/2026

Well that was the week that was!

REIKI LIFE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Reiki Life HQ has had a few problems from the start it is fair to say.
Just now it is water ingress. The practice has a few leaks. The bathroom was bad enough with a constant drip that is defying everyone and remains unresolved! Now the ceiling in the front shop came a tumbling down on Friday. I think we can agree the rain over the last month has been horrendous! So unfortunately I am unable to open until all has been repaired and made safe again.

I am hopeful that once the ceiling has dried out it can be replaced and painted toot sweet and I will be open again before you know it.

In the meantime, if there is anything specific you wish to purchase let me know and I can be at the practice anytime as I live in Crieff or I can deliver locally.

If you would like a reiki session, I have alternative, temporary facilities and would be happy to see you. Just get in touch by email info@reikilife.org or request an appointment online at www.reikilife.org .

Apologies to all of you who I have had to cancel/re-arrange, nature dictates our diaries!

The photo is of my Imbolc offerings - the period between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The time where we leave behind the darkness of winter and embrace the light of spring. I remain hopeful 🙏

Good afternoon from Reiki Life HQ. I am delighted to share that I have won the Friends of Macrosty Park "Best Dressed Window" Christmas 2025 competition.

Thank you to everyone from Friends of Macrosty Park who came along this morning to officially tell me and to present me with the most beautiful bouquet and a voucher for a meal for two at Crieff Hydro Brasserie.

Thank you to Experience Crieff for arranging the voucher and thank you to Crieff Round Table for choosing my wee window out of the very many that took part.

I really am over the moon to have won. My dolls house is of great sentimental value. It was bought as a kit over 25 years ago and constructed and decorated over several months. Most of the contents were gifts over very many years from my two sons. I received so many compliments over the festive period, I'm glad it brought a smile to so many. Well done to all the little ones who took part in the Sugar Mouse competition too. A Crieff Christmas tradition that celebrated 25 years in 2025, long may it continue :-) 🙏

Good afternoon from Reiki Life HQ. Thankfully it is indeed a better week for me. I am Covid free once again 😀 I say once again as last weeks bout was my 7th - It obviously like me!
I did manage to make it into my wee practice and change the Christmas window though. It suddenly seems very bare but I had a delivery of new items yesterday and have added them in.

A new delivery always excites me. I have new Buddha paintings. They are all hand painted and signed by artisans from the island of Bali. The first shipment I received sold out the same day I put one in the window. I also have some terracotta vases, handmade in a traditional style on the small island of Lombok in Indonesia.

I am also very happy to be back to seeing clients for Reiki. At this time of year we sometimes need a bit of a reset. Reiki is an amazing way to do that, to find a bit of calm amongst the chaos, a bit of light in the darkness. A session is approximately 45mins to 1 hour and costs £39. You can book an appointment by telephone 07514 037270 or by email info@reikilife.org or request a booking online www.reikilife.org

Good afternoon from Reiki Life HQ - sickbed!!
Unfortunately the practice and shop are closed today as I have succumbed to the lurgy yet again! Day 4 today, not the best start to 2026 but it is what it is!
I have managed to get up and showered and dressed today which is an improvement on yesterday 👍
I am hopeful I will be able to get back to the helm later in the week. I shall keep you all posted.
Avril 🙏

New Year New You Malarkey!

Happy New Year from Reiki Life HQ, I wish you all a positive and peaceful year ahead.

The energy of 2025 was rather heavy. A struggle for many including me! There were times that no amount of self Reiki or reciting my daily affirmations cleared the heaviness. However, the one thing about living a Reiki Life is it keeps you grounded. It gives you focus. It enables you to concentrate on the important things and to try not to worry about things you cannot control. It teaches you to be kind and compassionate and grateful.

Here we are about to head into a New Year. Spiritually 2026 is widely anticipated to be a year of ‘Great Karmic Reset’ of ‘Powerful New Beginnings’. That definitely says “Out with the old and in with the new” to me. So forget the ‘New Year - New You Malarkey’ instead of resolutions that last a couple of weeks, I would urge everyone just to ‘be a little bit Reiki” and practice kindness, compassion and gratitude each day.

All the best to everyone, lang may your lum reek!

Good afternoon all, what a busy couple of days I've had. I did hope to post on the solstice but the day ran away with itself!

Sunday was of course the Winter Solstice. I watched my grandson participate in the MacRosty junior parkrun in the morning and then foraged for some greenery from around the park to create something for my sacred space at home. I wrote my 13 wishes to meet the New Year with hope and positivity and as I walk towards 2026 will burn one wish/intention each night as is tradition keeping the last one to read on 2nd January and to tend to that one myself. 2026 is the beginning of a new 9 year cycle and I am hopeful the heavy energy of 2025 will be replaced with a much more positive one, let us hope so 🤞

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in my Reiki journey this year. I am truly grateful.
I have been very lucky to have such loyal clients and such lovely feedback.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Avril 🙏

Note the word 'YOU' in this picture.
Real healing has to take place within yourself.
As a trained Reiki Practitioner I can help bring you into a space where you can relax, be quiet and still enough so that you can begin healing yourself. Until you begin unwinding the very things that are causing anxiety, stress, dis-ease, sadness etc, there cannot be any progress.
Reiki is a beautiful healing modality that really works but it requires you to do some inner work yourself in order to return to your true self.

The energy of 2025 has been rather heavy but we are nearing the end of that now and 2026 is the beginning of a new cycle. Spiritually it is widely anticipated to be the Year of The Great Karmic Reset and of New Beginnings. A perfect time to do some positive inner work.

Book for January by emailing info@reikilife.org or request an appointment online at www.reikilife.org and begin the journey to finding your true self again.
