What makes you feel this way?
For me, quite a few things do it in abundance, but one of them is sweet and dear community. This Friday, our beautiful Reiki community will gather here in Lewes for a day of communal healing. We’ll begin with a meditation, and sit for our mindfulness listening circle, opening our hearts within the powerful container of compassionate presence. We’ll share Reiki in small groups of 3-4 people, receiving from many hands at once which is nothing short of magic. And then, after lunch in the sunshine catching up with each other, we’ll have an extended alchemy sound bath so you can just float on home into the weekend.
We still have space if you’d like to join us! Our lovely venue is at the foot of the South Downs, just a four-minute walk to the nearest station (Cooksbridge). We’re just outside of Lewes, about 20 mins from Brighton or 1 hour from London.
I’ve so been enjoying my awe walks on the Downs witnessing Spring unfurl itself with such delight. Moving slowly to take in all the details of life announcing itself all around, my favourite three-and-a-bit-hour circular walk has become five-or-so-hours long, as I stop so often to take it all in. To be alive on this planet, with feet to explore, and eyes to drink in, is a miracle I like to remember to be grateful for. There is so much happening in this world right now, it is true, AND the tadpoles are making ripples as they dance in the water, the sun is warming up the land, and I even saw a baby lamb being born on the crest of a hill the other day. There is much happening to celebrate too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To welcome joyful new beginnings and the potential for transformation this time brings, I’m offering a 10% discount on my group Reiki 1 & 2 Courses, one-to-one treatments, and mentoring sessions from now until the 31st of March: book with the link in bio to celebrate with me using the code JOY. It’s a delight to share the welcomed energy of Spring with you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope that the sun shines on you with warm kisses and that your heart feels light and expansive today.

Just one month until we gather for the Reiki Master/Teacher Course, and I’m so looking forward to it! In Japanese this course is called Shinpiden, which translates to the Mystery Teachings. Reiki is a practice of connecting to the mystery woven throughout the tapestry of the Universe. Shinpiden is a deepening, expansive journey into the heart of that sweet mystery. Join us over April 10-12, held in Mama Nature’s embrace, here in beautiful Sussex.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll make this transformative step of the Reiki journey on a non-residential retreat, exploring, expanding, and connecting to a deep inner space with lovely like-minded people, held within the velvety folds of the South Downs. Daily sound baths, meditation, attunement, practice, and time connecting to nature will be part of what we share.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What opens to us as we journey deeper into Reiki is our True Self, the unconditioned soul. We come closer and closer to embodying our essence, the great bright light that lives within us all. The Buddha called this place Sunyata - emptiness. In the space of Reiki, as pure spaciousness itself, we fill up in that emptiness and breathe in the vast, limitless space of our true nature.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Welcoming all students of Reiki who feel the sacred urge to go deeper and have completed their Reiki 2 training in any lineage. This course is for the committed practitioner to receive the knowledge of how to attune others with all of the practical guidance (and continuing support) to begin teaching if ever desired. If you feel ready and called to expand your practice, send me a DM! ✨
Images are from our previous Shinpiden courses, love these gorgeous groups!
Happy International Women’s Day to all of you magical and creative creatures ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love being a woman, I love being surrounded by women, I love that so many truly AMAZING women populate, support, inspire and nurture my life! Sometimes I look around this world and try to take in how many absolutely incredible women exist in this moment. We are everywhere! To all my lady loves near and far… thank you and I love you. I love to sing with you, laugh with you, cry with you, put the world to rights with you, share stories with you, grow with you, heal with you, be with you. You give such medicine, joy and courage just by being you ❤️❤️❤️

There is nothing in this Universe that we don’t belong to. We are each an embodied cosmos, our face an expression of the singularity. We look at each other as a consciousness that sees out of many eyes - the one behind the many. We reflect joy, sorrow, warmth, desire, longing, a hope of belonging to each other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes we’re present enough to catch a glimpse of that One in the background. It’s the One we truly long to Be. The one we long for.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We want to know ourselves as the One, so we look for the one. Yet all the time, we were that. The One is in all of us. It shines back through every reflection. It emanates from every pair of eyes if you know how to look. From some eyes it pierces through all the veils to connect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Tao Te Ching says ‘When you realise that nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you’. In other words, when you realise you belong to the whole world there is nothing lacking. We belong inside this moment. We belong to life. If you’ve been on a quest to find yourself, know that you will only be found here - right here in the now. That’s why it’s the only place you belong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here in the now is the home of Reiki. It’s the Mother of All Things - the energy of pure consciousness. It was called the Tao in ancient China. When I’ve described Reiki to Star Wars loving friends they understand. “So it’s the Force. I get that.” Modern physicists would call it the Unified Field. As Usui taught it, Reiki is Buddha Consciousness. It seeks to balance, to harmonise whatever is chaotic. This is the spectrum the Universe moves across - chaos into order and back to chaos. Creation, destruction. Inhale, exhale. Yin, Yang. Life is experienced through duality yet Reiki is the unity behind these two, the mother of the twins. The original energy. The beginning and the end. The zero. The One. And it’s been here, in the present moment, all along. Rei means soul and Ki means life. The soul of life is here, always available to you.

Reiki is an initiation, activating your awareness of the sacred energy of life and how it flows through you. You’ll learn to heal yourself and others, cultivating mindfulness, connection, and compassion. It is a beautiful path to journey together as we connect to the sacred energy within all of life. Usui’s brilliantly designed system takes us deeper and deeper into this aspect of ourselves, journeying inwards towards the infinite inner realm of pure being. When we are there, the energy naturally emanates - it effortlessly pours out of our presence. Rather than a frequency we might occasionally channel, I see Reiki as the sacred inner space where we feel true, where we find home, where compassion, love and joy reside.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re easy to reach yet cradled by the arms of Mama Nature in the charming medieval town of Lewes in East Sussex. From Brighton you’ll get to us in just 15 minutes, from central London it’s a one-hour direct train. Our sustainable venue (powered only by the sun + wind) is on the edge of the South Downs National Park and it’s just a four-minute walk to the nearest station. Many of our students commute down for the day but if you’d like to make a retreat out of it, we can send you some ideas! There are an abundance of walks in the surrounding landscape and the spectacular Cuckmere Haven beach with its glowing Seven Sisters is close by too. Join us for a magical experience connecting to your True Self.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can work with me one-to-one or in beautiful group settings with wonderful people (there is nothing sweeter than being in a room full of people that are the same kind of weird as us).

I’ve been teaching Reiki since 2016 and practising since 2004. My courses are accredited by the Complementary Medical Association.

Two spaces are available for my next Reiki 2 Course coming up over February 28th and March 1st in stunning Sussex. The course’s focus is on becoming a practitioner, embodying the energy, and allowing the wise mystery to guide both your treatments and your life.
Reiki 2 explores the hidden or inner teachings of Reiki which reveal to us the hidden, inner Being that we truly are underneath the personality, beyond the form we identify as. We coalesce with the Being that appears Human, the inner Light - the soul! This is the aspect of ourselves that is awake, the inner Buddha, the one who is already whole - this is where Reiki emanates from. Usui’s brilliantly designed system takes us deeper and deeper into this aspect of ourselves, journeying inwards towards the infinite inner realm of pure being. The goal of this system isn’t to go forth and heal others (although we can and do!) but rather it’s the greatest work we have as Humans - to heal ourselves 🙏 I’m full of a sweet gratefulness to journey deeper into this system with a precious gathering of soulful students - to reveal together that inextinguishable light within each of us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our fully sustainable venue (powered only by the sun and wind) is on the edge of the South Downs National Park. We’re just 15 minutes on the train from Brighton or an hour from London. This course and its teachings are such a joy to share and explore! This course is accredited by the Complementary Medical Association.

Hey love, how are you? It has been A LOT lately. I don’t know a single woman who isn’t full of rage or sadness. Trying to do all the normal adult things while caring about other humans and being aware of what’s going on in our global field... Our nervous systems were not designed for this. Whilst you’re caring for everyone else, you might be feeling the impact of scar tissue being poked by a hot iron. I’m here with you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, being the little witch that I am, I find a few very basic, very grounded things keep me steady. First - honestly - if you need a good cry, go out in nature, in the rain ideally, and cry with Mama Earth. Let her hold you. And call your friends. Cry with them. Let them hold you. Don’t forget to care for the soft animal of your body. When mine is remembering, I want to give myself space to process, but I also want to stay here - in the moment. So this morning it looked like arriving at work. Not going online. A short walk to connect to life instead. Then emptying ash from the woodburner and feeding the plants. I built the fire. I swept the floor. I scrubbed the door. It’s a metaphor and it works magic. It helps to move the energy, to tidy the thoughts, to see some order in the midst of chaos. To cleanse not just the physical, but the metaphysical too. This is why witches have brooms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breathe. Place a hand on your heart and connect in. Look in the mirror, deep into your own eyes and reflect the love that you are. Talk to someone. Cuddle an animal. And take in the sweet reminder that all around us, right now, life is stirring. New life is emerging from the darkness. Go out and look. It’s there. I promise.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be gentle as we move through this time. We need the fiery ones and their drive to action. And, a gentle reminder, some of us freeze in times like these. Check in on the ones who’ve gone quiet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t know what we need to do exactly, but I’m all in for the Matriarchy. Let’s look after each other. Let’s be kind. Let’s stay connected.

Brighitta is a Reiki Teacher, Crystal Sonic Therapist, and Intuitive Wellbeing Guide. Her offerings weave holistic therapies with spiritual guidance to awaken the inner light, while provoking a closer relationship to the Universe. Applying a grounded approach, she marries her love of ancient Zen philosophy with natural magic across her offerings of healing sessions, sound baths, intuitive workshops, as well as Reiki Certification Courses in London. Having trained in both the Japanese + Western Usui traditions, Reiki has been her fundamental teacher since 2004. She is a Master/Teacher Member of both the UK Reiki Federation as well as the Shibumi International Reiki Association.
From a very young age, Brighitta held a preoccupation with the nature of reality, perception, and consciousness. She explored these themes through her work as a visual artist, while discovering that using Reiki and Sound provided a much more experiential pathway into these spheres of interest. Her work is rooted in the understanding of a deeper dimension of stillness, and the fulfilment one feels when resting in this inner space.
Brighitta founded Awakening Light on the Summer Solstice of 2015. She has since trained hundreds of Reiki Practitioners with fourteen of her students progressing through to become Master/Teachers themselves. Her workshops focus on nurturing community while providing an inviting environment to explore inner wisdom. With her activating transmissions, she bridges the physical world to the spiritual as a portal home to our true selves. She believes that by connecting to our souls, to nature, and to each other with kindness, we can collectively awaken to a more compassionate world.
Brighitta has featured in Kindred Spirit, Junko Journal, #HigherSelfie, and Spirit Magazine. A photography graduate of Camberwell College of Arts, her images have been published in the New Scientist, Aesthetica Magazine, Art Chronika and have graced the cover of The Mahabharata (Penguin India). She has exhibited and sold her artworks internationally.
Originally from the suburban sprawl of Washington, DC, Brighitta lives in South London with her husband and son.
