Connect to Calm with Sara Johnson

Feeling as though you need to invite more balance into your life?

Lean more towards the energy givers (would add Reiki on this too ✨) and veer away from the energy takers/ mood hoovers.

Would you add anything else to these lists?

Since I first learnt Reiki over 10 years ago, I have noticed a huge shift in my mindset and way of being.

As a highly sensitive person it has transformed my sensitivity from a source of overwhelm into a manageable, balanced state. Regular Reiki helps calm my nervous system and has shifted me out of constant fight or flight mode into being able to more easily access peaceful 'rest and digest' states of being.

Ultimately I am a much calmer Sara, Mummy, Wife, daughter and friend and it feels like such a home coming. 💫

If your curiosity is pigued - my next Jikiden Reiki Training is coming up in May. You will learn how to boost your natural healing ability and restore balance in your body and mind. It's such a beautiful journey. 💫

There’s something so powerful about the simplicity of Jikiden Reiki. Nothing added, nothing taken away - just the original, authentic teachings from Japan that support & awaken the natural healing ability within all of us.

Reiki is often called an energy practice…but it is so much more than this. It is a way of being, a way of living. It’s about how you move through the world. ✨

The Gokai ( 5 Reiki Principles ) sit at the heart of Reiki and form a fundamental part of its magic, offering a map for personal growth, development & healing. They aren’t just words, they are a daily compass 🧭, helping you adjust your way of being as you walk through life.

The first line - Kyo Dake Wa means ‘just for today or ‘just for this moment’. Three simple words inviting us to not to worry about tomorrow. To not ruminate about the past. But instead to simply live for today. To live in the now. To be just in this moment. 💫 Now is all I have to deal with. 💫 This first line brings such profound perspective.

Living by these principles has shifted my entire energy. A reminder to stay grounded in the present moment, lead with a heart full of gratitude…helping me respond to life with kindness rather than reacting to it. For when we move through life with more gratitude & in full presence , we have less room for anger and worry and we naturally reach a place of more kindness.

If this speaks to you…let that little nudge of curiosity & interest guide you forwards.

My next Jikiden Reiki Training is the 9/10/11th May held at my bespoke Reiki Studio just outside Lutterworth, Leicestershire. Great links for M6/ M1/ A5.

Shoden - 2 spaces remaining
Okuden - 3 spaces remaining.

I’d love to share it with you. Comment Reiki below and I’ll forward you more details. Or check out the link in my bio ☝🏻 🙏🏽.

♡ The delicate art of preserving balance ♡

Something I have learnt over the years and particularly through the experience of living with chronic autoimmune illness and pain in my early 30s & now as I continue to navigate motherhood, business and family life is the delicate art of balance.

Recognising that when demands on me are higher, whether that be workload, motherhood load, illness &/ or fatigue & general life load 🤯 my need for slower living, quieter moments, connection with nature, heart centred ways of being and connection with my body through the form of mindful practice, self reiki & nourishing rest are all required to help me not only preserve my energy but also support my internal landscape…my mental and emotional state.

I see these restorative practices as daily maintenance, things that help sustain me & preserve that all important state of being. And when demands on me increase, these become a priority to help keep the balance.

It’s like a daily ‘soup’ practice, and we can all live in this mindful soup every day. Each day needs different ingredients. Sometimes we need more rest and relaxation, sometimes we need more mindful movement, and sometimes we need to simply be still and watch the world go by….knowing that all these ingredients offer an opportunity to return back to centre.

If you are craving balance and stillness through restorative rest and grounding reiki, I am here to support you. I have availability for Reiki appointments in the following month and my next Yoga Nidra Sound Bath is coming up on 20th March. I’d love to share them with you. Booking via the comments below 👇🏻 🤍🙏🏽.

A for you to ponder 💭…What ingredients does your mindful soup need this next week?

Many of you may remember I was involved in the amazing Nourish App which offered moments of calm, restoration, and support for mothers, where I curated a variety of nourishing Yoga Nidras for mothers at various stages of their motherhood journey, as well as an imaginative Yoga Nidra for young children.

Sadly, the Nourish App has had to close due to financial sustainability. This App was such an incredible resource for many mums, and I am so honoured to have played a part in the Nourish community, bringing stillness and calm to this transitional time of life for mothers.

While the Nourish App has closed, I am really pleased to share that my Nourish Yoga Nidra meditations have been made available on Spotify for you to listen to for free.

You can access them via this link -

There’s yoga Nidras here to support mothers with rest, relaxation, birth recovery, sleep, calm and one to help children feel calm & get to sleep.

If you’re a mum, please do check them out. Yoga nidra is such an incredible support when you’re sleep deprived, recovering from birth, dealing with big emotions etc.

Enjoy 💫🤍🙏🏽

Thank you to all those who braved the epic rain on Friday evening for our February Yoga Nidra Sound Bath.

A beautiful gathering offering you the opportunity, through deep rest, to release the weight of winter and welcome in the renewal of Spring with the bold transformative heat of the Fire Horse 🌱 🔥 🐴.

An evening to slow down, rest deeply in cosmic awareness & receive. Yoga Nidra. Sacred sound journey. Song & silence. A beautiful combination helping you to slow down enough to receive exactly what you need ⚡️ 🍃 🌱 🔥🧡.

As always, it was a honour to be your rest guide.

Our next gathering is Friday 20th March 🌼. I would love to share it with you.

In the meantime, and over the next month, I invite you to consider 💭…how can you create more restful states of being to allow you to receive fully…for new beginnings can only really emerge from a place of rest 🤍🙏🏽.

I’ve connected with so many sensitive souls recently who are feeling ALL the feels. I just wanted to share this, incase it resonates with you too.

Your fatigue is real.
Your overwhelm is real.
Your exhaustion is real.
Your pain is real.

Don’t ever feel guilty about needing breaks from a world that was never set up to protect your inner peace & mental wellbeing in the first place.

If you feel called to explore some 1:1 support through Reiki or Yoga Nidra rest , please know I’m here, holding you, your experience in compassion and love as I walk along beside you, hand in hand 🤲🏻🫶🏻.

Go gently folks 🍃
