My Holistic Journey

03/05/2025

My Holistic Journey.
Still here, still trading, still evolving, still learning, growing, living.

Still finding my peace amongst the chaos life brings.

My dad passed away a few years ago and he was my biggest champion in my work life. Without him my desire to push myself in my holistic career died with him. My deep love of words and stringing them together from the depths of my soul, also froze and disappeared into the abyss. My passion for delving into the art of Reiki , while I still practise daily, it wasn't with the same excitement I used to elude.

There are many many reasons why that became the case but I'm not going to delve into that here, right now. Many another time.

This spring has brought me a little bit back to my senses in many ways. Feeling incredibly present with nature, having observed daily through the winter months and then into the spring the changes in our bontiful beautiful earth, in my little patch of it here in West Sussex.

My precious Dora passed away in January, at home with us by her side, just as she wanted. So now I work for an elderly gentleman as a companion/help. He shares my love of nature, especially the wildflowers.
We have been observing on our trips out in the car, the first plants to spring from the land. On the banks and hedgerows we pass, down the little country lanes we drive. Every day.

I've always been observant but this daily habit over now a year or so has really become a sanctuary of peace and presence for me.
Having a brain notorious for forgetting names of things, I've done myself mighty proud this year that I have retained the names of many wildflowers. I reason this is because it's been a slow and steady process, it's finally sinking in. And also it's been my true Joy of late. A little habit that's really helped bring me back to myself.

Life isn't always easy but I am so thankful that under any trials and challenges I face, I have and always have had, a real sense of peace within me.
I love to wander alone just me and my dogs. I love to be outside finding contentment in what's around me.

The last 18 months especially have brought me so many lessons. A truly uncomfortable experience at times but if you really sit with things, really learn and grow from it then once out the otherside the light tends to shine just that much brighter doesn't it?

I know sorrow is one of those passtimes you learn to carry with you where you go. I try and find a balance with sorrow I've collected up over my lifetime. Allowing her sacrednesd to make the other things feel more beautiful. I truly believe to live a wholesome life we have to feel it all.

Anyway, so what brought me to write on my page after many years of silence? I've been having stirrings and thoughts of writing again, unsure where to start or how. So I thought I'd start here.

It is my holistic journey after all.

To my friends,

Its been a while, once again but I am back with a new website focusing solely on Usui Reiki.

You can find out a bit more on the website itself but I have re written the Reiki courses after deepening my own Reiki practice so much through teaching that I felt I needed to align them with my own experiances.

My deep gratitude to my students of Usui Reiki so far - without you trusting me to initate you on to your own Reiki path I wouldnt have found the deeper, truer way. I will be in touch with you all, as promised in all my courses - lifetime access to updated materials will be honoured.

I would be so grateful for anyone who has the time to interact with the new website to make it a bit more visable. Please 🙏

Thanks to the lovely ladies of
Gift of the Gab Web Design for a beautiful design but also for being so patient while i disapeared half way through to deal with some 'stuff'. Thank you, thank you, thank you ###

The metaphor of shedding one’s skin like this gorgeous tree pictured simply means “a dropping away” those parts of ourselves that no longer serve us, the beliefs that no longer align to our truth, things we have long since buried, prehaps having been too painful and traumatic to deal with.

The shedding of the old allows for transformation, new belief systems, new dreams and aspirations.

Rebirth.

We rebirth many many times throughout our lives, we “become” so many times. Life is not a destination, it’s a journey.

It’s not always easy and shedding parts of your self to discover your true self is a courageous journey.

It doesn’t matter how all this looks to you, for you. We are all unique, growth happens in different ways at different speeds. We are here learning about different things.

Just know though, that you are insanely beautiful and even if and when you don’t feel it - you are a radiant light.

And when you are ready - sink deep and shed a layer.

How does this feel?

I’m here for you 🙏🏻

Reiki is so simple yet also it is so much.
It’s a journey. A spiritual journey of the Self. And I applaud you for taking that step and turning up.

From my heart to yours - have a blessed journey 💗

The energy

Of life

Of love

Of compassion

Of everlasting kindness

Of the stars above

Of the infinite cosmos

Of the rain that falls

Of the sun that shines

Of the ladybird in flight

Of the flower

Of the grass

Of the Earth

Of me, my truth

Of you, yours.

Do not underestimate the power of your prayer.

Do not underestimate the power of your intent.

Do not underestimate the power of our unity.

There is a lot to feel utterly hopeless about and sending love and light can feel insignificant in the scheme of what our brothers and sisters are living through right now but please, if you do anything today -
Pray.
Send Reiki.
Send love.
Send Light.
Send protection.
Keep your thoughts pure.

Don’t let the media engulf you with their weapon of fear.

The dark forces are at play - it’s darkest before dawn.

Uphold your values of sovereignty.
Face this with courage and steady unwavering faith.
Envision a world in peace.

Pray 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹🙏🏻
