Did you know that dogs 🦮 are associated with healing energies through their ability to lower stress hormones and increase oxytocin in humans, as well as through various holistic practices like Reiki, energy work, and crystal therapy?

Interactions with dogs can benefit us in a variety of ways..

🐕‍🦺 Reducing stress: Interactions with dogs can lower the stress hormone cortisol and increase oxytocin, which can lead to a feeling of well-being.

🦮 Improving physical and mental health: Studies show dogs can help reduce loneliness, improve mood, and provide motivation for exercise, which benefits heart health.

🐕 Enhancing rehabilitation: Dogs trained as therapy animals can help patients with physical and emotional recovery by engaging them in exercises that build strength and balance.

I know that I love my little fur babies and they are so good for my mindset. It really is a 2 way thing. Last year I took on board a 3 year old Cavapoo; a Covid dog suffering with separation anxiety. It's been a long journey so far; however, he is now so much healthier...goodbye allergies...has shed a lot of excess weight and can run so fast! He loves life and is obsessed by chasing squirrels in the park.

In order to help him reduce his anxiety I have been using holistic energy healing practices. Reiki has been effective (may as well tap into this as I've been practising for nearly 20 years!) This ancient Japanese technique involves channeling energy through gentle hand placements or from a distance to help calm and relax dogs. I'm also testing out crystal healing by using crystals as charms on a collar, placing them in his bed, and have incorporated them into massage to help to transfer their vibrations to him.

Both of my dogs compliment each other, as they both bring different character traits into the household. Simba has livened up which is a pleasure to witness and they have bonded so well!

A big turn out today at Mary Stevens Park to mark and commemorate Rememberance Sunday, held in U.K. to acknowledge the contribution of British & Commonwealth military, civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts; who sacrificed their lives to defend our freedom. Also an opportunity to remember the emergency services and those who lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. As I was standing with many more in silence remembering those whose lives changed forever, not only in my family but those of my late husband, and of friends families too; it came to mind the impact of conflict and war on individuals mental health. Many returned from wars and conflicts with no mental health support and the impact on family life was huge.

A few years ago I was invited to volunteer to offer Reiki Treatments to ex servicemen suffering from post traumatic stress (PTSD) along with other Reiki practitioners. It was a very humbling experience and more so when they gave us feedback on how beneficial the treatments were in terms of relaxation and a window of time to switch off from their thoughts.

Organisations that help men's mental health include..

🙏 CALM
🙏 Andy's Man Club
🙏 Movember Foundation
🙏 Men's Sheds Association
🙏 Mankind Initiative
🙏 Men's Advice Line

A lot of reflections today and respect given to those who showed so much courage. With local community spanning several generations as they gathered today at the park, it was a very moving event.

Feedback from the last Full Moon workshop...it truly warms my heart ❤️ to see how many people are benefiting from my work.

Surrender, forgive & release are the key words at the Full Moon. Forgiveness releases karma. If you have created negative karma for yourself or had lifetimes of strife with someone then you can release the karma between you.

Following the Moon cycles has been transformative 💥 for myself and others. Living your best life starts here...

So why don't you join us on our next Full Moon workshop 3rd January 2026 3pm-5pm. Start 2026 with a clean slate.👌Visit the link below....👇👇👇👇

This time of year brings a certain stillness… a quiet magic in the air 🍂
And maybe, just maybe, your favourite little rituals, the ones that bring you back to yourself are a kind of magic, too. 🧡

A warm bath by candlelight.
A cosy moment spent journaling.
A gentle walk under the moon.
Sipping tea slowly, feeling held by the moment. ☕

You don’t need to call them spells, potions, or charms…
They're simply how you care for your soul. 🌙

🧖‍♀️ It’s okay to pause.
🕯 It’s okay to need softness.
💫 It’s more than okay to choose yourself.

This Halloween, let’s celebrate the quiet kind of magic the kind that happens when you listen to your heart and take care of it.

✨ Because your wellbeing deserves tending to not just now, but always.

🧡 You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to restore. You are allowed to feel whole. Tag someone who might need a gentle reminder of their own magic today. 🍁
