Have you ever wondered about distant attunements being as effective as in-person attunements, or even if they worked at all? Well, take a good look at these images.  The photo was taken when my client's phone randomly dropped whilst I was doing a distant attunement for her.  She is based in Massachusetts, USA and I am in Buckinghamshire, UK. Beautiful angelic energy!   The top image is the original, while the bottom one has been auto adjusted for light

For years now Charms Of Light has been known for Healing Gemstone Jewellery.  Let's face it, that is how I started out, with 8 beautiful gemstone pendants in sterling silver, reiki enhanced for that extra whoosh of healing energy. I've always been very happy creating with gemstones and combining them with Reiki energy, but do you know what?  Over the last few months I've been struggling with something.  Shock & horror - I also love creating jewellery

I've been playing with something new lately.  Well, it's new to me anyway, and I really have no idea why it took me quite so long..... Anyway, one of my loves - other than creating gemstone jewellery - is crocheting.  My mother taught me how to crochet when I was very young.  Over the years it has become like therapy to me.  I often use it to meditate - to simply "be" with the flow of the hook, as the stitches grow and create something

I originally became a Reiki Master of the Usui natural system of healing, in 2004.  I have really loved working with this energy and have found that my own intuitive abilities opened up enormously from using it. In 2010 I also became a Master of Kundalini Reiki.  Many people have asked what to expect when receiving their Kundalini Reiki Attunements, and although this can be quite different for everyone, I have decided to share my own experience of being attuned to this wonderful

This is one of those times of the year when I feel torn ....  .... the lead up to Valentine's Day!     I don't agree with the push from all manner of media to buy merchandise. .... I do however, have merchandise to sell.   I don't agree with the idea of having to buy something to express your love for someone. ... I do however, have items to buy, that express love.   I don't like companies constantly advertising

The other day someone asked me to send them some of my light. At first I thought, “how nice, what a lovely compliment”.  However I know that if I keep sending my own light to everyone who asks, not only will I start to feel drained, but those people will never learn to shine themselves. We all have a light within us.  For some of us it may be deeper down than for others, but it IS there.  Whenever you feel down or hard done by, stop and centre

I always thought I was the type of person who could put everything aside for someone who asks for my help or time.  Recently I have discovered that being an empath and extremely sensitive to the needs of others, I can no longer function properly when I have put aside time for someone who hasn't been completely honest with me.  It takes me a very long time to recover and to feel myself again, which also means I am not able to function properly for others who need me.  I

Last week I attempted something new, as a custom order for someone who wanted me to design a pendant for them, without telling them what it was.  I am so pleased with the way this Yin Yang pendant turned out.  I made it in copper wire with Rose Quartz & Black Tourmaline gemstones. The Yin Yang symbol has its roots in Taoism.  It means two halves that come together to complete wholeness.  The principle of Yin Yang is that all things exist as inseparable and

It's been a while since I shared an oracle card on here, but I was drawn to pull one for myself and thought that it would be meaningful to some of you as well. This is the "Healing" card from the Numerology Guidance Cards by Michelle Buchanan (available at Amazon).   The meaning of this card for me today, isn't simply to do more healing for others, or to learn more healing modalities .... today it has a strong leaning towards the need to focus on my own
