I was going through some old clothes, clearing out my wardrobe the other day.  It was lovely finding some favourites from when I lived in other countries.  It also got me thinking about how we so easily fall into the practice of wearing things that "fit in" with our whereabouts.  I used to joke about wearing a particular "uniform" whenever we moved, because of the different customs and/or weather conditions of the places we have lived, but now I realise that

How often do you simply follow your instincts and have things work out for you? Last week I had to go and get my eyes examined.  I knew that my eyesight had been getting a little worse, so when the results showed that I needed to wear glasses for VERY long distances - e.g.: for driving etc - it didn't surprise me.  I also need to wear glasses for close-up too - e.g.: when I am jewellery making and for those times when I want to read labels! Well, at the time of my eye exam,

Those who know me well, know that I really enjoy cooking - especially baking.  On Boxing Day, last week, my sister-in-law introduced me to "Herman the German", a friendship cake that basically starts off as a sourdough starter mix, accompanied by instructions on how to look after it.  I took my sourdough mix home and happily followed the instructions which required stirring a few times, feeding a couple of times, stirring again, then splitting and baking. Yesterday, I

Some gemstones contain metals or toxins.  Whilst these stones are all safe to place on the body, or within the aura, to gain their healing effects, they must NEVER be used directly in water for use as gem elixirs or essences. Below is a list of the better known toxic gemstones, but please be aware that this list is by no means complete. If you wish to make a gem elixir or essence from a known toxic gemstone, or you are unsure about a particular gemstone, only use the indirect

Reiki is the ancient gentle, but powerful, vibrational energy technique of hands-on-healing.  It is a safe, non-invasive form of healing that increases energy, reduces pain, and produces deep relaxation and a general feeling of well-being.  It is a specific energy that helps our own healing systems to work to their full potential.  It aids in restoring the natural balance in the body by balancing our energy systems.  It helps us maintain balance in our own health and

Healing is wholeness.  It encompasses our whole essence — physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.  All healing comes from within and can be initiated from an outside source, which serves to set the healing process in motion.  This outside source can appear in many forms, including; Sound, Sense of Touch, and Sense of Sight.  No matter which source you use in your own healing, it is all Energy.   Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning

My wish today is that it won't be much longer before we can take someone to the doctor, or hospital, and not be looked at with rolled eyes when we mention that we used Reiki on an injury. My daughter is the goalie in her soccer team. The team played in an all-day tournament yesterday in which, during one of the 1st round matches, my daughter was injured whilst saving a goal. Her wrist was bent back and twisted and I immediately gave her Arnica, a Homeopathic remedy which excels at

Tiredness ♥ Irritability ♥ Depression ♥ Tears ♥ Wanting to run away from everything ♥ Wishing to be alone ♥ Wanting to give up ♥ Wanting to go home ~ yet not knowing where home really is....... These are just some of the feelings that, I am not ashamed to admit, I am experiencing as I write this blog. I could sit in my corner and be miserable and alone for the next few days, or I can put these feelings to paper ~ or, in this case, my

I see natural disasters as being the same as dis-ease in our bodies.  When our bodies are tired and stressed dis-ease occurs in the form of illness, colds, aches & pains etc.  Surely it's the same for Mother Earth!  Over time, the stress and strain that has been put upon this planet, by our human selves, must bring forth some kind of dis-ease within it.  Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, I believe, are Mother Nature's way of telling us that, "Enough is
