Traditionally, there are seven major chakras associated with the physical body.  They are aligned with the spine and located in the base of the spine, the lower abdomen (sacral), the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the centre of the forehead (third eye), and the crown of the head. When our chakras are blocked, or not in balance, the free flow of energy is impeded, leading to physical, emotional, mental or spiritual dis-ease.  When the chakras are unblocked and free-flowing,

Balance ..... it is such an important aspect to life.  When we have things in balance, we have more energy and our lives become more joyful and loving. Two little words, "Yes" and "No" .....  Think of these as weights on a set of scales and see how you can adjust them to keep them evenly balanced. "Yes":  By definition, this is one of the easiest words to express.  It is positive, helpful and agreeable. "No":  This

We know about wishing for the things we want in life and we know that we should be careful about what we wish for.  Here is a story, from a few years ago, of one of the reasons why we should be careful .... My daughter told me, from the start of the school term, when her PE class switched over to swimming once a week, that she didn't like swimming and that she wished that she didn't have to do it.  Each week she'd been looking for excuses not to do it and

Reiki is a loving energy that is channelled through the practitioner.  It is not the practitioners' own energy that is being used. Many years ago, when I started on my Reiki journey, I used to pour my heart and soul into a healing.  It always left me completely wiped out afterwards and I didn't understand why.  It took a little while to work out that I had been trying too hard and had been putting my own energy into the healing session therefore, completely

People often talk to me about having lots of things that they "have to" do.  They tell me that they've got "to-do" lists that are miles long and that are often filled with things that are silly or shouldn't be there. My first suggestion is always to delete the "silly", or "shouldn't be there" items.  The reaction is always a laugh, then .... "but I have to because ....." So how can you feel better about getting

The energy has been rather erratic lately, and a few of my clients have talked about feeling low and not understanding why.  It made me think about something that happened to my daughter and me a while ago, which I shared at the time, but feel needs sharing again. ♥     Here's the story ......     My daughter and I ate lunch in a little cafe today.  After only a short while of sitting at our table, my daughter felt a pang in her heart

Your thoughts are extremely powerful energy forms.  Be careful what you think......   When I was 12 years old, I convinced my mother that I had a terrible stomach ache just to get out of going to school.  That was the day of the compulsory cross-country fun run and I couldn't (and still don't) understand how the words "fun" and "run" could be put into the same sentence together!  Anyway, my mother allowed me to stay at home and

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 & dark

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

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
