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

I've struggled through the last week with a very sore throat of the 3R variety ~ Red, Rough and Raw!  Always looking at positivity and affirmations to help get through, I have been pushing on regardless. "I'm ok", I tell myself. I know this is probably another cleansing going on because of some extra self-healing work I've been doing, but I've had work to do, so I've closed my mouth (as much as possible) and kept working.  First though, I whisper

What is the "best" way of learning and receiving a Reiki attunement?  The number of times I have heard this question has made me put pen to paper.... well.... fingers to keyboard.... to give an answer. I have personally had the opportunity of learning Reiki in a small group/class situation, and via distance.  Both worked extremely well for me because I felt a connection with each of my teachers.  I also teach in both these methods, depending on what works best
