Best You Reiki

This cause for Scropton RDA Equestrian Centre means so much to me.

Horses have been at the heart of my own healing and Reiki journey, reminding me daily of the power of connecting , presence, and trust.

Scropton RDA embodies that same spirit, supporting wellbeing, self-care, and transformation through horses.

This cause feels worth every penny and every moment dedicated.

As part of my “60 for 60” wellness challenge I’m dedicating 30 days to deepening my daily practice for personal healing and collective service. 🐴💛

One action is a 60 minute Meditation at sunrise every day of November.This feels like a wonderful way to support a cause that is close to my own heart.

It’s not too late to get involved if it resonates. You can take up your own 60 for 60 (swim 60 lengths, eat 60 carrots 🥕, walk 60 miles etc - anything that draws you).

Meanwhile, if that all sounds a bit much right now, you can choose to donate to the cause.

You can learn more about the Centre and their focus and needs from last nights news bulletin (attached).All donations gratefully received 🌹✨🙏🤍💫

9 days in and I’m really enjoying the practice. I managed to wake up enough to capture a before shot and then took an after shot - can you see a difference?

The daylight is brightening in the ‘after’ shot - in itself wonderfully enlightening ☀️

🎩✨ The Spiritual Symbolism of the Top Hat ✨🎩

It speaks to the union of opposites energy again - source into matter 🤍🖤

Spiritually, the top hat sits at the meeting point between status and spirit, illusion and integrity. Historically worn by those at the “top,” it carries both the light of mastery and the shadow of pride and separation.

Recently this image has been appearing for me, and it feels like a reminder to look beyond old hierarchies and to reclaim the higher qualities that once lived beneath them.

🪶 1. The Magician’s Hat – Power through Intention
The magician’s hat is the crown of the manifestor and the bridge between imagination and form. It reminds us that our true creative power flows through integrity and heart. How are we using our energy, words, and presence to bring things into being?

👑 2. The Gentleman’s Hat – Nobility of Spirit
Traditionally, the top hat stood for honour, grace, and duty. The qualities of a true gentleman. Spiritually, it reflects sovereignty: leading with dignity and service, not superiority. It invites us to keep the essence of refinement and responsibility, while releasing the ego and pretence.

🌬️ 3. Above the Crown – Higher Mind and Clarity
The top hat sits above the crown chakra symbolising how societal or mental constructs can overlay our natural spiritual authority. Seeing it may point to a clearing of those layers, allowing authentic wisdom, clarity, and higher thought to emerge.

🕯️ 4. Clearing the Old Paradigm
Perhaps the top hat appears now as we release old forms of power and class, keeping what was beautiful within them: respect, kindness, and grace - while letting go of the need to appear “above.”

✨ 5. Reclaiming the Magus
Ultimately, the top hat unites magic and manners, the mystic and the master, the spiritual and the worldly. It asks us to embody elegance, integrity, and heart-led mastery -, # walk with both humility and quiet power.

🎩✨ The top hat reminds us that true refinement begins within -,it’s not a symbol of status, but of sovereignty.

🎩✨ The Spiritual Symbolism of the Top Hat ✨🎩

I have been shown this symbolism several times recently - when I lean into it there are several layers.

It also speaks to the union of opposites energy again - source into matter 🤍🖤

🌿 The Beauty of Giving and Receiving Reiki

At our recent Reiki share, I asked the group to reflect on what they most enjoy or feel when they give Reiki.

Here are some of their reflections:
💫 “I love the feeling of being filled up by a source of unconditional love. Even though I’m giving, I’m also receiving. It replenishes me.”
💫 “It feels like being connected to unconditional love, with no judgement — just trust that everything unfolding is right.”
💫 “I love feeling part of something so great and powerful, yet surrendering to something beyond myself. It’s enlightening to realise I can receive while giving.”

As we shared, we realised that Reiki unifies us - it allows us to see one another through the eyes of love, with deep respect and compassion. And over time, this way of seeing begins to expand into all areas of our lives.

That’s the true gift of Reiki - it’s not something separate from us, but a natural energy that flows through and around everyone. Anyone can learn to connect with it. Reiki doesn’t belong to a select few; it’s a universal energy that welcomes all who wish to work with it. It teaches us unconditional love and mutual respect for all living things.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to explore Reiki for yourself - whether for self-healing, personal growth, or to support others - Reiki classes offer a beautiful way to begin. You’ll learn to connect to this gentle yet powerful energy, to trust your intuition, and to discover how deeply healing it feels to give and receive in equal measure.

✨ Reiki is for everyone - and it starts with you.

🌿 Reiki Share Reflection

Last night’s Reiki Share was beautiful and uplifting as always. We meditated together, exploring how energy unifies. Then gave and received reiki.

At the end, I invited everyone to reflect on what they most enjoy or feel when they give Reiki.

Here are some of the beautiful responses that came through:
💫 “I love the feeling of being filled up by a source of unconditional love. Even though I’m giving, I’m also receiving. It replenishes me.”
💫 “It feels like being connected to unconditional love, with no judgement - just a trust that everything unfolding is right.”
💫 “I love feeling part of something so great and powerful, yet surrendering to something beyond myself. It’s enlightening to realise I can receive while giving.”

As we discussed these reflections, we noticed how Reiki brings us into unity, both with each other and with the energy itself. When we give Reiki, we see others through a pure, loving lens and wish only the best for them.

That is the quiet, powerful magic of Reiki. Over time, regular practice helps us see the world and one another in this same light - which is why Reiki has such a transformative power to do so much good. 🌸

Next share Mon 1st December 6-7.30pm at The Reiki Barn.

Meanwhile, please do feel free to reflect upon, and even share here, how giving or receiving reiki makes you feel 🌹

Reiki love and hugs

Helen

In this Monday (Moon day!) reflection, I share how Reiki, meditation, and our own powerful intention, can help calm fear and bring light to shadow. 🌙

I talk about healing collective fear, especially around this All Souls time, and how our guides and etheric energies support us through transformation. Even when the path feels lonely, Reiki helps us return to peace, clarity, and strength. 🌿

As part of my “60 for 60” wellness challenge for Scropton Riding for the Disabled, I’m dedicating 30 days to deepening my daily practice for personal healing and collective service. 🐴💛
