🌟 REIKI £45 🌟

Maybe you’ve heard of reiki but don’t quite know what it is maybe 🤔
Maybe you’re considering reiki but aren’t sure whether it’s right for you 🤔

Maybe your doctor has suggested reiki as a form of therapy complementary to your existing medical treatment. 🤔

What is reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

The health benefits of reiki
Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can:

Bring on a meditative state.
Supporr tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.
Stimulate your body’s immune system.
Promote natural self-healing.
Relieve pain and tension.
Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis.
Studies show that reiki treatment may create feelings of:

Peace.
Relaxation.
Security.
Wellness.
Can reiki replace traditional treatments?
No. Reiki treatment should not be used as a substitute for the consultation of a physician or a psychotherapist.

“Reiki complements other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, and it can increase the efficacy of other types of healing,” Bodner says.

If you’re already in good health, though, regular reiki treatments can enhance your ability to respond to stress and serve as a form of preventive medicine.

What conditions does reiki treat?

“Because it works on the entire self – mind, body and emotions – and because it is universal life force energy, reiki may be successful in all types of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing,

Reiki isn’t specific to any particular type of disease or condition but may help people with:

Cancer.
Chronic pain.
Infertility.
Digestive problems.
Parkinson’s disease.
Psychological distress, including depression and anxiety.
Stress-related illnesses.

Reiki can also help you prepare for surgery, which may help boost your recovery afterward.

What happens during a reiki session?

Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. They use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions.

“The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each position is determined by the flow of energy through their hands at each location,”
Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.

What does reiki feel like?

“You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands,” Bodner says. “Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all.”

Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during a reiki treatment. This is of course, entirely optional... 😃

WEDNESDAY 27th MAY 2026

There’s been a lot of busy lately, hasn’t there?
A lot of noise, messages, jobs, people, thoughts, and “I’ll just do one more thing.”

But sometimes you have to step away from the madness before the madness starts running the bloody show.
Not everything needs your answer. Not everyone needs your energy. Not every bit of chaos is yours to sort.

Today, take five minutes. Make a brew. Breathe. Put the phone down. Remember yourself before the world has another go at dragging you in.

Peace is not weakness. Sometimes it’s your spirit saying,
“Enough now, I'm coming back to myself.

💜FIBRO & ME💜

🔥 TIPS & ADVICE FOR COPING WHEN THE WEATHER IS SO HOT🔥

Hot weather can be incredibly difficult for many people living with fibromyalgia.

While some people enjoy summer heat, others with fibro may experience:
💜 Increased fatigue
💜 Dizziness
💜 Nausea
💜 Brain fog
💜 Overheating
💜 Pain flares
💜 Sleep problems
💜 Sensory overload
💜 Weakness and exhaustion

And because people often assume “nice weather” should make everyone feel better, many people with fibro feel misunderstood or guilty for struggling during heatwaves.

But heat intolerance is REAL for many chronic illness sufferers.

⸻

💜 HOT WEATHER CAN OVERLOAD THE BODY

Fibromyalgia already affects the nervous system and energy levels.

Extreme heat can place even MORE stress on the body.

Many people feel:
💜 Drained faster
💜 More shaky or weak
💜 Mentally foggy
💜 Irritable
💜 Overstimulated
💜 Physically heavy and exhausted

The body may struggle harder to regulate temperature and energy during hot weather.

⸻

💜 HYDRATION IS SO IMPORTANT

Heat can worsen dehydration very quickly.

Try to:
💜 Sip water regularly
💜 Keep cold drinks nearby
💜 Replace fluids throughout the day
💜 Use electrolyte drinks if helpful
💜 Avoid waiting until you feel severely dehydrated

Even mild dehydration can worsen:
💜 Fatigue
💜 Headaches
💜 Brain fog
💜 Dizziness
💜 Weakness

Small sips still help.

⸻

💜 COOL YOUR ENVIRONMENT WHERE POSSIBLE

When the nervous system already feels overloaded, cooler spaces can make a huge difference.

Helpful things may include:
💜 Fans
💜 Cooling towels
💜 Open windows when safe
💜 Cool showers
💜 Ice packs
💜 Air conditioning if available
💜 Staying in shaded areas
💜 Lower lighting and stimulation

Your comfort matters.

⸻

💜 WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORTABLE CLOTHING

Many people with fibro already struggle with:
💜 Skin pain
💜 Allodynia
💜 Sensory sensitivity
💜 Overheating

During hot weather, heavy or tight clothing can feel unbearable.

Loose, soft, breathable fabrics may help reduce discomfort.

Comfort is NOT laziness.

Comfort is management.

⸻

💜 DO LESS DURING EXTREME HEAT

This is important.

Hot weather can drain energy far faster than people expect.

You do NOT need to:
💜 Clean the whole house
💜 Push through exhaustion
💜 Pretend you feel okay
💜 Overdo activities
💜 Force productivity

Pacing matters even more during heatwaves.

Protecting your energy is valid.

⸻

💜 WATCH FOR WARNING SIGNS OF OVERHEATING

Pay attention if you experience:
💜 Dizziness
💜 Nausea
💜 Shakiness
💜 Headaches
💜 Rapid heartbeat
💜 Confusion
💜 Feeling faint
💜 Sudden exhaustion

These are signs your body may need:
💜 Rest
💜 Shade
💜 Cooling
💜 Fluids
💜 Reduced activity

Do not ignore your body’s signals.

⸻

💜 HOT NIGHTS CAN WORSEN FIBRO TOO

Many people with fibro already struggle with sleep.

Hot nights can worsen:
💜 Insomnia
💜 Restlessness
💜 Pain
💜 Fatigue
💜 Irritability
💜 Brain fog the next day

Helpful things may include:
💜 Lighter blankets
💜 Fans
💜 Cooling pillows
💜 Loose sleepwear
💜 Cold drinks nearby
💜 Cooler darker rooms if possible

Poor sleep affects everything.

⸻

💜 YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEEL GUILTY FOR STAYING INSIDE

Many people feel pressure to:
💜 Enjoy the sunshine
💜 Be social
💜 Stay active
💜 “Make the most” of summer

But some fibro bodies simply do not cope well in extreme heat.

Choosing rest, shade, quiet spaces, or staying indoors is NOT failure.

It is self-care.

⸻

💜 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY — NOT OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS

Some people may say:
💜 “It’s lovely outside!”
💜 “You should enjoy the weather!”
💜 “It can’t be THAT bad.”

But fibro affects everybody differently.

Your body’s needs matter more than outside opinions.

⸻

💜 SMALL COMFORTS REALLY MATTER

During difficult hot days, tiny comforts can help:
💜 Cold drinks
💜 Cooling cloths
💜 Ice lollies
💜 Fresh air
💜 Comfortable clothing
💜 Rest breaks
💜 Quiet spaces
💜 Lower stimulation
💜 Cool showers
💜 Gentle self-care

Tiny reliefs still count.

⸻

💜 REAL TALK REMINDERS

💜 Heat intolerance is real
💜 Your body is carrying a lot
💜 Rest is productive too
💜 Pacing matters in hot weather
💜 Comfort is important
💜 Overheating can worsen fibro symptoms
💜 Staying inside is sometimes necessary
💜 Hydration matters
💜 You do not need to justify your limits
💜 You are not alone in this

⸻

💜 TINY WINS STILL COUNT

💜 Drinking water
💜 Sitting in the shade
💜 Resting before overheating
💜 Taking a cool shower
💜 Wearing comfortable clothes
💜 Using a fan
💜 Eating something light
💜 Listening to your body
💜 Getting through another hot day
💜 Simply surviving the heat

⸻

Living with fibromyalgia during very hot weather can feel physically and emotionally exhausting in ways many people never fully understand.

But struggling in the heat does NOT make you weak or dramatic.

It means your body is already working incredibly hard — and you deserve gentleness, comfort, and compassion while coping with that.

💜Fibro & Me💜

🔥FIBROMYALGIA — WHAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND
(BUT THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD)🔥

Fibromyalgia is one of the most misunderstood chronic illnesses out there.

People hear the word “fibromyalgia” and often think:
❌ “Aches and pains”
❌ “Just tiredness”
❌ “Stress”
❌ “You just need exercise”

But fibro affects far more than people realise.

It affects:
💜 Pain
💜 Energy
💜 Sleep
💜 Memory
💜 Mood
💜 Sensory processing
💜 Daily functioning
💜 Identity
💜 Relationships

And one of the hardest parts?

Many people still do not believe how severe it can really be.

⸻

💜 1. THE PAIN IS REAL

Fibromyalgia pain is physical.

It can feel:
💥 Burning
💥 Stabbing
💥 Aching
💥 Electric
💥 Deep
💥 Throbbing

Just because pain is invisible does NOT mean it is imaginary.

⸻

💜 2. FATIGUE IS NOT “JUST TIREDNESS”

Fibro exhaustion is not fixed by one good sleep.

It can feel:
💜 Heavy
💜 Flu-like
💜 Paralysing
💜 Completely draining

Some people wake up exhausted before the day has even started.

⸻

💜 3. SLEEP DOES NOT ALWAYS REFRESH THE BODY

Many people sleep…
but never feel rested.

Pain and nervous system overload can stop the body reaching proper restorative sleep.

⸻

💜 4. BRAIN FOG IS REAL

Fibro brain fog can affect:
✨ Memory
✨ Concentration
✨ Word finding
✨ Processing information
✨ Focus

People are not lazy or careless —
their brain is overwhelmed.

⸻

💜 5. SYMPTOMS CHANGE CONSTANTLY

Fibromyalgia is unpredictable.

Someone may seem okay one hour…
and be struggling badly the next.

Good moments do NOT erase chronic illness.

⸻

💜 6. PUSHING TOO HARD HAS CONSEQUENCES

Many people push through activities just to feel “normal.”

But overdoing things can trigger:
💥 Severe flares
💥 Exhaustion crashes
💥 Increased pain
💥 Days of recovery afterward

Pacing is survival — not laziness.

⸻

💜 7. STRESS CAN MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE

Stress does not CAUSE fibromyalgia.

But stress can worsen:
💜 Pain
💜 Fatigue
💜 Sleep problems
💜 Sensory overload
💜 Nervous system symptoms

An overwhelmed body often becomes an even more painful body.

⸻

💜 8. FIBRO AFFECTS MORE THAN MUSCLES

Fibromyalgia can also involve:
✨ Headaches
✨ IBS symptoms
✨ Dizziness
✨ Temperature sensitivity
✨ Noise/light sensitivity
✨ Restless legs
✨ Nausea
✨ Sensory overload

It is a whole-body condition.

⸻

💜 9. PEOPLE CAN LOOK “FINE” AND STILL BE SUFFERING

Many people become experts at masking symptoms.

They smile.
They show up.
They try to act normal.

Not because they feel okay —
but because constantly explaining pain becomes exhausting too.

⸻

💜 10. GOOD DAYS DO NOT MEAN SOMEONE IS “CURED”

A good day simply means symptoms are quieter temporarily.

It does NOT mean:
❌ The illness disappeared
❌ The person exaggerated before
❌ They are suddenly healthy again

Fibro symptoms can return very quickly.

⸻

💜 11. WORKING WITH FIBRO IS HARD

Many people WANT to work.

But pain, exhaustion, and brain fog can make:
💥 Full-time work
💥 Physical jobs
💥 Long hours
💥 Social interaction
💥 Concentration

extremely difficult to sustain.

⸻

💜 12. SOCIALISING TAKES ENERGY TOO

People often cancel plans because their body physically cannot cope.

Not because they do not care.

Loneliness becomes common when others misunderstand this.

⸻

💜 13. MEDICAL DISMISSAL HAPPENS FAR TOO OFTEN

Many people spend years being told:
❌ “Your tests are normal.”
❌ “It’s anxiety.”
❌ “You’re overreacting.”
❌ “Nothing is wrong.”

Being dismissed while living in constant pain is emotionally devastating.

⸻

💜 14. EVERYONE EXPERIENCES FIBRO DIFFERENTLY

No two fibro sufferers are exactly the same.

Comparing people only creates more misunderstanding.

⸻

💜 15. PEOPLE WITH FIBRO ARE STRONGER THAN MOST REALISE

Strength is not always “pushing through.”

Sometimes strength is:
💜 Resting when necessary
💜 Adapting life
💜 Surviving flares
💜 Starting over again after crashes
💜 Continuing despite pain

That strength is rarely seen by others.

⸻

💜 IMPORTANT REMINDER

Living with fibromyalgia is already exhausting enough without constantly needing to prove it is real.

People with fibro do not need:
❌ Judgment
❌ Doubt
❌ Lectures
❌ Toxic positivity

They need:
💜 Compassion
💜 Understanding
💜 Patience
💜 Support
💜 To be believed

💜 Invisible illness is STILL real illness.

💜Fibro & Me💜

🔥IRRITABILITY LINKED TO PAIN LEVELS🔥

One of the most misunderstood parts of fibromyalgia is how constant pain can affect emotions, patience, and mood.

Many people with fibro notice that during flares or high-pain days they may become:
💜 More irritable
💜 More overwhelmed
💜 Short-tempered
💜 Emotionally exhausted
💜 Less tolerant of noise, stress, or demands

This does not make someone a bad person.

It often means the nervous system and brain are already overloaded from trying to cope with ongoing pain and exhaustion.

💜 PAIN DRAINS MENTAL ENERGY

Pain is not just a physical sensation.

The brain is constantly working to:
💜 Process discomfort
💜 Manage stress signals
💜 Monitor movement
💜 Anticipate pain
💜 Conserve energy

When pain never fully switches off, it can leave very little emotional energy for:
💜 Patience
💜 Socialising
💜 Problem-solving
💜 Noise
💜 Pressure
💜 Emotional regulation

Even small frustrations can suddenly feel huge.

💜 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM STAYS ON HIGH ALERT

Fibromyalgia involves nervous-system hypersensitivity.

The body can become stuck in a state of:
💜 Hypervigilance
💜 Sensory overload
💜 Stress activation
💜 Physical tension

This means the brain may react more intensely to:
💜 Noise
💜 Interruptions
💜 Crowds
💜 Repetition
💜 Emotional stress
💜 Physical discomfort

When pain levels rise, irritability often rises too.

💜 EXHAUSTION MAKES EVERYTHING HARDER

Many people with fibro are not only dealing with pain —
but also:
💜 Fatigue
💜 Poor sleep
💜 Brain fog
💜 Overstimulation
💜 Emotional burnout

Sleep deprivation alone can reduce patience and emotional tolerance.

When combined with chronic pain, the emotional load can become overwhelming.

💜 SMALL THINGS CAN FEEL TOO MUCH

People may notice themselves becoming irritated by:
💜 Loud noises
💜 Repeated questions
💜 Bright lights
💜 Interruptions
💜 Physical touch during flares
💜 Being overwhelmed with tasks

Not because they want to be difficult —
but because the nervous system already feels overloaded.

Sometimes the brain simply cannot process more stimulation comfortably.

💜 MANY PEOPLE FEEL GUILTY AFTERWARD

One painful part of fibro irritability is guilt.

Many people feel bad after:
💜 Snapping
💜 Becoming emotional
💜 Wanting space
💜 Feeling overwhelmed
💜 Losing patience faster than usual

Especially when they know loved ones are trying to help.

But emotional overload is common when the body is constantly struggling.

💜 PEOPLE MAY MISUNDERSTAND IT

Others may assume irritability means:
💜 Rudeness
💜 Laziness
💜 Overreacting
💜 Being “negative”

without recognising the invisible reality of:
💜 Constant pain
💜 Mental exhaustion
💜 Sleep deprivation
💜 Nervous-system overload

Pain changes emotional capacity.

And surviving symptoms every day takes enormous mental effort.

💜 FLARES CAN CHANGE PERSONALITY TEMPORARILY

During severe flares some people become:
💜 Quieter
💜 More withdrawn
💜 More emotional
💜 More reactive
💜 Less socially tolerant

Not because their personality changed —
but because pain consumes so much physical and emotional energy.

Many people are simply trying to survive the moment.

💜 BRAIN FOG CAN INCREASE FRUSTRATION

Fibro fog may make people:
💜 Forgetful
💜 Slower processing information
💜 Easily overwhelmed
💜 Mentally exhausted

This can create frustration when:
💜 Concentrating feels difficult
💜 Tasks take longer
💜 Communication becomes harder
💜 The brain feels overloaded

Mental exhaustion and pain often feed into each other.

💜 OVERSTIMULATION CAN TRIGGER IRRITABILITY

Many people with fibro become more sensitive to:
💜 Noise
💜 Crowds
💜 Stress
💜 Strong smells
💜 Busy environments
💜 Emotional tension

When the nervous system becomes overstimulated,
the body may react with:
💜 Irritability
💜 Anxiety
💜 Emotional shutdown
💜 Tearfulness
💜 Anger

because it simply cannot comfortably process more input.

💜 IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEPARATE EXPLANATION FROM EXCUSES

Pain can explain irritability —
but it does not mean harmful behaviour should be ignored.

Healthy coping involves:
💜 Communication
💜 Boundaries
💜 Rest
💜 Accountability
💜 Self-awareness
💜 Repairing hurt feelings when needed

People with fibro deserve compassion —
and relationships still need kindness and respect too.

💜 THINGS THAT MAY HELP

Some people find irritability improves slightly with:
💜 Better pacing
💜 Rest before exhaustion worsens
💜 Quiet environments
💜 Reducing overstimulation
💜 Pain management support
💜 Taking breaks
💜 Better sleep routines
💜 Gentle nervous-system calming activities

Sometimes reducing overall overload helps the brain feel safer and calmer.

💜 YOU ARE NOT “MEAN” FOR STRUGGLING

Living with:
💜 Constant pain
💜 Exhaustion
💜 Poor sleep
💜 Brain fog
💜 Overstimulation
💜 Emotional strain

would affect almost anyone emotionally over time.

Many people with fibro are carrying far more internally than others realise.

💜 THE BIGGER PICTURE

Irritability linked to fibromyalgia is often part of a nervous system that feels:
💜 Overloaded
💜 Exhausted
💜 Hyper-alert
💜 Emotionally stretched thin

Pain does not only affect the body.

It affects:
💜 Mental energy
💜 Stress tolerance
💜 Emotional regulation
💜 Sensory processing
💜 Overall resilience

And sometimes the most important thing people need is not judgement —
but understanding, gentleness, rest, and space to recover.
