When I first stepped onto my spiritual path, Reiki was the gateway that took me towards other modalities, such as meditation, breath work, mindfulness, Theta and shamanic Healing.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed about the Reiki sessions was the insight I got from it, through my Reiki practitioner.

She was an outstandingly good Reiki Teacher and the downloads would often blow my mind on how specific she was about things that were happening in my life at the time, including things involving other members of my family that were impossible for her to know about beforehand.

But eventually, I noticed a change in the amount of information being shared in my Reiki sessions and the message was very clear……

“If you want to connect with deeper insights, clarity and guidance, cultivate your own connection to the spirit world and develop your own intuition, I’m not going to keep doing it for you!”

This was a little bit like tough love!

“I’ll guide you in the right direction but I won’t give you the answers.”

This in my experience is also the best approach we can take as a parent with our kids, because it drives independent thinking, self reliance and self confidence rather than codependency which doesn’t help a child to use their own brain and initiative enough.

Now, after hundreds of hours in meditation over a number of years, learning various techniques, I have a more intrinsic connection with the spirit world and my intuition, which arises within subliminally, creating a greater sense of trust and inner knowing.

The passion to help others to access their full spiritual power and their optimal health and vitality, is the fuel that creates the foundation for our Health, Healing and Spiritual Growth Retreats.

Between 19-21st September, we have our next residential retreat (aligned with the Autumn equinox - 22nd Sept) at the fantastic Ardoch Loch Lomond.

This retreat will support guests in accessing deep rest and rejuvenation to boost health and wellbeing, cultivate intuitive abilities and connect with spiritual powers through self inquiry.

You will also be treated to excellent, nutritious food in warm and welcoming surroundings!

Please see the images of the venue below and some testimonial feedback from our last residential retreat earlier this year!

There is an option to pay in instalments and secure a space with a deposit of £150.

Why not bring a pal and take one of our twin rooms which are cheaper than a single room supplement?

Places on the retreat are limited to 9 people and we have 2 single supplement rooms left.

If this is of interest, please leave the word INTUITION below in the comments, like our page and we’ll send you the details via private message.

If you don’t like our page, we won’t be able to send you a direct message.

In 9 days time we’ve got our next Health and Wellbeing Retreat at Dalkeith Country Park Restoration Yard, which takes place on the 26th and 27th July - 10am until 5pm both days.

You can attend one of the days or both depending on your personal preference.

We change the program each day, with a different theme and co-facilitator joining me, to keep it fresh and varied for those attending the full weekend.

In this video I talk about little about the Saturday where I’ll be joined by Jyoti Sigoiun. Jyoti is a highly experienced Pilates instructor and will deliver two classes during the day focusing on some of the fundamentals of Pilates.

You’ll learn how to engage your core and to change your relationship with your feet, two areas that often get overlooked in the body, but are essential to the strength and healthy functioning of the physical body.

This will be a great addition to our holistic offering and you will leave renewed, more grounded, feeling calmer, more relaxed and with an increase in overall wellbeing.

The retreat might even bring a few more surprises, an inspiring idea, some insight that can support your growth or a shift in your body that can support a health recovery.

All health starts at an emotional level and in the nervous system and we’ll be helping to regulate both.

OFFER 1 - Check out the video and the link below where you can use the code JULY10 at checkout to receive a 10% discount.

OFFER 2 - If you bring a PLUS 1 (a friend or family member), we’ll give you the second ticket at a 33% discount. If this is of interest please leave the words “PLUS 1” below in the comments.

Do you ever find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning, like there’s a heaviness, a lack of desire to move towards action?

Maybe what follows is a stream of internal chatter with an undertone of self criticism, self abandonment or questions about the futility of life?

This isn’t the truth being spoken by your mind, these are stories from the brains default mode network (DMN) that are related to past experiences and how those made you feel!

The chatter is a reflection of the emotional turmoil, lack of recognition, lack of support, mockery, invalidation, gaslighting, etc that u may have encountered growing up.

This indicates the nervous system is going into a shutdown state (dorsal vagal) and needs rest, compassion, specific practices & words of encouragement to move back into parasympathetic state (ventral vagal) where you can feel safe, restored and ready to gradually move towards action.

You may also be someone that has been functioning through bouts of depression for months or years and trying to push through rather than having the tools to work skilfully with the feelings, to heal and to restore your nervous system which will mobilise your full energy resources over time.

Rather than beat yourself up about not achieving daily goals, instead take a moment to reflect on how well you’ve done to navigate all the challenges you’ve encountered in your life and still managed to keep going, in between the down days.

It’s also good to be wary about following people online that are telling you how to live your life and if you don’t do X Y or Z you’re failing or not doing enough!

These individuals haven’t lived your life!

Many are engaged in emotional bypassing, avoiding deeper feelings in favour of dopamine addiction & superficial behaviour.

Don’t compare your life to anyone else’s, respect and honour your journey & stay laser focused on mastering your inner self to create the outer reality u desire.

Learning how to master your emotional states is a blessing and a core foundation for your growth. Meet it head on & you’ll get the rewards!

Check out the video for some tips & repeat this statement 2 help shift perspective “this feeling is temporary & I have the strength to move through it”

09/07/2025

After a long and labour intensive process, we have finally found a couple of suitable venues to host our next two residential health and healing retreats, with slightly different areas of focus!

This process has emboldened our desire to have our own venue, in nature where we can host our own events from.

Your support by attending our events can help make this dream we’ve had since we created The Mindful Enterprise business case in 2016 a reality.

Scotland needs multiple venues with customised design to provide life changing experiences, so that the nation can reclaim its power and change its health trajectory.

Tune in tomorrow at 3pm (correcting my mistake from the video where I said 12 noon, forgetting I am on a live tomorrow at 12) for details of both retreats!

🙏🏻💜
