Kokoro Reiki

Kokoro Reiki Reiki originates from Japan and is a relaxing treatment. The name "reiki" derives from "rei" meaning universal lifeforce and "ki" meaning energy.

My name is Karen McCabe and I am an Usui Reiki Master, Meditation Teacher, Laughter Yoga Leader, Indian Head Massage Therapist, Women's Circle Facilitator, Heart Based Tantra Teacher, Cacao Ceremony Facilitator and Empowerment Coach. A reiki practitioner works with the client to rebalance the energy within their body. Everything is made of energy - plants, animals, people, even rocks! When we become unwell, suffer stress or emotional setbacks, the energy within our body does not flow effectively as blockages form. The reiki practitioner works with the client to help to remove blockages and allow the energy to flow as it should to improve wellbeing. It should be stressed that reiki is not a cure for ill health and medical advice should be sought in the first instance. However, reiki can be used as a complimentary therapy.

This Sunday I'm launching The Goddess Temple

Are you a woman who feels she has something to share with the world?
Do you feel you have a strong desire to use your voice and speak out in truth?
Are you feeling that you'd like to stand more in your own power and express yourself authentically?

You are not alone!

Every day I speak to strong and inspiring women who have a message to share, something they would love to create and / or a role they would love to step in to.

Often beliefs can hold us back.

Fear of being seen.
Fear of failure.
Lack of resources.
Fear of being judged.

Many women feel alone in their missions and visions, but together with mutual support we can achieve so much.

The world is changing and so are we. There is the calling we are feeling in our soul to be courageous and lead with our hearts.

The intention of this group is to help each other by sharing our wisdom, our time, our energy and to pool our resources so that we can achieve what we would love.

This is an invitation to share, explore and take the next steps on your mission as a heart-led change maker.

It doesn't have to be all work and no play, we are here to have fun along the way, play, dance, sing, laugh and forge deep connections as women to reflect each other's qualities, strengths and beauty, and to take each other by the hand to reconnect with and embody with our own power.

There's nothing more powerful than a women who knows what she wants and goes for it! All it takes is to make conscious choices, to develop self confidence and to take the right action.

I used to play small until I found a coach who encouraged me to break the rules I'd created myself, to expand out of my comfort zone and to take courage and leaps of faith. I learned to trust myself and the decisions I made. All it took was knowing my "YES" AND my "NO!"

In this two hour workshop we will share what is arising, what we would love and what our limitations are.

It's time to play, connect with our divine feminine and to lead with love.

Cacao will be available for £5 per cup and we will create a heart opening ceremony, connect with our intuition and inner guidance, capture our dreams, intentions and visions and tune in to our next steps.

We are only limited by the beliefs we impose upon ourselves. Dream big...then bigger.

Investment £10
With Cacao £15

I look forward to being on this journey with you.

First meet up Sunday 10th August 2 till 4 at Shambala Community Space

Please book via this link https://shambala.org.uk/goddess-temple/
(£5 for caocao is payable on the day by cash please)

Namaste

Karen 💜

Reiki Treatments available from our beautiful Shambala Community Space

What is so special about my Reiki treatments?

You are!

This time is very special to you. For you to relax and take some time for yourself. I understand how rare that can be and how hectic life can become, there is never any hurry.

I leave plenty of time before and after your treatment. I spend lots of time listening to you to find out what you need and how I can help you. I get to know you and help you on your healing journey.

The space is calm, quiet and there are no distractions. You will never have other clients waiting outside. I provide treatments in the daytime, evening and at weekends (by arrangement subject to availability), so that I can fit around your commitments.

My priority is that you receive the best possible experience.

I create a beautiful treatment space which has a wonderful energy. It is warm, welcoming and relaxing. I begin by lighting some candles, defusing aromatic oils and playing gentle music. You lie on the couch and are covered in a warm blanket. I make sure you are nice and comfortable before I begin. Very soon you will start to drift into a relaxed state and feel calmer.

I never let you leave without feeling grounded. I have time to share with you afterwards. You can sit and relax after your treament with a cup of herbal tea and chat with me about your experience, or chill out in a bean bag and our relaxation area.

I am also available by message or phone if you need to ask me anything later.

So why not come and try a treatment and give yourself some time to release all your worries and stresses? Don't keep putting everything else before yourself! You deserve some "me" time.

If you would like to know more you can email at karenmccabe@protonmail.com or DM me.

1 hour Reiki Treatment and 30 min consultation / sharing £45

First treatment £40

Training Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) £125
(Next date 20th Sept- includes full day training, comprehensive manual, certificate, lunch, follow up half day development session and ongoing development opportunities)

Take a look at the reviews and see what my clients have said.

About Me

My Reiki journey began in 2011 when I experienced a period of ill health. Working with energy and developing a practice has had a profound effect on my life, both in terms of my health and wellbeing and self awareness.

I completed Reiki Master / Teacher Level in 2015 and progressed on my personal exploration, later qualifying as a meditation teacher, laughter yoga leader, Heart Based Ta**ra Teacher, Empowerment coach, Women's Circle Facilitator and Cacao Ceremony Facilitator.

My exploration didn't end there! I left the UK in 2018, travelling for five months around South East Asia, participating in and experiencing a wide range of trainings and modalities, while embarking upon a deep personal journey of reflection and empowerment.

My life long commitment to deep personal inner work guided me to further learning and direct experience while living in Shropshire, Ireland and Spain.

My ongoing personal and professional development practices have included Energy Alignment Method, Create Your Destiny, Shamanic practices and training in the foundations of Sharmanism (to name a few)
I have studied a range of philosophies, religions and non duality teachings along with scientific theories to integrate a broad and balanced perspective of the nature of reality.

This year I returned to Leek. Staffordshire to focus upon bringing the knowledge, skills and experiences of the past 9 years to my home town and to focus on creating community. It was in March 2025 that I co-founded Shambala Community Space - A place of peace with Veerji Hasyananda and Jazzalina Garcia.

My ongoing commitment is to be of service to my local community, to assist others to live their passion and purpose, and to find the inner peace that exists within.

Be Reiki

There is no healer.

When you get yourself out of the way you become energy first, a pure channel for Universal energy to flow through you.

You are mearly the vessel for consciousness merging with the field of energy that you are.

When mind says there is something to do and you are trying too hard then belief and identity can arise and try to control the outcome.

In the nothingness the vessel that is the perception of you is the connection between the non physical and the physical.

There is nothing for you to do or be. You are consciousness in every moment; the universe experiencing itself at the level of consciousness in which you are existing. Nothing to force, nothing to change.

Today's Sangha meditation session for Peace in our beautiful space.

Six of us began by grounding and bringing calm to ourselves. We talked about what Peace means to each one of us and how we can find stillness and calm within ourselves when things in our outer world may appear and feel chaotic. A meditation practice can develop resilience to circumstances and situations that present themselves within our personal lives and the wider world. It is learning to pause, breathe and respond, rather than react to our outer world.

Once we become calm and centred we may experience clarity, and we make choices that are our right action.

Today I shared the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh from his book Fear (p101- 105 Blue Sky Above Clouds) He wrote "When we act as a Community of practitioners, infused with the energy of mindfulness and compassion, we are powerful... With a community to walk with us, support us, and always remind us of the blue sky, we'll never lose our faith, and our fear dissolves...We all need a community, a sangha, to prevent us from sinking in the swamp of despair."

Community is important and I feel we have lost sight of the importance of connection, compassion and understanding, mainly because underneath it all a large proportion of society unconsciously operate from fear.

For me, I feel that what we are creating here in Getliffe's Yard, Leek is sangha, a community of like minded people who are choosing to explore their Spiritual connection. We are all here to support each other on life's journey and every single one of us has value and unique gifts to offer.

We finished with a 20 minute meditation practice.

I will be leading and teaching meditation classes for beginners to equip you with the tools and techniques to develop your own practice at home and practice mindfulness throughout your day.

Peace be with you.
Sat Nam

Have you wanted to begin a meditation practice? You think you can't meditate? Not sure how?

I dispel the myth that meditation is about having no thought! I talk you through how to set up a simple daily practice that is easy for you.

🔸️You don't have to sit in any special positions for a long time.
🔸️You don't have to chant OM
🔸️You don't need an empty mind
🔸️You don't have to be religious or spiritual

💜 Find a calm and quiet place where you are unlikely to be disturbed (tell people you are meditating)
💜Simply sit in a straight backed chair (not too comfy or you will nodd off!
💜Make sure you are comfortable and warm enough
💜Relax your muscles
💜Rest your hands in a comfortable position in your lap
💜Close your eyes
💜Tune into your breath (breathing in and out as you feel comfortable)
💜You can recite an affirmation or you can focus on the breath instead
💜Come out of the meditation slowly and gently open your eyes.

Ideally meditate at the same time each day so that it becomes a positive habit.

If you are new to meditation begin with 5 minutes and build the time up to 30 minutes slowly. Thoughts and feelings may arise. Just acknowledge them without judging and allow them to subside, coming back to focus on the breath and / or affirmation. Each time you realise your mind has wandered come back to focus. It's really that simple!

Don't beat yourself up if you find it difficult at first. With practice it becomes natural.

Scientific evidence proves that Meditation is good for your health. Meditation creates a relaxed response in the body, relaxing the muscles, slowing down brainwaves, slowing down the heart rate and breathing. It's good for lowering blood pressure and counteracting cortisol ( the stress hormone which reduces the strength of the immune system)

Meditation changes neural pathways in the brain (neurolasticity), literally rewiring your brain to become more positive!

Meditation helps you to sleep better, increases resilience and makes you look younger too!
The benefits are endless!

We will be exploring a range of techniques over the coming weeks.

There are many to try, such as silent, guided visualisation, gaze, chanting, affirmation, breath, mindfulness, gratitude, loving kindness (metta) etc...

I look forward to meeting you at 6 Getliffe's Yard, formerly Dreamcatcher.

Please contact me for details for 1 to 1 sessions. Details of classes and group sessions will follow soon.

Namaste

Karen 💜
