♥️At the beginning of May, I had the privilege of visiting Chamonix, France, it was love at first site for me, breath taking place, I highly recommend a trip. Whilst there I took this photo, I used the long exposure feature on my phone, and promptly showed the people I was with my creation, all pleased with myself and I explained a little how I did it, in this moment I realised how little I understood the potential my phone had and worse, how little I understood how to maximise this potential! Here is something I use every single day, and I rely on it to wake up with, tell me my meetings for the day, my schedule etc and yet Im still not using, even 10% of it, to its full capabilities.
♥️So, being a bit of a (over)thinker, I started to ponder "what else do I use daily but have a limited understanding of and I'm not using to my full potential?" And you've guessed it...I came up with my body and my mind!

♥️Often I just expect it to work without much input, just cruising along in the day to day humdrum of life, going to work, coming home and doing things, but I don't really understand why I do things a certain way, why in certain moments I get annoyed/happy/sad, we just except this as who we are, with getting to know ourselves better. Our body is the same, we don't think about walking, until we can't anymore, then wonder what we could have done to stop/delay it, sadly, often by this point it's too late and we just accept that some thing are inevitable, due to age, genes or something else we have been told.

♥️ It's never to late to change this, never to late to become aware of our beautiful bodies and wonderful minds, challenge our perceptions of who we are and what we think of ourselves. Is it hard? hell yeah, you try starting a car that's been idle for 15 years, and see what happens, our bodies and brains are the same. They get used to being a certain way. That's why support is important when you undergo this work, either with a great fitness community, counselling, both or even just choosing yourself in certain situations, whichever way...

♥️ You've got this, and I've got you when you feel you haven't♥️

🧡TL:DR you're a badass with unlimited potential🧡

♥️ Something I didn't realise (and probably should have) is that April was stress awareness month. It's an initiative that's been going every year since 1992, to highlight the impact that stress can have on our lives, our mental and emotional health and also our physical health

♥️My work place produced this little worksheet of small things to do, every day, to help lower the impacts of stress, and while at first glance it may not seem a lot, I realised that it's the small things done consistently that have a bigger overall impact, than one big hit a few times a year.

♥️Looking at the list you may think "how is opening a door for someone or complimenting them going to reduce my stress?" And it's a very valid question. How does it reduce stress?

♥️Being of service, acts of kindness and altruism can release oxytocin, and can release that feel good feeling into your bloodstream, effectively reducing stress! Being kind to someone has the same impact, now imagine the impact if you're kind to yourself! 😮

♥️Being kind to yourself is often very difficult for a lot of people to do, they find it easier to be kinder to others as they see themselves less than, unworthy, or there is childhood programming telling them they'll never be good enough or just that they don't deserve it, if this sounds similar, then you're absolutely not alone and nothing is further from the truth.

♥️You are well and truly loved, either directly or indirectly, and you can't truly practice compassion untill you've practiced it with yourself, and then maybe just maybe your stress levels will reduce and you'll keep all your hair 👀😉

♥️Feel free to screen shot this and use it, you don't have to wait until next April to reduce stress and be kind to yourself

🌞 Spiritual Counseling

Oftentimes I get asked "what exactly is this" and to be honest sometimes I struggle to answer, because it looks different to everyone I see. People aren't one size fits all, made from the same batch, so why should your therapies and experiences be that way?

The good news is that this is exactly what Spiritual Counseling is all about, a unique approach to helping a unique being (that's you by the way) become their best version of themselves.

The World Health Organisation states "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"

Health factors include:

🌞Being aware of oneself and what is around us

🌞Being accepted and loved/able to accept and love others

🌞Maintaining a balance between inner and outer worlds.

So the three main areas of health care can be defined as physical, psychological and spiritual.

You can see which part I come into.

The Spiritual aspect isn't driven by doctrines, Churches or any other religious aspects, it is about returning to self, through a combination of traditional talking therapy techniques combined with appropriate spiritual techniques.

If you're interested in knowing more, would like to book an assessment session, or just want to say hello, please feel free to DM me here or visit my webpage to book a session!

🌞TL:DR- it's nonreligious, counseling therapy with talking and appropriate spiritual techniques.

The Reiki precepts, these are considered extremely important serving not only as ethical guidelines, but also philosophical! This is essentially, the core values of Reiki, and without them, it can lack the spiritual basis, on which Reiki is founded.

I often find myself repeating these, not only as a practitioner, but as a spirit having a human experience, more often than not on the way to work 🤣they help keep me grounded and focused on what's important.

One I tend to resonate the most with, is "Just for today, I will be kind to myself and all living beings"

Often it is easier to be kinder and nicer to other people rather than ourselves, there is a difference between pushing yourself to be better and berating yourself. It's often difficult to tell the difference, which is why this particular precept helps me bring my focus away from telling myself off, to taking a breather and being kinder to myself and then seeing what I can improve on, rather than telling myself off for a missed target at work, weight at Crossfit etc.

Remember to repeat the three times each, daily!

Which is your favorite and why?

I first learnt Reiki a little over 15 years ago, I loved having the treatments and felt it was something I wanted to learn for myself and then ultimately to help others. For complete transparency, I didn't do anything with it and was totally half hearted which unsurprisingly, gave me a half hearted result.

Spring forward 13 years and while on my spiritual counselling course, I met who is the founder of and she really did spark my interest in Reiki again and also through a lot of patience and perseverance, enabled me to re-learn and re-attune to the first degree of Reiki. This time around, I am doing it properly, and with full accreditation, this course is accredited by the and the UK Reiki Federation. The reason it says August on the certificate and I'm posting this now is three fold:

1) I've tweaked and pulled my first degree paper work, and now I feel it's in a more professional place

2) I've stopped being lazy 🤣

3) I'm learning it is actually ok to celebrate your own successes.

There is a saying that goes

"What's meant for you, won't pass you" and I firmly believe this to be the case!

I will be requiring some willing case studies soon, so if you read this and fancy experiencing reiki for yourself or you have some questions, please feel free to DM me!

As I'm waiting to go to for a week, I'm taking some time to reflect on a mad and difficult first quarter of the year:

💥A tight hip flexor meant I was having awful lower back pain and after a comp, wasn't able to walk for a few hours, leading me down a very dark hole

💥The threat of redundancy at work, applying for voluntary redundancy and having all my plans dashed because it was rejected, after 14 years and seeing a way out, it was difficult to take.

💥The worst thing happening with my Mum being rushed into hospital with a stroke and all the emotions and anguish that goes with having a seemingly indestructible parent suddenly incredibly poorly, and you have no clue what's happening or what's going to happen.

It would be very easy for me to worry and stress (don't get me wrong, I definitely did these things)

However:

🌟I went back to CrossFit, was told movement is better than no movement and found an amazing Chiropractor, and between the two and getting rid of the fear I'll hurt myself again and following the proper precautions, my back is better and almost back to normal

🌟The work situation worked out for the best, with none of my plans being stopped, they've just been diverted down a different path and the opportunities are still there

🌟Mum made a full recovery and is home safe and sound now with Dad and her cats, and after her scans and bloods is actually is amazing health and has no residual issues.

And after going to in Feb, I'm off to

After what seems like an endless 3 months (it's the longest year ever) it's easy to fixate on the "this is sh*t's" "my life is awful" etc we all have moments in life like this and I have had such an amazing network of friends and family that have helped and supported me, even when I never realised it.

Help is always a message away, and even rainy days have rainbows 🌈

My clients face after they've had an hour's worth of or healing

Reiki is a very strong and powerful energy healing system originating in Japan in the 1920's by Doctor Usui. It has since exploded out of the East and into the West, so much so that some NHS hospitals and GP surgeries have started to offer reiki as a holistic help to conventional medicine.

It offers an hour of peace and quiet, and allows you to totally relax, uninterrupted, while the healing takes place. After a few sessions, you'll have a noticeable difference in how you feel, think and perceive life! 🎉

I have space available now, so get in contact if you'd like to know more or would like to book a session🌟

My clients face after they've had a whole hour of time to themselves, Reiki healing and knowing they're supported and going to be ok.
