Deepak Chopra says that 'intention is the starting point of every dream'. Intention is certainly not wishful thinking. It is a very powerful tool. When you consciously set an intention you focus on it and align with the idea. The universe will bring us what we focus on. The trick is that once you have set an intention let it unfold in its own way. We tend to want to work out how and when things will happen, but there are so many possibilities that we may not even have considered. Very often things come to us in a surprising way. So we have to trust. This link is to Deepak Chopra's five steps to setting powerful intentions https://chopra.com/articles/5-steps-to-setting-powerful-intentions

The power of intention is huge. In a Reiki treatment I will always set an intention for a good outcome or something better. What you focus on will grow. You have maybe come across the saying 'energy flows where attention goes'. It is so true! So my best advice to anyone is to set a positive intention when you wake up each day. 'Today I am going to feel good' is so much better for you than 'Oh no, it is Monday'! More soon on how intentions come into being...

It is time for me to 'relaunch' this page. It is going to be something more than simply information about my Reiki sessions and classes. There are so many words out there, actually I feel that what we really need is more quiet - to be still. So my intention is to post things which inspire me, maybe some things about my personal work with crystals and, who knows... I am going to step through the gate and see where the path leads me.

I feel very honoured to be joining the new volunteer complementary therapy team at Eden Valley Hospice. The team offers various complementary therapies to support all patients and their carers as well as hospice staff. It's great to be part of such a fantastic team.

Thank you to Steven Cravis for letting me use his wonderful Healing Piano during my Reiki sessions. I always come back to this as the best music I have found to create the perfect calm atmosphere. Please check out his website at http://www.smarturl.it/healingpiano

What will I experience when I receive Reiki?

The most important thing first of all will be to make sure you are warm and comfortable. Usually people choose to lie down and relax under a blanket, but it is fine to sit too, and I have plenty of extra pillows and cushions to make sure your back is supported. I will ask you to remove your shoes but you do not have to remove any other clothing.

During the session I will place my hands either gently on the body or slightly away from the body. There is no pressure on the body, or manipulation. If you prefer not to have physical contact that is fine, and if, for example, you just don’t like anyone touching your feet, that is fine too. It is important that you feel safe and comfortable. You will not stop the Reiki from flowing by asking me not to touch your head. I will show you in advance where I will place my hands.

Everyone’s experience of receiving Reiki is different. It is quite common for people to feel warmth or mild pulsing through the body. Sometimes people say they feel warmth from my hands, other times people feel a coolness. Often people enter a deep state of relaxation and may fall asleep, or comment that they felt ‘miles away’. People speak of Reiki feeling ‘comforting’. Afterwards people say they feel ‘refreshed’, ‘energised’, ‘relaxed’…

Every time Reiki is given it is a unique experience. Why not give it a go?

What can Reiki do for me?

Reiki is great for reducing stress, anxiety and fatigue. It is gentle and non-invasive and can be given alongside conventional treatments. It is used in many settings such as hospitals and hospices to help promote a sense of calmness and wellbeing. As it enhances the flow of energy through the body it can help boost the immune system and restore a sense of balance and harmony.

Animals love Reiki too and some practitioners specialise in giving Reiki to horses or other animals.

But really you can use it for anything! It is great to use in advance of exams and interviews or for helping you work towards a personal goal. If you can imagine that Reiki might help a situation, it almost certainly can!

So what is Reiki?

Reiki is based on the principle that energy flows through the body. If we get imbalances, through the stresses of our day to day lives, the body does not work as well as it could. This can result in tiredness or ‘dis-ease’. I think of it like a stream: we don’t want any stagnant pools, or any dramatic waterfalls, just a steady flow. The word ‘Reiki’ is formed from 2 Japanese words: rei, meaning ‘universal or higher wisdom’ and ‘ki’ meaning ‘life force energy’. So it can be considered as a flow of guided energy which we use to address any imbalances. This allows the body to function at its best. Which explains why a Reiki treatment can leave you feeling so wonderfully relaxed.

When I was about 8 I was given a bookmark with these words on it. I've often thought it was some of the best advice I have been given - and it is very similar to one of the first Reiki principles 'Just for today, dont' worry'. So this weekend, I will slow down and take some time to smell the wondeful flowers which are out in the garden.
