in Norwich and area until 1st June.
Complementary therapies
Self Healing Meditation
Whatever meditation you do. You can use this meditation to heal yourself at the same time. This is also one of the ways you can heal yourself with Reiki and meditation. So begin your meditation, this could be in whatever way you do it usually and at the same time, begin a connection to your own healing energy and Reiki energy, allow it to build up and just sit in this healing energy for as long as you meditate. I have been meditating for over 30 years and do believe that many methods of meditation help us to heal as well physically as well as being relaxing and reducing stress. The meditation I do also helps me to live in the moment and reduce worrying.
Usually I sit and make sure I am sitting comfortably, but when you meditate you don’t need to sit cross legged on the floor or have any particular posture, unless you want to. You can sit comfortably as you wish and close your eyes and relax. For Reiki meditation, I make an intention for the Reiki energy to flow and my own energy and sit and relax in the energy with my eyes closed and just being aware of the sound of my breath. Breathing as normal, but just hearing the sound of my breath and any noises from the environment and not thinking purposely about anything. Let any thoughts go by like clouds passing in the sky and just relax in a space of healing energy.

I am enjoying looking after cats and dogs in people’s homes. It’s much better for them than being put into kennels or catteries, esp if they are not happy going to them. They can continue with their usual routines in their own homes while you go away on holiday or doing whatever you need to do and come back to a clean, tidy house and well looked after pet.
Trusted housesitters are just about all over the world, esp in UK, America and Australia and also in some countries in Europe as well.
These are some of my reviews-
‘it was obvious from photos that Nunu had bonded well with her – lying beside her on the sofa and sleeping on her bed! I returned home to find Nunu well groomed and happy and the house clean and tidy. Sheila kept in touch by text so I was able to relax while away.’ 2019 Weymouth
‘Sheila was the perfect sitter – she has a very gentle and calm demeanour which was perfect for my nervous cat Bruno – he is usually wary of strangers so I was delighted to see photos of him snuggling on her lap on the first night! We spoke on the phone before the sit and Sheila sent me updates throughout. The flat was left in pristine condition – I wouldn’t have known she had been there! We enjoyed a cup of tea together when I arrived home and I could see how happy and comfortable Bruno was around her. Sheila is a lovely lady and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a sitter.’ 2019 Birmingham
‘I was nervous about leaving my girls as this was the first time using Trusted Housesitters. Sheila asked lots of questions before hand and thoroughly checked my guide book, which made me feel reassured. Sheila bonded really well with girls and has been a great sitter. The girls missed her when she was gone! I had cleaned the house with a fine toothed comb before her arrival and it was left in the same condition for our return. Perfect!’ 2021 Cornwall
‘Sheila did a fine job looking after the cats ,feeding the birds etc The house was clean and tidy on my return I have no reservations in recommending her as a housesitter.’ 2021 Cornwall
‘Sheila was caring and thoughtful and my cats were obviously comfortable with her, which is really great to know, as they can be quite nervous of people. I think they were well loved while I was away. The house was left clean and tidy, and there was milk, and even strawberries left in the fridge for me on my return. I’d be happy to recommend Sheila, and would be glad to have her again.’ 2021 Droylesden
Having a Reiki treatment and self care via Reiki for relief from stress
I believe that stress is an emotion, all emotions create chemicals in the body and the chemical which stress ‘produces’ is cortisol. If someone is repeatedly feeling stressed this will continually produce cortisol in the body which has negative effects. The physical feeling that stress produces is tiredness. So if you feel tired a lot and don’t know why it could be caused by stress that you are having. It is of course a good idea to reduce the reasons for stress in your life so that you feel better in the long term and are able to enjoy life more.
Reiki can help alleviate stress by:
- Giving you a space to relax and feel calm within and an opportunity to relax during your day or week. And if it is a reiki session you are having with a reiki practitioner, then it is a booked time for you to switch off, close your eyes and allow the practitioner to create a space of calm and relaxation for you. Somewhere you can escape your daily problems and just take some time out for self care and to recouperate.
- Helping the body to heal itself. Our body will heal better when in a relaxed state, our muscles are a good example of this, when you feel stressed often our muscles become tense in one part of the body or another, and results in pain and discomfort, when we are able to relax, this tension is alleviated and the pain diminishes and the muscles can heal instead of becoming worse.
- Helping sleep. Reiki aids sleep and our body recovers and repairs during sleep. It is always repairing itself, but we do need to sleep for our body to function well, and to sleep enough and to sleep well. So Reiki can help reduce stress by helping us to sleep better and get a better nights sleep.
- By eliminating blockages. Reiki eliminates blockages in our energy system. Stress can create blockages in our energy system which reiki helps to eliminate blockages so that energy can flow normally.
- Reiki can help to lift the spirits and enable us to feel more able to cope with any difficulties which we may have.
These are a few examples of how reiki helps if someone is feeling stressed, there are more ways which I wlll be talking about another day.

Guided Imagery
When I do guided mediation along with this is guided imagery, guiding clients during mediation to imagine and picture e.g. that they are walking along a beach or in a forest. I read this with interest about guided imagery and thought I would share it with you.
The following is guided imagery connected to psychology and cognitive behaviour therapy and it’s usages to help people recover from e.g. anxiety or post truamatic stress disorder.

Sometimes in the past, I have imagined situations with alternative endings to them, happier endings, more comforting endings than what actually happened. And although, it can not change the past, it did help me to feel better even thought nothing had actually changed except my emotions. I think it did help as well, to realise that sometimes what we feel about something that has happened that upsets us is more to do with our ideas and interpretations of it rather than the occurance itself, so if we imagine alternative happier outcomes, we can see sometimes that the differences are not so drastic, and maybe in turn that the event itself was not so drastic and we can feel differently about what has happened and be more accepting of ourselves and that we do not always make good decisions and forgive ourselves for this.
Being Reiki, Being non-judgemental
Reiki is known as your bright light and living reiki and being reiki is living the precepts which are:
His five precepts have a long history, coming from a Tendai sect of Shugendo that Usui was in contact with, and this is what they are:
Just for today
Do not anger
Do not worry
Be humble
Be honest in your dealings with people
Be compassionate to yourself and others
Just for today means being fully engaged in the moment, being mindful. I believe also that ‘just for today’ means the opposite, it means trying to do these things every day and all the time as well.
I believe in being non-judgemental and this is what I try to do in my life and dealings with people. As long as people are not hurting others I don’t mind what they do, people need to do what they need to for their life and no one can live your life for you. I did another post which stated that I don’t care what ethnicity, background, where people come from, what they define themselves as etcetera. This is all part of being non-judgemental and non-discriminate. This world is not an easy place and one of the ways we can help others is by living these precepts and adding to them, being non-judgemental and accepting of others differences and other peoples choices. So, when I read posts in reiki groups that appear to be judgemental about reiki practitioners and people in general, it saddens me.
And to create a safe and caring and reiki inspired space for your customers and pupils, we need to be non-judgement and non-critical and promote an accepting and inclusive space where all are welcome. There are many good reiki teachers and we do not need to be perfect, reiki is very versatile energy, a very gentle and non-discriminate energy, it works for everyone. It is gentle and we need to be gentle with ourselves and with other people as is reiki.
Your Bright Light
Reiki is your bright light and we can think that by practising Reiki and learning Reiki, and doing Reiki meditations, and following the precepts, that in these ways we are returning to our bright light.
It is good to follow the precepts and I do teach about the precepts on my Reiki courses.
Just for today
Do not worry
Be humble
Be honest in your dealings with people
Be compassionate to yourself and others
These precepts come from a Tendai sect of Shugendo that Usui was in contact with. I do believe that is a good thing to follow these precepts and especially, not becoming angry with yourself and with others. Being angry with yourself, can lead to all sorts of problems, and being angry with other people can lead to further aggression, and problems in relationships.
There are many people who are all the above and have not even heard of Reiki, so I think it is important to remember that one doesn’t need to be a Reiki practitioner to be honest, or compassionate, or to be trying to avoid worrying. Also, one important strength which I would add to these precepts is: Do not be selfish, be considerate of other people and their needs.
When Usui talks about ‘Just for today’, I think that he was saying about trying every day to do this, to think each day, that ‘just for today’ I will…..He was saying to try and follow the precepts every day.
Another aspect of ‘Just for today’ is that he could have been talking about being Mindful, and saying right now, be mindful of what you are doing, you don’t need to be angry, or to worry about anything, and be compassionate with yourself, because right now, you matter, this moment, you matter, and be kind and compassionate to yourself and others this moment.
Living your life with the precepts in your heart and in your spirit, will help your spiritual path, it will help your life. Reiki and meditation will help you if you are prone to any negative issues, like being angry too often, or worrying too often as well. When you feel angry or worried, remember that ‘Just for today’ you will try not to become angry or worried, and will do what you can to resolve the problems which have brought about this negative emotion, as well as sitting and relaxing in Reiki energy and meditating.
Being compassionate with yourself can mean many things. Some things it can mean are: not being hard on yourself for your mistakes, means forgiving yourself of your past mistakes, means not pushing yourself so hard that you make yourself ill, means not pushing yourself so hard that you are unable to do everything you need to do, it means making sure that you treat yourself as important, and that you remember that your needs are important. It means caring about yourself and your life.
Being compassionate to others, all the above, can be applied to other people. Other people’s needs and feelings are important, and being kind to other people and treating other people with care and kindness is important. It is important not only for those people we come into contact with, but it is important for ourselves, for our lives.
