Searching for Unicorns

Posted on by

I used to go to school with a lass who always said she was searching for unicorns. I think now that it is good to always try to find unicorns, dreams and things to make you smile, things to make you laugh and ways to find magic in your life and magic even in the bad times as well as the good. So I have not forgotten the girl who told me that she was looking for unicorns and whatever was happening that week at high school, she made me smile when she talked about this.

So try to find your unicorns, your wishes and dreams, things to make you smile, laugh and forget the difficulties that may be ensuing. And if you are finding it hard on your own to do this, then reach out to someone to others, to friends, or professionals like counsellors, reiki practitioners, and there is a lot of things that are helpful to lift someone up, like starting to paint, going to art classes, or simply buying some paper and paints and putting colour down onto the paper can be uplifting, or writing a journal and making lists of what you would like to do and start going through the list and if you can’t do exactly what you have on the list, then to do a similar thing to it. Going for walks and being out in nature is good for you too. Find things to enjoy every week and people to have a bit of a chat to, sounds simple but can work wonders.

Reiki for pets

Posted on by

If you have cats or dogs or any other animals, they do benefit from Reiki same as humans do. So if they are ill and you have studied Reiki you can do Reiki for them. Or you could send them Reiki every day/week whenever you think of it.

I am in South Yorkshire and if you want me to come and share Reiki with you, your pets or you and your pets together that is something that can be done as well. So, if you have not thought of having Reiki for you and your pet(s), then do consider it.

I have sent Reiki via distance also to cats and dogs and that is something that could be arranged if you are not anywhere near South Yorkshire.

Reiki works in exactly the same way for animals as it does humans. The last time I did Reiki for a cat, it was sat on it’s owner’s lap next to me on the settee and then jumped off the lap and went and stretched out on the back of the settee behind my head and I continued with the treatment with it lying there.

Ten minutes visualisation for relaxation and stress reduction and ten mins Reiki together

Posted on by

Sit down comfortably. Close your eyes, I want you to imagine that you are walking along a beach, this could be a beach you know, or simply a stretch of sand, the sky above is a blue and bright, a spring day. To your right is the sea, it has small waves, the sea is clear glitters in the sunshine. Walk along the beach, the sand feels warm and soft under your feet, with every step, you feel more comfortable, and calmer. With every step, you can hear the noise of the waves, which is soothing, and feel a gentle breeze on your face. Walk along the beach, you can hear seagulls over head, and you can smell the sea air, and the sea weed along the shoreline. Continue walking along the beach, with each step, you are leaving the past behind you, with each step, you are releasing yourself from your worries, with each step you feel more relaxed. Continue walking along the beach, with each step you feel more confident, and stronger. As you do this, breathe normally, and listen to your breath. Walking along the beach, the sun shines on your face, and the warmth is soothing. Walking along the beach, you can hear the waves softly crashing to your right, over and over and over. Walking along the beach, there is only this moment of calm and comfort right now where everything is fine. After ten minutes, open your eyes, take time to ‘wake up’, especially if you need to drive anywhere, drink some water, enjoy the rest of the day.

Ten minutes reiki together:
Sit comfortably on a chair or settee, close your eyes, and place your hands, palms up on your knees, think of a golden light shining down on your, going down to your crown chakra. This light is going to go down around you, down through your third eye chakra, down through your throat chakr, down to your heart chakra, to your solar plexus chakra, to your sacral chakra, and to your root chakra. As this happens, they will open, and work efficiently for you. You will feel relaxed and calm. The reiki will sooth and help you release fears, worries, and anxieties. As you are enjoying this relaxation, breathe normally, listen to your breath, hear the sounds outside, and in your environment. Everything is fine in this moment, peace, kindness, happiness, joy, sharing, helping others, relax in this moment. After ten minutes, open your eyes, take time to ‘wake up’, especially if you need to drive anywhere, drink some water, enjoy the rest of the day.

Massage Benefits

Posted on by

I provide several different types of massages:

Swedish massage, deep tissue, aromatherapy, Indian head massage and massages followed by Reiki or massages with Reiki at the same time.

As well as this any massage that someone has is conducted to suit them on that day as well. So there is a consulation or a few questions to ascertain which areas of the body the customer wants me to focus on and any that they would like me to leave out. All different massages have their own particular method, and type of hand movements. Swedish massage can be invigorating or relaxing or a bit of both to suit. Deep tissue massage is a deeper method of tissue manipulation and also I use my arm as well to massage. But Swedish massage can also be done in a deep manner to suit the customer’s likes or needs. Aromatherapy is a relaxing massage and is conducted to distribute the oil with the essential oils in it and to relax the customer at the same time. Indian head massage is focused on the upper part of the body including the scalp, but all types of massage could have the scalp massaged as well as the rest of the body. A lot of customers enjoy having a massage followed by more relaxation and Reiki. So they do go well together and I can also provide a massage with Reiki as well.

In all these types of massages it is important to find out what the customer wants and likes, and to check pressure is as is liked and required. And it is important that if a customer wants a deeper pressure that they feel comfortable saying so, I am here to listen to a customer’s needs and likes. Also sometimes customers don’t understand that with a massage you tend to start of with more gentle strokes before moving on to deeper strokes and manipulation. This is to warm up the muscles first.

All massages have many benefits and are not simply relaxing. They are good for all the systems of the body as well as for stress reduction and to help sleep. Below are some of the many benefits of massages.

Reiki via distant connection

Posted on by

Reiki is a very versatile energy and can be used/given/channelled/shared in many different ways. You do not need to be in the same room near to a practitioner to receive Reiki. Reiki can be ‘sent’ to someone from any distance. Reiki energy is everywhere including inside everyone and around us all and in the universe. So, when someone is channelling Reiki they ‘send’ it to the person and also there is Reiki energy around that person and that energy also goes to them, as well as this there is oneness, this means that we are all one and not separate, which comes from Bhuddism, This is quite difficult in some ways to grasp, because we are all unique individuals, and separate entitys, however, we are all human beings and all come from the universe and have Reiki energy within us, so we have an enormous amount of similarities and things in common. When a practitioner does distant connection healing, they merge with the recipient and as such could be said to become one with them, and feel this state of oneness when we do this, so at this time, it could be thought that there is no us and them, that we are both as one.

This February I am giving a discount of £10 for my discount connection Reiki, so £40 for one hour, which the recipient can have at any time of day, whatever they are doing, or they can book a certain time so that they can relax sit or lie down and rest while having Reiki. To book send an email if outside of UK or ring/email if in UK and I will send you details of how to pay prior to the appointment. A consultation form will be required to fill in. Quote ‘oneness’ for your discount.

Tip to reduce stress

Tips to help reduce stress

Step 1 Make time to connect with nature. Improve your wellbeing by getting out of the house with a daily walk or bike ride in the great outdoors. Even if it’s cold, wrap up well and enjoy as much sunshine as possible. Even 15 minutes of daylight on your hands and face will help top up your vitamin D levels.

Exercise is good for for you in many ways, helps you to sleep better, boosts endorphins, happy feelings, sunshine boosts vitamin D levels which is good for keeping colds at bay and good for immune system. Make the most of any winter sunshine.
Step 2 Ensure that you get at least 45 minutes of aerobic exercise daily, either outside, inside online or at a sports centre. Remember that there are dance classes as well as sporty activities that can make it more fun. If you can’t manage 45 mins, do what you can, a little is good for you.
Step 3 Take time out for yourself to do things you enjoy and find relaxing.
Step 4 Practice relaxation and meditation daily.
Step 5 Try and get a good nights sleep. Go to bed early if you are tired. Essential oils are good for relaxation and to help sleep, lavender, frankinscense, marjoram are some oils which help sleep.

Always book with a qualified aromatherapist for an aromatherapy massage and make sure you read up on any contra-indications and method to usage if you are using essential oils by yourself.

Spiritual Counselling

Posted on by

If you would like someone to listen.  Talk in a non-judgemental environment, about worries and life’s difficulties.  I will intuitively ask questions  which  help you to think about your proboems and help you to reassess and find answers and options.  Using positive psychology methods and spiritual counselling techniques.

Spiritual counselling can include: chakra balancing, learning how to access intuition, become more attuned to your soul and listen to your inner voice more, be more in touch with your authentic self and your soul’s path.  Gain options through intuition and reduce stress and anxiety.  You could benefit from  meditation techniques or aromatherapy essential oils, which are blended to suit your emotions and health.  I practice energy healing which can be used for many different problems, mind, body and soul.

Advice and help for any problems which may be connected to your soul fragmenting or you may be feeling adrift or out of sync.  You may feel unable to make decisions and talking to someone about this could help along with many different spiritual counselling methods and ways for spiritual development.

Also I teach Usui Ryoho Reiki if you would like to learn how to relax, self heal, meditate and this also is good for spiritual development.

The effect of distant reiki on pain in women after elective Caesarean section: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial 

Posted on by
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/1/1/e000021

Research using distant reiki to reduce pain following an elective C-section, randomised, double-blinded study, Results found  pain was not significantly different in the distant reiki and control groups,  no significant differences in opioid consumption or rate of healing; however, the distant reiki group had a significantly lower heart rate post surgery.

Although I thought this was disappointing, there are many different ways to send distant reiki and some are most likely more effective than others, so in this respect there would need to be more research using different techniques. Reiki practitioners also vary in their methods and training, so this indicates more research is required. It could be that this particular practitioners method was very good for relaxation but not for healing or pain relief.

Pranic Healing

Posted on by

Pranic means life force and the aim is to bring balance to the energy flow within the body.  When giving a treatment the Prantic healer first scans the body without touching, by sweeping their hands over it, about a foot or two away from it, to see if they can sense energy blockages or imbalances.  When they find an area that they want to work on, they work on that area and remove the negative energy.  When that is gone they send fresh life force energy to the body to bring health and positive energy to it.  They draw this energy from the sun, air, earth, trees, and other things in nature.  When this restortation happens in the body, it releases any negative emotional charge along with any dark energies that can cause disease.  

The benefits of pranic healing are: it reduces stress, anxiety and depression, it boosts self confidence, it helps to decrease panic attacks,  phobias and social anxiety.  It helps remove negative blockages and brings the body into balance.  It is healing for physical problems.  It makes you happier and more content.  It assists sleep.  It improves your immune system.  It helps people be more energetic.  It is good for spiritual development.
