Reiki, ah yes, Reiki. A word many have heard - but few truly understand.
To most people Reiki is all about healing. And yes it is indeed a healing art as we’ll explain…
But - it is also so much more as well…
So What Exactly is Reiki?
Reiki, as we have already said, is best known in the west as a gentle but powerful system of hands on healing. And it is a system, which can easily be learned by anyone to heal themselves, others, plants and animals.
But as mentioned above it is so much more as well.
Reiki helps you…

Chikara-Reiki-Do... What is it?
Well, in one sense, Chikara-Reiki-Do is a unique system of self-initiation techniques which allows you to attune yourself to the wonderful energy of Reiki rediscovered - some say discovered - by Dr Usui.
But it's somewhat more than this too, because expanding on the original Usui system - as it does - it also enables you to directly attune all seven of your major chakras to the Reiki energy - not just two - and...
Because you do it all yourself you can also re-attune yourself whenever you choose...
A definite plus when it comes to consolidating the energy within you...

Has anyone ever asked you this question before? Indeed, have you ever asked it yourself?
Chances are, on both counts, that you haven’t - and this is not at all surprising.
For you see…
Nobody actually gives it much thought.
Everyone seems quite happy to just accept the history as given by other Reiki practitioners, and…
No matter which story of the origins of Reiki you choose to believe in - you are asked to accept that the ability to channel Reiki can only be passed on to you by an existing Reiki Master.
And, at least initially, this sounds plausible and quite acceptable…
Until you look a little deeper…

There are so many different reasons for not sleeping well…
Stress, worry, ill health, poor air, too hot, too cold and so on. The list almost goes on forever. And…
It’s truly incredible what we can ‘dream’ up to stop us getting proper, refreshing rest.
Stressing out at work – overwhelming ourselves with jobs to do…
Making lists… prioritizing… and still we can’t do it all.
So…

Reiki is excellent for many other things besides just healing people, animals and plants and…
Clearing rooms – or entire buildings for that matter – of any stuck or negative type energy is another way of creatively using this wonderful resource.
For example:
When you go anywhere, especially for the first time, you may get a feel of the place the moment you walk in…

Meditation is simple.
It might not be easy, but it really is simple. All you have to do is stop thinking. (Oh well, if that’s all there is to it – then there’s no problem at all is there!?!).
Okay, okay, let’s try this for size.
All you have to do is slow down…

Hi everyone
Balance… it’s sometimes such a fragile concept isn’t it? And one I don’t want to wobble unnecessarily… ha ha ha!!!
So I whisper when I say the sun is shining as I write this 
Yesterday was also sunny for most of the day too but early this morning, after the clear night, there was a definite autumnal nip in the air.
But, it promises to be a lovely day today, and we will enjoy it outside for a change
The floods that have been happening here in the UK are much further south to us, more in the middle of England.
Up here we are more in the clouds than under them
Now, where are we in terms of our imminent move? Well, it feels like we are living in an airport at the moment.
You know the feeling – you’ve got your bags packed but the flight has been delayed… ha ha ha!!!
There is a sense of excitement and restraint at the same time…
A kind of… ‘wait for it’… ‘just a minute’… ‘on your marks’ – but the starting pistol hasn’t gone off yet… ha ha ha!!!
Still, we’re raring to go – any day now.
But the nice thing is… the house we’re living in now has been sold to a lovely couple from Scotland. He was a farm manager and is now retiring and they both love this house. It’s about time this lovely house had some serious loving. It has so much potential…
We are all set, fingers crossed, to move on the 7th August. It is not totally finalised yet but it seems to be the day everyone agrees upon
More balancing to do I suppose… like walking a fine line between doing and being, action and non action.
Excitement and relaxation…

Good mornin’ all…
Well it’s another rotten morning actually.
And I really feel for all those people who have just started their summer break in a flood on the M5 or a soggy field somewhere down south
You would not believe it is summer here in England with the chilly winds and so much rain. It is more like early spring. But yesterday we reached the dizzy heights of 51 degrees Fahrenheit… ha ha ha!!!
But we English are a hardy bunch and will not let a little rain dampen our spirits or lack of sunshine spoil our holiday
So, on with the T shirt and sandals and let’s ‘do’ summer
Because I TRUST summer is here.
It may not be the summer I expected or the outcome I wanted but I TRUST it is the right summer for England right now.
I don’t know where our summer has gone but just because I cannot see it or feel it strongly does not mean it is not there.
The trees are green… a sure sign of summer
The flowers are blooming… another sure sign of summer
The raspberries are ripening more and more each day for me to pick… yep, it’s summer alright
Just because I don’t sense it externally (through my winter coat ) it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
For you see, my ‘bones’ tell me it is summer because of many things…
The longer daylight…
Brighter colours…
A lighter diet…
