An Ode to my Shadow

An Ode to my Shadow

I see you now dear shadow. 

You are me as a little girl. I see that you are innocent. You are me as the teenager who craved belonging, I see that you just wanted love all this time. You are me as a young woman, trying to find her way. I see that you needed me to show you. You look like me as a new mother, with a heart blown open caring for the most precious thing I’ll ever have and the sudden anxiety that came along with it. You are the suffering that so often comes with this beautifully uncontrollable human experience and the fear of suffering that was only ever imagined. 

What is Reiki?

Allow yourself to imagine the entirety of the Universe in your mind… It is far too vast for any of our minds to contain, but in the attempt we pull ourselves open. We unzip our edges. 

Ultimately The System of Reiki is a path to enlightenment. Although it's famous for its many healing benefits, healing is a byproduct of awakening. By connecting to the Universal energy, we realise that we are the Universe. Reiki is not separate from us, it is who we are. 

She Speaks

She Speaks

The space between you and I is an illusion. That perceived distance is full of little atoms dancing at different speeds. We are just clumps of particles quivering with elation in form. In all those atoms there is space, and in all that space there is energy. We are pure energy. When we connect to the earth, we connect to her energy field, her fertility, her ripeness, her abundance. Her timeline.

You have arrived

You have arrived

In deeply loving the way things are, we deeply love the way we are. And with no resistance, no struggle to make anything into anything it isn’t, we are free. We accept the earth and all who walk upon it as sisters + brothers, beings to honour in a shared experience of divinity. Nothing is more sacred than the present moment. Nowhere is more precious. This is the only lasting way to be peaceful. We give life our full attention, we let time be the great alchemist that it always has been, while we revere all that we encounter as a means of loving the inner Buddha.

Be here now + be true to you

Be here now + be true to you

You are not your story. You are not your pain, your past, or your Dark Ages. As you allow the healing to happen, the light shines where it needs to. Healing is your natural state - and it occurs in a flash when you no longer identify with your history - when you rather root into who you have become - you in all your glory. You, as the one knowing. You write the narrative, yet you are not the narrative. You are the thinker, being thought. 

There are no wants in Oneness

There are no wants in Oneness

The Earth doesn’t ‘want’ for this tree to survive, for whether it grows upwards or dissolves into her, the tree is the earth. She doesn’t want or wish the conditions of herself to be different to what they are - she evolves in surrender, reincarnating into her shifted timelines with grace. Her drama is a creative expression - whether ice or fire, she has no preference - she is it all.

Love the One you're with

Love the One you're with

Love the one you’re with. That’s you. 

In loving yourself with all your heart, you discover your immense capacity for love. You realise what a joy it is to be you, and awaken to what a blessing it is to get to be with you everyday. In this love your essence is realised. You look back over your childhood and you say sweetly to that younger, innocent self - I’ve always been with you. I love you. 

Your normal self talk becomes gracious, grateful, soft. You allow yourself to be perfectly human - a perfect soul with permission to live an imperfect life. Loved more so for every imperfection. 

The Reiki Principles // Your Feelings are Little Children

Your feelings are little children. They are begging for your love. They want to be held, acknowledged. Not locked away and shunned. ‘If you ignore me,’ says the root of your worry, ‘I will disguise myself and parade through your nightmares.’ They want to be heard and held and healed of their wounds. Once they are witnessed for what they are, they release us on their own.

The depth and breadth of the Reiki System is illustrated by the deceptively simple Reiki Principles. Six little lines that are a profoundly affective invocation to healing. They uproot our long buried pain so it can once and for all be seen, understood, healed, and released.

The Hero's Journey Through The Chakras

The Hero's Journey Through The Chakras

Imagine as a soul, we descend from the non-physical formless realm of Universal Consciousness into the physical realm of form. We find ourselves alive in an Earth based duality, having gone through this journey of manifestation and forgetting our origin as spiritual beings. As we move down the chakras to root into the manifested world, the layers get denser and denser - from consciousness to light to sound to air to fire to water to earth.

Getting to the Soul's Space

After a good few years of doing intuitive readings, I have come to find that everyone needs healing. All of us seek wholeness. It is with this motivation that people come seeking guidance, and I’ve realised that if we can just get really anchored into our hearts we can coalesce with our spirit and know all we need to know, see all we need to see, feel all we want to feel for ourselves as we relax into the empowered embrace of our soul’s truth.

The nature of energy medicine is that it gives us exactly what we need - it meets us where we are. So if we need physical or emotional healing, that is what we’ll receive. If we need guidance, we’ll get it directly from your own source of wisdom and our spiritual counsel - the ancient part of us that already knows. This part is always able to hear our beloved support on the 'other' side because it’s found just on the other side of our minds.

Having trained as a Reiki Master and a Medium (with a particular fondness for Spirit Guides), I know it is always into the sacred soul space that our Guides and Loved Ones are inviting us to journey. They want us to know we have all our answers already. We don't need anything outside of ourselves to give us validation. Deep within us the entire Universe pulses as us. It is in the sweet, vast inner sanctuary of our hearts that we meet our souls and ultimately find what we all crave - experiencing our True Selves. It is here that we no longer feel separate or in need of anything external to bring us joy. We realise that our essence is love expressed as joy.

It took working with several hundred clients for me to really understand this. When I began including the crystalline sounds with my Reiki treatments a few months ago, I found this portal to the soul opened naturally in the sessions. I’m adjusting my practice now to bow in service to the soul as much as I can. My sessions are designed to guide you home to your inner sanctuary using a combination of vibrational alchemy - I am no longer offering straight Intuitive Readings (except for channeling in the written form) but what I am offering is a space for soul communion - an invitation to meet your whole, awakened self.

These sessions provide everything I was trying to do during readings but in a much more personal and efficient way. It is by far a more enriching encounter if you meet your Guides first hand. Holding space for these encounters is my absolute joy. Once you’ve seen for yourself what is there, I'm happy to help you understand the deeper meanings of what was experienced.

My intention is to empower my clients so they no longer need me. I feel it’s a much greater service if I can help you get to that space instead of going there on your behalf! We are all on this journey together, connected through an infinite, cosmic web of energy. You and I are constantly evolving, becoming more and more of our true selves with every spiritual stretch-mark. We are simultaneously different people with every breath we exhale, yet an internal aspect of us remains an unchanging spark of the divine. The true aim of the spiritual seeker is not to find a homecoming with a supreme Deity beyond themselves, but to reunite with the True Self - the infinite inner light. What we long for is to find our selves, to experience a communion with our soul. What I wish to assist you with is seeing yourself underneath all the layers that living life as a human places upon us - things like identities, stories, and past pain. As each layer falls away we find an intimacy with our internal light - the light of immeasurable power that acts as a beacon to call us home directly from the core of our inner being. This is an activation. A remembrance. These sessions serve as a container for you to meet you - the pure, bright spirit that you truly are. The Being beyond names, transcendent of former suffering as keepsake of history. You are a Being far untouched by a past, an indescribable layering of vibration that exceeds the capacities of language. It is this infinite realm of yourself we (me, your soul, your Guides and the Ascended Masters I work with) wish to guide you towards. Back to the wholeness of you. As we come back to our centre we then have the opportunity to clearly find the divine within. We encounter the source of healing as a powerful truth from our own spirit. Just like Glinda (the good witch) reminds us, we had the power all along. 

The set of Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls I use resonate frequencies of crystalline consciousness that harmonise the entire body, mind, and spirit. They serve as sacred containers for healing - crystal cauldrons in which to create magic. The ancient earth energies vibrate from the Divine Mother herself to quiet the mind and release limitations. This opens the doorway to higher energies while encouraging the mind into surrender.

- A deeply delicious D note bowl (Ocean Gold inside and Divine Mother outside) whispers wisdom of the oceans. It creates a channel from any unprocessed emotions trapped in the sacral and lower chakras to be alchemised and released out of the throat and higher charkas as pearls. The first time I played this bowl I heard whale song, had visions of the deep blue sea, and cried! It serves as a powerful emotional healer while shimmering divinely maternal energy into the aura.

- The clear quartz + Dead Sea Salt bowl is attuned to the crown chakra - it purifies the mind while healing the body, grounding anything no longer serving us into the lowest point on Earth. It amplifies higher consciousness as it eases mental noise into stillness.

- My pink aura bowl channels the Magdalene pure-love frequency, creating a union of the mind with the heart in courageous compassion. It activates inner knowing to inspire the mind. 

All three of these alchemy bowls work to unify the divine feminine with the divine masculine. When these energies are in perfect balance, we move effortlessly towards inspired action and rest in our creative, intuitive nature. Working deeply in the body, they take us on an inward journey connecting us to pure spirit.

I look forward to welcoming you back to yourself...read more about the Soul Communion Sessions here.

THE PERSISTENT SILENCE

THE PERSISTENT SILENCE

There is a persistent silence that precedes all sound. The still void holds each sound as a wave that passes through it. You can’t get behind the silent canvas. In the same way, it is our consciousness that holds space for every thought, every experience, and every emotion to pass through. Our pure being, this background containing self, is the first and last instance to any circumstance. We can’t get behind it. When you sink far back enough or become still in that deepest of places, you’ll find no boundary to it - no time, no point in space it occupies, for it is space itself.
