Reiki by Pete

I believe in allowing myself a treat every now and again. Yesterday I had a chippy tea, one and a half bottles of San Miguel and 3 cheap Malibu and cokes (people who know me are aware I'm not known for my drinking prowess..) but whilst having them and watching John Wick, I knew I'd have to get up early and get the bike out just to 'balance' things out.
I love the phrase 'All choices have consequences'. Last night was a choice and if I want to maintain a level of self care, this mornings ride was the consequence.
It felt like I cycled the equivalent of 20 flights of stairs up and only 10 down but it had to be done as I know what the alternative consequences are for indulging last night.

Are doing any self care today? It takes many forms. It's about respecting your body as its the only one you get in this lifetime.
I hope you have an amazing Sunday, whatever you're doing (even those working, I hope it's not too stressful).

As always, if you'd like to book in for a Reiki treatment, please get in touch 😊

Proof that with a bit of kindness, watering and good energy, we can constantly keep growing. I wish I could find the photos from a few years ago when this wasn't in this condition for comparison. The 2nd photo shows it reaching the ceiling 😊

Self care, it is so important.
It takes many forms and they are all beneficial.
Take today, I treated myself to a massage (she even stuck a couple of needles in, I think she's a bit of a sadist...).
Then, I've given 2 Reiki treatments, one to a new client and one to an existing client. With the treatments, we both benefit. I know the Reiki will benefit them both and I've supercharged myself as well.
I hope everyone who reads this is doing something for their own self care.
If you want to book in for a Reiki treatment then feel free to message me via here or via my contact number which is on my profile.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Journeys, it's not always about the destination, it's how you get there and who you meet along the way 😊

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something...
When you had the chance.
Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again.
Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.
So, let us not leave anything for later.
Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us.
For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.

I think this is something a lot of us are guilty of

It’s been an unusual week at The Chakra Room, for the first time ever I think my week has consisted of more male clients than female…

Some are long standing clients but lots were new. Some of the comments were…

OMG I didn’t know how much I needed that. I’m so tired it’s really helped me relax very deeply

I feel really safe and able to relax and receive the treatments I need here

I haven’t relaxed like that since I can’t remember

My whole body feels like my own again

I feel so cosy and so deeply relaxed

My shoulders feel like they are where they should be and my mind actually went quiet for a while

I don’t know where I just went but it wasn’t in my head and it was bliss

I NEED MORE TIME FOR MYSELF DOING THIS

That was the best treatment of my entire life…

Men deserve relaxation, care and nourishment just as much as women but rarely put this on their to do list.

Us therapists are here to help you, here to offer treatments to everyone in need or those who wisely choose to their wellbeing as a priority.

Just like everything else sometimes you need to unplug and reset to clear the way and to function better.

You can book online…

I do spend quite a bit of time online or using social media but today is the first time that I heard this week is Mens health week.
Have you heard about this and have I just missed it?
Given the stats about Mens health, depression or su***de rates being too high, I would have thought this would have been pushed more.

Yep, genuinely believe this

Not the greatest picture in the world but that is Mr Moon up there, I'll come back to him.
How are you feeling?
Are you out with friends, are you somewhere waiting to watch the boxing? Maybe you're at home with family or are you there by yourself?
I am. I'm currently sat in my back garden, chiminea is doing what it's supposed to be doing, I've got some lights on my fences, my music is playing through the headphones but I'm alone.
However, I know I'm not alone. I can hear the traffic on the road near me, I can hear the people at the pub across the road from me.
So, I ask again, how are you feeling? Are you feeling lonely?
If so, I'm going to offer a suggestion. Go and look at the moon for the next 5 mins and you won't be lonely, because I will do the same. This way, you'll know that someone is doing the same as you. Hopefully, you won't feel as lonely 😊

It's been a while since I've posted. I hope you are all as well as can be. I've had a few things going on but nothing that needs discussing on here.
Whilst I've been away from this page, I've been slowly increasing my self care routine as I had pretty much stopped. This is why I have posted the first picture, whatever you do on a daily basis will show you how your future may turn out. This why I've been doing more exercise (at the gym and at home), I've been more regular in doing the Qigong routine I learned and why I am changing my eating habits (although this one is taking a bit longer to do, it doesn't help when people bring Krispy Kreme in to work...). I am also increasing my self Reiki and my meditation practice.
The second picture is a quote from Robin Sharma that I fell in love with the first time I heard it.
'All change is hard in the beginning, messy in the middle and glorious at the end' and I believe it to be true. We tend to get stuck at the first or second stage due to it being hard or looks messy, this then causes us to give up and I'm very guilty of this BUT there is never any harm in starting again and hopefully, we will have more resolve then.

I will leave you in peace for the night and I will wish you a peaceful night.

As always, a little reminder that should you want to book in for a Reiki treatment, then please do get in touch 😁

I absolutely love this picture. When I see it, I feel like it's a reminder that you can always shut yourself away for a while to rest and re-energise and then when your ready, you come soaring back in on a bad ass dragon.
This is where I currently am. I've had to withdraw for a bit, a few different things going on but I feel I need to awaken the dragon so I can come riding back soon.
I hope you're all looking after yourselves and looking out for each other.

Maybe something that interests you but you may have to be quick as it will definitely become full 😉

Spring is here and with it comes the fresh energy of renewal. Step into your divine feminine energy with this intimate ceremony. Cacao, Meditation, discussion and a powerful drum journey plus more

The Equinox is all about the balance of light and dark on the planet. Within us we are continually finding balance between our masculine and feminine energy the yin and yang our own light and dark ☯️

Spring is finally here, light is returning to our beautiful planet waking up the earth reminding her its time to start fresh. We can feel the energy of newness, rebirth and the power of possibility.

Its a perfect time to look at that balance within you, in a masculine world we are often operating from our yang, our masculine energy, this is a strong and powerful energy, the energy of fire, but we must find balance. If we stay in the energy of fire too long we burn out, we lose our softness and ability to receive all of lifes beauty and abundance. When we step into our feminine power we reconnect to a deep wisdom inside of us, intuition, softness, receptivity, clear communication, sensuality and our ultimate power of creation and creativity. We are able to be in our bodies, follow flow, in a place of being rather than doing and tap into getting all of our needs met with softness, openness and vulnerability which. is our natural state and true power.

In this 3 hour ceremony we will come together in a beautiful circle, learn how we reconnect with our yin with discussion, poetry, music, sacred smoke, cacao, meditation and close with a stunning and powerful drum journey.

Sam - the founder of The Chakra Room has a passion for energy work and is the perfect person to guide you into ceremony whilst Ebony an established and talented sound healer will take you on a deeply connected and healing drum journey.

Good afternoon, I just want to reintroduce myself as I've not really been on here for a while. I'm a Reiki Master based in Bury. I first dipped my toe in the Reiki waters towards the end of 2017 when and advert for The Chakra Room caught my eye. I knew nothing about it but I've always had a fascination with Eastern arts so I booked in for a treatment and ended up having a conversation with my now mentor, Samantha Whittaker. Before I knew it, I was booked on to my level 1 course the following January. Following on from that, I then completed my levels 2 & 3 (master).
I will follow this post up with more information to help people learn more about what it is and how it helps us.
In the meantime, if you want to ask anything or if you want to book in for a treatment then please get in touch.
