“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” - Lao Tzu

I have often been afraid to make steps that push me outside of my comfort zone. More recently, since I began my Reiki journey I have been taking more and more steps toward a bigger goal.

As of officially this morning, I will be part of the volunteer Complimentary Therapists working within a hospice - supporting the amazing staff, in patients, out patients and their families.

I’ve been called to work like this for a while now and as usual, when the time was right, the Universe has provided this beautiful opportunity for me to share my gift.

I’m lucky enough that I have the ability to spend my time working with energies and I absolutely adore this work. Being allowed this opportunity is something that I will be forever grateful for 🙏🏽

What happens in Vagus does not stay in Vagus…

If you have IBS or other related digestive disorders please feel free to take whatever you feel resonates with you or ask questions privately or on here if you wish 🙏🏽

The vagus nerve is one of the primary components of the parasympathetic nervous system. The vagus nerve flows from the brain through the gut (the solar plexus) and relays messages from the gut directly to the brain and vice versa.

Studies have shown that stress inhibits the function of the vagus nerve and has a detrimental impact on the gut. Allowing the body time to relax and heal allows the vagus nerve to stimulate effectively which has a positive impact on the gut.

The vagus nerve can sense the changes in the gut and transfers this information to the central nervous system which generates an inappropriate response in the body. In short, the vagus nerve calls back to the brain to say there is something wrong and this causes visceral pain and inflammation.

Put simply…stress causes the vagus nerve to behave badly, the gut reacts, this causes stress, the gut behaves badly, the vagus nerve reacts. And the cycle continues (there are other causes of IBS which I will cover separately).

A Reiki session heals the imbalance and allows the body to relax and heal itself. It allows the vagus nerve to be stimulated and react the way that it should. Essentially it is resetting that vicious cycle you get trapped in during IBS.

When there’s an imbalance in the solar plexus, you might experience indigestion and gut pain even if there’s no “medical” reason for it. Reiki aims to clear the blocked energy causing gut disorders and pain.

The reason I advocate for Reiki and how it can help IBS is through both my own experience and what I have seen with my own clients recently. During a Reiki session, a person can relax and this ultimately has positive repercussions on the gut and the body as a whole.

•Supermoon Meditation•

Feeling so blessed to be able to have some time to connect with the energies of the Supermoon last night. It felt really powerful and I even had some new guides join me...tall, bright and strong. I was very grateful for their presence as they helped me to continue to feel supported and grounded.

We’re living in difficult times plus the Supermoon energies may still be affecting us for a few more days - you might be struggling to sleep (I know I was!) or being more lethargic than normal. This can heighten anxieties and stress levels so it’s so important to take time for ourselves.

Try to take time out (even if you can only catch a few minutes) just to spend being kind yourself. Say well done for getting through today or any small wins that you’ve achieved. If you don’t have any outdoor space, I have suggested to clients to chose a meditation space that is close to a window 💚

I hope everyone is staying safe and as usual, if anyone has questions or just needs to talk then I’m always available 🤍🤍🤍

If anyone is stuck for things to do with bored little ones in the house, a lot of Care Homes are looking for people to be Pen Pals with the Residents over the next few months - especially while they’re isolated from their friends and family.

Cards, paintings or just a little note can brighten up even the most fullest of days and let someone know they’re not alone ❤️❤️❤️

To be extra careful, we used water to stick the envelope down 😊

I don’t always feel strong but I will always continue to share my journey.

If my story can help even one person to keep going then that’s all that matters 🙏🏽

I am grounded.

I am connected with the energy of Mother Earth.

I am safe.

I am grateful for my powerful roots and my body, mind and soul are centred and strong.

Can I help activate the crystals?

I’ve never forced my beliefs on my son. I have given him reiki sessions and we often use mindfulness as a way to help him make sense of some of the difficult feelings he might have - but we’ve never talked in depth about my own practice, crystals, energies or anything holistic.

It was a beautiful moment for me when he asked if he could help with crystals before my event last weekend. It’s not something I’ve ever done and I’ve never actually worked with my crystals in front of him. I asked him where he learnt to activate and his response was a shrug. I felt something magical in the way he used the the selenite and it seemed to be something inherent within him.

The innocence of children is something so magical that should be completely cherished. I’m excited to see how my son grows and what kind of influence my practices have on him as he gets older 🙏🏽

Embracing the New Moon in Scorpio tomorrow and heading off on a new adventure. After a long journey I’m excited to actually be here ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜Change is coming for all of us...”And although the road might not be easy, the place where we end up will resonate with us so long as we don’t resist change. It is coming.”

I have spent a long time healing myself and sharing my gift with others more recently...tomorrow I will be taking a big leap and providing treatments at the Holistic&Mystic Show in Dorking 🙏🏽
