Reiki offered, near or far
We are waiting on Hurricane Ophelia here in Co. Leitrim at the moment. Very calm, even a bit of sunshine here so it is hard to anticipate what is forecast for us. Hopefully all will be well. It is at times like this that we go back to our basic animal needs of having shelter, feeling safe from harm and being protected. Namaste Everyone!

Although we have been reading Angel Cards for a number of years, we decided to refresh and up-skill recently. And so, we successfully completed the Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine “Certified Angel Card Reader” course.
Angel Oracle Cards are very loving, positive cards with uplifting messages.

I hope you are all making the most of the Sun wherever you are and whatever season it may be!
Not only do we boost necessary Vitamin D levels but just seeing the brightness and feeling the warmth of the Sun can boost our Serotonin levels thus balancing our moods and helping to reduce symptoms of Depression.
Here in Ireland today in the North West, we are having a beautiful sunny warm day, great for the Mind, Body and Spirit.
Enjoy!
Its that time of year again – window boxes.
Whether you decide to buy ready made boxes or make up your own, they really do add colour and vitality to the outside of your home, not to mention the therapeutic effects for you and anyone visiting your home.
This window box consists of Marigolds and Pansies. I made it up myself using:
So, about the therapeutic effects, well first of all just being outdoors itself and in the garden working with the earth and the fresh air is great for the mind, body and spirit.
We hear continuously about “Mindfulness”, well I know that when I was planting this box (and four others), I was most definitely in the moment. I was even kneeling on the ground doing so and as such a lot of grounding took place. It is all too easy to keep rushing and “too-ing and fro-ing” in our busy world today. Gardening helps us to connect to Mother Earth.
Even if you are not able to or in a position to do any gardening, it is still possible to ground yourself very easily everyday.
Here is a simple exercise:
Try this a few times, daily if you can and whenever you feel powerless or overcome by a situation.
Feel free to drop a comment on this post or contact us to let us know how you got on with the exercise.
Here is a selection of my personal crystal collection so far! They are stored in a plastic tray used for needlework! I had tried to find wooden printers trays (as recommended) but am still on the lookout!
As you can see, I have a wide variety of colours: pink, clear, black, green, yellow and blue. Over the coming blog posts, I will discuss my collection individually and what the various crystals are used for.
Here is a Malachite crystal with candle holder. Malachite is used in Seichem for drawing out the impurities in the body, cleansing the aura and stimulating the chakras.
Alongside it is a beautiful posy of wild flowers and vase created by Tracey Jean Yappa for the Wise Woman Weekend 2017. This photo was taken of our Altar for the Crystal Workshop.
Here is a selection of photos from our Crystal Workshop at Wise Woman Weekend 2017. Above is our altar for the morning. We have a selection of crystals and methods of cleansing them such as cymbal bells and musical sounds from a xylophone. Imagination and Intention is all that is needed!
