Its all in the title really and yes I stole it from a Robbie Williams song with the lyrics 'If your willing to change the world, let love be your energy. I got more than I need, when your love shines down on me'
It kind of fits the Reiki ethos because it goes where it is needed and wanted. I am merely a transmitter of this energy and pass it on to anyone or anything that requires it.
So where does love come in to it? Well love is the centre of our life force energy (Reiki) and emanates everywhere from humans to animals and the world with live in. I've been through some shit throughout my life as my closest friends will testify, but I have never lost the ability to love or smile, even in the most upsetting of circumstances I've found the positives that have got me through to the other side. There's not a better feeling than making someone you don't know smile or laugh! Give it a try.
Now I am a qualified Reiki Therapist I can let you know what I will be offering along with my pricing structure:
I am a mobile Reiki Therapist and can visit you at your home or you can come and see me at a convenient location be it at my house in Wednesbury or a room at the college in Willenhall (This does not incur any extra charges).
1 hour Reiki treatment - £40 (The first consultation will last around an hour and a half)
1/2 hour Reiki taster session - £25 (1st consultation will be around an hour)
I will discount a block booking of 5 sessions to £150 giving a reduction of £10 per session.
I will also be introducing a recommend a friend deal where I will take £5 off your next session if you recommend me as a Reiki Therapist and they have had a treatment.
The taster session can be either upright in a chair or on a therapy table. The full hour treatment will always be on a therapy table unless specified by the client or a lack of space available. The reason for this is because I need to be able to get to all parts of your body and I am some what constricted if you are sat in a chair. It also allows the client to fully relax and in some cases drift off to sleep.
In both treatments the first session will involve a 'getting to know you' discussion where I take some notes and understand any problems you have or are worried about and need me to concentrate on. This is a one off discussion and should take no more than half an hour.
I hope things are a little clearer and your as excited as me! Have a great weekend, its going to be a hot one. Yes, we are hitting October the 1st and its touching tropical daytime temperatures! Enjoy it because it will be snowing soon.

Grounding and Psychic Protection
I was lucky enough to be invited to the first 2 weeks of the Psychic Development Course at college as it was felt the information and guidance was relevant for energy workers and would assist in keeping our energies balanced and vibrant as well as clearing down our own spaces at work and home.
We started the evening with a guided meditation to bring through the energy for the evenings work. Its a wonderful way to get us all focused and energised.
We discussed at length what grounding was and how it can affect us if we do not ground ourselves after receiving or giving treatments. I know for sure that I wouldn't attempt to drive my car until I was grounded because I come out after treatments feeling light and fuzzy and not quite with it. To ground yourself is to bring you back in to your body and be aware of your surroundings again. This can be bought on by stamping, heavy tapping on your arms and body and also through Chinese bells and bongs. It is our duty as a therapist to ensure that our client is grounded and ready for their journey home.
Psychic protection is a generic term for what we as energy workers would use it for. Its a means for the therapist to put up an invisible boundary to stop unwanted negative energy from seeping in to our aura whilst working with clients. For instance if your client is on a particular downer, we will not take on those negative energies and hinder our work with others. This does not mean we will not empathise with our clients situations in life, far from it, it will help by not being clouded by the negative energies and give a real sense of balance throughout the treatment and hopefully help focus and re-energise the client.
We did an exercise to see if we could feel the energies that would be surrounding another person. I was surprised that my perception was very strong and I could feel a difference in heat when I moved in to their space.
The evening was a wonderful experience and insight in to psychic awareness and I can't wait for the 2nd installment.

My Reiki 2 Attunement Day
The wait was over and my 2nd attunement day was here. It was again a truly wonderful experience and I learned a lot during the day about what is expected of a Reiki practitioner. We started the morning with a guided meditation from Debra Goldston who hosted the day, which helped set us up and energise ourselves for an intense day of learning and discovery.
We then discussed what a therapist would require, there is so much to think about and put in to practice before the far easier task of giving Reiki! Here s a list of things you need to take in to account:
Therapy couch, blankets, couch covers,pillows, candles, music, crystals, hand sanitiser, couch paper and tissue paper. I'm sure my fellow therapist's will put me straight on things I have forgotten.
At the end of the day its the experience for your client that is of upper most importance. The feeling and ambiance created can help your treatment start on the right foot and the less clinical the area is the more welcoming it can be perceived and the more likely your client will relax more and hopefully repeat book.
We then set up our designated area's before running through a Reiki session with a dummy client (Sorry Anna and Lizie!) This was a good learning curve because I struggled in certain area's and need to be more confident in the questions and answers i give the client prior to the treatment. My clients hair was an issue that I hadnt even spotted until I had started the treatment because of the style of hair I was pulling it when placing my hands which irritated poor Anna! Luckily for me I did manage to complete my treatment and she reported feeling much heat and relaxation during and after. The following day she reported that in the evening she felt full of life, so I'm pleased with my first treatment's outcome.
After lunch we recieved our Reiki Level 2 attunement. It was very similar to the first attunement only the experience was intensified by a great golden and silver light and was oozing with love and compassion. It really was an intense heart warming experience. my hands where really hot with heat and I could feel a difference in the reiki intensity. It is very difficult to put in to words your feelings after an attunement and I don't think I have done it justice. Its safe to say its addictive!
We then disussed how to send distance healing. Which was an interesting area of Reiki. Anybody at any time can recieve Reiki, all that is required is your intention to do so and an open mind. I know it will be difficult for some people to comprehend that this can be done at distance but I have to say after trying it, I can safely say that it does work!
It was a great day crammed full with information and practical help. I look forward to starting my case studies and qualify properly.

My most excellent adventure!
I hope you all had a great weekend and remembered those people we lost on 9-11. I'm sure you can all remember where you where on that fateful day 10 years ago. I was working in a electrical shop, it was on every single telly and was an incredibly distressing day. A truly awful day that bought the world together in mourning the lives lost and highlighted the amazing togetherness of a nation. God bless.
I think the pundits would call it 'squeeky bum time' its the time just before a gig or the minutes prior to a big game where the butterfly's awaken and the adrenalin builds to the point of bursting. Above all else I can't wait to help people and show what a wonderful healing modality Reiki is and speak to as many people as possible. I'm not afraid of starting my practitioner journey, I am relishing it and the challenges that I may face during my first year of business. I intend to build the business steadily and in time add other aspects such as a range of products based around spirituality. In all fairness the opportunities are endless and I feel this is just the beginning of a most excellent adventure.
A close friend of mine talked about bubbling over and gushing when talking about Reiki and I cant disagree, As I write these blogs and discuss my plans my hands burn with anticipation of the years ahead and I feel as though this is my calling in life. Its only now that my life's path has turned on to the Reiki road!
After tomorrows Reiki Level 2 attunement I hope to use my blog with my patients approval to give accounts of my Reiki sessions and include their comments and feelings before and after a treatment. It will give you the reader an insight in to my treatments and an unbiased view of Reiki. I wont shirk my responsibilities and only give good accounts because that will be disrespectful to my client and myself. You learn by your mistakes and I hope to improve my treatments and this can only be done with love and honesty.
Remember to have your 'Quiet time' .... go on I dare you! Comments and advice are welcome, we are always learning and progressing in life.

Refreshed And Ready
So I am back from my holidays and things are clear in my mind and in place ready for the next chapter in my Reiki Journey. Next Tuesday I take my Reiki Level 2 Practitioner Level which means I am unleashed on the world. I'm looking forward to my day with Debra Goldston, my teacher and principle of the Clear Intentions College in Willenhall. My website is being built, my pricing structure is in place and most importantly the Reiki is flowing and getting stronger by the day. My confidence is growing along with my ability to turn to Reiki at the drop of a hat which is a wonderful feeling. I have 10 minutes here and there (as well as my nightly ritual) and feel the benefits daily. Above all else I know that this path is right path and over time will bring me happiness and fulfillment on so many different levels and with a bit of luck a career to match!!
Prior to my holiday I visited a friend who had two dogs. He wouldn't let them in at first because one was a little frisky with strangers. It got to the point that he had to let them in because of their yaps and barking where drowning out our putting the world to writes.It was funny because my friend is an open sceptic to all things spiritual and during our long conversation his dog kept coming back for more Reiki! My hand was burning and she was as calm as anything and to his surprise didn't bark. She then proceed to lick me which I took as a thank you, she then disappeared back in the other room. It didn't occur to me what I was doing for about 10 minutes until I felt the heat in my hand. Reiki never ceases to amaze me!
I thought it would be nice to explain what I do during Reiki to Helen before I go to sleep and get her to try it to. She felt real warmth in her hands and a state of calmness during her experiences and dropped off very quickly. (Snoring like a trooper!) I know I keep harping on about it but 'me time' is so important. If you can clear your head before sleeping you WILL get a much better nights sleep.
I feel a bit of a blogfest over the next week or so! Batten down the hatches it could get hot!
