October schedule: Questing for power
I am writing this from the Scottish Borders, a home from home for me, where I currently have the added bonus of a very loving canine companion as I wander along a favourite river walk. This morning, before Storm Amy came blowing in, Ruffin and I enjoyed a long walk along the river, high and…

Energy blocks: negative energy?
I taught a Reiki 1 course the other day, and it always makes me think about the way I describe the energy body, and the sensations of perceiving it. I’m always stressing how important it is to notice the way our hands feel or what we see when we work on a client. And at…
