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…

Reiki for enhancing your healing skills

Energy healing is available to us all – not just the natural healers among us, not for the special or most spiritual few! Connect in to the source of the energy, become the “hollow bone”, and just let the energy flow. And make sure it’s source energy you are flowing, not your own – then…
