Reiki Sound Healing – what is it?
The Reiki Sound Healing weekend is in two weeks – but you might be wondering, “er, what is it?” So I thought I’d answer some of the questions people have asked, here on the blog! Is it the same as Reiki Drumming? In a word, no 🙂 Reiki Drumming is a system put together by…

Healing voice: a conversation
As you might know, I love vocal sound healing more than most things! It really has become the heart of my practice over the years. I was delighted to be invited by my beloved friend Maggie Rose Cunningham to take part in a conversation about sound healing, joined by Laura Daligan and Katie Gerrard. We…

Reiki and sound healing: perfect harmony
Today is 14 February, and you know what special day that is? No, not the V-word – it’s World Sound Healing Day! Every day is a sound healing day for me. Reiki is one of my most frequently used, go-to energies, as you all know, but singing and drumming are two of my every day…

Energy healing sources: skill and choice
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…

Using the voice for healing and seidr – an interview
Last week I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Katie Gerrard – hypnotherapist, Seidr expert and author of “Seidr: the gate is open” – about my healing voice work. Katie and I had a talk recently about Seidr, the Old Norse shamanic rites of seership, and my preference to use voice instead of drums…

Attachments as a barrier to healing
We’ve just had (last night/this morning) an enormous full moon in Pisces. In my own readings on the healing properties of this moon, the important emphasis was on letting go of old stories and making room for something new to come in. We can work with the moon itself, especially right now, to receive the…

A shamanic approach to Reiki
I love Reiki healing. I do Reiki every day (Hatsurei ho, in case you’re interested…) and I think it is the best tool a healer can have in their collection. It is also the easiest way to connect to source and to channel healing without getting tired, the easiest way to do self healing, and…

The best guidance for getting un-stuck
Just because we are on a healing path doesn’t mean we can always see the next steps. So what do we do when, despite being committed to a path of personal development, we find ourselves unable to move forward into healing?
