How to use Reiki for your daily energy protection...

This practice is so simple and easy to practcie each day. It is especially helpful before an event or experience to help shield and uplift your energy.

For example, you mght want to use it in the morning before you start work or go to an event where there are lots of people.

The key to this practice is that it will raise your frequency and make leaving you feel super empowered so that you feel like you have this incredible support bubble around you to help tackle anything that comes your way! It helps you remember just how powerful you are and that you are in charge of your inner power!

Practice:
1. Connect to your breath and notice the inhale and the exhale. As you inhale, call in the Reiki energy - this energy of high vibrations - abundance, love, joy and connection. The energy of the entire Universe.

2. Imagine the energy expanding throughout your entire being with each inhale. Notice it first expand through your heart and then out through your chest and then your entire body.

3. With each exhale, focus on the intention of letting go of any energy and clearing the space for more aligned energy.

4. Continue noticing the Reiki energy surrounding your entire body and lifting your vibration. Imagine it becoming this shield of high vibration, locking in this soul-aligned energy with you. Perhaps you see it as a colour - white or gold or pink. Or perhaps you feel it as a strong sensation. It may also be a symbol or an image like a guide or an animal. Just imagine that nothing can pe*****te this shield without your permission.

5. Sit in this powerful shield of Reiki for as long as you like. Continue to remember it throughout the day and connect back in. You may want to come up with a mantra you can say or choose a crystal that helps you remember and anchor in this protective shield.

I know many of us go through times where we feel “disconnected” from our spirituality or from our spiritual self.

Sometimes we just want a break. We want to feel, laugh, have fun, put our family first, focus on our physical health, or perhaps we start re-questioning everything…

And then there are times when we’re right in the thick of it - all the events, the modalities, the crystals, the practices…

The real question isn’t “Is spirituality working for me?” but rather, “How can I make it work for me?”

Because you don’t have to choose.

You’re never actually “not spiritual” or “not connected.”

Let’s think about what spirituality really means. It’s the part of you that is simply connected to all that is. Your awareness and experience of this concept of interconnectedness 🥰 thats it.

And sometimes, we simply forget.

Sometimes we purposely push it away because it’s been too much.

Just as you are human, you are also spiritual. And you need to remember that you are both.

Is it okay if sometimes that’s hard to remember, and you’d rather sit in one more than the other?

Absolutely.

But do it with intention. With conscious choice.

Every part of you is worthy of being nurtured, cared for, and given what it needs to bloom.

You’re not one more than the other. You’re all of it… and so much more.

You’re the entire universe, and every treasure of Mother Earth is connected to you too.

So you are just as important in this earthly realm as you are in the spiritual one, and vice versa.

You don’t have to choose between being human and being spiritual.

You get to be it all 🩷

And if you’re questioning your authenticity as a practitioner or teacher because you’ve doubted your own beliefs and connection, I believe it’s these experiences and seasons of uncertainty that make us relatable, authentic, they humble us and remind us to meet others where they’re at without judgement. They help us hold space for others unconditionally 🙏

The path isn’t about avoiding our humanity or our spirituality, it’s about embracing it fully!

One of my favourite words in Japanese is Kotodama - this is the idea that words carry their own vibration and can have great impact on ourselves and those around us.

This is a beautiful reminder in our day-to-day, but also when we work with the Reiki symbols (for Level 2 and above practitioners).

Symbols are more than visual tools. They carry energy, and when we work with them consciously and with intention, they can deepen and amplify our healing practices.

Not only when we draw them, but also when we speak their names.

This is Kotodama - the power and intention held within the word itself. The magic!

Like all the tools we work with in Reiki, the essence of a symbol is not simply in its shape. It is in its vibration, and in the relationship we develop with it. When we slow down enough to truly connect, the symbols can become an invitation into a deeper experience.

So the next time you work with your Reiki symbols, slow it down and ask yourself:

1. What am I feeling as I connect with this symbol?
2. What do I experience when I speak its name with intention?
3. Can I feel into its energy rather than just focusing on its shape?

The symbols can begin to feel less like tools we think we have to use and more like guardians that support us along the journey.

But, there is something important to remember... The power was never outside of you.

Not in the symbol.
Not in the word.
Not in the ritual.

These tools no matter the modality, are used to help us remember. To help us reconnect with something we may have forgotten.

They give us a pathway back to our own inner knowing, especially in those moments when we feel disconnected from ourselves.

But ultimately, the energy we are seeking to connect with is already within us.

We are Kotodama.

Our words carry vibration.
Our intentions carry vibration.
We carry vibration.

So the real magic is not in discovering the power in the symbol, but in remembering the power that has been here within us all along.

Books, Connection + Conversation💓

Like crystals, books have been a part of my life since I can remember. Books have inspired me, comforted me, challenged me and at time completely changed the way I see the world.

Last year, I was fortunate to start the Nourished Energy book club and what I have come to love most is that it has become about so much more that the books!

It's become a meaningful space of connection, laughter, conversation and sharing ideas. A place where we can be curious together, where there are no right or wrong answers, and where conversations sparked by a book often lead to reflections on ourselves, our lives and much deeper questions.

This isn't a traditional book club, but rather an opportunity to use the book as inspiration.

Whether we've read the book or not, loved it or left it, we meet each month for heartfelt connections over a relaxed dinner. It's a space for anyone who is craving "in real life" connection - in a world that feels rushed and distracted, this is an opportunity to slow down and share meaningful conversation where everyone is welcome, heard, seen and worthy of taking up space.

If feels like something you'd like to be part of, get in touch xo

Our books for August are: Wintering by Katherine May and Heart Code by Bradley Nelson. And we'll meet for self funded dinner on 27 August (Location TBC) but always open to recommendations!

Most people know about Reiki as a relaxation technique. And while relaxation is part of the experience and often one of the first things people notice, Reiki provides so many more benefits.

Reiki works with universal life force energy - this is simply the energy that sustains all living things. Different traditions and cultures have different names for it but the name is less important than the experience of connection.

Everything is constantly moving towards balance, the seasons, our bodies and even our emotional states. Reiki supports this universal natural process by helping us return to a more balanced and harmonious state. This is one of the reasons Reiki practitioners don't need to know what's "wrong". Reiki nourishes the body, mind and soul - restoring balance where it's needed.

Reiki meets you where you're at no matter who you are and what you're going through. And like many practices, the benefits of Reiki extend far beyond a single treatment, impacting their entire lives.

For me one of the greatest gifts of Reiki is that it reminds us there is something bigger than our worries, our fears and stories. When we remember that we are supported, connected and held by life itself, we soften, we trust, we let go and we are empowered to face whatever is thrown our way...

The more we do this work, the more we realise where true freedom exists….

I spent many years asking myself Who am I? Why am I here? Why do I feel this way? What wound is this connected to?

Those questions bring awareness and compassion, and I’m deeply grateful for them. But there also came a point where I realised I could spend my entire life trying to understand myself and still miss the experience of simply being alive.

Reflection is valuable, but endless analysis can become another way of leaving the present moment. We become so focused on understanding ourselves that we slowly step away from the very thing we’re searching for.

Freedom.

The mind loves to search - for the reason, the lesson, the pattern, believing that understanding will finally bring peace. Yet the search itself can become the thing that keeps us feeling separate from it.

This is why I love Reiki so deeply.

At its essence, Reiki isn’t about becoming someone different or trying harder to heal. It is an invitation to soften, to surrender our need to control every experience, and to return to presence.

It’s no coincidence that the Reiki Principles begin with Just for today. Not forever. Not when you’ve healed enough. Just for today.

Again and again, Reiki brings us back to the only place freedom has ever existed.

This moment.

That doesn’t mean denying pain or pretending suffering doesn’t exist. We can feel without believing it defines who we are. We can meet ourselves in this moment as we are with what we need.

Perhaps that’s the real invitation of healing.

Just for today.

Just for this breath.

Just for this moment 🩷
