Just look at just a few samples of the Thankyou cards that I have received for doing funerals.

I just love getting your feedback and understanding the impact I have had on your very personal day.

Funerals can be so different and include anything you want. If you want it to be funny and humorous it can be, if you want it to be of a shamanic style and drum the person farewell then you can, if you want it to really be about the person then it shall be.

As a civil celebrant, I underwent rigorous training with Civil Ceremonies. And this has always stuck with me. How to be friendly yet professional, how to be funny yet get it right and how being quiet at the appropriate times is really important to me.

If you need a funeral ceremony, cremation, natural funeral or celebration of life please remember my name Andrea Jackson, The Holistic Celebrant and tell you funeral director you would like use me. Or please contact me directly and I can help you get started.

On Tuesday 15th September, I will be back, all refreshed and recharged ready to deliver another wonderful Gong and Sound Healing session.

I really do look forward to these events and know that you all get so much out of attending these sessions, somethimes wishing I could carry on all night!!

For those who are curious about the session, you come along with you bedding material, mat, pillow, blanket etc and settle down on the floor (or you could use a chair if thats easier). I will then take you through an hour of sound from tibetan bowls, chimes, crystal bowls, voice, drum and many other interesting and healing sounds.

Let the sounds wash over you to create a sense of calm, peace and release of tension, pain and anxiety. The vibration of sound blend with the body to bring it back to how it should be for the moment.

If you think you might give it a try then please message me to book your place and learn how to pay your £15 investment.

I look forward to seeing you all.

Have you had a pain for a long time?

Does the same pain keep reappearing?

Well I have a technique that works.

It all began when my NLP tutor spotted I was suffering with a bad back. I kept getting the same pain, but worse every time, and I had had the pain for over 30 years. It could be debilitating.

My tutor ran this technique on me. Working with the brain and pain. And do you know, the pain went.

So I learnt the skill. It's simple yet, really effective.

If you would like to be out of pain then give me a call or message me. Even if you would like to hear more about it, I am happy to talk to you.

Take a Moment to Breathe 🌿

Life moves fast, and it's easy to get caught up in deadlines, responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. But sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is pause.

Take a slow, deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. Then gently breathe out. Repeat a few times and notice how your body begins to relax and your mind feels a little clearer.

Relaxation isn't about doing nothing—it's about giving yourself permission to rest, recharge, and reconnect with the present moment. Even five minutes of mindful breathing can reduce stress, improve focus, and bring a sense of calm to your day.

Today, be kind to yourself. Step outside, listen to the birds, enjoy a warm drink, or simply close your eyes and breathe. Your well-being matters, and every small moment of self-care makes a difference.

Breathe deeply. Relax fully. Live mindfully. 💚

Today I will be holding my monthly sound and gong bath at Barley Village Hall at 7.30 pm.

So what do you need to bring? Something to make laying on the floor comfy, a blanket/quilt, pillow or even a comfy chair .

What can you expect?
Every person will have a different experience. But you may experience listening to and feeling the sounds of Tibetan bowls, chimes, gongs, ocean drum, drum and my voice. Just let the sounds wash over you. Your body will reset to your best state possible. And the vibration of the sounds will assist this process.

You will go into a deep relaxed state or even sleep and rejuvenate.

How do I book onto the session?
Just message me today. The cost is £15 each and I can send you my details.

I look forward to seeing you tonight.

Well I'm back and talking again after my silent retreat.

I know that some people f you felt you couldn't possibly do this and I have to say on our first full day, I too was wondering the same thing. I was bored and frustrated whilst doing a mindful walk.

But I stuck with it. And the beauty of the weekend began to reveal itself.

I received some interesting awareness about myself and it made me curious about my behaviour.

I also had some amazing "out of body" experiences. I feel truly grateful for the time and space allowed for me to have this wonderful, yet emotional insights.

One of my shocking experiences was I was allowed to die. I was afraid, scared and couldn't get people to understand me. When I woke I was in floods of tears. So I asked the question "What was I to learn from that?". And the answer was love. If you didn't have love in your heart at the point of death or unable to have love in your heart then you would find your passage/death harder. Immediately my sadness lifted.

5 days in silence with 6 people I didn't really know has been well worth the effort. Now to bring back to my everyday life some of my learning.

Many blessings

Ssshhh!!

Well from Sunday to Thursday I am going on a silent retreat.

And quite often the reaction from people has been to laugh at me. But I know I can do this and love it because I did it last year.

We will gently go into the silence on Sunday and maintain this until Thursday afternoon. Performing yoga, mindfullness and the afternoon to ourselves.

What can I expect to achieve from this?
Well I am entering it this time with an open mind to experience whatever arises. This could be joy, tears, anger, sadness and a whole myriad of experiences. The thing to do is to sit with whatever arises and ask "Why am I feeling this?" And the answer will come at some point maybe in the time away or maybe at home in one of the awareness moments.

It wont necessarily be a spiritual connection period but more about me. But of course I am a spiritual being so I will have to wait and see.

There are no phones, no books, no music, no computers or anything to really occupy your brain so that you dont get diverted from concentrating on you.

I am looking forward to it greatly.

I will let you all know how I feel at the end of the session.

Many blessings
Andrea x
