The manuals are ready… and I’m getting excited!
Starting tomorrow I’ll be teaching Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master training and I genuinely can’t wait to see what unfolds.
No two Reiki trainings are ever the same. You can prepare the manuals, plan the days and get everything ready, but there’s always something you can’t plan for…
The conversations, the experiences, the connections and those moments that seem to arrive exactly when they’re needed.
Three days of learning, experiencing, sharing and going deeper into Karuna Reiki®.
I wonder what these next few days will bring… 🔥🐉💚

Thursday is always a little bit different…

Up early and off to the stables for a wonder-filled morning with the Eden RDA group.

There’s something rather special about Thursday mornings. Ponies, people, fresh air, plenty of laughter and watching those little moments of confidence appear.

I’m very proud to be Head Coach at Eden RDA, and very grateful that this is part of my week.

Why are we so drawn to water?
Waterfalls, rivers, lakes, the sea… There’s something about water that seems to pull us towards it.
But what is it?
Is it the sound of water moving? The reflections on a perfectly still lake? The rhythm of waves rolling onto the shore? The ripples spreading across a river?
Or is it simply the feeling that water somehow washes something away? That even without stepping into it, we feel a little clearer just by being beside it?
I’m not sure there needs to be an answer.
Maybe we’re simply meant to be drawn to water.
What is it about water that draws you in?

At the Autumn Equinox, we reach that brief moment of balance between light and dark before beginning our journey towards the longer nights of winter.
In modern Druid tradition, Alban Elfed, the Light of the Water, marks this turning towards the West and the element of Water. A time of harvest, reflection and gathering in all that we have learned.
But our harvest doesn’t have to be something huge.
Sometimes it’s a boundary we finally held. A lesson learned. A different choice made. A moment when we coped better than we once would have. Those little wins matter too.
And then there are the things we don’t need to take with us.
As Water flows, perhaps we can allow it to wash away some of what no longer serves us, leaving us a little lighter as we journey towards the Winter Solstice.
This week’s CHOOSEDAY is about gathering the lessons, noticing the little wins and asking ourselves one question…
What are you carrying into the dark?

Funny how a little bit of light can completely change what you see.
The woods haven't changed. The bracken hasn't changed. But for a few moments, the sunlight found its way through the trees and suddenly this little patch demanded my attention.
I think we do that too. We can look at the same situation, the same problem, even the same part of ourselves over and over again, and then something shifts and we see it differently.
Sometimes nothing around us needs to change.
Sometimes we just need to see it in a different light 🔥🐉💚

A little insight into my life outside Clare’s CHAT…
Looking at these, they do explain quite a lot about who I am…
The places I’ve lived, the jobs I’ve loved, the things that matter to me, and my apparently unavoidable ability to find a bog.
Your turn. What’s something about you that I’d never guess?

Why are we so fascinated by clouds?
There’s something about clouds that makes us stop and look up. We photograph them, watch them change and disappear, and find familiar shapes hiding amongst them.
And apparently, there’s a name for seeing those faces, animals and dragons in the clouds… pareidolia! It’s our brain’s natural tendency to find familiar patterns in random shapes.
But perhaps part of their magic is much simpler than that. No two skies will ever be exactly the same.
Are you a cloud watcher too? And what’s the strangest thing you’ve ever spotted in the clouds?

Some days Clare’s CHAT takes a bit of a back seat…
Because as much as I love what I do, there are other things in my world that matter to me too.
Today is one of those days. The massage couch can wait, the drums can stay quiet and the emails will still be there later.
For now, my attention is somewhere else entirely.
And actually, I think it’s good for us sometimes to remember that we are so much more than the work we do. 🔥🐉💚

Spiritual maintenance is now complete!
A few days on Anglesey was exactly what I needed. Sea air, ancient places, beautiful landscapes, good food, a little exploring and plenty of time just to be… Oh and dragons!!
There’s something about Anglesey that feels very special. The history, the land, the sea, the stories woven through it all… and I definitely came home feeling like I’d left a little piece of myself there.
So for this week’s Wonder Wednesday, here’s a little glimpse of Ynys Môn through my eyes.
And yes… I’m already wondering when I can go back! 🔥🐉💚

Are some places really different?
Have you ever been somewhere for the first time and known almost immediately that there was something different about it?
That was Anglesey for me.
I can’t really explain what I felt, but from the moment we crossed onto the island it seemed like we had entered somewhere else entirely. And strangely, I noticed it just as strongly when we left.
So this week’s CHOOSEDAY started with a question. What is it that makes some places feel different? Is it the landscape, the history, the people who have lived there before us, something we might call the energy of a place… or is it actually something that changes within us?
I’m not sure there is an answer. But I rather like the question.
