My reiki guide didn't actually start as a book.
It started as daily posts in Reiki Chatters, my private Facebook group for my Reiki students.
I wanted to make the 21 days of self-healing after Reiki Level 1 feel a little more inspiring, so each day I shared a different theme.
Before long, I realised those themes weren't just for my students.
So they became this guide.
A guide you can work through over 21 days, dip into whenever you feel called, or return to when your Reiki practice needs a little refresh.
Sometimes the simplest ideas become the ones we're most grateful for 🔥🐉💚

Lughnasadh, or Lammas, marks the first harvest of the year.
It reminds us that before we look ahead to what still needs doing, we can take a moment to honour what has already grown.
Not just the harvest in the fields, but the quiet harvest within ourselves. The lessons we've learned, the challenges we've overcome, the courage we've found and the seeds we've nurtured, often without even realising.
However you're spending today, I hope you find a moment to give thanks for all that has brought you to this point.
Wishing you a blessed Lughnasadh. 🌾🔥🐉💚

Some reels are just a collection of photographs.
This one feels like a collection of moments, starting back at Imbolc…
Every image holds a memory. A challenge I said yes to. A place that changed me. A conversation that mattered. A quiet victory that nobody else saw. A dream that became reality.
When I look back, I don't just see where I've been. I see everything that has been growing beneath the surface.
As we move towards the first harvest, I'm reminded that harvesting isn't only about what we achieve. It's also about recognising who we've become along the way.
What are you proud of and getting ready to harvest?

So instead, here's a little update from me!
This week I've been extremely honoured to be behind the scenes filming for a brand new documentary series, World of Monsters!
I can't tell you too much just yet (you know how these things are!), but I can honestly say it's going to be well worth a watch.
I've had such a brilliant couple of evenings with a fantastic team, and I can't wait until I'm able to share more with you 🔥🐉💚

I can't remember exactly where I took this photo, but as soon as I saw it again I knew it belonged here this week.
There's something about this time of year. The fields have turned to gold, the hedgerows are full, and the fells stand quietly watching another season unfold. It feels like the landscape itself is telling the story of Lughnasadh.
Maybe that's why this image called to me.
It's amazing how a photograph can find you exactly when it's meant to.
Have you ever rediscovered an old photo that suddenly meant something different?

Lughnasadh has always felt like the forgotten festival of the Wheel. But why?
Is it simply because it arrives during the busy school holidays... or have we forgotten something much deeper?

In this week's CHOOSEDAY blog, I'm exploring why this ancient Celtic festival still has so much to teach us, and why the first harvest might be more important than we realise.

What do you think? Have you celebrated Lughnasadh before?

Before the harvest comes the tending.
As we move towards Lughnasadh, I've found myself thinking less about achievement and more about what has quietly been growing beneath the surface.
Not everything we harvest can be held in our hands.
Sometimes it's a little more courage. A little more peace. A deeper trust in ourselves.
Sometimes it's simply recognising that you are no longer the person who first stepped onto the path. You have become the person who can keep walking it.
As we approach the first harvest, what has quietly taken root in your life this year?

After all these years of practising Reiki and teaching others, one of my favourite evenings of the month is still Reiki Share.
There's something really special about spending time with Reiki people.
No expectations. No pressure to perform. Just a room full of people who understand the quiet magic of Reiki.
It's a chance to step away from the everyday, spend an evening with like-minded people, give and receive Reiki, share experiences over a brew, and simply enjoy being together.
Whether you practise Traditional Usui, Holy Fire®, Karuna Reiki®, Reiki Drum™ or any other style, and whether you have trained with someone other than me, you will be very welcome.

When? The last Wednesday of every month
Where? Clare's CHAT HQ, Penrith

Come as you are. Bring your Reiki. Leave feeling connected 🔥🐉💚

The kingfisher does not hesitate when the moment is right.
It waits, it watches, and then it commits completely. There is no second-guessing. No half-hearted leap.
If the kingfisher has appeared for you today, perhaps you've been waiting for certainty before taking your next step.
The kingfisher reminds us that courage isn't about knowing the outcome. It's about trusting yourself enough to dive.
Ask yourself:
What am I ready to stop watching... and finally move towards?

I came across a beautiful old oak tree recently, and found myself standing beneath its branches for much longer than I'd planned.
The oak has long been a symbol of strength, wisdom and endurance. It reminds us that we don't have to rush. We simply need to stay rooted in what matters.
Maybe that's why our ancestors held these magnificent trees so sacred.
Next time you meet an oak, pause for a moment... and listen. 🌳🔥🐉💚
