I’ve been practicing energy work and teaching Reiki for over 20 years now, and I see keeping on top of my energy hygiene as being as important as brushing my teeth and showering every day. 🚿 🪥 WHAT IS ENERGY HYGIENE? It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite. If I hadn’t kept on top of my…
Recently I’ve had a couple of clients talking about how they’re managing their blended families when there appears to be a vast difference in how both parents parent the kids with their new sets of partners.

I often come across Reiki students who are chomping at the bit to learn as much as they can about healing and personal development. I’ll be teaching them Reiki one day and they mention they’ve just learned reflexology, next minute they’re learning tarot, they’re going for a 4 day retreat, doing a bunch of other healing techniques one after the other to “heal” themselves. I don’t blame them – when I first got into this world I was soooo…
