One of my favourite quotes is “some souls leave behind a trail of light that is never forgotten. ✨ I’m always saying to my Reiki students that I imagine we all leave a sparkly trail of light energy wherever we go. How positive (or negative) that energy is, is up to you. 🌀 The clearer we can keep our energy, and the higher we keep our vibration, the better – not just for us, but for…
Throughout my career, I’ve met far more people who aren’t willing to take responsibility for what shows up in their life than those who are.

Are you aware of the power of the words you’re using day in and day out? 🗣️ I was listening to my coach talk about this on her podcast The Mind School where she was interviewing a psychologist who said the term “experiencing depression” instead of “struggling with depression“.
