I keep seeing this picture around on social media with the quote “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…
In the West we say “panic panic! Everything is out of control!” In the Buddhist world they say “relax relax! Everything is out of control.” I heard this quote on a podcast recently where they were talking about the current pandemic and increased fear and anxiety globally.

Over one summer, we had a few weeks of good sunny weather (almost unheard of in London!) and everyone was noticeably happier. One day, I stepped out of the door and it was grey, rainy and miserable.

An inspiring woman called Dr Jill Bolte Taylor wrote a powerful book called a Stroke of Insight. In this book she talks about how she realised, as a Doctor, that her body was suffering a stroke, and knew exactly what steps would happen in her body, witnessing it all happen from within herself.
