Back when I was in my early twenties I met a group of mates that became my “soul family” – when we met, it felt like we’d known each other for many lifetimes already, and I’d never experienced that feeling with anyone before. 😍 When I met this crew of new mates, a few of them had learned Reiki. One of them was a Reiki Master and she did a session on me, my first ever Reiki…
Recently I shared a blog called “Are You The Red Flag?” and promised to follow up with some more examples of what some more red flags can look like from those clients who’ve been wounded in past relationships and are now bringing their baggage into the next one. So here we are! REAL EXAMPLES (FROM MY CLIENTS) 🚩 I’m not talking about the obvious red flags like cheating or abuse… I’m talking about the sneaky…

Emotional pain gets a bad rap; but at least pain actually moves you. Confusion paralyses you and keeps you stuck. 😳 PAIN HAS A JOB. CONFUSION JUST SITS THERE LIKE A USELESS EX. Pain is clear, loud, uncomfortable. When something hurts enough, you do something about it. You leave, you speak up, you change.
