What Is Being Present/In The Moment
Einstein said “I never think of the future, it comes soon enough.” Tolstoy said “Now is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power.”
When you’re present, your head is no longer full of past or future scenarios, you’re here, focused toward the person you’re interacting with or on the task you’re doing. You can ‘tune out’ distractions from your surroundings. When you’re present, you spend less time analysing and labelling things, people, situations … you learn to appreciate your world more and you become less judgemental.
Staying present can be a bit tough … so remember not to be too hard on yourself if you find you slip back to reflecting on past or future scenarios. Aim for consistency rather than perfection – over time, slipping back into old habits will lessen …
New Training / Healing Treatment
I am pleased to say I have recently completed four days training to become a Holy Fire III (R) Karuna Reiki (R) Master. Holy Fire energy is more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness. It’s both powerful and gentle and provides purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. It was introduced in 2014 by William Rand of the International Centre for Reiki Training (ICRT). Training clearly identified a deep respect is held for the Usui Reiki system and symbols which was quite important to me.
I’m currently offering face to face and distance Holy Fire healing sessions – my intention being to teach Holy Fire III (R) Karuna Reiki (R) (on line and face to face) in the future.

Singing to Boost Your Mood
Kindness to self is especially important at this challenging time in our lives, when it can be difficult to stay buoyant and manage our moods. I’ve found singing can be a good de-stressor. The other day, instead of singing and bopping along to maybe some funk or soul or rock, I felt strongly drawn to sing a short and simple healing song I’d not heard for a long time, a version of which I’ve shared with you below (with permission) …. it reminded me that we’re all only human … try just Loving Yourself The Way YOU are…
A touch of humour …
I’m often reminded how laughter really is so often the best medicine. With the challenges we’re all enduring because of the pandemic, I recently looked for ways to boost my mood. On this occasion I decided to sing a humorous song to make me smile (and hopefully you too …)… one I’d not heard for several years – “Skin,” originally sung by an American chap called Alan Sherman.
