I find myself discussing a sense of purpose with my clients on a regular basis.  As with most things, there are many ways to think about it!  There is the sense of purpose which gets you out of bed in the morning to do whatever you have planned plus the inevitable unexpected things which come…

This is less of a One Minute and more of a 30 Second Wonder.  As previously mentioned, I can be prone to overthinking.  From time to time, I submerge my sense of Reiki wonder and enter a vortex of unhelpful thought patterns.  Monday was one of those days.  By the time my husband returned from…

My work in the field of Reiki fills me with joy in every session. I’m purely a channel for this wonderful healing modality and am so grateful for the work I do with my wonderful clients. Let me share with you some lovely words from a regular client. I love my Reiki sessions with Jackie.…

I’ve been finding it easy to be a bit jaded at the moment, given world events. My heart soared when I heard about the Swiss KlimaSeniorinnen, the older women who sued Switzerland to demand climate action. I’d fallen into the trap of thinking that the changes Mother Earth needs will be instigated by “the younger…

As we approach February, my heart sings when I see that Mother Earth does what she needs to do at this time of year.  We have signs of growth in our garden.  The primroses and snowdrops have started to appear.  The leaves of daffodils are above the soil.  My contribution to this: zero!  The earth…

If you’ve been pontificating about whether to give Reiki with me a try, how about hearing what it’s like from a regular client. “I have been having Reiki sessions with Jackie since February 2023.  I always feel that I am in a safe and trustworthy space, where I am received with competency and understanding.  It’s…

I wonder how many of you might spend a bit too long scrolling mindlessly through your social media feeds? Confession time – I know I do!  I was doing exactly that on Linked In a few weeks ago, until I was stopped in my tracks by a post from a former colleague.  In it, he…

I spend much of my time working with clients to assist them in moving away from patterns of thought and behaviour which no longer serve them.  Frequently, the work I do with clients teaches me valuable lessons too.  At a time of upheaval and change, I’m reflecting on what does and doesn’t serve me.  New…

There was a poetry competition every Spring Term at our daughters’ junior school.  Without fail, every year, someone would have learned “Warning”, by Jenny Joseph, relishing the lines about wearing purple and learning to spit!  I was amazed to learn that Jenny wrote it aged 29 in 1961. The poem has certainly stood the test…

Old friends and colleagues may remember that I used to be a very keen horse rider.  I have let equestrianism take a back seat in the last few years, but recently decided I’d give riding a go again.  I had a private lesson at a local riding school with a very supportive teacher, who really…

During my long corporate career in sales, it was always drummed into us that we were paid for success, rather than effort. All those proposals written, sales calls made, efforts expended, were worth nothing towards our sales targets unless we persuaded customers to sign contracts.  So if you take an average hit rate of one…

Yesterday evening, I realised that a best laid plan was struggling to come to fruition.  I won’t get bogged down in the detail of what it was, but suffice to say that I had expended time, energy and money, only to receive some knock backs and an absence of support for my idea.  I was…

Things occur to me.  Often when I least expect them to.  I believe it’s called Overthinking!  Sometimes the answer to a dilemma also pops up when I least expect it to.   One thing I am sure of is that dwelling, festering, stewing or whatever you may wish to call it, seldom results in working out…
