“But I haven’t achieved anything today,” she said. And yet she’d bought an extra coffee for the man sat on the street outside the cafe. She’d donated some books to charity on her way into work. She’d sponsored her niece for the marathon she was running and she’d bought cakes for her colleagues ‘just because’. She’d made people feel seen, valued, cared for. She had achieved something so productive that it had the power to make someone’s day. She had achieved kindness. And the

The holidays often shine with light, but for many hearts, this season also awakens a quiet ache. Memories rise, absences feel sharper, and the expectations of joy can make grief feel even heavier. Reiki offers a gentle, sacred way to hold that pain with compassion rather than resistance. Reiki doesn’t take the grief away—because grief is love trying to find a new place to land—but it helps soften the edges. It creates space in the mind, heart, and energy field so you can brea

It’s what happens when your early experiences taught you that connection was fragile, unpredictable, or unsafe. Maybe you were ignored, criticized, dismissed, shamed, or expected to perform perfectly to be accepted. You may feel some of these: 1. Emotional Intensity: Small misunderstandings feel huge. Your nervous system reacts as if you’re being abandoned, even when you’re not. 2. Avoidance Behavior: You pull back first so no one gets close enough to hurt you. Distance feels

I think now is the perfect time to discuss the absolute medicine of allowing everyone to seek light however they will... The festive season approaches at speed and we each have our own ways of coping. Some embrace the joys head-on at full speed and some fear the light it will cast over their pain. Some show face by doing what they feel they should and some see it for what is is under the wrapping paper - a season to spread love and channel goodwill. Whatever sea you are saili

Your soul knows how to heal — it’s your mind that needs to remember. At the deepest level of your being, there is a wisdom that has never been wounded. Your soul carries the blueprint of wholeness, balance, peace, and divine connection. It remembers who you truly are beneath fear, doubt, and past experiences. It knows how to return you to harmony, because that harmony is your original state. The mind, however, is shaped by life: • old stories • learned fears • protective h

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. How we love the “sunlight parts” of life .. answered prayers, good news, breakthroughs, the days when everything feels light and easy. And yes, those are blessings. Those moments keep us going. But if we’re honest, those aren’t the moments that grow us the most. Growth happens in the hidden places. In the confusing, heavy seasons we don’t post about. The moments when you feel buried, not planted. When life feels too tight, too dark,

Empath vs. Highly Sensitive Is there a difference? Not too long ago, I was faced with the question “Am I an Empath or am I just Highly Sensitive?” JUST Highly Sensitive !? Every time I asked myself that question I came up with the same thing… JUST Highly Sensitive? Many people believe them to be totally different and some, in the Empath community, believe that if you do not meet certain guidelines you are not an Empath. Well… I believe you are! So what does it mean to be an E

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we

When I think I can’t do it, a part of me says, “Yes, you can.” When fear tries to stop me, it points out the countless times I’ve walked through my fears. When I want to stay cocooned in my comfort zone, it reminds me of all the times I learned that I could fly. Paying attention, I agree, “Yes, I can!”

Some kindnesses are so powerful they move you to tears. Not because they are grand or loud or monumental, but because they arrive exactly when the weight is too much to bear. A stranger who waits with you on the curb whilst your hands shake. A friend who texts "I'm here" without needing a reply. The colleague who says “take a break for a moment - I’ve got this.” These moments often don’t cost the other person a thing; and yet, they are priceless. Because they don’t come to fi
