Let's Get Personal

17 years ago I left my husband and at the time had 3 children under the age of 5, I quickly went spiraling into depression and had no idea what I was going to do. By the laws of synchronicity I stumbled across a Reiki course. I had no idea what it was but something told me to do it, so I did. That weekend my life began a path of personal growth and profound change. Over the past 17 years I have learnt to heal many emotional traumas that I was holding on to from my past that had manifested into illnesses within my body. I no longer have any of these illnesses. I feel happy and healthy, but most of all I feel peace and I am extremely grateful for all of the lessons I have learnt on my journey. During this time I have completed my Reiki Level 2 and my Reiki Masters, certified crystal healing courses, Angel Intuitive Courses with Doreen Virtue and a Mediumship Course with Lisa Williams. I have read just about every self help book and spiritual book I could get my hands on and have learnt the most powerful lessons that we as humans are here to learn.

Unconditional love and forgiveness.

I can tell you these are the most personal gifts you can give yourself. They free you from any attachment or emotions that are holding you back or causing dis-ease within your body.

I have also recently been introduced to Pellowah healing which has had the most amazing impact on my life at this point. It has given me a radical shift in consciousness, (which it says it will do) and has given me a clarity I never thought possible. I have taken on learning all about technology and surprising even to myself, I am retaining everything I am learning. Something I never thought possible at my age as technology has never been my friend.

Pellowah has gifted me the ability to see my direction and purpose in life clearer than ever before. It has allowed me to hear my guides with distinct clarity and be able to follow my guidance with purpose. Through doing this I have opened up my heart chakra and my passion for everything I do now is overflowing.
With humble love and light I am now able to share these gifts with anyone who needs help on their journey of healing and self discovery also.

It has been a vision for quite some time to set up a training and healing room where like minded souls can gather for mediation, group healing, personal development and spiritual circles, or just to gather in a safe space for a chat over a cuppa.

This time has now come to fruition and the journey begins again.

This sacred space is now complete and we will also be running Reiki Courses, Pellowah Course and Crystal healing Course for children as well as adults.
If you would like more information on any of these course or sessions we run, or maybe just need some guidance on your journey I can be contacted through our website at

I look forward to meeting many more people on this wonderful journey of enlightenment.
In Love and Light

The Positive Effects of Meditation in Human Health

Meditation is an infamous subject for discussion around the world. Almost all of us have heard about the positive effects of meditation in some extent. We get a lot of our impressions about meditation from newspapers, visual media like television programs and of course the internet. It’s hard to tell how much of this information is true and how much has been made up or exaggerated. In one of  our previously published article we've discussed the relationship between meditation and relaxation in detail. In addition to that, in this post we will discuss some positive effects of meditation on our health.

Meditation for Young Kids 

Meditation helps us to establish self-control and the fact that it can help us deal with stress and illness is undisputed. What would happen if meditation was included in school curriculum? Children are quick learners and if they are trained in basic meditation skills in the early stages of their life there would be incredible benefits evident within a few years! This was revealed by Will Stanton a famous writer and activist in his February 2015 article describing the reasons of bringing meditation in to school very nicely.

Kids are versatile and eager to learn but as they grow older it is harder to develop positive, healthy habits. By teaching children meditation means we will actually be giving them more tools to handle stress and unhappiness in their future.

Effect of Meditation in Human Brain 

The Harvard University recently discovered a new advantage of meditation on the brain, through analyzing MR images they have been able to ascertain that our brain’s grey matter can be rebuilt within just eight weeks through meditation, making it easier for us to learn things and memorise.

Fundamentally no specific technique necessarily leads to meditation, we just need to place ourselves in a quiet, comfortable position and begin to relax. This could be sitting cross legged, lying down or sitting at ease in a chair. While meditating we just need to let our thoughts, feelings and whatever emotions we are experiencing at the time flow through us. Don’t judge them, just let them come and go and be at peace.

Physical Effects 

Meditation has the power to go beyond treatments and can provide a visible effects on your body too. Those who regularly practice stress reduction techniques like meditation and yoga can physically change the cells of their body to effect diseases. People who go through regular mindful meditation can see telomere protein length differences within themselves.The impact of meditation in our body cell is huge according to an article published by Lisa Winter in IFL Science! website.It is suggested that our minds and bodies are effected by one another, but it actually depends on to make it work successfully.

Psychosocial interventions like mindfulness meditation will help you feel better mentally, but they can also influence key aspects of your biology. Thus Meditation can help us to find the meaning of our lives. And it is also important for us to let us live as a human rather than treating ourselves as a machine.

Relaxing with the Help of Meditation

To this day, meditation is often viewed as something of an alternative medicine by many people in Western culture, but survey says that meditation and yoga is becoming increasingly popular and accepted. In fact, there have been numerous studies conducted that all but prove its health benefits and how it can have a positive effect on our lives. It is said to have helped people suffering from mental disorders, stress, depression and various other conditions. Meditation can also help us examine problems and concerns from a fresh perspective. Not only that but it can also help our bodies in a physical sense too. Ultimately, meditation relaxes our body and soul.

That said, it doesn’t affect everyone in the same way. It is said that some people will feel slightly better, some will be affected greatly in a positive way and a select few can have a life changing experience. That's why meditation is considered as the new yoga to bring mindfulness into the workplace.

If you haven’t engaged in meditation, it’s time to start reading and learning about it. The proven benefits include:

•  Reduction in stress and anxiety levels. Lower stress levels lead to better health in general and a number of flow on effects.

•  Higher levels of fertility in women

•  Lowering of blood pressure

•  Reduces tension based pain

•  Improves the immune system

Create the Right Setting!

So how does one go about meditation? It’s all about creating the right setting. This means being in a quiet, comfortable place where external distractions are limited. Sit yourself in a comfortable position (this doesn’t necessarily have to be the well-known crossed legs position) and make sure you are sitting in a way that your spine is supporting your weight of your upper body. Putting on some relaxing music is a good idea for beginners. Then it’s a matter of closing your eyes, focusing on your breathing and shutting the rest of the world out! There are various methods that work for different people. Some imagine a certain imaginary place, others fix their gaze on a single object in front of them, some chant. It all takes practice!

Meditation CDs are one of the best ways to perform guided meditation, and there are lots of meditation CDs available from renowned hypnotherapists like Rick Collingwood.
