Over the last couple of years in particular, I’ve become very aware of how much things have been gently shifting for me. Not in big, obvious ways, but in a steady, ongoing sense of change that’s been unfolding over time. When I look back, I can see how one thing has quietly led into another, sometimes without me even realising it at the time. It hasn’t felt forced or overly planned, more that things have been moving as they’ve needed to, and I’ve been learning to trust that rather than question it too much. As I was writing this, it really struck me just how much has changed in that time, and how each part has had its place in bringing me to where I am now.
There are times, both in this work and in life, where something begins to move before you fully understand what it is. It doesn’t arrive with a clear plan or anything neatly set out. It’s more a feeling than anything else, a quiet sense that something is shifting underneath it all, even if you can’t yet see where it’s leading. I’ve found myself in that space recently, not trying to push it or work it out too quickly, just allowing it to unfold as it needs to. Over the years I’ve learnt that when I try to control the direction of things too much, I tend to miss what’s actually trying to come through, whereas when I leave a bit of space it usually reveals itself in a way that makes far more sense than anything I could have planned. That’s how this month feels to me. There’s a steadiness to it, but also a sense that things are opening out a little, even if it’s not all fully clear yet.
The sound baths continue, and they remain a really special part of what I do. People arrive with whatever they’re carrying, and something begins to shift, not because anything is being forced, but because they’re given the space to simply be. Sound has a way of reaching places that words don’t always get to, and when it’s held alongside the energy of Holy Fire Reiki, it creates a space that feels quietly supportive without needing explanation. I often notice that what people experience isn’t what they thought they were coming for. Sometimes it’s a deep rest they didn’t realise they needed, sometimes something emotional moves, and sometimes it’s just a sense of stillness that’s been missing for a while, but whatever it is, it tends to meet them where they are.
Alongside that, I’ve been getting things ready for the Chakra Energy Journey, which has come together gradually rather than all at once. I’ve taken my time with it, feeling into what’s needed rather than simply putting information together. The crystals, the oils, the sound and the meditations all have their place, and it’s been important to me that it feels like an experience rather than something you just sit and learn. In truth, it’s rarely the information that creates change, it’s the moment where something lands and you feel it for yourself, and that’s what I’ve tried to create space for within that day.
I have also felt drawn back into learning again in my own way. Sacred geometry has been weaving into what I do for a while now, particularly through sound and the tuning forks, and I’ve noticed how naturally it seems to sit alongside everything else. There’s something very precise about it, but not in a rigid way, more in the sense that it seems to reach the body and the energy field directly, without needing to be explained. The more I work with it, the more it feels like a quiet deepening rather than something separate, as though it’s simply revealing another layer of what’s already there. My Level 2 training this month is allowing me to dive deeper.
And then, just as all of this has been unfolding, something else came in that I hadn’t planned at all, which was the opportunity to take on a crystal business. It wasn’t something I had been looking for, but when it came, there was a very clear sense that it was right. Not in a big dramatic way, just a steady knowing that this was something to say yes to. The offer came from two dear friends, and with it came a sense of responsibility to carry forward what they had already created, the care, the knowledge, and the love that sits within it. There’s already a lot of connection within what’s been built, and it feels important to me to honour that rather than change it into something else.
What it does change, though, is how I’ll be working at events. For a long time, when I was at Mind, Body and Spirit events, I was working back-to-back with treatments, and whilst that has its place and I’ve always valued that work, it doesn’t leave much room to talk to people. You’re moving from one session to the next, holding space in that way, and although it’s meaningful, it’s also quite contained. This feels different, and it feels more open. There’s more space to have conversations, to connect, to answer questions, or simply to allow people to spend a bit of time around the crystals and see what they’re drawn to, and I’m really looking forward to that side of it as it brings a different kind of connection that hasn’t always been possible before. It doesn’t feel like a complete change in direction, more an expansion of what’s already there, as the crystals have always been part of my work, they’re just coming forward in a different way now.
I’ll also be stepping away for a short time at the end of the month to go on a retreat to Andalusia, not to teach or to hold space, but simply to receive. I think that’s something that can easily get overlooked, the need to step back and allow yourself to be held as well, especially when you spend so much time holding space for others. There’s something important in that pause, as it gives everything a chance to settle, particularly when things are shifting or opening out, because without that space it can feel like everything is moving without really landing.
When I look at it all together, the one thing that keeps coming up is trust, not in a big or dramatic sense, but in a quieter, more steady way. Trusting the shifts, even when they don’t fully make sense yet, and trusting the direction, even when you can’t see all of it. When I look back, the things that have felt the most aligned have never been the ones I’ve tried to force into place, they’ve been the ones I’ve allowed to come in, even if I didn’t fully understand them at the time, and that’s what this feels like now.
If you’ve been feeling that same kind of nudge yourself, this might be the moment to listen to it. There are a few spaces available across May, and you’d be very welcome to join me, whether that’s in a sound bath, the chakra day, exploring Holy Fire Reiki, or working together on a one-to-one basis, and if you’re not quite sure where to begin, you’re always welcome to reach out and we can have a conversation about what feels right for you.
