Rose Reiki - Connecting with energy

After being out of touch with my spirituality for a time, I've been spurred back into it all again. If you've read my earlier blogs, you'll know that I got into reiki nearly three years ago. Last year, for reasons I don't really know, I seemed to push reiki and spirituality aside. I stopped treating people and myself.

I think, to be honest, there was a part of me that was angry and frustrated. When I qualified as a practitioner I had the notion that I wanted to heal people and have my own business - hence the name Rose Reiki - I set up a website and got some cards made and did a few fairs. I had a few people but not enough to sustain an income, so still had to work full time and fit in my treatments as and when. In the end I became very despondent. I suppose I was angry at reiki in a way, that nothing had happened for my business to take off and for me to be able to give up the day job.

After a year of frustration I've come back to it again. What spurred me on was seeing a psychic who told me some poignant things, which rang true for me. So thanks to her I've started treating myself and getting back to nature. There was a part of me, which had not totally thrown away my spiritual side and I still sensed energies and felt spirit.

Now I'm going to throw myself into it again, but hopefully not get so despondent. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who has their own reiki business as to how you started?

I'm going to relaunch my website and look to advertise, but again I've got to do this alongside my full time job, as I'm not foolish to throw it in - especially not at the moment. Which brings me on to the question of,  do people want to spend money on reiki and other alternative therapies during this economic downturn?

I've started to heal myself as this is the first step before I can heal anyone else. Advice would be much appreciated?

Love and light

Rose Reiki - Thornborough Henge

Drove for two hours today to reach Thornborough Henge in North Yorkshire. This is an ancient henge - there are three of them linked by an avenue. To quote from the website "Thornborough Henge is a 5000 year old stone age monument consisting of three giant circular earthworks. The entire complex is over a mile in length and the layout of the three Henges resembles that of the three stars found in the centre of the Orion constellation. The Henge monument would have aligned almost perfectly with these three stars on Winter Solstice (the shortest day) 5000 years ago." (http://www.sacredbrigantia.com/index.php)  We were in the central henge to celebrate Beltane courtesy of the Sacred Brigantia group.

This was my first time at such a gathering as usually I celebrate such things solitary or with my immediate family, so it was an opportunity to experience a ceremony. I thoroughly enjoyed it and there such energy there - so positive and alive. Loved the drumming and the feelings. It was also nice to sit down and relax and take in the energy of the place.

The weather was wonderful - sunny, though there was a wind. Everyone I was with enjoyed themselves and we also bought a few trinkets while we there.

I would certainly participate again.

Came back feeling very refreshed and carried out my blessings in the garden.

Love and light and reiki blessings
