Back in Primrose Hill. My body is still fizzing from the acupuncture treatment. What a curious sensation it is. Pain and pleasure mixed so well together that you cannot distinguish the two. Like the sudden relief from the explosive release of a sneeze which itself often comes with a side of discomfort. That lovely sensation… Continue reading This is YOUR life, live it well
Well here we are and it's exactly a year since the shop opened its doors. To mark the occasion we had a small sale last week with some bubbles and delicious home-made cake made our resident Angel and healer, Loretta McCabe. Looking back over the last year I have learnt so much about making a… Continue reading The First Solar Return of RSL
It's a while since I been a guest blogger on the RSL site and I do miss writing. So below I have decided to include a small piece on a healing I received from one of our members, Katy. Love and Peace to you all Kirstie x I had a reiki seichem and crystal healing… Continue reading Thought….less
Another Collective member post from one of our founding members from somewhere much more warm and tropical. She is currently creating a rich and varied life by following her dream, part of which involves writing. Today's post offers her own innate wisdom on aligning to and following the patterns nature offers to us, in this… Continue reading New Year Resolutions…moon rituals
This used to be a tough time for me too, especially with the emphasis on food and well meaning friends and family buying chocolatey treats. It's been a long road and knowing I was not alone was key to finding my way again.

During the course Saffron shared with us the fundamental principles of Mindfulness before… Continue reading Forgetful

She is not only an incredible complementary therapist but also a qualifed counsellor and psychotherapist. As such she has offered to be our own on-line advice columnist to answer any questions you… Continue reading Ask Sally…
Today has felt like one of the "old days" as I am tired. Almost jet-lag like tired. Rather than push through my intuition told me to rest today today. For the shop day off to be my day off too. Well...ish. Rather than the old days where I've either been tired from HR work or… Continue reading Something old…
This time next week I'll be posting the 365th post in my blog before picking up a hopefully large glass of wine in celebration. One week to go! I may have started the celebration early as after yesterday's intense day I indulged in a bit of self-care. Self-care times two. Firstly after welcoming our Soul… Continue reading Self-careful
It's been another lovely day in the shop. After meditating this morning before opening I was drawn to "grid" the shop with rose quartz. Gridding is one of the great ways to work with crystals by placing them in different patterns around a space or around a person. It raises the vibration as well as… Continue reading The Cuddle Grid
