I realised today as I was closing up for the evening that the shop/space was really starting to looked lived in. I'm not using that in the way that my Mum used to say my room was "lived in", rather that certain warm and friendly energies from new friends from the local community have snuggled… Continue reading What’s my name?
Today was my first "Working with Crystals" workshop. For a various number of reasons from other participants it turned out to be a one to one. It was clearly meant to be as it was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours for both of us. As I'd written the content around pairing people up I… Continue reading The Wow
I am a bouncing ball of glee at the moment. I have just finished writing and preparing the content for my first crystal workshop on Monday. I am so excited to share my love of crystals and what I learnt and experienced from working with these awesome pretty rocks. And i get to host the… Continue reading Crystallised
Each day in our little corner of the universe offers new surprising discoveries. And I am constantly amazed (and heartened) at how many people I am meeting that are on their own personal journey of discovery, be that through meditation, healing, creative pursuits and, a recurring theme, a willingness to share what they have discovered… Continue reading Feeling the Love (Again)
The start of Week 3 in the shop. I've already developed my own routine or rather ritual before opening. A large part of my vision was having a safe space for people to express themselves and that means safe in a number of different ways including my own energy. We all have our "stuff" whizzing… Continue reading A new kind of Discipline
I received a visit today from someone else who is following and manifesting her dream. Someone whom I met last week and had that instant "inner knowing" that I'd met her before. Also someone who has an incredible gift of healing and compassion through teaching the practice of Yoga, to children. What an amazing service… Continue reading Showtime
It's been that lovely kind of Moon in Virgo day today. We worked at the shop from midday to midnight yesterday sorting out the therapy room and making some changes to the shop. So today we treated ourselves to a lie in (self-care) before starting on a bunch of chores that had piled up since… Continue reading Virgo Rest Day
I am writing this from the cosiest spot in our therapy/meditation room after we spent the best part of the day working on it. I could possibly call this post "It's amazing what you can do with a few saris" because today my inner Blue Peter presenter (UK) erm Martha Stewart ? (US) has been… Continue reading Family ties
Another great day in the shop. Surprise visits and some amazing, and I mean A-mazing, new handmade creations to display ready to go to new homes. (More about those in a future post and our Facebook page!) I also connected with a lady whom I know is going to work in the healing field. Someone… Continue reading In Sync in NW2
It was the shop's day off today but not mine. Because today the shop got a bit of TLC ready for the week ahead. I love caring for the space. Keeping it fresh and clean, using my Tibetan Chimes to cleanse the crystals, making sure those soft tingles and warm whispers are still evident. I've… Continue reading Shop-care
