Embodiment as a mindful energy practice, with an infused oil recipe & ritual

This month I’d like to remind you one simple and beautiful truth: Reiki isn’t a thing you have to remember to do, it’s remembering a way of being.

Every time we notice ourselves, nature’s beauty, and our connection in the web of life. We’ll practice a simple yet highly effective, calming, reassuring, nurturing and sustaining practice: breathing with a plant. An experience of being.

Reiki Share: three ways, one practice. A programme of dates for 3 connected ways to practice each month.

I bring these three strands together: honey, herbs and healing, because I am all of these things, and this is my unique offer. When you come to The Honeybee Sanctuary, you get a bit of each of these. I am the grounding energy of the bees, I offer the medicine of the plants, and I unify it with the balancing system of Reiki.

It’s been an absolute joy to focus on coastal herbs for healing - of all sorts, including trees, herbaceous perennials, macroalgae - in preparation for the workshops at the Scottish Seabird Centre. These workshops are being run as part of their Winter Wonders Exhibition, which encourages visitors to discover the secret lives of local wildlife, witness the subtle shift in seasons as waders depart and seabirds return, and appreciate the soft glow of the setting sun across the coastal landscapes.

As I was digging, I realised the herbs were already healing me. Nurturing my soul; making me strong. So maybe, herbs heal….
Once in the digging.
Once in the breathing.
Once in the dreaming.
Once in the companionship.
Once in the sowing.
Again in the growing.
Again once more in the harvest.
Once in the processing.
In the medicine making.

Grounding practices

Reiki & Remedies - some reflections and context on how I weave these practices in life energy and holistic vitality.

01 - Origins of Usui Reiki Ryoho

Make a Stinging Nettle and Plantain folk tincture for the management of symptoms associated with seasonal allergies, and a revitalising, strength building tonic.

I find that one of the best ways to avoid herbal overwhelm is to understand that there is a universal principle in all the herbal traditions and modalities, and that is the practice of HOLISTIC HERBALISM. One herb at a time, whole body, whole herb.

While some of the attributes of multi-floral honey may vary every year, the core qualities remain consistent - it will be high in antioxidants, flavonoids, probiotic enzymes, pollen and nutrients, including the B vitamins and vitamin C.
