autumn - the perfect time for a relaxing reiki reset

Wilverley Enclosure, New Forest

I can’t believe it’s September already. The lovely, long, hot summer is over and we’re moving into one of my favourite seasons, Autumn. Here in the New Forest, we’re lucky to have both forest at sea close by. I walk in the forest with my dog most days and never take it for granted. In Japan, they call it ‘Shinrin-yoku’, ‘Forest Bathing’ - the practice of immersing yourself in a forest, appreciating the beauty of nature and being grateful.

I love to go to the seafront too - I find sunrises and sunsets there so life-affirming. It’s comforting to know that whatever’s happening in the world, the sun will always rise and set, just as the seasons will always come and go. Nature is like a steady compass offering us solace when we need it and inspiring us to embrace life every day.

It was lovely to welcome back some of my clients last week and to see the difference just one session of Reiki can make. Reiki is very gentle, yet powerful and can be transformational.

Reiki can be very helpful as we transition between the seasons. It rebalances the body’s chakras (energy centres) and allows the energy to flow more freely, acting as a sort of reset button for the mind, body and spirit.

Reiki can help with so many conditions - insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, migraines, depression, grief, ADHD, fibromyalgia and hormonal imbalances, The majority of people I see come for emotional rather than physical reasons. The brilliant thing about Reiki is that it is gentle, non-invasive and accessible to all. Some of my clients come just to experience an hour of total ‘me-time’ - the chance to totally switch off and relax in a safe, nurturing place.

Autumn is also a perfect time to take stock and evaluate what no longer serves you. On the 7th September, we experienced the rare occurrence of a full blood moon and lunar eclipse. It’s a great opportunity around this time (and whenever there’s a full moon or an eclipse) to think about what you need to let go of - maybe old habits, beliefs, patterns of behaviour, even people who don’t make you feel good.

Whatever your reason, why not book a relaxing, reviving Reiki session with me?

Milo is looking forward to meeting you!
