As the rain stopped and the clouds cleared I found myself mesmerised by the light emanating from the sun this morning.

I love how the roads sparkled reflecting the sun rays, like they were covered in diamonds 💎

The light reflecting off the surface can be blinding...
It reminded me of how most of us don't allow ourselves to shine our light fully (or at all), how the idea of shining this bright isn't safe.

Yet, to live our Life fully, to truly self-actualise, this is what we're asked to do - to connect with and believe that our light (our gift, talent, unique energy) exists, is our essence and it has a right to shine. Not to outshine or shine brighter than others but to be seen and acknowledged.
It is your right to shine alongside others and shine together 🌟

If all this sounds a bit out there, I get it. I used to be like that. Our focus on the intellect and science has robbed of perceiving life through a different, more mystical lens. A lens which offers a connection to our soul and wisdom, the mystery of life.

Have a fantastic bright day shining your (inner) light, people 🙂🌟

PS: the tea tag is from this morning too. I made the tea when I came home after taking all these incredible photos... The message couldn't be clearer ☺️

Join me this Monday 5th October at 7.30pm at my monthly meditation group session and spend time connecting with your Light. ✨ Link in comments.

An afternoon supporting adoptive parents at their annual wellbeing event... It was an honour to deliver Reiki sessions to parents in Melksham today and support their well-being. Being a parent is hard enough. Being a (multiple) adoptive parent takes it to another level.

Not many realise the challenges adoptive parenting brings.

It felt really good to be at the event today and help the parents ground, come back to balance and re-energise.

I loved one feedback from a parent who said that her mind went completely quiet, all the thoughts just disappeared and she just felt so light. It was her first time trying Reiki and it wasn't even a full session...

Looking forward to further collaboration 🙏🙂
Here's to all adoptive parents. I take my hat off to you. 🌹

I resonate with Dr Gray and his research in his new book. It describes what I sense intuitively in relation to my sons and their screen time. Even though I live in the UK the education situation is very similar with core curriculum set for pupils and students across the country. Thank you 🙏

Computers, video games, and the internet actually helped "restore childhood" in the 1990s, suggests psychologist Peter Gray in a new book.

'Many teachers not onboard with hardline approach on attendance'

So good to hear this. Attendance policies in this country always make my toes curl... As if getting kids into schools is all that matters. What actually happens when they are in school is a whole different matter...

With so many young people struggling to attend school for genuine reasons, it's useful, I guess, to carry out a research like this find out what teachers actually think.

Staff at schools in England say enforcement is ‘relentless’ and occasional holiday less worrying than disengagement
