I just wanted to give you a peek behind the curtains of my treatment room.
If you're anything like me, I find it fascinating to see behind the scenes of a business.

In my 'before' picture you can see how my room would normally look. The 'after' picture, is how I transform the space for someone coming to receive Reiki, or wanting a Bio-Energy session lying down.

I know when I receive treatments, the things I find important are lightening, temperature of the room, correct volume of music, tissues, a glass of water, snacks, and a welcoming therapist.

"Tell me, what do you find important when receiving a treatment?"

I like to be in my treatment room well before my client is due for their session. As I work with energy, and when you share space with others, it's important to cleanse the room. I'm drawn to sage, or will use sound, if someone is sensitive to scents. I love the ritual of dressing the table, the surrounding area, and making the room cosy.

It brings me joy to see the room transformed and looking beautiful. I know my clients feel welcomed and supported during our time together.

Wishing you a day filled with comfort, nourishment and support.

The amazing Mel Auld Energy Healing doing her thing! 🤩 How amazing that our fur babies can feel the benefits of a bio-energy session.💖 Xx

What a beautiful experience I had with the lovely Luna.

She let me know she was open to some energy healing and I as soon as I connected in, I immediately felt a couple of areas to focus on, particularly her throat and sacral. I feel it very clearly in my own body as soon as I’m connected.

Each and every energy healing experience is different and a privilege. But in all cases, the magic is the same: the energy I’m channelling activates the body’s own incredible ability to heal itself.

Thank you to Rachel Rachel Sartain - With Animals in Mind for letting me work with her Luna and for creating the time to be there to introduce me to Luna and also Honey, Phoenix and Barney. I loved it.

Love Mel 😊

What has me so tickled....Me! 😂

When you've been making content and hadn't realised, cause you're not tech savvy, that you were mucking around, filmed yourself dancing, without meaning to, and when you've gone to grab your phone, realised that you accidentally took a picutre?

This is what you get a hearty picture of me laughing my ass off! 🤣

Surely, I'm not the only person who has done something like this?!

I can be a really serious person when I need to be, then in the same breath be very childlike. I love to laugh, to see the small joys in the world around me, and be curious. When I feel myself becoming too "adulty" that's when I need to shake it up the most.

What do you do to become less "adulty" and have a good giggle at yourself? I'd love to hear from you.

Wishing you an evening filled with belly laughs and silly moments!

Here's a wee peek into my therapy room at Solstice Naturopathic Medicine.

Setting up the room is part of my ritual before a session. I usually put out my crystals, oracle cards, candles, sage and palo santo. I will smudge the room with sage beforehand, as this is a lovely way to ground the energies and prepare us for working together. Normally, when I'm closing down our session, I'll use palo santo, as it's got a lighter energy and is a good way to lift the client's energy.

This is my beautiful therapy room which I get to work out of every Thursday and Saturday. To me, my room, is inviting, warm, almost like a secret hideout, which is rare to find in Edinburgh!

Depending on the therapy, will depend if I'm using my massage couch, chairs or if we're standing. The great thing about Bio-energy therapy is it can be done lying down, seated, standing, indoors and outdoors. Whether from my therapy room in Broughton Street or at your home.

If you're in the area, curious about what I do, why not pop in and say "hi!'. It would be lovely connect and show you my secret hideout.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

I'm curious as to what people's favourite festival/holiday/celebrations is?

As we approach Samhain, or as many people know it, Halloween. I love this celebration, maybe because of the Witch in me!

I'd love to hear what your favourite is. Drop me a picture or a comment. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Must be the season of the witch.....

I wanted to share the most magical experience I had yesterday, when I went for a 1:1 gong bath with the very talented Daniel Killeen at Edinburgh Therapy Centre.

I have experienced group sound baths before, but never had an individual session. Words truly cannot explain the journey these beautiful gongs took me on.

When you enter the calming space at Edinburgh Therapy Centre, which Daniel has thoughtfully and lovingly designed, you immediately feel a sense of calm and warming energy greet you.

Daniel led the way to the basement, which may sound ominous, but when you walk down the winding stairs, the beautiful room opens up before you, and you are met with a truly stunning space. Daniel had the waiting area prepared with fairy lights and soft lightening (who doesn't love a fairy light!), a table filled with delicious dark chocolate, grapes and dates. The space feels warm, cozy and inviting.

At the back of the room, you get to see a glimpse of all the beautiful gongs Daniel will be using during your session. He explains how the session will go, and is so reassuring with answering any questions you have. He then takes you through to where you are introduced to the gongs and to were you will be lying down.

Once settled, he smudges the space and you with sage, he let's you get comfortable before taking you on a meditative journey. Then he gently starts to play, and this is when the magic happens. I can't even begin to tell you about the amazing journey I went on.
The sounds Daniel intuitively creates is so unique that in my opinion these words don't do them justice! At one point he moves the smaller gongs over you body. You can feel the gentle breeze as they move over you, and the feel sound more deeply.

At one point, there is silence to allow the resonance of the sounds to travel deeper into your soul. Then he gentle starts to bring you back into the room with his soothing voice. It took me some moments to return from my travels, but when I did, the beautiful chocolate and fruits where a welcomed treat to help ground the physical body.

If you have ever been curious about a gong bath, I can recommend Daniel Killeen at Edinburgh Therapy Centre. It was truly an experience and one I look forward to having again.

Thank you so much, Daniel 🥰

I wanted to share with you some on the oracles I will be using in my 'Sacred Soul Retreat'.

If you're not familiar with oracle cards, and wonder how they differ from tarot cards.
The easiest way to explain it is, tarot consists of 78 cards, 22 Major Arcana (focusing on major life events and archetypes) and 56 Minor Arcana (divided into four suits: Cups=emotions, Pentacles=material, Swords=mind, and Wands=energy).

Oracle cards, don't have fixed arcana or suits, and can vary in the number of cards depending on the different decks.

I prefer working with oracle cards as I find them gentle, yet still effective in relaying messages to us. In my experience the cards give us a visual answer/guidance to the questions WE already know the answers to!

I ask people to pick the deck they are intuitively drawn to, without overthinking it. We are wanting to tune into our intuitive energy, that comes from the stomach, not the logical mind. Later on in the process, we will combine the logical mind with our intuitive mind while journaling the answers we receive.

The decks I work with have very detailed images on them. Being a visual person, I like each card to paint a picture that I can delve into. There are different ways to read cards. You can pull either a single card, or a few, you can either have them flowing consecutively in a row, or use a specific layout. Depending on the question, the intention, and the format, will determine how deep the answers/guidance are given.

I like to feel into the cards imaginary and read them that way. You can also use the guide book that comes with each set. Sometimes, I will use both if I feel that's what's needed.

When reading the cards, they speak specifically to that person. I may pull the same card for a different person and get a totally different message.

I would love for you to share a picture of your tarot or oracle cards with me. Whether or not they were gifted to you or if you picked them yourself. How do you use yours? I would love to hear from you and please share with friends, and let's see how many different decks we can share.
