My attunement to Reiki 1 began a formal training for something I knew was innate within me, healing with my hands and channeling energies to help me do it.

The English language is under threat, as we know, and I feel that the two most important and sacred words of all , Thank you, are possibly under the most threat.

I've had a number of non-negotiable spiritual daily practices for years. I just didn't realise, initially, that was what I was creating. But I am so glad I started it.

In June 2017, I was very privileged to undergo my Professional Positive Neuroplasticity Training with Dr. Rick Hanson Ph.d, a neuropsychologist, and the New York Times best-selling author of the books Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence  and Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom.

Grateful Friday is the time of the week, that I given to give gratitude to our weeks achievements. We all spend so much of our lives working. Why not appreciate what we do more? Being grateful on a Friday will help you leave work with happy thoughts about what you achieved that week, so that you walk out the door with more enthusiasm, optimism and appreciation.

I always think Sunday's are a great 😊 time for reflection.

The same thought today kept coming into my mind - how blessed I am that I had support and time to think about my values and how important integrity is to me.

The expression of gratitude becomes easier and flows with practice. Like all of my daily spiritual practices, they become easier and more effective through the practice of them. Practice makes perfect.
