Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am re-locating to the Coventry Canal and have found a great new venue for Reiki, located a short walk from Atherstone. On the Coventry canal I am well placed to offer Reiki to people in the nearby towns of Polesworth, Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton and Coventry. It will take […]
Free Food
Living on a boat, without a fridge/freezer, has made me more aware of the abundance of fresh, free food available on the towpath. Many people who have met me foraging, have said they’d like to do it, but are scared of picking the wrong plants. So to help and inspire, I’ve started a free food […]
Photo Diary: Building a Therapeutic Garden Mooring
These last 2 weeks have been very hard work, but the mooring and therapeutic garden are beginning to take shape. See photo diary. The garden aims to strike a balance between conserving local wildlife and habitats whilst providing a peaceful mooring where people can come to learn Reiki.
Bird Watching
A friend once said, meditation for him was sitting quietly watching the birds. It has taken a while for word to get round, but now feathered friends are visiting the wildlife feeding station several times a day. And I sit silently, watching them.
Animals Like Reiki too
Unexpected visitors came a-calling at the reiki-sanctuary today. Animals can benefit from Reiki Healing, just as much as people and plants.

It intends to be the biggest single gathering of meditation, prayer and mindful silence […]
Blessed to be living in Sanctuary
Blessed to be living in this wonderful Sanctuary. Heron in the lake, buzzard circling overhead, and all the usual garden birds munching the goodies I put out for them earlier. Hard to believe it’s only 10 miles to the bustling city centre of Stoke-on-Trent.
Healing & Curing
A note on the Difference between Healing & Curing. Healing is the process of becoming aware of the lesson contained within a particular dis-ease. Awareness of the lesson may come in just one treatment: or it may be a gradual process of realisation over several treatments. Curing can occur on completion of the healing process […]
Wildlife Feeding Station
Living on a UK canal boat, it seems inevitable; at least part of the winter will be spent stuck in a frozen canal. In these conditions, establishing a wildlife feeding station could save lives. Birds appreciate stale bread: simply stuck on a twig or mixed with seeds and lard in half a coconut shell. Fresh […]
Spontaneous Meditation
This week I enjoyed a spontaneous meditation. It was triggered by the white noise of the River Churnet streaming past Sanctuary’s winter mooring near Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire. I just ‘went with the flow’ (who can resist a good “pune”!) and felt cleansed and energized afterwards. Have you experienced a spontaneous meditation?
