- [Whose life script are you living?](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/whose-life-script-are-you-living/): I hope today’s question, ‘whose life script are you living, and why?’, gives you pause for thought.

Firstly, I enjoy performing daily, a three-card tarot reading to explore my shadow self as part of my self-therapy. As a result, I can create a more balanced perspective of who and what I am. In today’s fast paced society, I personally find it easy to get beaten down by the negative energy that is fully consuming. Within […]
- [My Reiki Onion](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/reiki-onion/): My Reiki Onion is an account of my personal journey of deep inner healing with Reiki. What is a Reiki Onion? Peeling an onion is often compared to inner healing, with each layer symbolising a negative experience that can be recognised and resolved. These suppressed feelings are often postponed for future resolution, with procrastination impeding effective management. Feelings of anxiety can also perpetuate this cycle of delay. Prior to Reiki, I often deferred addressing these concerns until I felt prepared, ultimately contributing to diminished personal well-being and a sense of merely existing rather than truly living. Thankfully, my Reiki practice of […]
- [Mastering my Reiki Practice](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/mastering-my-reiki-practice/): Mastering my Reiki practice is a continual journey of learning and development that is simply life changing. In today’s journal, I explore my journey so far and I also introduce you to Frans Stiene who is simply, inspirational. Reiki most certainly brings me a lot of happiness. More importantly, it brings me a sense of ‘peace’ that at one time I never could imagine experiencing. Since discovering the difference between Western and Eastern Reiki, my spiritual awareness is most certainly growing. Continuing my learning assists with mastering my Reiki practice. Most importantly, it allows me to contine uncovering deep routed trauma […]
- [Receiving guidance via meditation](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/receiving-guidance-via-meditation/): Receiving guidance via meditation is most certainly growing upon me and furthermore, it feels right. Following today’s guidance received, I am going to follow my intuition and start helping others to meet their guides. They too, can receive profound wisdom that will bring much needed healing energy. The Universe most certainly has a remarkable way of working don’t you think? This is especially true if you are recognising the signs and your heart is open to receiving them. As a result, I am most certainly listening. Within my latest journal below, I have linked up to my previous two daily tarot […]

What is this showing me? Tarot and Gratitude – The Lord of Ruin, Ten of Swords Yesterday, the 20th of May, it was the Blasted Tower in the position of my future influences and today, I’m now looking at the Ten of Swords. Initially, I feel uneasy, but the other cards are calming and profound. Let me explain but firstly, I begin with my gratitude journalling. What I am grateful for Today, I’m grateful to have gone shopping for some much-needed clothes […]
- [The Blasted Tower - Tarot and Gratitude](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/the-blasted-tower/): The Blasted Tower of tarot appears as my future influence in today’s tarot and gratitude journal dated the 20th May 2025. I cannot possibly see anything going disastrously wrong, but then again, it is a future influence. This is something that is out of my control. With the Two of Cups showing as a past influence, is it my other half? I keep thinking that Mark will have an accident or become ill to the point that I will lose him. Hmm…! I’m going to park this reading because I am catastrophising and I am obviously not capable of deciphering it […]
- [Connecting with Spirit](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/connecting-with-spirit/): Today, I share my latest Reiki meditation experience of connecting with spirit for profound wisdom, inspired by yesterday’s attunement. Connecting with Spirit Using Reiki Yesterday during a Reiki master attunement session, I conducted a guided Reiki meditation to assist my student in connecting with spirit. This decision was made spontaneously as the concept of psychic surgery using Reiki did not seem to resonate with her. I believe it is important not to impose practices on someone who is evidently uncomfortable with them. Additionally, my student expressed difficulty in understanding the HSZSN symbol, also known as the distant healing symbol. To address […]
- [Battling Imposter Syndrome](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/battling-imposter-syndrome/): Battling imposter syndrome is the subject of my latest journal and how I overcame it. Thankfully, my tarot reading confirms I am winning! Yesterday in my journal, I wrote the following: – “All I have to do today is create my twenty-two-question assessment and I will have completed all material for my professional certificate in tarot reading. This is the end of a creative phase, a journey that has most definitely had its up and downs.” I’ve just won my battle with imposter syndrome, and it teaches me how much stronger I become when challenging my insecurities. Yes, I still have […]
- [My passion for tarot readings](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/passion-for-tarot-readings/): In this post today, I hope to explain my passion for tarot readings and why I subsequently chose it as a professional career. Not only do I provide tarot readings, I also love teaching the art of tarot. To begin with, in 2017, my mental health was suffering and subsequently, I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. Whether it was divine wisdom or my higher self, my intuition guided me back to performing tarot readings however, the focus was specifically on my inner healing. Without a doubt, I knew that my tarot cards would help me seek guidance to aid in […]
- [I will do my work honestly](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/i-will-do-my-work-honestly/): In today’s journal, Reiki Master, Amanda, explores the Reiki principle, just for today, I will do my work honestly. Just for today, I will do my work honestly. When I first began my journey of Reiki, I didn’t understand the importance of Mikao Usui’s five Reiki principles. In fact, there was only one that I was instantly attached to, which was, just for today, I will not worry , due to my battle with managing anxiety. Yes, in the beginning, I did fixate on this precept, but today, all precepts are equally understood and respected. Thinking about it, perhaps it is […]
- [Accredited Tarot and Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/accredited-tarot-and-reiki/): Amanda is now proud to offer accredited tarot and reiki courses, plus, she becomes the proud owner of Reiki Academy.

With gratitude and love, I accept Pauline’s handover of Reiki Academy and Tara-Hypnotherapy. She is a wonderful Reiki Master who still to this […]
- [Goodbye Instagram and Facebook](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/instagram-and-facebook/): My decision is made, and I am no longer using Meta’s services such as Instagram and Facebook to promote my business. Today, I will explain why I have made this decision and funnily enough, my daily tarot reading also has a message for me. Leaving Instagram and Facebook It hasn’t been easy to make this decision, and I have been thinking of doing it for easily a year. Fear was always preventing me from doing so believing that I will lose a lot of business. At the same time, I know that I hardly receive business these days from using Instagram […]

- [Just for today, I will be grateful for my blessings](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/grateful-for-my-blessings/): Today, is the first day of 2025 and I am exploring the Reiki precept, ‘just for today, I will be grateful for my blessings’. During Yuletide, putting time aside to examine your relationship with the five Reiki precepts, is a wonderful and nurturing experience. This is because it is a time of rejoicing with loved ones, past or present and supporting each other through the darkest months of winter. Times can become bleak especially when we get caught up in the over commercialised aspect of Christmas. Also, it is a time of slowing down, reflecting on your self-development over the past […]
- [Meditating with Charoite](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/meditating-with-charoite/): Meditating with Charoite turned into a combination of Reiki, moon magic and deep inner healing. As a result, I explore my findings of why Charoite of all my crystals, was resonating with my soul. Introduction To begin with, a recent customer selected a piece of Charoite as a Christmas present for his sister. As soon as I saw it, instantly I was not wanting to sell it. I do this so often when selecting crystals for resale because I carefully select each one based on my feelings at the time. Of course, I did sell it because I do have my […]
- [I Will Survive](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/i-will-survive/): I will survive, is my latest update following my previous journal regarding my run in with the bloody Devil of Tarot. Performing my daily tarot card readings is essential for my daily dose of self-therapy. For me, I find that it is an excellent tool for reflection and a way of communicating with my higher self. Some of us refer to this work as, ‘shadow work‘. Without a doubt, I am so relieved to see these cards pictured above that offer me so much hope and renewal. Cycles are in progress and I know that I will survive. Therefore, a quick […]
- [Just for today, I will not worry](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/just-for-today-i-will-not-worry/): Below, I am exploring the importance of ‘just for today, I will not worry‘ and the benefits it brings to you and your practice.

Today, I take a look at what I have learned so far from adopting these principles and specifically, not worrying.

When you practice your Reiki or indeed any other self-care practice such as focusing on your breath, you […]

Join me as I explore my shadow self. The Devil is chasing me Lately, The Devil card keeps popping up in my daily three card tarot spread and of course, I’m finding it a little disconcerting. It would be far easier for me to throw the cards back into my bag and reshuffle, but then what would I be learning? Starting with the 6th of December, he is going nowhere as he reappears AGAIN in my present situation for the second day […]
- [Just for today, I will not anger](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/just-for-today-i-will-not-anger/): Just for today, I will not anger is one of the five Reiki precepts that should be adopted, especially if you practice Reiki. Fear not though if you don’t practice Reiki. You can still learn how to manage anger, from reading my latest journal. Today, I shall take you on a journey of what this one precept, means for me and how I use it. Coincidentally, it doesn’t matter how the five Reiki precepts are written as they all mean the same thing. This is because Japenese isn’t a language that translates easily into English. During your Reiki Degree One attunement, […]

Although I am talking about my dread of visiting the dentist, once it is flowing, there is no doubt for me.

Allow me to explain further.

- [Gratitude and Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/gratitude-and-reiki/): Gratitude and Reiki go hand in hand, but during today’s self-Reiki session, I received profound wisdom that relates to my current situation. Without a doubt, I was open to receiving messages from my guides and they came in the form of powerful affirmations. Reading the above affirmations, I will not be surprised if you hone in on the word, ‘crone‘. Well, I have accepted my transition to crone with open arms and as a result, I am sitting in my power. My transformation is now I fully accept my transition to crone I am sitting in my power! Unfortunately, one definition […]

- [Feeling Disconnected with Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/feeling-disconnected-with-reiki/): Feeling disconnected with Reiki? You are not alone and believe it or not, I too was once experiencing a disconnection. Most certainly, in the beginning, I had my doubts about Reiki. Furthermore, I was struggling with self-Reiki for a long time following my attunement. Feeling disconnected with Reiki, especially following your investment of time and money isn’t a great feeling. However, you can regain that connection together with the advantage of inner healing. Once attuned to Reiki, you never lose it! Without a doubt, I continue growing my wisdom while bringing balance and harmony into my life. So, without further a […]

- [Reiki and Protection](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/reiki-and-protection/): Reiki and protection go hand in hand, no pun intended! So, today’s journal looks at how important protection is when providing Reiki. Reiki and Protection When a client asks you to begin performing Reiki, they are trusting you with their energy, time and finances. Therefore, when providing Reiki, it is essential that you respect your client and their wellbeing. Of course, I know this goes without saying. Part of my teaching of Reiki is never to leave your client alone during a treatment. However, sometimes and although rare, this isn’t possible. Only last night, I found myself in a position whereby […]
- [Manifesting Your Dreams and Having Faith](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/manifesting-your-dreams/): You need faith to begin manifesting your dreams because without it, chances are you will fail.

In this article, I will share my personal journey of incorporating crystals into my Reiki practice.

The Healing Power of Crystals Ancient civilisations commonly used the healing power of crystals and it is no different today. What’s more, those of us who work with them, truly benefit.

- [Spirit Beings](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/spirit-beings/): Today’s journal, Spirit Beings is about the time I was suffering Sepsis following the removal of my thyroid. Of course, there is no mistaking that I might have been delusional however, my intuition tells me something else. Ever since my early twenties, I often see shadows of spirit beings out of the corner of my eye. However, when I look, nothing is there. I first began noticing it when my daughter was about three years old. She had an imaginary friend called Kenny and I was OK with this. Since then, I accept my growing awareness and I have no trouble […]
- [Reiki and Menopause](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/reiki-and-menopause/): Reiki and menopause is my latest journal about my experience of going through the change. More importantly, if I hadn’t been practicing Reiki, I don’t know how I would have coped without it. More and more ladies are now speaking up about their experiences of menopause, or more specifically, perimenopause. Menopause only lasts one day and on average it occurs around the age of 51 or 52 years of age. Thus, perimenopause begins on average 10 to 15 years earlier. Subsequently, when your menstrual flow ceases for a period of 9 to 12 months, you reach menopause and then post menopause. […]

- [Third Quarter Moon](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/third-quarter-moon-spiritual-meaning/): I firmly believe that the third quarter moon is just as important as the new moon or the full moon. It’s especially true if you enjoy practicing moon magic. Without a doubt, her energy at this important time, is one of reflection and healing as we now take time out to focus on our inner strength. Third Quarter Moon Firstly, looking at the moon in the sky, you will see that she’s fully shining on her left side. Moreover, we are at the halfway position between the full moon and the new moon. Subsequently, we have not fully completed the current […]
- [Goal Setting with Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/goal-setting-with-reiki/): Goal setting with Reiki is a regular practice of mine to help me achieve and maintain success. This is my account of incorporating Reiki into my goal setting routine. Since being attuned to Reiki, I’ve achieved great success with my goal setting. Lately though, I’ve found myself feeling nervous about my future. To be honest, it’s not really surprising with the ‘cost of living‘ crisis that we are all facing. Furthermore, I’m finding it hard to motivate myself and I wouldn’t say that I’m over anxious about my future. Thankfully, I’m fully aware of the consequences of not following a regular […]

Skull’s allow for introspection, going inwards and this is something that I needed to work on. My dream becomes a reality Since 2020, I’ve been using moon magic and […]

If you’ve ever wondered how to become a psychic, you can stop right there. You are psychic, we all are! It is something that you are born with. Unfortunately, for any number of reasons, a lot of people don’t adopt and hone their ability to use their psychic skills more often. During childhood, your psychic abilities were naturally at their strongest. In my own […]
- [Avoid suffering burnout](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/avoid-suffering-burnout/): Avoid suffering burnout as it really isn’t worth your physical and mental health. Take it from someone like me who has suffered the consequences. Speaking from experience, I worked myself hard to ensure a comfortable future for myself and my family. Yes, I got some rewards, but I learned the hard way and suffered in the process. Did my family suffer? Unfortunately, yes, they did! I wasn’t there for them when they needed me. I was there physically, but not mentally! Working too hard Working through lunches, staying behind to get the job done and working on my days off was […]
- [Tips for a positive tarot reading](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/tips-for-a-positive-tarot-reading/): Reading my tips for a positive tarot reading, is a good place to start when booking a tarot reading. I am not a fortune teller! I’m not a fortune teller who entertains you with news of winning the lottery or owning a castle. My style of tarot reading is one of introspection with spiritual healing. Of course, I wholeheartedly believe that the tarot cards can give you an idea of what lies ahead for you. However, the true magic unfolds when we use the Tarot as a tool for reflection and personal development. When consulting the tarot cards, you can gain […]

I do have thyroid issues, but I have my levels checked […]
- [Mystical Medleys and Manifestation](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/mystical-medleys/): My latest post, Mystical Medleys and manifestation features the wonderful cards of Gary Hall together with my thoughts about my current situation. The phrase that comes to mind after pulling these three cards is, from little acorns, mighty oaks grow! At one time, I did chuckle at the idea of creating a tarot deck based on old-fashioned musical cartoons however, I have fallen in love with EVERYTHING about this deck. The packaging with cartoon characters popping up in unexpected places, the cards, and the guidebook that has the Ladybird feel to it, simply puts a warm-hearted smile on my face. This […]

- [Spirit Guidance](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/spirit-guidance-reiki/): Today’s Reiki journal is titled Spirit Guidance due to a woman in spirit who stood by me wanting to help me with Reiki. This update is remarkable on so many levels, but it shows the importance of speaking with your client following a Reiki treatment. As a Reiki practitioner, you should always trust in your intuition, and I realise that this is something that comes with experience. During this particular session, I had a strong urge to give Reiki to her shoulders. Following the session, my client told me how she had been having pain in her left shoulder. However, I […]
- [Full Moon Magic](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/full-moon-magic/): Full moon magic is all about a young child who put their wish out to the Universe and it came true bringing them the happiness that they deserve. Intention setting and wishes First of all, I know this to be true as I taught my grandchild to set their intention during the New Moon. On a side note, please be patient with me as I try my best to refer to them, as non-gender. The new moon is a time for setting your intentions, but I do have to state two things. Firstly, you have to put your creative energy into […]
- [Reiki and Spiritual Healing](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/reiki-spiritual-healing/): Today’s post, Reiki Spiritual Healing, is a collection of my thoughts and feelings associated with giving and receiving a Reiki attunement. Yes, it can be overwhelming, but it is a spiritual cleansing that’s steeped in ritual. Firstly, if you’re not familiar with Reiki, please click here for my Reiki FAQ. Anything else you would like to know, please contact me here. Reiki and Spiritual Healing The more you do, the more you learn and this is very much the case we me and my spiritual journey that includes Reiki.

- [Moon Magic and Healing](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/moon-magic-and-healing/): Moon Magic and healing is exactly what I’m doing this month. This lunar phase is one of growing my spirituality and reconnecting with my higher self. Too many times in life, we lose our connection with ourselves and the Universe, especially when we’re in the process of manifesting our dreams. BUT, how many times do we stop to celebrate our journey and invest in our self-love and self-worth? I found myself feeling restless and not settled. My intuition was telling me to sit back and ask Mark to read the Tarot for me. I wanted to find out why I was […]
- [Journey of Healing](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/journey-of-healing/): This is a follow-up to my Living in Fear post, but also my thoughts about my journey of healing. My Journey of Healing You must have heard the phrase, ‘wake-up call’? Well, back in 2017, I experienced my ‘wake-up call’. My higher self was screaming to be freed from the HELL HOLE that I was creating for myself. It’s easy for me to talk openly about how I felt back then with my anxiety and depression. Thinking back to my dark days, I remember this sudden realisation that I cannot go on like this any longer. My higher-self was telling me […]
- [Living in Fear](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/living-in-fear/): I’m feeling emotional as I write this post about how living in fear can stop you from being happy. The sweetest old man in his 70s walked into my shop and I could feel his sadness. Eventually, he approached me and I asked him if he was looking for anything in particular. He spoke softly and told me how he’s suffering from depression, and how worried he is about his health. Living in fear It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time that I speak to someone who is living in fear. I see it most of […]

- [Balsamic Moon Reflections](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/balsamic-moon-reflections/): Join me now as I reflect on my month of moon magic with the energy of the Balsamic moon. Balsamic Moon Reflection The Balsamic Moon occurs three days before a new moon. It’s during this phase that we take time to reflect on our highs and lows. One thing for sure is that I’ve certainly dealt with some difficult challenges but more importantly, I feel positive and enlightened. Reflecting on the highs I started the beginning of this month with the intention of growing my Reiki business. Oh my gosh, so much has happened that powers my excitement. Now that I […]
- [Loneliness and me](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/loneliness-and-me/): This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme is loneliness and therefore I would like to share my experience. One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time. There’s no single cause and there’s no one solution. After all, we’re all different! But, the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems. Some people are also at higher risk of feeling lonely than others. MENTAL HEALTH FOUNDATION UK Coincidentally though, as this week draws to a close, it’s also my first anniversary of Gemstone Healing. Things can get better and here’s my story. […]
- [Manifesting with Spirit Quartz](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/manifesting-with-spirit-quartz/): If you’re a regular follower of mine, you will know how I love to meditate with crystals. During my latest crystal meditation, I discovered the power of manifesting with Spirit Quartz. The power of manifesting with Spirit Quartz is something else. Since tweaking my method of meditating with crystals, I have found it a lot easier to connect with their energy. I’m also proud to offer this as a service should you wish to experience the magic of crystals. So what did I discover about Spirit Quartz? Manifesting with Spirit Quartz Firstly, the Earthy energy of this particular piece of Spirit […]
- [The Power of Green Tourmaline](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/the-power-of-green-tourmaline/): While meditating with this beautiful piece of Green Tourmaline, I witnessed a vision of something that unnerved me. In my vision, I am walking behind a man through woodland and suddenly, something comes at him causing him to raise his hands to protect himself. I know that I sensed fear and I also physically felt myself jumping a few times but that’s quite normal during deep meditation. We are currently stocking Green Tourmaline in our Liverpool shop. I never imagined my meditation could become a frightening experience and I suppose my words are a tad extreme. The fear isn’t with me […]
- [Managing Anxiety](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/managing-anxiety/): Presently, I’m struggling with feelings of fear and self-doubt however, I am managing anxiety. There’s no escaping that life is becoming a challenge right now. I’m currently experiencing a severe drop in customers and at one time, I’d be looking for the fault within me. Thankfully, I have my self-care routine that keeps my anxiety at bay and it also keeps me level headed. Between 20 March and 30 March 2020, almost half (49.6%) of people in Great Britain reported high\’ (rating 6 to 10) anxiety; this was sharply elevated compared with the end of 2019 (21%), and equates to over […]
- [Gassho Meditation](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/gassho-meditation/): If we practice gassho meditation daily, we set the foundation of our self-healing. The Japanese word gassho means the coming together of hands in a prayer position. To begin with, my knowledge of gassho meditation stems from my daily practice of Usui Reiki. More importantly, I feel the benefits of incorporating it into my daily self-care routine, and I believe that you will to. Furthermore, you don’t have to be attuned or trained in Reiki to do this. Mikao Usui the founder of Usui Reiki, considered it a fundamental practice for all reiki practitioners to participate in. Without a shadow of […]
- [Dioptase](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/dioptase/): Dioptase is truly a transformational stone. I even experienced thoughts of a kundalini awakening when meditating with it hence the potential of this magnificent crystal. The other day, a friend of mine gave me a piece of Dioptase, the one that you see in the photograph on this page. I’ve always considered the gift of crystals to be a beautiful expression of endearment and I still am extremely grateful. Dioptase was a surprise gift but the instant I examined it; I could feel its power. I love to meditate with new crystals to find out their energy and purpose for me. […]
- [Desire versus Fear](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/desire-versus-fear/): Today, I’m reminded of the importance of not allowing anxiety to steer me away from my heart’s desire. These cards foretell a period of desire versus fear but thankfully, I have experience of being in this situation. Each morning, and as part of my self-therapy care, I like to perform a three-card tarot reading. I like to do these readings first thing because I get so much positive energy from performing shadow work. Clearly, doing this in the morning provides me with a positive mindset to carry on through for the rest of the day. Finally, I can prepare for any […]
- [Ten of Cups Weakness](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/ten-of-cups-weakness/): Today I write about the Ten of Cups and weakness. It’s such a beautiful card to have in a tarot reading however, it’s in a position that highlights my weakness. The ten of cups concerns your feelings of emotional bliss and contentment. When this arrives in a reading, it talks about feeling sated and arriving with oneself. The beauty of life and love is all around when we feel the energy of the ten of cups, but what if it’s highlighted as a weakness? Firstly, before I show you how I broke this down, I must tell you that I find […]
- [Hematoid Quartz](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/hematoid-quartz/): New in stock is the amazingly beautiful crystal, Hematoid Quartz. It also goes by other names such as: – Its colour varies due to the amount of iron or Hematite that’s included in the Quartz. Hematoid Quartz is a crystal that brings transformation to your mind body and soul. If you’re a Reiki healer, you need to have this crystal in your collection. It’s known to assist with aligning chakras and cleansing auras. Quartz on its own is known as the master healer due to its significant healing properties. In addition, Quartz amplifies the healing energies of any other crystal that […]
- [A tarot reading is not](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/a-tarot-reading-is-not/): Firstly, when you enter for a tarot reading, I will not be telling you if you’re going to win the lottery and I won’t be predicting the sex of your future baby. Secondly, please don’t push me for the answer YOU desperately want to hear. I can’t do that because, it’s not good for you and it goes against my grain. As the great Terry Pratchett wrote: – “Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate but less […]
- [Pink Opal Love](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/pink-opal-love/): There are times when we all need some gentle nurturing of our soul and Pink Opal certainly provides this and more. Often referred to as ‘The stone of resolution‘, Pink Opal is a stone that unlocks your heart chakra and when I was meditating with it, I felt an enormous sense of love, and protection. Meditating with Pink Opal Holding this crystal and closing my eyes instantly felt like I was smothering myself with the softest, most cosiest fluffy blanket that made me feel safe. When meditating with any crystal, I always recommend that you study its colours and textures carefully […]
- [Seven of Swords](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/seven-of-swords/): Today I’m exploring the Seven of Swords tarot card meaning and what it personally means to me.It’s a card that keeps on revealing itself in my readings and I really don’t like it. It makes me feel nervous but alas, I have a new tarot deck and therefore, a new way of interpreting it. Let’s begin! I suppose I am a little addicted to purchasing new tarot decks, but it’s always good to challenge yourself with another artist’s and author’s interpretation. Above you will find the Seven of Swords from The New Mythic Tarot deck and I’m seriously in awe due […]
- [Embrace your challenges](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/embrace-your-challenges/): Why should you embrace your challenges? Here I talk frankly about a recent experience of facing a difficult challenge and the benefits that I received from it. It’s just one of my many life coaching tips and if you’re looking for assistance, please do get in touch. We all have challenges to face on a regular basis. Some challenges can be exciting and inspiring whilst other challenges can be extremely difficult. Yesterday I was faced with a challenge that really tested my resolve and patience. I found the conversation extremely difficult and at one point, I wanted to stop it altogether […]
- [Emotions Following Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/emotions-following-reiki/): I’ve recently received feedback from a client who has been feeling intense emotions following Reiki, which was a couple of weeks ago. Feeling emotional, let alone intensely emotional isn’t a nice feeling, but it warrants further investigation. Let’s begin! What is Reiki? Firstly, the purpose of Reiki energy healing is to work on dissolving stagnant blocks of energy within our body. If left, they can affect the flow of natural Universal healing energy that can cause ill health of our mind, body, and soul. These stagnant blocks of energy occur over time due to a few varied reasons such as, trauma, […]
- [Mastering my energy](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/mastering-my-energy/): In my latest journal, I’m exploring the subject of mastering my energy and how I’m using the moon’s energy to manifest my goals. I’ll begin with this very important question. I performed my new moon ritual last night, so now what? Indeed, it’s a very good question for those who wish to manifest their goals with the energy of the moon. You don’t just sit back and wait for your dreams to manifest! Sadly, there are lots of people who believe that setting an intention and performing a ritual is all that’s required. Today, I’m examining how to positively use my energy to […]

- [Anxiety and the Nine of Cups](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/anxiety-and-the-nine-of-cups/): Anxiety and The Nine of Cups go hand in hand for me today. This card reminds me how grateful I am for my journey so far however, today I’m being forced to face my fear. Battling Anxiety Previously, I’ve allowed my anxiety to hold my potential back. Over the last few years, I’ve done lots of self-therapy and I’ve learned lots about myself. I’m in a far better place with myself and the world around me! I have the job of my dreams and my relationships are healthy and strong, yet that little b***tard of an ego is trying it’s hardest […]
- [Levitating during Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/levitating-during-reiki/): In today’s Reiki Journal, I write about the sensation of levitating during Reiki. I know what you’re thinking and trust me, my experience is as bizarre as my bold statement, but where do I begin? Prior to a Reiki session, it’s important for the practitioner to consult with their client. We do this to ascertain how they’re feeling since their last session. However, if it’s a first-time session, the consultation is more in-depth as it’s important to explain what Reiki is and isn’t. My client Shelly, which isn’t her real name, came in to enquire about Reiki. A psychic told her […]
- [Dipping my Hands in Cool Water](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/dipping-my-hands-in-cool-water/): In today’s Reiki Journal, I write about the sensation of dipping my hands in pools of cool water during a Reiki session. When channelling Reiki for a client, it is important that we obtain a sense of their energy prior to beginning. We need to ascertain any blockages of energy, and we can feel this with our hands. Sometimes I can feel heavy patches, or a feather lightly brushing my hands. On rare occasions, I feel like I have dipped my hands in a pool of cool water. It was like dipping my hands in a pool of cool water I […]
- [Feather Touches during Reiki](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/feather-touches-during-reiki/): Today, I write about feeling the lightest of feather touches during Reiki that I feel on my hands and fingers.

If you would like me to mentor […]
- [Limiting Self-Beliefs](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/limiting-self-beliefs/): Today I’m taking an objective look at my limiting self-beliefs and surprisingly, my timing is perfect as I’m currently preparing for the Balsamic moon in 2 days time. Balsamic Moon When using moon magic to manifest my desires, it’s important that I use her energy at the right time. You can find out more about moon magic here. It’s during the waning phase of her cycle that we release what no longer serves us. Limiting self-beliefs will hold us back from achieving our dreams. Currently, I do feel like a cloud hangs over me although I don’t feel overly negative. I […]
- [Spiritual Guidance](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/spiritual-guidance/): Today in my Reiki Journal, I’m writing about my experiences and thoughts of receiving spiritual guidance during Reiki. Firstly, as a Reiki therapist it’s important that I ask for guidance and protection from my spirit guides prior to beginning a treatment. I remember my Reiki Master telling me that Reiki astral guides are present during an attunement. There are also many accounts of healers and Reiki practitioners sensing spiritual beings during a treatment. Read more about this from William Rand at Reiki.org. Below, is just one of my many experiences that provide me with comfort and reassurance. There’s a lot more […]
- [Full Moon Feelings](https://gemstoneandtarot.co.uk/full-moon-feelings/): Full moon feelings are certainly being felt. I’ve got so much to be grateful for during this full moon and the energy I can feel is one of pure excitement! This time, I forgive myself for my own induced self-loathing of my body, and I’m grateful that my heart is filled with self-love. The full moon is a time of immense energy whereby our dreams can manifest. However, I do know that to expect all my goals to manifest at once, is quite unrealistic. The key though, is being aware of my little wins and being grateful for them. To read […]
