		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone

HAPPY 4th JULY... I'm sure many of you will be making a weekend of it... ha ha ha!

Well, our hopes for a Wimbledon win have gone down the pan but...

What a lovely week we have had. 

Tuesday was Chris's birthday, so we took the day off and went up to Edinburgh.

The weather was fabulous and we took two tour bus rides around the city. It's a smashing way to 'see the sights' and pick up some of the local history without tiring your feet out... ha ha ha!

Well you'll never guess! But...

The Queen was in her castle, having a garden party :-) We wondered why there were so many beautifully dressed people about and such a lot of policemen too...

I felt quite under dressed in flip-flops and my sun hat... ha ha ha!

I took some video of the crowds for you all to see and I think my videoing skills are coming along quite nicely... ha ha ha...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mornin' all...

Well, we still have the heat but the sun is not waving anymore... ha ha ha! It seems to be more stuffy and humid. But I'm not complaining because we like the warmth :-)

Didn't help the Lions (British and Ireland rugby team) to win mind you but maybe next time...

Today I am just going to talk out loud and speak as 'I' find. 

These are my opinions and may not be yours... but that's OK too :-)

I've had a wonderful, relaxing week and given myself time to think... 

You see, I am not really interested in healing the world or my friends or my neighbours or my family. 

To me, that is their job, their responsibility.

But I do believe that change the man and you change the world...

I do believe in that old saying, if you give a man a fish, you feed him once but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.

So, if you want to change YOUR world then first you must create the change within <strong>YOU</strong> - and not in anyone else.

As you change, so the ripple effect will spread out and reflect back to you in all aspects of your life...

...and Reiki is a tool you can use to do this.

Reiki is not just a "healing modality to save the planet and all who sail on it"... it is a tool you can use to create all the changes you would like to see in YOUR world. 

Yes, YOUR world - for there is no other world but yours'...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good morning all...

Happy Summer Solstice :-)

I hope you are all being positive and creative in your thoughts this weekend, given that it is such a powerful time of creation, just like Christmas :-)

And, of course... Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there if you are celebrating this event in your part of the world :-)

Now, I know we girls like a bit of chocolate but you lads do okay too... 

...with, chocolate golf balls, chocolate cars and probably chocolate socks and hankies too... ha ha ha!

But a lot of what you fancy does you good, or is that supposed to be a little - hmmm, I honestly don't remember - well when it comes to chocolate anyway :-)

But, enough of that - here's this week's question...


Q...Greetings from New Zealand.

Today I was chatting to a Reiki practitioner and telling her of my plan to work with children. 

By day I am a Steiner Kindergartener. Her response was interesting in that she thought the 'reaction' would be too powerful for children to be immersed in?

This is not my interpretation, but, as a novice I am keen to learn...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good mornin' all...

I was chatting with Chris the other day and he was talking about diseases and statistics etc... and it struck me that no-one dies of old age or natural causes any more.

Call me old fashioned :-) but nowadays it seems you are not allowed to just die, you must die of 'something'.

If it is not an obvious cause, like being hit by a bus or rotting parts, then they love to cut you open to see if they can discover something, in fact anything... ha ha ha!!!

But you must conform, even in death, and you must have the proper label to tie on your big toe... ha ha ha!!!

Years ago I used to say that people died of old age because they didn't visit a doctor, so no-one knew why Granny sat in the corner and never went out.

Ladies had 'ladies problems' that were unmentionable and so, of course, weren't mentioned. 

Gentlemen, ahem, likewise... ha ha ha!!!

Call me old fashioned :-) but people appeared to pass with more dignity. It was simply time to die. Death was much more a natural occurrence, more a part of life.

Yes they had 'causes' for their demise but they simply let things run their course, naturally. 

It was a natural event that everyone shared. 

Children and the dogs played outside. "Granny's dying, keep the noise down"... ha ha ha!!! 

But you and Granny accepted the next step, embraced it without fear and moved on.
I am sure some diseases are made-up nowadays just for the sake of something to write on your label (In fact I know they are, but that's another story - maybe for another time)...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mornin' folks...

I'm feeling fabulous, chilled and refreshed after my short break :-)

But what were you all up to last week? 

You see, because as I was away and there wasn't going to be a Sunday chat I thought it'd be a good idea to just drop you a quick line to let you know this.

But over 4,000 of you mistakenly thought the link in that email was for the Sunday Chat, clicked it - and promptly stopped themselves from receiving any future Sunday Chats as the link was actually an unsubscribe link :-(

Now the thing is, it seems that almost everyone who clicked this link immediately realised their mistake and wrote to say that they didn't mean to do so - which means we've been absolutely swamped with emails... 

...and haven't been able to deal with all these requests in time.

So, here's what we propose to do:

Our techie will re-subscribe you all through our mailing system control panel - but the bad news is, if you really did want to unsubscribe you will now be annoyed by receiving this email...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good mornin' all...

I have had to get up at 5am to write this - a bit extreme I know but then this whole week has been either one extreme or the other... ha ha ha!

...and life can often seem like that. 

But on the inside, the trick is to stay calm and serene, even when all about you is in chaos.

Easier said than done, of course, but not if you use your Reiki to steady yourself :-)

A daily self treatment will always bring you back to your centre. Then the gales of life may blow and the roof fall in and you will take it all in your stride.

Okay, the news you have all been waiting for :-)

DC, our son, put in some extreme effort last Sunday and won the Burnmouth Brae, uphill sprint race... fantastic!

He broke his own personal best time, which won him the race last year, by 9 seconds and actually beat the course record by 5 seconds, which had stood for 6 years :-)

That's my boy! :-)

The extreme effort of running up a steep gradient for 2 minutes 22 seconds :-) caused his body to react in the extreme too.

But the rewards and accolades were extreme as well...]]></description>

Today's the day...

Today is the day of the Burnmouth Brae uphill running race! 

DC, our son, will be running in it to defend his title at about 2pm today so any spare 'energetic' thoughts and plenty of calming but energizing Reiki will be well received :-)

He hopes to win again AND set the record :-) That's my 
boy... ha ha ha!

I have added a little video at the end of this chat so you can all join in from your armchairs... ha ha ha!

The race is organised by the Royal National Lifeboat Institute and all the monies raised go to support them.


Ok, time for a quick question and affirmative reply :-)


Q... I have talked with a friend who was attuned as Master. I have noticed a change within her to be more calm and relaxed. Should I tell her about my self-attunement, I do not think she would believe about the truthfulness of it.


And my answer..


A...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Mother's Day for those in America and Canada :-)

But while we are on the subject of shin-digs let's not forget to say... Happy Wesak for the Buddists too :-)

And I'm happy to say that Chris and DC have finished decorating our breakfast room and it looks smashing, champion, chuffin' grand and is now the nicest room in the house... ha ha ha!

We all have hidden talents like painting or carpeting :-) up our sleeves but perhaps we don't know about them until we find we need to use those talents. Then we say we have a natural aptitude or leaning towards those skills.

Not that Chris and DC are going to set up a painting and decorating company, anymore than I am going to become an interior design consultant... ha ha ha!

But we can all do something when pushed, and usually better than we first thought but if you want to excel at something you need to follow your heart, listen to your intuition and TRUST yourself.

This will give you the confidence to know whether you can just do something when necessary, or if you really do have a natural knack for it :-)

So - What's your Reiki Talent?

Okay then, onto a question...


Dear Judith,

I have been listening to your Sunday morning discussions for weeks now and I took the Reiki-miniam still not sure course. I  if Reiki is what I need. I feel that healing is one of the gifts that God has given us.

I feel very gifted...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mornin' all...

This is going to be a somewhat eclectic Sunday chat today... ha ha ha!

You see, these past couple of weeks I have had two types of stories or general themes if you like.

One has been about cancer and the other fear, and often the two go hand in hand :-(

OK, so let's address the big C first.

As you know we like to keep things very simple around here. But we also like to get results. We strive to give YOU the tools to make your life better than it is at present.

There is no one 'cure all therapy' and usually it is a case of trial and error before you find the right one for you at the right time.

Now, here's a little background about this so you know I speak from experience... and remember, there are no accidents EVER...

Sixteen years ago I started on Oxygen Therapy after reading Ed McCabe's book on the subject. I found it fascinating and have used Oxygen Therapy on and off ever since...

...and you may recall a while back, I suggested Oxygen...]]></description>

I hope you all kept busy this Thursday...

...rescuing damsels in distress and eating Red Dragon Pie. 

Of course, you'd only have done that if you remembered it was St George's day!

And, as the English don't seem to celebrate it by getting as drunk as a skunk, it does tend to get totally overlooked :-(

It was also the Queen's birthday on Tuesday too... :-) which makes it sound like a jolly English sort of a week was had by all... ha ha ha!

Okay, now let's not digress and get caught up in the giggles, like we did last week ha ha ha!

So let's get on...

There are many sites nowadays that do...]]></description>
