Our furry little herbert Lestat came to the end of his journey with us late last night. He passed gently and quickly with us at home, thanks to our amazing supervet neighbour Susanne. Absolutely heartbroken, but what adventures we’ve had. We miss him so much already, the place is far too quiet without his post farm patrol “AWOWW” meows… but in typical style the regal chair he favoured has been creaking as if jumped upon and I heard little tippy tappy feet in the hallway as usual in the night. Reunited with his brother Louis, I am sure he will be back and forth visiting as and when he chooses. His bro will show him how, he’s adept at it 🙂

What will I do without my little nap buddy? <3 I love you little friend…

Its only “au revoir” …Until we meet again xxx

Happy Monday lovely people…

I’d like to share a bit of what’s working for me personally right now, see if it can help you too…

Right now life is teaching me all about getting my mind above the things I cannot change, such as physical pain and the approaching loss of a dear friend.

I’ve been using my morning meditations and Reiki combined, and asking Archangel Michael and Raphael to help me to do my best work… to stand in my power in gentle ways… setting this intent as I begin each and every day to shift my mindset and equanimity to a higher consistent level. The sense of being able to cope with whatever new challenge I face is getting much stronger every day as a result.

For those of you who are Reiki attuned, try switching on your Reiki, do your hatsu rei ho practice then leave yourself switched on while you meditate, asking for the Reiki flow to strengthen your resolve and ability to mindfully and easily flow with whatever comes to you today… you’ll see what I mean 🙂 Remember to switch off and ground yourself when you are done too. Sometimes the Reiki turns off and lets you know when its done before your meditation ends though.

Guides said: “We cannot bend around our problems, we will break. Instead we have to change, to allow ourselves to get around each problem, challenge or issue without them becoming obstacles to slam into. You need to be a bit more Bruce Lee Rachel 🙂 You always flow like water… but now it is time to channel the power of water… formless but with the strength to endure and carve your own pathway with persistence…”

Gotta love my guides, they use what I know and look up to 🙂

So, today and every day, I am even more committed to flowing like water baby, flowing like water 🙂

Bright Blessings

Anyone who has had a reading with me knows I am shown things very much in a “say what you see” comedy bizarre way at times. Today’s was a coin next to a specific brand of sliced bread. Client was a little blank at first, then realised exactly what it was – her friend’s name! Never ceases to entertain me how guides come up with this stuff to get me to say what I see… 🙂

I am currently collaborating with some great like minded people to create an exciting new programme of teachings where we take you right from your spiritual awakening as a beginner to advanced level in your holistic spiritual wellbeing and development.

These teachings will be accessible globally online to help you improve and hone your spiritual wellbeing and abilities. To kick things off, we are going to answer your burning questions in a video presentation so… please do reply in comments below with whatever you’d like to know about the spiritual realms and how things work, or maybe you’d like to ask us about our own experiences working within the worlds of all things woo woo all these years! if you’d like your question to be anonymous, you can email me at info@ra-chi.com 🙂

I can’t quite put into words how excited I am about this opportunity to pass on what I know to people who want to work with integrity and commitment to their spiritual wellbeing and that of others!

Lots of love

Bright Blessings

I’m always aware of my guides helping me even in day to day moments when I’m not working actively with them, but super powerful feeling of love and support from guides this morning… some days they really step up to say “I’m here, let me help, listen!”

Felt a bit teary this morning after a very busy and emotional week of Mercury retrograde events and surprises of the unpleasant kind (plus full moon energy of course!) and, as often happens here… immediately my iPod became a conduit for guides and loved ones to tell me something…three songs in succession played with the exact right lyrics – Queen – “The Show Must Go On” – The Beatles “Let It Be” – and Bon Jovi “Every Day” – most certainly my father telling me in his inimitable style, “Buck up! Come on!” 🙂 My iPod is always hooked up to my stereo dock, its on shuffle mode most of the time so one of any of thousands of songs could play at any given moment… but the number of times I’ve had “Let It Be” come on as a message from Dad exactly at a moment of need…well, I’ve lost count 🙂

You’ve probably experienced this yourself at some point and may have realised what is happening… it is a very real “this world” way of them reaching out to us using the words and emotive expression of music. I believe music itself is often divinely channelled to the composers and songwriters who create it…not all, but some, certainly…

Our guides and loved ones become so adept at using electrical energy and gadgets to get a point or message across, I have had literally hundreds of such events happen for me personally over the years, I see them for my clients in readings all the time… instances where music, a song lyric or even a movie scene can have meaning at a precise moment, car stereos playing a meaningful song, or lyrics placed in the mind, often on repeat to convey comfort or direction.

My iPod, laptop or phone seem to be commandeered at these times, even switching on unaided or making sounds not programmed in! I remember the sound of a clown horn coming out of my phone during a sitting with a client… the phone had been turned off and that sound wasn’t programmed in as one of my ringtones or alerts! But it was very apt for the subject matter being discussed and raised a good chortle from us, the living 😀

So, when you hear a meaningful song, be it in your mind or around you via gadgetry… feel the love and gratitude it is sent with. I know I feel better each and every time it happens to me and gives me such comfort and strength.

Lots of love xx

As many of you may know, I used to be a real sceptic in my teens about anything remotely woo. I used to find the whole concept of mediumship or psychic ability the stuff of horror movies and Tales from the Crypt episodes 🙂 Oh how times and unwanted yet rather evidential proof can change a girl…

So in all this, I considered healing abilities to be a heap of fakery. And I retained that viewpoint until well into my spiritual development. Yes I could see and hear spirits, yet spiritual or Reiki healing? Nah.

I had some surgery after an accident in 1999 which left my lower right le filled with metal to hold it together and a lot of soft tissue and ligament trauma which was very painful, even 5 years afterward. No conventional big pharma painkillers worked, so I just resigned myself to it and applied mind over matter unless it was really bad. On one of my bad days, I also had a headache, which my good friend who was a Reiki practitioner offered to treat. I refused, saying I couldn’t understand how her laying her hands on my head could possibly work… so she laughed and said “Just let me do it and see if you feel any different in 10 minutes then”

Fully expecting nothing at all to happen, I closed my eyes as requested and she placed her hands on my head.

10 minutes later, I’d seen swirling colours, felt tingles and wonderful energy running through my entire body, my legs felt warm and comfortable, buzzing even! I couldn’t explain how or why… but I felt great. No headache and for the first time in 5 years I had no pain in my leg at all.

So that was me hooked! I finally understood what she had been talking about and wished I’d listened much earlier just from the pain management perspective it made such a big difference. You sometimes don’t realise how invasive pain is until you have respite from it being constantly there. Its ok to tune it out but to notice its absence after a long time, is blissful.

So I read up on this channelling of the universal life force energy that exists all around us and within all things… I read other people’s experiences of it online, and quickly realised I was on to something with the potential to change my life and the lives of others. It was its simplicity and purity that swayed my belief in it. Life force energy has no agenda, no need for embellishment – it just …is. It can do no harm, only benefit the recipient.

I decided very quickly to make time to study it over the next few years and become a practitioner myself. Initially, it was just so I could treat myself daily to maintain my wellbeing and pain levels, but I was soon treating the cat, our food, drinking water, the house to cleanse and keep it harmonious, you name it I Reiki’d it! And I still do, 10 years on. It has become a part of my life as natural and easy to me as breathing, it is just the simplest intuitive energy – switch it on and it flows wherever it needs to go for the greatest and highest good. We can set our intent where it can flow to, but it flows anyway. Quite often my hands get hot if I am around someone who needs healing on some level, the Reiki wants to flow where it is needed!

If you would like a little taster of this amazing energy, can you find 15 minutes somewhere in your busy life to experience deep and complete relaxation and possibly change your life with aches, pains and ailments like I did? Or have you experienced it and need a reminder of how good it feels?

Taster distant Reiki treatments with me are only £10. What price can we place on our spiritual and physical wellbeing? If you never try, you’ll never know what it could do for you… I waited too long …will you?

Back in March I finally had to step away from mediumship once and for all after 23 years. It was a sad decision but also one long overdue as my health was really being impacted still… even after really paring down how often I was seeing clients. A strange event occurred in the end which was a clear sign from above to just…stop. Or be stopped. So I have paid heed! The Universe will always halt us in our tracks if we do not listen and I had to just let go and be okay with that. And its no coincidence that in all these years I’d never found a local medium I trusted enough to refer my valued local mediumship clients to – and then one appeared! So I feel better that at least I’m not leaving people high and dry and can recommend a local person who will work in a similar ethical vein to me. My health is much improved already and I know I made the right decision 🙂

It is business as usual for Tarot Readings and Spiritual Life Guidance Sessions – no change there 🙂 in fact in the sessions I’ve conducted since closing down the mediumship connection, my guides are still providing pretty much the same level of information so I’ve been relieved and pleasantly stunned by that!

I’ve added a new date to Wishing Moon Workshops – now taking limited number bookings for 11th July! More to follow later in the year…

Life Coaching is really becoming popular now, I blend traditional life coaching tools and guidance with a slightly more spiritual intuitive angle and it is producing some incredible breakthroughs for my clients! Really loving those “aha!” moments when self realisation occurs! Very much looking forward to helping more and more of you as time goes on.

I’ve also decided to open up the availability for Quickie Phone/Skype Sessions to all, not just existing clients. We all get the occasional dilemma that doesn’t require an hour or more to delve into right? Some of my clients have asked if they can gift a session to friends, and these sessions have been just fine …So spread the word, book yourselves or someone you love in whenever you need me 🙂

I’ve freed up a few new appointments for late May, and am booking right into June now so if you are planning to see me soon, book ahead to avoid any disappointment…

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank

I came across this quote again this week, and it struck such a chord with me, and reminded me of how we often delay or negate our own right to improve our lives and the lives of others.

How often do we say to ourselves and others, “Oh life will be great when X happens to me…it’ll all be ok then” as if happiness and a better life is something that happens to us rather than something we can start living right now. And it starts small, improving the world. It starts with our thoughts.

I changed my way of thinking and expectation some years back. I realised that waiting passively for good things or change to just happen is just wishing your life away. Instead I decided to be happier, right now in the moment despite whatever “lack” or loss I was experiencing. My world changed forever the moment I lost my brother so suddenly, but it didn’t mean the rest of my life had to be filled with loss. I stopped expecting negative events to occur just because they had in the past. I stopped believing in “luck! (especially bad luck), and I stopped complaining or focusing on the things I couldn’t change. Instead, I decided to improve my little corner of the world first of all. And the rest followed, improvement came to life because the Universe met me half way wherever and whenever I made effort toward it. And in turn, I felt able to help others improve their corner of the world… and so it continued. The ripple effect of tiny things we change for the better continues past that which we can acknowledge.

I found that complaining is a pointless waste of energy unless we aim to make effective and positive change through doing so. I’m a fan of a good vent – (often a big sweary one!) then without fail I immediately move forward to come up with some kind of  solution or constructive alternative approach to solve whatever caused me to complain – or just let go of what I cannot change. If I waste my energy on dwelling on what just happened… it generates negativity and low morale, things just won’t improve. So I choose to be pro-active instead.

Accepting those events and changes outside my control was hardest of all… the realisation came via my guides that sometimes we write things into our life plan before we come here to this life just so that we experience what it is to walk a mile in those shoes, to hold ourselves with dignity, evolve spiritually and become strengthened of spirit for having gone through it. Often it is not the event that is the lesson, nor is it ever “punishment”…it is all about whether we rose to its challenge, and how we carried ourselves through it. And we often go on to help others going through hard times as a result.

By unlearning negative thought patterns and expectations, replacing them with positive thoughts and expectations wherever I could, I visualised changing my life for the better, really saw myself having achieved the changes I wanted to make, seeing the end result as already real. And it worked. I still have the occasional blip, I am human …but on the whole my life is a happy one, even though I still face the same challenges as everyone else.

Just like the positivity Anne Frank showed in the face of awful challenges that she and many millions in circumstances just like hers still face today… positive attitude is infectious… it inspires, it spreads, it grows. It is literally hope… it changes the world little by little.

No matter how tiny the change, if it is for the greater good, if it helps us to feel passion about what we believe is right, and compassion for our fellow human beings and creatures, if we improve how we truly feel about ourselves, inside and out… if we “Do Something About It” wherever we can… however big or small our “it” of the moment may be – then we improve the world bit by bit.

Anne Frank was so right in these words… we need not wait a single moment longer to bring positive and powerful change into the world, even if we just start with ourselves. Bigger things will change in time…

Hey all,

Well life has certainly settled into a lovely peaceful easy going thing once again now we’ve just celebrated our first wedding anniversary and the first month in our new home. I’ve been called upon to Reiki one of the rescue horses and continue to treat her and her owner as they go through a tough time. It really is a lovely farm with lovely people encountered so far. Clients seem to love it here too!

I’ve updated the Moon page with 2014 Wishing Moon dates as this Sunday was the last one for 2013

This time I’ve included the precise times of each full moon ~ https://rachelkeene.co.uk/my-spiritual-articles/pagan-articles/the-moon/ as purists like me like to get the energy boosted and maximised by doing the work on the waxing moon or precise moment its full 🙂

Busy times, I’m fully booked for everything except Quickies until December and dates filling up fast before Xmas, so make sure you book in asap if you need an end of year boost!

Brightest Blessings
