I’ve used oracle cards, and tarot, since my teenage years, though only ever as a personal tool for guidance. However, there was always part of me that wanted to be able to read for other people, offer them help, but I always doubted myself. I’ve had a couple readings myself, and when I was on my honeymoon in Cornwall, during a reading a card came up that showed mediumship, and the wonderful lady, Maggie, knew of my knowledge of this, but she saw me more as a healer than a ora

We are all told to give our thanks, but how many of us remember to give thanks to the smallest of things? It was some years ago that I first heard about gratitude, as in writing down what we are thankful for each day, as a tool for self help and spirituality. Yet, it wasn’t until late last year when I bought myself a fancy journal that I began to make it a daily thing. (Admittedly, I’ve had a wobble of late, days, or a week would go by without writing anything as life has ove

I remember the first time I came across crystals and their healing properties. I was around 8 years old, and on a family holiday, somewhere in the UK. We had gone to a small theme park

So a couple weeks ago, I went to a Spiritual Get Together (read about it here if you haven’t had chance yet) hosted by healer and holistic therapist Helen Shortland. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was a couple hours breather for me from doing ‘mum’ things and a chance to learn some tips on how to read oracle cards, meditate and give healing, which was a completely new experience for me. I have put these skills into practice since, giving my husband an oracle reading using a

When I was scrolling through my Facebook page, I saw that Helen Shortland (helenshortland.com) had posted a link to her monthly newsletter – which is always a welcome read! One particular part that really piqued my interest was a Spiritual Get Together, where we would be doing a guided mediation, oracle card reading practice and healing practice. That was it, I was definitely going! (Though double checked Hubby didn’t have plans so he could be on Dad duty.) I first met Helen
