Mould: the phantom menace

Many very common symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, respiratory congestion and brain fog can be caused by a silent and often-undiagnosed household toxin - mould! This video discusses how and when to look into whether mould may be causing your wellbeing issues and what to do about it. If you would prefer to read my Blog on the topic, it was published by the Wellness Universe. This topic falls into one of the aspects of Evenstar 5 Star Wellbeing - Surroundings. I also cover some simple steps to take to reduce the risk of mould becoming a problem in your home: Open up: open doors and windows as often as possible, fresh moving air is the enemy of mould! Clean regularly: vacuum and dust, change linens Dehumidify: if you live in a humid climate, or your home has been diagnosed as damp, a dehumidifier will help to reduce the moisture build up that mould loves Indoor plants: plants naturally remove toxins from the air, and of course they also produce oxygen so they will make a big improvement on the quality of the air in your home (or workplace) Use essential oils: NB. definitely do not use artificial air fresheners – they are literally adding toxins into your surroundings by masking unpleasant smells with chemicals. Tea tree oil is anti-fungal and has a beautiful fresh aroma, it is literally

The Power of Pain

This video on the Power of Pain was recorded during National Pain Week (23-29th July 2018). In it I discuss the following aspects of pain: its purpose the metaphysical point of view my own recent experience with it treating it holistically with reiki using essential oils to treat it The Essential Oils I talk about Essential oils also work on all energetic levels of the body and provide a beautiful take home tool (for those not trained in Reiki!) to continue their treatment. Essential oils all have a particular emotional journey that they help us to move along, which is perfect when we want to tackle the underlying emotional causes of our pain, without even necessarily knowing what they are. Interestingly all of the essential oils that have strong analgesic (pain killing) properties also help us with being emotionally stuck, constricted, fearful or controlled, which is so important when we remember that pain is giving us a message to stop and reassess something in our life. My top pick is Rosemary because it is strongly analgesic and also helps to eliminate emotional restrictions that prevent us from moving toward our higher purpose. Other oils that are useful here are: peppermint (especially where you need focus), fennel (especially where you feel unfulfilled), ginger (especially where you feel depleted), lavender (especially where you feel neglected), marjoram (especially where you feel anxious), and

Moving on from Grief and breaking the cycle of negative energy

Moving on from grief and breaking the cycle of negative energy Throughout life we all experience grief. There are a multitude of reasons why this can be so. You may have a loved one die or become seriously ill, you may lose a pet, you may have to move on from a job, a place or a group of people that have been a big part of your life for a long time. The risk of not dealing with grief appropriately is that the emotion takes over your life and creates a cycle of negative energy where you stop looking after yourself and become unable to let go of the sadness and loss, risking mental of physical illness. How can you deal well with grief? Give yourself time. Grieving is not a 24 hour virus, you will need to journey through the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) over a period of time. This will vary from person to person but can be weeks, through to months, or even longer. It is important to allow yourself to actually feel sad and to be able to express this, so make sure that you are giving yourself the opportunity to do so. Don’t rush back to work after bereavement leave, forcing yourself to be in a situation where you need to be professional and action-orientated rather than allowing

How Reiki can help Headache and Migraine, and improve your Wellbeing

How Reiki can help Headache and Migraine, and improve your Wellbeing Migraine. Headache. Overwhelming pain, dizziness, nausea, vision impairment. Wasting a day or more lying in a darkened room, unable to do all those things you need to do or care for people you need to care for. Taking pain killer after pain killer but finding that nothing helps and all you can do is wait out the migraine monster. Then to add insult to injury it is common to have a migraine ‘hangover’ for several days afterwards where you still feel well below par. Why just treating symptoms is not good enough Perhaps when you have a headache or migraine you use medication or some other therapy and find that it does give you temporary relief from the pain and discomfort. That is great at the time but if you are not exploring and treating the underlying cause of the problem then it will keep returning. Pain relief can only ever deal with symptoms, not underlying causes. Your body is designed to heal itself and you are being sent this pain sensation for a reason - your body is sending you a message – by treating the symptom you are ignoring that message – in a wellbeing sense you are shooting the messenger!! The problem with just treating the symptoms of migraine and headache and not addressing their underlying

Reiki or Massage – which treatment should you choose?

Reiki or Massage - which treatment should you choose? If you've decided that you want some body work to help improve your wellbeing - relieve stress, reduce pain, improve sleep, balance mood - but you don't know whether to choose reiki or massage then this video will allow you to beat the overwhelm of the decision making process and take some action, now! Many people assume that Reiki is a type of massage, but it is not! There are a few similarities, as you will find out in this video, and certainly they do have many similar benefits but they are very different practices and it is important to work out which will better meet your current health needs. Here at Evenstar I do offer Aromatherapy Massage as well as Reiki. Aromatherapy massage is an extremely gentle relaxation massage which stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system through the use of essential oils. When you've watched the video and chosen to have some Reiki or an Aromatherapy Massage book an appointment here! If you've still got some more unanswered questions please contact us.

I’m feeling sick – should I have Reiki?

A client - and dear friend - rang me today to cancel her appointment because she has come down with a nasty cold, unfortunately a few days before she is flying overseas! She was booked in for an aromatherapy massage, and as she was suffering from nasal congestion and feeling a bit feverish the idea of taking off her clothes and lying face down for 45 minutes was not appealing! She was also concerned about giving me her germs. My first reaction was, of course, sympathy! My second reaction was that my clients should not ever worry about giving me their illness. I told Jules that I could protect myself, and I meant it most sincerely! As Reiki Master I will always ensure that I protect myself from taking on the energies of other people and my use of essential oils gives me (and clients) added protection, through diffusing oils that have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-septic properties to ward off any germs that may lurk in my treatment room! Really, would you not go to see your GP because you were sick and didn't want to give them your germs? No, of course not. My dream is that in the future more people will go to an energy healer as their first point of call for treatment of any illness.* Most illnesses have their origins in your energetic body. In

Pain

Reiki is well recognised for its efficacy in pain relief. One of my most memorable successes with a client was a woman who was referred to me, wracked with the constant pain of fibromyalgia - a condition that western medicine struggles to deal with adequately. This poor lady came to me stating her level of pain was at an '8' - medically speaking severe pain that is 'utterly horrible'. After her treatment her level of pain had halved to a moderate '4'. Her pain remained at a reduced level and she came back for two more treatments over the next week, before transferring to a practitioner closer to home. Those kinds of results, and my client's commitment to her own wellbeing make my job so very meaningful.
