Embracing Balance
How to Work with the Autumn Equinox

As the leaves begin to turn and a crisp chill fills the air, we can feel the energy of the Autumn Equinox drawing closer. On 22nd, September, day and night stand in perfect balance, inviting us to pause and reflect on our own balance. But what makes this event so special, and how can we harness its energy in our lives?

What is the Autumn Equinox?

The Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon, marks the moment when light and dark are perfectly balanced as we stand at the crossroads of the Summer & Winter Solstice. It’s a pivotal point in Earth’s annual journey around the sun, signalling the official start of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

A Glimpse into Ancient Traditions

Our ancestors, deeply attuned to nature’s rhythms, celebrated the Autumn Equinox as a sacred time. In Neolithic cultures, it was a period of harvest and celebration. They gathered their crops, feasted, danced, and offered prayers of gratitude for Earth’s abundance. These ancient ascendants recognized the profound shifts in seasons, a practice many of us have forgotten – but are beginning to remember.

We are the Earth & Stars Too

Did you know that we’re made of stardust, just like the Earth? This connection reminds us that we are nature, in our entirety. Our internal rhythms are intricately intwined to the world around us. As we remember this truth, our souls yearn for alignment with the cycles of the earth and sky, guiding us to honour our inner seasons.

5 Ways to Work with the Autumn Equinox

As the Earth’s energy begins to wane, we too are called to embrace this season by harvesting what we’ve grown and preparing for the stillness of winter. Here are five ways to align yourself with the Autumn Equinox:

  1. Take Stock of Your Harvest: What seeds did you plant in spring that have now bloomed? Reflect on your achievements, challenges, lessons, and blessings since the Spring Equinox.
  2. Nourish Yourself: As nature retreats inward, you’re invited to do the same. Cultivate daily practices that nurture your mind, body, and soul even if it is just for 10 minutes!
  3. Slow Down and Embrace Stillness: Honour the natural cycles of rest and renewal. Take time to listen to your inner wisdom and prepare for the introspective months ahead.
  4. Release and Let Go: Like trees shedding their leaves, release what no longer serves you. This creates space for new growth and expansion.
  5. Plant Seeds of Intention: As nature drops seeds for spring growth, set intentions to nurture them over the winter so they can bloom in spring.

Rituals for the Autumn Equinox

Deepen your connection to this powerful time with these simple yet meaningful rituals…

Create an Autumn Altar

Set up a sacred space in your home with symbols of the season: fallen leaves, acorns, candles, and meaningful crystals. This can serve as a reminder of the abundance you’ve received and your intentions for the months ahead.

Gratitude Ceremony

In honour of the harvest, take a moment to acknowledge the abundance in your life. Celebrate your personal harvest by writing down everything you’re grateful for from the past year. Place this list on your altar as a symbol of what you have reaped.

Balance Ritual

Light two candles – one for light, one for darkness. Reflect on areas of imbalance in your life. Think about where you’ve been giving too much or too little of your energy. With each breath, visualize yourself harmonizing these parts of your life, inviting more balance and peace. Set an intention to carry this sense of balance forward through the darker months of the year.

Release Ritual

Write down anything you want to release onto a piece of paper. Habits, fears, relationships, thoughts, cycles, emotional baggage, anything. Then burn it with the intention for the fire to transmute the listed items into unconditional love. Release the ashes to earth as a symbolic act of letting go.

Journal Prompts for Deeper Reflection

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and connection. Use these prompts to deepen your connection with the Autumn Equinox energy:

  1. Your Harvest
    • What achievements or personal growth have I experienced this year?
    • What challenges have I overcome, and how have they helped me grow?
    • What am I most grateful for?
  2. Nourishing Your Soul
    • Do I find it easy or difficult to give myself time to self-nourish and love?
    • Who and what nourishes me?
    • What does nourishment mean for me?
  3. Embracing Stillness
    • What areas of my life feel out of balance?
    • Do I avoid moments for tuning into my inner world by making myself busy?
  4. Letting Go
    • What old patterns, beliefs, or relationships are no longer serving me for the highest good?
    • What people and situations (including myself) do I need to forgive?
    • How can I declutter my home, phone, social media?
  5. Planting Seeds of Intention
    • What is my big-hearted vision?
    • Who do I need to become for that to become my reality?
    • What seeds of intention do I wish to sow and to be nurtured over winter?

Take time to sit with these questions, allowing your responses to flow naturally. Your journal can become a sacred text of your personal journey through the seasons.

Honoring the Autumn Equinox in Your Life

The Autumn Equinox offers a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign with your inner balance. As we prepare for the darker days ahead, we’re reminded of the importance of rest, release, and renewal.

By aligning with autumn’s energy, we honour both the light and dark aspects of life as essential parts of our journey. Take this time to slow down, celebrate your personal harvest, and prepare for a winter of introspection and inner growth.

Remember, the intentions you set now are like seeds planted for spring. Nurture them through the coming months, and watch as they blossom into beautiful new beginnings.

Happy Autumn Equinox! How will you celebrate this sacred time of balance and reflection?

rEIKI

1-hour Reiki session in Swindon or remote - £50

Reiki is a gentle restorative form of energy healing that supports your emotional, physical, and energetic wellbeing. It helps your system return to a state of balance, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning universal life force energy. It is limitless.

Rei – Universal life | Ki – Energy

It is the energy that flows through all living things. This same vital energy is known as Ki, Qi, or Prana in other traditions — flows through everything in existence. Practices like acupuncture, tai chi, and yoga also work with this life force. 

When one’s life force energy is low and been depleted through stress, negative experiences and bad habits, the physical body can begin to suffer. Reiki acts like a river, rushing through your energy body, clearing energetic blocks and debris, restoring flow, and allowing your body’s natural healing processes to take over.

The fantastic benefit of Reiki like all holistic treatments is that it works on the whole you, at every level of being. Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually Bringing the mind, body and soul into harmony. 

What to Expect with an In-Person Reiki Session

You’ll lie down on a comfortable couch. I’ll scan your chakras and energy field to sense what’s needed. Then I place my hands gently on various places of your body channelling Reiki to specific areas that require support.

You may feel warmth, tingles, emotion rising, deep stillness, or simply a sense of peace. Each experience is unique, guided by your energy in that moment.

At the end of the session, I ground your energy, cleanse your aura, and seal your field to help integrate and protect the healing. I’ll also share any intuitive messages or guidance that arose, and offer suggestions to support you between sessions.

What To Expect with a Remote Distant Reiki Session

We are all interconnected energy, vibrating at different frequencies. Reiki is a very high vibrating healing energy, that is not bound by space nor time. Therefore it makes sense that a Reiki practitioner can channel Reiki to someone, or something, that is on the other side of the world, and it does not lose power. find out more by reading my blog WTF is Distant Reiki?

In fact, many clients find remote sessions even more powerful, as they can relax in their own space without the stress of travel or being observed. This often allows for a deeper surrender and more profound healing.

What happens during the remote session?

At the agreed time, I’ll connect to your energy field and scan your chakras to see what’s in balance or needs support. I then harmonize and clear your chakras, channeling Reiki to wherever it’s needed most for your highest and greatest good.

To complete the session, I’ll ground your energy, clear your aura of anything that no longer serves you, and seal and protect your aura.

All you need to do is find a quiet space, set the intention to receive, and allow yourself to rest.

After the session, I’ll send a follow-up email within 24 hours with any insights or chakra messages that came through, including how imbalances might have been affecting you and how to support your continued healing.

Sound Healing

1 Hour sound healing session in Swindon, Wiltshire – £65

Melt into the couch with relaxing resonance. You’ll begin with a grounding meditation to settle your body and mind. From there, your only job is to receive, letting the healing frequencies of sound wash through your entire system.

I use a carefully attuned combination of instruments including crystal singing bowls, gong, bells, and shamanic percussion. Each carries its own vibration, rhythm, and tone that interacts with your nervous system, brainwaves, and energy field in unique ways.

How Sound Healing Works

Sound healing works through entrainment , a natural phenomenon where your brainwaves, heartbeat, and breath begin to synchronise with the external frequencies you’re exposed to. This gently guides your body into a deeply relaxed parasympathetic state (often called “rest and digest”) where natural healing and restoration can occur.

Research suggests that just 20 minutes of sound-based meditation, such as with singing bowls, can help reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), enhance alpha and theta brainwave activity, and support balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. These brain states are associated with creativity, intuition, emotional release, and deep inner peace.

On an energetic level, sound can help clear stagnant or blocked energy, process unspoken emotions, and create more spaciousness in your body and mind. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, energetically drained, or just need to reconnect with yourself, this is a deeply restorative session.

No two sound healing sessions are ever the same — your energy guides the instruments. You’ll leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more connected to your inner world.

Akashic Healing

2 hour Akashic Healing session in Swindon or online – £111

This powerful two-hour journey dives deep into the Akashic Records. The energetic archive of your soul’s entire evolution. It holds everything: your past lives, karmic patterns, soul contracts, timelines, relationships, gifts, and all the sticky shit you might still be carrying.

This isn’t about floating off into the cosmos. It’s about understanding the root of what’s holding you back right now. Maybe it’s fear, repeating patterns, confidence blocks, relationship drama, money issues, or just a deep sense that something needs shifting. We’ll trace the threads to where it started, and then change the story.

You’ll be guided into a relaxed, meditative state where we’ll access a past life connected to your current challenge. As you move through that life, I’ll work with healing energy to help your soul release, process, and clear what is not longer yours to hold.

Depending on time and what your energy needs, we may then rewrite the story of that past life to bring deep healing. Or visit a lifetime where you fully embodied a strength you want to reclaim — like confidence, creative power, leadership, or self-love.

Each session is different, and deeply personal. You don’t need “psychic” or any previous woo experience. Just an open mind, open heart and willingness to discover..

Whether you’re at a crossroads, stuck in a loop, or ready to remember more of who you truly are, this session will help you clear what’s not yours and reconnect with the power that is.

Intuitive Healing Journey

4 x 75-minute intuitive healing sessions in Swindon, Wiltshire - £288

This is a deeply transformative healing journey across four sessions, created to support you wherever you’re at in life. Whether you’re clearing emotional baggage, navigating a big life shift, or simply wanting to rediscover and connect to your true self; This is for you.

We’ll work with a powerful mix of modalities, including Reiki, flame frequencies, sound healing, Akashic codes, ancestral healing, shadow work, and whatever else your system needs in the moment.

Across the four sessions, you’ll move through a deep process of releasing, recalibrating, and restoring your emotional, physical, mental, and energetic layers. You may also be invited to do rituals, ‘homework’, or simple practices between sessions to help integrate the healing into everyday life.

Each session ends with grounding, sealing, and zipping up your aura; keeping the energy clear and contained while you integrate.

Reiki & Sound healing

This deeply restorative session combines sound healing and Reiki to gently guide you in a blissful state of rest & digest. It begins with a full energetic scan of your chakras and body, identifying where there are any imbalances and blockages. 

From there, I work intuitively with Reiki and sound healing instruments such as crystal bowls and shamanic percussions. The two modalities work beautifully together,  to allow your body’s and higher-self’s healing wisdom to step forward. Allowing you to process, release and regenerate on every level, cellularly, emotionally, mentally and energetically,

We’ll finish by grounding your energy, sweeping and sealing your aura using Reiki. This helps the healing frequencies to integrate and remain active for as long as your system needs.
