Summer Solstice Celebrations!

The Summer Solstice is my favourite day of the year. I love light, and it's the perfect day for celebrating the highest point of the year.

This year I am hosting a women's gathering - including shamanic drumming, a fire ceremony and guided meditation, deep in the heart of nature.

It is the first of hopefully, regular theraputic group work evenings - to allow clients and friends to get together and experience a different type of healing power that is obtained within circle work.

The aim of this evening is to enable like-minded souls to join together, make new friends, have fun and raise positive energy. There will also be the chance to powerful let go of old energy - creating space for the next cycle and attracting more of what you want into your life.

I made the picture to the left especially for this event and will be bringing it with me to absorb the sacred energy. If you have items you wish to energise - crystals, jewellery, etc - please bring them along for adding to the alter (see below). I often use a jar of honey for this purpose - you can then have spoonful in the months to come - when you need a positive boost!

Please Dress for the Occasion!

There are no rules here, turn up however you like! However I encourage you to add some colour or creativity to your outfit. Masks, wigs, hats, face/body paint, feathers, special jewellery bright scarves or colourful clothing are all possible ideas. Also remember it might be cold - this summer isn't exactly a scorcher, so jumpers, wellies, warm socks etc are probably also quite useful. If it rains I will work something out - but fingers crossed it will be a beautiful, warm evening.

What to Bring

The list below are suggestions - feel free to interpret my ideas and choose what resonates for you.

  • Warm clothing, blanket, cushion or rug - comfort items for sitting down
  • Something you wish to release in the fire ceremony. This can be in any format - I am making a collage type picture, other ideas are a painting or sketch, a poem or no-send letter expressing feelings you want to let go, an object that is burnable and signifcant to what you are letting go of, or you could express it with a chant or song, or even a sacred dance. If you are short of time, just write your intention down clearly on a piece of paper and visualise all of your energy going into it
  • An offering for the fire - something simple like a flower from your garden, a poem or positive picture, or some tobacco or other sacred herbs
  • You are also welcome to bring any drums, rattles or musical instruments if you wish
  • Anything you wish to add to the alter to bless (you will take this back home with you)


Fire Ceremony

After connecting the circle, the fire ceremony is the first part of the evening. Each person will have their turn to release their old energy - throwing or directing it to the fire, as we all support them in doing so. This will be followed by them giving their offering to the fire - to say thank you for its help.

Guided Meditation

I will then lead a guided meditation to take you on a journey with the drum - to either clarify your vision for the next cycle of the seasons, or gain guidance on the next steps to take towards your dream. You may sit down for this, or dance or sway - or sing or rattle or join in the drumming. Reiki will also be sent round the circle, to raise the energy further.

At the end we will re-ground and herbal tea and snacks will be provided - although please do eat before you come. There will be time before and after to chat and I am aiming to wrap it up by 8.30-9pm for people who need to get back to families etc.

So looking forward to seeing you all.

Love and Light,
Rachel

Fine Art Brings Happiness

A beautiful and moving image now graces my wall: layers of vibrant colour alternatively reveal and conceal forms of significance, depicted with emotion and artistry. The abstract quality is such that it is a timeless piece I will always value and enjoy.
Thankyou !

Feng Shui Consultation for New Home

Growing up in China, I have always interested in Fengshui. As we were moving to Ipswich, I googled Fengshui consultant locally and that is how I found Rachel. I am so glad that we connected through the email initially. The house move took 9 months, Rachel was so patient, and she offered me advice through the process. I was so excited to meet her the day after we moved in. It provided us with a lot of comfort and guidiance at the new home. With her consultation, we had a much better understanding of the new space. Rachel is very intuitive, she did the dowsing, cleared the geopathic stress by using 'acupuncture'. The ritual she carried out involved all family member, so it was rather special.  By using Fengshui principle and combined with our personal astrology, Rachel pointed out where the 'special corners' in our house, for example the wealth, relationship, friends and helpful people etc; She also helped us choose the interior colour, elemental accessories, positive symbolism in art works etc. I am so glad that I have found Rachel. It made us settle in and connect with our new home much quicker. The declutter has given us a much healthier space to live in. Whenever I feel disconnected with our home, I try to use some of the Fengshui she taught us to refresh and cleanse. I am so grateful that I contacted Rachel at the first place. 

Feng Shui Resolved Serious Mental Health Issue

I asked for Rachels help with a young family member. They were having mental health issues which involved refusing to attend school, withdrawing from friendship groups and showing signs of psychosis. Rachel discussed with me her findings regarding her birth date and time in relation to her specialised work. Together we put a plan in place as I was to help. I carried out her recommendations. She stated that this time would come to an end this Spring and they would be through the part of the chart that was causing the chaos. I am so excited to report that they were again attending school until the lockdown. She is fully interacting with her family and is again part of her friendship group. Due to the lockdown and her now being well she is catching up with the school work she missed and will be ready to start again when the time comes. She is now off all medication which included ADHD and antidepressant prescription drugs. I cannot thank Rachel enough. If you are on the fence regarding her work, don’t be, it will be the best thing you could do for yourself and those you care for.

Feng Shui Consultation Solved Tenant Crisis Ipswich

"Before I got in touch with Rachel, I was at a loss to know what to do. I had bought a flat to rent out in Ipswich, but it attracted the wrong types of tenants. The previous three tenants had either not paid their rent or had left the flat in a very bad state of repair, or both. In effect, I was just chucking money into a big black hole. I wanted to keep the flat, which I would eventually pass on to my son, but I still had the mortgage to pay. After reading about feng shui and the effect it can have, I was keen to find out more. I contacted Rachel and she explained what she intended to do and why. Admittedly, I was a bit sceptical at first, but I was keen to give it a go. Much to my amazement, after a six month rent void, that same week, a potential tenant turned up at the flat. The couple liked what they saw and moved in within two weeks. Much to my relief, they also paid the rent on time. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone in a similar situation."
