Jacqui's Journey

Until the 1980s, I felt the whole of my life was a search for something invisible that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I always felt different to other people, but didn’t understand why, and finally came to the conclusion that everyone else must be feeling the same way. I have since found out that this is not the case !

Some of my questions were answered when I became interested in Druidry, and started to connect far more strongly with the Earth’s energies and seasons.  This, however, was only the beginning.

I finally began to feel "whole" when I discovered Reiki. I was a reluctant student to begin with, carrying the newspaper advert by a local Reiki master around with me for some weeks before finally calling and booking for my 1st degree course. Of course, as I well know now, Reiki is like that – if it wants you, it stalks you until you finally give in to it !
My whole perspective has changed since that first Reiki course, and for the better. Reiki has become an important and integral part of my life, and guides me in all situations.
I have much to be grateful to Reiki for – physical, emotional and mental well-being for the most part (though I am not abnormal – I do have off-days on occasion !!!), and the way that Reiki has guided towards other therapies and disciplines which have also helped me.
I have been a Reiki master now since 1998, and have been teaching since the beginning. I pride myself on holding courses which teach through joy and laughter (with a little seriousness on the side), and where individuals and their own situations and beliefs are also honoured. I believe that a Reiki course should allow sufficient time for students to practice giving Reiki, thereby getting as much information as possible before going out on their own to hone their skills. I also believe that support must be on-going after a course, and always welcome feedback and/or questions from my students after any course. In fact, many of my students eventually become life long friends…

Crystals came quite unexpectedly into my life as a natural progression from Reiki, and I am grateful for them ! Crystals are therapy in themselves, but generously sit in the background and support any other therapy which is being undertaken. I have been privileged, in the time I have dealt with crystals, to handle some stunning and interesting items. Those of you who remember my Inspired Choice shops in Slough and Windsor (sadly no longer trading) will remember the fantastic array of hand-selected crystals always available.

My life since Reiki has also been coloured and enhanced by becoming a channel for my guide Orsaya, who lovingly waits for me to make time to ‘bring her through’ and is always there for me with insights and guidance. I do not, at the moment, give channelled readings with Orsaya, but undertand that that might change in the near future …

Tarot cards have been a natural add-on to the Reiki and crystals, serving as a focus for my intuition and psychic abilities, This is not to say that I was keen to begin Tarot – no, I was actually nagged for several years before finally giving in and agreeing to learn the ancient art from an extremely talented and gifted clairvoyant reader. I was initially reluctant to accept that I do possess psychic abilities, but now concede, based on enthusiastic feedback from friends and now paying clients, that I do have the gift.

I really have no idea where my life is going to take me in the coming years, or what new skills I will pick up along the way, If you have read this text to the end, however, it is possible that we might be intending to travel part of the journey ahead together. If this is the case, I welcome you along, and invite you to check out my specific pages for Reiki, Crystals. Tarot, NLP or Meditations, depending on your needs or interests,

With Love and Light
