Sounds A Bit 'Woo Woo' To Me

Have you ever been magnetically drawn to someone? Sensed an atmosphere in a room? Or had someone feel too close in your personal space? That's because we all have our own energy fields, and this week Reiki Master Sushma Sagar joins me on the podcast to talk all things energy healing and reiki.

Sushma runs her own reiki practice, The Calmery, on London's Harley Street and found reiki over 20 years ago during a difficult period in her life. Join us as we explore all things reiki - from what to expect in a treatment session and how we are naturally attuned to body energy - whether we have noticed it yet or not! We also talk about the NHS's use of reiki for patients, Sushma's incredible experience of reiki both in her own life and through her client work, and her brand new book Essential Chakras: Find Your Flow.

So, what exactly are crystals and how do they work with our bodies to help us heal?  This week I'm joined by 'Britain's leading crystal expert' (Daily Mail), Philip Permutt, to dive into all things crystals and explore their benefits from a total beginner's POV.

Philip is one of the go-to experts on all things crystals here in the UK, he's appeared on This Morning and been cited as 'one of the world's leading authorities' by Spirit & Destiny Magazine. Join us as we discuss the practicalities of choosing the right crystals and how to cleanse them, through to the origins of crystal healing and if man-made crystals hold the same benefits of those that have come from the earth...

Sure, we've all seen inspirational Instagram posts telling us that 'the universe has our back' and we have to 'dream it to achieve it' - but what does it really mean to manifest our goals, our dreams, and our desires? And how do we do it?

Becky Stanton is a Manifestation and Mindset Coach and joins me on the podcast this week to talk about the Law of Attraction (did you know, there are actually 12 Universal Laws, it just so happens that the Law of Attraction is the most famous? No? Me either!), how we can manifest more in our lives, and she offers up some tips and tricks for a cultivating a more abundant mindset.

Namaste!

Ever heard of tapping therapy? Also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, it is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative therapy the can help release our physical and mental burdens - literally by tapping on the face and upper body! So how does it work?

This week I am joined by Louisa Hussey, an EFT Practitioner and fabulous fellow northerner, who guides us through quite what tapping is, the science behind it, and the results she has seen from tapping both in her own life and her clients young and old.

We talk about the scientific studies that have shown that 1 hour of tapping can reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) but up to 43%, and how NICE (the UK government body that advises on healthcare practices) was the first in the world to approve research funding into EFT for trauma and PTSD.

Plus, we talk about our shared love of Elizabeth Gilbert and Louisa recounts a story that highlights the power we all have to heal and help one another.

Has 'self-care' become a meaningless buzz word? We hear it all the time - but what does it actually mean to put ourselves as Number 1? And what daily habits and routines can we put in place to really look after ourselves?

This week I talk to Suzy Reading. Suzy is a psychologist, a fellow yoga teacher, an author many times over, and she has an army of fans on Instagram where she posts daily about all things self-care.

We chat about self-care rituals, how to help friends and family who may be suffering, and why self-care isn't simply self-indulgence. Rather, it's something we can all implement, in small ways, thorughout our day in order to live a more meaningful, happy life.
