The Thirsty Soul

Healing is messy and beautiful when we learn to embrace the Mystery.

This week's podcast episode asks 'What does healing mean to you?' and how does that definition support or hinder your healing?

Imagine healing as an ongoing, natural part of life - not something to be conquered, a destination to be reached or something reserved only for crisis moments. How can we move from seeing healing as linear, goal-oriented, or something within us to be "fixed."? What if we could open to the idea that our healing is a deeply personal and non-linear journey. One that invites us to embrace curiosity, self-compassion, and acceptance of all parts of ourselves - including the messy, tender, and resistant aspects?

We explore the importance of allowing healing to unfold in its own time and the soul's time. What would happen if we let go of the expectations we place on ourselves and our healing so we can be surprised at how the benefits ripple throughout our being and life. Rather than striving for perfection or instant results, we can instead focus on becoming more alive, embracing vitality, and engaging with life as it happens.

The episode ends with an invitation to reflect on what would change if you embraced wholeness as you are today.

In this episode, we explore Samhain, the turning point on the Celtic Wheel where we are invited to meet the depths within ourselves. The parts of ourselves that we’ve tucked away, resisted, or grown too comfortable with, even if they no longer serve us. Just as the snake sheds its skin, Samhain invites us to release what we’ve outgrown, to lay down what no longer fits, and offer these aspects to the cauldron of transformation. When we do this with reverence alchemy happens.

We also explore our relationship with death, our wise companion guiding us to live fully. Death teaches us that sometimes growth demands a sacrifice, where we are willing to lay down something precious in exchange for a fuller life. By navigating the ‘mini deaths’ such as the endings, completions, and changes in our lives, we prepare ourselves to meet the ultimate death with grace. To live life well and to die well is a gift to ourselves and others.

We pause to listen for the call of An Cailleach, that ancient wise woman of winter who guides us to reclaim our sovereignty, wildness and deepest inner knowing. Join me as we step into the coming darkness with our companions – An Cailleach and Spirit of Death

In this episode, we explore Samhain, a time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Often referred to as the Celtic New Year - rooted in the belief that all life begins in the dark - it's a potent time to reflect on how we've walked the Celtic Wheel over this past spiral. Together, we consider what needs to change, where we truly want to invest our energy and what needs to die to have space for greater aliveness.

We honor our ancestors, both known and unknown, learning as much from their wisdom as their challenges. We remember too, that one day we will be ancestors - what kind of ancestors do we wish to be? We consider the gifts of stillness and rest that we receive when we reconnect with nature’s rhythms and the wisdom of the earth.

Join me as we honor this sacred threshold, embracing the darkness as a powerful space for inner growth and deep healing.

This episode invites you to experience Reiki through a Japanese lens emphasising the three diamonds—earth ki, heaven ki, and heart ki - rather than the more widely taught chakra system. Learn how to 'polish these diamonds' through daily reiki practice so you can reveal your true nature and great bright light. This then helps you to have a shift in perspective for your self-practice, treating others with reiki and teaching reiki. This episode gives insights to deepen your practice and connect with the true essence of Reiki, regardless of your level of Reiki experience.
