Welcome to Autumn at The Stillpoint
Well, the nights are getting chilly and the days don’t know what they are meant to be – wet, windy, sunny, hot! But who’s complaining?
At least we are safe and relatively dry after all the turmoil on the planet.
And here at home, its time for doonas on the bed, and warm towels from the heater at The Stillpoint. Yum!
Treat your body to a massage this season – treat it every month or every week. Help it recover from gardening, life stress, changeable weather. Or just as a treat! See you soon…

Coping with World Tragedies
The recent tragedies across our region have left many of us feeling very sad and powerless in the face of such huge human and natural disasters.
With the constant bombardment of images and news we receive in our homes, it is very easy to sink into the shared emotions of grief and loss, that we can see every hour. And now that a little time has passed, its easy to forget all those who are still stuggling to grieve and to recover.
I would like to share with you some guidance that came to me after the Christchurch earthquake. I was at the Deva Premal ecstatic chant retreat and we were singing our love to those affected by the quake. I became so caught up in the emotions of loss and grief and despair, I was unable to sing for crying.
Then a very clear ( and almost stern) voice told me
” They do not need your tears.
They do not need your grief.
They have more than enough of their own.
What they need from you is your love and your strength.
Sing them that!”
So in the same spirit, I suggest that when we are feeling overwhelmed by grief or powerlessness, if we can’t do something physical to help (as few of us can), send your Love & Strength, prayers & Reiki.
When you think of Japan, or Christchurch or Grantham, or the States, send your Love & Strength & Reiki. Send prayers. Send streams of white light. Chant mantra if that’s your thing.
The mantra Om Shree Dhanvantre Namaha invokes the Celestial Healer, and is my personal practice at this time.
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha calls on Ganesh to remove obstacles, and Om Shanti Om, invokes peace.
We shall be doing group healing sends in our Reiki shares, so if you feel to join us in person ( or in spirit at that time), please do. There is a cumulative effect when intention is shared.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti Om.
Gift Vouchers
A gentle reminder to those of you who received or gave Gift Vouchers for Christmas. Technically, they expire after 6 months (not that I have ever held anyone to it!) but I find if they are not used in that time, they get forgotten.
So call to make a time today – and remember to let me know if you are using a voucher.
