  • The Many Valuable Benefits of Reiki

    Posted on Thu, 13 November 2014

    Reiki is a very simple hands-on healing process that triggers the body’s natural healing abilities. This ancient and beautiful Japanese practice is one of the oldest healing systems around, using energy to balance the body and mind, often producing profound effects.

    At Acorn to Oak we teach all levels of Reiki, providing training courses for those looking to using it as a self-healing tool, or to treat family and friends – Reiki I; to offer treatments as Reiki practitioners – Reiki II; or to follow our Reiki Master & Teacher Pathway, during which you will learn all aspects of energetic healing and attain a high level of energetic management, as well as being equipped to teach Reiki to others.

    We had a particularly busy month in October, culminating in three full days at The Mind Body Soul Experience in Olympia, London - an extensive show bursting with vibrant energy, generated by over 140 stands, more than 60 workshops and hundreds of wonderful visitors. With a great variety of exhibitors from complementary health and spiritual awareness to personal development and an array of highly informative and entertaining speakers, the show is the largest of its type in the UK.

    Posted on Fri, 3 October 2014

    Arnica Montana is one of the best-known homeopathic remedies. It has been used for several trials to demonstrate the effect of homeopathic remedies on bruising and trauma. Indeed some plastic surgeons swear by it for reducing bruising after cosmetic surgery. Many people are “converted” to the homeopathic cause after seeing spec­tacular results with this humble herb.

    Arnica – the plant
    Arnica montana is an alpine plant, grow­ing in nutrient-poor soil. It can poten­tially reach a height of up to 60cm, but this is unusual given the harsh conditions at high altitudes. It grows in meadows up to 3,000 metres above sea level, where it is exposed to strong sunlight. The higher the altitude, the more aro­matic the plant will become.

    It is found throughout Europe, but nowadays it is more common to see hybrids of Arnica rather than the pure species growing wild. The natural habitat has...Read More

  • Advanced Energy Techniques

    Posted on Tue, 23 September 2014

    I had the great pleasure of hosting another brilliant weekend for our Reiki Master Students – Advanced Energy Techniques – I really enjoy being a part of it. It’s a residential course from Friday evening to Sunday late afternoon, this year we stayed just outside Frome in a complex of cottages with a games room and indoor swimming pool which added to its charm.

    We spent Saturday in and around Glastonbury, starting by climbing the Tor to investigate Ley Lines and the students received their first Reiki Master Attunement (Luckily for us it was a fine day with some great views). We then had brunch in Glastonbury where we discovery the regular, big or bigger full breakfast options! Following brunch we visited the Abbey for more ‘tuning in’ and ‘energy sensing’ which always is an interesting mix of high and low vibration and insights.

    Early afternoon we...Read More

Testimonials

Nice one, got heaps from this training. Gaps were filled and a new love born out of knowledge and experience. Thanks

Bob Lovelace, Chef

I have really enjoyed the group dynamic of the course - the fact that I can bring anything to the group and not be judged... it was a real safe space. This was absolutely invaluable :) Also learnt a lot from having people with different experiences and different... levels (not sure how to phrase this) of spirituality. So I am fairly new to this work, but having Amy etc, as well as Pennie present really helped. Some of the interactions between Pennie and the advanced level practitioners was really insightful, and made me reflect on my own behaviour, ie there was stuff that was pointed to the practitioner and the issues they were going through, but also it helped me notice behaviours in myself that I was not aware of, so I got extra gold out of it. I feel like I have grown a lot over the last year and am much better equipped to handle life's ups and downs, especially in comparison with the old me.... and that is due to the breathwork and the things I have learnt. This whole process has been really invaluable. The format of the day was good.. nothing felt rushed and ample time left for discussion and theory and breathwork.
