We are not designed to carry energy and emotion that isn’t ours.
I learned this doing this work. There were years I’d finish a day feeling like I’d been living six other people’s feelings instead of my own.
What isn’t integrated doesn’t pass through us, it lingers. Gets heavier. Louder. Takes up room in the body. Clouds our own knowing.
This Friday’s eclipse isn’t asking you to feel less or care less. It’s asking: how much of what you’re carrying right now actually belongs to you?
You are allowed to put down what was never yours to carry.
A few Reiki spaces are left this week on Thursday and Friday afternoon. And a seat waiting for you at Saturday’s Full Moon Circle in person or online on Thursday. .
Comment MOON and I’ll send you the details.

This Friday, the Moon disappears into shadow.
It’s the second eclipse of the pair we’ve been living inside since the 12th. That one asked you to begin something. This one asks you to release something, right on the week the summer holidays finally run out of road.
I notice it every year. The point where I’ve given so much to everyone else’s summer I can’t quite tell which feelings in the house are mine, and which ones I’ve just been carrying for everyone else.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, the wheel closing before it turns again. Beautiful, until you lose the edges of who you are in the process.
This week isn’t about closing your heart down. It’s about asking what you’re still holding that isn’t yours.
I have a few Reiki spaces left on Thursday and Friday afternoon. And I’m holding a Full Moon Circle on Thursday, online and I can’t wait for my in person circle on Saturday.
Comment MOON and I’ll send you the details.

It is 11pm. The house is quiet for the first time since 6am. And there it is again. Is this it?
I have stood in my own kitchen and thought that exact thought, hand on the kettle, too tired to make the tea I came in for.
That thought is not ingratitude. You can love your children completely and still feel like you are disappearing. Both are true.
In the first ten minutes on my Reiki table, your shoulders drop. Your breathing changes. Your body remembers what it feels like when nobody needs anything from you. And you walk out softer with your kids and kinder to yourself, because your tank is no longer empty.
A few spaces left next week. Or book September, and come back to yourself when they go back to school.
Message me REST to start.

12 August to 28 August. You are living between two eclipses right now.
Tired but wired. Sleeping badly. Crying at everything. Snapping, then hating yourself for it. I used to think that meant something was wrong with me. It is eclipse season, and it stirs up everything.
And you are processing all of it while holding the entire summer holidays together. No wonder you are running on empty.
Reiki is not another thing on your list. It is the hour where someone else holds it all and your nervous system finally lets go. The difference shows up afterwards. Sleep that lands. Patience that is not forced. A longer fuse.
A few spaces left this week. September is open too, if the holidays have swallowed your diary whole.
Comment REST and we will find your hour.

Tonight the moon reaches its first quarter in Scorpio.
Halfway between two eclipses. Halfway through the school holidays. And if you are running on empty, that is not a coincidence.
The beginning was never my problem either. It was always the middle. The bit where the shine wears off and the to do list resets itself every morning.
A first quarter moon is not a test you are failing. It is the moon asking, do you still want this, even now it is hard.
I have a few Reiki spaces left this week and I am booking September now. One hour that is only yours.
Comment MOON and I will send you the details.

The moon crossed the sun and the light changed.
I know what it is to watch the light go out of a life. I also know what it is to watch it come back.
For years I followed a blueprint that was never mine. I stayed too long in things that stopped feeding me, because I had already invested so much and letting go felt like losing.
So many of us do this. We call it commitment. Sometimes it is pride, holding the door shut on the life that is waiting for us.
Here is the truth I found on the other side. Nothing was lost. Every year was an investment in who I was becoming.
This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo asks one thing of you. Take the wisdom, leave the rest, and let your own heart lead.
And if you are not feeling a huge shift, that is okay. The moon is a checkpoint, not a deadline. You can begin again on any ordinary Tuesday.
This is your permission slip. The dream you shelved for a better time. Start there.
What are you leaving behind, and what are you claiming? Tell me below.

Third quarter moon is tonight. Half lit, half dark.

This is the moon that asks you to be honest about what you’re still carrying.

This week has been a big one. Ben’s death anniversary. The waning light. Questions I’ve been sitting with about what belongs to me and what I’ve just been holding out of habit.

I’m not releasing the grief. The grief is love with nowhere to go and I’ll carry it always. But the pressure to have it all figured out by now? That I

This is the moon that asks you to be honest about what you’re still carrying.

This week has been a big one. Ben’s anniversary. The waning light. Questions I’ve been sitting with about what belongs to me and what I’ve just been holding out of habit.

I’m not releasing the grief. The grief is love with nowhere to go and I’ll carry it always. But the pressure to have it all figured out by now? That I’m happily letting go of under this half lit sky.

I have Reiki clients tomorrow which feels like exactly the right way to end this week, in the work I love, holding space for someone else and sharing a piece of their journey.

If something this week has stirred something in you, I have Reiki availability next week. Online or in person in Seascale. Drop me a message or link in bio to book. 🌗

What are you releasing tonight? You don’t have to be ready, just open.

05/08/2026

You’ve felt everyone’s feelings today except your own.

I’m Karen, solo mum, Reiki Master Teacher, former sceptic with a chemistry degree. Most women I work with aren’t exhausted because of what’s happening to them. They’re exhausted because of what they’re carrying for everyone else, and nobody ever taught us how to put it down.

This 5 minute ritual is a simple energy sweep and one honest question. No equipment, no experience, do it as you are.

Whose feelings do you carry the most? Be honest, I’ll go first in the comments.

04/08/2026

Nine years of grief has taught me one thing above all others.

You cannot release what you haven’t first been honest enough to name.

The moon is waning this week. The light is pulling back. In every cycle, this is the moment I get quiet and ask myself, what am I still carrying that was never mine to keep?
It might be an old story about who I’m supposed to be. It might be someone else’s grief, handed to me before I knew I could say no. It might be a version of myself I’ve outgrown but haven’t quite let go.

Nine years on from Ben dying, I’m still learning to tell the difference between what belongs to me and what I’ve just been carrying for so long it feels like mine.

This week I’m releasing the pressure to have it all figured out. What are you ready to put down? Tell me in the comments. 🌖

AG13 BEN. A number plate, stuck in traffic on an ordinary road, on an ordinary day. I read it as Aggie Ben and the whole world went quiet.

Today it is 9 years since Ben died.

I’ve never really had a nickname nor have I wanted one. Only once in my life have I ever had one. I met my stepdaughter when she was one year old, and somewhere in her beautiful curly blonde haired little head, Karen became Aggie. To her I was Aggie mummy. Ben followed suit. I was his Ags, his Agster. He never really called me Karen.

Nobody warns you about this part of grief. When someone dies, the versions of you that only existed in their voice start to die too. The names, the shorthand, the person you were when they said your name. Grief is not just losing them. It is slowly losing who you were to them.

That part of me began to fade, maybe she died when Ben did.

Or maybe she didn’t. Because there she was this week, nine years on, waiting for me in a line of traffic. Aggie Ben, together on a yellow plate, like a wink from the other side of the veil.

So today I am not just remembering Ben. I am remembering His Agster. The woman he loved by another name.

Who called you something only they could? Tell me the name in the comments. Let’s keep them spoken. 🤍
