It’s been snowing here in the UK. Those who know me know I’m really not a fan of the cold weather.

But there’s always something quite romantic and nostalgic about watching snow falling and seeing everything covered in white.

Buuuut...give me the summer sun and heat any day!

Today’s the first day of the bowl giveaway, yaah!

Everyday this week I’m giving away this bowl and mallet to seven lucky winners.

See previous post for full details and how to enter.

You can enter from anywhere in the world the whole of this week (last week of Jan).

I’ll announce the winner of today’s giveaway later today.

This is so fun!

Yesterday. The first Monday of 2021.

A feeling of frenzy in the air as people get back to work after the festive season.

I also had a list of stuff to do. Some things happened. Some didn’t.

Yesterday, the boiler broke at home.

No heating or hot water.

It was fixed in the afternoon. And we back.

Yesterday, the UK launched into another lockdown.

Before the announcement, I replied to emails saying I’m extending my time off in Jan as my time off in December didn’t really happen as planned.

Now, it’s a given.

Yesterday, I had an argument with a family member about nothing much at all.

You know the kind.

I despise arguing. It’s unnecessary. But it happens. Rarely.

I apologised later. But couldn’t sleep thinking about how silly it was and what I could have done differently.

Yesterday, I postponed a planned Feb in person training in London.

It will happen. For now, we patiently wait.

Yesterday, I launched my course online for the first time.

A moment I’ve been thinking about, working towards and looking forward to for the last 12 months.

Perfect timing for the lockdown.

With people already waiting for the April intake.

Pinch me. So so happy.

Yesterday.

Yesterday was an interesting day.

With all that happened yesterday, stress levels were low.

My takeaway from it...I’m blooming good at adapting.

With adaptation comes acceptance of the moment, situation, circumstance, emotions.

And gratitude. Lots of gratitude...

...for what I have to keep me warm and sane.

...for what’s in my control.

...for the people around me who teach me so much about life and myself.

...for always being willing to look at myself and learn from what life dishes up to live and love more consciously.

...for connection to source, to people and WiFi.

We’re all feeling stuff. Everyone’s experience is valid.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie...

“Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That’s why it’s called the present”
~ Alice Morse Earle

I don’t normally talk about this because I don’t want it to seem like I’m seeking validation. It’s a little different this year, so here we go...

For every person who joins an in person or online course I donate £20 to charity.

I donate the money in one go at this time of year when I’m taking stock of the past year.

Some of my courses couldn’t go ahead as planned for 2020, so we continue to wait for a time when they can happen.

For the courses that did go ahead this year in the UK, I got to work with 22 beautiful course participants.

That’s £440 for charity. I rounded it up to £600 because it’s extra potent this year.

I had a few charities in mind that I wanted to donate to, but I couldn’t settle on which one.

And then we received the news that my uncle had a massive heart attack on Boxing Day. He’s ok and is recovering in hospital.

So this year my donation went to @the_bhf

From my heart to everyone who has taken a course or is going to take a course with me, thank you for being a part of the expanded intention of heart.

The organ of human life and love and from where I send my intention for healing and love in abundance to all those who need it.

❤️

I’ve just come out of a week of sound and healing. I feel like I’m floating and vibrating higher.

So content, so full of love, so ready for another week of giving and receiving. Working with new friends, transforming existences and witnessing incredible souls becoming sound healing practitioners in their own light.

Gaaahhh. I love what I do.

Did you know it’s a full moon lunar eclipse tonight?

Do you know what else is happening tonight?

It’s the last day of my early bird offer for my online courses.

40% off becoming a certified Sound Healing Practitioner for one to one clients and group sessions.

Pure awesomeness.

I didn’t plan to end the offer on the full moon. But the alignment is just wonderful.

A time of completion. To surrender and allow what ever needs to go, to go. And to allow what ever needs to come, to come.

And this has also been aligning with the people who have signed up to my online courses.

2020 has given them an opportunity to view what’s important to them and their lives and they are making a change from corporate grind to holistic business owners.

Creating something for them.

And I’m all in here supporting it.

I’m so excited because the first January intake has been filling up so fast and there are only a few spaces left.

The offer ends at midnight tonight. Tomorrow it will be full price.

Do you feel the alignment too?

Most of you reading this will have adapted your life to moving online at some point either with work, catching up with friends or exercising with an instructor.

It is now easier than ever before to attend a Yoga session in India, a cooking class in Bali or even a sound healing session in the UK…wink wink.

Doing anything online is convenient practically.

You can tune in from anywhere in the world on your own schedule and at the same time you can have something baking in the oven, you don’t need to find someone to look after your kids, pets or plants. And you can wear whatever you want.

Sound healing wise, the dream of attending a session in your PJ’s from your bed or sofa can become a very awesome reality.

Granted, the sound is never going to sound or feel the same as it does in person.

From my perspective, the healing is still being given with pure loving intention, received by you.

Transformative experiences are very much a part of the online world as they are in person.

Here are my 3 tips for clients to make the most out of an online sound healing session:

#1 Be comfortable. Position yourself sitting or lying down, whatever works for you. Support your body to allow your mind to be comfortable in a softly lit environment that’s comfortable as well.

#2 Turn the world off for an hour. Mute notifications, reminders and alerts. If a friend or family member can’t live without you for an hour, invite them to join the session and community.

#3 Wear headphones. This can be a game-changer to your experience of receiving sound through the WiFi waves. Noise-cancelling headphones seem to be winning with my clients.

During meditation, time and space become an illusion. You can travel to any timeline in multiples realms of existence in this life or another.

The same is true for when your host is holding space for you during your sessions.

My wish for you in our sessions is to provide the same feeling as meeting in person so that the in the moment wisdom is just as present online as it would be in real life.

Not only are the ways in which practitioners delivering their healing sessions online evolving, technology is evolving with the demands of people moving their businesses online.

I recently learned of an acupuncturist treating her clients online, amazing.

After giving and receiving online sessions for a few years, each session, although certainly different to in person, has always been just as profound as if I would have given or received them in person.

Not to mention the fact that you can reach and be reached by wonderful people and healers all over the world that you might not ever meet in person.

As a practitioner the move from in person to online can be overwhelming, where do you even start? Will it be the same? How much will it cost? And so on.

From connecting to your clients to connecting your equipment, here are my top 3 tips for running a quality online sound healing session:

#1 Don’t put pressure on yourself to have it all perfect. Prepare and practice. Accept there will be teething phases, don’t loose faith. Make your online environment as welcoming as your in person one. Don’t be afraid to be in front of the camera. The world needs your gift and will be so happy to be with you.

#2 Equipment. It’s a minefield of tech stuff out there and is where the overwhelm really kicks in. There is no right or wrong way. Go with what works for you, your clients and your budget. Things that I use are:
Condenser mic
Lapel mic
Interface
Headphones
Zoom
Sound settings
Good WiFi

#3 Distance healing intention. Time is a man-made illusion. Understanding this concept, you’ll understand that you can place your mind anywhere at any time on any timeline. Call in your clients and guides and ask permission to work with the energy. Just as you would in person. Intention is everything.

I have written a full blog post about this with links to equipment if you need more information, the link to my blog is in my bio.

Go for it. The world needs what you have to offer.

Online group sessions coming to your living room soon.

With love,
Charlie x

I'm raising my prices.

2020 has been a year of reflection for me and my brand.

When I first started teaching my course I thought I'd teach one maybe two.

Nearly 3 years and 64 students worldwide later, I am still teaching, growing and evolving beyond what I could have expected as a one-woman show.

As a small business, my mission has always been to help people heal and to guide them to their unique gifts and skills to provide the same intention to their worlds until all souls unite as one divine energy.

Why am I increasing my prices?

~ My courses have evolved massively since I first created them and so have I with them.
~ My internationally certified courses get people results. Multiple students go on to find huge success personally and professionally after taking my courses. They are literally life-changing.
~ I am flowing with the demands of the market and industry.
~ I have never had a price increase since starting my business. It's time.
~ I am committed to staying true to my mission and offering the quality you expect and deserve.

This decision has not been taken lightly. From January 2021 my prices will increase.

But wait...

There are still 2 courses left this year at the original price.

So if you've been thinking about and wanting to take my training to fully qualify in becoming a certified Sound Healing Practitioner, the last courses at the current price are:

November in Berkshire.
December in Bristol.

Spaces are limited and both courses already have people on each of them before posting this.

All bookings made before January 2021 will be honoured with the current price, so I highly encourage you to book soon to take advantage of this.

I greatly appreciate your continued business and support through this time of growth and change. Thank you for allowing me to dream and for providing me with a means to make a difference.

Because I believe in the difference we're making.

I can't wait to work with you.

With Love
Charlie x

I haven’t spent much time with my bowls recently and that feels like I haven’t spent much time with myself too. As much as I miss them (even though they’re around me all the time) that’s cool, it’s not forever.

I’ve been distracted by other important life things happening and my routine is out of whack. And that’s cool too.

These last few weeks have been one of the busiest periods I’ve had in a long time.

At times it’s been rather overwhelming, then I let down my guard and got the flu (officially not CV) and didn’t get much time to myself during that either. I don’t get sick often, but the bugs never hang around for long.

Anyway...I’m no different to you, I feel the same kind of emotions that everyone else feels, the difference is that I’ve learnt how to control my emotions through awareness and being open to change patterns. I don’t allow it to control me, I control it.

My kind of stress is a good stress. I enjoy working under pressure, it focuses me and makes me get things done pretty effectively, I think. I like that feeling.

Times get busy and crazy and overwhelming and it’s all totally cool.

Most of the time there is nothing we can do to change the situations and circumstances, but we can always control our own minds and the way we react to them.

Breathe deep, deeper still.
Catch up with yourself and c h i l l .

Did I just unintentionally bust a rhyme??

Something I like to tell myself is:
“I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am happy.
I am healthy.
I am loved.”

Never underestimate the power of the I am presence.

It all works out in the end and it could always be worse.

Healing doesn’t have to be what somebody tells you their opinion of it is. Professional or not. It doesn’t have to be spiritual. It doesn’t have to be a bunch of words and phrases you’ve never heard of that aren’t explained to you to help you understand. Healing is found in so many things that go beyond healing practices. I find healing throughout my days in conversations, food, time. In movement and stillness. Solo in the heart of nature and togetherness in a loved ones nurturing arms. Healing has different meanings to different people because we are all different. How many more times can I say different? Diff.Er.Ent. We discover our own healing abilities in our awareness of each moment and what purpose it serves for us.

Even though sound is scientifically measurable and more research is being produced on how sound waves can impact the human form, I don’t rely on sound for healing. I use sound as a portal to my healing. To guide me to a place that only I can go. To show me what work I have to do for my healing to unfold. Sound and healing portals merge with me until I become the portal of my own healing. It’s really rather special to connect sound to healing and have them work in harmony.

Sound is one element. Healing is another. When used effectively together, the possibilities are endless. You are both sound and healing. Where and how you find your healing is perfect because it’s about you. And that’s all that matters.
