Fantastic Car Boot Sale August 5th 2012
I love nothing more than going to the local car boot sale, some weeks end up with lots of items, some weeks nothing. Last few weeks I have been very lucky and today was no exception. There were 2 seperate sellers selling lots of Spiritual items very cheap and ended up with loads of books, few CDs, couple of Buddha Status plus some extra special items. A lovely Unicorn wall / bed throw, Tarot set which includes book, set of cards and DVD for £2 and a Colour healing set for £1. What with all these books I now have and having also just discovered the brilliant spiritual section in the local libruary think I will be reading for the next 100 years!!!

Barefoot Festival 27 -29th July 2012.
This is my first blog in over a week, got home from festival week today and its taken me until now to recover enough to put finger to keyboard!! Barefoot Festival was my first ever festival and also my first experience of camping so bought tent etc and by buying on the cheap made some errors as explain later. Left home on the Friday for the 2 hour car journey thou unfortunatly got delayed in traffic due to a horrible accident on the M1 with 2 lorries colliding. Still made it to the festival in plenty of time and what can I say it was better than i could have dared hope for and the weather was so beautiful, lovely and sunny, sat outside tent much of the time getting a tan and chilling. Its so hard to explain what the festival is so this information from their website can explain much better than me.
Barefoot Festival takes place in the sumptuous grounds of Prestwold Hall, Leicestershire –Middle England.
Now in our 7th year, this unique and family friendly little gathering just keeps getting better and better!
This is the Festival where YOU are the headliner!
A fabulous feast for your senses, fun, frolics and mayhem!
Get yourself moving with workshops in Belly Dance, Flamenco, African Dance, Yoga, French Can Can, Lindy Hop & Jive, Tai Chi, Trapeze and Aerial, Capoeira, Martial Arts, Meditation, Reiki, Drumming Circles, Circus Skills, Burlesque and much more…
We have live shows and entertainment running the whole week end with great Bands and musicians, singers and comedians, Can Can Dancers, exotic Belly Dancers, street style magic performance and our wonderfully popular Barefoot Busk Stops!
We’ll also be running arts and craft workshops with ample opportunity to communal art projects running throughout the week end.
For the kids, entertainment this year is organised by the fantastic
Angel Gardens who will create a specially dedicated Children’s Zone with crafts, workshops, entertainment, face painting and more..
Come celebrate “The Good Old Days!” - There will be a Vintage Beauty Salon, an indoor and outdoor Vintage Market, dance classes - Jive, Lindy Hop, Rock and Roll and Charleston, a Vintage cafe & Pimms tent, a make-do and-mend style craft room, Burlesque Show, Vintage Bands and jukebox, classic car display, a Great British Outdoor style camping area and more TBC.
Barefoot is all about getting back to basics, getting grass in between your toes and taking time out from the pressures of modern life! Try something you’ve never done before, spend quality time with the family, meet like minded new friends.
You won’t find big fancy sponsors at Barefoot, we’re a grassroots community gathering and all profits are ploughed right back into improving the facilities at the festival. Relax, rewind and refresh yourself with a week end in the beautiful Great British countryside!
Hope you can join us this year, dancing Barefoot in the sunshine!
Come and be blissed out!
Next day we just relaxed, lovely and sunny again and enjoyed a sound bath ( I love singing Bowls) and also a heavenly foot massage. Relaxed and chilled were the key words, had a brilliant weekend, bought a few goodies and will definalty go again - with a better tent next time!!

What struck me about the festival was how friendly everyone was, not one crossed word, everyone willing to help everyone else, was a real sense of community. Late friday afternoon myself and Sasha who i went with had a good look around all the stalls and really get to know all the people. In the evening drinks were being served from a vintage double decker bus, we sat outside having drink or 3 and watching the Burlesque show - very nice!!!!
That evening the temperature really dropped. After the show we went around the camp fire played drums and talked was such a wonderful way to finish the day. Both exhausted thought we get to sleep straight away but we both had single skin tents and being so cold with thick condensation in the tents neither of us were able to sleep a wink the entire night.

Reiki Level 1
I have had 5 or 6 Reiki treatments, the first time I was persuaded to give it a try thou at back of my mind was thinking I much rather spend the money on a massage! How wrong I was, by end of the Reiki treatment I was so relaxed much more than a massage that when I got home had to lie down for couple of hours I was so tired.
I have been fascinated with Reiki for a long time and last week I did a Reiki level 1 course which explained the theory and during the day was given 4 attunements which were amazing, each time the energy I felt was amazing no words could explain and by the 4th I was so tired but in a good way. What I really loved about doing this course was the teaching was based on the original Japanesse method not the Western style which I personally believe made it more powerful.
After my final attunement I did a full treatment on the teacher and starting with a body scan was able to pick up something which again was wonderful for me feel that energy at work and doing the treatment on someone else feeling the energy flow through me was an amazing experience. The day ended with me having a short treatment and getting a certificate. That night was so relaxed slept for 10 hours!
Since then I have been doing Reiki on myself daily which has helped ease my daily stress and generally feel more at calm and at peace than before.
A brief summary of Reiki level 1
Reiki Level 1 begins with an initiation or attunement process.
This process opens you to the Reiki Healing Energy.
Once you are attuned to Reiki 1 you can then channel the Reiki Energy (Universal Life Force).
When I say channeling I mean bringing this light energy into your physical body and then being able to transfer this energy to others. The energy enters through the crown chakra, it then goes to the heart chakra and then out through your hands, via the palm chakras.
What is an initiation/attunement?
During the attunement process the Reiki Master helps you open your chakras so that you can receive Reiki and use this energy to heal yourself and others.
Reiki Level 1 is the first step. With Reiki 1 you can send healing energy to all living things.
You can help others to heal themselves.
Reiki to me feels like the ultimate Unconditional Love. It is very powerful. After the attunement things just seem clearer.
Through Reiki you can heal on all levels..Mind Body and Emotions. Physical, Emotional and Spiritual.
It is a hands on method of healing. You can also heal someone in their aura if they do not wish to be touched.
I am so glad I did this course and now hope to do Level 2 probably early next year.

Body Chakras And Meditation.
I attempted meditation a few times with limited success until I attended a Chakra meditation class and since then I have developed so much spiritually thanks not only to being able to meditate but by understanding the chakras. By learning about the body chakras and what each one represented I could see which areas I needed to work on as one chakra especially was blocked which effected so much of my own life. Spending much time working on that chakra it has helped me overcome problems in my own life.
Its so very important to learn and work on your chakras, I attend the 8 week chakra meditation class each term and each meditation I get something new out of it.
Below I have copied a basic Chakra meditation which is ideal for beginners, there are many Chakra guided meditaton CDs worth listening to thou if you fortunate like me join a class as you cant beat a group atmosphere and being able to share your experiences.
Its so very important to learn and work on your chakras, I attend the 8 week chakra meditation class each term and each meditation I get something new out of it.
Sit on the floor cross-legged, close your eyes, breathe slowly and steadily, focus your energy in the following chakras - starting with the root and silently say:
1 red ~ I am safe. Breathe ~
2 orange ~ I relate to others with ease. Breathe ~
3 yellow ~ I stand in my unique power. Breathe ~
... 4 green ~ I practice unconditional love and
non-judgment. Breathe ~
5 sky blue ~ I express my truth. Breathe ~
6 indigo blue ~ I see situations exactly as they are. Breathe ~
7 violet ~ I am connected to and cared for by the Divine all days in all ways. Breathe ~
This simple method can last as little as 10 minutes, or as long as you would like to focus on each chakra.
As you say each mantra, visualize the corresponding color in your mind and body as glowing, pure, bright, and enlarging.
Your energy field is constantly changing which is why it is so important to be aware of the state of all of your chakras. All chakras can be in balance and something can then cause a few to close or turn counter clockwise. Become familiar with each of these seven main chakras.
