Simple Practices

Busy days can leave us feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. The good news? You don’t need hours of meditation or a wellness retreat to restore balance. Just five minutes of intentional pause can help you reset, calm your mind, and feel more grounded.

Here are five simple practices you can use anytime, anywhere, even at your desk, to bring yourself back to centre.

 

1. Hand-on-Heart Breathing

Place one hand gently on your heart, the other on your belly.

• Close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths.

• Notice the rise and fall of your chest and stomach, letting your breath anchor you.

This acts as a quick reset that brings you back into your body and out of racing thoughts.

 

2. Grounding Through the Feet

Sit or stand with both feet firmly on the ground.

• Imagine roots (like that of a tree) extending from your feet deep into the earth, anchoring you.

• Take a few slow breaths, focusing on the sensation of stability beneath you.

This can bring an instant sense of strength and steadiness, especially helpful before stressful conversations or meetings.

 

3. Destress Sweep

• Hold your hands a few inches above your head.

• Slowly sweep them down your body, as if brushing away invisible tension.

• Visualize stress and worry being swept away as you move from head to toe.

• Imagine it then flowing from your toes, into the ground to be transmuted.

This aims to calm and assist in clearing mental clutter in minutes.

 

4. Solar Plexus Confidence Boost

• Place your hands just above your navel (solar plexus area).

• Breathe deeply and imagine a warm golden light expanding outward.

• Repeat silently: “I am capable. I am calm. I am confident.”

This is a quick boost of empowerment, especially when feeling anxiety or overwhelm.

 

 5. Gratitude Pause

• Place your hands together, as if in a prayer position at your heart.

• Silently thank yourself for pausing, for showing up, connecting with yourself, and for being present.

• Think of one thing you’re grateful for right now.

This aims to create a shift from stress to appreciation, helping you carry positivity into the rest of your day.

 

These five-minute practices are simple yet affective, powerful ways to ground yourself during busy days.

Embrace the small pauses where you reconnect with your energy and mindset.

If you find yourself struggling with deeper patterns of overwhelm or fear, holistic approaches like Reiki and Sound therapy may help restore harmony, while hypnotherapy aims to gently reprogram limiting beliefs. Together, they offer a pathway to lasting calm, confidence, and clarity.

Imagine carrying this sense of calm into every area of your life, that’s the gift of combining practical grounding with deeper healing work.

The Vital Role of Compassion and Kindness in Reiki: Nurturing the Heart of Healing

As a Reiki Master Practitioner I embrace a heart centred approach to my work and day to day practices. Upon becoming a Reiki Master, things changed dramatically for me.  What was once about actually doing Reiki became more about embodying Reiki and truly embracing Reiki in my everyday life.

I have become increasingly aware of and am in awe of the positive changes in my life. While my life had its own meaning before, it now holds a much deeper significance. Embracing kindness and compassion has brought beauty into my daily existence, creating a ripple effect that impacts those around me, much like throwing a pebble into a sea.

Through working with Reiki, we often focus on the flow of energy, the subtle attunements and the profound impact this may have on our physical well-being. However, at the core of this therapeutic practice is a principle that transcends the mere mechanics of healing: the principle of compassion and kindness.

As masters, practitioners, and recipients of Reiki, we are not just dealing with the energy that permeates through all living things; we are engaging with the very essence of the human experience. Love, after all, is the highest frequency of vibration, and it is within this vibration that Reiki finds its truest power.

Compassion and kindness are not simply moral virtues to be applied in our interactions with others; they are fundamental frequencies that tune the heart to resonate with the universe’s symphony of healing. A Reiki practitioner who embodies these qualities does not merely channel energy; they become a vessel of the universe's unconditional love.
