Our Angel Baby in the Stars

Product Information

My family, in particular my mum who is a holistic practitioner herself, raised me on spiritual beliefs. This has kept me grounded and instilled a deep trust in the universe from a young age. I also lived in Asia for much of my childhood and so it’s no surprise that this method of energy healing which originates from Japan came very naturally to me. The link is below for anyone that would like to donate. No matter the amount, any donation is greatly appreciated.

Reiki is a form of energy healing. It works with energy inherent in the body and all around us, since everything in the universe is made up of energy (a scientific fact!). Reiki supports balance in our chakras; a system of seven primary energy centres. ‘Chakra’ means a centre or wheel of energy, as translated from Sanskrit. The chakras govern all aspects of our physical, mental and emotional health. Imbalances in the chakra can manifest as everything from physical discomfort, pain or illness to mental and emotional struggles to insomnia. Conversely, the sharpest annual falls in construction materials prices in the year to July 2023 were in steel-related products such as fabricated structural steel and rebar plus timber-related products such as imported softwood , plywood (-21.3%) and particle board (Chart 4). Between 7-9 hours’ sleep each night is recommended for an adult. In the UK, we linger below the threshold, sleeping an average of 6hr48 per night. Clearly, there’s room for improvement! Although the descent into sleep is a very gradual process, the average good-sleeper falls asleep in a quarter of an hour. An avid dancer throughout my teens, I started yoga and soon developed a consistent practice. I found yoga to be a powerful means of bringing balance to my mind and body and of connecting inwardly, and so trained as a yoga teacher in 2018. Amazingly, this can take place face-to-face or can be done remotely. Reiki takes us out of the ‘fight or flight’ response into the ‘rest and digest’ state. It is deeply relaxing and can be used to induce a restful night’s sleep.Meditation and breathwork are other mindful practices which, like yoga, promote inward connection. Meditation trains us to achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm and stable state. Breathwork refers to when we are conscious of our breath and use it to influence our wellbeing. In its simplest form, taking deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth repeatedly. Both help us to enter a state that is more conducive for sleep. The Insight Timer app and the Calm app are some of the best resources I have found for guided meditations which often incorporate breath and are designed for sleep.

A Reiki practitioner acts as a channel of universal energy, using light touch and intention to restore balance in an individual’s chakras. Thereby helping to restore vitality. Almost 20% of adults say they turn to alcohol to help them sleep (UK Sleep Census), but this does in fact make our sleep more disturbed. While it might help you to fall asleep it actually worsens the quality of our sleep, hampering the benefits of sleep. It is one of the many reasons we feel rubbish after consuming an excess of alcohol. I advocate doing some restorativeyoga before bedtime. The ideal evening unwind, whether a 5/10 minute stretch or a full hour-long practice. Short on time? Simply lie on the ground with your legs up the wall which is incredibly grounding.

After years practicing yoga, I started to do more inner work, exploring and deepening my spirituality, and felt called to explore holistic therapies. Being a Reiki Practitioner, it is my go-to method to aid sleep. Anyone can receive or learn Reiki. You can practise Reiki on yourself and on others. Many people I work with opt for distance Reiki at bedtime for this purpose. Done remotely, they can relax in the comfort of their own bed and drift off uninterrupted. Bliss.

Avoid screen time light at night, in particular phone time which is overstimulating for our brains. Set an alarm an hour before bedtime to remind yourself to disconnect from your phone. I have banished the TV from my bedroom to rid the temptation of more screen time. I tend to light a candle or burn essential oils or incense to cleanse the space before settling in for the night. I imagine shedding any busyness of the day and welcome in a slower state for rest. The use of essential oils, referred to as Aromatherapy, is an effective way to encourage relaxation as it quietens the mind and cocoons the senses. Paula had also very recently written and published a book to help families explain miscarriage to young children. If you or your family has been impacted by miscarriage, this may be a helpful resource: https://lnkd.in/gEnf4wqS #fundraising Listening to music for sleep is something I do most nights as I climb into bed. I have a curated playlist, SLEEP by Halo Reikifor this purpose. On Spotify you can set a ‘sleep timer’ so that the music automatically stops playing after a set length of time. Alternatively, Insight Timer, the #1 free app for meditation and sleep, has an endless array of beautiful sleep meditations and music to choose from. 2) Reduce your alcohol intake I feel that the amount of misinformation circulating about the architecture industry is a huge problem and, quite frankly, infuriating.Freedom from others judgement and society’s expectations - connected me with my purpose and enabled me to pursue soul-aligned work through Halo Reiki Healing! Holistic therapies such as Reflexology, Acupuncture and Reiki look to treat the body as a whole, rather than focusing on a singular symptom or origin of pain. A common benefit people report from such treatment is improved sleep. A good night’s sleep is a wonderful thing. Why? It makes us healthier, happier beings! It is the body’s opportunity to rebalance. When wesleep, our body is able to repair and heals itself:

It is more than a year on from the spike in energy, commodity and materials prices so it is unsurprising that the annual % change in construction materials prices is now falling, and at a faster rate than in June (-2.0%), given that they are coming from a high base last Summer (when construction materials inflation peaked at 26.8%).

Many people in my network may know Paula through her work as a talented account lead at many fantastic Manchester agencies over the years, or through her time at Lancaster University.Whilst the construction materials annual inflation rate is now falling, however, prices remain at historically high levels and in July 2023 construction materials prices were 41.1% higher than in January 2020, pre-pandemic (Chart 2). This continues to have cost implications for construction projects, in particular smaller sub-contractors that signed up to, or started projects, more than 18 months ago and it has major implications for essential programmes that needed to occur years ago but were delayed due to political short-termism and near-term cost-saving.
