Welcome

Welcome to the October Edition This month’s cover by Colette Langton is a close up of seaweed called Bladderwrack, the little air sacks in the leaves help keep the plant afloat so that it can receive sunlight. Apparently the plant is edible though as it supposed to taste like salty fish I’m not sure how nice it would be. Our regular appeal for local groups and individuals to send in articles for inclusion in the magazine must now be extended to include local photographs as once again we have a super example for you on page 57, keep the pictures coming, they are a welcome and colourful addition to the magazine. Last month I was lucky enough to get a place on a yacht sailing from Chichester Harbour to Brighton Marina, with the Sail Boat Project (www.sailboatproject.org), their aim is ‘to widen access to The UK’s nearest wilderness - the sea…’, if you are part of a community group and feel like a bit of an adventure I highly recommend getting in touch with them. Have a great month. Sam - Editor

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 109

5 Reasons why computers fail Computer’s fail and 9 times out of 10 that failure will happen at the worst time. How do they know? We can’t answer that, but we can offer 5 reasons why they stop working. Hard Drive Failure: Hard drives can fail at any time – we have had them fail straight out of the box and also known people whose hard drive has lasted for many years. This is where your data is stored on your computer so when this fails if you don’t have an up to date backup you could lose everything. Power Surges: Something as natural as a thunder storm can cause a power surge which can seriously mess with your computer. From the charger to the motherboard, a sudden increase in power could cause your computer to fail. Heat: You’d think the name “laptop” would mean that you could sit comfortably with your portable computer on your, er, lap, but you need to be careful about it overheating. Tempting as it is to have a cushion under your laptop or to use in whilst

propped up in bed, a laptop can easily overheat and stop working. Desktop’s too can overheat so make sure they have some ventilation. Virus: From just making you computer slow, to making it impossible to get passed silly little popups through to rendering your computer fully inoperable, viruses are not going to go away. A good anti-virus will help you stay protected and will ask you if you really want to open that link/visit that website. No software will keep you 100% safe, so you need to be extra vigilant when online or reading emails. Old Age: We think the record for one of our customer’s elderly computers was 10 years – positively ancient in terms of technology. Most desktops are “expected” to last 3 – 5 years, and laptops less than this, but the older the system the more likely it will be to become slower, less reliable and will, we’re afraid, one day just give up completely.

Clifden House News

10 Things You Need To Know About dementia Nial Joyce, of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford 1. Dementia itself is not a disease – it’s actually caused by lots of different diseases. The word ‘dementia’ is just an umbrella term for the symptoms caused by these diseases such as memory loss, confusion and personality change. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause but other dementias include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia. 2. Dementia is not an inevitable part of getting older – while it’s true that the majority of people with dementia are over 65, the condition is not a normal part of getting older. The likelihood of developing dementia rises with age, but it’s not a given that an older person will develop it. In the UK over 40,000 people under 65 have dementia. 3. Dementia is more than just memory loss – the condition affects people in a wide variety of ways. That might include changes in behaviour, confusion, disorientation, delusions, difficulty communicating, problems judging speeds and distances and even cravings for particular foods. 4. It’s possible to live an independent and active life with dementia – there are many people in the UK who are facing dementia head on and developing support mechanisms and strategies to live as well as possible with the condition. That includes anything from taking up new hobbies to making new friends or taking part in research.

largest increases in dementia expected over the next 20 years are in places like China, India and Sub-Saharan Africa. Dementia is a truly global health issue, affecting 46.8 million people worldwide. 7. Dementia doesn’t discriminate – dementia is a condition that can affect anyone regardless of background, education, lifestyle or status. 8. There are no treatments to stop the diseases that cause dementia – while some treatments can help people to live with their symptoms a little better, there are no treatments that slow or stop diseases like Alzheimer’s. This means that the diseases will continue to get worse over time unless new treatments can be found quickly. 9. Investment in dementia research is still low – despite a welcome government focus on dementia, research into the condition still only receives around three per cent of the government’s medical research budget. Raising investment in dementia research will help to drive forward much-needed progress towards a cure. 10. Finding the right specialist dementia care home for a loved one is often a stressful process. Clifden House dementia centre understand this. If you need advice, or just need to talk to one of our experts, we’re always happy to listen and help. email: office@clifdenhouse.co.uk. T: 01323 896460

5. Dementia has a bigger impact on women – with more women living well into their 80s, half a million women in the UK are now living with dementia. The condition is the leading cause of death in women in the UK. Women are also more likely to take on unpaid caring roles for other people with dementia and are twice as likely as men to provide intensive, 24-hour care. 6. Dementia is a global issue – it’s a common myth that dementia is only an issue in the western world. The If you have a local article to publish email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Local Yoga Teacher

The Benefits of Pregnancy Yoga Local yoga teacher, Heather Deaville from www.deavilleyoga.com has launched a new yoga class for pregnant mums here in The Deans. A pre and post-natal yoga specialist Heather has been teaching pregnancy yoga in Hove for years and on moving to Saltdean was keen to start a class here. Having taught whilst pregnant she has experienced the benefits herself and and got in touch to tell us more. “I first got really into yoga when I was pregnant with my first child. I found it gave me some much needed time out from my hectic lifestyle to focus on myself, my baby and my changing body.” Heather was so inspired by how much it helped her during her pregnancy that she trained as a yoga teacher and went on to specialise in pre and post-natal yoga. As well as some much needed time out Heather told us “Pregnancy Yoga is specifically designed to support you both physically and mentally during this huge period of change. In class I aim to help my students maintain, and even improve their overall health, stretch out achy muscles, relieve tension, gain strength and also practice breathing and movement techniques that will be useful during labour.” Is it safe for everyone to practice? “As with every form of pregnancy exercise, you should ensure that your teacher is specifically trained to teach pre-natal/pregnancy exercise. A knowledgeable teacher should be able to adjust and advise alternative postures so that students with a range of pregnancy related issues can still practice safely and enjoy all the benefits this amazing practice has to offer.” Heather is teaching Pregnancy Yoga every Monday evening, 6.15-7.15pm at St Martins Hall on Longridge Avenue in Saltdean. She provides all the equipment you need the class is suitable for pregnant women after their 12 week scan. A trial class is just £5. For more information please visit www.deavilleyoga.com/pregnancy-yoga-saltdean or call Heather on 07974 250207.

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Gardening Injuries At this time of year the gardeners amongst you are probably busy preparing your gardens for the autumn and winter months. If you are doing this frantically and under time pressure you may be a risk of injuring or straining your body. Each task in the garden can risk affecting various parts of your body if you are not mindful of how you use it; and you may not notice until the next day when the strain makes itself known. If the injury is obvious like cutting yourself badly, then you need to call 999! LOW BACK Digging: Good posture is crucial with all tasks, and especially with digging; many of you are digging your vegetable patches currently. Digging with a poor posture, too hunched over, for too long or with loads that are too heavy can put strain on the low back. This area is particularly at risk if you are digging up a heavy load, then twisting to place it elsewhere, especially when doing this repeatedly for an extended time. Weeding and Pulling: Wrestling with those thick roots and having added determination to get them out and particularly in a time frame, e.g. before dark, can place undue strain on your low back; it is usually the one that you don’t want to get away that puts the strain in your back. Lifting and Carrying: Incorrect technique when lifting and carrying as well as lifting too much weight or continuing for too long without a rest can all put too much strain on your low back. NECK AND SHOULDERS Cutting Hedges or Trees: Holding your arms above your head for a length of time can put strain on your neck and shoulders, especially if holding a heavy cutting tool, which you do not want to drop, especially if it is electrical! Weeding and Pulling: Depending on the angle you are pulling at and the strength you need to pull, this can put a strain on your neck; once again it’s the one that you don’t want to get away that puts the strain in your neck and shoulders. Lifting and Carrying: Incorrect technique when lifting and carrying as well as lifting too much weight or continuing for too long without a rest can all put too much strain on your neck and shoulders.

This can put a strain on the joints as tight muscles pull on the tendons where the muscle attaches to the bone. KNEES AND HIPS Weeding: Kneeling for weeding can put pressure and stress on the knee joints. Digging and Weeding: Twisting the knee can put a strain on the joint, particularly when done repeatedly. FEET AND ANKLES Digging: The repeated pressure on your foot on a spade if digging in hard ground, and especially if you are not accustomed to this activity can cause tenderness across the foot and perhaps into the calf if the pressure has required some power. TIPS Learn good posture and stretching; keep mindful of your body and any limitations you have; pace yourself especially when you are getting tired; take breaks to allow your muscles to regain their power; if it is too much then ask someone to help you; if your aches and stiffness persists we are happy to help you with treatment of the relevant areas as well as tips and advice to help you staying active to do the things you love doing, while looking after your body. People who usually lift well are weight lifters, very young children and those who have learnt from having a bad back. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation. Lin Bridgeford DO KFRP MICAK MICRA FSCCO MSc Registered Osteopath & Kinesiologist & Yoga Teacher Aether Bios Clinic Saltdean 01273 309557 07710 227038 www.osteo-info.co.uk www.biosyoga.co.uk https://linbridgeford.wordpress.com contains all my articles as blogs

WRISTS AND HANDS Weeding, pulling, and lifting: Doing this at awkward angles can all put a strain on your wrists and hands. Using tools such as garden shears and secateurs where you are repeatedly opening and closing the blades can also put strain on the wrists and hands. ELBOWS AND FOREARMS Gripping Tools and Heavy Weights, including Digging, Weeding and Pulling, Lifting and Carrying: The arm muscles work hard to deal with the physical stress of heavy loads and gripping as well as operating tools. When the activity is prolonged, the muscles can tighten or get tired and weaken.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve The UK’s Big Butterfly Count took place between 20�� July and 12�� August with members of the public encouraged to go out counting and reporting the numbers of butterflies they saw in their local area. The results are then put into a database where comparisons can be made between areas up and down the country. 2018 results are still being analysed but below is a chart that shows the national count for 2017 alongside Beacon Hill count for 2018. It’s interesting to compare the breeds found nationally alongside those locally.

We meet 2ⁿ� Wednesday and 4�� Friday of each month at 10AM at the Beacon Hub Cafe Kiosk. Tools are provided but please wear sturdy shoes/boots/gloves. If you would like further information we can be found at :E-mail : FOBeaconHill@gmail.com Telephone : 01273 983000 Facebook : www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

Left: Common Blue Butterfly Below: Small Heath Butterfly

The statistics are from a 3-week period only so clearly the final numbers accumulated throughout the whole of this glorious summer will be much higher. The full count will be available in the Beacon Hill Local Nature Reserve Annual Report out later this year. Data and photographs supplied by Peter Whitcomb. Now that summer is behind us we will be concentrating on the clearing the bramble and hawthorn from the Nature Reserve. The sheep will be on the hill until end of November, hopefully eating the grass so we have a clear reach down to the roots of the scrub. Come and join us for some scrub bashing fun.

Local history - Article 77

Mike Laslett

Hillside

Rottingdean has always earnt its living from the land rather than the sea. The four major farmhouses were Hillside, Challoners, Down House and Court House. Hillside may be found opposite the Kipling Gardens and was the farmhouse for West Side Farm, which extended as far as Black Rock. Hillside, formerly called Harris’s, was a timber framed farmhouse. We know that Richard Beard lived there in 1600 and that his family had already been in the area for four generations, as his great-great grandfather was buried in Rottingdean in 1490. His brother George lived at nearby Down House, as we are reminded by the initials ‘GBA’ 1619 on that house.

Copyhold land had to be left to the youngest, rather the eldest, son so in 1648 Richard left the house to his youngest son Nicholas (1616 -1702). As a Quaker Nicholas defied the establishment for his beliefs which resulted in some terms of imprisonment. In 1661 he purchased land in the village for a Quaker burial ground. In 1702 he married Susannah who bore him 20 children of whom 15 survived to adulthood. The youngest, Daniel, inherited and Nicholas required him in his will to “entertain Friends in Truth and let them have meetings in my house as freely as when I lived to serve and worship God.” So, even after Nicholas’s death, Hillside continued to be used for Quaker meetings. The congenial atmosphere is unchanged today and the current owner holds regular meditation sessions. Daniel (1672 -1738) and his wife Susannah greatly improved Hillside, refronting it with the fine brick and Tuscan porch that you see now. Note their initials ‘DBS’ over the porch and the Sun Insurance mark which bears their policy number, indicating that they had insured the premises. See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

Many changes were made to the property over the years, which has led to some unusual changes of levels and many unexplained features around fireplaces and doors. Fortunately, the beautifully mellow original stone floors have survived, enhancing the period character of the house. The barns to the south were sold to form ‘Timbers,’ while the barn at the rear of the property has been beautifully restored for social occasions.

Above(top): Intitials ‘DBS’ and Sun Insurance mark Bottom: Rear of Hillside

41 Daniel was succeeded by Nathaniel (1720-1780) then by Thomas (1767â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1847.) His initials can be found carved in the Windmill which he had erected in 1802. In the rear garden, steep steps lead up to a gazebo built in 1822, the year that the Falmer Road to Lewes opened, enabling approaching coaches to come into view! This gazebo also made a writing retreat, which was doubtless used by members of the Burne Jones family and Enid Bagnold. By contrast steep steps lead down to extensive cellars below the house. These have a walled-up tunnel which would have connected via other properties to the beach for smuggling purposes. Cellars

On Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, his three spinster sisters Mary, Susannah and Matilda continued to occupy the house. At this time his brother Charles occupied Down House and later Challoners. Matilda did not die until 1889 aged 84 by which time Steyning Beard had died so Hillside was inherited by his son Steyning, who squandered the family fortunes. He immediately mortgaged Hillside to settle his debts, using Down House as the Manor House.

He installed Colonel Phillips and his family as tenants. Later tenants included the actor Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Having lost the Beard family fortune, Steyning was obviously unable to maintain the mortgage repayments, for it was the mortgagors who sold Hillside in 1910 to Admiral Henry Clarke. Today the property is beautifully maintained by Nicky Lloyd Owen and her husband David Boys, to whom I am greatly indebted for their hospitality.

Local Author

New Saltdean Book It is 33 years since local author Douglas d'Enno wrote his comprehensive history of Saltdean. Long out of print, the book is hard to find and can command a high price. Fortunately, the author continued to build up his collection of cuttings, articles and photographs of the area and has presented the finest images from his collection in his new book, Saltdean from Old Photographs. The pictures displayed number some 240 and, despite the title of the book, some carefully selected very recent images have also been included.

A surprising story is the death (almost certainly suicide) in Nutley Avenue of the ex-Duchess of Leinster in the 1930s. The book ends on an optimistic note, with the restoration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the second time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of the downland memorial Harvey's Cross in July of this year. From its beautiful location, much of West Saltdean, with the sea beyond, can be seen. Saltdean from Old Photographs is available from selected local outlets and online.

This fascinating volume has been structured to reflect the development of this seaside suburb over the last century, with the emphasis, not unexpectedly, on the inter-war years. In the earlier part of the book, there is a brief pictorial survey of Saltdean as a remote and sometimes forbidding location. This corner of Sussex has been a graveyard of ships down the years while the desolate foreshore was attractive to smugglers. As in more recent times, swimming was enjoyed by occasional visitors although the year 1912 saw the tragic drowning of four young men from a Mission Church in Battersea. Inland, hunting was enjoyed, as was target practice by members of Rudyard Kipling's Rifle Club. For centuries, the land was farmed from Rottingdean. Indeed, the handful of buildings in the area other than coastguard dwellings were a couple of stone cottages and three barns, two of which have survived following skilful conversion into a nursery school and a private dwelling respectively. One page rightly focuses on the founder of Peacehaven and Saltdean as we know them today, namely Charles Neville. Interesting new information has come to light concerning his family and commercial activities. It was through his entrepreneurial drive that the two buildings for which Saltdean is best known, namely the Lido and Ocean Hotel, came into being. Of course virtually all the residential development in the area was the work of his hand. In one section, the spotlight is cast on the war years, when both those buildings were put to good use. In the decades which followed, the community now familiar to us gradually developed. A number of dramatic images also depict events in this area, such as the overwhelming snowfall in 1966 and the damage wrought by the Great Gale of 1987. Celebrities are also rightly included; among their number were George Robey, Max Wall, Will Fyffe and GH Elliott.

Cinema Saltdean

Finding Your Feet Every once in a while, a film comes along that we can all relate to. ‘Finding Your Feet’ does what it says on the tin and does it “in spades”. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as this film rolls along. The cast, expertly led by the fantastic Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge in the ‘Harry Potter’ films; Vera in ‘Vera Drake’), with Timothy Spall (‘Mr. Turner’), Celia Imrie (‘Best Exotic Marigold’) and John Sessions (Dr. Hermann in ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’), to name but a few. A local police commissioner is retiring and his wife Sandra (Imelda Staunton) holds a glamorous party, hoping that her husband will be bestowed with a knighthood and she will become a Lady. But, as with all good storylines, things don’t quite work out. During the party, Sandra goes in search of her husband Mike (John Sessions) and finds him in the garage, in a passionate embrace with her best friend of 10 years, Pamela (Josie Lawrence). Everything that Sandra ever dreamed of, comes crashing down. She leaves her husband and seeks refuge with her estranged older sister Bif (Celia Imrie).

Cert: 12

and three buckets We know how to have fun in Saltdean! Next month: ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’ (12A). And, no, before you ask: it wasn’t chosen by flinging potato peelings around the hall … Look out next month for an exciting announcement about our December annual charity screening, which, this year, will be on Tuesday 11�� December, at 7.30pm (something about the volunteers wanting Christmas Day off). Have a think about who wrote ‘The Barber of Seville’ and the ‘William Tell Overture’, which was used, years ago, as the theme to TV’s ‘The Lone Ranger’. (You know: it’s the one that goes ‘diddle-um, diddle-um, diddly-um-pum-pum, diddleum, diddle-um, diddly-um-pum-pum’ ) Even then, you still might not guess what we’re screening, although there will be a BIG clue in the newspaper! If you can’t wait until next month to find out, you can have a peek at our website www.cinemasaltdean.org and there’s a link to the ticketing site from there. We’re also on FB. Linda (techie & publicity volunteer)

The two couldn’t be more different – Sandra is a fish out of water, next to her outspoken, serial-dating, free-spirited sibling. But different is just what Sandra needs at the moment, and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to a community dance class, where she starts finding her feet. A scene-stealing Jackie (Joanna Lumley), leads an amateur dance troupe. It’s here that Sandra meets fellow dancers Charlie and Ted (Timothy Spall and David Hayman). A romantic comedy, fronted by lead actors that nobody would mistake for matinee idols, this selfaware heart-tugger manages to make even rickety old clichés about ‘taking a leap of faith’ easily digestible. This is comfort food for the young at heart. Richard Loncraine’s movie is as cosy as old slippers and as familiar as the British actors who populate its London locations. Anthony (Cinema Saltdean programming team volunteer) ‘Finding Your Feet’ was selected by the audience after our July screening, by a democratic process involving three film trailers, around 100 orange ping pong balls If you have a local article to publish email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions Latest News This month we look back at our busy summer season of fundraising, and we also make a request for seniors that may be interested in joining us for our future Christmas lunches. Please don’t forget that this month on 20�� October, the popular in house band of Blind Veterans UK, The White Stix, will be performing for us at Rottingdean Village Hall, monies raised will be shared with Blind Veterans UK with the Lions half going to local charities and community/Lions projects. Tickets are £10 each in advance and are available now or £12 on the door, if available. There will be a licensed bar. It should be a lively evening with this well-known, much loved, local group playing popular music from across the decades.. We hope you can join us. If you would like some tickets please ring mobile number 07932458071. Also, on 18�� November we have our popular Sponsored Swim at Roedean school pool. The swim is held annually to raise money for local charities. Groups, through entered teams of any size, raise funds by obtaining sponsorship with the proceeds being split between their own choice of charity or good cause and Lions’ charities; once again this year the Lions’ principal beneficiary will be Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice. Teams swim for one hour with the aim of swimming as many sponsored lengths as possible. Please make contact soon if you would like to enter a team as we already have quite a few teams entered. The deadline for entries is Friday 9�� November, but we ask if you could notify us as soon as you can if it is your intention to enter. The timings for the swims are throughout the morning from 10 am. Full details will be sent on application.

After another busy summer season for us, we are taking stock of our wide ranging fundraising activities. From our Fayre at Rottingdean Village Green, the annual Lions Gala at Saltdean Oval, our bar and barbeque at the Rottingdean Village Fair and of course the bar we provide for the Armed Forces Day at Blind Veterans UK. These days mainly involve early starts and late finishes for the Lions involved. Putting up marquees and taking them down again at the end of the day needs helping hands, not forgetting setting up our barbecue, bar and the numerous games we lay on. And like everyone else, us Lions aren’t getting any younger. These activities, however, are very important to us as they raise a large proportion of the valuable funds for our service activities for local charities and community/Lions projects. We were, therefore, very pleased to receive help from family and friends of the Lions. On behalf of the Lions, I would like to thank everyone for their assistance. We will be holding our Christmas lunches for senior citizens in the run up to the festivities, if you would like to attend or know anyone that may be interested, please contact us, bearing in mind it’s for local people over 65, retired and not in full time employment. We will also be pleased to put you on our contact list. If you would like more information on any of our services, fundraising activities, the White Stix Concert, booking a team at our Sponsored Swim, and also for registering interest in helping us in the future please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk.

Local Therapist & Local Group

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space. I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the

pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the ﬂow is impaired. I am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Local Therapist & Event

My Journey with Reiki I have wanted for some time to find a vocation in life that could help people in their evermore stressful lives. I had planned to study Swedish massage and had even been accepted onto a course but something just didn’t feel right, therefore I declined the placement offer. Soon after I was introduced to Reiki, which immediately appealed to me. This complimentary Therapy can provide benefits on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It can reduce stress while encouraging relaxation and improved sleep patterns. All these issues were of great importance to me and I felt that I would like to share the benefits of this wonderful Reiki energy with as many people as possible. All this started me on my journey. What is Reiki? Reiki is a natural form of energy healing that originates from Japan. ‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word. ‘Rei’ means ‘universal’ and ‘ki’ stands for ‘life force energy’. Life force energy flows into the body through pathways called meridians and chakras. Reiki heals by flowing to the affected area of the energy field through these pathways and clearing any blockages. It doesn’t matter if a client doesn’t believe in these ideas; the healing processes will still work, although if a client is not ready to be healed then it won’t work. Reiki encourages the body’s natural healing process. We can connect to something beyond what we can grasp with our five senses. How can Reiki help? Reiki can help you relax and strengthen your well being, reduce pain, anxiety, fatigue, help reduce side effects of medication and support recovery after injuries or surgery. When your life force energy is low you will be susceptible to illness. Strengthening your life force energy will help your body heal and remain healthy. You can also use Reiki on your pets, plants and even your food. History: Mikao Usui was the founder of Reiki back in 1922. Mikao Usui fasted, meditated and prayed in a cave on Mount Kurama for 21 days. On the 21�� day he experienced something that would change his life forever. He saw ancient Sanskrit symbols which helped him develop the system of healing we now call Reiki. Mikao Usui later introduced the five Reiki Principles that are guidelines that people can live by to help promote a happy, healthy life. These Principles are: Just for today, I will not anger Just for today, I will not worry Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings Just for today, I will do my work honestly Just for today, I will not harm another living being. These Principles are core to a Reiki Healer and the work they do. A Typical Session: At the beginning of a session, I explain what to expect, and I answer any questions you may have. I will also ask for the

completion of a declaration form which includes a brief medical history of the patient. You will be asked to lie on a massage table or sit if preferred and I will then proceed through a series of hand positions working from your crown to your feet. I can work hands-on or hands-off, if you’re more sensitive to touch. A session can last between one hour and one and a half hours. If you would like to know more about Reiki and how it may change your life, and/or you would like to try a treatment session, then do please contact me.
