Discussions on what our emotions are and how they connect us to each other. We can send emotion energy such as love and we can feel and receive it also.
Listen to Alison Wem’s reflection on joy and receive a boost to how you feel.
It’s a simple exercise and lasts less than 5 minutes. It can be done at any time of the day.
Give yourself a treat, you deserve it.
Blessings.
Reflection on Joy here
Life is full of choices. You are given the free will to make your own choices. Your choices affect how your life unfolds.
Of course for our own well-being, we all need a safe and comfortable place to live, food on the table and clothes to wear. Once you have those, what choices do you make on where to spend your time and energy?
Do you choose the extra overtime for the cash? Or perhaps to do those evening emails to help you climb the corporate greasy pole?
Are you choosing to live a life or a living?
When fear is all around you as it feels to be at the moment, it is easy to inadvertently absorb it.
What can you do?
You are not defined by others’ actions but rather by how you respond. You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your reaction. I would like to think I chose hope over fear. No matter what is happening, I would always hope;
When I want to remind myself of the power of hope to our individual survival, I reread the book;
Man’s Search for Meaning: the classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust
Family are given to you but friends you get the opportunity to choose.
Family often love you unconditionally and stay with you throughout your life.
Friends often stay for a period in your life and then drift away. However I have noticed really close friends stay for the duration.
Some friendships are as close and as strong as a blood tie. They can be based on a common interest or less obvious things like the same sense of humour, life values or the joy of giving and receiving.

I am learning from giving virtual reiki sessions over WhatsApp in lockdown London, that distance is absolutely no problem for energy. My friends and customers are amazed that it feels the same as when I am in the same room as them.
Love is intelligent energy and has no bounds.
So with this post of the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, London I am sending my love to my friend Hitomi in Tokyo. Normally she visits us every other year but she has not been able to come due to the virus. Hitomi, we are missing you and hope we can meet again sometime soon.

Thoughts and beliefs are blueprints your mind and body seeks to fulfil. So, it’s always good to consider the reality you are currently creating.
Imagine yourself about to make a delicious soup. The cooking pot is on the stove and you turn to get the ingredients when, suddenly, a group of people from your life appear. Some are well known to you: family, friends, colleagues, past teachers; others you encountered more briefly. Each person leaves something for your soup before disappearing as quickly as they came.
Feeling Your Emotions: hope – inspiration – love was written during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in the Spring of 2020. A conversation between Alison Wem and her friends who are healers, mediums and a spirit artist but are also husbands, wives, parents and adult children observing and experiencing the pandemic. This is a very international group of friends with 5 countries and their respective cultures represented.
A whole range of feelings are expressed; fear, anxiety, uncertainty in a changed world, but more importantly there are messages of love, caring, support and humour which in themselves provide hope, inspiration and love.
