An English Autumn

I long, as every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

Back in England for a couple of weeks, and my head is reeling a little from all the people I am seeing again and all the moving around. It's wonderful to be here, and to enjoy the beautiful shades and scents of early autumn, but I feel in the past week or so that I've been neglecting 'me' time that I've been building up over the past months - and this means Reiki, quiet reflection and contemplation and writing this blog as well as my little sleep book I write in every night to help clear any negativity that has built up during the day. Unsurprisingly, I haven't been sleeping well.

BUT - it's good to acknowledge this and be writing this now - to slow down a little and take each day at a time and, no matter how busy my day is, find time for this meditatative space. I'm reading an inspiring book about Reiki at the moment which is certainly helping and my brother gave me a wonderful little book filled with quotes he'd written out (one of which is Maya Angelou's above). I also had a good chat the other day with a lovely aunt of mine who is a Reiki master. I'll be fine, I just need to be present and enjoy this time back in England without letting it stress me out.
