Hello, Everyone, I hope you all have a happy week as we tumble into Monday :) I had an urge yesterday to put out a video - here it is below. There is no one way to truth, freedom, or peace, and the learning is in the journey. Every single thing I do is in the hopes of stirring your inner-spark. Your awakening. That's how you grow into your own power, connected with "All". Herbal medicine and shamanic healing are about healing and shifting things in your physical body (also other bodies, but the physical plays a big part here in the way I work). Everything else is about awakening the spark in your soul that leads to re-membering. TAROT I have created separate Tarot pages on Facebook and Instagram so as not to clog up this site and page just with Tarot. If you have a love for Tarot, click on the links above and join. There's also a Tarot Newsletter that will go out once a month with an overview for each star sign. Of course, this is generalised guidance. Personalised readings are a little different. If interested in the Newsletter, simply let me know or sign up HERE. I have a huge love of Tarot. I've always found it grounding, practical, fun, spookily accurate, and often with a quirky sense of (sometimes dark) humour! Well, that's just how I like my stories, so it makes total sense I would gel with Tarot in the same way :) Like anything else, Tarot isn't there to tell you what to do - it is there for confirmation and guidance, and to open doors - even doors you might not have thought of going through. The rest is up to you. NEW CIRCLE I'm HIGHLY excited about the new circle on Friday. We will have a group of 8 people which is just wonderful. If you're coming, expect an email from me later today. LOW-COST HERBAL CLINIC The next low-cost herbal clinic day - for those watching their purse strings - is this coming Wednesday. Book in quick if you'd like to see me. Have an awesome week! Bright wishes, Dianna xx

You'll find this video on the Education page - I have also linked it below for you. Full information is available at Munay-Ki.org My personal experience of receiving the rites were vast: I was led directly to them by my guides, and knew when I began to receive them that I had received them before (or something similar to them in essence) in some other life. It helped to connect past and present for me. They increased my psychic and spiritual connection at the time, and many events happened over the 5 months I received them that propelled me forwards, including a "bonding" with my angelic guides, all of which I know will continue to grow and I will take forward in years to come. I'm always happy to speak about these experiences, and the rites, to anyone who asks. The hardest part about the rites - like with any practice - is the discipline to stay with the energies they bring over the long term, after you have received them. So I am in the midst of creating a "post-graduate" online (and in-person) association for those who have trained in any aspect of shamanism with me so we can touch base and go over aspects of teaching, healing others, and giving these rites, and also applying them day-to-day with the events that come your way. Much of it is about perspective and seeing day-to-day experiences as spiritual and multi-dimensional, and then living that reality as you integrate it into the material world. With love, Dianna xxx Happy Thursday, everyone! If you are receiving this as an email, click the Title of the blog post above (or on "read more" at the bottom) to be taken to the web page to read the whole thing.
This is just a short entry today to update you all on July happenings: the new Heart Warrior's Circle on Friday, 29th July will definitely go ahead. If you've expressed your interest in coming, you'll receive an email from me about it in a couple of days. If you'd like to come and haven't told me, just reply to this email (or contact me) and let me know. Some details are on the home page, and I can email you more info. The next Low-Cost Herbal Clinic Day has moved from Thursday, 28th July to Wednesday, 27th July. There are still a couple of spaces. I was going to write about the Munay-Ki rites - what they are and what they entail, and how they can be utilised. I think I may do a five-minute video instead and post it here on the blog. Look out for that soon. I very much have the drive to get offline more which is why I have been doing less and less videos and online readings over the course of the last year. It got pretty intense during lockdown when everyone turned to the internet. The internet is a wonderful medium in many ways (I have used it consistently since 2010 for my work), but when you attract followers online, you tend to keep them only online, and I'm more interested in building a local spiritual and healing community and seeing people face-to-face. I think that "in-person" energy is vital. However, I would like to balance that with some online work - I just do not want the online events to take over the in-person events. So, I may bring out a video a month or something - we shall see. I much prefer face-to-face readings and consultations. This is it for now - just the quick updates above. More soon. Bright wishes, Dianna xxx Dear All, Happy Summer Solstice! I hope you had a fabulous day in this beautiful, bright sunshine, enjoying the longest day of the year. We had a small, private ceremony here, and in the garden, and the energies were very "in flow". The Summer Solstice is all about the energy of the present and the force of vitality. It's the positive masculine - the peak of the power of the Sun God in British and Celtic paganism, and from now, he will slowly wizen as he ages. The Summer Solstice is about virility, action, and protection. Unlike the Winter Solstice, in which we retreat into shadow, in the Summer, we stand fully in the light and there is no shadow - nothing is hidden. We are fully ourselves and proud to be so - strong and certain. It is a time of celebration and to step fully into our power by taking action on the things we really want.  Summer Solstice altar. New Heart Warrior's CircleThere is a brand new Heart Warrior's Circle planned for the last Friday of every month, starting on 29th July. They take place here, in West Bedhampton, starting at 10am and lasting around 2 hours. Up to ten people can join. These circles involve themed group discussions with a therapeutic focus, from the shamanic perspective that look from the levels of the lower, middle, and upper worlds, and interconnects all life. We talk about personal transitions, world events, and more, with intention of stepping into our lives as "heart warriors". We also delve into the unexplained and mysterious, and in this space, I am happy to talk about my experiences and answer your questions about the things that take place in the Otherworld. If you are interested in coming, please contact me (you can reply to this email) and let me know. It's also a great chance to meet those who are like-minded. There is no commitment to come every month, but on the months the numbers are too few, I may have to cancel. This Circle will be open to new members until it's full. That's all for now. You may receive another newsletter towards the weekend.

Dianna xx Happy "end of May" everyone, and I hope the New Moon in Gemini (peaking yesterday at around midday) treated you well. I don't post much on my websites about the "shamanic healing" I offer, so this post is going to go some way to explaining this through my own lens and how I work. Shamanic healing or shamanism is an incredibly broad term to explain an earth-and-spirit-based way of life that sees all as being "at one" with everything else. We are not separate from the earth or the stars, and the energetic and material items given to us from both are gifts which can heal us. From the earth comes herbs, food, water, and some rocks. From the cosmos comes meteorites and some crystals, fire, some flowers, and Spirit. (To put it simply.) I tend to use three main avenues to living and healing in a shamanic way:
 Hands-on healing can be quite physical, working on ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and so on, all through the energy points of the body (what you might know of as chakras and meridian lines). It is always conducted fully clothed. Whatever ailment you come to see me for, it can incorporate any of the above. You can also let me know which of the above you feel drawn to. For example, it might make logical sense to use herbs to clear a long-standing cough, but if you instinctively feel drawn to energy healing in order to clear the cough, we can do that - your intuition is important in your own healing.
The first session is usually at least 90 minutes (except in some instances like divination which is usually an hour), and subsequent sessions can range from 20 minutes to 3 hours. (I charge at £1 per minute, or £60 per hour, with herbal remedies being extra.) I don't offer things like packages just because, with the way I work, one size really does not fit all, and energy is fluid - you may move through your healing very fast and only need two or three sessions, or there may be layers to clear before you really start to move. A client can be one-off, or a client can be for years because they find every session beneficial. But either way, you will know what you want and need because you will feel it within you - you will get a sense and a yearning, and most people feel whatever changes are taking place within, especially if they live very consciously in terms of their high-self awareness. Next week, I'll speak a bit more about the Munay-Ki rites and how this can kick-start your deeper connection with Spirit and needed changes within your life through the energetic transference of the rites. Have a wonderful week and Jubilee! Best wishes, Dianna xxx Please also read our Disclaimer. Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter and Beltane on the 1st May. Ever since Beltane, I have actually been feeling quite unsettled and fiery, and I associate it with the planetary shift we have this month. Perhaps I feel it more because of where my own planets are located, but it's quite something. Very strong, very intense, and with a sense of permanence about it. It is also an opportunity to release some karmic knots and shift your life in the direction you want it to go, and the "urgency" of that feels quite big for me - it's that Jupiter in Aries feeling, knowing what planets are in Aries in my own chart. We have a Full Moon in Scorpio just after 5pm on 16th May, and it is also a lunar eclipse. In addition, Jupiter travels into Aries for the first time in 12 years on 10th/11th May, stays there for 5 months, then moves back into Pisces on 28th October until the Winter Solstice when it goes back into Aries permanently for 12 years. So, I'm going to share with you some words I shared earlier today - take whatever resonates (the above are more exact dates - I wrote the below without the exact dates). I am not an astrologer, and info about what the planets are doing can be found easily online, but the below is my interpretation after tapping into how I feel and what I sense; without personalising it, but generalising it for the majority.  Photo: Full Moon, by Dianna. If any shadow emotions arise at this time and until the end of the month, it’s incredibly important to let them - shed them. That is the nature of the Scorpio full moon eclipse and the move from Jupiter into Aries which also happens around the same time. (Around 16th May.) Kindness, compassion and passion, non-judgment, acceptance, peace, love, joy, happiness, bliss.... encompassing these traits into our lives, daily, will help us move forward into the right future. But we must not be or do those things out of fear or duty - that is falseness. Like I said, take from the above what resonates - what helps you. Leave behind what doesn't. I find it's best to use the stars as a guide - as a compass - with the option to veer in another direction if your higher mind deems that's right. I'm offering 33% off a 90-minute coaching/counselling session with me (60 minutes if you have seen me before) because this is a time when we need to have a balanced mental state, balanced emotions, and make the best decisions we possibly can for ourselves. The session will look at your current life issues - any problematic areas - to see if we can look at them from a new perspective, or to see if we can bring things to an end or closure. We can set a plan in motion for you to take forward with vibrational essences if desired, as they are so good at helping clear blockages (though they will neither stop you doing, or make you do, anything that needs to be done - we can't avoid or deny the big things that matter). It's a big time for endings. Because it's a time for new beginnings - important ones. Shamanic Coaching/Counselling |
 | I'm delighted to introduce you to Heart Warrior Essences, the system name all my future flower & vibrational essence will fall under. This work is blessed by the beautiful little hummingbird, naturally flying to a high vibe and never giving up on its journey to a higher state of consciousness despite the many miles per year it migrates from south to north and back again. This little being is not afraid of hard work and unforeseen challenges! |
Clicking on the button above will take you to the home of these essences where much is written about them and you can easily purchase them. You can also purchase them from the Kia Ora website. If you are local, there is an option at checkout on both of those websites to choose "local pick-up" (from Bedhampton, Havant), which means you don't have to pay postage. You will have to travel to location (PO9) as we don't deliver by hand.
Over the past two years, the Between Worlds Series is the most notable set of essences I've made, very much aligned with planetary happenings and global world events. They have been helpful to a small group of people up until now, and I'm delighted to make them available to all. Do take a look and read all about them. It is the first and only set I've created since the KUTA Essences.

At the moment, they are only available as single essences. I'm looking to also sell them as a set of five - which would make a lovely gift - but the packaging and inserts need thinking on at the moment, so more news on that in the future. Just as I am hoping to be able to run a KUTA Essences workshop soon, I will also run a Heart Warrior Essences workshop that will cover the "behind the scenes" elements of these essences' creation.
I'm also going to leave you all with a bit of impromptu feedback I received this morning (which I was over the moon about) referencing Carer's Strength...
Feedback from Jenny (thank you!).
The Week Ahead
Schools have broken up for Easter and I am looking forward to what I hope is a relaxed couple of weeks studying and working with herbs (both of which I find restful and joyous!). So, recuperation and some earth-loving is my aim.
There is a partial solar eclipse on Beltane this year, where both the new moon and the sun will be in Taurus. Beltane always reminds me of when Alastair and I made KUTA-1 at Stanton Drew Stone Circle - the experience was phenomenal - so I, personally, sense a need to revisit that particular essence, or perhaps the KUTA system as a whole. There is a sense with this particular eclipse of things being shaken up globally, but also a deep certainty that if you are on your path and happy within yourself, you will bypass the "shaking" without too much trouble. But perhaps we can say that about anything? Happiness is certainly an important key to living in a higher state of consciousness and avoiding the things you don't want to get sucked into.
But the eclipse is towards the end of the month. Next week is nearer, and I feel rest, recuperation, rekindling joy, saving energy, making energy, and not rushing, are important traits to take on board to make next week easier. Perhaps you'll find those elements useful for your own life, too.

Creating your sacred space is vital for inner-peace and balance, and communication with Spirit, hearing your own inner-voice and guidance, and connecting with your intuition.
This 3-hour workshop talks you through building your personal "altar", why it's important, how to cleanse both your space and you; what to do if you have no space(!); create boundaries around you, the purpose of "tools of power", anointing oils, and more. You'll also go home with a couple of creations!
If you have struggled with decisions, moving forward, finding peace at home, feeling settled, hearing your own voice, certainty and security, you may find this workshop useful.
Small group of up to 10 - tickets go on a first come, first serve basis.
