Welcome to the DECEMBER newsletter
Friday, December 16, 2011 at 5:25PM ‘I open the door. The gorgeous guest from afar sweeps in. In her hands are her gifts – the gifts of hours and far-seeing moments, the gift of mornings and evenings, the gift of spring and summer, the gift of autumn and winter. She must have searched the heavens for boons so rare.’
Abbie Graham
What gifts are you are you giving yourself this month? Remember to make some time for you in the hurly burly of family, gift buying, meal preparation, eating and drinking. What are you celebrating for yourself as we say goodbye to 2011? What have you achieved this year; what have you learnt; what are you proud of? What do you want to leave behind so that you can move forward in to 2012? Try this simple release/completion ritual:
- Take a slip of white paper
- Write down feelings, fears, people or events you want to release
- Light a white candle
- Say aloud ‘I am ready to release and create space for the new to manifest.
- Burn the paper (safely!)
- Reflect and record your feelings if you wish...

Essential oil of the month
FRANKINCENSE
If you are doing the release ritual above, put some Frankincense in a burner to aid in the cleansing process. Frankincense also balances and protects. Working on the violet/gold ray and the crown chakra, this essence is healing both emotionally and physically. Its message is that the universal force moves only forward – there is no going back. Entirely appropriate for the Christmas season, it was one of the gifts to the baby Jesus.
Treatment of the month
HOT STONE THERAPY
A fabulous treatment for the winter months – it really should be part of your treatment menu if it isn’t already! An American massage therapist, Mary Nelson, was the founder of the original hot stone therapy which she called 'LaStone'. She wanted a system that would enable her to continue her therapy practice while easing her stiff and painful wrist joints. However, use of the stones is much more than a tool for the therapist; the warmth of the stones is truly comforting and they connect us with Mother Earth, grounding our vibrations.
Please note a previous qualification in massage (eg Swedish or Aromatherapy) is a pre-requisite for this course. The course costs £120 and carries 9 CPD points.
Amethyst offers courses in Hot Stone Therapy at venues in the North East, Colchester, Derbyshire, Edinburgh, Essex, Hull, Isle of Wight, Midlands, North West, Oxford, South Wales, South Yorkshire, Swindon, West Sussex and York. Full course objectives can be seen at http://www.amethystholistictraining.co.uk/hot-stone-therapy/
ANGELIC REIKI
The next Level 1/2 workshop for Angelic Reiki in the north east will be the 13-15th January and a Master/Teacher workshop 3-5th February.
If there are 4 or more of you interested in being attuned to Angelic Reiki and live outside the north east area, I am willing to travel to you to hold the workshop. Please get in touch with me if this is the case.
Hope to see you or hear from you soon!
Wishing you love and light and all good things for the festive season...
Love and light
Rachel
