As we step into 2026, there is a palpable sense that something has shifted. The energy feels lighter, clearer, and more forward-moving — as though we’ve shed an old skin and are finally ready to breathe again.
The past year carried the quiet, inward wisdom of the Snake. It was a year of deep shedding, inner work, and sometimes uncomfortable truths. Many of us were asked to slow down, reflect, release old patterns, and let go of what no longer fit. That process isn’t always visible, but it is powerful. The Snake teaches us that healing often happens beneath the surface, in stillness and silence.

Now, as we move into the Year of the Horse, the energy changes — and so do we.
The Horse brings momentum, freedom, and forward motion. Where the Snake asked us to pause and transform, the Horse invites us to move, to build, and to bring what we’ve learned back into the world. This isn’t rushed energy — it’s aligned movement. It’s about taking grounded steps forward with clarity, confidence, and heart.
This is why 2026 feels like such an important year for healing and building.
Healing That Supports Forward Movement
Reiki and sound healing are perfect companions for this transition. After a year of deep inner work, our nervous systems need support as we begin to expand again. Healing in 2026 isn’t about retreating — it’s about creating a strong, balanced foundation so we can move forward without burning out or disconnecting from ourselves.
Reiki helps bring the body and energy system back into harmony, supporting emotional balance, stress release, and deep relaxation. It allows the body to integrate all that inner work gently, so we don’t carry old tension into this new phase.
Sound healing with singing bowls supports this too — the vibrations helping to clear stagnation and encourage flow. Just like the Horse energy, sound moves. It reminds the body how to trust rhythm again, how to soften while still moving forward.
A Year to Learn, Build & Step Into Your Path
The Year of the Horse is also a powerful time for learning and personal growth. If you’ve felt a quiet calling to learn Reiki, explore animal Reiki, or work with sound healing and singing bowls, 2026 supports that courage to say yes.
This isn’t about pushing yourself into something new — it’s about allowing what’s already been stirring inside you to take shape. Many people feel drawn to energy healing during times of transition, not because they are broken, but because they are ready to step into something more aligned.
Learning Reiki or sound healing this year can be deeply grounding, helping you build confidence, trust your intuition, and create something meaningful — whether that’s for personal healing, supporting others, or developing a healing practice of your own.

A Space to Pause, Reset & Gather Strength
Even in a year of forward movement, rest remains essential. My healing studio in Monton offers a calm, nurturing space to pause, recalibrate, and receive support through 1-2-1 Reiki or sound healing sessions.
Think of it as tending to your inner world while your outer world begins to move again. A place where you don’t have to perform, explain, or keep going — just breathe, receive, and allow your system to reset.
An Invitation for 2026
The Year of the Horse reminds us that freedom comes from balance — from healing deeply and allowing ourselves to move forward with purpose.
If 2026 feels like the year you want to feel more grounded, more energised, and more connected to yourself, Reiki and sound healing can support you beautifully on that journey.
Whether you’re coming for a 1-2-1 session, exploring learning opportunities, or simply curious about what’s next for you, you are warmly welcome at the healing studio in Monton.
May this year bring gentle momentum, steady growth, and the kind of healing that carries you forward — not back.
With warmth and gratitude,✨
