There is something quite magical about the New Moon, isn’t there? A hush falls across the sky, a sense of calm descends, and for a brief moment, we are gifted a cosmic blank slate.

This past week, I have truly felt the power of this lunar reset, and it’s sparked something within me—something bold, spontaneous, and just a little bit wild.

Harnessing New Moon Energy and Reiki for Radical Change

I’ve often spoken about my Reiki journey here on the blog, but today I want to share something deeply personal and incredibly empowering. Over the weekend, in a flurry of determination and energy, I did something I’ve been dreaming about for years—I booked a holiday abroad for myself and my children.

It might sound simple, even routine to some. But believe me, it was anything but. The financial hurdles, the emotional stress, the sheer logistics of planning a family trip as a solo parent—it all felt impossible for the longest time. And yet, in the aftermath of the New Moon, with my soul buzzing and my energy field positively glowing, I just did it. There was no fear. No hesitation. Just a deep, intuitive knowing that now was the time.

So how did this happen?

The answer, I believe, lies in the power of my Reiki self-care practice. Reiki isn’t just a healing tool. It’s not only for soothing physical aches or quieting the mind (although it does both beautifully). For me, Reiki is the spark that ignites my courage. It is the sacred discipline that keeps me grounded while allowing me to expand. It has become the secret ingredient behind every leap I take in life.

When I tune in and give myself Reiki—even just a few minutes a day—I reconnect with my deepest intentions. I calm the chaos of everyday life and allow space for clarity. And from that space, miracles start to flow. Booking a spontaneous holiday might seem unrelated to spiritual practice, but I know in my bones that this joyful decision was born from the energy I’ve been nurturing through Reiki.

Right now, I feel powerful. And not in a boastful, “I’ve got it all figured out” way. No—this is a softer, deeper power. The kind that says, “You’ve got this. You’re ready.” I feel more in alignment with my purpose, more connected to my children, and more open to whatever the Universe has in store.

And that brings me to my next manifestation: career transformation.

Just as I manifested our summer escape, I am now calling in better job prospects, more aligned opportunities, and the freedom to express my full potential through meaningful work. Yes, I’m sending out my CV. Yes, I’m applying in all the usual places. But I’m also doing something far more potent: I’m holding the vision. I’m doing the Reiki. I’m trusting the process.

Because here’s the truth—when you combine action with energetic alignment, you accelerate your journey. Reiki gives me the tools to stay balanced as I leap toward the unknown. It teaches me to trust my intuition, listen to my body, and honour my emotional needs. And I know that the more I care for my energy, the more magnetic I become to the life I desire.

If you’ve never tried Reiki before, I invite you to explore it. Start with curiosity. Set an intention. And let yourself feel what happens. You don’t need any experience or fancy equipment—just an open heart and a willingness to slow down and listen.

To help you begin, I’ve created some Reiki videos on my YouTube channel @SpookyMrsGreen, where I guide distance healing sessions and share insights from my own spiritual journey. These videos are designed for anyone, whether you’re brand new to energy work or simply seeking a moment of peace in your busy day.

Let this be your sign.

Whatever you’re dreaming of—whether it’s a new adventure, a new job, a new way of life—it’s not as far out of reach as it might seem. Start with energy. Start with intention. Use Reiki to help you reconnect with your truth. And then, when the inspiration strikes—leap.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one spontaneous decision to change everything.
