What People are saying ...

"Your journey is your destination." Raye Bower

Raye painting

Rather than simply talk about herself. Raye asked others to describe her. This is what they wrote...

Naisha Ahsian, Author of "The Crystal Ally Cards" and "The Little Book of Abundance" had this to say about Raye:-
"Raye Bower is without exception one of the finest teachers and practitioners of energy healing I have encountered. Her intuitive gifts and ability to perceive and diagnose energetic flow, coupled with her extensive knowledge of healing modalities, makes her an invaluable resource to students and clients alike. I would highly recommend Raye's work to anyone who has a real interest in deeply exploring the full potential of energetic and somatic healing."

Naisha Ahsian

Someone else chose to describe Raye as follows:-
"Raye Bower is one of the most fascinating people you could ever meet. Though she is blessed with enormous talent, and the ability to inspire others, Raye is never egotistical and can be quite self-effacing, and has a wonderful sense of humour. Having been involved with energy work for more than thirty years, she has a plethora of experience, as well as skill. Raye instructs Reiki, Crystal Therapy, and Indian Head Massage, and she has spiritual gifts which enable her to do psychic drawings; people are usually very moved by these and find them helpful and inspirational. The ability to make people feel immediately at home and relaxed, whatever their views, or cultural background, is a rare gift. When visiting Raye's home you feel as though you have met her before and this is a place you have been waiting to visit. Having visited, you were extremely glad you did."

"Raye – Thank you and Mary for the weekend which was really mind expanding.

I feel so inspired with what you are achieving and hope that some of the skills may be possible for me to carry out to India with me.

I suppose what I like about the way you work is that it is so SOUND and professional and carried out as if it is the most natural thing in the world… It isn’t like that for most people at the moment but gives us all a chance to re-member our connections with the earth and re-member who we are.

Thank you both again for an abundant and incredibly generous weekend."

Vanya Orr (India)


"Dear Raye,

A message from beautiful North Wales.
Can it be a week since we were nearly with you? It feels as if I have lived a life time in the days since last weekend.
Thank you for your heart opening gifts which took form in so many ways and with such incredible generosity, humour and love.
I thought I would sleep that first night home with the crystals pointing towards me – silly me – would they let me sleep – of course not – or at least not until I had turned them away from my body. Powerful little ones eh?
It was a powerful, rich experience for which I am so grateful.
Thank you Raye for all that you gave.
With love"

Joy (N.Wales)


"Hi Raye

Thank you so much for the lovely day you gave our carers, they have all said how much they enjoyed the day.
When you get a minute please drop in to see us and perhaps we could talk about some more sessions.
Thank you Raye – you really made a difference that day.
Best wishes"

Dawn Keyon (for Carlisle Carers Association)


"To Raye – with endless thanks for a totally amazing weekend, to know you and learn from you is a joy and a privilege – I look forward to the next step along the path to enlightenment with you, much love, joy and peace always."

From Angie (Warrington)


Melody, author of “Love is in the Earth – a kaleidoscope of Crystals” and many other books wrote:-

"Dear Raye
May crystal rainbows line your path, and may you always continue to follow the beauty of your dreams – and continue to create beauty in the dreams you create.
It is my pleasure to finally meet you – I looked forward from the time of our correspondence and I celebrate sharing your truly wonderful healing energy – focused with love and the beauty of intent.
You are a healer and a teacher and I celebrate that we will continue to work together.
Until again my friend,
Love and Hugs
Melody"


"Dear Raye,

Just a note following last weekend's crystal course. I was really looking forward to the course after the last one and had high expectations of it, but they were surpassed by the reality.

The course was very exciting to me because I have wanted to work with crystals for as long as I can remember, but when I have investigated courses I've never wanted to take them further because they teach that crystals work in some magical way and this is not my feeling/experience, nor does it fit with other related areas of work with crystal. I know I am not the only person who is put off crystals by this approach.

Your course by contrast was a revelation and was completely in sympathy with my view that crystal therapy is a holistic experience in the original sense of the word, that is to say that it is man working with his environment to achieve the highest good. It was a common sense approach to crystals that made them accessible to everyone, whatever their individual beliefs.

I think your course sets the standard for all others and can't wait to see what happens on the next one!

My thanks and best wishes to Duncan, Mary and Angie too - see you all in June." - Margaret, Glasgow


"My Thoughts on Raye…

If you are lucky, Once in a lifetime, you get the chance to meet a Very Special person. I believe Raye is one such person…

My chance came on the day of my Reiki 1 Attunement, I was a bit nervous, well the word I used to Raye was ‘terrified’ actually. Oh how wrong I was to be proved. Raye made me feel ‘at home’ as soon as I walked into her home, you can feel the love and energy, that emanates from Raye. Calming you down as soon as you meet her. you can tell, if you are privileged to visit her home, just how much she loves her calling.

Raye is very modest, and is more interested in you than herself. Meeting Raye has changed my life beyond all imagination, I left feeling I wanted to go right back in, and I know if I had done I would have been very welcome, Raye's partner Duncan is charming, and he too makes you at ease. They are a wonderful couple, and if you are thinking of Reiki or Crystals. Then there is only one choice in my mind, Give Raye a call. As soon as she answers the phone…. You will have your answer!!!!

They really do make you feel part of the family, a truly Blessed and overwhelming and emotional experience meeting this remarkable special Lady. Raye Bower God bless you. From deep within my he art..

I look forward to meeting you again soon

Love and Light"

Colin Mills, Anthorn


"I met Raye, when I went to do my Reiki 1 Attunement, a month after my husband Colin. I must admit I was a little apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect. Although Colin had told me a little of what it involved, I wanted to experience it for myself.

I was met at the door by Raye, who immediately made me feel at home, and relaxed, and introduced to Duncan,
everything was explained to me about what would take place, and all my questions were answered. nothing was to much trouble, in making me feel at ease.

At the end of the day, I felt I had known Rayed and Duncan forever, (maybe I have!!!) and I have made two new very good friend's who we keep in touch with on a regular basis.

The experience changed my Life in many ways, which is partly due to the wonderful person Raye is. "

Lorraine Mills, Anthorn


"Hi Raye,

Thanks for a great weekend, I really enjoyed it and learned so much.

The weekend has restored a great calmness in me I had forgotten was possible.

Thank you." - Kylie, Australia


"Dear Raye,

Thanks for a wonderful weekend when the power of crystals was so obvious to see! It was a mind opening experience and I cant wait for level 2.

Take care until I see you again." - Mal, Cumbria


"What a wonderful experience!! Two days full of mind blowing crystals - showing us their power. Fantastic!! Looking forward to level 2. WOW!!" - Margaret Strong


"Dear Raye,

What an honour to return from the US early so I that I could experience crystals with your guidance.

I must say the experience was amazing.

The energy I received was electrical to say the least.

Looking forward to further courses with you in 2004.

Respectfully submitted" - Sandra Cherokee Hill


"Dear Raye,
Thank you (and Dave) again for coming down to Cardiff to teach us about Crystals. In the time honoured democratic way, the students decided (in my absence!) that I should write on behalf of all of us.
I think it is fair to say that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the course and each others company over the weekend. We all felt the course was well paced and easy to understand, without being simple. The notes and direction were clear and there was an atmosphere of learning and sharing together - rather than teaching and being taught.
Both Vanessa and I left the course feeling that we could apply what we had learnt for the benefit of others and ourselves, rather than needing to know more before being confident. I am sure that the others left with a similar feeling.
I think that you have taken a subject that is both fascinating and daunting and put it into a course that gives you what you need to start practising crystal healing safely, whilst opening you up to the 'bigger picture'. I think we are all looking forward to the second course.
It was great to meet you and Dave, and a pleasure to spend the weekend with you.
Looking forward to seeing you again."

Full 'on' treatment in Cuba


"Working as a mental health nurse has a certain amount of stress, and this coupled with other issues which were and still are affecting the organization, led me to be suffering with symptoms of stress. So this time last year it was a case of either go to the doctor and get some pills thrown at me (not an option as I know what pills actually do to you) or try some other treatments. By coincidence (I now believe there is no such thing as coincidence and that I was led down this path) a neighbour had been to see Raye for a Reiki treatment and suggested I go.

Meeting Raye has been both a life changing experience and a privilege. From that first meeting and an hours Reiki treatment my life has changed dramatically, for the better. It was as if something within me awoke that day and has been growing and developing ever since. Looking back I now realize that I had to go through those bad experiences to be where I am today, I came to a crossroads in my life and rejoice that I chose the path I did.

Raye brings zest into living which is truly inspirational. She has acted as a guide on my spiritual journey which in all honesty has only just started. That's not bad for someone who has been described in the past as very logical and always wanting to know how things worked! It has been amazing to watch people change after receiving Reiki and spending a few hours in her company.

I believe that the world is awakening and that Raye is here to help us all with the process. I would like to thank Raye for all her love, support and guidance and encourage anyone who has come to their crossroads to seek out Raye.

Maybe visiting this web site is the coincidence you were looking for in order for you to start your journey......"

John Fee (Wigton, Cumbria)


"I was on my way to the beach hoping to find some form of solace at the sea - maybe even a sense of belonging (a feeling that I have not felt for a while) maybe some answers to relieve the confusion that is so vivid in my mind.

I was driving my car along the main road when I had this incredible urge to pull over at this little tearoom called the 'Tea and Tarot' (a place I had passed many times before). When I walked through the front door I knew that I had been guided there , it felt comfortable and cosy, the feeling that you have when you get out of a warm bath and get straight into bed. I knew that I was there for a reason, I just wasn't; sure what the reason was ...a feeling I was beginning to become quite familiar with.

I remember picking up a magazine and strolling into the tea room. As I walked in I was greeted with a warm smile from Raye. I paid for my magazine and decided to stick around. I went and sat at the table next to Raye. She chatted to me a bit and I went to sit with her. I then relished the reason I was there...

She was given permission to draw my guide and after chatting about it afterwards I was so pleased with myself and where I was going. I have never had a more profound experience in my life and only hope that our paths will cross again in the future.

What I experienced far exceeded my expectations - and that in itself was a lesson - don't; expect, just be!

Hours of time pass fleetingly because they are filled with purpose.
