What it really means to “channel” Reiki Universal life force energy.
This episode is perfect for the student or practitioner or teacher who is wanting to explore the discussion around what Usui Sensei really meant for us when he shared his story of enlightenment on Mt Kurama. What does the system of Reiki really teach us and what does it mean to channel or connect to Reiki energy. And if it is an energy within us, why then do we need hand positions, precepts, symbols and so on?

You have to make space for it to get better
A reminder that we need to move out of our comfort zone, we need to do the work for things to change. And sometimes that takes time and sometimes it’s not always what you think the outcome is going to be.

Reminder for caregivers to take time to have space held for them too
So often in roles as caretaker - whatever that may look like, we can be focussed so much on holding space for others we forget that we also need to be held. Whilst it may not be possible in the thick of things and we just do what we need to stay strong and have. A positive mindset, it’s important to take time out to let ourselves be in a space of vulnerability. To feel and to be held so that we can be met in our vulnerability. The longer we try to push down what’s going on, the more likely it is to come up later on in a way we least expect and in almost disrupting way.

Accepting the Shadow self
In this episode I explore the shadow self and the shame that often comes with that. I talk about how we can reach a point of acceptance and share a perspective on how you may be able to do that! Turning the story you have about yourself and your shadow trait into something that has helped you and is worth honouring.

Happy new year message and sharing my favourite Reiki practice for anchoring intentions
Happy new year message and sharing my favourite Reiki practice for anchoring intentions. When we anchor a frequency using Reiki it becomes an energy that we become familiar with - our new normal - and can help guide us in our daily life on how to manifest the life we want

Exploring why we need more somatic and embodied focus in our self Reiki practice
In this episode, the idea of what Reiki is all about is explored in the self practice context. We often place heavy expectations on ourselves to be able to shift and feel better, but what if we simply come back to what Reiki is all about and just allow to BE by being witness and meeting ourselves where we are at.

Moving through emotional pain
In this episode we focus on emotional pain - grief, sadness, heartbreak and so on. Often we desire so much to move through these feelings as they rise, but what if we didn’t? What if we learnt to be with the feeling. And what would that look like instead…

Is there a more superior and authentic type of Reiki?
In this episode I talk about what the most powerful Reiki is and most authentic lineages…. Or whether that even exists…

Reiki and anxiety - teaching students with anxiety and also for ourselves
In this episode I walk through the fact that Reiki isn’t for everyone and it’s not always a solution. Reiki isn’t always going to be the right thing for someone when they are overwhelmed by anxiety but it can help to manage anxiety when a student learns how to use it themselves in a way that suits them.

What is success and why we feel we need to be someone else to achieve it?
In this episode I share a couple of journal prompts inspired after a beautiful chat in our community Facebook group. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your worth around success then this is for you. 1) where in your life do you feel like being you isn’t enough - do you feel you need to be someone else to succeed? 2) what does success even mean or look like for you?

Exploring the belief “I am not enough” and how Reiki helps move through it
Our beliefs dictate our life - how we live, how we see the world and how it manifests. When our core belief is something like I am not enough, there is an opportunity for us to move through this with Reiki. It’s a self practice to help reconnect you to that part of you that is not separate, that is part of the entire Universe and all it’s living beings - all that are enough. It begins simply with the idea that maybe you can believe in the possibility that you could just enough to begin with…

Mini Self soothing healing practice
In this 7 minute practice, I guide you on a very simple practice of connecting to that part of you that is pure light and love coupled with a very simple rocking/swaying technique to help you self soothe. This is such a great practice when you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but also to help you relax and connect to that part of you that is infinite and overcome self doubt, fear or any other emotion that isn’t serving you in this moment.

As practitioners we don’t always have to have the answers
How can we empower our clients to have the confidence to let us know how we can best be of service to them and support them? Sometimes clients don’t need answers or advice, or a channeled message. Sometimes they just need your unconditional love and to be witnessed. So how can we create a conscious relationship with them that cultivates that safe container? And also… how can we do that for ourselves?

Tips to set up a healing space for seeing clients
In this episode I go through some tips to set up a space that is conducive to healing such as: massage tables, how colour makes a difference, sound and music for shifting frequency and scent. But most of all, it’s about setting up a space that works for you and your clients.

Is Reiki a type of meditation or is it a healing modality?
In this episode I talk about how Reiki can be both a form of meditation and a healing modality. Because fundamentally, isn’t it the same thing?
Jul 08, 202310:45
How to turn an anxious moment into an opportunity to connect and let go.
In this episode I share a technique that is suitable to help work through moments of anxiousness, over-thinking and worrying about things that we have no control over. Often when these moments flare up we are trying to control the situation so that we can avoid the perceived pain and suffering. But in these moments we have a most beautiful opportunity to reconnect to universe, to love and to light and to feel much bigger than the smallness our worry leads us to believe we are.

The challenge of self growth - letting go and non attachment
As we grow, sometimes the hardest part is the actual evolution into a different frequency and the movement away from the frequencies we have been so used to. The people, the places, the behaviours and so on. In this episode I explore the challenge of impermanence and remind you that letting go, even when we don’t want to, can open you up to so much more magic
Jun 08, 202311:50
Exploring the Reiki precept - just for today be honest
In this episode I speak about the Reiki precept - just for today work honestly or be honest. But all precepts are connected and in this episode I explore the question and challenge that often arises of: How do we also maintain our truth and be honest with being kind to others and also to ourselves too? I also talk about how our truth can change and that is why what is most important on this journey is that you always follow and seek your heart and truth, rather than your teachers.
Jun 07, 202320:51
“Channeling” Reiki - what does that mean and why we should self practice when we are afraid to feel
In this episode I talk about channeling Reiki and explore if it’s something we are working with outside of us or within? What is that “cosmic energy” that Usui Sensei felt enter the top of his crown anyway? I also discuss why our self practice is important even when we are feeling unworthy of connecting with high frequency or even when we are afraid to feel… how can Reiki help us through the density…

New recording - Are you afraid of doing something wrong.. or afraid of your potential?
In this episode I discuss imposter syndrome and self doubt when it comes to your business or practicing energy healing with clients. I explore the idea that your fear may in fact be not that you’re not good enough but that you’re too good! Perhaps as you’re remembering how to work with energy you’re also remembering your power and how powerful this work can be
May 17, 202318:45
Exploring our obsession with “knowing” and attaching meaning…
Just for today can you simply sit with the energy of your practice? And just allow yourself to be infinite oneness… we are obsessed with knowing what the energetics means or interpreting guidance but what if we let all of that go? And we simply just came back to surrender - the ultimate art of surrender which is to let ourselves simply be.
Apr 27, 202305:05
Why clients may be super interested and then ghost you
Sometimes clients can spend heaps of time enquiring or booking in with you only to then go MIA… why is that? It’s not always because they found someone else who is cheaper or better or whatever, sometimes it’s also because they’re afraid of the magic that may just occur in your container. They’re simply not ready to access their potential (and sometimes neither are we!)
Apr 18, 202307:31

Which teacher or lineage should I learn from or teach from?
In this episode I discuss some insights I had from the Usui Reiki 2022 global centennial conference in Osaka. Here so many different lineages joined together to discuss and practice Reiki and there was one thing we all had in common - committed to the unity of Reiki no matter who your teacher or how you practice! So how then does we know how to choose a lineage or teacher? And is there a right or wrong answer?
Apr 14, 202314:26
You don’t have to have answers or be able to read energy to be a great practitioner
In this episode I talk about coming back to basics and harnessing the magic of simply holding space for our clients. Sometimes they don’t want to talk or need guidance or answers and sometimes it’s simply not our place or we just don’t want to provide that service. Always ensure your client expectations are honoured and that you are also aligning with your desires and skill sets
