Episode #143 Podcasthon: Supporting a cause : Reiki & Spring Energy: Embracing Change and New Growth

It's. a Podcasthon.We are here to give a shout out to our favorite charities and participate in a Podcasthon. Podcasts collide and come together. Ready Set Reiki with Tracy Searight welcomes Rose from "Chat Off the Mat" podcast for this special "podcast-a-thon" episode where their shared passions for Reiki, yoga, and energy work create a dynamic conversation about embracing spring's transformative power.Together they explore the wood element of spring through Traditional Chinese Medicine's wisdom, discussing how this season naturally invites growth, change, and sometimes uncomfortable stretching. As Rose explains, "When there's a lot of wood energy and we're not flexible, we get rigid—and what happens when we're rigid? The connective tissue gets tight." This physical manifestation mirrors our emotional and spiritual states, where resistance to change can manifest as anger or frustration.The conversation weaves through practical self-care practices particularly suited for this season. From the benefits of a "Reiki tune-up" to the gentle yet powerful practice of Qigong, Tracy and Rose offer accessible ways to work with spring's energy. They share personal stories of transformation, including Rose's experience using energy practices to release habits that no longer served her highest good.A particularly illuminating segment explores how the practice of gratitude journaling can radically shift your perspective and even manifest specific experiences. Tracy shares her playful experiment asking the universe for someone to call her "smart"—which manifested (albeit sarcastically) the very next day!Whether you're curious about energy work, seeking seasonal self-care practices, or simply looking for inspiration to embrace change, this episode offers wisdom, practical suggestions, and the warm companionship of two practitioners who embody the principles they teach. Discover why spring provides the perfect conditions for planting new seeds of intention in your life.Support the showReady Set Reiki is a journey From the curious beginner to the Season Master Teacherwww.readysetreiki.comSend in your questions [email protected] you.
