Send a textHave you ever been in a country where you don’t speak the language — and somehow still got your point across? That’s energy healing. You’re already doing it. Reiki just teaches you to speak it fluently.In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of my most passionate topics: **Reiki.** What it actually is, what the science says, and why I believe this practice belongs in every single person’s life. Whether you’re brand new to the concept or you’ve been curious for years, this one’s for you.I’m also sharing details about my upcoming **April 11th & 12th Reiki trainings** — and why I think you should be thereWhat We Cover- The analogy that finally makes Reiki *click* — think: traveling abroad, language barriers, and a 603 area code- What Reiki actually is — the history, the Japanese roots, and how it works- The science behind energy healing (yes, there are real studies — we go there)- **Reiki I vs. Reiki II:** what each level is really about and why we never rush the process- Why you might already be doing energy healing without knowing it- The truth about energetic transference — and why training protects you- Myth-busting: Does it require belief?
