RWP Episode #119: Giving Too Much with Reiki Women Podcast

In this episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, hosts Carrie Varela, Michaela Daystar, and Bronwen Logan discuss the topic of overgiving, a common issue in the healer and helper archetypes. They discuss the importance of self-awareness, balance, and healthy boundary creation in the process of providing and receiving care. The conversation touches on how cultural expectations, personal tendencies, and professional pressures can contribute to overgiving, and how working with Symbol 2 and the mantra Sei Heki and adherence to Reiki Precepts can guide practitioners in maintaining balance. Different perspectives on offering free Reiki services and the idea of payment for service are also deliberated. The hosts underline the need for compassion, harmony, and understanding personal capacity for giving, in order to maintain an abundant and resourced self.00:06 Introduction to the Reiki Women Podcast00:53 Exploring the Concept of Overgiving02:12 The Reiki Perspective on Giving Too Much05:17 Understanding the Balance in Reiki Practice09:25 The Importance of Self-Knowledge in Reiki10:57 The Challenges of Overgiving in Reiki15:50 The Role of Compassion in Reiki Practice24:09 The Value of Reiki and the Importance of Reciprocity44:56 Conclusion: Embracing Boundaries and Self-Worth in ReikiAdditional Resources:- Join our Facebook Group: Embodying Reikihttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1564135767437136- Subscribe to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz6Jk8QD_8hjlfpSM8suMIABronwen Logan: https://ReikiwithBronwen.comCarrie Varela: https://www.reikihealingsociety.comMichaela Daystar: https://www.heartscapesinsight.com/🔔 Don't forget to subscribe, comment, and share to spread the knowledge and connect with the Reiki community.Support the show
