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 Podcast 00:53 Exploring the Concept of Overgiving 02:12 The Reiki Perspective on Giving Too Much 05:17 Understanding the Balance in Reiki Practice 09:25 The Importance of Self-Knowledge in Reiki 10:57 The Challenges of Overgiving in Reiki 15:50 The Role of Compassion in Reiki Practice 24:09 The Value of Reiki and the Importance of Reciprocity 44:56 Conclusion: Embracing Boundaries and Self-Worth in Reiki Additional Resources: - Join our Facebook Group: Embodying Reiki https://www.facebook.com/groups/1564135767437136 - Subscribe to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz6Jk8QD_8hjlfpSM8suMIA Bronwen Logan: https://ReikiwithBronwen.com Carrie Varela: https://www.reikihealingsociety.com Michaela Daystar: https://www.heartscapesinsight.com/ 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe, comment, and share to spread the knowledge and connect with the Reiki community.
