Ready Set Reiki

You can feel it when someone has lived the work, not just studied it. I’m joined by  Safra Turner,founder of iHolistica Institute for Holistic Health and Advanced Energetica, and her story is the kind that rewires how you think about Reiki, energy healing, and what it actually means to “heal.” From learning to see energy at 17 to receiving Reiki attunements at 18 while serving as a frontline soldier, Safra Turner has spent nearly three decades walking a path that blends real-world responsibility with spiritual truth. We talk about the misconception that people come to healers because they want healing, when many are really hoping to be fixed without changing.  Safra shares why the ones who heal are the ones who choose healing, and why the healer’s role is presence and support, not projecting meaning onto someone’s pain. Tracy also shares her own surgery and recovery experience, and how energy work can support the nervous system, emotions, and mindset alongside practical medical care. Then we go deeper into consciousness studies, natural law, and the Law of One, including  Safra’s explanation of base 10 consciousness versus base 12 consciousness and how that shift connects to sovereignty and awakening. You’ll also get a quick grounding practice you can try immediately, plus ways to explore  Safra’s educational resources and writing through iHolistica. Safra Turner is the founder of iHolistica, Institute for Holistic Health & Advanced Energetica. She has nearly three decades of experience in holistic healing, emotional transformation, and advanced energetics. Safra helps individuals reclaim their sovereignty, access their innate healing capacity, and awaken perception through practical tools grounded in Universal Law, Base-10 and Base-12 consciousness, and integrative natural therapeutics.More comprehensive bio:https://iholistica.com/meet-safra/ If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share it with a friend on a healing path, and leave a review so more listeners can find Ready Set Reiki.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Mini Bernedoodles for saleMini Bernedoodle puppies for sale.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. 

Reiki can sound like a secret club from the outside, and that misunderstanding keeps a lot of people from trying a practice that could genuinely help them feel calmer, clearer, and more connected. I sit down with Patty Chevalier Montgomery, a lifelong elementary educator and Usui Holy Fire®️ III Reiki master teacher, to bring Reiki down to earth, tell the real story of how it shows up, and share what it looks like to live Reiki as a daily way of life.Patty shares a fascinating origin story that starts with a past life regression that nudged her toward teaching, decades of bringing “light” into the classroom, and then a surprising moment where Reiki finally clicks as the missing piece. We talk mentorship, why auditing classes can deepen your skills, and how to choose training and teachers that match your values. We also explore common Reiki misconceptions, like the belief that Reiki is only for “special” people or that it requires a specific religion, and we offer simple analogies and lived experience to make energy healing easier to understand.You’ll also hear about practical tools that support Reiki sessions and Reiki business growth, including self-Reiki, meditation, long distance Reiki on Zoom, integrity in practitioners, and how Patty blends Reiki with angel oracle card readings in an uplifting, client-centered way.

Color can be more than decoration. Sometimes it is information, a mirror, and even a kind of medicine. On this Ready Set Reiki journey, we are joined by intuitive artist and writer Heather Eck, with Dina Fortune as our co-guide, to explore what happens when synesthesia, spirituality, and energy healing meet the canvas. Heather shares how she senses people through specific shades, how those aura colors point to emotional blocks, and how she translates that into abstract paintings designed to uplift and restore. We also talk about the real-life turning point behind her work: nearly 20 years in corporate HR, a body pushed too far, and the moment she chose the path that felt restorative instead of impressive. From there we dig into trusting intuitive “downloads,” why creativity can calm the nervous system, and how looking at art or making something with your hands can become a steady practice for wellness. If you’ve ever wondered whether faith and spiritual gifts can belong in the same life, Heather offers a grounded perspective rooted in scripture while still honoring intuition and the chakra-informed language of color healing. Heather Eck is an award-winning abstract fine artist, intuitive healer, and synesthesia practitioner based in Holly Springs, North Carolina. Best known for creating "Spirit Portraits," she uses her unique ability to see emotions and energy as colors to help clients transform their personal narratives through visionary art.You’ll also hear practical takeaways for building a soul-led creative healing business, including why ignoring your own inner signals is the fastest way to build something you hate. Heather closes with a simple experiment: look at what colors you keep wearing, because your wardrobe might be telling you what your spirit needs next.

You can feel a life change coming before you can explain it and that’s where energy work gets real. Tracy   sits down with returning guest Gloria “Grace “Rand, founder of Radiant on Purpose, to talk about Reiki, light language, and the courage it takes to stop dimming yourself for other people’s comfort. We get honest about what it means to be visible, especially when your path looks “different,” and why the universe sometimes nudges you from behind-the-scenes into the spotlight. Gloria breaks down light language in a grounded way: a multidimensional, heart-led frequency that can be spoken, sung, or expressed through movement, often arriving in “dialects” that feel familiar to the receiver. We also talk about Reiki as a practical support system, not just a spiritual concept, including how Reiki circles can help you move grief, soften emotional overload, and bring you back to balance when life hits hard. Along the way, we unpack a common misconception that trips people up: thinking Reiki is only something you receive from someone else, instead of a skill you can learn and use for self-care. Midlife empowerment is a core theme, with a special focus on women over 50 who are done being told they are past their prime. Gloria shares her signature L O V E method: Let Go And Let God, Open Your Heart To Receive, Value Your Uniqueness, and Embrace Your Divinity, plus the mindset behind pivots, reinvention, and building confidence one decision at a time. If you’re craving clarity, purpose, and a deeper relationship with your intuition, this conversation offers a steady place to start. Gloria “Grace” Rand is the founder of Radiant On Purpose, guiding mission-driven women over 50 to live life on their terms. A bestselling author, certified high-performance speaker, and podcaster, Grace blends her signature L.O.V.E.

The fastest way to start a fight online about Reiki is to ask a simple question and watch as answers turn into attack. Ready Set Reiki hope is for  a calmer, smarter path, one where we can respect all systems all images and all schools of Reiki . Ready Set reiki invited two true way showers; Bronwen Logan of Reiki With Bronwen  and Mary Riposo   of Infinite Light Center. Together, we name what is actually happening beneath the noise: widespread Reiki misconceptions, fuzzy definitions, and an “identity crisis” that shows up when people confuse Reiki the practice with “Reiki the energy,” or when they treat a Reiki session like something a practitioner does to you instead of a practice you share and embody.We also dig into why Reiki history matters right now. Bronwyn explains why new primary source material, including a handwritten 1904 CV from Mikao Usui, is so exciting and so stabilizing. When fresh evidence appears, it can confirm parts of the story, challenge other parts, and push us to teach with more care. That is not trivia, it is ethics. If we want Reiki training to be credible and clear, we cannot keep repeating claims that misrepresent the system or inflate it into something medical. Staying relevant is part of staying honest.Then we bring it into the modern world: distance Reiki, online Reiki classes, and what real access looks like. Mary shares why her entire practice is remote now, why live teaching on Zoom can be deeply supportive, and how it can serve students who cannot travel or who need safety and privacy. We close by asking a grounded question: if Usui were here today, would he be disgusted or would he hand us the precepts and ask us to practice them.Bronwen Logan, also known as Bronwen Stiene, is an educator in the Japanese art of Reiki, as well as a writer, an animal lover, a thinker, a podcaster, a feminist, and a catalyst for spiritual and personal empowerment. With 25 years of teaching experience and counting, Bronwen’s teachings extend beyond the conventional, inviting you to explore the deeper, transformative elements of the system of Reiki.Bronwen’s interests include studying meditation from a variety of cultural influences, writing about her spiritual experiences from a philosophical and practical perspective, discovering more about the importance of Japanese culture and philosophy in the system of Reiki, embodying the role of women in the healing arts, supporting the wellbeing of animals through healing work and more.A driving force in the Reiki community, Bronwen co-founded both the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association. She’s the co-author of respected works such as The Reiki Sourcebook, The Japanese Art of Reiki, and Your Reiki Treatment. Her extensive publications and teaching materials have been a cornerstone for students globally, offering guidance that blends scholarly accuracy with heart-centred intuition.Bronwen’s soothing voice has guided many through Reiki audiobooks, blogs and a wide range of meditations and web classes. Always focused on her students’ well-being, Bronwen supports her work with certifications in Teaching Training and Assessment, TEFLA, Senior First Aid, and Counseling.Living in Australia’s countryside, Bronwen teaches and offers treatments in the tranquil setting of Tomah Retreat in the Blue Mountains. Here, she has created a haven for the many rescue animals in her life and a venue for students to come and stay and study.Bronwen is equally at home in the realm of virtual healing for those who can’t make the journey to Tomah Retreat. Her online courses include regular weekly, bi-weekly and monthly classes for students of her Reiki world, Reiki with Bronwen.Mary RiposoMary is a Reiki Master practitioner, teacher, author, and coach who found Reiki after suffering from a number of mystery illnesses that didn’t respond to Western medicine. She had such a positive response that she decided to learn Reiki herself and share it with others. Mary ran Infinite Light Center with her husband, Tony, from 2013 to 2021, where she directed the Reiki Program. After the physical location closed in 2021, Mary began practicing exclusively online, offering sessions, workshops, mentoring & classes in all levels of Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki and ICRT Animal Reiki.  Subscribe for more Reiki conversations, share this with a practitioner who feels overwhelmed by the online noise, and leave a review so more people can find a steady, informed Reiki path.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Mini Bernedoodles for saleMini Bernedoodle puppies for sale.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. 

Tracy Searight shares her journey with a recent Hip replacement surgery. Years of Yoga and not listening to the whispers of her  body Someone told my daughter, “I heard your mother is falling apart,” and it hit me in a place I didn’t expect. Six weeks after a right hip replacement, I can finally name what’s really happening: I’m not falling apart, I’m being put back together. This is a solo, deeply personal Ready Set Reiki story about what it looks like when your body forces a pause and your spirit has to catch up.I walk you through the long arc, from a passionate yoga practice and the ways I didn’t listen to my body, to the grief that cracked my life open after losing my sister and later my father. Reiki energy healing, prayer, and a steady relationship with God become daily tools for stress relief, emotional regulation, and trust, especially when life requires big pivots like moving, starting over at 50, and letting go of opportunities I’d been manifesting for years.We also get real about a question many people whisper: if you “do Reiki,” should you ever need surgery, medication, or physical therapy? I share why ethical Reiki never replaces medical care, why practitioners don’t diagnose, and how energy work can support recovery without magical thinking. Finally, I break down how to navigate the growing world of Reiki systems and Reiki training with research, transparency, and respect for lineage so you can choose what fits your healing journey.Tracy Searight At the age 5 knew she had the heart of a teacher and a mother. These two passions were her driving force through majority of her life. In 2006 she connected with Yoga and it became a beautiful love affair. Pushing her body and not listening to the whispers of her body Tracy  used Yoga to move through the most challenging and painful parts of her life. Genetics, life and wear and tear she found herself four years ago with a tear as she was a student in a yoga class. The x-ray in the Surgeon’s office told of two decades worth of damage. At the top of her game, she had to make a decision. Do I pause to heal or do I push through and keep going? Wife, mother, fur mom, teacher, yoga teacher, Reiku master, author, podcast, and host of the TV show Laughing light Worker Tracy shares her journey what may look like falling apart to others was just a matter of her finally coming together.If this podcast resonates with you  subscribe, share it with a friend who’s recovering or rebuilding, and leave a review so more people can find a grounded, hopeful view of Reiki and healing.

Reiki has a reputation for being all calm, cozy, and bliss, but what happens when a session brings tears, big realizations, or a total shift in how you see your life? I sit down with Jessie Rudi, PhD, a Reiki master teacher, mentor, and founder of Clearly Connected Healing, to talk about the real lived experience of Reiki and energy healing, especially for sensitive people who have spent years carrying what isn’t theirs.Jessie Rudi, PhD, Reiki Master shares how Reiki “found” her in 2023, why her first session felt like coming home to her own energy, and how that moment opened a surprising path of self-discovery. We unpack common Reiki misconceptions, including the idea that every Reiki session is rainbows and relaxation, and why emotional release can be exactly what the nervous system needs to downregulate and reset. We also talk about being an empath, energetic boundaries, and why energetic hygiene matters so you don’t finish a day of client work feeling depleted.For anyone balancing family life, a day job, or the pressure to “do it the right way,” Jessie Rudi, offers practical, doable self-Reiki habits: quick morning scans, hands on heart, a Reiki shower, and the simple phrase “Reiki, be with me.” We also get into slowing down as a spiritual practice, how to tell when something is yours versus the collective, and what it looks like to grow a grounded Reiki business with integrity. Jessie Rudi, recommends two standout reads for Reiki practitioners and empaths and shares how she’s expanding her work to support babies, kids, and parents through big life transitions.Jessie Rudi, PhD is a Reiki Master, teacher, mentor, energy practitioner, and founder of Clearly Connected Healing based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Reiki can be life-changing,  it can also come with rules that make you second-guess yourself. I’m joined by Jayne Goodsir , a reclamation mentor and spiritual visionary based in Scotland, to talk about what happens when Reiki training leaves people with more questions than clarity and how to find your way back to authentic connection.We get into spiritual sovereignty, why “permission-based” Reiki culture can quietly strip practitioners of confidence, and how to hold respect for tradition without turning it into dogma.  Jayne Goodsirshares why she stopped relying on hierarchy and started building a spirit-led Reiki approach rooted in direct connection, discernment, and what feels coherent in real life. We also unpack common controversies with nuance: attunements, online training, distance Reiki, and why different lineages can coexist without turning into battles.Then we go practical. If you’ve ever felt drained after a client session, Jayne Goodsir explains energetic bleed and the difference between using your personal energy versus letting universal life force energy do the work. We talk energetic hygiene, the hollow bone state, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing foundation behind boundaries, intuition, and sustainable energy work.Jayne is a Reiki Reclamation Mentor & Spiritual Visionary.  She supports qualified and aspiring Reiki practitioners to reclaim authentic connection through Spiritual sovereignty, as opposed to hierarchy, dogma and rigid structures, inside her online Spirit-led Reiki Pathway. Sovereign Reiki Reclamation Mentor& Spiritual Visionarywww.reikiredefined.comIf this conversation helps you breathe easier, share it with a Reiki friend, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, and leave a review to help more practitioners find the show.

Your body is not ignoring your affirmations, it’s protecting you. When your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, “trying harder” with your mind can feel like using the wrong tool for the job, and that’s where Reiki and somatic healing can finally click together in a grounded way.We’re joined by Wesley Elliott, founder of Ahó Healing Arts in Plano, Texas, to talk about what changed when Reiki found him during a personal turning point and why he now blends energy work with bodywork and nervous system awareness. Wesley breaks down the biggest misconceptions he hears about Reiki and energy healing, including the idea that the mind and body are separate or that Reiki is only relaxation. We explore what it looks like when healing becomes participatory, where the client’s own awareness and readiness matter as much as the practitioner’s skill.Then we dig into transpersonal somatic therapy, the modality Wesley co-created, combining physical touch, somatic awareness, intuitive guidance, and energetic awareness in one consent-based, trauma-aware approach. We also cover practical guidance for choosing a Reiki practitioner or Reiki master teacher, why presence and humility are non-negotiable, and what to expect when you’re building confidence and trying to turn Reiki into a real profession. Along the way, we touch on lineage-based patterns, community healing spaces, and accessible resources like free classes and self-guided tools.Wesley Elliott is a visionary healer, teacher, and space holder devoted to guiding individuals and communities through deep, embodied transformation.

Crisis work changes your body, even when you’re “fine” on the outside.  Andrea Ochitwaspent nearly two decades in emergency communications supporting people through high-stress, life-changing moments, and eventually had to step away due to occupational PTSD. We sit down together to talk about what recovery really demands: time, nervous system awareness, and tools that help you feel safe inside your own skin again.Andrea shares how Reiki found her twice, first through an unexpected table session that opened the floodgates of release, and later through formal Reiki training that helped her rebuild steadiness and trust. We unpack common misconceptions about Reiki (yes, including the “religion or cult” assumptions), and we get honest about what ethical Reiki practice should look like: confidentiality, consent, non-judgment, transparent training, and clear boundaries that include referring out for counseling or medical care when needed.Then we go somewhere you might not expect: Reiki in photography. Andrea explains how self-Reiki helps her enter animal spaces grounded and calm, how she asks permission before offering Reiki, and how that respectful energy can support domesticated animals and even wildlife. We also cover practical regulation strategies you can use today, from breathwork and nature to meditation styles that actually fit your nervous system.Andrea is a Calgary-based wellness facilitator, meditation teacher, and Reiki Master with nearly two decades of experience in emergency communications with the local police service.Through her work in emergency services, Andrea developed a deep understanding of stress, trauma, and how chronic pressure affects the nervous system.

You can do years of “good” personal work and still feel like something is missing, especially when healing stays stuck in your head. That’s why this conversation lands so deeply: we sit down with Ren Oberhill, a licensed counselor and experienced energy practitioner, to explore what changes when Reiki becomes part of real-world healing and not just a separate add-on.We talk about growing up sensitive and intuitive, learning to shut that down when it didn’t feel safe, and how that same drive to understand people led Ren into counseling, academia, and private practice. Over time, she noticed many clients could explain their patterns perfectly, yet still felt unintegrated and unembodied. Adding Reiki and spiritual attunement brought a different kind of progress: less strain in the room, more compassion, and a nervous system that can finally settle enough to transform.We also get practical about Reiki misconceptions and Reiki safety. What do you do with the fear that “Reiki can harm you”? How do you choose a Reiki practitioner who holds a safe field? We dig into consent, touch boundaries, intakes, and why no healer should act like the authority over your life. Ren also shares her go-to stress relief tools for helpers, plus book recommendations on empaths, intuition, mindfulness, and complex trauma.Ren is a licensed Counselor and Energy Practitioner with over 18 years of experience walking alongside individuals through healing and life transitions. She is deeply passionate about supporting both people and animals, creating intentional spaces where clients can slow down, reconnect, and listen to their inner wisdom.Her work centers around Holistic Clarity Sessions, which blend Reiki, hypnotherapy, body-based awareness, and intuitive practices. Ren’s approach is grounded in safety, autonomy, and attunement—allowing each session to unfold at a pace that honors the client’s nervous system and spirit. Through Reiki, she supports deep relaxation, emotional clarity, and a reconnection to one’s inner knowing.Ren has been studying and practicing Usui and Angelic Reiki for over three years and is Animal Reiki Certified through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). She continues to deepen her practice through ongoing education and devotion to her craft.Ren’s work was recently recognized in Reiki News Magazine, where her article, “The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice,” was published in the Spring 2026 issue.At the heart of Ren’s philosophy is the belief that healing should empower—not create dependency. Her work is intentionally short-term and alignment-based, helping clients build trust in themselves so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. She believes that many of the struggles people face stem from a core wound around not feeling safe to be fully themselves, and her work gently supports the restoration of balance across mind, body, and spirit.Ren is devoted to helping others reconnect with their gifts, their purpose, and their joy.Ren Oberhill, MA, LPC Counselor & Reiki Practitioner6rayhealing.comIf you’re curious about Reiki for anxiety, energy healing alongside therapy, or simply rebuilding self-trust, you’ll find grounded takeaways here.

Reiki is one of those things people love to argue about until they actually experience it. I sit down with Reiki Master , May Yeary certified integrative health coach who found Reiki by accident, resisted it at first, then watched it transform both her personal life and the way she helps clients heal.May shares her real world health story, including autoimmune struggles in her early 20s, the frustration of being dismissed, and the patience it took to reach remission. From there, we get into what brought her into energy work and why Reiki became a turning point for stress reduction, emotional healing, and feeling “clear” enough to take healthy action. We also talk about how Reiki can support the nervous system, why some people notice changes without long conversations, and what “cleaning house” can look like in daily life.We also address the  misconceptions: claims that Reiki is witchcraft, satanic, or a cult, plus the gatekeeping that can show up even among practitioners. If you’ve ever wondered how to pick a Reiki practitioner, we cover what matters most, why a discovery call can save you time, and the simple but important test of whether you feel safe and supported.May Yeary  is a Reiki Master and Certified Integrative Health Coach devoted to helping others heal on every level, mind, body, and spirit.

Your hair appointment can be more than beauty maintenance. When someone is working around your head, listening closely, and helping you feel like yourself again, there’s already an energy exchange happening and most of us can feel it even if we don’t have a name for it. That’s why I invited  Liana Zee a Las Vegas hairdresser and Holy Fire Reiki Level 2 practitioner, to share how she blends Reiki and hairdressing inside her private Henderson space, L Energy Salon and Reiki Studio. We talk honestly about the biggest misconception she hears: “You believe in Reiki?” Liana breaks it down in a grounded way Reiki isn’t a religion and it isn’t reserved for one type of person. You don’t have to believe in anything specific to benefit, but you do have to be open to receiving. From first-time Reiki experiences that feel warm and emotional to sessions that are subtle but deeply calming, we explore why people often walk out feeling balanced, steady, and like a weight finally lifted. We also get practical about your healing journey: letting go of control, learning to trust intuition, and choosing a Reiki practitioner or Reiki teacher you genuinely feel safe with. If you’re curious about mixing energy work with your current career, Liana shares advice on learning the structure, then finding your own authentic way of working. She also points to resources like What The Bleep Do We Know and the value of Reiki circles and community support. a hairdresser with over 20 years of experience and a Holy Fire III Usui Reiki 2 practitioner on the path to becoming Master. Working behind the chair has always been about connection for me—holding space for people, listening, and helping them feel like their best selves.That natural connection with people eventually led me to energy work. I now run L Energy Salon & Reiki studio in Henderson, where I combine my passion for helping people look and feel their best—both physically and energetically.

Your animal isn’t a passive client, they’re an active participant with preferences, boundaries, and surprisingly clear opinions. We sit down with Nancy Welsh, a Reiki master specializing in animal Reiki, to unpack what actually changes when you stop treating pets like tiny humans and start honoring consent, safety, and choice. We share stories from real sessions, including why animals often want only a few minutes of Reiki, how they “ask” for energy in their own language, and what it means to offer Reiki without overwhelming a cage, tank, or room.From there, we go deeper into the emotional side of the work. Nancy opens up about grief, self-love, and the heavy feeling so many pet guardians carry after a transition: I didn’t do enough. We talk about caretaker fatigue, forgiveness, and why validating pet loss grief matters when the world tries to minimize it. We also address behavioral euthanasia, the judgment that can surround it, and the need for supportive spaces like the Losing Lulu community for guardians and animal professionals.We also get practical about choosing a Reiki practitioner, the role of intuitive healing, and why distance Reiki can be a game changer for anxious pets who do best at home. If you’re searching for Reiki for pets, animal communication adjacent insights, or compassionate end-of-life support, this conversation offers grounded guidance and real comfort.

You can’t see energy, so how do you know Reiki and energy healing are doing anything at all? I sit down with Tania Ho, an intuitive soul guide and the founder of Museflower Retreat and Spa in Thailand, to get practical about what energy work feels like, why people doubt it, and how you can test it through experience instead of trying to “prove” it with perfect logic.  Tania Ho, shares how Reiki found her early, why she finally trained at 21, and how that first attunement changed the way she understood life, healing, and her own sensitivity. We also talk modalities and daily practice.  Tania Ho, explains what she loves about Magnified Healing, how she uses it alongside Reiki, and why meditation stays at the center of her spiritual routine. If you’re a healer, a lightworker, or simply a sensitive person who feels everything, we dig into energetic basics that matter in real life: grounding your energy, clearing energy, and protecting your energy so your gift doesn’t become exhaustion. Then we get honest about the business side of a wellness life.  Tania Ho, opens up about a difficult split with an ex-business partner who was also a teacher, how that shook her trust, and how rebuilding helped her reclaim purpose. She shares what she looks for when hiring or receiving from energy workers, why “walking your talk” beats a flashy credential, and why getting experience at a retreat center before renting your own space can save you years of stress. You’ll also hear where to find Tanya’s Tania Ho’s retreats, online oracle card readings, and a free seven-card oracle pull designed for clarity. Tania Ho, Intuitive Soul Guide & Owner of Museflower Retreat & Spa  Tania serves as an intuitive soul guide to help you find clarity and inspiration in your next step.

Reiki can arrive in the most unexpected places and sometimes at the hardest time of your life. I’m joined by Lorena Rodrigo, a Reiki master, yoga teacher, and sound meditation practitioner based in the UK, whose path shifted when she received Reiki in the hospital during breast cancer treatment. She shares what it felt like to go into chemotherapy with Reiki support, why it helped her reconnect to her own energy, and how that experience turned into a lifelong commitment to deep listening and real presence.We also get honest about the messy parts of the wellness world. Lorena and I talk about common Reiki misconceptions, why you don’t need “special powers” to practice energy healing, and how to spot green flags in a Reiki practitioner or teacher. If you’ve ever felt put off by labels, gatekeeping, or performative spirituality, you’ll appreciate her grounded take: find what you resonate with, trust your intuition, and choose practitioners who feel sincere and safe.In our listener Q and A, we dig into sound healing and the nervous system, including how vibration can influence the vagus nerve, support the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response, and help the brain shift into meditative states through entrainment. Lorena also shares her go-to practices for overwhelm, her commitment to daily self-Reiki, favorite instruments, plus how to find her work, trainings, and retreat offerings.Lorena Rodrigo is a Reiki Master and guide of sound and stillness — a certified Sound Meditation Guide and teacher of Anusara, Yin, Pregnancy and Restorative Yoga, based in Reading, UK. Her work is devoted to the art of listening as a pathway into presence, attunement and subtle awareness.Rooted in Reiki mastery, Lorena approaches vibration as a universal language — waves of resonance moving through the vast ocean of consciousness.

Her sound meditations unfold as sensory journeys where time softens and awareness expands.Drawing on the rich overtones of gongs, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, harp, shamanic drums, rain sticks and voice, Lorena guides participants through layers of vibration that support nervous system regulation, inner clarity and profound stillness — inviting each person to listen to the subtle tides moving within and around them.Lorena RodrigoYoga / Reiki / Sound [email protected] to Ready Set Reiki, share this conversation with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Mini Bernedoodles for saleMini Bernedoodle puppies for sale.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. 

The fastest way to lose confidence in your Reiki path is to feel like you have to do it “the one right way” or wear a title that doesn’t even fit. I’m joined by Carrie Varella, founder of Reiki Healing Society, co-host of the Reiki Women Podcast, and creator of the GoPro Reiki mentorship program, for an honest conversation about what it means to grow as a Reiki practitioner and build a sustainable Reiki business without getting trapped by hierarchy, hype, or rigid rules.We talk about how Reiki found Carrie through yoga, what it’s like to study multiple Reiki lineages (including the shift into Holy Fire Reiki), and why one of the biggest Reiki misconceptions is confusing Reiki energy healing with spiritual mediumship. We also get into the online Reiki training debate after COVID: what changes, what stays the same, and why the real measure of a good Reiki course is whether students leave feeling clear, capable, and supported. If you’ve been searching for learn Reiki online, distance Reiki, Reiki attunement, or Reiki certification, you’ll hear a grounded take that centers ethics and accessibility.Then we go deeper into the language we use. Carrie shares why she no longer feels called to use the term “Reiki master,” how decolonization principles can help us question titles and power dynamics, and why cultural appropriation matters in the world of Reiki and yoga. We close with practical Reiki business support: mentorship, community, income streams, and the upcoming Reiki Business Summit where practitioners can connect and grow together.Carrie Varela is the founder of the Reiki Healing Society, co-host of the Reiki Women Podcast and creator of the Go Pro with Reiki Mentorship Program.

Two hundred episodes doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you keep showing up, especially after grief, fear, and the moments where you wonder if you can even speak with confidence again. I’m Tracy Seawright, and this anniversary reflection pulls back the curtain on why Ready Set Reiki exists, how it grew, and what I’ve learned from building a Reiki and energy healing podcast rooted in service rather than sales.I share the surprising push that started it all, including a “pay-to-play” media pitch that didn’t sit right, and why I chose to create a free platform where Reiki practitioners can share their stories at no cost. Along the way, I talk about my own Reiki journey, from early exposure to Reiki, to returning during the pandemic, to moving through deep grief and rebuilding confidence through daily self-Reiki, prayer, and consistency. If you’ve ever felt called to help others while still healing yourself, you’ll recognize that path.We also get practical. I break down what Reiki is (universal life force energy), why it’s a stress-reducing complementary therapy, and how to start in a way that feels safe and clear. We talk about choosing between in-person and online Reiki sessions, finding an ethical Reiki practitioner, asking what a session includes, and exploring Reiki training options like Usui Reiki and Holy Fire Reiki. I also name common misconceptions, explain intuitive vs systematic styles, and remind you that Reiki respects free will.If this resonates, listen through, share it with someone who needs calm, and then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find Reiki, self-healing tools, and supportive community.

Your home can look fine on the outside and still feel wrong in your body. If you’ve ever walked into your own space and felt your shoulders tighten, your energy drop, or your mind start racing, you’re not imagining it. I sit down with Lisa Morton, a feng shui master teacher, holistic interior designer, and Reiki master, to talk about what “aligned at home” really means when real life is messy, stressful, and loud. Lisa shares her journey from designing luxury private jet interiors to finding energy healing through Reiki during a period of burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism. We talk about the moment Reiki finally made her feel lighter, why that experience pushed her to train, and how she began experimenting with Reiki in houses before going deeper into feng shui and distance space clearing. Along the way, we explore what to look for in a Reiki practitioner or teacher, and why genuine connection matters more than doing everything “the right way.” From there we get practical. Lisa breaks down instinctive feng shui, how a bagua map can overlay your floor plan like an energetic compass, and why virtual feng shui consultations can be surprisingly powerful with nothing more than a conversation and a simple layout. We also answer listener questions about her Intuitive Home Method, a 30-day transformation that helps you look past décor and into what your body and family actually need. And yes, we go there: cacti, poison arrows, and how sharp shapes can subtly stress your nervous system over time. Lisa Morton is a designer, Feng Shui master teacher, and the creator of the Intuitive Home Method. For 20+ years she's transformed homes, businesses, and even luxury private aircraft interiors.

Special podcasthon episode Your body can spot the truth long before your mind can explain it, and that might be the missing piece in your Reiki journey. I sit down with Jen T Peterson, a self-trust igniter and shamanic Reiki master teacher, to talk about what happens when “strategy” is not the problem and the real issue is internal noise, fear, and energy that is not even yours to carry. We get honest about one of the biggest Reiki misconceptions: the idea that a practitioner is “doing Reiki” to someone. Jen breaks down how Reiki healing really works when we focus on being a clear channel for source energy, and why forcing outcomes can create more stress, more burnout, and more confusion. From visibility and leadership to decision making and momentum, we explore how self-trust becomes practical when you learn to read clear body signals like expansion and contraction. We also go deep on boundaries for empaths, coaches, and healers. We talk about how overgiving knocks your energy out of balance, why “feel the fear and do it anyway” can backfire, and what it looks like to release fear first so you can be seen without self-abandonment. Plus, Jen shares unforgettable stories from equine-assisted coaching at a horse rescue, including moments where horses seem to identify energy blocks faster than the humans in the room. Jenn T Peterson is the Self-Trust Igniter™ who works with women when internal noise disrupts clarity, decisions, and momentum. She’s brought in when strategy isn’t the issue, something beneath it is interfering with visibility, boundaries,s or leadership. Jenn defines visibility as being seen and leadership as staying true once you are. Her work restores clarity so decisions hold and women move forward without force or self-abandonment.If you enjoy Reiki, energy work, intuition, and grounded spiritual business advice, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Mini Bernedoodles for saleMini Bernedoodle puppies for sale.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. 

Reiki can sound mysterious until you hear what it looks like in real life: a teenager with a headache, a mother places her hands, tingling starts, sleep takes over, and the pain is gone. I’m Tracy C. Wright, and I’m joined by Archit Shivastov, a Mumbai-based multimodality healer with a foundation in Reiki, to unpack how energy healing becomes practical, repeatable, and deeply personal even for people raised in science-minded environments.We talk openly about Reiki skepticism and the biggest misconception I hear from listeners: that you must feel energy right away for Reiki to “count.” Archit shares how he meets doubt with compassion, why Reiki is showing up more in hospitals and schools, and what matters most when choosing a Reiki practitioner: respect for free will, no grand promises, and a space where you can speak without judgment. If you’re navigating a spiritual awakening, we also dig into divine timing, intuition, and why comparing your gifts to someone else’s path can shut your own growth down.Archit also explains how he blends Reiki with Bach flower remedies, sound healing, and graphology (handwriting and signature analysis) to customize support for the whole person. One story stands out: using Bach flower remedies to address emotional roots after Reiki progress stalls, leading to major improvement for a child with eczema. We close with somatic healing, nervous system care, Reiki for senior pets, and a powerful reminder that human connection still matters in the age of AI. Archit Srivastav is a multi-modality healer with a foundation in Reiki,integrating Bach Flower Remedies to support physical, mental andemotional well-being. With over 5 years of experience, he has helpedclients worldwide find lasting relief from pain, stress, and chronicconditions.

Feeling stretched thin and strangely numb at the same time? We sit down with nurse, coach, and Reiki practitioner Kathleen Ahern to explore what happens when caregiving collides with chronic stress—and how a return to caring science and somatic awareness can reset the system. Kathleen shares how burnout showed up as literal pain, why a five-minute Reiki tune-up changed her trajectory, and what trusting herself did for her work, relationships, and daily calm.We dig into myths around Reiki with plain talk, using the wind as a metaphor for unseen but obvious effects, and spotlight the role of intention in shaping outcomes. Kathleen walks us through her search for the right teacher and why nervous system safety matters more than credentials alone. From distance attunements that opened unexpected imagery to a clinical encounter that taught her what not to accept, her stories underline a core lesson: the container is the practice. You will also hear a clear, accessible toolkit for high-stress moments—temperature shifts, brief movement, paced breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation—plus how she blends Reiki, tarot, and lifestyle medicine for tailored support.Listener questions push us further: why modern work keeps us keyed up, how to build an “emergency calm plan,” and why self-trust moves us from fear to love. Kathleen shares tiered self-care for green, yellow, and red days so rest becomes doable, not aspirational. Along the way, we swap book recommendations, talk boundaries, and reframe progress as compassionate consistency.

What if the most powerful healing isn’t a single breakthrough, but a steady rhythm your life learns to trust? We sit down with integrative healer and U.S. Army veteran Carla Cunningham to unpack how Reiki, sound healing, massage, and somatic breathwork can work together to create deep, lasting change. Her story moves from early motherhood and licensing requirements to a calling that became a full-spectrum practice, grounded in presence, compassion, and the courage to say no when she isn’t resourced.We explore two big myths that hold people back: that Reiki conflicts with faith, and that one session is enough. Carla reframes Reiki as universal life energy that meets people across beliefs and backgrounds, then walks us through why consistent sessions outperform quick fixes. Drawing on historical clinic records and years of practice, she explains how repeated, focused protocols can help the nervous system unwind and the body integrate change. Along the way, we compare modalities—how a single sound bath can open a door, while ongoing Reiki and breathwork build resilience over time.Safety becomes the throughline. From trauma-informed sound journeys to practical signals clients can use mid-session, Carla details how volume, frequency, and pacing can either ground or trigger. We talk gear and training, too: intention and embodiment matter more than the price tag, and good practitioners keep learning, referring out when needed, and honoring their own self-care. For anyone choosing a healer, we share markers of fit—clear communication, ethical boundaries, and lived practice—plus simple ways to weave energy care into daily life with brief self-Reiki and breath resets.We wrap with real-world access points: rebranding her practice to reflect integrative care, hosting events like floating sound baths, and launching trainings that expand reach without losing depth. If you’re tired of quick fixes and ready to build a healing lifestyle, this conversation offers a grounded map and warm encouragement to start where you are.

What if your body could find calm before your mind believes it? That’s the doorway we walk through with Dr. Leslie Wester—Reiki master, yoga teacher, brainspotting practitioner, educator, and proud “healing unicorn”—as we explore how energy work becomes real the moment you feel it in your bones. From early distance sessions with her mother to leading clients through gentle nervous system resets, Leslie shows how authentic practice beats perfect explanations every time.We dive into two stubborn myths: that Reiki requires belief and that it’s a religion. Leslie’s stories reveal a different truth—clients often notice warmth, tingles, or emotional release first, then decide what it means later. When spiritual images arise, they belong to the client’s inner world, not a doctrine. We pair that clarity with a practical brainspotting demo you can try right away: find one calm point in your body, breathe into it, and let steadiness expand. It’s simple, somatic, and surprisingly effective for anxiety.The conversation turns honest about impostor syndrome and the pressure to follow a single “right” business path. Leslie’s journey—earning a doctorate, teaching at a community college, blending modalities, choosing mobility over a fixed studio—reminds us that success follows resonance, not rigid rules. Seeds take time. Referrals grow where you keep showing up. Self-care is non-negotiable; if you don’t schedule recovery, life will schedule it for you. And when choosing a practitioner, trust the energetic fit. Credentials matter, but your nervous system knows when it feels safe.You’ll also find favorite resources, including Women Who Run With the Wolves, and ways to work with Leslie through one-on-one Reiki, distance sessions, yoga classes near O’Hare, and online workshops. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned teacher, this is a warm, clear guide to letting intuition lead, honoring timing, and finding joy in the process.Dr. Leslie Wester - Reiki master, Reiki teacher, Brainspotting practitioner, yoga teacher, meditation and self-care guide, overall unicorn.Leslie was first introduced to Reiki in the early 2000s when her Mother became a Reiki master and began sharing the universal energy with her. In 2018 Leslie received her first and second attunements with Usui Reiki and began practicing on friends, family, and animals. In 2025, she received a calling to finish her Reiki master training and then Reiki teacher training and started Healing Unicorn to share these services with the public.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs calm, and leave a review to help more listeners find their way.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showReady Set Reiki is a journey From the curious beginner to the Season Master Teacherwww.readysetreiki.comSend in your questions [email protected] you. 

Some stories are loud with chaos. Matthew Goldstein’s story is quiet with courage. From the ache of early labels and the lure of numbing to the steady work of sobriety, he found a path through Reiki that asked him to feel what he once ran from then showed him how to let it move.We sit down with Matthew, a newly certified Reiki Master teacher and founder of Divine Alignment with Reiki Master Matt, to trace the moments that mattered: distance sessions that cracked open old emotions, the choice to meet them with honesty, and the surprising peace that followed. He dismantles a common myth.Reiki as a quick fix—and explains why real change combines energy work with daily responsibility. We explore the five Reiki principles as living practices, not pretty quotes, and why “just for today” turns overwhelm into momentum.Matthew shares how he chooses practitioners who lead with humility, how recovery tools and Reiki complement each other, and why working with clients navigating ADD and addiction feels like coming home. You’ll hear practical advice for beginners, a book recommendation that keeps the work accessible, and how distance healing can feel deeply connected across states and oceans. Most of all, you’ll leave with a humane roadmap: name what hurts, sit long enough to hear it, and build your new life one honest day at a time.Matthew Goldstein is a certified Reiki Master Teacher.He was attuned to level 2 Reiki in  2021 and have been getting treatments done since 2018.

What if the most powerful shift in your life began with letting go of what kept you small? We sit down with Coventina Waterhawk ; intuitive guide, Reiki master teacher, and award-winning author—for a raw, uplifting journey through forty years of dual diagnosis recovery, stigma-busting advocacy, and the quiet, persistent healing of Reiki.Coventina takes us from early tarot readings in a metaphysical shop to discovering Reiki and an unexpected gift of mediumship. She explains why energy work is often subtle yet profound, how skepticism fades in the face of lived outcomes, and why daily practice builds clarity, calm, and resilience. Along the way, we unpack common misconceptions about Reiki and energy healing, and we discuss how breathwork, visualization, and compassionate structure help people navigate anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and grief.This conversation doesn’t look away from hard truths. Coventina shares being dismissed by providers, judged for symptoms, and told she didn’t “look suicidal.” She makes a compelling case for treating mental health like physical health, with symptom literacy and real support. You’ll hear how releasing decades-old, draining friendships unlocked momentum: book awards, community work, radio and TV interviews, and teaching in a holistic IOP for dual diagnosis. Her book, Dually Diagnosed, Dually Blessed: From Struggle To Purpose, amplifies diverse recovery stories and offers practical tools for families to help without enabling.We also get tactical. You’ll learn what a session with Coventina looks lik from guided breath to card reading for clarity to Reiki for integratio plus how to vet practitioners, trust intuition, and choose practices that resonate.

Healing can feel like trying to untie a knot in the dark or until someone hands you a light. We sat down with licensed mental health counselor and trauma specialist Elisa to explore how Reiki, somatic practices, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can open real paths to relief without promising quick fixes. From immigrant beginnings to a life devoted to service, Elisa shares how spiritual practice and science meet in everyday tools that restore calm, clarity, and hope.We trace her first encounters with Reiki and why it became a foundation for both self care and client work. We dig into the biggest misconceptions around energy healing, what “holding space” actually looks like, and the qualities that make a trustworthy practitioner: gentleness, humility, and an open mind. On the practical side, we break down grounding skills for sympathetic dominance, why small daily practices beat occasional breakthroughs, and how to tell your healing is working when life tests you—like choosing grace in traffic or meeting grief with breath.Alisa  also unpacks the neuroscience of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in clear, human terms. You’ll hear how increased neuroplasticity can help rewire stubborn patterns in depression, anxiety, and trauma, and why integration and habit-building matter more than any single session.

What if healing could be simpler, kinder, and closer to the bedside than we think? Tracy sits down with Teresa Morris a registered nurse, midwife, hospice caregiver, and longtime Reiki teacher—to map a path from conventional care to energy work that feels practical, ethical, and deeply human. Teresa shares how meditation led her to the Reiki symbols, why she shifted from Healing Touch to Reiki’s non-directive intelligence, and how quiet intention can ease a hospital room without calling attention to itself.The heart of the conversation is grief and growth. After losing her mother, Teresa turned to the chakra system to understand pain at its source, pairing Reiki with clear questions that help clients locate beliefs, patterns, and relief. She walks through accessible tools with journaling before and after meditation, using lavender to calm the limbic system, grounding with crystaland offers clinicians discreet ways to support patients: holding a hand with intention, blessing medication, sending distant Reiki after a shift.

What if your calm isn’t missing—it’s trapped under old emotions that your nervous system is ready to release? We sit down with Michelle Ward, a certified self-sabotage and Emotion Code practitioner, to unpack how stored emotional energy shapes habits, health, and the stories we live by. From early conditioning and religious taboos to quantum-informed perspectives, we explore the real-world shifts that happen when protection patterns melt, and your heart feels safe again.We trace Michelle’s evolution from nutrition coaching into energy work and talk candidly about the moment thinking harder stopped helping. She explains why belief isn’t required for results, how muscle testing can identify emotions ready to move, and what a “heart wall” is—and why dismantling it can transform connection, purpose, and self-worth.

What happens when you strip Reiki down to what actually works? We sit with Nicholas Pearson—award-winning author, teacher, and lifelong student—to explore how simplicity, scholarship, and sincere practice can transform both our sessions and ourselves. Nicholas shares how “one Reiki” expresses through many systems without losing its center, why the precepts are more than nice words on a wall, and how surrender often invites the most profound change.We dig into the living history of Reiki with new research that traces transnational roots and dispels narrow myths. Nicholas shows how a flexible, evidence-informed approach strengthens tradition rather than weakens it, and he offers clear criteria for choosing teachers who practice what they preach. We also step into Let Animals Lead, a mindful, consent-driven way to support animals that subtly reshapes how we show up for people too—less fixing, more presence, deeper care.For practitioners curious about integrating tools, Nicholas outlines an ethical path for using crystals without muddying the work: keep hands-on time clean, disclose add-ons, and let stones support presence instead of becoming the main act. He also previews Reiki Rituals, his forthcoming book on the embodied actions—gassho, precepts, hands-on healing, sacred space—that reliably open the door to non-ordinary awareness. Across lineages, he finds a common heart that invites collaboration over competition.If you’re ready to refine your practice, unlearn a few myths, and reconnect with the core of Reiki—clarity, humility, and daily devotion—this conversation will meet you where you are.

I want to empower you to take your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being into your own hands, with information you can trust.Early three decades ago, my childhood love for rocks was transformed when my grandfather gave me my very first proper mineral specimen: quartz from Hot Springs, Arkansas. From that day onward, my love for rocks and minerals crystallized into something special.I pursued school with academic rigor, diving headfirst into all areas of study. Science emerged as one of my favorite subjects; even as a child,d I read voraciously about natural history, earth science, ecology, and biology. Early on, I found another love in the realm of folklore, mythology, and world religion.Before long,ong I came to understand that both science and spirituality describe a lot of the same phenomena: one through the tangible and quantifiable, the other through meaning and metaphor. Ever since, I’ve strived to be a bridge between the two, allowing each one to enrich my understanding of the other.I attended Stetson University on a music scholarship with the intention of being a music educator after graduating.

What if the first step to real healing isn’t hustle or “positive vibes,” but feeling safe enough to hear yourself again? That question threads through our conversation with Carolyn Wood, a certified heart healer, hypnotherapist, and mind coach whose path from early loss to purposeful service will resonate with anyone navigating burnout, grief, or the quiet ache of “not enough.”We start with Carolyn’s turning point—recognizing a lifetime of anxiety that felt normal until it didn’t—and move into the practices that changed her trajectory: rapid transformational therapy, EFT tapping, Reiki, and heart healing. She breaks down what hypnotherapy actually is (heightened focus, not mind control), why subconscious memories can freeze at the age we first felt an emotion, and how revisiting those moments with compassion frees the adult self to choose differently. Along the way, we tackle the scarcity mindset, the hidden loops steering our decisions, and the body’s role in carrying what the mind avoids.Carolyn also shares the inspiration behind her High Vibe Besties Book Club and her new Feel Good Academy, designed to start where most programs don’t—creating safety—then exploring core wounds like enoughness, love, worth, acceptance, and trust. We swap practical tools for handling daily triggers, discuss what to look for in a practitioner who honors heart, mind, body, and soul, and highlight books that actually land: The Four Agreements, Anatomy of the Spirit, and The Alchemist.

What if change could feel easier than you’ve been told? We sit down with hypnotherapist and color coach  Laura Ordile to explore how subconscious work, NLP, and energy practices can loosen old loops, quiet anxiety, and turn insight into lasting action. Laura shares why hypnosis became her “practical” choice, how early protective parts can keep us stuck, and what it takes to update those patterns with compassion instead of force.We dig into common myths—no one can make you cluck like a chicken without consent—and focus on what actually happens in a session: integration, not erasure; movement, not suppression. Laura explains the “root-and-weed” model of trauma, how NLP unhooks intense emotion from memories in minutes, and why emotions are meant to pass through rather than define our days. For the skeptics and the curious alike, she offers grounded examples: easing IBS and chronic pain, untangling anxiety, and helping habits shift when willpower alone falls short.One of the most surprising tools is color. White for clarity, blue for truth, green for abundance—anchoring your intention with a visible cue trains the mind to gather the right signals from the world. We also share how to choose a practitioner you trust, what red flags to avoid, and why falling asleep during deep work can be a sign your system finally feels safe.

A New Year of Reiki Set Reiki What if your skincare routine could carry intention—and your healing practice could carry itself? Tracy sits down with  Mayumi Pachkoski, a Japan-born aesthetician and energy healer who built a six-figure salon from scratch and now mentors practitioners to grow with clarity, ethics, and calm. From her early skepticism to the moment clients began feeling “something more” in her facials, Mayumi shares how Reiki and kaizen turned curiosity into a credible business.We explore a lesser-known history: why many Japanese people never learned about Reiki post–World War II, and how the practice quietly resurfaced after flourishing abroad. That context reframes modern misconceptions—this isn’t a trend, it’s a resilient tradition. Mayumi also addresses client fears about “bad energy,” offering clear language for what actually shifts during a session: stagnation clears, flow returns, and life softens. She gives practical ways to bring energy into skincare—infusing products with intention, engaging palm chakras during cleansing, and visualizing renewal—so everyday rituals become mini tune-ups.Then we get tactical. Mayumi’s business guidance blends mindset and mechanics: start on the side while you save, invest in real business skills, price with self-respect, and focus growth on one lever at a time. She explains how money is simply energy in motion, how to release guilt around charging, and why consistency beats aesthetics for ROI. We talk boundaries, referrals when your calendar is full, entity choices, and the underrated power of “Reiki-ing” your business—goals, systems, and finances included.If you’re a healer ready to grow without burnout, this conversation offers a grounded map: fewer, better moves, repeated with intention.

What if the strongest medicine is the moment you finally trust your body? Our conversation with Dr. Emma Wagner travels from a guardian angel’s nudge at age twelve to the grounded science of chiropractic and the subtle art of energy work. Emma shows how anatomy, mindset, and spirit can live in the same room, letting pain teach without letting it define you. Her story of emergency C‑section recovery reframes healing as surrender plus smart habits: anti-inflammatory nutrition, nervous system regulation, and consistent hands-on care.We dig into a hot-button topic: can faith and energy work coexist? Emma’s approach is radically respectful—no dogma, no conversion, just clear boundaries and open channels so clients stay rooted in their beliefs while exploring their own energy. If the word Reiki triggers you, you’ll hear a compassionate reframe. We also unpack practical strategy: how to choose a practitioner, why weekly tune-ups beat crisis care, and how intention, touch, and alignment change an adjustment from mechanical to transformative. Along the way, we talk about journaling early insights so they don’t vanish, using intuition as a guidepost, and tailoring steps to the person in front of you rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all protocol.Whether you’re searching for holistic pain relief, curious about chiropractic and energy medicine together, or ready to build a sustainable self-care rhythm, you’ll find grounded wisdom and actionable steps.

What if the thing that once made you feel different became the compass that guides your life? We sit with Reiki practitioner and spiritual coach Kara Taylor to explore how childhood visitations, a life‑altering loss, and years in corporate shaped an empath who leads with feeling first. Kara shares the intimate arc from fairy footprints to a grounded Reiki practice, revealing how boundaries, discernment, and daily rituals can turn energetic overwhelm into steady clarity.We dive into the moment Reiki gave language to what her body already knew, and how learning the chakras reframed “too sensitive” as “highly attuned.” Kara talks candidly about setting limits with both people and spirit, why alignment matters more than aesthetics when choosing a practitioner, and how lunar cycles and the Schumann resonance can amplify what sensitives pick up. She also addresses common myths—especially the idea that Reiki is religious—offering a calm, inclusive view that honors faith while keeping the focus on energy, intention, and healing outcomes.For aspiring healers, Kara’s advice is refreshingly practical: release timelines, find mentors, hire help for the tasks that drain you, and build community before scaling. We also tour her services—one‑on‑one Reiki, empath coaching, NLP for limiting beliefs, and meditation support—and preview her 2026 beachfront retreat designed to help newcomers safely experience modalities like sound baths, yoga, and mini Reiki sessions.If this conversation brings you a sense of recognition or relief, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

She was raised in a home where expression and emotional safety were limited-her mother communicated through anger and intensity, while her father, an empath himself, kept his sensitivity quiet in a time when intuition was often labeled as "too much," "strange," or "woo woo." Growing up betweenemotional chaos and unspoken emotional depth shaped Kerith into an observer, a feeler, and eventually a seeker. While others made sense of life through what they could see, Kerith learned to navigate by what she could feel. Her sensitivity became her guidance system long before she had language for it.After years of pushing her sensitivity down to survive in both family dynamics and high-demand corporate environments, Kerith reached a point of awakening. She began exploring meditation, energy work, and somatic healing practices, and that is where she encountered Reiki. Her first experience with Reiki felt like remembering something ancient, like coming home to herself.From that moment, she committed to deep training and integration of Reiki as a foundation for her personal healing and for the work she now shares with others.Today, Kerith supports clients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals through Reiki, empath coaching, and healing workshops, with her first retreat currently being planned for 2026. Her mission is to help people understand their sensitivity not as a burden, but as a powerful internal guidance system. She teaches others how to ground, protect their energy, and live aligned with their truth.Kerith believes that empathy is a superpower-one the world needs now more than ever.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Mini Bernedoodles for saleMini Bernedoodle puppies for sale.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. 

A single word—courage—sets the tone for a raw, hopeful conversation with author and coach Nicole Gebhart about healing after pregnancy and infant loss. We open the door to her story of rock bottom, sobriety, and the moment energy work finally created space for relief when nothing else did. Nicole walks us through how Reiki eased anxiety and PTSD, why Holy Fire practices became daily anchors, and how faith and Reiki can coexist without conflict. She unpacks the biggest misconceptions she hears, then gets practical about what readiness looks like when change has to stick.From there, we explore the Emotion Code and how it complements Reiki by surfacing what the subconscious buries—assault, abuse, and grief that language alone can’t reach. Nicole shares how she chooses practitioners by resonance and trust, how she builds safety with clients by hearing their stories first, and why remembering key dates like Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day matters more than perfect words. We talk daily rituals that compound over time—mirror work, gratitude lists, journaling—and the power of service as structure: support groups she launches with every military move, coaching programs, and accessible Zoom circles for families who feel unmoored.For anyone stuck at a wall in therapy, searching for integrative healing, or curious about Reiki’s role in hospitals and trauma recovery, this conversation offers both validation and a path forward. You’ll leave with grounded tools, fresh perspectives on energy healing and faith, and an invitation to try the next right thing—especially when the old ways stop working.

Just practical, intentional adjustments that fit real homes and busy lives.We dive into why energy clearing comes first, how old experiences linger in fabrics and corners, and why starting small matters. Open the blinds, crack a window, clap into stuck spaces, and refresh before noon to wake the room. Then place remedies with clear intent so your environment becomes an ally. Mina shares the most common myths—like needing to declutter everything before you begin—and replaces them with a kinder, more workable approach. You’ll hear how annual updates each February keep your home aligned, why authenticity in a practitioner is crucial, and how virtual clearings can release heavy history from anywhere in the world.Meena Jagpal-Paré  is a Classical Feng Shui Master, Energy Clearing Guide, Manifestation Coach, and the founder of Momentum Feng Shui.

What happens when a fashion insider discovers that statement pieces are energetic tools and color is a form of medicine? We sit down with Colleen McCann, designer, stylist, author of Crystal RX, and the creator of Style Rituals, to explore how intention, wardrobe, and ritual can shift your field, sharpen your intuition, and support deep healing. From a raw, unfiltered spiritual awakening in New York City to building a practice that blends glamour and grounded technique, Colleen brings practical wisdom for anyone walking the path.We talk about the myths that trip up new practitioners—especially the idea that a weekend certificate makes a healer, and why lineage, mentorship, and daily self-care matter more than any title. Colleen shares how she chooses teachers, how to keep your energy clean when you work with clients, and why therapists have therapists and healers need healers. Tracy adds real-world stories about energetic hygiene, tech glitches during live sessions, and the surprising ways collective energy can reverberate through a home if it isn’t cleared.Space and land clearing take center stage as we unpack how properties hold memory and why some rooms feel “off” until they’re intentionally reset. Colleen’s work spans private sessions, brand events, corporate creativity tune-ups, and pre-build land grids with architects and designers. We also dive into crystal talismans, color strategy, and the small, repeatable rituals that make your day steadier and your presence stronger—on camera, at ceremony, or in the boardroom.If you’re a curious beginner, a seasoned master teacher, or a creative seeking a reset, this conversation offers tangible tools, honest stories, and a reminder that your practice will evolve as you do.

A single Reiki session changed everything. Rose describes seeing two baby bottles in a vision years before motherhood, then shares how that moment unfolded into twins, attunement, and a decades-long relationship with energy work. From there we step into the deeper layers: healing the mother wound after loss, navigating health challenges in her family, and discovering how Reiki can be a steady ally through uncertainty, creativity, and change.We talk about the shift from “woo” to grounded practice, and how simple language, lived stories, and consistency make Reiki tangible for anyone. Rose opens up about Empress Rising, her book that invites women to reclaim midlife as expansion, not diminishment.

What happens when a creative pro leaves the pace of advertising to pursue a life of calm, coherence, and service? We sit down with Reiki practitioner David Andrew Larsen to trace a midlife pivot that feels both daring and deeply practical. David shares how he blends classic Reiki with sound therapy, tuning forks, crystals, smudging, and alpha-wave soundscapes to help clients relax, sleep better, and release long-held stress. He talks candidly about starting over, moving through self-doubt, and letting the energy do the work—especially when the mind wants to control outcomes.We dive into real-world results, including stories of clients who went from skepticism to meaningful change within 24 hours of a session. David explains why distance Reiki isn’t as strange as it sounds by linking it to everyday experiences of resonance: music that moves you, news that stirs you, a voice that settles you over the phone. You’ll also hear how he builds person-centered sessions, tunes tools to chakras, and uses grounding to create safety and presence. For practitioners, he shares marketing lessons, explains why class titles matter, and offers guidance on iterating until the message resonates with the audience.Beyond techniques, this conversation is a love letter to community. We highlight the value of circles, summits, and business groups that replace gatekeeping with generosity, including spaces like Reiki Business Collective and Holistic Huddle. If you’re exploring energy healing, considering a career shift, or simply craving calmer days and better sleep, this story offers practical steps and encouragement to test the work for yourself. If it helps, keep going. If it doesn’t, tweak and try again.Enjoyed the conversation?

What if a single class could reroute an entire life? Georgia shares how a small Reiki workshop in the 90s became the catalyst for decades of healing and teaching across Reiki, astrology, and tarot. We explore the tangible realities behind the practice—why lineage matters, how to spot red flags in training, and what responsible support looks like when a healing crisis surfaces after attunement. It’s an unvarnished look at growth that is spiritual and practical at once.We open up the map of access and ethics. California’s hospitals welcome Reiki volunteers; Florida requires a massage license for hands-on work, shutting the door on experienced practitioners. Georgia walks us through the pivot from a thriving classroom community to an online practice after lockdowns, all while holding firm to a core principle: keep Reiki free and available where possible, and keep the boundaries clear. The contrast points to a larger truth many healers face—how to honor the work amid laws, bias, and fast-track certifications that skip mentorship and integration.The conversation dives into the subtle mechanics of intuition. Georgia describes Level 1 as physical, Level 2 as emotional, and Level 3 as spiritual—often opening the crown and a felt sense of oneness. That opening supports stronger insight for tarot and astrology, especially when learning shifts from memorized meanings to direct perception. We talk about choosing teachers, building real experience through circles, and staying humble about what Reiki can and cannot do. Along the way, Georgia shares stories that reveal the heart of the practice: care, courage, and a deepening connection to everything around us.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s curious about energy work, and leave a review to help others find Ready Set Reiki.

Curiosity meets clarity as we welcome Karen Harrison—senior licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training—to unpack what ethical, effective Reiki looks like in real life. Karen traces her journey from early study in the 1990s to training in Japan with lineage holders, and she shares how Reiki became both her spiritual anchor and a practical toolkit she uses every day.We dig into the myths: Why distance Reiki is often dismissed, why Reiki is not a religion, and how consent sits at the heart of ethical energy work. Karen explains how she blended counseling and Reiki without blurring lines—clear consent, defined roles, and simple techniques like Kenyoku and room clearing that help both therapist and client. Her insights on trauma care are striking: with completed events like past abuse or divorce, many clients see meaningful relief within two to four sessions, thanks to a gentle “timeline” approach that supports the nervous system without re-traumatizing it.If you’re building a Reiki practice, this conversation is a masterclass in sustainable growth. Karen talks candidly about keeping your day job while you establish your business, the kind of mentorship that actually helps, and the value of standardized training and pricing within the ICRT community. We also surface red flags—like teaching without consent, copying materials, or coercive boundaries—so you can choose teachers and practitioners who walk their talk. Along the way, Karen highlights resources, from The Reiki Business Book to Animal Reiki and her monthly “Reiki Call” for ongoing learning.More than techniques, this is a story about Reiki as a life tool: easing anxiety before surgery, repairing family bonds, strengthening clinicians, and opening a direct line to the sacred that you can feel. If you’re Reiki-curious, a practicing clinician, or a teacher shaping the next wave, you’ll find practical guidance and a welcoming path forward. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more listeners find us.Karen is a Senior Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), Co-Director of the ICRT Reiki Master Teacher Training Program, and teaches all levels of Usui / Holy Fire Reiki including Holy Fire Karuna Reiki® Master.

Looking for a Reiki community built on resonance rather than rivalry? We open up about attending the ICRT Reiki retreat in Sedona and how a weekend of shared ethics, standardized training, and immersive experiences can reset your practice and your purpose. From honoring Usui Sensei, Dr. Hayashi, and Hawayo Takata to integrating Holy Fire experiences, Animal Reiki, and Karuna Reiki, the conversation blends lineage with modern structure in a way that feels both grounded and alive.We walk through the tangible details that matter when you’re weighing value: room and meals included, a full schedule from early yoga through evening shares, live music that deepens presence, and five guided Reiki experiences in a single day. Just as crucial are the professional guardrails—pricing parity that lets students choose teachers by energy fit, a clear code of ethics, and a multi‑year Licensed Reiki Master Teacher path supported by mentorship. The result is a consistent student experience and a stronger foundation for anyone building a practice.Research and resources take center stage, too. We spotlight how evidence‑informed manuals and the latest articles in Reiki News Magazine help demystify claims and validate lineage stories with new historical findings about Usui Sensei. Whether you fly into Phoenix and shuttle to the red rocks or opt for the virtual retreat, you’ll find practical guidance, community connection, and renewed confidence in your work.

Ever wonder why some healing sessions feel profound while others feel like noise? We sit down with Violet Ray—author, educator, mystery school founder, and master teacher of Angelic, Fairy, and Violet Flame Reiki—to map the difference that lineage, structure, and sacred space make. From an HR executive career to building a thriving school and community, Violet’s story shows how curiosity becomes devotion and how daily practice quietly reshapes a life.We dive into the heart of Reiki as a personal practice—breath, self-treatment, and presence—before it becomes a service. Violet shares how reverence and study elevate results: clear consent, ethical sourcing, detailed manuals, and real feedback loops. We unpack red flags to avoid (ego claims of “only my way,” vague credentials, chaotic environments) and simple ways to choose a trustworthy teacher who cites sources, sets healthy boundaries, and runs a professional space. We also tackle pricing with integrity, access, and a realistic path from student to practitioner: practice sessions, testimonials, referrals, and gradual rate growth.Then we explore modality nuance. Fairy Reiki brings playfulness to inner child and trauma work, easing release without re‑wounding. Angelic Reiki opens ascension themes and compassionate perspective. Reiki with the Violet Flame invites gentle transmutation of stubborn patterns. We connect these tools with the Akashic Records—the Hall of Wisdom—to illuminate purpose, recurring life themes, and why timing matters for true integration. If you’re building a spiritual career, you’ll appreciate our pragmatic tips on avoiding burnout, creating sustainable schedules, and transitioning from “muggle” work with contracts, community, and patience.If you’re seeking grounded spirituality—ethics, structure, and wonder in equal measure—this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.

What if your daily energy practice was as ordinary—and essential—as brushing your teeth? We open with a clear look at Reiki as steady nervous system care and a quiet path to self-healing, then welcome author, intuitive guide, and coach Dina Berrin to  map how tarot, numerology, palmistry, astrology, and a delightfully simple charm system turn inner knowing into practical steps. Dina’s story travels from a grandmother’s astrology lessons to a New York tea party where a children’s event sparked a new divination language. Along the way, we challenge myths about “healers,” reframe subtle sessions as powerful, and show how consistency builds resilience before life gets loud.The conversation digs into burnout, boundaries, and the cost of a chronic yes. Tracy shares a cascade of wake-up calls that forced rest, and Dina offers a sharp metaphor: when we ignore signs, the universe finds louder ones. From there, we get tactical—what to look for in a practitioner (steadiness, humility, clarity, real boundaries), how to start your own path (curiosity over expectation), and why copying a teacher always falls short of your own rhythm. Books and tools surface as companions, not crutches: Reiki foundations for practice, Tara Mohr’s Playing Big to expand your voice, and Mary K. Greer’s tarot guides to deepen symbolic fluency.You’ll also hear a live charm reading that reveals why ordinary symbols—bicycles, spoons, ladders, moons—can carry extraordinary personal meaning. Dina’s Alignment Experience, a year-long program crafted around numerical cycles, offers an intimate container to clarify purpose, values, and timing so decisions feel clean and courageous. For those craving a quicker reset, she shares a 12-week path to break people-pleasing and build authentic choices that stick. The thread running through it all is simple and strong: alignment is a practice, intuition is learnable, and everyday rituals can change the way you move through work, family, and faith.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a gentle nudge, and leave a review to help others find our community.

Start with a skinned knee, add a mother’s hands, and watch doubt melt into curiosity. Our guest, Julie Ryan—medical intuitive, medium, inventor, and self-described “buffet of psychicness”—joins us to map the practical, grounded side of energy work: how Reiki opened a door, why consent and ethics are nonnegotiable, and what actually happens when you scan a body from across the world. We move past the mystery to show what clients feel, see, and gain when they participate in their own healing.We dig into the emotional roots of illness and Julie’s vivid model of the energy field membrane—a thin layer around the body where tears signal old wounds. Illuminate the originating event and the membrane seals; power returns; the system stabilizes. It’s a simple, memorable way to understand why stress, grief, and early hurts surface as symptoms years later. Along the way, Julie shares wild, beautiful moments: angels at the bedside, doctors flummoxed by “new” organs, and a visit from Pope Clement urging her to teach the 12 phases of transition. The throughline is steady—this work isn’t about replacing medicine, it’s about adding a proven layer of support that helps the body do what it’s built to do.If you’ve wondered how to find a legit practitioner, set boundaries, or start learning yourself, we cover it. Julie’s filter is clear: ethics first, no unsolicited scans, outcomes that resonate. We talk training, weekly practice groups, free resources, and why group intention can ripple healing across time. We even touch on AI’s surprising role in the future of intuition. Ready to rethink what healing can look like when spirituality meets practicality?

What happens when three sisters discover they share extraordinary psychic gifts? The Trinity Oracles join Tracy to reveal their journey as "the world's only trio of psychic sisters" and how energy healing transformed their abilities.Jasmine, Erica, and Candace pull back the curtain on their spiritual development, describing how they each discovered their unique intuitive talents despite growing up in a religious household where such gifts weren't openly discussed. Each sister brings something special to their work—Jasmine with her five "clairs" and energy healing expertise, Erica with her remarkable pet reading abilities, and Candace with her talent for dream interpretation.The conversation is fascinating as they share how Reiki enhanced their psychic accuracy. "Being grounded through Reiki allows you to discern what's definitely going to happen versus where choices might create different outcomes," Jasmine explains. This grounding effect creates clarity that helps them deliver more precise guidance to clients.With refreshing candor, the sisters address misconceptions about psychic work—from the belief they're "always reading" people to assumptions they should know lottery numbers. They reveal their unique "BS meter" for identifying authentic readers versus those who merely read energy rather than connecting with spirit guides. Their practical advice for developing intuitive abilities emphasizes community, practice, and understanding your unique way of receiving messages.The most delightful moments come when they share personal stories of everyday intuition, like Jasmine being guided to "the best Chick-fil-A sandwich of my life" by Archangel Michael, demonstrating how spiritual guidance appears in both profound and wonderfully ordinary ways.Whether you're curious about psychic development, considering Reiki training, or simply fascinated by extraordinary abilities, this conversation offers genuine insight into the spiritual journey of three remarkable sisters.

The spiritual toolbox is vast and varied, with each modality offering unique ways to connect with higher guidance. In this illuminating conversation, intuitive tarot reader Sarah Tai reveals how Reiki energy work became a foundational element of her spiritual journey and professional practice.Though initially skeptical about energy healing, Sarah's first Reiki experience shifted something inside her that couldn't be explained through conventional understanding. "She knew things about me that she shouldn't have known," Sarah recalls of her Reiki teacher, whose calming presence and impeccable integrity drew her to pursue Level One training. While she hasn't yet felt called to advance beyond this initial level, this foundation in energy work transformed her understanding of spiritual practices.Sarah dismantles common misconceptions about tarot with refreshing clarity. "It's just paper. It's all about the intention behind it," she explains, emphasizing that tarot has nothing to do with devil worship or communicating with spirits. She challenges the notion of "good" and "bad" cards, asserting that "all cards are medicine" - even intimidating ones like the Devil card, which represents breaking cycles and toxic patterns.Perhaps most compelling is Sarah's personal story of how tarot guided her through leaving a domestic violence marriage. After a mystical encounter with a raven - symbolically connected to the Death card - she performed a reading that clearly pointed toward transformation through departure. Years later, during the pandemic's uncertainty, she heard a clear message to pursue tarot professionally, discovering her true calling.For spiritual practitioners at any level, Sarah offers wisdom about trusting intuitive guidance while maintaining impeccable integrity. She never tells clients what to do, instead presenting energetic information so they can exercise their free will. "It's their journey, it's their decision," she emphasizes, demonstrating how spiritual guidance can empower rather than dictate.Through her podcast, Spirit Journey Collective, and various services including one-on-one readings and the Envy Alignment Project, Sarah continues sharing her gifts while honoring both Reiki principles and intuitive tarot practices.
