The Unwritten

Whether you’re thinking about booking your first Reiki session or you’re a practitioner trying to figure out where the lines are — this one’s for you.In this episode, I will do my best to break down what a Reiki session actually looks like in the Western world, what’s traditionally part of the practice and what isn’t, and why the gap between those two things matters more than most people talk about. We get into informed consent, psychic expectations, sound therapy, crystals, and the honest reality that Reiki doesn’t need anything added to it to be profound.This is also a conversation about accountability — on both sides of the table. If you’re booking in, what are you actually showing up for? If you’re practicing, does what you’re offering match what you’re saying you offer?Just me as usual, no script, dogs for sure and 44 minutes of real talk from someone who’s been on both sides of this for over 20 years. Which makes me sound old, cause I kinda am, and thats cool.Find more at dianalynnmayorga.caQuestions or thoughts?    Email: [email protected] this resonated, please share and follow The Unwritten wherever you listen.The Unwritten — Archives of the Realm

You’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve said it. “This isn’t happening to you — it’s happening for you.” It’s one of those phrases that sounds like wisdom until you’re on the receiving end of it at exactly the wrong moment.In this episode, we’re going back to where a lot of these ideas actually come from, ancient Greece, specifically the myth of Chiron. He was the greatest healer of his age, mentor to heroes like Asclepius and Achilles, and he carried a wound that never healed. Not because he wasn’t wise enough. Not because he hadn’t done his work. That’s just the medicine of Chiron's journey. And somehow, we’ve collectively managed to get it almost completely backwards.We’ll also dip into the Stoics, who genuinely had something powerful to say about suffering and agency and whose ideas have been quietly running underneath a lot of modern spiritual culture, sometimes helpfully, sometimes not so much.This is a conversation about the difference between being empowered and bypassing. Between real spiritual depth and the kind of toxic positivity that tells people to transcend their pain before they’ve actually felt it. Between tending a wound honestly and pretending it isn’t there.Find more at dianalynnmayorga.caQuestions or thoughts?    Email: [email protected] this resonated, please share and follow The Unwritten wherever you listen.The Unwritten — Archives of the Realm

We live in a world fluent in symbols. A stop sign. A skull and crossbones. A heart emoji. These are efficient, institutional, fixed — they tell you what to do and mean only what they’re assigned to mean.But before symbols were standardized, there were sigils.In this episode, I’m exploring the fundamental difference between a symbol and a sigil — and why that distinction matters far more than most people realize. A symbol is flat. It communicates one thing, in one context, to anyone who knows the code. A sigil is something else entirely. It either lands in you or it doesn’t. It evokes. It interacts. And crucially, what it means is alive — it shifts with time, with context, and most importantly, with the person encountering it.This isn’t mysticism for mysticism’s sake. I believe sigils represent an earlier, more organic layer of human meaning-making — one that informed the very development of written language. Letters, characters, glyphs: many have roots in marks that were never meant to be decoded. They were meant to be felt.What does it mean to communicate in a living language? And what did we lose — or flatten — when we standardized it?Come think this through with me.Find more at dianalynnmayorga.caQuestions or thoughts?    Email: [email protected] this resonated, please share and follow The Unwritten wherever you listen.The Unwritten — Archives of the Realm

This is where it began. In this first episode I share how The Unwritten came to be — the name, the vision, and what I hope this space becomes. Twenty years of practice in herbalism, intuitive work, and energy medicine have taught me that the most important things rarely make it onto paper. This is my attempt to change that.If you’re someone who has always sensed there was more to the story — you’re in the right place.The Unwritten — Archives of the RealmFind more at dianalynnmayorga.caQuestions or thoughts?    Email: [email protected] this resonated, please share and follow The Unwritten wherever you listen.The Unwritten — Archives of the Realm
