Each week, you’ll hear intimate conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and visionaries who are redefining success through creativity and embodiment.

With listeners in over 65 countries, this podcast is both sanctuary and spark: a reminder that you don’t need to push to create, or perform to belong. You get to feel good. You get to embody your truth. And from that place, your most authentic life and art flow effortlessly.

A Meditative Journey Through Lineage: The Living Light of Reiki with Siri
In this sacred storytelling minisode, Siri Baruc Thornton guides you through a meditative journey into the origins and lineage of Reiki. More than a history lesson, this is an energetic transmission—best received lying down or in stillness, like a sound bath for the soul.
You’ll be taken back to the mountains of Japan, where Dr. Mikao Usui received the sacred symbols through vision and devotion. You’ll walk the path through Dr. Chujiro Hayashi’s structured teachings, Hawayo Takata’s courageous journey to bring Reiki to the West, and into the lives of modern carriers of the light: John Harvey Gray, Libby Barnett, Karen Krieger, and Siri’s own mother, Christine Fead.
This minisode also traces Siri’s personal story—being raised in the energy, teaching beside her mother in Vermont and Los Angeles, and continuing the sacred lineage through her retreats and Reiki certifications today.
✨ Stay to the end for a guided meditation on the Reiki Principles, woven with affirmations for each chakra:
— I am grounded (Root)
— I flow with ease (Sacral)
— I radiate confidence (Solar Plexus)
— I live from my heart (Heart)
— I speak with love (Throat)
— I trust my intuition (Third Eye)
— I am connected to Divine light (Crown)
Let this meditation be a remembering. Let it awaken the healer within you. And when you’re ready, let it guide you to your next step.
