Inside My Reiki Binder: Stories, Science & the Sacred Transmission of Love
In today’s heartfelt episode, I open up my Reiki binder, the one I’ve carried and added to for over two decades. Inside are teachings passed down from my mother, from my beloved teachers like Libby Barnett and Karen Krieger, and from the lived lineage that continues to unfold through every session and student.
This is a deep dive into the foundational teachings of First and Second Degree Reiki: what it is, how it works, and why it’s such a powerful gift in our modern lives.
I share science-backed studies, quotes from my teachers and clients, and insights on everything from attunements to the sacred responsibility of holding space, to the Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki. Whether you’re brand new or already certified, I hope this episode brings you closer to the essence of Reiki: unconditional love flowing through us all.
What You’ll Hear:
💫 A poetic and practical definition of Reiki and its universal energy
💫 The sacred art of attunement and how it works on a vibrational level
💫 The deeper energetics of healing in community
💫 The ripple effect of personal healing and global transformation
💫 A walk through the Five Spiritual Principles, with modern reflections
💫 Reiki in hospitals, nursing, and even corporate offices
💫 Scientific research on how Reiki affects the body
💫 Stories from my own Reiki practice, plus client testimonials from over 20 years of sessions
💫 A soul-stirring poem by Derek Walcott that reminds us to feast on our lives
