What Happens When Reiki Finds You

What if an ancient healing practice could help you process emotions you've been avoiding and break patterns that keep you stuck? Reiki is now validated by research and used at major medical centers, but for me, it became the key to moving through fear and recognizing how I'd been trying to fix everyone but myself.

In This Episode:

  • My experience with Reiki during the pandemic when I was stuck in fear
  • How leading hospitals like Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins use Reiki
  • The science behind why virtual Reiki works
  • Research showing Reiki's effects on stress, anxiety, and pain
  • How Reiki helped me recognize and work through old patterns
  • My Story:

    After leaving a company I'd been with for 19 years, the pandemic hit and I found myself frozen in fear—not just about COVID, but about my future. Remote Reiki sessions helped me process emotions I'd been suppressing and see patterns around codependency and trying to fix others that went back to my family of origin.

    What's Next:

    Part II drops tomorrow - a 20-minute guided Reiki healing session where you can experience this for yourself, wherever you are.

    In the coming weeks, you'll also be able to access recorded Reiki sessions focused on recovery and resilience, confidence and empowerment, inner child healing, freedom, and body wisdom. Go to www.intrinsicly.com to learn more.
