In this deeply personal episode of Healing Waves Reiki, Cathy Scarpitto shares the story of how Reiki found her—through grief, curiosity, and an unexpected unfolding that would ultimately change both her life and her work.

What began as a career grounded in science, physical therapy, and the mechanics of the body slowly opened into something deeper: an understanding that healing is shaped not only by structure and function, but by presence, energy, intuition, and the state of the nervous system.

In this episode, Cathy shares the personal loss that began her spiritual awakening, the experiences that opened her to intuition, and how Reiki expanded her understanding of healing in ways she never expected.

This is a conversation about grief, transformation, and the subtle ways healing begins to find us—often long before we have language for what is unfolding.

What is Reiki, really—and what is it not?

In this episode of Healing Waves Reiki, Cathy Scarpitto offers a clear, grounded introduction to Reiki as both a spiritual practice and a gentle, supportive approach to healing.

She explores the origins of Usui Reiki, the meaning of Reiki as universal life force energy, how Reiki is experienced in both in-person and distance sessions, and the role of the Reiki practitioner as a channel for Reiki energy.

Cathy also shares what Reiki is not—what it does not replace, what it is not meant to do, and why Reiki is best understood as a supportive practice that helps regulate the nervous system, deepen internal awareness, and create the conditions for healing to unfold.

Whether you are Reiki-curious, new to energy work, or looking for a more grounded understanding of Reiki, this episode offers a practical and accessible place to begin.
