In this week’s episode, we combined three topics we wanted to discuss, sharing insights drawn from our own experiences during Reiki sessions. As Reiki practitioners, we experience ongoing growth and learning with each session. As we delve deeper into self-discovery, we explore various techniques to better assist our clients. Here are the topics we discuss:

-          Reiki hand placement known as “brain balancing”: exploring the experiences of both the practitioner and the client receiving the treatment

-          Transmuting energy: what it is and how everyone transmutes energy in their unique way

-          Energy sickness: how this can arise if we neglect our self-care as practitioners and how various factors can influence our energy levels

Mentioned by Kristi: The 90-second rule is a technique developed by Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor to help people recognize and manage their emotions. The rule states that after a chemical reaction in the body ends, a person chooses to continue feeling an emotion.

We love discussing Reiki, and we want to explore other forms of it. That's why we wanted to connect with different Reiki practitioners to learn about the various styles and share our findings with you. On this week’s episode we're focusing on Holy Fire Reiki. Joining us is Holly from Howlister Moon.  She is a Holy Fire Reiki practioner, healer and guide committed to holistic wellness and spiritual development.

• Holly’s Reiki journey
• What is Holy Fire Reiki and how does it differ from Usui Reiki?
• What drew Holly to this style of Reiki
• Other modalities and techniques Holly incorporates into her Reiki practice
• Tips on balancing a Reiki business and working the “9-5”

In our very first episode we shared our stories about how Reiki found us.  We were eager to revisit that episode, as the sound quality was less than ideal during our early podcasting days.  We both recognize that our Reiki journeys have been instrumental in shaping who we are today.  The universe has an incredible way of guiding us toward the healing and growth we desire, often through magical and unexpected ways!  

Topics covered:

• How we were as kids
• How Reiki found us
• The type of Reiki we practise
• What our Reiki practises look like today
• How Reiki opened up so many doors on our spiritual journeys

• How Molly started reading palms
• History & evolution of Palm Readings
• Misconceptions about the lifeline
