In this episode, Maya and Sandy explore the power of showing up for yourself through short, consistent micro practices. Inspired by Hatsurei-ho, a Japanese Reiki method, they share how small daily rituals can help cultivate presence, reduce overwhelm, and support long-term well-being.

Together, they unpack the first four stages of Hatsurei-ho, including relaxation, focused attention, dry bathing, and connecting to something greater than yourself. Along the way, they discuss how these practices can be adapted for real life — whether you’re at your desk, in transition between tasks, or simply trying to reset during a busy day.

Rather than waiting for a crisis to begin caring for yourself, this conversation invites you to make self-tending a regular part of life. If you’ve ever wanted a gentler, more sustainable way to build mindfulness into your day, this episode offers an accessible place to start.

Key Topics

Showing up for yourself consistently

Hatsureho and its nine stages

Micro practices for presence and grounding

Why daily rituals support resilience

Takeaway

Well-being isn’t just about fixing what’s wrong — it’s about building a steady practice that helps you return to yourself again and again.
