What if feeling calmer wasn’t a luxury, but the catalyst that makes everything else work? Our conversation with medical Reiki pioneer Pamela Miles gets practical about self-care for caregivers and clinicians: how brief, consistent self-Reiki lowers baseline stress, improves sleep, and restores the kind of presence that actually helps people heal. We dig into real-world obstacles—no time, night shifts, caregiver guilt—and share small routines that fit into crowded mornings, call nights, and hectic wards.

Pamela pulls back the curtain on bringing Reiki into hospitals without hype. She explains how to engage skeptical colleagues by offering useful, relevant pieces of information and inviting them to test the practice rather than “believe.” We look at the neuroscience of safety, vagal tone, and why parasympathetic balance unlocks better decisions, clearer thinking, and steadier bedside manner. Nurses who fear “losing their edge” discover they finish earlier and make fewer errors; physicians see how a strong ego can serve, not steer, when presence leads the room.

You’ll hear why you don’t need medical training to contribute meaningfully, just clarity about your role and respect for clinical teams. If you took a Reiki class years ago and stopped, you haven’t “lost it”—you can start again today with simple hand placements and supportive structure. Pamela also shares free resources: a monthly guided global self-practice session and a concise guide to finding credible practitioners and teachers, so you know what to look for and what to avoid.

If better sleep, calmer conversations, and more effective care sound good, try a short self-practice this week and notice what changes. Subscribe, share this with a caregiver or colleague who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find these tools.
