On this episode, I speak with Jonathan Richardson, a contributor to Ifetayo White’s book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” whose chapter is titled “Footprints.”  

"Unhealed Healers Don't Heal Anything..." - Jonathan Richardson

What happens when you want #Reiki to heal one thing, but what actually starts healing is YOU?!

Jonathan shares how his upbringing and marriage led him down paths of religious and spiritual exploration. His story is incredibly interesting and gives a peek into one person’s journey of recognizing emotional challenges, seeking healing, and the process of awakening to self in stages.   Jonathan begins by sharing a powerfully symbolic dream, weaving us through the journey of how different levels of Reiki training expressed through his life. There’s also insight around what being a Massage Therapist taught him about Reiki and energy. In the end, he leaves us with practical advice to support all practitioners on their paths forward.

On this episode, I interview Christal McElveen of http://neptunesgate.com, a fellow contributor to the book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” about her lifelong sensitivity to energy, growing up in a religious environment, and learning to cope with intense empathy and visions.

Christal shares how she eventually shut her gifts down, then was cracked open by her grandmother’s passing, leading to years of numbness, severe high blood pressure, and unprocessed grief. Her grandmother catalyzed her spiritual path, bringing Reiki into her life for deep, transformative healing. She also discusses Reiki levels, shadow work, grounding, intuition, and developing boundaries. I especially loved hearing about Christal’s “year of no” in 2023, redefining “selfish,” her path to reclaiming feminine softness, and how she now teaches Reiki and offers yearlong spiritual mentorship and other services.

April 2026, Energy of the Month, is an initiation and rebirth! Let's explore our relationship to Aries season, the influence of Mars, and the Energetic Alchemist Oracle card - The Architect (counterpart to last month’s Breathing Goddess).

We'll also touch on how Pisces season, the energies of dissolution and release, created space for our Aries embodiment, bold authenticity, and action, while emphasizing a collective attunement to higher frequency and ongoing systemic breakdowns. This month will support realization around what’s falling away, how to assert yourself without becoming too aggressive, and reshaping an anxious relationship with time.

Astrological Highlights Include

Full Moon in Libra on April 1st (self vs. relationship mirrors)
Mars entering Aries April 9th (intensified drive for six weeks)
Mercury entering Aries April 14th (mental breakthroughs)
New Moon in Aries April 17th (ambition and self-investment)
Sun entering Taurus April 19th (slowing down into values, method, comfort, and Venus themes)

Yolanda and Melinda reunite to celebrate the equinox and discuss seasonal shifts, especially the Sun moving into Aries, and what it means for energy practitioners. They reflect on transitioning from Pisces themes of dissolution, forgiveness, purification, and compassion - moving into Aries, cardinal fire, action, audacity, and self-directed initiative, while noting the need to balance water and fire. They also mention other astrological aspects, including multiple placements that are currently in Aries (Sun, Moon, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron), linking this to re-identification, amplification of audacity, passion, taking up space, and personal agency.

As practitioners of energetic arts, they go beyond the ideas of the equinox and discuss how Aries energy shows up in all of us and what we can learn through this season. In the end, they pull tarot and oracle cards for the season.

In this episode I sit down with the hosts of Haute Hustle Morning Mystics, Jeneth and Lyanca. I met these incredible women when I was invited to be a guest on their show, and now they’re on the other side of the microphone, sharing about how they met, their career pivots, and the spiritual experiences that shaped their work.  

Jeneth shares how a life-changing surgery sparked mystical encounters, led to channeling, and inspired her book, “Seven Dragons: A Guide to A Limitless Mind,” which later evolved into dragon-based healing journeys and bodywork.  

Lyanca recounts leaving a successful advertising career after feeling depleted, pursuing life coach training, and experiencing a 2020 spiritual awakening that deepened her path, including QHHT sessions, channeling messages about collective intention and empowerment.  

Together they describe Haute Hustle’s mission as building a nonjudgmental community, exploring manifestation and frequency, and offering tools like hypnotherapy, a money-frequency quiz, and ongoing programs and events.

In this March 2026 update, Yolanda reflects on a collective sense that what is “for you” is amplifying and encouraging inner illumination. She also draws guidance from The Energetic Alchemist Oracle card “The Breathing Goddess,” emphasizing sacred feminine receptivity and creation from within.

Today we have a conversation with Jonathan Robinson, a certified hypnotherapist and instructor, as well as a Reiki practitioner. He specializes in past life regression hypnotherapy and spiritual hypnotherapy because he’s seen how powerful it is when people finally access the deeper layers of the subconscious mind. In our conversation, Jonathan explains hypnosis as a guided meditation that brings the brain into a relaxed theta state, allowing the subconscious to accept positive suggestions and create change.  

He also shares how reading authors like Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon led him into regression work and emphasizes that clients don’t need to “believe” in reincarnation for sessions to be useful. In fact, some experience past lives as metaphors, others as verifiable events, but the main goal is healing and empowerment. Jonathan describes common reasons people seek sessions, including “forever feelings,” unexplained fears and phobias, shame, relationship patterns, and even birthmarks, and gives examples of clients linking present-day issues to past-life experiences (fear of drowning, fear of strangers, difficulty with love, and compulsive overeating tied to a vow to never be beautiful).   He also talks about spiritual themes, such as healers being punished in prior lifetimes, clearing the throat chakra, soul evolution through challenges, repeating “tests” until lessons are learned, and how regression can illuminate relationship dynamics and “soul contracts.”

In this conversation, Yolanda speaks with Frank Arjava Petter, a well-known Reiki teacher, about his life updates, spiritual practices, and the profound changes he has experienced. Arjava shares his recent focus on creative projects and his reflections during a period of change in his work-life. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, staying present, and the interconnectedness of heart-mind in achieving peace and self-awareness.  

They discuss the significance of viewing oneself as whole rather than divided parts, the challenges of the spiritual journey, and the potential for personal transformation to impact broader society. Arjava also touches on his creative endeavors, including upcoming book projects, and the joy he finds in simple everyday activities. The conversation highlights the necessity of patience, self-discipline, and finding joy in all aspects of life.  

Frank Arjava Petter is a German author and workshop facilitator who is best known for his internationally best-selling books on the history of Reiki and its practice. Arjava’s books have been translated into twenty-two languages. He has taught Reiki to thousands of students in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Africa. Besides Reiki, he also practices and teaches meditation, as well as the therapeutic practice of Family Constellations.

Do you ever feel unsure of how to balance your spiritual practice with your other desires and inspirations? Have you ever found yourself questioning who you really are and what you actually want to experience in life? Fortunately, we come to learn that our spirituality is expressed through all things, including the fullness and uniqueness of who we are, individually! Today we discuss this with Angelina Barbieri, a second-generation Reiki Practitioner and actress.

Angelina’s first experience with Reiki was in 2009. Three years later, she moved to Los Angeles, California where she became certified as a Reiki Master. Now Angelina uses her relationship to Reiki and her intuitive gifts to help people find and speak their truth. She believes it’s possible for anyone to live in their light, no matter what.
