Basics don't feel basic - because you're not returning to something you already know. You're unlearning decades of conditioning and re-learning how to actually create an existence that lights you up - where your authentic Reiki practise is a natural extension of who you are.

In this episode, we're exploring what "getting back to basics" really means when you're a practitioner, healer, Spiritual seeker, energy worker, or anyone outgrowing performing for systems that were never designed for your aliveness.

By the end of listening, you'll discover:

-Why "basics" can feel uncomfy & challenging - and why the difficulty you're experiencing is actually a sign you're doing profound work

-The energy audit framework - how to get radically honest about where your energy is actually going (not where you think it should go)

-The five foundations supporting you to create a fulfilling existence - the specifics that move you from survival mode to actual aliveness

-How to build aligned rhythms instead of rigid rules - the difference between strict practises that breaks under pressure and one that flexs and holds

-The guided goals framework - how to stay committed to your direction while staying radically open to being redirected by something deeper than your ambition

This isn't about doing less. It's about doing what's actually yours.

The room full of people leaves you depleted. You absorb your Reiki clients' energy. And somewhere along the way, you learned to abandon yourself in service to others.

But what if 2026 could be different?

In this intimate conversation, I explore the two core traps that keep empaths (Reiki trained or not) feeling burdened - and reveal the perspective shifts that reclaim your gift as medicine.

You'll discover how to feel without absorbing. How to care without taking on. How to perceive without absorbing. How to serve without abandoning yourself. How to distinguish between authentically emerging guidance and the blocks that have kept you tangled in other people's energy, potentially year after year.

This is for the highly sensitive, intuitive, empathic person ready to stop sacrificing and start thriving.

By the end of this episode you'll discover:

Why your sensitivity isn't a flaw from a place of empowerment - Understand the fundamental difference between absorbing others' energy and perceiving it -and how this one shift changes everything about how you move through the world.

The specific bind that traps Reiki practitioners (and how to break free from it) - Learn why mainstream Reiki training can actually reinforce energetic depletion - and discover how to practice as a grounded, boundaried healer without abandoning the depth of your gift.

What "empowered sensitivity" actually looks like in real life - Move beyond abstract spiritual concepts to concrete possibilities: finishing client sessions energised instead of drained, leaving rooms feeling alive instead of flattened, saying no without guilt, creating rhythms that work for you.

How to reclaim your medicine - the vibrant personal energy that's uniquely yours - Recognise that protecting your energy and honoring your sensitivity aren't opposing forces - they're the same act of sovereignty, and it's the foundation for authentic healing work.

The permission you've been waiting for to practice and live as yourself - Discover that there's no "should" in spiritual practice - just what's authentically emerging for you, what's aligned with the truth of who you are, and what's derailment from your path.

What happens when you stop following the rulebook and start trusting yourself?

In this conversation, Tal shares his journey from addiction and disconnection to becoming a Reiki teacher who challenges what mainstream Reiki teaches about "doing it right."

Moving from the UK back to the Italian Alps, Tal brings a refreshingly honest perspective on energy work that's been largely absent from the spiritual industry IMO: the radical idea that your authentic expression matters more than perfect technique, that everything always works when you're aligned with your truth, and that the rigid structures we've inherited are often just mirrors of the control we experienced growing up.

We explore the creative life force that addiction was actually seeking, how lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences revealed his true power, why energetic protection is ultimately an internal state, and the revolutionary act of integrating your Spiritual practice into the magically mundane moments of everyday life.

This is for anyone who's felt constrained by spiritual dogma, who suspects there's more freedom available in their practice than they've been taught, and who's ready to trust themselves over external authority.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE

-How the creative force we can seek through addiction, distraction, or numbing is actually  a soul calling back to authentic expression - and the specific moment Tal realised this about his own 10-year struggle with addiction, and how music became the bridge to reclaiming his freedom

-Why "doing Reiki right" is actually the thing that keeps it from working - including the counterintuitive truth that everything works when you're aligned with your authentic power, and how Tal's "freestyle" teacher freed him from decades of seeking the "perfect technique"

-The hidden connection between rigid spiritual structures and the control patterns we learned growing up - and how recognising this pattern is the first step toward reclaiming your sovereignty in your practice and your life

-How to access lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, and premonitions can be reliable guidance - not as supernatural superpowers, but as natural human capacities we've been taught to suppress, including what Tal discovered about safety, fear, and the untouchable essence of who you really are

-The difference between "higher vibration" hierarchy and authentic integration - why the spiritual industry's obsession with levels and advancement keeps practitioners small, and what it actually means to live a "magically mundane existence" where your practice isn't separate from your life, it's woven through it

For 15 years, we've been living inside a particular story about Spiritual  authority: there are people who 'know', and then there's you.

But that era is ending.

Neptune is reaching its final degree in Pisces -a rare threshold where the celestial, numerical, and seasonal all converge into one signal. Something is collapsing, collectively. And something new is rising.

And if you've felt the weight of "doing it right," followed protocols perfectly, or waited for permission from external authorities to trust what you already know - this conversation is for you.

This isn't about rejecting mentors or teachers. It's about a fundamental recalibration: from outsourced authority to grounded sovereignty. From guru hierarchies to genuine integrity. From the healer as saviour to the healer as mirror.

What You Will Discover by the End of Listening In:

-The specific architecture of outsourced spiritual authority - how the guru pedestal system has trapped both students and teachers, and why the mentor becomes responsible for everyone's evolution (spoiler: that weight was never theirs to carry)

-What Neptune's final degree in Pisces actually means for the spiritual landscape - why 2025 as a 9-year completion and 2026 as a 1-year beginning aren't coincidence, and how the Snake's shedding is preparing ground for the Horse's charge into new territory

- Exactly what's collapsing right now in the Reikiand spiritual industry - from the guru pedestal to spiritual hierarchy to the healer-as-saviour/rescuer narrative, and why practitioners are feeling this collapse most intensely

-What's rising in place of the old structures - how spiritual authority transforms from "I'm the master, you're the student" into genuine integrity, how mentors become mirrors instead of pedestals, and why people can now sense inauthenticity instantly

-How Reiki becomes a mirror for this entire shift - why the practitioners thriving coming into 2026 are the ones who're reclaiming their spiritual authority, and what it means to practice Reiki grounded in your own sovereignty rather than someone else's system

We're at a threshold. And you're being invited to step into what's possible now.

In my experience, the transformation you crave will initially make you feel like running. The Reiki and Spiritual industry often sells you permission to stay small. Meaning, you might feel like you've been going round in circles, trying super hard, but not feeling the way you want to in Reiki practise, in life.

What You'll Discover By The End Of Listening To This Episode:

-What "shocking authenticity" means for your growth - The uncomfortable truth about what true transformation requires, and how to recognize when a mentor is actually serving your growth versus selling you comfort.

-The spiritual gaslighting you're probably doing to yourself right now - How the wellness industry conditions you to blame your own receptivity instead of questioning whether the teacher is actually delivering - and what to do about it.

-What happens when you finally stop looking for the easy way - The exact moment transformation becomes possible - and why discomfort is the signal you're actually moving, not the sign you're doing it wrong.

-The real difference between gentle compassion and spiritual bypassing - How to tell the difference between a mentor who's protecting you from hard work and one who's holding you accountable to the person you actually want to become.

You know you're an empath. Months into Reiki practice,you're more drained than ever. Absorbing clients' energy. Exhausted after sessions. Wondering if you're actually cut out for this.

Here's what nobody tells you: being told you're gifted without being taught how to be empowered within that gift is actually a trap. And mainstream Reiki - despite often well meaning intentions - locks you deeper inside it.

In this episode, we're naming the gap that's burning out sensitive, empathic, intuitive Reiki practitioners everywhere. Why "select few" thinking keeps you powerless. Why grounding between clients isn't enough. And most importantly - what actually shifts you from trapped empath to empowered Reiki practitioner.

This is the conversation that changes culture.

5 things you'll discover by the end of this episode:

The Hidden Hierarchy Built Into Spiritual Training -Why being told you're "special" actually gives your power away to external validation (and how to reclaim it)

Why Mainstream Reiki Makes Empathic Practitioners Bleed Energy - The specific gap between Reiki attunement and energetic protection that leaves you absorbing clients' "stuff"

The Difference Between Being a Hollow Bone vs. Being a Sponge - The mechanics of working with energy without becoming a storage unit for everyone else's emotional & energetic materials.

How Personal Power & Reiki Energy Are Distinct (But Work Together) - Why understanding this distinction transforms both your own practice and the healing you offer clients

The Sovereignty Shift That Changes Things -The point framework to move mainstream Reiki away from training that traps empaths to empowering them.

You invested in Reiki training expecting transformation. Instead, you got gatekeeping dressed up as tradition.

Whether you're still questioning that first attunement or you're years into a practice that never quite felt right, this episode cuts through the spiritual bypassing to name what mainstream Reiki training actually costs you - and it's so much deeper than your bank account.

Drawing from a decade plus of personal experience and community, connection of 3,000+ trained practitioners, I'm breaking down the hidden price of hierarchical systems:

.. the erosion of self-trust, the emotional wounds from broken mentorship, the confidence that gets sacrificed on the altar of "just trust your intuition" - without actually being shown how.

This isn't about blame. It's about permission. Permission to grieve what you invested. Permission to question whether the system was ever designed to empower you or keep you dependent. And permission to reclaim the authority that was always yours.

If you've felt that creeping sense of offness in your training - this is for you.

>FIVE THINGS YOU'LL DISCOVER BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE:

-Why "just trust your intuition" is Spiritual gaslighting - and what actually builds the foundation so you can trust yourself without fear

-The emotional poverty trap: How broken trust with a teacher doesn't just damage that relationship - it bleeds into your self-trust for years, keeping you from recognizing genuine mentorship when it arrives

-The energetic bleed nobody warns you about: Why empathic, intuitive, highly sensitive practitioners become MORE depleted after mainstream attunements without the mechanics to stay resourced and boundaried - and how this plays out in your sessions and your life

-How hierarchy masquerades as sacred structure: The difference between gatekeeping systems that keep you small and authentic mentorship that supports you to uncover your own answers

-What reclaiming your sovereignty actually looks like: The specific shift that happens when you stop waiting for permission to be powerful - and how this transforms not just your practice, but your entire relationship with authority in your life

Do you keep your Spiritual Reiki practice in a box - separate from your "real life”? I very much used to.

In this episode, we dissolve the artificial separation between your Reiki practice and how you actually live.

You'll discover what mainstream Reiki training never teaches you: how to safely integrate your full Spiritual Reiki practice - your guides, your belief system, your knowing - into every single day.

This isn't about following the rulebook perfectly. It's about reclaiming your Spiritual authority, trusting what you already sense is true, and remembering that Reiki isn't something you do - it's something you live.

If you've felt the exhaustion of compartmentalisation, if you're ready to stop waiting for permission to be powerful, if you're sensing there's more to your practice than mainstream training showed you - this episode is for you.

By the end of this episode, you will discover:

-Why compartmentalising your Reiki practice is actually exhausting you instead of empowering you - and how the artificial separation between "Spiritual practice" and "real life" keeps you waiting for permission to be fully powerful in your own work (even though that authority was never external to begin with).

-How to integrate your actual belief system - your guides, your Spiritual team, your knowing - into a full-life animistic Reiki practice without apology, without watering it down, and without needing mainstream validation that what you're experiencing is "real."

-The 4 pillars of living an animistic Reiki life - listening to your body's wisdom equally with your Spiritual team's guidance, inviting your belief system without hiding it, recognizing sacred work everywhere (not just formal sessions), and trusting yourself as the creator with spiritual support - not the rulebook.

-Where your sovereignty is actually waiting - by identifying the specific places you're still separating your practice from your life, where fear and resistance live, and how reclaiming those spaces transforms you from someone following someone else's system into someone living their own animistic, Spirit-led life. ill add the pod link in later

For many years, I honoured the traditions of my lineage as a mainstream Reiki Master. Then I eventually couldn’t ignore what I felt any longer - that whisper that something wasn't quite right. The hierarchy. The gatekeeping. The implication that I needed someone else's permission to access power that was already mine.  Or “give” someone else permission to access what was already theirs.

After 5 years of co-creating with my Spiritual team, I made a choice that fundamentally changed everything: I stopped using attunements. And what I discovered challenged everything I'd been taught about worthiness, authority, and what it actually means to be a sovereign practitioner.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why mainstream Reiki attunements perpetuate Spiritual hierarchy, how they create dependency structures that keep practitioners small, and what happens when you reclaim your inherent power instead of waiting for someone else's validation.

This isn't about rejecting the Reiki tradition. It's about taking your power back within it.

By the time you finish this episode, you'll discover:

The hidden cost of hierarchical initiations -What attunements actually do (and what they don't), and why the dependency structure they create compromises your healing power

How external Reiki validation keeps you from sovereignty -Why needing someone else's permission to channel Reiki energy means you've already compromised your authority, how to reclaim that, and what happens when you stop outsourcing your worthiness

The difference between tradition and control -How the attunement system became a way to maintain power and charge premium prices, and why not everything that's been passed down deserves to be preserved

What "hollow bone" means in practice (not justtheory) - How bridging the Spiritual and earthly realms transforms you from drained practitioner to a hollow bone, and why most practitioners struggle with this without the right skills

What reclaiming your sovereignty actually looks like -How practitioners who choose this path become unshakeable in their confidence, intuitive clarity, Spiritual connection, and ability to show up as themselves and serve their clients from a place of genuine power (not permission)

Evolution isn't about leaving yourself behind. It's about bringing more of yourself forward. That whisper you sense? The one telling you something deeper wants to emerge through your practice and life? This conversation is for you.

Join me as we explore the unspoken evolution the majority of Reiki practitioners face who come into my world - when mainstream frameworks start feeling like a sweater you've outgrown. When your clients need exactly what you're hesitant to trust. When you're caught between playing it safe and honoring what's genuinely moving through you in life & work.

This isn't about pushing past your edges or spiritual bypassing your very real human needs. It's about finding that sweet spot where expansion and safety coexist, where you can be both deeply spiritual AND deeply human.

By the end of this episode, you'll discover:

1. Why Your Resistance to Expanding Your Practice is Actually Wisdom You'll understand how your hesitation isn't fear but discernment - and how to work WITH your edges rather than against them to create sustainable evolution that honors your personal  history while opening to your future.

2. The Missing Foundations Mainstream Reiki Never Gave You We'll uncover the three critical elements most Reiki training overlooks - personal healing foundations, intuitive clarity, and confident Spiritual connection - and why evolution feels hard without them.

3. How to Trust Your Emerging Gifts Without Abandoning Your Humanity You'll learn the difference between expansion from self-abandonment versus radical self-inclusion, and why becoming a hollow bone doesn't mean losing your sovereignty or grounded wisdom.

4. Why Your Personal Evolution is Medicine for Your Clients You'll see how the very tension you feel between safety and expansion becomes the exact medicine your clients need, and how walking this edge yourself prepares you to hold space for their becoming.

Perfect for aspiring or qualified Reiki practitioners feeling the call to something more, empaths navigating Spiritual expansion, and anyone whose life & practice feels ready to burst beyond its current boundaries - but needs it to feel safe this time.
