In this episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, hosts Bronwen Logan and Michaela Daystar explore the concept of a 'beginner's mind' and its significance in the practice of Reiki. 

They discuss how this Zen Buddhist idea, popularized by Shunryu Suzuki's book 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind,' translates to the system of Reiki. 

The conversation delves into the benefits of maintaining a beginner's mindset, avoiding rigidity, and embracing play and fun. 

Real-life examples and personal experiences provide insights into how one can integrate this perspective into both spiritual practice and everyday life. 

Join the conversation and learn how to keep your Reiki practice open, joyful, and accessible.
