Happy Monday, Alchemist! Today we are going behind the books, with author and teacher, Nicholas Pearson. After having the opportunity to interview Nicholas several times, I became curious about his personal practice, his inspirations and his personal thoughts about “the work”. In this conversation, he opens up about what’s beneath, beyond and because of his incredible research and relationship to Reiki, crystals and more. Among the foremost experts on crystals, Nicholas combines his extensive background in mineral science with a love of healing, spirituality, and folklore to illustrate the healing properties of gemstones. As an avid Reiki practitioner and shihan, Nicholas is also passionate about understanding the roots of the system of Reiki, which we will also discuss. After the episode, sign up for his newsletter at http://theluminouspearl.com to get notified of crystal masterclasses, free monthly Reiki shares, Reiki certification opportunities and more.
