Episode #56 Tara Crowley Unveiling the Majestic Dance of Reiki and the Power of Distance Healing

Have you ever sensed an angelic presence or longed to connect with healing energies that transcend time and space? Tara Crowley, a Reiki master with an extraordinary passion for healing, joins us to share her transformative experiences with Reiki, including the remarkable story of her son's distance healing and her poignant encounters with angelic beings. With the gentle guidance of Reiki's universal energy, Tara's insights illuminate the path to harmony and balance, revealing how this graceful practice can touch lives profoundly, both in humans and our animal companions.

The journey toward recovery and growth can be arduous, full of obstacles and pain that seem insurmountable. Yet, in the embrace of Reiki, we find a resilient ally. I, too, have walked this path, finding solace and strength in Reiki's embrace after a debilitating car accident. Our discussion wanders through the rich landscape of Reiki modalities, from Azui to Holy Fire, each offering a unique resonance with the individual spirit. For those embarking on this path, the myriad practices of Reiki await, a beacon of self-discovery and a testament to the adaptability of this ancient healing art.

As our episode unfolds, the global tapestry of Reiki emerges, highlighting the ease with which this healing energy traverses the digital realm. From the comfort of home, practitioners can send love and positive intentions across continents, reaching animals, ecosystems, and conflict zones in need of nurturing. We close with an invitation to join our Ready Set Reiki community, where curiosity meets the profound wisdom of Reiki, and where every listener is encouraged to engage, question, and explore the boundless potential of self-care through this mystical yet accessible practice.

I am a certified Reiki Master Professional/Teacher, Reiki Animal Master Professional/Teacher and Kid Reiki Master Teacher 
Reiki Master and I love the practice of Reiki – from treating people around the world to treating
animals, from dragonflies to pets to giraffes! My Reiki practice is all-encompassing and non-judgmental.
I love that Reiki cannot harm. I was a longtime caretaker for many family members and felt helpless
when all I could do was to hold their hand or visit to keep them company. Now, the practice of energy
healing makes me feel that I can help in a very positive way that adds to their rehab, recovery, healing,
or allows them to destress and relax. Many small and large miracles can occur. It is beyond rewarding
when reiki helps the recipient to relax or when much larger healing occurs. From the smallest healing to
the largest, from spirit lightening to releases, Reiki channels from the universe through my hands to the
recipient whose spirits and guides then take over to direct the energy to where it needs to go. Reiki is
truly timeless and wonderful in and of itself or in addition to regular, alternative, and holistic practices
and all other modalities.

Speaker 3: 2:58

Thank you so much, tracy. I'm so honored to be here and just a wonderful program. Love talking about Reiki and just had such a wonderful experience with you at Kid Reiki and so I'm so thankful that we can follow up on. You know, seeing each other again and getting together.

Speaker 2: 3:12

Wonderful, wonderful and it was truly a wonderful experience. You know to be connected with you and, as you were, I was working and we were connecting our energy. I just knew that you had to be a guest on here, so I love having you here to talk about your journey as we navigate through this. Reiki is just a wonderful relaxing modality and to show our listeners that you know you can start one place and it can take you magical places that you never could imagine, and so, with that said, I gave our listeners just a little taste of who you are. So tell us about yourself.

Speaker 3: 3:48

So right now I'm working full-time in an administrator position and I'm going to be retiring in May and have been setting up a Reiki practice as I go along. As I said, I just love Reiki and I've been doing Reiki with friends, animals, everything as much as I can over the last few years and I just it's just a part of my life right now. It's, I think, around in 2000,. My son was playing sports and had an injury and just a lot of stress involved with you know, some high school stuff, and actually had met somebody through massage therapy who she recommended, somebody who did energy healing, and I liked that because it was distance healing. I was like, oh, this really is interesting. So I actually had a session myself and during that session and it was Reiki I saw just this beautiful, beautiful angel above me and I mean it was life-changing. And then, after I had met her and I always like to meet the people that I'm working with, or you know before and I scheduled a session for my son. So he actually went outside and just sat in a chair out in the yard at the time of the meeting and I was kind of watching from inside because he's just so active and everything he's like, I'll try it, but, you know, not really buying into it. And and within minutes he was sound asleep and you could just see as soon as the time come. And then, when the time was over, he was just awake and up and moving and he even noticed a different, a big difference, and so I was just drawn to that.

Speaker 3: 5:20

But of course you know, life gets in the way and it wasn't until 2013, again, that just a lot of stress and different things going on in my life that I found my way to a medical, intuitive Reiki master and it was through her that I actually found my absolutely wonderful first teacher in Reiki. She actually lives by the ocean and it was just, you know, transformative. She was the most down to earth, just kind, and the way she went through the Reiki and just brought in all different types of, like the crystal healing she's does amazing things with crystals and but it was just so transformative and to the point that I just was ready to start my journey with the Reiki and bring it into my life. So it has been a process and it's a lot of. One thing has led to another. Like I did the Reiki, I wasn't sure if I was going to go on and get the professional or teacher, and I did.

Speaker 3: 6:19

And that animal Reiki I just love. I love animals of all sorts. Even growing up I was always the one out watching a bumblebee in clover for hours. You know, I could just sit there for hours and rescuing animals and playing in the stream and the creek out behind my house, and just so in love with nature, and so I kind of feel like I've come full circle. I actually ended up going to college and for some reason ended up with economics and philosophy instead of like oceanography or something.

Speaker 3: 6:46

And again I look back and it's just like I don't know where that disconnect came. You know where. I know it happens a lot, you know, when you're teens and you just get involved with everything else going on in your life and I played sports and everything and so. But it's just through this journey with, you know, my children and extended family, and I just reached a point where it made me, it empowered me. As you said in the introduction, I was able to help, do something or feel that I could do something for other people that would make a difference, instead of just handing a medicine or holding their hand, and that is so important as well. But this just takes it to another level. And so, yeah, it was really.

Speaker 3: 7:29

I mean just one quick story. I mean I was even. I was swimming in an outside pool and this dragon, a huge dragonfly, one of the biggest I've ever seen, was stuck in the drain. I was like, oh my gosh. So I get up and took it from the drain and then I took it over. You know kind of look around, you know make sure nobody's watching me and put it down that I'm giving it Reiki, I mean. So that's how much you know. Reiki is just a part of me. I did that with, like, without a thought, you know, and you know, if an ambulance go by, I, you know, feel myself just throwing a blessing to the ambulance. You know whatever's going on the drivers, the person who might be in there, and so it's just, it's just a part of my life. I can't imagine without it. But had you asked me, you know, 20 years ago if this is where I would be right now, I would have said no.

Speaker 2: 8:10

Right, and it's just amazing where this journey takes you. Even if you veer off, you somehow get back to where you're supposed to be. So how beautiful. Beautiful. So would you say that you found Reiki, or Reiki found you.

Speaker 3: 8:24

Definitely, reiki found me. The universe just has a way of leading you to where you need to be at a certain time. So when I started the Reiki, I loved it. As I said, at that time I had parents and in-laws who had different things going on medically in their lives, so I felt that was OK, this is great, I can do this and work with stuff. So I felt that was okay, this is great, you know, I can do this and work with stuff. And but then I found I wanted more for myself. You know, people always tell, always tell me that you know you have to take care of yourself before you take others. No, no, no, no, that's not important, I just have to take care of them. They're, they're what's important, you know. And then then you go on until you have complete burnout, you know. And so I just found that, you know, of course, reiki brought that into my life, you know, brought in that. No, you have to do self-care, you have to be strong in order to do this. So that actually led me to. You know, I've worked with shamans and different attunements, with saints and archangels and fairies, and I mean just all sorts of modalities that I felt drawn to and it really has brought out even the kid Reiki brought out such a childlike wonder. You know, each type of Reiki encompasses some draw to me, some inner element within me that it appeals to, that it draws out and I just find that just so amazing and so empowering and just very warming and comforting. So it really has. I really believe that Reiki is just leading me to where I need to be on this life journey and it's just been. It's amazing and just I'm here, you know, right here, I'm here with you. And if you had told me I'd be doing a podcast on Reiki three months ago before the class, I would say, oh my gosh, that is so out of my comfort zone, there's no way. And it's just lovely to be here and talking about it. But it truly is and the thing that about Reiki that I love is for me it's fun.

Speaker 3: 10:26

I was in a car accident probably six or seven years ago. Somebody hit me from behind in my car and I my head bounced off the steering wheel and crushed the orbital nerves and had post concussive syndrome, which I'm still had some symptoms now, but they're getting better. But I was out of work for a year and I could not have survived. I look back and I don't think I could have survived without the Reiki because it was just like constant pain, constant healing. One of the doctors who did a review of course you get into the disability and everything but he was like, well, she couldn't have been in pain because she wasn't taking any pain medicine and you know that was like, oh my gosh. I was like you know, and? And people don't understand Reiki and even if you explain it, sometimes they're like, oh okay, you know, you know, but until they actually experience it, it's, you know, you can't put words to it.

Speaker 3: 11:16

And let me put it this way you can put words to it, but the feeling and the effects you just can't until you have it. So you know that Reiki helped me through that. So I mean, I believe I was led to Reiki, you know, knowing that I would need it along the way. And again the universe like you've got to take care of yourself. Now you have to take care of yourself, you know. You, you know, and this is what you have to focus on and and it really was, you know, transformative. You know that because I had so much time to do self Reiki and and heal from that accident. And you know, I've had a couple other traumas in my life and Reiki has just been there. And sometimes I look back and it's like where did I get that strength? And it's just like, oh yeah, it was probably Reiki and all of the guides and spirits that work with Reiki, you know, helping me along on this journey.

Speaker 2: 12:03

Wow, what a beautiful testimony to show someone that I went through this and by doing this, I'm able to be here today to talk about it and share it.

Speaker 3: 12:13

Exactly, exactly, I mean, that's really what it is. It's. You know, that's exactly right. You know where I'd be if I had taken that first pain pill Right. Where would I be at this point in my life? Because that can be life-changing, absolutely.

Speaker 2: 12:32

Absolutely. And as you get out there to try it, reiki does no harm. So, even trying it, say you go out and you do an Azui training and it may not be your thing, animal Reiki may be your thing, right, kid Reiki. I always say, find your Goldilocks, find your just right. Because when I did Azui I'm like okay. But then Holy Fire came along, I'm like yes, this is it. Kid Reiki came along. Yes, this is it Animal Reiki. So find it. There's a lot of systems out there and find the one that works and you can make it your own. So that's the great thing about it you can add your flavor, your flavor to it.

Speaker 3: 13:15

Exactly, I mean everybody. The energy is the energy. It's going to heal, if there's no harm, and it works Absolutely. Your, our backgrounds, our experiences, our environments all add, like you said, like a different flavor to the Reiki. It doesn't mean it's better or worse, it's just a very, it's just different.

Speaker 2: 13:30

Right and there, and there's no saying one is better than the other. No, whether it resonates with you, you'll feel that connection Like, yes, I really like the way this is, and then make it your own.

Speaker 3: 13:45

Exactly, exactly, and you know Reiki to me. So after the accident I really, you know, I had trouble speaking and putting thoughts to words and so I kind of was like to my guides, my Reiki guides. I'm, like, you know, kind of having trouble here remembering or processing all this stuff. So you kind of have to have my back. You know, if I start a Reiki session and, oops, I forget to end it the right way, you know I used to feel when I first started, oh my gosh, I have to do it this way, I have to do this, I have to draw this, I have to do this, and that just all went away, you know, after the accident, because I just couldn't do it. So I said, if I'm going to be doing Reiki, somebody is going to have to have my back, and you know that's no problem.

Speaker 3: 14:22

You know, I mean so Reiki became fun. I mean to me it's just so much fun. I mean when I walk on the beach I'm giving Reiki to seagulls, or you know, we're leaving Reiki trails, and I mean just whatever I can do to make a difference in anything anyone's life, I mean to me is like, and they don't even have to know about it, I don't care if they know about it or where it came from, you know, it's just it's making what difference I can make. So I think just a quote, like Mother Teresa's it was something like you know, you can make a ripple in the water. You know we may not be able to change everything by ourselves, but you make that small ripple and it goes across the ocean and you just don't know where it ends. So it's just a wonderful feeling to live Reiki that way and, as I said, it's fun.

Speaker 3: 15:11

It is just so much fun, even with kid Reiki. Sometimes they're just drawn to the Reiki. I remember one time, oh my gosh, I stopped by this farm and there were a bunch of horses out there and I was like, oh, look at that. And you don't give Reiki unless you have permission, but Reiki is just part of who we are. And these horses came like over and then they were like rubbing up against and nudging each other across, trying to get on the pad. And I mean it's just, it's amazing the reaction you can get, you know, from different in different experiences. It's not always the same, but the Reiki is there nonetheless, beautiful beautiful.

Speaker 3: 15:50

So our next question is what is a common misperception about your work? Common misperception is definitely the woo-woo factor, as I call it. You know, it's just, we've all, I'm sure, experienced it. There's just a lack of understanding about exactly Reiki. But that's changed even since I, you know, started Reiki you know professionally, I guess, or taking classes in 2013. That has changed even in the last 10 years, I mean for people's knowledge of it.

Speaker 3: 16:18

Like I was out with a bunch of my co-workers and these guys from across the country and so they say say, oh, so you're retiring, what are you gonna be doing? I say I'm gonna be doing reiki, really passionate about it and love it. And, um, they, oh, I know reiki it's not the kind of the hands thing or something you know, like you know. And I said, yeah, that's kind of like what it is, but I mean it's just, um, there's a misperception about what it is, in the validity of the possibilities of what Reiki can do. And to me, as I said, you know, I'll say, laughing, it's like my woo side or something like that. But you know, people aren't accepting of it, even in my own family. You know it's like, you know, you know it's just nothing there. You know it's the you know she doesn't know what she's talking about about, or something like that. So I think that's the most common misperception I've had, but I've also found that that's changing. It is.

Speaker 3: 17:10

It seems, yes, especially with the help of TikTok, it's making it relevant that my children oh, I know that for somebody, on TikTok Exactly and I just think, now you're seeing the kid Reiki, although Reiki, you know, works with children, no matter what, but of course, reiki and having these courses that are specific to them and the attunement is specific to them. And I think again, those, the little ripple, can, you know, go across the world and I mean the energy of the universe is changing to this large spiritual awakening for everybody over the next five, 10 years, and it's, I think, all of this is going to just start and catch up and just make this world, you know, a better place, beautiful, beautiful our next question is is what is something that everybody in this industry should stop doing?

Speaker 3: 17:56

everybody should stop doing. Um, I think probably they should focus just on the basics of Reiki. You know, I think sometimes you know you can read about all this stuff and I think sometimes even on you know different, you know, again, social media, I'm, you know, is just there's just so much out there and I think it's just getting to stay with the basics, you know, and then whatever happens happens because you blow it up into this big thing and it just becomes more intimidating. And it's not intimidating and it's very simple, it's very basic, it's energy, it works. So I think that's the biggest problem.

Speaker 2: 18:48

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. So what is something that you wish your younger self knew about this profession?

Speaker 3: 18:57

when my mother rang the bell at eight at night and my grandmother had a place down the Cape Cod and so when we were down here I was in that water from eight in the morning till eight at night. I was shriveled, I was purple, I was burnt and I loved it. So I just had such a connection like with the ocean and nature and everything. And I would tell that younger person that listen to your heart, go with your heart, stay in your heart. You know, go with your heart, stay in your heart and follow your dreams. Because I got sidetracked but I've come full circle. So I said, even if you did, that doesn't happen. I would tell my younger self, you will end up where you want to be. So I think that's really is. You know that there is something that's going to. You know that there is something that's going to feed your soul.

Speaker 2: 19:59

And that will come to you, however long it may take, beautiful. So our next question is what are some qualities that you look for in a Reiki practitioner? So you had mentioned a little bit about the Reiki teacher that you connected with in the beginning, so tell us some of the qualities that you look for.

Speaker 3: 20:16

So and I want to put this out there because you really do have to research who you're going to work with. You know there are some who are out there and I feel it doesn't feel right to say it but there are some people out there who are not just in it for the Reiki, you know, they're absolutely much more involved with the money or or the TikTok, or the social media or just blowing up something, and so you really have to do research. So what I look for basically is integrity. I mean, that's the biggest thing I look for is, you know, are they honest with what they're doing? The biggest thing I look for is, you know, are they honest with what they're doing? And is their soul, or you know, vested in their energy, their integrity, their energy and their compassion? You know, I mean I really think you can tell a lot by looking at a website, what they choose to put on there. I mean, obviously, social media can, you know, give you all sorts of different understandings of who you're going to work with. But I really think it's integrity, their energy and the compassion that they. You know that you can see when you work with somebody and I have worked with some that I had one experience and you know people kept asking me because I kept going back and they were like well, she really helping you.

Speaker 3: 21:29

You know, you seeing it, dan, and I was like well, kind of it feels reassuring, but she was doing more talking than Reiki on me and stuff like that. And finally she made one remark like oh, we'll keep this up and I'll have my pool paid for. So I was like all right, I guess this isn't working. And the two people that had asked me about this were actually acquaintances of her that I had met them through her. So it was very so. You really you really have to be careful and you really have to trust in your gut. And that was at a time where it was new to me, didn't really know what to expect or hadn't had much experience in what I was doing, and I just, it's just something you think about, you know, just think about don't go in with blinders on just though this person does Reiki, this is it. This is going to be everything. Sometimes it's just not. You know, you just have to really have a good match.

Speaker 2: 22:23

Right, right, it's all about intention too, and that shows you right there. It does come out, it does, it's shown in the light. It's amazing. And those that are out there with not those good intention, the energy will block it. You'll have blockages and you won't get the clients and you're like why isn't this working? You know you have to reset with it. So, no, no, that I mean you can't twist the fabric of reality without it's, you know, coming back and hitting you in the face.

Speaker 3: 22:50

Right, you know exactly. That's exactly right, you know and it's but so you know, my feeling is just. You know it's like with a doctor and I know my parents growing up it's like the doctor was. You know, you never say no to your doctor, you do everything and you never question them nothing. And now it's like no, you have to question, you have to ask the questions, you have to go with your gut and just ask questions and there's no like wrong question. You ask because whatever you're asking, yes, you really need to have an answer. You know to.

Speaker 2: 23:22

so I just read some research before you really, you know, commit to Absolutely yeah, ask the background. I've had clients call me and ask my lineage, ask me how long I've been doing this, ask for different types of videos and things. Where can I find you to watch a session? So those are the good questions to ask practitioners, because it's a relationship you know you're cultivating that. So, yeah, absolutely. So what advice would you give someone who's just entering this profession?

Speaker 3: 23:55

would you give someone who's just entering this profession? I would say the first thing to do is make sure that you have done your self-healing, that you have done your process, your journey that had brought you to this place. And then, like I did soul retrieval, I did shamanism, I kind of did my background and my healing. I worked with different attunements and it just brings you to a point where you'll know if you want, how you want to incorporate Reiki into your life, if you want it to be a professional business or if you just want it to be for yourself or your family or your pet. You know, I mean there's just so many ways that Reiki can benefit you on your journey. And try different modalities. I think that's another big, big part of anybody entering this as a profession Try different modalities, see what works, see what your comfort level is and just keep trying them. I mean it could change. It could change day to day, it could change week to week, but you know, just have an idea of who you are in your center and I think and then it will go from there and you know what.

Speaker 3: 25:06

Ask Reiki, ask Reiki. You know what should I be doing about my profession. You know where is Reiki going to take me? What do I want? You know, what do I see? What does Reiki see? So I think it's really you know. When you're entering this profession, you got to work with the energy for yourself and that will, in turn, benefit your clients.

Speaker 2: 25:27

Right, cultivate that relationship and you give Reiki to that business card, your goals, what you want. Maybe there's a part of your business that is getting too much excess energy but not enough, so people forget that we give it to ourselves, we give it to others, but we can give it to goals and dreams and other things as well.

Speaker 3: 25:47

We can give it to, everything I can give it to everything. Absolutely, I was sending Reiki to this meeting because I was like nervous, I'm like okay, I can give it to my kids.

Speaker 2: 25:53

Absolutely, I was sending Reiki to this meeting because I was like nervous, I'm like okay, absolutely Of course, of course, of course.

Speaker 3: 25:56

I'm looking out here and I'm sending Reiki to the trees. I mean you can send it to anything, anyone, absolutely, even dreams and goals. You know, put it there and you know there's just so much you can do, and sometimes there's so much you can do that's overwhelming. I mean there's just so much information. Let's say you do Reiki, oh my gosh. And there's crystals. And then there's grids, there's just flowers and herbs and booing, you know. So that's where sometimes you know you just have to pull your energy in. You know work with the Reiki and, just you know, come to a decision, you know what it will lead you to, where you want to go.

Speaker 2: 26:33

Absolutely. It is a journey, that is for sure. So what are some of the other modalities that you offer?

Speaker 3: 26:40

Okay, some of the other modalities. I mean I work with crystals, I love working with fairies. One story I have and I just love this is I had bought a mermaid ring, so it had kind. You know it was for my pinky finger and I just loved it. It wasn't expensive but it was fun and I love fun. So I had bought it and you know I really knew that I shouldn't be walking around the house with it. But of course, what did I do? Work around the house, do laundry, do you know? Take out the trash, everything. And and all of a sudden I look at my finger, the ring's gone. It's like, oh, so about a couple weeks I was, you know, looking through. I wasn't frantic about it. It was like, oh, you know, I really liked that ring. But you know, so after a couple of weeks I was like, okay, you know, it's gone.

Speaker 3: 27:20

So about six months later I made a beef stroganoff and for whatever reason, and just put it in the fridge with foil over the cover. And so the next day I went in to get leftovers and my ring is sitting on top of the foil of the cupboard bowl. There is no, there are no shelves in there, no open shelves, no place it could go. It was sitting on top of the foil and I was. I was like, oh my gosh. It was like so you know there's fairies around, you know? I mean it was just like there's no other explanation and I just love that part of it. I mean it's just such a fun story.

Speaker 3: 27:57

So I really like working with all modalities. I mean I have attunements and you know people look at me if I say well, you know work with guides or saints or archangels. But you know the angels are there for anyone. They're non-denominational, the guide to that. All you have to do is ask. You know, if you want something, need something, need help, you just ask, you put it out to the universe and it's not like you have to go out your front door and shout, you know. You can just say in your mind you know somebody there, can you help me? Or you know here's my prayer, here's my wish or here's my dream, and you know, can you help lead me to it?

Speaker 3: 28:31

But you know, so I just love trying all different modalities. You know, I mean I've done. You know, like the Reiki, the Usui, karuna, holy Fire, kid Reiki, animal Reiki, shambhala, you know all sorts of just different things and just I love everything I learned. I've actually taken a step back because you reach a point where you know there's just too much, you know, and that's kind of I just want to pull back in and just, you know, incorporate everything and just kind of you know, see where I'm at with everything. But I'm willing to try all sorts of modalities and just see where it fits in my life and with my Reiki, you know, journey.

Speaker 2: 29:07

Beautiful. Where can our listeners find you if they'd like to book a session with you?

Speaker 3: 29:12

So right now I'm working on my website. It's timelessenergyhealingcom and it's kind of in process. It is up and I am taking very limited sessions right now until May, may and June when I retire. So I'm just working on that now, but that's the best way to contact me.

Speaker 2: 29:30

Perfect. Do you offer in-person and online.

Speaker 3: 29:36

Right now I'm just doing online until I, you know, kind of get my shed set up as a studio and just see where I go, but right now it is just online.

Speaker 2: 29:46

Perfect, beautiful, thank you. Well, thank you so much. This is my section that I usually ask questions for our guests, and I normally pass it over to my co-guy, millie Pampina, who was not able to be here today. So we're going to continue together on this journey, where I'm going to ask you three social media questions. So what I do is we put it up on social media and then I receive questions and I narrow it down to just three. So we're going to begin that journey together. So the first question of our social media is can Reiki help in any way with environmental issues? Now, how perfect is this? Because you have that love of the ocean, right, the dragonfly. So how magical is well synchronicity, so to speak, for this. So, yeah, let us know.

Speaker 3: 30:37

Absolutely. I mean, that's just bottom line. Absolutely, reiki can help with anything and it's really important that the more people that become attuned to Reiki and use Reiki, the more benefit the world will see, you know, the more benefit there'll be in nature. And that's what I love too about the kid Reiki, because they're more apt to go up and hug a tree or, you know, hug a rock or flower, I mean, and for me, you know, that's like, you know, kind of a little out of my comfort zone or childlike zone. But you know what I do it now you know I'll go up and not, you know, touch my tree, give it a hug, thank you. You know the ocean.

Speaker 3: 31:11

Every time I go in I set the intention for Reiki to be healing or to bless the water. A lot of times I'm saying bless this water, I am love and it's just. It's just, it's nice. You know these mantras or something like I send healing to the universe. You can just say that I send healing to the earth, I send healing to Mother Nature, and using my Reiki sessions, I will add that, you know, I, this Reiki session is for so-and-so and also include, you know, mother nature, mother earth, you know mother ocean, whatever.

Speaker 3: 31:40

So I mean it absolutely can benefit. And you can just send it to an issue. You can send it to climate change with the intention that it is going to help improve or help countries and leaders realize and be responsible and accountable for their policies that affect our climate. You can send it to the government. You can send it to bills going through the government laws being set. You can send it to rescue, for wildlife rescue or anything else. So Reiki absolutely can help environmental issues and the more people that do this and send this Reiki to these issues, the more potent and powerful that Reiki and response will be. Beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 2: 32:26

And the International Center of Reiki, you know, has that once a month, where we're sending world peace right To the grids, to the world. So that's how important this is to send it out and share the gift of Reiki with everyone. Thank you. Our next question is is there a particular system of Reiki that you prefer to work with? So you shared some of the other systems that you have studied. Which one do you prefer to work with?

Speaker 3: 32:53

again. Um, I, I just think every my, my reiki is made up of all modalities. So I can't say, because it's like I'm just gonna pull all my symbols in and see what resonates with the client, because when this energy comes through me to the client, they're the ones, their spirits are the ones that are going to decide what they need, and so I just really like to just incorporate it all into like one. You know, not a chi ball, but you know just as energy packet that goes to the client. So you know, it's everything. Every modality has its own wisdom and its own benefit, and so I don't, I really I don't have a preference, because I combine them and just let let it go where it needs to go.

Speaker 3: 33:42

Beautiful, beautiful, I love that, yeah, and when we were doing animal Reiki we were on the um social media and the webcams. So I mean you, you can reach anybody in this day and age, you can reach area, anything, so that you know you're doing the animal reiki there. But you can also there's webcams where you can go and where there's wars or anything and they have live events and you can just be there sending reiki um to that.

Speaker 2: 34:08

so each modality, just you know, in and of itself, um, right, beautiful, beautiful, it is yeah, I even tell my students, like, if you don't have anybody to work with, cause you know, some people live by themselves and they're like, but I'm giving Reiki to my cat, I'm giving Reiki to my dog, get on earth cam. Get on earth cam, pick a location. You know, uh, we pull up bourbon street, give Reiki, put your Reiki bubble, your Reiki trails, you know you can go on zoom cams, right. So there's all of this access right here on your phone, your iPad, your laptop, for you to go out and be a blessing. And then they wouldn't know, right, it's, it's those acts of random kindness that you're sending out to the world.

Speaker 3: 34:49

This is blessings. This is not, you know, individual healing. Where you need protection, this healers sending it out and it's going to go wherever it's needed.

Speaker 2: 34:56

Oh yeah, Even if it's just, I want you to have a blessed day. You know, ease and grace into your life today.

Speaker 3: 35:02

Right Travels, you know, may you get where you're going safely you know, I mean again, just keeping the most empowering thing for me about Reiki is that it can do no harm. So there is nothing I can do, nothing I can do that can do harm when I'm using Reiki.

Speaker 2: 35:20

Absolutely. I mean, even when you look at, you know I'm a yoga teacher. When you look back at the lineage of yoga, there's some stains on there. When you look at massage therapy right, some stains there, right, doctors stains there. Teaching right, I was an elementary teacher. There's some scandals in the history of being a teacher. But where are you finding it regarding Reiki, right? Where? Where is it? I mean, it's not in the news, right? We're not finding it there. So, yeah, it does no harm.

Speaker 3: 35:54

Maybe we just have to, you know, increase the chatter about the Reiki. But I mean, even now, I mean you know the ICRT is leading a lot of this and they're doing the to the research and the scientific research, yes, about the validity of Reiki and the difference it makes.

Speaker 2: 36:15

For sure. And that's why I think I resonated with the International Center of Reiki, because it was evidence-based. They cite their material, you know, through the manual. It's like, okay, where's this information come? And then they cite it and they have the research and they interview the people and they have the recordings. So they have those things to back it up. And then with the medical journals and getting the teams together and having people watch our legislation and how that's going. So that's kind of why I like that, because in a sense with Reiki it's kind of like the Wild West.

Speaker 2: 36:48

We have so many different things and people breaking off and they learn something and it gets lost within like the game of telephone. By the time it gets to another teacher and then you're hearing it from something else is like whoa, wait a minute, that wasn't correct, but that teacher didn't intentionally put that in that way. That's how that teacher was taught. So I like it where it's consistent with that. You open that healing, touch up. Someone who's training in Texas is going to get that same information. Who's learning in France, right? Who's learning in Germany? Who's learning in Japan? So yeah, it's just like get back to the basics, just get back to the basics Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 2: 37:24

Yeah, and our third question and final question, and what has been the most valuable lesson in your Reiki journey?

Speaker 3: 37:34

I think the most valuable lesson I've learned is that anything and everything is possible. It doesn't matter where you are in this moment. You're not going to be there in that next second There'll be some kind of change and Reiki has your back. I guess you know Reiki is just a part of everything I do and Reiki can do no harm, and so I trust in that guidance. You know, and I think you know not only that anything or everything is possible, but you know, to me I mean I used to be a caretaker it's like let me do this for you, let me do this for you, let me do everything. And now and then, I mean I used to be a caretaker it's like let me do this for you, let me do this for you, let me do everything.

Speaker 3: 38:18

And now and then, you know I have taken a step back and I, you know, with this journey is one thing is that I have taken a step back and I just I I'm in the moment, right now, because I can't do anything about what happened a second ago. I can only be where I am right here and and you know, some of it's overdone and stuff I'll be in the moment and stuff. But you know what, if you just try it, just be in that moment and don't try and anticipate it, I can tell you I can make a list and this is what I want to get done today and I say, okay, reiki, here I go, here's my list, and you know what I end up. I think I'm going to clean the kitchen and I'm in closets taking out clothes and taking them to Goodwill. So you know it. Just, it takes you what you need to be doing the most, and so I guess you know it's believing anything impossible and just trusting in the Reiki energy. Beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 2: 39:10

Well, that finishes our third question and final question, but I also want to put out there is there anything else as we were talking that came to you, that you want to tell our listeners?

Speaker 3: 39:22

You know it's so funny. So I love Reiki, it's fun, it's there's science to prove it's in over 800 hospitals in the country now. I mean, so there is a now a trend to go, and I think even some of the younger people are seeing the trend in eating healthier, taking care of your body, taking care of your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, social beings all parts of you, and so I think that's just a trend. So, having said that, you know, and I talked about getting just back to the basics and letting the energy flow and everything, and one of my favorite books actually is Reiki for Dummies. So people, when I tell people that, and they just laugh because I mean Reiki for Dummies, but you know what it's, the basics. It gives you just an easy, comprehensive view of Reiki and itself. So I, you know, I I just love that, you know, and I think that it appeals to anybody. Anybody can read it and you know, just take away from it what you will. But I mean, so for me, you know it's it's really just getting back to the basics and you know, just to do your work on yourself. And you know trust, trust, trust in the energy, trust in Reiki, but you know, trust in yourself.

Speaker 3: 40:39

I mean because I think that's, you know, bottom line is, that's that's where you're living. I mean that's your life, that's where you're living and in that moment you know, every moment, just being yourself. And, and I can't say enough to about having, I have a I am app on my phone. So all of these mantras you know, four or five times during the day I'm interrupted. I am wonderful, I am a magnet for money and abundance. You know, I mean I am beautiful. So I love that because it gives you a second where like, oh, okay, yeah, you know, takes you out of, you know, off my computer and away from work and, you know, gives me a little bit of focus on myself. So I mean that's something so you don't have to forget, like I do. I've got it in my notes and I don't have to forget to go and read them and everything else.

Speaker 3: 41:26

So I think I think just do whatever you can to, you know, keep positive things in your life, and I am is very small one, I mean and just, you know, different books. One other book that I love is the let me see the alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and it's just a wonderful, magical book about a man on a journey and trusting his instincts in this, going with them and ultimately coming full circle to where he wants to be. And that's kind of like to me just the magic and the Reiki at work. You know you've got to go here to learn this or here to learn this, but ultimately you're going to, you know, be what be where you want to be. So you know the more positive you can bring into your life. And I mean even now I don't watch much TV or news. I mean I have I'll get signed up for apps. You know alerts of something, you know majors going on, but you know just. You know just be mindful of what you are exposing yourself to.
