Welcome to Ready Set Reiki.

Speaker 2:

Thank you for having me.

Speaker 1:

Well, let's begin our journey. So a wonderful introduction here, telling us a little bit about you. So we want to hear from you. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I live in London for 28 years now and you might hear my accent, of course, I'm French, I'm a mom of two big and who are now 27 and 24 and and I discovered Reiki, like you said, in Hong Kong and it was very strange. It was in 1994, so it's been quite uh, many years ago, but it's something. I passed my level one over there and something shifted in my life and I was thinking it's quite interesting because I was really practicing only to my on myself. Then I moved to UK because my husband is English and when I had my two kids I was thinking maybe it's time, maybe to develop more my Reiki.

Speaker 2:

And I met this beautiful Reiki master who was an acupuncturist, a Chinese acupuncturist, and I went and passed my little tooth and again I shifted again and it was so much energy, so much detox. I was like, wow, that's quite amazing, all these symbols. I was triggered with it and I was shifted again on something more higher, more my spiritual life was getting, you know, different. I was thinking a lot of things changing in my life. Then it was interesting because I go back to work and suddenly, like I was more in massage, I was thinking it took me seven years between my level one and my level two, like Buddha, and then it took me 10 years to find my master and it was very different because it was another master, so it was a third person.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't the same person and I was like you know what it must be my karma? I need to meet this person for a reason. And then in 2013, yeah, I passed my master. That was magic. I was looking like an old woman at the end of that weekend and I felt everything was different again. I felt it was so powerful and I was working with a gemstone. It was boiling hot in the room and after we went in the garden, I was like talking to the flowers and I was like what the heck is going on? Am I going mad or is that the normal things or is it just the Reiki magic?

Speaker 2:

So this master really took me to the highest I could go and when I passed my attunement, I even went somewhere. I checked with the masters Never been and I was like, wow, I'm quite gifted. Thank you, universe. I'm so grateful and that was something, frankly, emotionally, very, you know, very deep, very, very. You know very deep, very, very deep. And it took me a while, you know, because you have to digest all of that and and and and gradually. You know, I use it, my Reiki, more and more and more and it was higher and higher, more powerful, and I have pictures and I have. I could say to people, I could see people who were talking to them or pictures, or I could feel a lot of things during Mary Key. So it's where, gradually, you can see how you're changing, you're shifting in a different place.

Speaker 2:

Then I decided, when we had COVID, suddenly I felt it was time to be a teacher. And I can't explain to you. It's like a message, it's like the divine telling you it's your time, you need to be a teacher. And I thought why not? After all, you know I'm a good Reiki practitioner. People like it and I can help. I can help like it and I can help. I can help so much and I can support the planet and it's something really universal.

Speaker 2:

So it took me time because I'm passionate, but really I was struggling to pass that teaching and with the COVID it was so difficult. So between the two COVID I went to the lake district and I passed my teaching but I wasn't as sure I was okay and it was a very strange feeling because that teacher, she didn't really attune us and in my heart I was feeling is that a fact or is that me not understanding what's going on? So I went to my old master of my level two and I said to her that's what happened, what do you think? And she said, natalie, I'm sorry, you need an attunement. And I said it's what I thought. If you want not to be a fact, you need an attunement as a teacher. And and she said, definitely. So I passed with her again. Oh, my God, that was so powerful, that was amazing, and I knew I went to the right person that time.

Speaker 2:

So it's very important, I think if you feel in your heart who you choose, your master, who you feel, you feel where, who is a person, your intuition, you knowing your gut, is the right person. Don't choose because your best friend tell you to go. Don't do. That Is what will be my advice. And you need time to digest and process and practice. Yeah, that's, that's. That's I would say about me. I'm passionate and I believe you know what I'm doing. So it's a transformation of life. It's a transformation of life, and what I love is, of course, to have children, because they're so innocent, or animals, because they just say give it, give it, give it to me, love, love, give it to me. They are beautiful. Yeah, so I wrote my books. I've done four manuals beautiful manuals myself. Here I'll show you, and one is for the kids because you need to be fun with them. You can't teach an adult like you teach a child, so yes.

Speaker 2:

I spent my my time when we were covered and all that you know, writing my manuals, doing my certificates, getting ready for everything. Um, I think it's very interesting because I started in a beauty industry and suddenly, you know, the beauty was not any more interesting for me. And then I went in massage and I burn out because I was doing 15, 20 massage by week and I said enough.

Speaker 2:

I now went 58. I said no, I want something else. So what I did last year? I thought that would be interesting as a Reiki master. Okay, I can teach, but what else I could do? So I decided to pass my transformation life coach. So now I'm a coach too.

Speaker 2:

So I thought Reiki, you don't speak, you heal, even if I gave you a reading at the end. But transformation life coach to leave the space to the people to improve their self-awareness and to see themselves through a non-judgmental approach, by exploring the sources of your belief, helping to facilitate profound changes in your life. It's another transformation. So I thought at the end of my Reiki, when we understand which chakra was locked and I explained to you and we just look what's your body telling me, what kind of question I can trigger you with my question, to make you think when you are living, what need to change? When you are living, what need to change.

Speaker 2:

So I thought it was a good complement of my Reiki and I found it lately it's very helpful because mostly people are stuck and it's a repeating patterns. So when you see Reiki, you know your Reiki change every time you're coming is a different story and I thought how interesting. I can now trigger them with my question to make them leave my place thinking hmm, there is something I need to act and change our soul. It's not healing only, it's me. It's my body telling me you need to change. So that's my journey. Telling me you need to change, so that's my journey.

Speaker 1:

So you had mentioned the you know 1994 with the Reiki. So did you find Reiki or did Reiki find you?

Speaker 2:

Reiki find me. I was working at that spa and the girl said come on, nathalie, you must do it. It was not like, do you? Want to be with us. No, it was a kind like let's do it. We are three, come with us. We are going to pass the level one in three days.

Speaker 2:

Just join us and I said, yes, that was very bizarre, it was like it must be there, you know, just waiting for me, and I went with the girls and I remember the name of that Hong Kong lady Deborah Chan, and, oh my God, I was. So you know, it was very powerful and, of course, you learn everything about the regular. But the third day when I had the atomy, I had the diarrhea I'm not telling you All. I really detoxed my colon, that was like, and I was like, wow, what is it? It's so powerful and, yeah, that was something really, and it was. It was an Hong Kong food, it was definitely Hong Kong food. It was definitely the Reiki.

Speaker 1:

Very good, very good. Well, you are out there and your aim is to create a symbolic fusion between Western and Eastern Reiki healing. In your studies and experience, is there a difference between Western and Eastern Reiki healing?

Speaker 2:

That's a good question, because the Western and Eastern styles of Reiki complement each other and the Western is more a left-brain, logical, systematic style Anyone can practice immediately right and the Japanese style is more intuitive and one in which skill is developed over time and thanks to Mrs Takata, because in the late 1930s you know, she was the basis for all Western practice of Ushuaia Reiki. But at the time in the 80s, 90s, when it became very popular, everything changed and it became very all over the world and it's where everything's changed. But I found, with the material of Dr Ushui about the hand position, the great variety of health complaints he had. I'm quite, very close to that as a ex-therapist and also ex-massage therapist. So I quite like I believe I'm quite following Ushuri method. I don't believe that Eastern is better than Western or Western is better than Eastern. It's a compliment. But Eastern is something I found sometimes too fast.

Speaker 2:

Some people said oh, I passed my level one and level two in one weekend and I said, oh, and I'm like, how do you process now? Because personally, as a teacher, I check on my student you pass your level one. It's a massive, massive. You receive that energy, universal life. Energy is not just you know, it's okay, and also the hand position are so important. And to understand, why are you here? So I am maybe old school, but I found you need to process and realize what's going on here. Why do you want Reiki? Why are you going in this path? What's happening to you? And the first person is you before everybody, right? So it's very important to heal yourself before to touch others. It makes sense. So I found it was really some things.

Speaker 2:

I felt very close to dr Hussien because he was very concerned with his clinic, was a trauma. You know, there was an earthquake. He had a lot of people with mentally uh, depression, anxiety and and I felt all the books I read afterwards how to treat the body. I am complete. I like to cover all the body, front and back, and I take the time I need to treat the body. I am complete, I like to cover all the body, front and back, and I take the time. I need to take the time.

Speaker 2:

I'm not out. Oh, it's time. Get out of my table. No, no, no, doesn't work like that. We have to be, we have to be, you know, uh, I would say holistically present. We are transmitter, but we have to be present with them. So it's very important to understand that. And also I found with the eastern, for example, about the symbols. Symbols are so important. I apply all over my room in my hands, but now people wear it in necklace. Put them on Instagram or Facebook or even on their logo. Yes, don't you remember? It's a secret symbol.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it seems to be lost with that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm a little bit concerned about this new generation who have no respect for Reiki, because I think if we are chosen, it's for a reason, and we came here for a reason to give Reiki. So we need to understand. By my own experience and studies, don't I would say Dr Ushui was the first one. Don't forget that. And that makes a massive difference of how you are going to practice your Reiki and how you're going to learn. And read all the books. Please read all the books, because there are so many things you learn in it that the new generation don't know. Right, and I'm quite old school. When I teach my student, I always, always tell them which books to read and taking your time, all right, Wonderful to read and taking your time All right, wonderful.

Speaker 1:

So you have been out and servicing others with Reiki and out there teaching since 2021 and helping them on their healing journey. So, but what has been the biggest challenge, or rather struggle, you have faced in your own healing journey?

Speaker 2:

The biggest challenge, I think rectal practice is simple, simplicity, and I think you think you could, you mustn't complicate anything. So when your clients is coming, just make sure you take the time to prepare yourself and, honestly. The second one is a discipline Make sure everything is done properly. So, challenge, I would say it's more. When a client had a massive trauma, and you mustn't, I would say you are just a transmitter. You can, of course, cry for the person and you can be compassionate, but make sure you carry on your work, just to let the flow going in the body and let them, you know, heal. The flow going in the body and let them, you know, heal, because it's about them, it's not about you. You are just a transmitter.

Speaker 2:

So the challenge is not to be confused between your life and their life. You need to detach yourself in a certain way. You are there but you're not there. You work on them, them, but you don't absorb their problems. Uh, it's true, when you are a good healer, you're very sensible and you have tendency to suck all of it, but you learn to protect yourself. You learn to challenge yourself of no, no, no, I carry on, it's okay. It's okay, blow out, do something during your reiki that you know that save you. And after the reiki go to wash your hands, be whatever, do something, but make sure you protect yourself.

Speaker 2:

But what I would say the most challenge I had it was somebody cursed. Okay, and luckily that they had some tourmaline, because you know the gemstones, I work with the gemstones and fortunately he went out by my mouth and the person was delivered. But I wasn't expecting. But I think you know you are protected, the divine protects you and you are here just to get rid of what they don't need anymore. But that was, yes, someone cursed and after she was fine, the doctor couldn't find what disease she had. She was always sick, couldn't find what it was. She was Russian and it was a very interesting story. She married with that gentleman but he had an ex-girlfriend and this girlfriend from Russia sent her a spell that was crazy.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely crazy.

Speaker 1:

But she's fine now. Very good, very good. So what is a common misconception about Reiki?

Speaker 2:

I would say, people, it's not a religion, it's not a sect, it's about because it's associated with spirituality. People can be confused and say, oh, what is that? Well, it's universal life energy. Oh, what is universal life energy? Be just honest and said well, his name is dr mikao shui. It's very ancient old japanese art. Don't, don't, don't. Don't start to say, oh, it's magic, I am a white witch, come on, come on, come on, um, it's nothing like that, it's just.

Speaker 2:

And if you read the fifth principles of Reiki, you need to understand just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger, honor your parents, teachers and elders. Earn your living honestly, show your gratitude to every living thing. There is nothing like sect or religion or whatever people try to think about around that, and we need to understand it's energy, it's everywhere and Reiki it's a good energy, it's a positive energy, there is nothing wrong with it. So, yeah, we need to be more realistic about like be simple, be honest and just. You know, don't make stories around it. There is, yeah, that's why. So this is yeah. That's why.

Speaker 1:

So, when it is time for you to get an energetic tune-up, what are some qualities that you look for in a Reiki practitioner? Sorry, what is that? When it is time for you to get an energetic tune-up, what are some?

Speaker 2:

qualities that you look for in a Reiki practitioner. Ah, good question. I guess she knows where she puts her hands. Yeah, definitely the hand position on the different chakras to cover all of them, spending at least three minutes on them. Quality is before the person arrives.

Speaker 2:

Make sure you put the symbols in the room in your hands purifications, with the sage placing your gemstones. Get ready for the person coming, a tiny bit of meditation and the Gesho prayer, because that's important. Get ready, make sure you apply your hands on each chakra. Don't make a new version like, oh, yes, it's going to work. Yeah, it can work, but it won't work sufficiently that you can miss something if you don't cover all the chakras. How do you know, you, you, you didn't miss something.

Speaker 2:

So discipline, discipline and and and cover all of it and make sure so at the end you have a glass of water, because you know your mouth is dry and you know I love to wake up also my client, with the sound of the Tibetan bowl, because you know it's like you passed you, you, you are there, but you're not there and it's quite massive healing you you're sending. So, yeah, make sure you, your client, is not cold. Put some reiki, music, candles, crystals. You know it's, it's a tiny bit of relaxing time, it's, it's it's to make the space and the peace and the person move in your room and say, wow, that's nice.

Speaker 2:

here I can see already the Reiki. Yes.

Speaker 1:

So what advice would you give someone who's just entering this profession? What?

Speaker 2:

advice would you give someone who's just entering this profession? My advice first of all, you must know in your heart you want to be a healer, and I think my message will be go in meditation, make sure you're ready to receive reiki, and receive reiki first, because that's the first. You know it's the first I would say step. It's you. And when you are healing yourself and you feel you are ready, that you are ready to learn your level one, we can talk, because that's important. You talk to a teacher to understand what is your purpose, why rec is so important for you, why are you looking for Because it's what it is and then is it something you want to pursue or is it just something just for you, because you can have your level one and you stop? And then it's, of course, our work to explain level two increase the Reiki with the symbols, blah, blah, blah Festival. Is you? So? I would say yeah, anyone who wants to be a Reiki healer. First of all, it's you.

Speaker 2:

Look where the Reiki is taking and shifting your life. What does it do to you? How do you feel after you receive and you've done your 21 or 24 days of Reiki nonstop? How do you feel what's happening here. And discipline you have to put your hands every day. Reiki non-stop how do you feel what's happening here? And discipline you have to put your hands every day Again. Discipline I think that's the Japanese side. Discipline. Take the time for you. Why do you rush constantly? Take some time for you. Instead of scrolling your phone, just go and lay down and put your hands on your chakras. It's so much better, you know.

Speaker 2:

Anyway yeah, take the time.

Speaker 1:

Wonderful. So what books do you recommend? And you can also include in that your creative handbooks that you have for all levels and children.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, well, my books. You can't have them until you study with me. I decided not to sell them. So my Reiki me books are actually when you pass the Reiki with me, but my Bible. I work with it because after I gave you Reiki I always give you a reading. I never let you go Just like that. It's a spirit of Reiki, of the complete book of the Reiki system. I love it. It's Walter Lubeck, frank Aljava, peter and William Lirend. It's an amazing book.

Speaker 2:

And that's my Bible. You can see how he's ruined this book, because in each chakra I explain what's going on and it's not only spiritually, it's also your organs, which organs it's communicating and what is the message there. I love, as other books, the original Reiki handbook of dr mikao shui. Uh, dr mikao shui and frank algeva peter. I love that one. So it's more medical, right, it's more technical, it's more um. So the fact I'm ex massage therapist, you know, and of course I the Ayashi recitement, again very therapeutic, of Frank R Javad, peter Tadao Yamaguchi and Shujiro Ayayashi. And I love the chakra handbook, the Shalila Sharaman and Bodo J Baginski, jay baggins baginski, and I think it's important you understand about chakra because it's your deep emotions you put in your chakra. But if you don't understand about chakra, you can understand reiki, um, and of course there are plenty of authors.

Speaker 2:

I read so many books, I'm not going to tell you all of them, but, um, yeah, you know, you know the Reiki and the Healing Buddha, the Fire Reiki, the Reiki of Kimberley Moon, and you've got so many, so many manuals. I think. Just be curious. That would be my suggestion. Yeah, be curious. Wonderful Read, read, read.

Speaker 1:

So what other services do you offer? Do you offer classes, events, trainings?

Speaker 2:

So what I offer is quite, very simple. I offer the treatment at my home and I have my own creativity Reiki also because I use my essential oils, aura oils, on each chakra and, like x masses, I like to give a light. You know, not real massage, you know like it makes you contenting and relaxed and the smell of the oils make you more, you know, ready to connect with me. So I always, you know, ask first, because that's not for children, only adults. Do you mind if I touch you, because that's important? And second things are you allergic with the oils? And third, okay, are you okay to stay? You will be covered.

Speaker 2:

But just to be in pain for a woman, for example, and and you know the fact, you are so relaxed, you don't mind if I go slowly with the oils and then I apply my hands and people. Actually they are very funny but they feel very, very, you know, okay, it's not. I never had someone who said oh, stop, you know, never, never happened. And I found with the oils is really helpful. But that's my own creativity. So I offer that kind of special treatment and at the start, as so you choose a gemstone and the funny things when you finish the reiki and you just come back slowly with me, you drink your water and then I, okay, I'm going to do your reading and I will going to explain your gemstone.

Speaker 2:

I got my pendulum, my book Sit down, please. And I have always made a message when I am on your heart chakra. It's very interesting, I'm gifted, but I got three times the same message and when I do your reading, the gemstone, the message everything's linked. Very interesting, very interesting. And then you pick a karma card and again the message linked. So that's what I offer my course. So you, when you come, is only on a small group. So, uh, we can be four. I don't take big groups, I don't like it, I like, I like small groups. So you have the manuals, the certificate, you have everything with me and you are covered really completely. And it's taking a weekend and to be master's three days.

Speaker 1:

Okay, beautiful, where can we find you? Do you offer online in person if they want to reach out to book a session or a training with you?

Speaker 2:

Okay so everything is face-to-face with me. I don't do online. I'm someone. I like the presence of the person and so I'm sorry it's in London and I know it's a bit selective, but I believe I, like you, know the contact with a human being and I believe when I tune someone, I need a person in front of me. But that's like I said, I'm non-gingemental, it's two people and so I yeah, so I offer that, and soon I'm going to offer ISO, a group where I'm working with someone else. She's a boxer, so nothing to do with Reiki, but she helped the woman for self-defense and we decided we could do a group with self-defense where she was being charged, then I can do Reiki, then we can have a life coaching group and meditation. So that would be nice. So that would be, uh, in september. Yeah, all right beautiful.

Speaker 1:

Do you have a website or anything that we can? Yes, yes so wwwreikimeinfo.

Speaker 2:

So you go there. You got everything's about what I'm doing All right, wonderful.

Speaker 1:

Well, this ends the first part of our journey and I'm going to continue to guide you into the next part of our journey, which is questions from listeners and Reiki students. So here we go. Question number one how are we all connected energetically and how can we transform the energy of the planet?

Speaker 2:

First of all, we are all one spirit. So in the same way, you are the one consciousness where you are, the one consciousness of every cell in your body. Your consciousness is a cell within the one consciousness of all. So, to transform the energy of the planet, it's interesting because I believe, sending always your own positive energy festival and maintaining a positive outlook. When we are vibrating in a positive place, our vibration is raised high enough to connect to the powerful energy of the universe. So when we are in space, we are in alignment with the flow of the universe and we feel unstoppable.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, passing Reiki to other people, of course that's things, because Re is translated sacred soul, spirit, wisdom and knowledge of all the universe and the key is the life force, energy which flows through every living thing plants, animals, people, everything around us. So I would say, to attune more people and sending Reiki to the planet can always in long-term help. And use the distant symbol to connect, you know, you, to the earth, using symbols for earth healing. Visualize like a huge power symbol, the Chukurai and over the floor, and just send it to the earth. You can have a lot of exercise, you can have a lot of exercise, but use your tool to send your Reiki to earth can always help, always support to earth can always help, always support. And it's about vibration, isn't it?

Speaker 1:

It's the power of that energy is beautiful, Beautiful Question number two how do we balance the energy of our chakras and understand how to protect our energy?

Speaker 2:

and understand how to protect our energy. Mm-hmm, so chakra is a Sanskrit word, okay, meaning wheel or vortex, right, so we can balance the energy of our chakra with self-awareness. It's a cornerstone of chakra balance, allowing us to observe our thoughts, emotions and energy fluctuations with compassion and curiosity.

Speaker 2:

But, developing a deeper understanding of your energy is crucial for maintaining balance. Chakra, For example to pay attention to how you feel throughout the day. Are you feeling sluggish? Root chakra you know imbalance or overly critical? Soul chakra imbalance identify emotional or physical cues can guide you towards the chakra needs attention. So once you suspect an imbalance, explore techniques like reiki, meditation, breast work or yoga pose that targets specific chakra, tracks your progress and we are the master of our own energy right.

Speaker 2:

So to protect everything, I would say it's very important. Yourself has become more sensitive, more intuitive. The vibrational frequencies of your energy body are raised and became more attractive to some of the lower energies. We call them the vampire energetic. So that can make you vulnerable and usually you know the psychic drains you or harmful thought. Suggestion for self-protection draw a large power symbol in front of you Chukuray and step into it saying its mantra three times. That's a good one. Imagine to be wrapped inside the power symbol to protect you from any negativity or harm. Second things imagine yourself in a bubble white or golden light that's field of Reiki for positive energies. Or another one it's a ring of fire. So you are in your bubble of light filled with Reiki. Imagine this ring of fire and outside, Imagine like a shiny eggshell made of mirror, of shiny silver, with effectively forms an energetic boundary around you, so that any negativity or psychic attack sends your way with only rebound back to the sender, because it's reflected by the mirror or silver.

Speaker 2:

That's a good one.

Speaker 1:

Very good. And our third and final question is how can using gemstones for the chakras enhance one's Reiki experience?

Speaker 2:

Use them First of all. Crystals are gifts from Earth that vibrate with a gentle healing energy and promote balance. Use them. They are beautiful. Each of them has vibration that lends itself to various healing energies Each color can follow. You know your chakras Because you know when you enhance your healing for example, you want to enhance a crown, you are going to use a metist, for example, so that's going to calm and your creativity and all that unique crystalline structure seems to be idly suited to holding healing energy. So choose them before. Hold the intent or purpose of healing in your mind. As you select them.

Speaker 2:

Each color will enhance the energy, dispelling negativity from your own energy field and in the environment. It's an excellent channeler of healing energy and also it promotes clear sightness and inspire communication with your higher self. It works with any area of the body. My favorite the rose quartz Love, forgiveness, compassion, compassion. It's unconditional love, which I am very good. Love. I send you a thousand more love. Let's let go anger, you know, resentment, guilt, fears, jealousy. This, this rose quartz. You need it on your night table. You will attract all the love as you need and ease emotional sexual imbalances and then awareness of your true self. I would say, have your favorite one and play with them. But each color represents each chakra, so play with them, put them under your table where you give Reiki, apply on yourself, on each chakra, on the client, and they are very powerful, very good, well, that is our last question, but is there anything else, as we've been talking, that you might have forgotten, or a message that you would like to share with our listeners?

Speaker 1:

You can take the time now to share that with us.

Speaker 2:

I think we covered quite a lot, but I would say, be passionate, come on, be curious, just do it. Just, you know, if you don't know about Reiki, be curious because it's an amazing, amazing tool you can have and it's for life. And also, when you receive Reiki, it changes your life. I promise you something happening in yourself and it's beautiful. It's beautiful, I think. I think, um, mostly people are more and more interesting with reiki because it's it's some, it's a love action, it's it's natural, it's organic. I would say it's organic.

Speaker 2:

It's nothing you know there is and you don't need to take medicine, guys, you don't need medicine. Try to change your routine, your patterns. Try to understand why your stomach ache, why do you have a headache, why your knee hurt. You know what you created all your pain and healing, also about your childhood healing, about your wounds healing about so many things. It's magic when you got the power to apply your hands on yourself, you don't have to run to the doctor and, by the way, wait maybe one or two hours before you can see a doctor now. So, come on, guys, you got your hands. Use them. Use them. They're magic.

Speaker 1:
