WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.740 But I think a lot of it is you get what you think 00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:06.299 you will get. You know, if you're going to it 00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:08.880 with a cynical mind, then yeah, you're not gonna 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.480 fully invest. You're not gonna fully believe 00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.320 and you're gonna get exactly what you think you're 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.879 gonna get. If you go in believing and you're 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.179 open to healing this part of your body, then 00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:23.120 yeah, you're gonna come out feeling like a million 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:30.309 bucks. Welcome back to Keep It Good. I'm your 00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:34.369 host Carly and I'm your host Emily. Today we 00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:37.149 are going to be talking about Reiki. I'm new 00:00:37.149 --> 00:00:40.890 to this, but I got my first experience last week 00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:45.310 with Carly. It was so great. I wanted to share 00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:47.810 about it because it felt so good. It was just 00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:49.929 a really, really good experience. But let's start 00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:53.490 off with why, what made you want to do this and 00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:57.350 get certified in Reiki? So if you know me, you 00:00:57.350 --> 00:01:01.960 know I'm really spiritual and I love I just love 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.200 all the magical little mystical things and I 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.140 feel like energy is right up there with that. 00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:11.519 I'm a big believer in like natural healing and 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.840 all these things. I go to get psychic readings 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.099 a lot and tarot cards, runes, and I just, I love 00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:19.959 it. I think it's just really cool and fun. So 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.859 a lot of times the psychics would tell me, you 00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:24.719 have healing hands. You need to start working 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.840 with your hands more and this and that. And I 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.280 always associated that with nursing. And I'm 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.000 like, well, that's, I'm right there doing what 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.819 I'm supposed to be doing then. So it wasn't until 00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:38.859 this past November that we went to Florida and 00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:43.620 I go to this psychic and she told me everything 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:47.379 about my son. All right. And she knew like all 00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:49.799 the struggles that we had. And she says, again, 00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:54.340 you have healing hands and you should really, 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:57.079 you know, tap into Reiki. You should learn Reiki 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.180 and you should do this with your son. I think 00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:02.540 it'll really help not only him, but you as well. 00:02:03.070 --> 00:02:05.409 And so I kind of put that in my back pocket and 00:02:05.409 --> 00:02:09.330 I was like, interesting. I've heard of Reiki. 00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:13.949 I'd never had it done myself. I always wanted 00:02:13.949 --> 00:02:17.009 to. It was on my bucket list, but I never thought 00:02:17.009 --> 00:02:21.509 of myself as getting certified. And it was like 00:02:21.509 --> 00:02:24.110 serendipity. One day I just showed up at yoga 00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:27.550 and the owner said, hey, weren't you interested 00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:30.469 in getting certified in Reiki? She's doing a 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:33.969 class tomorrow. Of all Saturdays, I wasn't working. 00:02:34.069 --> 00:02:36.930 We didn't have anything planned and I said, yeah, 00:02:36.969 --> 00:02:39.930 okay This is like meant to be so that's how I 00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:43.129 ended up getting certified and getting my attunement 00:02:43.129 --> 00:02:46.629 You know, I'm I'm a beginner. I'm a level one 00:02:46.629 --> 00:02:50.949 practitioner right now, but It's been really 00:02:50.949 --> 00:02:54.370 cool a very cool experience is awesome. How many 00:02:54.370 --> 00:02:57.830 levels are there? So there's three levels and 00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:00.409 then you can be a master The master you really 00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.729 want to go into if you're going to be like teaching. 00:03:03.349 --> 00:03:05.750 I don't think I'll ever get to that. This isn't 00:03:05.750 --> 00:03:09.789 like something that I got into to do for a job 00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:15.550 or career, but maybe I'll learn little by little 00:03:15.550 --> 00:03:18.449 as I go. It's just kind of getting my feet wet 00:03:18.449 --> 00:03:21.030 and experimenting a little bit with my family. 00:03:21.129 --> 00:03:23.330 You know, I did it on my husband. I do it on 00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:26.689 both my boys now and they all love it. It's just 00:03:26.689 --> 00:03:30.210 a cool relaxation. It's just something new to 00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:33.509 try and I'll do it on friends and family, whoever's 00:03:33.509 --> 00:03:36.710 in need, but no, I'm not gonna, I don't think 00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:38.969 I'm gonna go too far into it, you know. Changing 00:03:38.969 --> 00:03:43.310 career paths, no? Not right now, no. So what 00:03:43.310 --> 00:03:45.710 happened was last week, I was under the weather. 00:03:46.289 --> 00:03:48.090 I was getting a cold. I still probably sound 00:03:48.090 --> 00:03:51.310 a little bit sick, but typically when I get sick, 00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:54.330 I... like it always goes to my chest. I get a 00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:56.509 terrible cough. It lasts for weeks, sometimes 00:03:56.509 --> 00:03:58.990 into bronchitis. I lose my voice. It's all the 00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:01.610 things. So she was like, you know what, why don't 00:04:01.610 --> 00:04:03.689 you come over and let me do Reiki on you and 00:04:03.689 --> 00:04:06.050 just, you know, have like a relaxing morning. 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:09.370 I'm like, oh, that sounds amazing. So I went 00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:11.650 over and Carly has this beautiful little room 00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:15.330 in her home and she did on me and it was an hour 00:04:15.330 --> 00:04:20.269 long. It did not feel that long at all. So Basically, 00:04:20.269 --> 00:04:23.310 she has this table set up. She has heating, blankets, 00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:25.269 and all that. I was super comfy. You are fully 00:04:25.269 --> 00:04:30.589 dressed. And it's energy, right? I mean, it's 00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:32.410 an energy healing. You're not getting like a 00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:37.009 massage. Right. It's totally different. And so 00:04:37.009 --> 00:04:40.089 reiki itself, the word reiki means universal 00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:44.069 light force energy. So this I learned, it's a 00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:47.149 Japanese healing technique using gentle touch. 00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:51.670 And it promotes relaxation, balancing energy. 00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:55.110 And it really just enhances your natural ability 00:04:55.110 --> 00:04:58.350 to heal itself, which is what was so intriguing 00:04:58.350 --> 00:05:01.230 to me is I'm a big believer of energy. I feel 00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:03.269 like your energy enters the room before you do. 00:05:03.470 --> 00:05:06.050 I mean, you can just feel it on people. And it 00:05:06.050 --> 00:05:10.490 works with your chakras and rebalancing, just 00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:14.490 keeping you in a good state. I just love all 00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:17.459 of that. all the ideas of that. Yeah, it was 00:05:17.459 --> 00:05:20.100 so cool. So Carly went over how many chakras 00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:22.959 are there? So seven? There's seven. Yeah. So 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.399 she went over all the chakras with me before 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.420 we started what they mean and what they hold. 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.360 And as she's going through them, I'm like, Oh, 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.399 like, I don't really have that symptom. I'm probably 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.560 okay. Or, okay, that one maybe is closed off 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.000 because that's essentially what you're doing 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.319 to correct. You're opening up these chakras and 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.819 you go through that first on the person's body. 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.660 Yeah, so typically, I mean, everybody does it 00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:52.379 differently. Each Reiki practitioner has their 00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:55.399 own little flow. I'm still learning as I go. 00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.379 But every time I practice, I feel like I get 00:05:57.379 --> 00:06:02.180 a little bit more in tune with it. And so I'll 00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:05.399 check everyone's chakras. And so you have seven 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.819 chakras. And it's basically like energy portals 00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:10.759 in your body, right? And you have... starting 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.139 from your root chakra, which is down at the bottom 00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:16.339 of your spine. And that's all about security, 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.600 survival, stability. And then it goes all the 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.519 way up to the crown of your head. And that's 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.279 your crown chakra. And that one's pretty much 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.519 about like your highest level of consciousness. 00:06:27.860 --> 00:06:31.319 And it's your spiritual enlightenment. Then you 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.389 have, you know, moving down your third eye. is 00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:38.329 inner wisdom, insight. Your throat chakra is 00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:41.470 all about communication, self -expression. Your 00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:44.850 heart chakra is compassion, self -love, forgiveness. 00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:48.430 Your solar plexus chakra is confidence, self 00:06:48.430 --> 00:06:51.850 -esteem. And your sacral is your pleasure, emotions, 00:06:52.050 --> 00:06:54.189 and your relationship. And then it goes back 00:06:54.189 --> 00:06:57.730 to your root chakra. So if anything is blocked, 00:06:58.350 --> 00:07:00.730 a lot of the imbalances can have physical... 00:07:02.310 --> 00:07:04.810 manifestations in your body, low self -esteem, 00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:08.370 depression, anxiety, all of these things. And 00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:12.209 I, when I got my entombment, I had never felt 00:07:12.209 --> 00:07:18.009 more just aware, like self -awareness and just 00:07:18.009 --> 00:07:20.389 connected to like a higher being, you know, cause 00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:22.509 everything was open, everything was aligned. 00:07:23.389 --> 00:07:26.689 You're just kind of in this flow state, you know, 00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:32.439 where you're just calm. you're very much just 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.579 open, your mind is open to any and all possibilities. 00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:38.439 It was just a really cool experience. But yeah, 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.759 so I would start with the chakras, see what's 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.240 blocked. And then throughout the whole Reiki 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.779 process, you kind of scan the body and see where 00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:51.860 energy is stagnant or where you really need to 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:54.480 focus a little bit more. Now, if you think of 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.009 Reiki as water, right? or like water running 00:07:59.009 --> 00:08:01.810 through a stream. You know how leaves get bunched 00:08:01.810 --> 00:08:06.430 up? There's a dam. The water doesn't flow like 00:08:06.430 --> 00:08:09.970 naturally. So what Reiki does is basically gets 00:08:09.970 --> 00:08:13.189 rid of the leaves so that you can have an awesome 00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:16.670 flow of this energy throughout your body. We 00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:21.490 have these energy portals and I mean, Reiki is 00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:25.410 just, it's just magical. I just loved it. I love 00:08:25.410 --> 00:08:28.420 learning about it. Just one more little trick 00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:31.000 to add to my little tool belt for life. Oh, that's 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.500 so awesome. And when you did me, I was blocked, 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.480 right? All my chakras. Or there was one that 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.340 was open maybe, but six at least were closed 00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:43.639 off. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. So you use a little pendulum 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.220 and you see the movements. And it's wild because 00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:50.320 I'm like a believer of things, but I still have 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.860 my cynical side. Like, oh, is this really true? 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.620 You know? But now, learning it and doing it, 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.320 you can see it. And I'm not moving this pendulum. 00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:03.000 It's not me. Reiki isn't coming from me, personally. 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.159 Once you're attuned and you're certified, you're 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.220 bringing it from the universe. You're like a 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:13.879 portal for this energetic healing. And it's just 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.100 so cool. Some people might not believe in it, 00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:19.059 and that's fine. But for me, it's like, how can 00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:20.919 you not believe that these things exist when 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.539 we're living in this planet? in this galaxy, 00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:27.940 we don't even know half of what is real and what's 00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:32.059 not, you know? So I just, it's just one more 00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:34.299 way to stay positive in this world that's a little 00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:37.799 bit, you know, not so positive right now. Like 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.460 other things we've talked about, it's just nice 00:09:40.460 --> 00:09:43.399 to have something extra to think of, you know? 00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:46.139 And just having that positive energy and that 00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:48.960 vibe, it was just a really, really cool experience. 00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:53.409 So I just wanna share. what I felt because I 00:09:53.409 --> 00:09:55.809 was just not sure. I've also go to this yoga 00:09:55.809 --> 00:09:58.429 studio that Carly's speaking of. I've practiced 00:09:58.429 --> 00:10:01.309 yoga for 15 years. I've known that that woman 00:10:01.309 --> 00:10:03.570 was there. And obviously there's other practitioners 00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:06.389 in our area. But if I take the time to do something 00:10:06.389 --> 00:10:08.769 for myself, typically it's massage or to see 00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:11.029 my chiropractor. I just haven't taken the time 00:10:11.029 --> 00:10:13.350 to, you know, try Ricky or anything else like 00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:17.320 that. Um, so I really didn't know. anything or 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.620 what it was going to feel like. I didn't know 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:20.259 she was actually touching me. If her hands were 00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:23.980 hovering, I knew nothing. So she checked my chakras 00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:28.919 and she basically scans the body and she went 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.059 around with her hands like on all different, 00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:34.860 you know, sections. You started at my head and 00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.519 there was two spots on my head. I think, you 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.320 know, you start with one, then you move to another. 00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:43.519 And once she got to my shoulders, that's when 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.919 I could feel Like this energy exactly what you're 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.620 talking about. I just started to feel Bubbles, 00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:53.559 it's maybe hard to explain but I started to feel 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.100 these bubbles and mainly where she was which 00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:58.799 was on top of my shoulders like I'm I think of 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.919 it kind of like boiling water like those little 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.820 bubbles that come up, but it wasn't like a burning 00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:06.360 boiling sensation, but kind of like little pops 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.519 and she worked from one side say the left side 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.909 all the way around back to my right and I kind 00:11:14.909 --> 00:11:17.210 of felt those bubbles a little bit everywhere 00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:19.389 throughout my whole body as she was going through 00:11:19.389 --> 00:11:22.649 it. And that was my first sign that something 00:11:22.649 --> 00:11:25.429 was happening. It was really, really cool. You 00:11:25.429 --> 00:11:28.029 also had told me that some people feel nothing 00:11:28.029 --> 00:11:30.230 or see nothing. Some people hear stuff, some 00:11:30.230 --> 00:11:33.210 people see things. And once you went around my 00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:35.450 body the first time, because you did it, what, 00:11:35.450 --> 00:11:38.950 two or three times? Okay, because you get a little 00:11:38.950 --> 00:11:41.690 lost in it because it's just so relaxing. But 00:11:41.690 --> 00:11:44.009 when she got through my body the first time, 00:11:44.210 --> 00:11:48.029 I did start to see color. I was seeing like a 00:11:48.029 --> 00:11:51.330 light pink, maybe even a lavender tone of color. 00:11:51.409 --> 00:11:52.669 You know, it's black when your eyes are shut, 00:11:52.669 --> 00:11:54.450 but there was some color kind of coming through. 00:11:54.649 --> 00:11:57.429 And I did notice that I felt a little heavy, 00:11:57.429 --> 00:12:00.809 but also like I was floating, like my muscles 00:12:00.809 --> 00:12:04.870 and my body didn't want to move. But yeah, like 00:12:04.870 --> 00:12:06.889 a floating, I don't know, it was heavy, but floating. 00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:09.419 It was a really neat feeling and I just felt 00:12:09.419 --> 00:12:12.100 calm. It was just very calming all over. My body 00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:15.740 was warm and cozy, but my hands and my feet were 00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:18.200 a little bit cold, which was interesting too. 00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:20.039 I wasn't feeling chilly and I wasn't feeling 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.919 overheated, but you could definitely feel like 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.580 there was a lot of warmth going through my body. 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.320 It was just a really neat experience. And at 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.259 the time when I lay down, I did not have much 00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:33.259 of a voice. And afterwards I had my voice the 00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:36.720 rest of the day, which was kind of weird, right? 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.879 Yeah, that was so strange. I mean, when you think 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.399 about it, so like what I learned is Reiki, it 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.440 has all these awesome benefits, okay? So it can 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.340 lower your stress level. It can improve your 00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:54.639 immune system, which you pretty much felt. It 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.740 releases any negative feelings or thoughts. It 00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:00.120 can improve your circulation, your blood flow. 00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:03.740 It can help with your sleep, your energy. It 00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:06.500 can help lower pain if you have chronic pain 00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:10.240 or inflammation, helps with anxiety, and just 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.019 lifts your mood. I mean, the list goes on and 00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:14.320 on and on about all these benefits to Reiki. 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.080 What I had gotten into it for was for my son. 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.659 So Reiki for kids is really cool because it encourages 00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:25.299 self -awareness. It can help with things like 00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:28.720 anxiety, confidence, sleep. It's really good 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.419 for ADHD and autism. It helps them just kind 00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:35.870 of gain like this positive attitude about themselves. 00:13:36.169 --> 00:13:37.669 You know, there's bullying, there's all these 00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:41.450 things in school. And Reiki can just kind of 00:13:41.450 --> 00:13:45.789 center them every day and just give them a really 00:13:45.789 --> 00:13:48.690 good sense of who they are, you know, and that 00:13:48.690 --> 00:13:51.429 protective shield. I don't do it every night 00:13:51.429 --> 00:13:54.970 with him or my other son, but they love it. I 00:13:54.970 --> 00:13:58.330 turn this whole room into a relaxation yoga room. 00:13:59.049 --> 00:14:01.250 And the other night I was like, okay, do you 00:14:01.250 --> 00:14:04.190 guys want to watch? Whatever on TV or do you 00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:06.370 want Reiki and they both said Reiki and I'm like, 00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:10.870 oh like that's Yeah, it was like the last time 00:14:10.870 --> 00:14:14.210 we did it he cried because he felt like he was 00:14:14.210 --> 00:14:18.210 releasing all the stress from the day like it 00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:21.190 can be super powerful sometimes and I feel like 00:14:21.190 --> 00:14:24.809 it is bringing us like closer, you know in this 00:14:24.809 --> 00:14:28.730 lane because it does it helps me to as I'm giving 00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:33.379 Reiki I Get Reiki through it And I've never gotten 00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:37.519 Reiki before in my life, before getting the attunement. 00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:41.419 So I didn't know what it felt like or anything 00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:45.620 like that. But now I can feel it. Sometimes I 00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:49.200 get tired. Sometimes I get energy. It all depends, 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:53.799 I think, on who you're working on. That makes 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.100 sense. Yeah. I feel like I pick up on their energy 00:14:57.100 --> 00:15:01.179 a little bit. But it's just wild. It's been super 00:15:01.179 --> 00:15:04.840 cool. little journey that we're on since the 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.980 new year here. So that was going to be one of 00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:08.379 my questions, which you pretty much answered, 00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:10.759 but do you get energy from it? So like, what 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.679 does it feel like to you? Or does it depend on 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.940 who you're working on? Well, so when I was working 00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:20.580 on you, I don't know if you felt it, but my hands, 00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:25.120 like my pinky, at one point, it was just like 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.600 had a mind of its own. It was freaking out and 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.279 it was twitching and it was really strange like 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.379 that. typically didn't ever happen to me before. 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.960 Most of the time I have like a tingling feeling 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.919 in my hands, and that's how I kind of know where 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.740 it's blocked. The girl that I did on Saturday, 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.799 I've been like kind of doing it for free at this 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:53.220 place, and the girl that I did it for, my right 00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:56.159 thumb, every time I went over her knee, it was 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.899 like a zap, like just my right thumb, and I'm 00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:02.190 like, this is so weird. And I'm like, because 00:16:02.190 --> 00:16:04.710 I'm kind of learning as I go too. And so that's 00:16:04.710 --> 00:16:07.090 why I'm not charging anybody, because I'm just 00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:10.570 a novice. Like, I'm literally just experimenting 00:16:10.570 --> 00:16:15.110 right now, you know? So I was like, wow, this 00:16:15.110 --> 00:16:18.169 is interesting. What is this? And I would go 00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:20.610 around every other part, and then I'd get back 00:16:20.610 --> 00:16:23.309 to her knee, and my right thumb would zing. And 00:16:23.309 --> 00:16:26.210 I'm like, OK. So then I held it there, and I 00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:29.539 let the energy do its thing. And then it slowly 00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:32.679 started to go away, like the zing of my finger. 00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:34.860 And I was like, okay, so I think that's the universe 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:37.080 saying that that part is cleared now. You know, 00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:40.419 it's kind of just like listening to your body 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:42.720 and their body at the same time. So it's very, 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.039 it's a really cool connection. Yeah, I've definitely 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.440 felt some of the vibrating. That's like what 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.200 it felt like to me of your hands. Like when you 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.200 were touching me, I know you don't always, you're 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.350 above. the body as well, but I definitely felt 00:16:57.350 --> 00:17:00.710 some of that vibrating. And I noticed sometimes 00:17:00.710 --> 00:17:03.549 your hands felt really warm in certain areas 00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:06.150 and other times it felt cool. Like the hands 00:17:06.150 --> 00:17:10.950 felt cooler. So yeah, some people like it's really 00:17:10.950 --> 00:17:13.549 cool to watch everybody's experience because 00:17:13.549 --> 00:17:16.990 they're all different. I did one of our friends 00:17:16.990 --> 00:17:20.269 and he was twitching and it would be like I'm 00:17:20.269 --> 00:17:22.890 touching like his left shoulder and his right 00:17:22.890 --> 00:17:24.829 foot would twitch and that makes sense because 00:17:24.829 --> 00:17:27.369 the portals like and that was explained to me 00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:29.490 that you will feel it in other parts of your 00:17:29.490 --> 00:17:32.470 body because the reiki goes where it needs to 00:17:32.470 --> 00:17:35.410 go if that makes sense yeah like wherever your 00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:37.650 body needs natural healing is where the reiki 00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:42.650 is going to go and uh it's just so cool to watch 00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.970 and learn this new skill are there any side effects 00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:51.750 to reiki no I have not heard of any known side 00:17:51.750 --> 00:17:56.150 effects, um, other than just benefits. I mean, 00:17:57.109 --> 00:18:00.690 better sleep, energy, like all the things, you 00:18:00.690 --> 00:18:05.190 know. And chakras won't open all like right off 00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:07.529 the bat. That doesn't happen all the time. It 00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:10.309 could take a few sessions to really open your 00:18:10.309 --> 00:18:12.990 chakras. Like if you have really pent up trauma, 00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:16.309 you know, that you're not going to learn how 00:18:16.309 --> 00:18:19.119 to communicate right off the bat or... You know, 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.599 like there's, it's a process for sure, as is 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.680 therapy, anything else, you know, and this is 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:31.779 not to replace any traditional therapies. This 00:18:31.779 --> 00:18:36.380 is just kind of incongruent with your normal, 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.119 typical medical treatments. This just aids in 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.799 it. So like, you know, it can help with radiation, 00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:48.680 chemotherapy, it could help with you know if 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.339 you um if you just have any type of chronic pain. 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.839 Now I wouldn't defer completely from your normal 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.460 um you know therapies that actually help but 00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:01.500 this is just an alternative in addition to. Yeah 00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:04.339 that makes plenty of sense. I mean like I said 00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:07.839 I was had just started getting sick typically 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.259 I think I said I would go to my chest I get bronchitis 00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:15.779 often and I feel so much better at this point 00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:19.450 I would already be coughing for many days. So 00:19:19.450 --> 00:19:21.390 if it, you know, you said it boosts immunity 00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:25.849 and I feel pretty good. So cool. So I'm going 00:19:25.849 --> 00:19:28.750 to attribute it to me feeling better for sure. 00:19:29.369 --> 00:19:31.549 Um, but yeah, it was just a really neat process 00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:34.230 and I hope that you will take me again. I got, 00:19:34.490 --> 00:19:37.049 of course. Um, cause I would love to do it when 00:19:37.049 --> 00:19:39.210 obviously I'm feeling better too, to really feel 00:19:39.210 --> 00:19:42.210 that energy. Yeah. And to see a difference in 00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:44.250 like how you feel afterwards. Yeah, totally. 00:19:44.329 --> 00:19:47.460 Well, especially since I was so blocked up. Like 00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:50.660 there's other ways that you can actually practice 00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:53.400 keeping your chakras open is like meditation, 00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:57.359 yoga, journaling, getting out in nature. Like 00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.240 these are all good things to kind of keep yourself 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.460 grounded and open. I didn't realize how closed 00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:05.940 off I was as well. I kind of, you know, in high 00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:09.099 school I was very much into this stuff and maybe 00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:12.119 my early 20s. And I don't know, some part of 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.180 me just kind of got into this rut of like work. 00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:18.109 this, kids, this, da -da -da -da -da, you know? 00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:22.789 And I've just kind of been tapping back into 00:20:22.789 --> 00:20:26.289 my old self again and things that kind of excited 00:20:26.289 --> 00:20:30.329 me or, you know, I was interested in but never 00:20:30.329 --> 00:20:33.529 really took the time to get into it, you know? 00:20:33.970 --> 00:20:38.910 Like, I just love the idea of alternative therapies. 00:20:39.309 --> 00:20:43.099 Yeah. You know? I mean... Even just our talk 00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:46.539 with like skin care and food and all these things. 00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:49.640 I think everything is just kind of Interconnected 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:54.259 your your mind body spirit It works as a team, 00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.380 you know, and this is just something that kind 00:20:57.380 --> 00:21:01.200 of helps your spirit and your soul and It has 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:06.380 benefits, you know Beyond the list I even gave 00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:09.539 it. Yeah, it's just so cool Well, I think with 00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:11.359 having kids like you said, you want to do everything 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.019 you can for your children and you finding something 00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:17.400 else to help your boys is incredible. It's amazing 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.579 to have something else that you said in your 00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:22.460 tool belt. And now you do and you're seeing the 00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:26.980 benefits of it. So yeah, I joke like, you know, 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:29.619 my friends will call me a witch. I'm not a bad 00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:32.119 witch. I don't practice magic or anything like 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.599 that. You're a good witch. Yeah, I just love 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:38.430 like, you know, lighting incense or Like, I have 00:21:38.430 --> 00:21:40.609 these tarot cards that I'll read at my party, 00:21:40.690 --> 00:21:43.630 but I'm not really a witch, you know? I know, 00:21:43.630 --> 00:21:47.430 but it's fun, and it is so nice to be in your 00:21:47.430 --> 00:21:50.809 company because of that positive vibe and energy 00:21:50.809 --> 00:21:54.670 that you bring to a lot of things, and it just 00:21:54.670 --> 00:21:59.009 feels good. Yeah, I want to just make everyone 00:21:59.009 --> 00:22:02.150 feel the best that they can who is next to me. 00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:06.269 Like, I'm very much into karma. I would never... 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.940 wish bad on anyone because I feel like whatever 00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.519 you put out into the universe is what you're 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.000 going to get back. So this is just another way 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.559 for me to put out a little bit more positivity, 00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:20.819 a little bit of extra vibes, you know, to the 00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:22.880 people that I really care about the most, my 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.240 friends and my family. This isn't my career, 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.559 but I would absolutely donate my time because 00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:31.519 it does. It just, it gives people hope. It gives 00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:35.779 people relaxation. If it helps with their pain 00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:38.839 and suffering, like, yeah, I will absolutely 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.519 donate my Saturday to bring upon this energy 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.200 to anyone who comes in contact with me. If it's 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.519 not mine to hold, it's mine to share, you know? 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.180 Yeah. But I would never take money for it. I 00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:54.799 just think it's magic from the universe that 00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:59.619 it just, you know, sprinkle a little bit of positivity 00:22:59.619 --> 00:23:02.440 into everybody that I meet. I love it. That's 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.529 great. No, it was... Honestly, a wonderful experience. 00:23:05.650 --> 00:23:09.410 10 out of 10. I highly recommend it. I think 00:23:09.410 --> 00:23:11.410 if you can find some time to do something like 00:23:11.410 --> 00:23:14.829 that for yourself, like it was incredible. It 00:23:14.829 --> 00:23:17.009 felt really, really good. If you picture it like 00:23:17.009 --> 00:23:19.609 a massage, you know, you go to get massage to 00:23:19.609 --> 00:23:23.450 relax and all these things. This doesn't feel 00:23:23.450 --> 00:23:26.670 as good as a massage would, you know, because 00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:28.690 massage, oh my God, there's nothing like it. 00:23:28.690 --> 00:23:32.809 But this is like a massage for your soul. Ooh, 00:23:32.970 --> 00:23:36.390 that was good. Yeah, exactly what it is. Yeah, 00:23:36.730 --> 00:23:40.750 so you just come out of it. In my experience, 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:44.190 you feel lighter, you feel more positive. You 00:23:44.190 --> 00:23:48.289 just have this like glow, you know, and you're 00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:51.650 just in like this positivity little bubble. I 00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:56.710 love, I love how everyone so far has been just 00:23:56.710 --> 00:23:59.670 saying that was like the most relaxing thing. 00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:02.839 And it feels like 20 minutes. Like, it's like 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.779 a time warp. Yeah, definitely. It's almost like 00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:09.539 meditation. You know, you kind of just let your 00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:12.839 mind kind of wander. I put on really cool, chill 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.920 music that's like Zen and meditation music. I'll 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.059 use the frankincense or lavender, essential oil, 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.480 and healing stones. Like, as much as I say I'm 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:24.480 not doing this for my job, I really invested. 00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:30.660 That's true. Yeah, no like my house looks very 00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:34.059 legit very professional. It's a very Zen room. 00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:37.579 I Went full force. I said if I'm doing this I'm 00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:40.359 doing it right and my husband he's so cool my 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.960 husband He's just like yeah, let's do it. You 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.819 know he'll try he'll try anything his thing like 00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:52.700 he just laughs You know when I do it to him He'll 00:24:52.700 --> 00:24:55.200 find his peace someday. It's just probably, yeah, 00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:57.180 it's your wife doing this. You're just, yeah. 00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.279 I know. I feel like he has a hard time relaxing 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:04.099 anyway, but yeah, he's my toughest client so 00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:07.160 far. Yeah. Understandable. Understandable. But 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.880 my kids have totally taken to it. And I was surprised 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.460 because you have, you know, I have two little 00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:16.980 boys, keeping them still, just to eat dinner 00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:20.900 alone. Like, no, I was like, okay, let's, we'll 00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:23.440 see how this goes. And I started off with like 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:28.220 10 minutes slowly, but they were just like in 00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:31.700 it. Like they put their little eye mask on. They 00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:34.660 know what to expect now. The other day I did 00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:36.880 it for a half an hour each on both of them and 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.619 they slept great. It was just like, I love it. 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.119 I'm totally obsessed with it now. But I think 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.279 a lot of it is you get what you think you will 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.900 get. You know, if you're going to it with a cynical 00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:53.819 mind, then yeah, you're not gonna fully invest, 00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:56.019 you're not gonna fully believe, and you're gonna 00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:58.640 get exactly what you think you're gonna get. 00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:03.460 If you go in believing and you're open to healing 00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:05.599 this part of your body, then yeah, you're gonna 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.259 come out feeling like a million bucks, you know? 00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:12.079 Like a million times better than when you walked 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:16.599 in. So I'm excited to see how this transpires 00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:18.799 throughout the year, but... Thanks for letting 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:21.539 me kind of experiment on you. It was awesome. 00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:23.059 And that's why I want to talk about it. Because 00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:26.039 I think, you know, why people don't know about 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.759 it. Like I said, I've known this woman to be 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.779 at our yoga studio for years. And I just never 00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:33.599 took the time. And I don't know if I still even 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:35.240 would have. Maybe it would take me 10 more years. 00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:38.440 So thank you for giving me your energy. Because 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.660 it was amazing. Well, you're so welcome. Anytime, 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:46.519 my friend. Anytime. So like we said. In the beginning, 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.700 just, you know, this is something new to try. 00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:53.160 Mind, body, spirit, it's all connected. If you 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.720 feed yourself well, if you have your good morning 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.319 and nighttime routine, and now this is just something 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.700 that you can maybe dabble into to open those 00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:07.259 chakras and see where this leads for you. I'm 00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:09.240 gonna leave you with this quote that I found 00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:15.480 today. It's from W .B. Yeats, and it goes, The 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.079 world is full of magical things, patiently waiting 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.779 for our senses to grow sharper. And that's pretty 00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:27.819 cool. It is filled with magical things. You just 00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:31.440 have to be willing to see them. And I hope that 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.240 throughout this week, you're just kind of opening 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:36.720 your mind to different things, different ways 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.220 of healing, alternative ways of healing your 00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:44.660 body. So I hope you have a magical week. And 00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:46.099 as always, keep it good.
