Latest / Reiki Radio Podcast / You As the Mystic, Celebrating Reiki Radio!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful alchemist. Welcome to September, 2026. Where do I
- 0:09Speaker 1: even begin with what I wanna share with you? One,
- 0:14Speaker 1: I have to say, I am looking forward to this energy.
- 0:18Speaker 1: I was looking at my calendar and every year, September
- 0:24Speaker 1: sparks some level of creativity for me. And I wonder what...
- 0:30Speaker 1: you may notice about this energy for you. With that,
- 0:37Speaker 1: I am coming up on the 13th anniversary or birthday
- 0:41Speaker 1: of Reiki Radio. September 4th will be 13 years since
- 0:48Speaker 1: Reiki Radio started. And every year, it seems unbelievable just
- 0:55Speaker 1: that it has lasted this long. although I have been
- 0:58Speaker 1: thinking about the iterations. So if you've been listening to
- 1:02Speaker 1: Reiki Radio podcast over the years, or even if you're new,
- 1:06Speaker 1: the way it started was me sharing really the expressions
- 1:10Speaker 1: of my personal journey with this work, what I was learning,
- 1:13Speaker 1: what I was practicing, and all that I was experiencing,
- 1:18Speaker 1: witnessing in between, but simultaneously sharing with you what was
- 1:23Speaker 1: working for me in terms of developing my relationship to
- 1:27Speaker 1: energy and intuition. And then most recently in the last
- 1:36Speaker 1: few years, the podcast became a space for interviews, which
- 1:40Speaker 1: I have loved having conversations with other teachers, healers, authors
- 1:45Speaker 1: about the work that they're doing and what it is
- 1:48Speaker 1: that we can all learn through other avenues of perspective
- 1:53Speaker 1: and practice and teachings. And now it feels, you know,
- 1:58Speaker 1: coming full circle in that I have landed back in
- 2:02Speaker 1: a space of feeling that the podcast itself is evolving
- 2:07Speaker 1: with me and my change and my personal transformation and growth.
- 2:13Speaker 1: So if you have been wondering why, I haven't been
- 2:17Speaker 1: consistently posting podcasts, let alone interviews. It's because a lot
- 2:22Speaker 1: has been changing for me, um, in my personal life
- 2:25Speaker 1: and what I'm evolving through, but also with that, a
- 2:30Speaker 1: different feeling or a desire to share differently, even on
- 2:34Speaker 1: Reiki radio. So that is what you can look forward to.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I guess I will be looking forward to it. Hopefully
- 2:42Speaker 1: you enjoy it, but I will be, um, moving again
- 2:46Speaker 1: in a different direction with the podcast so that for me,
- 2:50Speaker 1: it feels like I'm sharing with you from a space
- 2:53Speaker 1: of authenticity. And I also always want to use this
- 2:57Speaker 1: space as authentically as possible. I don't want to feel
- 3:03Speaker 1: like anything I'm sharing in this space is being forced
- 3:07Speaker 1: or that I don't feel aligned or resonant with it.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I know that if I share authentically, no matter how
- 3:15Speaker 1: it's done, that that will also be felt. And I
- 3:19Speaker 1: feel more useful and more beneficial to all of you
- 3:23Speaker 1: who come to join me in this space. And I'm
- 3:27Speaker 1: just looking forward to this next cycle of growth and
- 3:29Speaker 1: evolution for all of us. So yeah, things are changing
- 3:34Speaker 1: over here, as is life. But another thing I wanted
- 3:51Speaker 1: to share with you before I get into the energy
- 3:54Speaker 1: of September and really exploring that together is another thing
- 3:59Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot about is the importance of
- 4:03Speaker 1: our practice. And I know this is something that I
- 4:06Speaker 1: have shared. I've said throughout the years and I have
- 4:09Speaker 1: said over and over again throughout the years that so
- 4:12Speaker 1: much of what I share and what I have learned
- 4:16Speaker 1: has been a blend of what I have learned in classes,
- 4:20Speaker 1: what I have read in books, and what I have
- 4:22Speaker 1: learned through my direct experience. And so I want to
- 4:26Speaker 1: bring this up very briefly again for practitioners and teachers
- 4:31Speaker 1: out there because I still to this day get questioned
- 4:37Speaker 1: and sometimes even compared quite honestly to my teachers and
- 4:41Speaker 1: what they say and what they teach. And even though
- 4:44Speaker 1: I say that, you know, I do still and always
- 4:49Speaker 1: will appreciate every teacher I have, whether the ones that
- 4:53Speaker 1: have formally taught me in classes or the ones that
- 4:56Speaker 1: I encounter just as other people in my life, whether clients, students, friends, relatives,
- 5:03Speaker 1: all have taught me and continue to teach me in
- 5:06Speaker 1: phenomenal ways. I learn a lot through books. I learn
- 5:09Speaker 1: a lot through podcasts, all kinds of expressions. of what
- 5:17Speaker 1: this work is, different points of views about how people
- 5:23Speaker 1: translate it all. It often makes me think about religion
- 5:27Speaker 1: and the Bible and that you have this book that
- 5:31Speaker 1: many different people, many different denominations all may have different
- 5:36Speaker 1: ideas about the translation of it all. And, you know,
- 5:42Speaker 1: people will argue they are right. Some people will argue
- 5:45Speaker 1: that others are wrong. But it all comes down to
- 5:48Speaker 1: translation and perspective. And so I don't see this work
- 5:53Speaker 1: as being dissimilar. When I first came into practice of
- 5:58Speaker 1: Reiki meditation and all the other things I have studied
- 6:02Speaker 1: since then and continue to study and practice, I thought
- 6:07Speaker 1: initially that there was just right information to come across.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And so with my first meditation classes and my first
- 6:18Speaker 1: Reiki classes, I didn't know what I didn't know. I
- 6:22Speaker 1: only knew what was presented to me through my teachers.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And so whatever it was they shared with me, that
- 6:30Speaker 1: was the lens of my belief because I didn't know
- 6:33Speaker 1: anything else to be different. And I practiced as they
- 6:38Speaker 1: shared with me to practice. The beauty of this work, though,
- 6:42Speaker 1: is if we don't get too attached to absolute rightness,
- 6:49Speaker 1: we allow ourselves to understand beyond what is just presented
- 6:54Speaker 1: to us through someone else's lens of interpretation. So I
- 7:02Speaker 1: did at first, I believed my first teachers that whatever
- 7:05Speaker 1: they shared with me, I thought it to be the
- 7:08Speaker 1: absolute truth as it related to this work. And I'm
- 7:11Speaker 1: sure for them in their lens, it was. But then
- 7:16Speaker 1: through my practice, I started having different experiences that went
- 7:20Speaker 1: beyond what my teachers had shared with me or may
- 7:23Speaker 1: have even been different than the points of views that
- 7:26Speaker 1: they shared with me. And so instead of just honing
- 7:31Speaker 1: in on my experience, I thought it was a signal
- 7:35Speaker 1: that I must need new teachers. And so I looked
- 7:39Speaker 1: for other teachers who had other points of views and
- 7:43Speaker 1: I studied with them and some of what they presented
- 7:47Speaker 1: and some of what they taught me and some of
- 7:48Speaker 1: the books I read also then gave me different aha
- 7:53Speaker 1: moments and gave me different ways of understanding. So it
- 7:57Speaker 1: wasn't that I was experiencing some information as right or wrong,
- 8:04Speaker 1: but rather I started to realize that every lens and
- 8:08Speaker 1: every translation and every point of view gave me a
- 8:12Speaker 1: different angle of of understanding, gave me a different view
- 8:17Speaker 1: of how to look at and interpret the same thing.
- 8:23Speaker 1: But then eventually, after, you know, years of study and
- 8:27Speaker 1: practice and going to classes and reading books and having
- 8:30Speaker 1: conversations on Reiki radio, the culmination of all of it,
- 8:34Speaker 1: it started to come into my recognition and my awareness
- 8:39Speaker 1: that my personal experience was was a very important component
- 8:44Speaker 1: of the equation. So let's take Reiki, for example. There
- 8:50Speaker 1: could be an actual transmission. Say if we all had
- 8:58Speaker 1: access to a book about Reiki that was written by
- 9:02Speaker 1: Yasui Sensei himself. And if we gave that book to
- 9:06Speaker 1: 10 different practitioners and teachers, they all may have a
- 9:10Speaker 1: different way of translating the meaning. None of them would
- 9:15Speaker 1: necessarily be right or wrong, but they would all be
- 9:18Speaker 1: translating from their lens of understanding, perception, experience, as we
- 9:24Speaker 1: all filter and translate our own lives. And so while
- 9:29Speaker 1: we have the gift of learning from each other and
- 9:32Speaker 1: perhaps taking in some insights that give us new possibility
- 9:37Speaker 1: and potential, The only way we're really going to understand
- 9:41Speaker 1: where our own translation is or a deeper engagement with
- 9:47Speaker 1: information is to actually apply in practice. Now, the interesting
- 9:55Speaker 1: thing I've learned about this, so again, it just has
- 9:57Speaker 1: evolved from everybody sharing their own lens and perspective and
- 10:04Speaker 1: interpretations about any given thing. And again, such as life.
- 10:09Speaker 1: But then even through our own personal experience, and this
- 10:13Speaker 1: is why I share this with people I work with,
- 10:16Speaker 1: you're interpretation or what you experience personally will be more
- 10:22Speaker 1: important in your understanding than anything that anyone else can
- 10:28Speaker 1: tell you. The information that we're given is foundation. It's information.
- 10:36Speaker 1: It may cause us to question. It may inspire curiosity.
- 10:39Speaker 1: It may even help some level of our understanding. But
- 10:44Speaker 1: the depth of understanding is is going to come through
- 10:48Speaker 1: what cracks open and what is realized through our personal
- 10:53Speaker 1: interaction with anything, including our practices of Reiki meditation and
- 10:58Speaker 1: so on. And so me, personally, I will have, through
- 11:04Speaker 1: my own experience, some aspects of what I have read,
- 11:09Speaker 1: what I have been taught. But I will also then
- 11:13Speaker 1: have an interpretation based on what I have actually experienced
- 11:18Speaker 1: in practicing different aspects within the system of Reiki. That
- 11:23Speaker 1: will then skew the way that I perceive and understand
- 11:27Speaker 1: what happens through the development of practice. The same is
- 11:30Speaker 1: true with meditation. The same is true with reading Oracle
- 11:33Speaker 1: and Tarot. The same is true with intuitive development. This
- 11:37Speaker 1: is why you can have a lot of people in
- 11:40Speaker 1: any profession, in any experience that, I mean, down to someone,
- 11:44Speaker 1: different skiing instructors may have some aspects that are foundationally
- 11:51Speaker 1: the same. But then the interpretations or how to practice
- 11:56Speaker 1: or how to do things continue to develop and evolve
- 11:59Speaker 1: and become translated in a variety of ways. So I
- 12:06Speaker 1: wanted to bring this up because I really do believe
- 12:09Speaker 1: that we are moving into a time collectively where where
- 12:13Speaker 1: our direct experience is pinnacle at this point. I think
- 12:19Speaker 1: that we go through these cycles that we've all heard of.
- 12:24Speaker 1: We talk about what happened in ancient times and, you know,
- 12:27Speaker 1: these eras of golden ages and different times where people
- 12:30Speaker 1: had different access or different understanding of wisdom. And then
- 12:37Speaker 1: you could say we fell into into the dark cycle,
- 12:40Speaker 1: dark ages, where people then ended up having moments in time,
- 12:46Speaker 1: different expressions and experiences that were appropriate to what we
- 12:52Speaker 1: needed to evolve back towards after falling out of certain
- 12:59Speaker 1: types of connections and relationships, regardless of why, right? But
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the development, we'll say, of our more modern history
- 13:07Speaker 1: and times, there has also been concurrently this collective, not
- 13:12Speaker 1: for every human on the planet and not for every culture,
- 13:15Speaker 1: but for a lot of us, there has been this
- 13:20Speaker 1: growth away from recognition of our connection to earth, our
- 13:25Speaker 1: oneness with nature, our oneness with all there is, our
- 13:28Speaker 1: ideas and stories and beliefs of what divine is, source is,
- 13:34Speaker 1: God is, divine intelligence, right? So we have a lot
- 13:37Speaker 1: of history and story that we can even look at
- 13:40Speaker 1: and read about to really kind of see the progression
- 13:47Speaker 1: of how we've gone from one way of being into
- 13:51Speaker 1: where we all are now. But woven in all of
- 13:55Speaker 1: that has always been some story of belief, some story
- 14:02Speaker 1: again of what It even means to be human, our idea,
- 14:06Speaker 1: what we have prioritized, how we've gone from communal to
- 14:11Speaker 1: individualistic ways of living and prioritizing. We hear a lot
- 14:17Speaker 1: of talk of this disconnection, this move away from the
- 14:22Speaker 1: sacred feminine and now living in times where there's been
- 14:26Speaker 1: a heightened expression of the masculine, but not even in
- 14:32Speaker 1: a purified state in a distortion, but it could only
- 14:35Speaker 1: be so with the minimizing of the feminine. The feminine
- 14:41Speaker 1: and the masculine can only be really in their highest
- 14:44Speaker 1: potential when they are recognized as unified, as equal, as one.
- 14:51Speaker 1: That's another whole rabbit hole. But my point is we
- 14:55Speaker 1: are constantly collectively evolving and changing and awakening to something,
- 15:02Speaker 1: believing in something, centering our ideas, our cultures, our world
- 15:10Speaker 1: around something. And I have to say, since I started
- 15:18Speaker 1: these practices, a lot of my view of the world
- 15:25Speaker 1: and myself, of course, has shifted and changed. And I
- 15:31Speaker 1: remember being a little, when I was a child, I
- 15:35Speaker 1: used to think like, why isn't everyone just nice to
- 15:37Speaker 1: each other? Why do people not get along? Why do
- 15:42Speaker 1: people not like each other for the most ridiculous of reasons?
- 15:46Speaker 1: As a young person, even a lot of that I
- 15:49Speaker 1: could see and witness and it made no sense. And then,
- 15:53Speaker 1: of course, we go through our life experiences and we
- 15:56Speaker 1: have different interactions that also feed into our understanding of
- 16:00Speaker 1: why the world is as it is, of what it
- 16:03Speaker 1: means to be a human and experiencing this life and
- 16:06Speaker 1: the spectrum of things that we love and things that
- 16:09Speaker 1: hurt us and things that illuminate and strengthen us while
- 16:12Speaker 1: there are other things that feel like they deconstruct and
- 16:15Speaker 1: break us down. But again, we're in the realm of duality.
- 16:22Speaker 1: And part of this brings us into this work that
- 16:30Speaker 1: we may feel called or drawn to individually. We all
- 16:34Speaker 1: may be, you know, feel inspired to study, to believe in,
- 16:38Speaker 1: to prioritize, whatever that may be for us personally. But
- 16:43Speaker 1: whatever we're all doing personally then contributes back into the
- 16:47Speaker 1: collective consciousness and the evolution of that. So since... I've
- 16:53Speaker 1: started these practices. I don't know. Well, yes, I guess
- 17:00Speaker 1: there's evidence that quite literally the world has been, again,
- 17:05Speaker 1: collectively shifting and changing in a lot of ways. But
- 17:09Speaker 1: I remember when I first started this work or these practices,
- 17:14Speaker 1: I should say, it wasn't that easy. to come across
- 17:20Speaker 1: a lot of the materials, the classes, the teachers. It
- 17:22Speaker 1: was much thinner. There wasn't as much accessibility as we
- 17:27Speaker 1: have now. And it seemed to happen overnight that all
- 17:33Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, there would be things like
- 17:35Speaker 1: tarot cards and oracle decks available at regular bookstores where
- 17:41Speaker 1: before you'd have to go to a bookstore that specialized
- 17:46Speaker 1: in alternative thought and ideas. Like in San Diego, we
- 17:50Speaker 1: had a bookstore called Controversial. That was the name of
- 17:53Speaker 1: the bookstore. I don't believe it exists anymore. But anyway,
- 17:57Speaker 1: that bookstore had all of the books and the Oracle
- 18:00Speaker 1: cards and tarot decks and all the things that you
- 18:03Speaker 1: aren't going to find at a traditional more like Barnes
- 18:07Speaker 1: and Noble or something like that. Then it seemed to
- 18:09Speaker 1: be like overnight, all of a sudden you could, you
- 18:12Speaker 1: would find Oracle and all of these things also at
- 18:15Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble. But not only that, you would find
- 18:17Speaker 1: them on everything was accessible then on Amazon. And that
- 18:22Speaker 1: became a very popular place to get all kinds of
- 18:27Speaker 1: access to things that we didn't have easy access to before.
- 18:32Speaker 1: You could even find evidence of collective interest in what
- 18:38Speaker 1: many have called alternative. You could find it now at
- 18:43Speaker 1: a gas station. I mean, you go to a gas station,
- 18:47Speaker 1: they might be selling like crystal beaded bracelets, or there's
- 18:53Speaker 1: just so much evidence of collective interest that is reflective
- 19:01Speaker 1: of what we can read about being the primary focus
- 19:09Speaker 1: in other periods of time, in ancient times, with other cultures,
- 19:15Speaker 1: many civilizations. all pointing back to this resonance of earth intelligence,
- 19:20Speaker 1: pointing back to this resonance of how we are in
- 19:24Speaker 1: relationship and aware of the frequency of being in coherence
- 19:29Speaker 1: with cosmic or the unseen, the unknown. And there's just
- 19:39Speaker 1: evidence of, I guess, as more and more people continue
- 19:45Speaker 1: to study and practice individually, it starts to awaken. on
- 19:50Speaker 1: a collective level. And so we've seen this. There's even,
- 19:54Speaker 1: I forget where it was, it may have been England,
- 19:58Speaker 1: but I remember not that long ago seeing that there
- 20:00Speaker 1: were even courses being offered at universities now that are
- 20:04Speaker 1: more aligned with this type of exploration and curiosity where
- 20:10Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been optional before so we are changing
- 20:15Speaker 1: times are changing but it all comes back to our
- 20:19Speaker 1: individual practice understanding study interest prioritization so i wanted to
- 20:29Speaker 1: say this one to encourage everyone who is interested in
- 20:35Speaker 1: anything that I'm talking about, to know that your practice,
- 20:39Speaker 1: your interest, what it is that you may be studying,
- 20:44Speaker 1: some aspects of it is foundational, leading you deeper into
- 20:49Speaker 1: experiences that can help you through your own engagement with
- 20:55Speaker 1: the practices, with the study, with the work, help you
- 20:58Speaker 1: to understand life, yourself, and overall collective expression in a
- 21:05Speaker 1: higher way. And this path and this work looks different
- 21:09Speaker 1: for all of us. And I feel like that's important
- 21:12Speaker 1: to say, because even in this realm that we call spirituality,
- 21:16Speaker 1: there tends to be this idea that it's so different
- 21:20Speaker 1: than religion or so different than, you know, other traditions,
- 21:24Speaker 1: but people can still create such an environment of We're
- 21:32Speaker 1: right and they're wrong. There's still an environment of these
- 21:36Speaker 1: practices are better than these practices. This is more powerful
- 21:40Speaker 1: than this. So there's still a lot of comparison in
- 21:43Speaker 1: our humanness that really has nothing to do with the work.
- 21:48Speaker 1: It has nothing really underneath the surface to do with
- 21:50Speaker 1: the teachings that have come through the lens of, you know,
- 21:55Speaker 1: what we could call spirituality, metaphysics, religion, all of it.
- 22:01Speaker 1: It all has an undercurrent of a deeper truth, a
- 22:05Speaker 1: deeper teaching, a deeper understanding for us to realize and
- 22:09Speaker 1: awaken to that none of us will really understand if
- 22:14Speaker 1: we continue to stay with these mental blinders of being
- 22:18Speaker 1: more concerned with who's right and who's wrong and really
- 22:23Speaker 1: going into the practice of recognizing and realizing what can
- 22:28Speaker 1: be witnessed and experienced. So hopefully in all of this,
- 22:37Speaker 1: I think I went away from my point. I don't
- 22:39Speaker 1: even know what the point was now originally, but I
- 22:43Speaker 1: say this to say, I think it's important for all
- 22:45Speaker 1: of us to acknowledge that our practice matters and our
- 22:49Speaker 1: personal experiences through practice matters. And not to get so
- 22:54Speaker 1: entangled in wanting to be right and feeling like it
- 23:00Speaker 1: matters to identify others as wrong. That's a loss of focus.
- 23:06Speaker 1: That's a loss of, I mean, that just... And, you know,
- 23:12Speaker 1: maybe it could be said that that's part of our development.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Maybe we have to fight with this whole right and
- 23:17Speaker 1: wrongness as part of the awakening to There is no
- 23:24Speaker 1: right or wrong to contend with, but rather, again, what
- 23:28Speaker 1: is being recognized and realized within all of that noise,
- 23:34Speaker 1: so to speak. So hopefully you will be able to
- 23:41Speaker 1: recognize in your own path where you have been guided,
- 23:45Speaker 1: how you've been guided, what your curiosities have been. without
- 23:49Speaker 1: comparison to anyone else, without being so swept up in
- 23:53Speaker 1: right or wrong in terms of information, but rather recognizing
- 23:58Speaker 1: that all information just is an opportunity to expand your consciousness.
- 24:03Speaker 1: All information is an opportunity to get you to question
- 24:06Speaker 1: and to explore through your own engagement. If you practice
- 24:13Speaker 1: meditation for 30 days and I practice meditation for 30 days,
- 24:17Speaker 1: we may have very different experiences within those sittings. Some
- 24:22Speaker 1: things may be similar, but they won't be exact. And
- 24:26Speaker 1: our translation of those experiences won't be exact. Neither is
- 24:30Speaker 1: right or wrong. Both expressions were meant to meet us
- 24:35Speaker 1: as individuals where we are and to support us in
- 24:38Speaker 1: our own individual development, both of which can contribute to
- 24:43Speaker 1: the overall collective evolution. And that's what I hope becomes louder,
- 24:51Speaker 1: more focused on in not just this community, in the world.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I hope that we keep recognizing and realizing the ways
- 25:02Speaker 1: that we are all learning through whatever we are learning through.
- 25:08Speaker 1: that we all have an opportunity to learn from each other,
- 25:11Speaker 1: that we all have an opportunity to deepen understanding beyond
- 25:17Speaker 1: just trying to write in wrong information. It always leads
- 25:21Speaker 1: me back to that idea that wisdom is hidden in
- 25:25Speaker 1: plain sight. Of course it is. Again, 10 of us
- 25:29Speaker 1: could read the same book and have 10 different translations,
- 25:34Speaker 1: but we will only understand When we let go of, again,
- 25:40Speaker 1: the being so concerned with who's right and who's wrong
- 25:46Speaker 1: and really allow ourselves to go deeper into the expression
- 25:49Speaker 1: of what is being revealed, not just through the information,
- 25:53Speaker 1: but what the information then brings back to help you
- 25:57Speaker 1: recognize and realize around your own beingness. So cheers to
- 26:05Speaker 1: your practice. And that's really what Reiki Radio, what this
- 26:10Speaker 1: was all about in the beginning. I mean, I didn't
- 26:13Speaker 1: have that deep of an understanding or desire back then
- 26:18Speaker 1: for everything I just described. I just knew that at
- 26:23Speaker 1: that time, what I was experiencing was beyond what any
- 26:28Speaker 1: of my teachers at that time had explained to me.
- 26:32Speaker 1: And so I had a moment of thinking like, dang,
- 26:34Speaker 1: am I doing this wrong? Do I really? is this
- 26:37Speaker 1: Reiki stuff working? I don't know what's happening. What I'm
- 26:41Speaker 1: experiencing is different than what any of my teachers expressed.
- 26:47Speaker 1: And so again, I looked for other teachers, and then
- 26:49Speaker 1: some of them touched on some of what I was experiencing.
- 26:53Speaker 1: But again, it didn't exactly mirror my direct experience. So
- 26:57Speaker 1: then it branched off that I kept seeking to understand
- 27:02Speaker 1: in alignment with my personal experience. And that's key. What
- 27:05Speaker 1: is your personal experience relaying or revealing to you? Are
- 27:12Speaker 1: you having intuitive insights? Are you having just what is
- 27:18Speaker 1: being revealed to you? And what supports your own development?
- 27:21Speaker 1: What supports your own understanding? Not getting locked in to
- 27:27Speaker 1: the potential limitation of another person. This is why I
- 27:32Speaker 1: always tell people to anyone who works with me could
- 27:35Speaker 1: tell you this. I always say, I will share with
- 27:38Speaker 1: you what has supported me and take it, play with it,
- 27:41Speaker 1: chew on it, spit it out, do whatever you want
- 27:43Speaker 1: to do. But whatever you do, don't try to rely
- 27:47Speaker 1: on my experience as your goalpost. Instead, take what I
- 27:54Speaker 1: am sharing with you. Enjoy the practices that I may
- 27:57Speaker 1: guide you through. for the sake of witnessing and realizing
- 28:02Speaker 1: what reveals itself to you. What is your experience? That's
- 28:06Speaker 1: what matters at the end of the day. Your understanding,
- 28:09Speaker 1: your expansion of what it is you come to know
- 28:12Speaker 1: and understand through your own practice and translations. And with that,
- 28:19Speaker 1: for all of us, it is important to realize don't
- 28:22Speaker 1: even become entrapped by your own ideas of right and wrong.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. What I thought Reiki was
- 28:29Speaker 1: when I first started was simply what was defined in
- 28:34Speaker 1: any book of Reiki that you will read. Like, oh,
- 28:36Speaker 1: it's a technique. It's a energy healing system that was
- 28:42Speaker 1: developed in Japan in 1922. That was the extent of
- 28:48Speaker 1: what I thought it was. And then as I practiced Reiki,
- 28:51Speaker 1: my understanding and my translation of what it was based
- 28:55Speaker 1: on my experiences, it developed and it continues to evolve.
- 29:00Speaker 1: So what I think of Reiki or what it has
- 29:04Speaker 1: come to mean to me through my own experience continues
- 29:09Speaker 1: to evolve. And it's important to understand that if you
- 29:14Speaker 1: allow it and don't get caught again in the rigidity
- 29:17Speaker 1: of what who is right or wrong or am I
- 29:20Speaker 1: personally right or wrong, you allow it to show you
- 29:24Speaker 1: exactly what it is, which is a reflection and a
- 29:27Speaker 1: mirroring of exactly who and what you are. So there's that. So, yeah.
- 29:41Speaker 1: that's why I have to allow Reiki radio and of
- 29:45Speaker 1: itself to evolve with me. I can't stay confined in
- 29:50Speaker 1: the rigidity of what it's supposed to be, what I
- 29:54Speaker 1: may think that other people want it to be. I
- 29:56Speaker 1: have to be true to how I am personally evolving
- 30:01Speaker 1: and what i would like to share with you in
- 30:03Speaker 1: that evolution in hopes that we all continue to enjoy
- 30:09Speaker 1: evolving together recognizing how we each contribute to that so
- 30:16Speaker 1: a few things coming up um this month and very
- 30:20Speaker 1: soon speaking of what we learn and what we develop
- 30:23Speaker 1: through in september um On September 18th, 19th, and 20th,
- 30:31Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to join me and eight other
- 30:35Speaker 1: teachers and practitioners for nine different master classes over a
- 30:41Speaker 1: three-day weekend. So this is part of what I also
- 30:45Speaker 1: love in this work, that we all have different areas
- 30:49Speaker 1: of not necessarily just expertise, but areas that we prioritize
- 30:54Speaker 1: as our focus and really become our thing that we
- 30:57Speaker 1: love to practice and share and so we have nine
- 31:01Speaker 1: different women who have various areas of interest who really
- 31:06Speaker 1: love to practice and share whatever it is that they
- 31:09Speaker 1: practice and share and we have all met through the
- 31:14Speaker 1: community of Reiki except one there is one astrologer that
- 31:19Speaker 1: I met through astrology and um I had a reading
- 31:23Speaker 1: with her. And anyway, but the others we have met
- 31:27Speaker 1: through the community of Reiki. But again, through our own
- 31:31Speaker 1: personal paths and practices, we've each developed and gone deeper
- 31:37Speaker 1: into the aspects of this work that excite us each most.
- 31:42Speaker 1: And each of us really love and are very passionate
- 31:47Speaker 1: about what we can share with you through what we
- 31:49Speaker 1: have learned through our own practices. And so we have
- 31:54Speaker 1: three days. Again, mark your calendar, September 18th, 19th, and 20th.
- 31:59Speaker 1: This is our second year doing this. Last year, we
- 32:03Speaker 1: did it for the first time, and it was better
- 32:05Speaker 1: than we could imagine because it's live. You can join
- 32:08Speaker 1: us live on Zoom. And that means you get to interact.
- 32:11Speaker 1: You get to ask questions in the chat box. People
- 32:14Speaker 1: were chatting with each other. We laughed. We had fun.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And there's guided exercises so you can have, again, what
- 32:21Speaker 1: I just spoke about, your own direct experience. So that
- 32:26Speaker 1: you go beyond just the information and go into expanding
- 32:31Speaker 1: your own consciousness through how you experience the work. So
- 32:36Speaker 1: there are nine classes. You can look up on my website.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Just look for it. It's called the Awakening Conference, the
- 32:44Speaker 1: second annual Awakening Conference. And There are three classes a day,
- 32:49Speaker 1: and it takes place on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, three
- 32:52Speaker 1: classes each day, and everything is recorded. So as long
- 32:57Speaker 1: as you get a ticket to attend, you will have
- 33:00Speaker 1: access to the recordings. Everyone's in different time zones. So
- 33:04Speaker 1: even if you can't attend everything live, you have access
- 33:08Speaker 1: to watch the recordings. And yeah, just be ready for
- 33:12Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a lot of engagement. Again, you
- 33:15Speaker 1: can ask us questions. We have some free giveaways. We're
- 33:18Speaker 1: doing a raffle this year, which we didn't do last year.
- 33:21Speaker 1: So very excited about that. But again, just go to
- 33:24Speaker 1: my website, theenergeticalchemist.com and on the homepage, you'll see the
- 33:29Speaker 1: image and the link to join us. Get your ticket
- 33:32Speaker 1: because there is limited space because we only have so
- 33:35Speaker 1: much capacity on Zoom, okay? So get your tickets. Another thing,
- 33:41Speaker 1: of course, that, has been supporting the Reiki community in
- 33:46Speaker 1: incredible ways is the Reiki Raise Global Reiki Healing Summit
- 33:51Speaker 1: that happens annually. This year is the 11th year. That
- 33:56Speaker 1: doesn't actually come out for your availability until November, but
- 34:03Speaker 1: me and my co-host this year, we have been recording
- 34:08Speaker 1: the interviews for the last few months and we're still
- 34:12Speaker 1: doing some of those recordings and I don't know if
- 34:15Speaker 1: this is my fourth or fifth year being a co-host
- 34:19Speaker 1: of this but it has been an honor to have
- 34:25Speaker 1: these conversations as part of that event and I know
- 34:30Speaker 1: how meaningful and popular it has been within the Reiki
- 34:34Speaker 1: community because the founder her name is Maria she also
- 34:39Speaker 1: a fellow Aquarius She has been, I want to say,
- 34:44Speaker 1: so generous in making sure that it's all inclusive. Doesn't
- 34:49Speaker 1: matter your lineage. Doesn't matter your tradition. Doesn't matter whatever
- 34:54Speaker 1: it is that you study. We all can learn from
- 34:58Speaker 1: each other. And that's really, again, what the Global Reiki
- 35:03Speaker 1: Healing Summit is about. So look forward to that. Having
- 35:07Speaker 1: access to that in November. And yeah, I'm sure there
- 35:13Speaker 1: are other things coming up. The last thing this year
- 35:16Speaker 1: that you can come and join and expand your awareness around,
- 35:21Speaker 1: I will be offering two Oracle classes back to back
- 35:27Speaker 1: starting in December. So Alchemy of the Seeker is a
- 35:30Speaker 1: foundational Oracle class that I created once my Oracle deck
- 35:35Speaker 1: finally was birthed into this world. If you have the deck,
- 35:39Speaker 1: you know this. If you don't, It is an oracle
- 35:42Speaker 1: deck that was also inspired by tarot. And I really
- 35:46Speaker 1: developed it for practitioners of this work, those of us
- 35:49Speaker 1: who are seekers, those of us who are practitioners, those
- 35:52Speaker 1: of us who are trying to really understand the wisdom
- 35:56Speaker 1: and our relationship to ourselves and to life. That's what
- 36:02Speaker 1: really this deck is a study of that, helping us
- 36:05Speaker 1: to just understand that. what we're experiencing from different levels
- 36:13Speaker 1: of point of view and the true energetic expressions of
- 36:17Speaker 1: how we're in relationship to all of it. So another
- 36:21Speaker 1: thing through the years, I have learned different ways of
- 36:25Speaker 1: how to read Oracle and what it even means to
- 36:28Speaker 1: read Oracle. And so the first class alchemy of the
- 36:32Speaker 1: seeker is very foundational of helping us come into a
- 36:36Speaker 1: different recognition and relationship of what it means to read
- 36:40Speaker 1: Oracle cards, how and how they're supportive, how they really
- 36:44Speaker 1: can be a part of this work. Not just in
- 36:48Speaker 1: a predictive kind of way, but like a real tool
- 36:51Speaker 1: of transformation and helping us understand, again, our relationship to
- 36:56Speaker 1: ourselves and to life, what we're experiencing. And then after
- 37:01Speaker 1: that class, there is alchemy of the Oracle, which is
- 37:04Speaker 1: the advanced level. where we then take reading Oracle into
- 37:10Speaker 1: the arena of using Oracle as a tool for coaching,
- 37:14Speaker 1: coaching ourselves, coaching and working with holding space for others,
- 37:19Speaker 1: how communication and just the different aspects of holding space
- 37:25Speaker 1: in a more powerful way, what that means, what that
- 37:27Speaker 1: looks like, and how our intuition plays a part. So
- 37:32Speaker 1: I haven't taught this since 2022 because If you are
- 37:37Speaker 1: taking Alchemy of the Oracle, that is a 22-week class.
- 37:41Speaker 1: That's a long time. So that's why I haven't taught
- 37:44Speaker 1: it in some years. But I'm very excited that it's
- 37:47Speaker 1: coming back for its second iteration. And anyone who is
- 37:53Speaker 1: joining me next year in the Alchemy Circle, which is
- 37:56Speaker 1: a year-long mentoring program with me, you have an entire
- 38:01Speaker 1: year to work with me within a group. It's community work.
- 38:05Speaker 1: We meet on Zoom twice a week. And basically I'm
- 38:09Speaker 1: taking you through what I started this whole conversation out with.
- 38:13Speaker 1: I share with you what I have learned over the years,
- 38:15Speaker 1: but more importantly, I take you through guided experiences for
- 38:19Speaker 1: you to practice for your own sake of awareness, translation, understanding,
- 38:24Speaker 1: and depth of your relationship to life, to energy work,
- 38:29Speaker 1: to your own intuition. So anyway, those of you joining
- 38:33Speaker 1: me in the Alchemy Circle for 2027, the registration is
- 38:37Speaker 1: open now. That also has a limited capacity on it.
- 38:43Speaker 1: But those of you who are members of the Alchemy Circle,
- 38:46Speaker 1: automatically as part of your membership, you have access to
- 38:51Speaker 1: Alchemy of the Seeker, the foundational part of the Oracle work.
- 38:55Speaker 1: So we start that again in December. So if you're
- 38:58Speaker 1: joining Alchemy Circle, just make sure you're registered by December
- 39:04Speaker 1: so that you can go through that class with us
- 39:06Speaker 1: as well. The deck that we'll be using, of course,
- 39:11Speaker 1: the Energetic Alchemist Oracle, which I just had a conversation
- 39:17Speaker 1: about recently. If you are, if you're someone who has
- 39:21Speaker 1: the deck and has any curiosity about the creation of
- 39:25Speaker 1: the deck, my relationship to the deck in this work,
- 39:28Speaker 1: you can watch an interview with me and a wonderful
- 39:33Speaker 1: woman named Melinda. She wanted to have me on her
- 39:36Speaker 1: podcast to have this conversation. So I will put the
- 39:40Speaker 1: link to that down in the description if you want
- 39:44Speaker 1: to learn more about that. So that's it. There's a
- 39:48Speaker 1: lot for us to continue to learn and grow through.
- 39:51Speaker 1: There's a lot that I hope you are finding right
- 39:54Speaker 1: now that is supporting your development. I hope that you
- 39:58Speaker 1: all realize and recognize the beauty of what you are
- 40:02Speaker 1: witnessing through every facet of your path, through your relationships,
- 40:06Speaker 1: through your life path, career, through your ups, downs, and in-betweens.
- 40:10Speaker 1: All of it is part of our development and these
- 40:13Speaker 1: practices that we talk about. are meant to support us
- 40:16Speaker 1: in the navigation of how we live out there in
- 40:18Speaker 1: the world. So I just, I hope that you're having
- 40:25Speaker 1: grace with yourself and really enjoying many aspects of this
- 40:30Speaker 1: gift of life that we are given. So September, hopefully
- 40:37Speaker 1: you are still with me. Let's talk about the energy
- 40:40Speaker 1: of September, the energy of the month. like I said, September,
- 40:45Speaker 1: I have noticed a pattern of this energy is just,
- 40:50Speaker 1: it just activates something creative in me. And I have
- 40:54Speaker 1: been working on a book, my first book in relationship
- 40:58Speaker 1: to this work, not a workbook, not a book that
- 41:01Speaker 1: you'll get in one of my classes, an actual book
- 41:04Speaker 1: for all of you who are practitioners and even non-practitioners. Finally,
- 41:09Speaker 1: I have gotten all the bones of it together and
- 41:13Speaker 1: I'm editing and it's funny. I'm like, will this also
- 41:16Speaker 1: complete itself in September? Just like Reiki Radio started in September.
- 41:21Speaker 1: The Oracle Deck, I commissioned the artist in September of
- 41:26Speaker 1: 2018 and now the book, it may be completed in
- 41:30Speaker 1: September of this year. So this energy, why? Why, why,
- 41:35Speaker 1: why is this so? Well, it may be because I
- 41:39Speaker 1: We just came out of Leo season and Leo, its
- 41:43Speaker 1: intelligence is connected to in a lot of ways, the
- 41:47Speaker 1: heart and creativity. And think about that last month or
- 41:53Speaker 1: just recently, have you felt any illumination of your heart,
- 41:58Speaker 1: of your truth, of anything that has inspired the desire,
- 42:03Speaker 1: the relationship, the awakening of something creative within you, whether
- 42:07Speaker 1: you've already started it You didn't know what to do
- 42:10Speaker 1: with it. You're in the process, whatever it is. Leo
- 42:15Speaker 1: season often illuminates some aspect of our creative resonance, our passion,
- 42:23Speaker 1: our desire to birth something, not just in our minds,
- 42:29Speaker 1: but through our words, through our art, through our action,
- 42:32Speaker 1: through our experience. It may have illuminated in you this
- 42:38Speaker 1: wanting to be seen and known in your highest potential.
- 42:44Speaker 1: So imagine that we're all in this energy that was
- 42:46Speaker 1: very activating, very illuminating. It doesn't mean that you didn't
- 42:51Speaker 1: also have some challenges going on. Those also rub against
- 42:55Speaker 1: to help us in our illumination, quite frankly, but something
- 42:59Speaker 1: may have recently activated, sparked within you, this drive, this determination,
- 43:05Speaker 1: some kind of passion, some kind of creative force. And
- 43:11Speaker 1: that can be a lot. It can spark us in
- 43:16Speaker 1: a way that for some of us, if we don't
- 43:18Speaker 1: know how to work with that type of energy, can
- 43:22Speaker 1: be like a rush that eventually burns us out. It
- 43:25Speaker 1: can be a high that all of a sudden we're like,
- 43:28Speaker 1: oh my God, what do I do with all of
- 43:30Speaker 1: this inspiration and this creativity? But either way it goes,
- 43:34Speaker 1: whatever our relationship to that energy may have been, that
- 43:38Speaker 1: Leo essence then transitions into Virgo. So we take all
- 43:43Speaker 1: of that fire, that inspiration, that those moments, those opportunities
- 43:49Speaker 1: to be seen and known and expressed in a higher way,
- 43:53Speaker 1: whether to ourselves or to others. And Virgo comes in
- 43:58Speaker 1: and says, yes, that's lovely. And that's all well and good.
- 44:02Speaker 1: But now let's refine that somewhat. Let's ground ourselves back
- 44:06Speaker 1: into earth and see where we can make the most
- 44:10Speaker 1: of what has been activated. Let's see what is most useful,
- 44:16Speaker 1: what has the most potential. Let's see which aspects may
- 44:21Speaker 1: need to be fine-tuned or what isn't going to work.
- 44:24Speaker 1: Let's just throw that out and figure out what is
- 44:27Speaker 1: going to work. We move into this energy now of refinement.
- 44:31Speaker 1: We move into this energy that allows us to clarify,
- 44:35Speaker 1: to come into more of an alignment of, again, what
- 44:39Speaker 1: is going to be purposeful in what is activated within us.
- 44:45Speaker 1: This energy also brings us deeper into the relationship with
- 44:49Speaker 1: ourselves in terms of our relationships to body, our health,
- 44:53Speaker 1: our day-to-day routines. And even consider that the way That
- 44:59Speaker 1: whatever you're inspired by doesn't have to be separate from
- 45:02Speaker 1: your day to day. And I say that because a
- 45:05Speaker 1: lot of times when we're activated with inspiration, we then
- 45:09Speaker 1: come into a fight with thinking we don't have time
- 45:11Speaker 1: to fit in our passions, our desires. But when we
- 45:15Speaker 1: soften around the idea that it can only be achieved
- 45:19Speaker 1: or accomplished in one way, we can open ourselves up
- 45:23Speaker 1: to the potential that we can fit it in to
- 45:26Speaker 1: our daily lives, our routines, our schedules. Now, granted, we
- 45:30Speaker 1: may have to reprioritize some things and we may have
- 45:33Speaker 1: to do some things differently. But Virgo is really good
- 45:37Speaker 1: at opening us up to those kinds of potentials. We
- 45:42Speaker 1: just have to be willing to learn and apply. So
- 45:47Speaker 1: Virgo season, I always think of it that way. I
- 45:50Speaker 1: think about, you know, what is being brought into a
- 45:54Speaker 1: space of refinement and for the sake of our development,
- 45:59Speaker 1: for supporting whatever has been illuminated in our awareness as
- 46:04Speaker 1: our passion, what matters to us. How can we sustain
- 46:09Speaker 1: that energy instead of being burnt out by it? How
- 46:12Speaker 1: can we sustain it enough to nurture it through the
- 46:16Speaker 1: development of passing the baton later in this month, then
- 46:20Speaker 1: on to Libra? And we'll talk about that later. But
- 46:23Speaker 1: for now, let's all... Be open to the gifts of Virgo.
- 46:29Speaker 1: And happy birthday to all you beautiful Virgos out there.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury. And Mercury is
- 46:38Speaker 1: very much involved with our processes of thought. Now, one
- 46:42Speaker 1: of the things why I love studying astrology, I am
- 46:46Speaker 1: not an astrologer. I studied enough and continue to study astrology.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Enough to help me understand, again, me and my relationship
- 46:54Speaker 1: to life and the different expressions of humanity. But Mercury
- 47:01Speaker 1: is related to our process of thought, our communication. It's
- 47:07Speaker 1: related to some other things. But in this context, it
- 47:12Speaker 1: helps us to realize, again, the way I want to
- 47:16Speaker 1: say we even filter things. Because The way that I
- 47:21Speaker 1: translate information going way back to what I said at
- 47:23Speaker 1: the beginning of all of this may be very different
- 47:26Speaker 1: than your lens, may be very different than their lens.
- 47:29Speaker 1: But all of it can be useful and beneficial if
- 47:33Speaker 1: we are examining in the right way. Now, the beauty
- 47:37Speaker 1: about mercury is though it can be very analytical. It
- 47:44Speaker 1: also rules Gemini and Gemini just wants all the information.
- 47:48Speaker 1: But how it gets it is through connections, conversations, you know,
- 47:52Speaker 1: their friendships. Gemini is curious. Give me all the information.
- 47:58Speaker 1: And they have the brilliant ability to see both sides
- 48:03Speaker 1: of the coin and not being so just rigid and
- 48:06Speaker 1: one view being correct. We can learn from that essence,
- 48:10Speaker 1: that side of Mercury. But then Virgos. rulership, Mercury ruling Virgo,
- 48:17Speaker 1: it more has like a filtration of all that information
- 48:21Speaker 1: is great. But then again, now what is useful, what
- 48:24Speaker 1: is beneficial. So in this energy, I would say that
- 48:30Speaker 1: there is this inspiration that is still quite prominent in
- 48:35Speaker 1: Virgo energy, but it has more of a filtration of
- 48:39Speaker 1: what is beneficial in all that I am gathering and learning.
- 48:44Speaker 1: This energy says, instead of going to university and wanting
- 48:48Speaker 1: to take all of these random classes, now I understand
- 48:53Speaker 1: my point of focus. Let me take those classes. So
- 48:58Speaker 1: this is an energy where it's also common that we
- 49:00Speaker 1: do want to learn. We do want to expand our minds.
- 49:03Speaker 1: We do want to refine the way that we understand
- 49:07Speaker 1: wherever our points of interest may be. But instead of
- 49:10Speaker 1: it being a wild card, again, this energy builds. brings
- 49:14Speaker 1: it into, I want to give some direct focus and
- 49:17Speaker 1: attention on these subjects, the areas, these practices, because that
- 49:23Speaker 1: is what is going to help refine what matters to
- 49:27Speaker 1: me at this state, at this point of my path.
- 49:32Speaker 1: So I would say pay attention to that this month.
- 49:35Speaker 1: What is it that is being brought into your awareness
- 49:39Speaker 1: as things to refine, things to let go of, things
- 49:44Speaker 1: to deepen your understanding around, things to become more educated on.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Do you need to reset a Reiki class? Is it
- 49:57Speaker 1: time to sharpen your relationship to your intuition? Do you
- 50:01Speaker 1: need to re-engage with your meditation practice? what can be
- 50:05Speaker 1: refined and what will support you in learning, what will
- 50:08Speaker 1: support you in practicing with more depth to help you
- 50:12Speaker 1: realize how what you are doing is purposeful and has
- 50:17Speaker 1: room and potential in your life and where you are
- 50:20Speaker 1: right now. So with that, again, even what has illuminated
- 50:26Speaker 1: or activated in you as an area of interest is
- 50:30Speaker 1: Let this energy show you how it can fit into
- 50:33Speaker 1: your daily life or routine. Step out of the story
- 50:35Speaker 1: of I don't have time. It's not going to work.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Is that true? Or do you just need to sit
- 50:40Speaker 1: down and rearrange some things? Do you need to commit
- 50:43Speaker 1: to your day-to-day different? It's coming to mind. My calendar
- 50:51Speaker 1: shifts throughout the year. So always throughout the year because
- 50:55Speaker 1: of alchemy circle, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the alchemy circle period.
- 51:00Speaker 1: If I teach any additional classes throughout the year, they
- 51:04Speaker 1: tend to happen on Wednesdays and maybe a Sunday. All
- 51:09Speaker 1: of the other days are more flexible in that if
- 51:13Speaker 1: there is something I want to study or I want to,
- 51:16Speaker 1: you know, give time or fit it in, I know
- 51:20Speaker 1: which days of the week work for me. I know
- 51:23Speaker 1: where I have absolutes and I know where I have
- 51:26Speaker 1: some flexibility and I have to arrange my schedule, my planner,
- 51:30Speaker 1: my commitments to commit to that. I have certain days
- 51:36Speaker 1: that I open for sessions. I have certain days that
- 51:39Speaker 1: I open for just my life. We all have to
- 51:44Speaker 1: do that. And let this energy help you plan and
- 51:48Speaker 1: schedule and commit and prioritize and what will support you now.
- 51:55Speaker 1: It's funny, speaking of September, this planning that is often
- 52:00Speaker 1: associated with Virgos. September is also the month that the planners,
- 52:07Speaker 1: I order the same planner every year from the same company,
- 52:10Speaker 1: but they always come out with the planners for the
- 52:15Speaker 1: following year, every September. So it'll be this month that
- 52:20Speaker 1: I get to order my planner for 2027 and start
- 52:22Speaker 1: filling in the what my commitments are for 2027, and
- 52:28Speaker 1: then also see where I have room to make room
- 52:32Speaker 1: for other things throughout the year that may support wherever
- 52:38Speaker 1: I am at any particular part of my path. So
- 52:42Speaker 1: we do have opportunities to recognize how we are really
- 52:45Speaker 1: the ones that are in relationship with time, with our calendars,
- 52:50Speaker 1: with our plans. And yes, there are certain things that
- 52:52Speaker 1: are absolute, that are locked in, that are They're there.
- 52:57Speaker 1: But there's also room for other things to fit in,
- 53:02Speaker 1: maybe not ideally, but still possible. So what are you structuring?
- 53:09Speaker 1: What are you making room for? Not just things, not
- 53:12Speaker 1: just plans, but your health. Do you take time to
- 53:16Speaker 1: sit with how you're in relationship to body? This is
- 53:20Speaker 1: something we even talk about in the alchemy circle, like
- 53:23Speaker 1: just five minutes a day. If you did that once
- 53:27Speaker 1: a day. Just stop and pause and close your eyes
- 53:30Speaker 1: and place your hand on your heart and just breathe
- 53:33Speaker 1: and just witness the body itself. Notice what it is
- 53:36Speaker 1: saying to you. Notice how it actually feels, where your
- 53:40Speaker 1: mind is being drawn in terms of what is being
- 53:43Speaker 1: held in the body. You could do that five minutes
- 53:45Speaker 1: a day. It's better than not doing it at all.
- 53:49Speaker 1: But if we have an idea that we need to
- 53:52Speaker 1: have an hour, two hours every single day to practice,
- 53:56Speaker 1: A lot of people will just not practice at all
- 54:01Speaker 1: instead of figuring out a way to be able to
- 54:05Speaker 1: do the thing in a way that works. And again,
- 54:09Speaker 1: something is better than nothing. So this season gives us
- 54:13Speaker 1: the opportunity to really reflect on that. But also, it's
- 54:18Speaker 1: a nine month. It's the ninth month of the year.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Nine is the end of a cycle. We are ending
- 54:26Speaker 1: a cycle. We're ending a cycle within our personal lived experiences.
- 54:31Speaker 1: We're ending cycles collectively. We are ending a cycle, just
- 54:37Speaker 1: there are cycles upon cycles. However, there's transition from what
- 54:46Speaker 1: ends and what begins, what begins and what ends. I
- 54:50Speaker 1: was just talking about this somewhere. I don't, Maybe the
- 54:53Speaker 1: Oracle readings on my app. Download the Energetic Alchemist app
- 54:59Speaker 1: if you don't have it. You have access to a
- 55:01Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But something came up in that about
- 55:07Speaker 1: how we are transitioning this month out of one season.
- 55:10Speaker 1: So in the Northern Hemisphere, we were in the season
- 55:14Speaker 1: of summer. And it's like the peak of light. It's
- 55:17Speaker 1: the peak of life, what this energy represents. The other
- 55:22Speaker 1: end of the spectrum is winter, which is like the
- 55:24Speaker 1: peak of death. It is the peak of cold. It
- 55:27Speaker 1: is the peak of isolation. In between that transition, we
- 55:34Speaker 1: have autumn. So it's not like we just wake up
- 55:38Speaker 1: and it's like summer then winter. There's a transition in
- 55:41Speaker 1: between the two extremes. There's fall. It's very transitional where
- 55:47Speaker 1: what has been been born to its highest peak of
- 55:51Speaker 1: life then starts to transition as it then takes the
- 55:58Speaker 1: the cycle of falling away so the leaves that the
- 56:03Speaker 1: colors on the leaves change the foliage changes as it's
- 56:06Speaker 1: making its way towards the end of a cycle falling
- 56:11Speaker 1: from the tree then in winter the trees are completely
- 56:14Speaker 1: bare and then that transition from the death cycle of
- 56:19Speaker 1: winter into full potential of light again, we have the in-between,
- 56:23Speaker 1: the transition where light gradually comes back in through spring,
- 56:28Speaker 1: where seeds are planted, what will be nourished back into
- 56:33Speaker 1: life before hitting the other end of the spectrum, summer.
- 56:38Speaker 1: So I say that to say the end of a
- 56:40Speaker 1: cycle isn't just like light off, light on. It's transitional.
- 56:46Speaker 1: So the energy this month in terms of the Oracle
- 56:49Speaker 1: cards is the mystic. If you have my deck, pull
- 56:52Speaker 1: out the mystic card and meditate on this card and
- 56:54Speaker 1: see what else comes through for you. But it's essentially
- 56:57Speaker 1: that we have life experience that we live. There's a
- 57:03Speaker 1: lot that you have lived in this year alone so far,
- 57:08Speaker 1: not even thinking about the other years of life, just
- 57:10Speaker 1: this year, January till now, a lot has been experienced
- 57:15Speaker 1: and a lot you have grown through, a lot has
- 57:18Speaker 1: been changing you, a lot is still changing you now.
- 57:23Speaker 1: And then there's a time to slow it down, back
- 57:26Speaker 1: up and observe. There's a time to step away, to
- 57:32Speaker 1: recognize and realize how you are in relationship to now,
- 57:37Speaker 1: to spirit, to your higher intelligence, to how you have
- 57:41Speaker 1: been processing it all. how the way you have been
- 57:46Speaker 1: seeing and perceiving has been feeding into your choices, your actions,
- 57:51Speaker 1: your way forward. This energy invites us to slow it
- 57:56Speaker 1: down and be reflective enough to have the grace of
- 57:59Speaker 1: gratitude for the opportunities and potentials that have been presented
- 58:04Speaker 1: to us, but also to be able to recognize and
- 58:08Speaker 1: realize what we may have overlooked. To recognize the grace
- 58:13Speaker 1: of recovery and release that can happen as we allow
- 58:19Speaker 1: a slowing down and allowing a reflectiveness, where we can
- 58:24Speaker 1: honor with grace what is falling away for the potential
- 58:28Speaker 1: of what will then have room to birth and grow
- 58:32Speaker 1: that we may not even fully know or understand yet,
- 58:35Speaker 1: and that's okay. Our relationship to the unknown is critical
- 58:42Speaker 1: to these journeys of life, to our relationship to spirit,
- 58:46Speaker 1: but that's another rabbit hole. We'll talk about that here.
- 58:50Speaker 1: But the mystic is reflective of that need, that support,
- 58:56Speaker 1: that alignment that happens when we do step away, step back,
- 59:01Speaker 1: and give our attention, our focus on our relationship again
- 59:04Speaker 1: to all there is. Some of you may recognize this
- 59:08Speaker 1: as meditation. Some of you may do this through journaling.
- 59:11Speaker 1: Some of you may do this through exercise walking. But
- 59:14Speaker 1: whatever it is that allows you space to come out
- 59:19Speaker 1: of the noise, so to speak, and not try to
- 59:22Speaker 1: think and figure things out, but rather just have an
- 59:25Speaker 1: awareness of what is being held in your consciousness and how.
- 59:31Speaker 1: in that silence, in that quiet, in that disconnect, in
- 59:34Speaker 1: the unplug, we also become aware of the higher inspirations
- 59:39Speaker 1: that have been waiting to be witnessed by us. And
- 59:44Speaker 1: that is the teaching of the mystic. Right before this card,
- 59:49Speaker 1: last month's card was the dragon, which is contending with
- 59:53Speaker 1: our relationship to ego. And on the other side of
- 59:56Speaker 1: this card, the number 10 is the threshold card, what
- 59:59Speaker 1: we will be moving into. that last snippet of review
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: of what is falling away and what we're taking with
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: us as we cross a new threshold into a new
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: expression of our lived experience. But here's the silent, the quiet,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: the reflection, the consideration of what is realized, not just
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: through the thinking mind, but from the higher mind, what
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: is witnessed. So again, if you have this card, meditate
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: on the mystic, I would love to hear what comes
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: through for you through that card, what you realize or
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: what insights drop in. And genuinely, you can email me,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: let me know what you recognized in expression, in reflection
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: on the mystic card. So Virgo, this energy could translate
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: again with what I've been saying into focus on our self-improvement.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: And then later in the month, the baton will be
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: passed to Libra, where it's not just about, you know,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: improving or purifying, Virgo being the virgin, representing purity, not
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: just that, but then the extension of what it is
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: that we learn in collaboration and partnership, where we really
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: then kind of bring more awareness towards the duality of
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: I versus we, also the feminine and the masculine. And
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: we'll get more into that next month when Libra starts
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: us out in October. But there is definitely a prominent
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: energy this month that illuminates for us our relationship to
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: what needs to be revised, refined, what it is that
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: we value. what it is that we learn in relationship
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: to other, what it is that we learn through the
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: lens of relationship to ourself and spirit. All right. So
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: according to astrology, the things that I'm going to point
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: out this month are very, I'm just going to say
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: them in a very general way. I have said this
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: now for a few months, but if you want a
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: very detailed astrology forecast, I always recommend going to astrology
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: by Erin. on awakening airwaves. So if you go on
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: YouTube or on your favorite podcast platform, go to awakening
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: airwaves and you will see on the first of every month,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: we have an episode by Aaron astrology by Aaron, where
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: she gives a detailed astrology forecast for every month. And
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: she recently has had these conversations with other fellow astrologers.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: So be sure to check that out. But in a
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: generalized view, On September 10th, we have a couple of
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: things that are happening. We have Venus in the sign
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: of Scorpio. So Venus, the planet, relationship, love, desire is
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: in the essence, in the energy of Scorpio. So this
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: type of energy will really heighten the experience of intimacy.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: Even I want to say questioning and some skepticism. within
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: our relationship and our connections. So we could either experience
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: this as wanting to reveal or uncover something that we
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: have suspicion around, or it could be something that pulls
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: us into the depth of wanting to feel more deeply
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: and more intimately. Just depends on where we are individually,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: but that's the type of energy that this brings in.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: It could help us recognize where we are in relationship
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: to vulnerability, but it can also highlight and emphasize what
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: it is that we value. On that same day, Uranus
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: is going retrograde in Gemini until February. So we have
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: five months. That retrograde implies reflection. We have five months
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: to reflect on and review our old perspectives. Gemini is, again,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: that mental energy of like how we think about things,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: how we are seeing things, what we think about, right?
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: So we have this five month period that is going
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: to be activated in. Don't be surprised if you have
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: a lot of reflectiveness about how you are seeing, knowing,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: and understanding things, but especially your perspectives. Is your mind changing?
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: Are things coming in that really kind of disrupt what
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: you thought to be true before? Are you giving windows
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: of opportunity to understand things with more depth, with more
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: I wanna say clarity with more awareness, even sometimes where
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: it may feel unpredictable or disruptive, what is really the
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: key of what you're getting an opportunity to realize, to recognize,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: to understand in a higher way. On that same day,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: we have the new moon in Virgo. And we know
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: new moons is associated with planting seeds of intention, not
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: necessarily taking action, but just having reflection of, What kind
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: of seeds am I planting? What am I about to
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: give some time, some attention, some energy? What am I
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: going to pour into? Well, with that Virgo theme, this
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: could be a great opportunity to reflect on your relationship
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: to what we discussed, your day-to-day, your routines, what you're learning,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: what you want to prioritize, really setting intentions to clarify
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: what is purposeful, what even matters for this stage, your future.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: focus your progression, like how you're moving forward. So this
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: new moon could really bring a lot of reflection around
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: how you are being of service in a useful way,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: what is serving you, your relationship against your health, because
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: that is, you know, key. But what's practical? What's practical
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: that it's time to really hone in on? And again,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: what is supporting your way forward? Those would be great
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: seeds of intention to recognize, consciously tune into during this
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: type of energy. So after this, we have on the 17th, Kryon,
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: which is the wounded healer, is also going retrograde, but
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: in Aries. And so this may also illuminate a lot
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: of reflectiveness and opportunity to heal around our identity. I mean,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: everything about this heightened collective energy right now is really
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: bringing into question who are we being? Who do we
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: recognize ourselves as being? What are we feeling called towards?
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: What are we undoing? What are we unbecoming as we
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: realize what is really possible and what the heart has
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: been screaming all along? What do we recognize about our
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: relationship to what has hurt us that we've carried as
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: a wound rather than recognizing the wisdom? What is being
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: realized now? So this energy really activates that, releasing what
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: we're evolving out of and what we are embracing or
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: recognize as a potential to evolve into. Interestingly, the day
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: after this really clicks off is when that conference is coming.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: So I told you again, September 18th, 19th, and 20th,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: we have the Awakening Conference, and I hope that you
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: will join us for this three-day event that happens right
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: before The transition of seasons. I told you seasons are
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: changing and so are we. September 22nd, the sun moves
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: out of Virgo and into Libra. And this also marks
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: the changing of seasons, the transition. We're moving out of
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: summer into autumn. So this balancing of essence on this day,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: literally that baton, the sun moving, out of Virgo into Libra,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: illuminating the scales. And in this illumination, it's a day,
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: the equinoxes where day and night are pretty much equal
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: in length. Whereas the summer solstice is the longest day,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: the winter solstice is the longest night, the equinoxes are
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: pretty equal in length of day and night. So there's
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: a lot that we can learn in that expression energetically,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: that we are being invited into, recognition of the balance
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: of our own light and shadow, our own feminine and masculine,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: our own relationship between I and we. It's the changing
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: of the guards. So we're moving from just the self-refinement
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: and into relationship and harmony through union. How do we
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: stop just bouncing from the extremes of this and that,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: but rather recognizing the gifts within each and seeing how
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: they unify, how they collaborate. what the real essence and
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: intelligence of partnership is, what it means to be in
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: union within our own beingness and how that translates then
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: into our realization of being one with all there is.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: There's a lot of richness in this energy. And so
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: that sun moving into Libra happens on the 22nd. And again,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: we'll talk more about Libra next month. Then on September 26th,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: we have the full moon in Aries. The full moon,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: you know, the sun and moon are in opposition. So
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: while the sun is in Libra, all about we, union, partnership,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: the moon, the inner, the feeling, the emotion will be
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: in Aries, which is I, identity, my way, my. So again,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: that dance of I and we. The full moon, I
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: personally always look at it as what is illuminating? What
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: am I full of? Whether it's what's really I'm full
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: of emotionally, I'm full of energetically, what is going on?
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: And with this intelligence really illuminating the sun, the we,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: illuminating the moon, the I, it really gives me the
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: sense that this lunation really helps us to recognize our
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: own role in within the framework of relationship. Not what
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: are they doing, not pointing the finger, really highlighting and
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: illuminating the I. What is my role? What is my feeling?
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: What is my expert? What is my contribution? Really illuminating
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: your stance, your position, your own self-identity recognition within a
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: construct of relationships. This could also highlight for us, you know,
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: any confidence or insecurity around our relationship to independence versus
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: relationship or collaboration. So this may also activate some understanding
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: about the way forward. Incredibly interesting energy. So after this,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: on September 27th, we have Mars, the planet that governs
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: or is in relationship to our actions and even, you know,
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: our relationship to aggression versus anger, but how we act,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: how we get things done. Mars is moving into Leo
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: until November. And so this is really about that Leo
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: essence kind of touching the heart of how we're getting
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: things done. So this could be a spark of what
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: feels like illumination or energy being poured into us being
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: inspired by movement or action around our ambitions or having
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: more courage to take action to have audacity we may
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: feel more of a spark of audacity I guess would
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: be a good way to say that just feeling inspired
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: to get things done and maybe even having more desire
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: want willingness to have more visibility around us, us being
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: seen and heard in different capacities or, or the the
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: recognition or visibility of your work, whatever it is that
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: may be shared in some way, you may feel more
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: of a spark around that around this time. And then finally,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: on September 30, we have Mercury going into Scorpio. And
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: so this could really direct our mind into the questioning
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: into the wanting to understand into the mysteries. So by
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: the end of September, it wouldn't be odd if you
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: find yourself wanting to seek answers, seek depth of understanding.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: You may want to be careful of where emotions may
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: be driving your thoughts or driving your motivation to make
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: stories around things. There is a fine line between what
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: we sense intuitively versus what stories are just created through
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: the lens of our emotion. So just be mindful of that,
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: how that may not inspire, but give you a tendency
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: or how it may influence your communication at the end
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: of the month. So I would just say have some
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: mindfulness around what it is that you're feeling, where that's
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: coming from. And and recognizing how that may be contributing
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: to or disturbing your communication at the end of the month. So,
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: you know, have be a little more strategic. This may
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: cause you to be a little more strategic, but just
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: have an eye on that. Have an awareness about that.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: How am I what is fueling my thought forms? What
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: is fueling my mind? at this time and how am
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: I acting on that or potentially communicating through that? All right. Okay.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: This was a really long one. If you're still here
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: with me, thank you. I hope that everything that was
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: shared supports you or at least sparked in inspiration. That's
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: always my goal. Really. I just want to spark your
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: own inspiration. What makes you curious? What, what, what brings
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: insights into your own awareness? That's what my work is
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: about anyway. Okay. So I look forward to sharing with
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: you in new ways here on Reiki Radio coming up
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: very soon. Again, the 13th birthday is on September 4th.

- 1:15:06Speaker 1: you in an extended version through the Alchemy Circle. But really, truly,
