Free Class and Event to Ignite Your Practices!

Hello, alchemist!

There’s a lot of energy moving and grooving and you’re probably feeling the surge. If you want clarity around current energies, don’t forget to check out the Energy of the Month update…

…but that’s not why I’m really here. I’m here to let you in on a few things to help support clarifying your practice and current direction!

 

So first, how’s your practice going?

 

If you need a boost, something to encourage a flow of inspiration, or to reignite your connection to practice, there are some free classes/events that I want to make sure you know about. But before we get to that, I want to share another tip to support you…

 

Re-sit Your Class!

 

I just got back from spending four days with my teacher in Los Angeles. I haven’t sat in class since the pandemic, and it was more needed than I realized. The class was a mixture of those of us re-sitting and some practitioners taking Shinpiden (Reiki Master-Level) for the first time.

Why Re-Sit Class?

I have always shared the importance of practicing your practice. During the last few years, most of us found we had to practice alone, which is powerful, but there’s also magic in exchange and within community. This is exactly why I created the Alchemy Circle. We have practiced together consistently, weekly, for the last three years. Not only have we been diligent in practice, but we have grown a lot through our processes of energetic alchemy. And although I love teaching, it’s also important to remain a student.

 

Both of my teachers live abroad and would only come to California once a year, before COVID. My teacher, Arjava, has no plans of returning anytime soon, but my teacher, Frans, is here now for the first time since 2019. I used to re-sit class with both of my teachers, every year, because you learn more and understand in new ways as you develop and grow within your own practice. While some information seems repetitive, it all sinks in deeper, and again, may be understood from a different lens after you’ve had time to apply and practice.

 

This time I also realized the benefit of re-sitting because my teacher’s personal growth was evident. He has clearly expanded within his own practice, which allowed him to share with us in new ways. Not only did I experience class differently, but his offerings were a beautiful reminder that we all grow, remaining students no matter what.

 

The cherry on top: Reiju. If you’re a Reiki practitioner, it’s good for your practice to receive regular attunements, as this supports the connection and deepening awareness of the Great Bright Light that IS.

 

Then there’s the aspect of community, being able to share and exchange in person. I will continue to provide guidance, teachings and mentoring through the Alchemy Circle, but I’m also excited to teach Reiki again, which is the only class I teach in-person. So, if you ever wanted to study with me, but sure to stay tuned for upcoming emails, as I will be planning and scheduling Shoden, Okuden and Shinpiden.

Free Class and Event!

As most of you know, I have created an oracle deck, The Energetic Alchemist Oracle. There are two masterclasses available, which take you on the journey of understanding what it means to be The Seeker and The Oracle, and how to approach both aspects of you with more clarity. If you want to join me in these classes, register now because Alchemy of the Oracle only has 22 spots available, and some seats have already been filled. But prior to these courses, I am offering a FREE class, Beyond the Veil with the Oracle, on October 30th, 7am PDT / 10am EDT. This is my deep bow of gratitude for each person who has purchased the deck, showing you how to use the cards to understand YOU and your path with more clarity.

 

And of course, there’s Reiki! I had the pleasure of cohosting this year’s Reiki Rays, Healing Summit. When you register, you get access to FOUR interviews right away, plus you’ll be able to watch the remaining interviews for FREE on the days that they launch. If you want to have access to all interviews and be able to watch them at any time, you can get the early bird pricing, now. Either way, be sure to register so you will have some free access!

 

Reiki Radio

The podcast is back in full-swing, and it has been amazing to hear what so many practitioners have learned on their paths. Reiki Radio has always been a FREE space to help inform and support practitioners, globally. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platforms, and to my YouTube channel, so that you can watch some of the interviews.

 

That’s all for now, beauty. Enjoy the freebies and be sure to grab your copy of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, a tool for your path of self-awakening, and I will see you in class on the 30th!

 

In deep gratitude,

Yolanda

Infusing Crystal Craft with Reiki

Do you love crystals? Whether you work with them or not, there's always so much to learn about the energy of crystals and how we can incorporate these beauties into our everyday lives. On this episode you'll meet and learn from Lani Woo. I was fortunate to see her presentation on crystal craft and crystal grids last year. I was so impressed and inspired by what she shared that I had to ask her to come share with YOU, here on Reiki Radio!

Lani Woo is an initiated priestess of Oshun and a highly intuitive healer who specializes in Usui Reiki healing. Her road started in Richmond, Virginia and led her on a path to Urban and Regional Planning. Her journey continued to South Florida, where she discovered that she possessed a spiritual and healing component that was totally missing and very much needed from her technical day work. She ventured out to pursue her spiritual inklings and was led to the Usui tradition of Reiki. Lani has practiced and taught Reiki for eight years in South Florida, adding some other modalities, such as crystal healing, crystal grids and crystal divination. She enjoys incorporating new techniques of Reiki into every part of her life. To learn more about Lani and her work, visit http://reikibylaniwoo.com and follow her on IG @reikibylaniwoo

Reiki, Representation and Creation

This conversation highlights why representation matters, the power of touch, dismantling the stigmas around counseling and acknowledging when we need help! I'm always amazed and thankful to hear stories of what led people into this work. Not only is it inspiring, but also reminds us that we're not the only ones seeking a return to grace, love and understanding. Our stories also amplify the generosity and compassion of spirit that seeks to support others.

Today's guest shares a gorgeous story, blending art and Reiki as lineages of healing. Kianga Jinaki is a fiber-artist who creates quilts, dolls and mixed-media works that honor Black life and culture. Her works have been been exhibited both nationally and internationally since 1991. Ms Jinaki is a 2022 recipient of the Artist Innovation Fellowship presented by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach county Florida. A teaching artist, Kianga has has worked with The Norton Museum, Spady Museum, the African American Resource Library & Cultural Center, Palm Beach & Broward county library systems providing artistic/cultural programs for the communities they serve. One of her greatest joys as an artist is working with community members to tap into their own creative rhythm. I had the pleasure of meeting Kianga during last year's annual Melanated Reiki Healers Conference.
