Bliss Out, Before You Burn Out...

...someone had to say it, but I also have a solution - or two!

Hey, friend…

Happy, freakin’ Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Today I danced in the car, after making time for my favorite breakfast. It was fun! Not that anything was overly exciting, but I enjoyed every moment, present and aware of how good the food was, the magic of being in great company and the pure bliss of singing and dancing to “old school” music.

Now, it’s time for work, and I am still deeply grateful for this moment in time to share with you. I usually put my newsletter on the backburner, thinking about all I want to share that will support you on your path, but then I make up a story around not having the time. You do the same thing, right? Something(s) in life that you keep putting off, and it haunts you to no end because you really did have time...

I was talking to the Alchemy Circle members about our relationship to time, being mindful in our moments and asking, “How can I enjoy this?”, no matter what we’re choosing or tasked to do. We also, as usual, ended our class with a guided journey to immerse ourselves in the experience of whatever we discussed.

Do you want to journey, losing the stories of time and just bathing in the bliss of being…even for a few moments? You’ll love it. Make the decision now that you DO have time for you (guided journey below). Before you start, be in a quiet space, free from distraction, and grab something to take note of your experience.

Let me know about your experience on the other side. Meditative journeys are great ways to nourish mind, body and energy, all in one sitting. You can make the most of your downtime, choosing mindful self-connection practices.

I have been a busy-bee lately, managing “regular” work, returning to the podcast and mailing out The Energetic Alchemist Oracle decks. I admit, it has been a rush; exciting and frustrating, comical and mind-bending. It has been…interesting. Without thinking about time, I’ve just been in it. I’m aware of my energy through each moment of expression, aware of my perspectives and amplifying my gratitude through each task. This has made me grateful for time, rather than at war with it. It’s all story. Clear your mind, energy and being…and enjoy the weekend, in JOY!

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.

The Magic of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle

,

I am so EXCITED to share this interview with you. Today you will meet the illustrator of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, Hilary Zozula. Hilary is a phenomenal artist and the way she brought my imaginations to life was unreal. We discussed the process of working together, via email, for over a year! You’ll also learn about her inspirations as an artist and her processes for commissioned work.

The symbolism and other details of each card (74 within the deck) were designed to speak to your intuitive nature, with clarity, and inspire your own higher-knowing. Hilary and I, both, are beyond grateful that YOU will be able to connect with the artwork within the cards, and the accompanying guide book, sharing your connections and interpretations with us on Instagram: @reikiradio @hilaryzozula and @teaoraclecards
