A had a great question from a student about the way that we teach Reiki and why there are so many variances and differences in the lineages and why there are discrepancies in the processes, teachings, symbols and methods and even the teachers listed on the lineages. https://www.nourishedenergy.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/nourishedenergy/

In this video, Creator of Nourished Energy - Loretta Carraro shares about the differences between the Reiki Level 3 Mastership and Teacher training program and how it can be a benefit for any Reiki students regardless of whether you are wanting to practice on others and/or teach Reiki formally.

In today's episode, Loretta - creator of Nourished Energy, deep dives into our beliefs, how they form and how they can hold us back. She also shares some tips on working through limiting beliefs as a self practice and also how you can support your Reiki and or crystal healing clients through this really important work.

In this episode, Loretta - creator of Nourished Energy https://nourishedenergy.com.au discusses a number of ways of how to share and promote your business offerings and services to others even if you have resistance to using social media. She goes through a number of ways both online but also in real life! Hope this gives you some inspiration on ways to get started or to continue sharing your amazing work and light with the world.

In this episode, I reflect on the idea of letting go and hard that is after forming deep connections with people or situations and places. What role does attachment actually play in the human experience and how can we balance the idea of impermanence as well as allowing ourselves to enjoy life and our loved ones.

In this episode we delve into some of the questions so many practitioners ask before they open their doors to seeing clients professionally as an energy healer. These questions include: Am I ready to see clients? Do I know enough? Am I experiecned enough? Am I healed enough? And so on... Hope this helps you unpack your resistance a little more and moves you a step closer to making a decision around being ready to see clients.

Your business should light you up! So in this episode I explore the idea of taking time out to review what is working and what's not in your business. I guide you through some questions to prompt you as part of your reflection. You're constantly growing and evolving and so should your business or practices. At 7:30 point I guide you through a Reiki self practice to help you connect with the energy of your ideal day in your business - how you would like it too look and feel!

In this episode I talk about intention setting, why should we set intentions for our sessions with our clients and how it can help yourself as a practitioner and also for your own practices. Remembering that intention setting is such an important part of being able to ensure the energy you are working and practicing in is aligned with you. Hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, I share some points to consider when trying to make a decision about whether it might be time to take a break from "healing" - either training in new modalities or seeing practitioners/coaches etc, reading self help books, going to healing workshops and retreats and so on. I propose some reasons why taking a break or simply scaling back can be a good idea and some self-reflection questions you can think or journal about or talk about with your own mentor/teacher to help make the best decision.

In this episode, I share a mini Reiki self healing meditation that is based on the traditional Loving Kindness meditation. We go through the process of sending love and kindness to someone we love, ourselves, someone neutral, someone we have difficulty with and to our wider community. get comfy and enjoy!

There is a myth that Reiki is a practice that simply “bypasses” true feelings or experiences and tries to shine positivity and light. In this episode I talk about why it might seem that way but why it's so much more than that. Reiki isn't about dressing up anything at all, but rather it's about meeting you where you're at - the darkness and the light. And wherever you're at, it reminds us that we're still worthy of being met.

This excerpt is taken from Dr. Caroline Myss' book- Why people don't heal and how they can. It's a look at how the fairy tale of Snow White is a beautiful representation of our spiritual healing journey. I loved it so much and wanted to share with you! Hope you enjoy it.

Practices for protecting your energy can be amazing, but they're not the complete solution. In this episode I talk about why we often attract people or situations that require us to feel like we need to protect our energy. I offer some journal prompts that can help you to unpack why and how you can work through the fear. I also talk about why you also play a role in the relationship.

In this episode, I offer some journal prompts to ask yourself about your go-to practices and modalities. It's so important for us to honour impermanence of ourselves and our life. As we change, so to may the need for us to evolve our practices as well. Be curious and check in regularly and most of all always honour your needs!

In this episode we explore why it's so important to have a regular self Reiki practice. I explore some of the barriers and resistance that are commonly seen and ways to tackle that. I also talk about ways to incorporate Reiki into other practices like meditation, crystal healing and somatic work.

In this 20min practice I invite you to join me on a yoga nidra inspired session of a full relaxing body scan but also guides and invites you to connect with Reiki or a crystal or another tool that helps you connect with the loving energy of the Universe. Enjoy!

This episode is perfect for the student or practitioner or teacher who is wanting to explore the discussion around what Usui Sensei really meant for us when he shared his story of enlightenment on Mt Kurama. What does the system of Reiki really teach us and what does it mean to channel or connect to Reiki energy. And if it is an energy within us, why then do we need hand positions, precepts, symbols and so on?

A reminder that we need to move out of our comfort zone, we need to do the work for things to change. And sometimes that takes time and sometimes it's not always what you think the outcome is going to be.

So often in roles as caretaker - whatever that may look like, we can be focussed so much on holding space for others we forget that we also need to be held. Whilst it may not be possible in the thick of things and we just do what we need to stay strong and have. A positive mindset, it's important to take time out to let ourselves be in a space of vulnerability. To feel and to be held so that we can be met in our vulnerability. The longer we try to push down what's going on, the more likely it is to come up later on in a way we least expect and in almost disrupting way.

In this episode I share my thoughts on why it's not always the best practice to follow the recommended “best practices”

In this sound bite, I share a channeled message that was written during a healing - small wisdoms from the Chakras

In this episode I explore the shadow self and the shame that often comes with that. I talk about how we can reach a point of acceptance and share a perspective on how you may be able to do that! Turning the story you have about yourself and your shadow trait into something that has helped you and is worth honouring.

Happy new year message and sharing my favourite Reiki practice for anchoring intentions. When we anchor a frequency using Reiki it becomes an energy that we become familiar with - our new normal - and can help guide us in our daily life on how to manifest the life we want

In this episode, the idea of what Reiki is all about is explored in the self practice context. We often place heavy expectations on ourselves to be able to shift and feel better, but what if we simply come back to what Reiki is all about and just allow to BE by being witness and meeting ourselves where we are at.

In this episode we focus on emotional pain - grief, sadness, heartbreak and so on. Often we desire so much to move through these feelings as they rise, but what if we didn't? What if we learnt to be with the feeling. And what would that look like instead…

In this episode I talk about what the most powerful Reiki is and most authentic lineages…. Or whether that even exists…

In this episode I walk through the fact that Reiki isn't for everyone and it's not always a solution. Reiki isn't always going to be the right thing for someone when they are overwhelmed by anxiety but it can help to manage anxiety when a student learns how to use it themselves in a way that suits them.

In this episode I share a couple of journal prompts inspired after a beautiful chat in our community Facebook group. If you've ever found yourself questioning your worth around success then this is for you. 1) where in your life do you feel like being you isn't enough - do you feel you need to be someone else to succeed? 2) what does success even mean or look like for you?

Our beliefs dictate our life - how we live, how we see the world and how it manifests. When our core belief is something like I am not enough, there is an opportunity for us to move through this with Reiki. It's a self practice to help reconnect you to that part of you that is not separate, that is part of the entire Universe and all it's living beings - all that are enough. It begins simply with the idea that maybe you can believe in the possibility that you could just enough to begin with…

In this 7 minute practice, I guide you on a very simple practice of connecting to that part of you that is pure light and love coupled with a very simple rocking/swaying technique to help you self soothe. This is such a great practice when you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but also to help you relax and connect to that part of you that is infinite and overcome self doubt, fear or any other emotion that isn't serving you in this moment.

How can we empower our clients to have the confidence to let us know how we can best be of service to them and support them? Sometimes clients don't need answers or advice, or a channeled message. Sometimes they just need your unconditional love and to be witnessed. So how can we create a conscious relationship with them that cultivates that safe container? And also… how can we do that for ourselves?

In this episode I go through some tips to set up a space that is conducive to healing such as: massage tables, how colour makes a difference, sound and music for shifting frequency and scent. But most of all, it's about setting up a space that works for you and your clients.

In this episode I talk about how Reiki can be both a form of meditation and a healing modality. Because fundamentally, isn't it the same thing?

In this episode I share a technique that is suitable to help work through moments of anxiousness, over-thinking and worrying about things that we have no control over. Often when these moments flare up we are trying to control the situation so that we can avoid the perceived pain and suffering. But in these moments we have a most beautiful opportunity to reconnect to universe, to love and to light and to feel much bigger than the smallness our worry leads us to believe we are.

As we grow, sometimes the hardest part is the actual evolution into a different frequency and the movement away from the frequencies we have been so used to. The people, the places, the behaviours and so on. In this episode I explore the challenge of impermanence and remind you that letting go, even when we don't want to, can open you up to so much more magic

In this episode I speak about the Reiki precept - just for today work honestly or be honest. But all precepts are connected and in this episode I explore the question and challenge that often arises of: How do we also maintain our truth and be honest with being kind to others and also to ourselves too? I also talk about how our truth can change and that is why what is most important on this journey is that you always follow and seek your heart and truth, rather than your teachers.

In this episode I talk about channeling Reiki and explore if it's something we are working with outside of us or within? What is that “cosmic energy” that Usui Sensei felt enter the top of his crown anyway? I also discuss why our self practice is important even when we are feeling unworthy of connecting with high frequency or even when we are afraid to feel… how can Reiki help us through the density…

In this episode I share a gentle practice to connect with Reiki and go through the Reiki principles or precepts (known in Japanese as the Gokai). Join me in this 12 min practice either in the morning or at a time where you're feeling the need to connect with Reiki and the wisdom of our principles. I share the principles in both English and Japanese… Just for Today, I hope you enjoy!

In this episode I chat about the conference I attended in April 2023 hosted by the Gendai Reiki Association Madrid. All the details of speakers can be found here: http://www.usuireiki2022.org/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

In this episode I discuss imposter syndrome and self doubt when it comes to your business or practicing energy healing with clients. I explore the idea that your fear may in fact be not that you're not good enough but that you're too good! Perhaps as you're remembering how to work with energy you're also remembering your power and how powerful this work can be

Just for today can you simply sit with the energy of your practice? And just allow yourself to be infinite oneness… we are obsessed with knowing what the energetics means or interpreting guidance but what if we let all of that go? And we simply just came back to surrender - the ultimate art of surrender which is to let ourselves simply be.

Sometimes clients can spend heaps of time enquiring or booking in with you only to then go MIA… why is that? It's not always because they found someone else who is cheaper or better or whatever, sometimes it's also because they're afraid of the magic that may just occur in your container. They're simply not ready to access their potential (and sometimes neither are we!)

In this episode I share some thoughts on why I think we're needing to incorporate somatic and body work more into our practices and I share some tips on how to do it in a very gentle way. It's aimed at self healers and also practitioners working with clients

In this episode I discuss some insights I had from the Usui Reiki 2022 global centennial conference in Osaka. Here so many different lineages joined together to discuss and practice Reiki and there was one thing we all had in common - committed to the unity of Reiki no matter who your teacher or how you practice! So how then does we know how to choose a lineage or teacher? And is there a right or wrong answer?

In this episode I talk about coming back to basics and harnessing the magic of simply holding space for our clients. Sometimes they don't want to talk or need guidance or answers and sometimes it's simply not our place or we just don't want to provide that service. Always ensure your client expectations are honoured and that you are also aligning with your desires and skill sets

In this episode I'll talk about why Reiki and crystal healing don't need you to follow a prescribed formula to heal specific challenges such as money blocks, sleep issues etc.
