So many Reiki practitioners reach a point where teaching is the natural next step… and just as many stop right there.In this conversation, Karen Caig and I discuss what really happens when you move from practitioner to teacher.This is about the moment you realize you have something to share—and everything that comes up when you consider stepping into that role.Why do experienced practitioners hold back?What does it actually mean to be “ready”?And how do you move forward in a way that feels aligned with Reiki and with yourself?Karen shares the inspiration behind her new course, designed to support Reiki practitioners to teach with clarity, confidence, and integrity. Together, we look at the patterns, beliefs, and questions that show up at this stage—and how to work with them, rather than around them.If you've ever asked yourself, “Am I ready to teach Reiki?” this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and help you see what's possible next.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Karen Caig has been an LRMT with the International Center for Reiki Training since 2020.

Is the story of Reiki still unfolding?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, I'm joined by Su Mach'ado — Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training, lawyer, historian, and visionary behind a recent international Reiki summit in Brazil that is helping to bring new awareness and connection to the global Reiki community.Su's journey into Reiki is as fascinating as her work within it. With a background in law, she brings a unique lens of discernment, structure, and inquiry to the spiritual path — qualities that now serve her deeply in her role as one of Reiki's modern historians.Together, we explore what it means to be a “historian” in a living spiritual practice — one that continues to evolve as new research, translations, and discoveries emerge. We discuss recent insights into Reiki's origins, including contributions from researchers such as Justin Stein, and how these findings are helping us better understand the roots of the system while honoring its spiritual essence.We also talk about Su's beautiful work in Brazil — creating a Reiki summit that brings practitioners together across languages, cultures, and traditions, expanding the reach and accessibility of Reiki in profound ways.This episode is a bridge between past and present…between tradition and discovery…and between the roots of Reiki and the future it is still becoming.If you've ever felt called to understand Reiki more deeply — not just as a practice, but as a lineage — this conversation will open something new within you.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Su Mach'ado is a Brazilian Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) and Historian for the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), and founder of Centro de Treinamento de Reiki – Felicidade.

In a world that feels polarized, where conflict and war dominate the headlines, it's easy to feel powerless… or pulled into fear.But there is another way.In this special Mother's Day episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore the Divine Feminine response to war and conflict—which is profoundly powerful, not passive.The Divine Feminine teaches us to hold steady in love, to remain grounded in truth, and to elevate consciousness rather than react from fear.Drawing on the teachings of David R.

What if, as Reiki moved through you… it rooted deeply into your body, creating lasting transformation?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, I'm joined by Dr. Kate Flynn — chiropractor, alignment coach, and Reiki Master — who is bridging the gap between our physical structure and energetic flow in a powerful and practical way.Kate has worked across the full spectrum of healing: from the biomechanics of the body and nervous system regulation to the subtle realms of Reiki, sound, and energy work. What she discovered along the way is something many of us intuitively feel but may not yet fully understand — healing happens best when the body is open, safe, and receptive.Together, we explore what it really means to be “in alignment,” and why this goes beyond posture or movement. We talk about the role of the nervous system in Reiki sessions, how physical tension can block intuitive flow, and how grounding into the body allows Reiki to integrate more fully and sustainably.This conversation is especially meaningful for Reiki practitioners, empaths, and highly sensitive people who feel deeply — but may sometimes struggle to anchor those experiences into their daily lives.If you've ever felt expanded during a Reiki session but found it hard to hold onto that state… this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Dr. Kate Flynn is the creator of Body First and a Personal Alignment Guide.  She helps people reconnect with their body as a pathway to healing, clarity, and authentic living.  Her work focuses on restoring physical alignment to support the natural flow of energy and intuition.  She teaches that when the body leads, everything else begins to fall into place.Website: www.howtohuman.guideLinks: https://www.youtube.com/@drkateflynnhttps://www.facebook.com/drkateflynnRegister for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube pam@reikifromthefarm.com

In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore what it truly means to design your life from your highest truth — not from fear, habit, or expectation.Inspired by a simple but profound exercise, we ask:What will your life look like in 5 years if nothing changes?What remains if everything falls away?And what becomes possible if there are no limits?I'll share a moment from the shoreline — watching two ducks floating effortlessly above crashing waves — a reminder that even in times of chaos, polarization, and uncertainty, we can choose to rise above and ride the energy rather than be consumed by it.This episode is set against a potent, energetic backdrop:A 1 Universal Year, calling us into new beginnings and bold creationPlanets moving direct, bringing momentum and forward motionThe Sun illuminating truth while Neptune dissolves illusionOld identities fading, as the truth of who we are becoming comes into lightIt's not a time for spiritual bystanding.This is a moment to:Live and lead from the heartExpress your work and your life from your divine truthRelease who you were, and step fully into who you are becomingI'll guide you through reflective exercises and a Reiki meditation to:Access the field of infinite possibilityRelease internal and energetic obstaclesAnchor into the future you are here to createIncluding a powerful question:  What do you want your life — and your legacy — to stand for?What you choose, create, and embody between now and mid-April will help form the energetic foundation for your year ahead.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube pam@reikifromthefarm.com

Lisa shares her grounded, real-world approach to psychic development, while we both speak candidly about fear, visibility, and stepping fully into your gifts.This conversation is an invitation to stop second-guessing yourself and start working in true partnership with Reiki—where your intuition is not separate from the practice, but part of it.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Lisa Campion is the author of the #1 best-selling book, The Art of Psychic Reiki, and many other books.  She is a Psychic Counselor and Reiki Master Teacher with over 30 years of experience, specializing in training emerging psychics, empaths, and healers to fully step into their gifts, since the world needs all the healers it can get!Get in Touch with Lisa:website:  Lisacampion.com Instagram and Youtube______Empaths get your free training HERE.Online Psychic Reiki Training : Master Your Psychic Abilities______Free gift here:  Energy Management for Empathshttps://community.lisacampion.com/Energy-Management-for-EmpathsRegister for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube pam@reikifromthefarm.com

In this very special episode of Reiki from the Farm™, I sit down with my dear friend and teacher, William Rand, to explore the extraordinary story of the Reiki World Peace Grids. If you've ever wondered where this powerful tool came from, what inspired their creation, or how they continue to radiate peace across the globe, you're going to love this conversation.William shares the moment the idea for the grids first arrived, the vision behind placing them at sacred points around the world, and the remarkable collaboration with the artist who brought them into form. We walk through each of the grids—at the North Pole, South Pole, Jerusalem, Mount Kurama, and the Reiki centers in Michigan and Hawaii—and explore the unique purpose and energy of each one.What I love most about this conversation is that it reminds us how interconnected we truly are. Reiki has always worked beyond time and space, but the grids give us a way to join our intentions, to send healing where it's needed most, and to participate in creating peace in a very real and tangible way.This episode invites you to slow down, open your heart, and reconnect with the truth that every one of us—every meditation, every Reiki session, every moment of compassion—contributes to peace on this planet.It's a conversation about vision, responsibility, love, and the deeper purpose behind Reiki's evolution. And I think it's one you'll want to come back to again and again.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!

In this deeply personal and timely Reiki Share, we'll share the magic of our recent journey to Africa — the Cradle of Humanity — and the profound spiritual teachings received directly from the animals.From giraffes forming a semicircle at sunrise…To elephants whispering “friend”…To lions, explaining the sacred responsibility of being a predator…The wild offered a radical reframe of power, instinct, community, and what it truly means to lead.The prey animals revealed that they are not helpless victims. They told us they could take on predators if they chose — and sometimes they do. But they also understand the sacred role predators play in keeping herds healthy and preventing complacency.The predators shared the heavy burden of their responsibility — that leadership is not dominance, but stewardship.We take these lessons and transition into what is happening in our world — conflict in the Middle East, political polarization, the global swing toward authoritarianism — and asks:What if outer wars mirror inner conflict?What if victim mentality keeps us disempowered?What if disturbance is an invitation to awaken?This episode explores:The spiritual ecology of predator and preyLeadership and instinctManufactured fear vs. embodied sovereigntyAstrology and collective upheavalWorld Peace energyReleasing victim consciousnessAnd concludes with a powerful Reiki meditation to:Heal inner conflictReclaim sovereigntySend love to those sufferingAnchor peace in the collective fieldThis is not about bypassing pain.It is about remembering our power within community.And that we are never helpless when we have Reiki.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!

In a world that constantly pulls at our attention, opinions, and energy, reclaiming sovereignty is a spiritual act. In this conversation, Reiki teachers Colleen and Robyn Benelli join Pam Allen-LeBlanc to explore what sovereignty and inner authority truly mean in Reiki practice and everyday life.Together, they unpack how Reiki supports self-trust, discernment, and ethical clarity—especially for sensitive, empathic practitioners. You'll hear how sovereignty manifests in healing sessions, teaching, boundaries, leadership, and decision-making, and why inner authority is not about control but about alignment.The episode closes with a deeply calming guided Reiki meditation to help you come home to yourself, release external influence, and rest in the quiet confidence of your own inner knowing.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Colleen & Robyn's Information:Website:  www.Reikilifestyle.comEmail: colleen@reikilifestyle.com, robyn@reikilifestyle.com___A special thanks goes out to Music from Pixabay for the intro music and to Nate Miller for the meditation music. Register for our newsletter!

In this beautiful episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore the connection between Reiki and Hinduism through the lived experience of a student who walks with both traditions every day. Rather than approaching the topic academically, we enter it the way Reiki enters our lives—gently, honestly, and through the doorway of personal truth.Together, we talk about how Hindu philosophy, deities, and devotional practices inform her healing journey, and how Reiki has become a supportive thread woven through it all. We look at where the two paths naturally harmonize, how they differ, and how they can coexist in a way that is both respectful and deeply nourishing.We also touch on some of the common questions and misunderstandings people have about integrating different spiritual traditions. And through it all, you'll hear a theme that runs through everything I teach: that Source—whatever name you use—is bigger than any one system, and that when we listen with our hearts—and with Reiki—we're always guided toward what strengthens, uplifts, and heals.If you've ever wondered how Reiki can align with religious or devotional practices… or if you simply enjoy hearing the many beautiful ways people walk their spiritual path, this conversation will open your heart and expand your understanding.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Get in Touch with Ankitha:Instagram: @healingwithankitha Email: healingwithankitha@gmail.com Website www.healingwithankitha.com Register for our newsletter!

Old-timers who have lived here for decades may remember a time when dining options that went beyond Taiwanese cuisine were very limited.

Taiwan's presence on the global stage is often hindered due to international politics. But, the recent visit to Taipei by Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego points to a practical solution. As Tamkang Univeristy professor of Diplomacy and International Affairs James Chen explains, urban diplomacy opens diplomacy at the subnational level, and can lead to practical and positive solutions which impact our everyday lives. ICRT's Hope Ngo and Tim Berge tell us more. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, I sit down with the wonderful Walter Lübeck for a conversation that surprised even me with its depth and clarity. Together, we explore what it means to work with Artificial Intelligence consciously—not as something to fear or resist, but as a tool that can genuinely support our lives, our spiritual paths, and the healing work we're here to do.We talk about the moment each of us realized that AI could become a collaborator rather than a threat, and how this new technology can actually help us access deeper intuition, creativity, and alignment when used with intention. Walter brings his unique blend of wisdom, humour, and honesty to the discussion, and we explore everything from ethics and discernment to the role Reiki plays in guiding our relationship with AI.What I love about this conversation is how grounded and human it is. We don't romanticize technology, and we don't give it power it doesn't have. Instead, we talk about how to stay sovereign… how to stay conscious… and how to make choices that truly support our wellbeing, our businesses, and the greater good.If you're curious about AI, or if you've felt unsure about how it fits into your life or spiritual practice, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a beautiful reminder that we always get to choose how we engage with the world around us.And as always, Reiki holds the conversation—inviting us into a future where intuition and technology work together to uplift, heal, and inspire.  And Walter shares a beautiful meditation with us at the end - you're going to love it!______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!InstagramFacebookYoutubepam@reikifromthefarm.com______Walter Lübeckinfo@walterluebeck.comHomepageSuper-podcast channel https://walterluebeckreikiandmore.supercast.com/Register for our newsletter!

Sometimes life says “no” or “not now.”The deal falls through. The election is lost. The project stalls. And disappointment creeps in — along with exhaustion, doubt, and the question — why?I've experienced several recent disappointments — from not renting our Campobello home to election results to political decisions that prioritize short-term profit over long-term care for our planet.We will explore how Reiki helps us release resistance, shift perspective, and find the hidden gifts in every “no.” Disappointment isn't a dead end — it's a sacred redirection.Together, we'll reflect on how to pivot with grace, how to listen for the soul's guidance in the midst of chaos, and how to trust that life is always leading us — even when the road bends unexpectedly.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!

Viola van Onselen and Erik van Onselen-de Jong originally came to Taiwan to pursue higher education, but quickly got the cycling bug. To stay healthy and escape urban pressure, they began exploring the beauty and charms of Taiwan by bike. And their book “A Cyclist's Guide to Taiwan”, is the product of their adventures. The book is easy to understand, covers all of Taiwan, and includes breathtaking photos which chronicle their adventures. Get your copy of the book online, at onsgo.org/shop.

In a world where division feels louder than ever, our share explores how we're not as different as we think — and how showing up authentically can be a powerful antidote to polarization. We'll dig into how our culture of sameness, algorithms, and chatbots shape conversations, and hidden fears of being unseen all keep us in boxes. Then we'll go deeper: what does authentic self-expression really look like — for individuals, communities, and society at large?We'll blend story, science, and meditation and reflect on how we fall into “us vs them”, how technology (including bots and chat AI) amplifies voices and distorts consensus, and how each of us can help build space for connection, nuance, and genuine voice.Let's lean into who we are, together.Here's a link to the Mel Robbins podcast that inspired this episode:  https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-329/______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!

Bag of cash left in train station bathroom leads police to bust fraud ring The Railway Police Bureau says it has arrested 11 suspects suspected of operating a fraud ring after discovering they'd being using a train station public toilet as a hand-off point for illicit cash. According to the bureau, the investigation began after a passenger found a bag containing 1-million N-T cash in a men's bathroom stall at Changhua's Yuanlin Station. Police say a man later appeared at the station claiming he had left his bag in the bathroom. He was questioned, failed to account for where the money came from and was arrested on the spot after authorities concluded the cash was illegally obtained (獲得) via fraud.
