  • Reiki Master Dr. Judith Hong: Through the Fire
    Oct 21 2023

    Join us on a captivating journey with the multi-faceted Dr. Judith Hong, who embodies not just one, but several roles; she is a UCSF-trained dermatologist who is also an artist, gymnast, hockey player, dancer, and Reiki master.

    Dr. Hong brings forth how her world transformed after moving to Sonoma County, when the universe introduced her to the energy healing practice of Reiki-- and soon afterwards, when her life changed overnight due to the destructive Tubbs Fire.

    We move beyond the usual medical discussions when Dr. Hong recounts memorable experiences from her practice where Reiki helped her patients heal. One moving story highlights a patient with a lifelong fear of needles undergoing a melanoma excision. This patient's journey underlines the core philosophy of Reiki - it isn't about the healer, but about allowing patients to access their innate ability to heal themselves.

    In this episode, we also touch on placebo-controlled trials, but Reiki is more than just a healing practice—it is a meditative, compassionate, and mindful practice. The healing that happens through Reiki is a natural outcome, not a forced process.

    Dr. Hong encourages all listeners to explore what resonates with them, urging everyone to consider Reiki for self-healing, healing others, and even for the planet.
