Overview of Reiki - The who, what, when, where, how and why. I discuss how Reiki works, how it can help you calm yourself, relax naturally and reduce stress. I also discuss my own experience with Reiki. I share a simple energy awareness exercise and an invitation to an upcoming online seminar in August 2021.

This is a guided visualization exercise that includes conscious breathing and body awareness. It is important to be in a safe, quiet and distraction free environment when doing this exercise. It should not be attempted while driving, operating equipment, or in a location where you attention is divided. This is a great exercise to do in combination with 4-Fold Breathing, the Body Scan and other exercises in this series.

In this episode I talk about my personal experience with persistent chronic illness and pain. The challenges and frustrations of playing a never ending game of whack-a-mole with my health and feeling like I was on a merry-go-round of symptom, diagnosis, medication, repeat.

This is my origin story of how I was living in denial of my stress and how it ultimately broke down my health to the point where I had to take drastic action and change my life.

After I changed course, I was able to eliminate all prescription and over the counter medications within 6 months and have been medication free for nearly 2 decades.

If you feel frustrated that symptom suppression is a dead-end, if you're tired of the medication merry-go-round, please listen.
