  When the nervous system is overwhelmed, self-compassion seems out of reach One of the most common things I witness in my Reiki sessions is this: someone comes in feeling deeply overwhelmed, and on top of that overwhelm, they are frustrated with themselves for feeling that way. They tell me they “should” be able to handle it, that they know better, or that they’re just too sensitive. And I gently remind them that a dysregulated nervous system is not a mindset failure, it is an energetic state. When you are overwhelmed, your energy contracts. Your shoulders tighten, your breath becomes shallow, your jaw clenches, and your heart subtly closes. This is not a weakness. This is your body's protection mechanism. Your nervous system shifts into survival: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, because somewhere inside, it perceives that something is too much. It might not be physical danger. It might be responsibility, pressure, emotional labor, unprocessed grief, or simply moving too fast for t...

What Is Manifesting? As a Reiki energy healer, I view manifesting not as “wishful thinking,” but as a conscious energetic practice. Manifesting is the process of aligning your thoughts, emotions/feelings, beliefs, and energy with what you desire, so it can meet you in the physical world. Everything is energy, including your intentions, and when your inner world is clear and aligned, your outer world naturally begins to respond. At its core, manifesting starts with awareness. Your thoughts carry frequency , your emotions give them power, and your beliefs act as the blueprint. When there are energetic blocks, such as fear, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, or a lack of self-worth, they can quietly interfere with what you’re trying to call in. This is why so many people feel like they’re “doing all the right things” but still feel stuck. The energy beneath the intention matters just as much as the intention itself. From an energetic perspective, manifesting is about becoming a match for ...

What is Libra Season? As the Sun moves into Libra, we’re invited to step into a season of  harmony, connection, balance and beauty . Libra, an air sign ruled by Venus, thrives on relationships, creativity, and fairness.

As a Reiki energy healer, one of the most important practices I share with my clients is grounding . In our fast-paced, overstimulated world, it’s easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of thoughts, emotions, and external energy. Grounding brings us back to center, reconnecting us to the Earth, our bodies, and the present moment. What Is Grounding? Grounding is the energetic practice of anchoring your energy into the Earth. Imagine yourself as a tree: when your roots are deep and strong, you can sway with the winds of life without being uprooted. Grounding keeps you steady, calm, and aligned, even during emotional upheavals or even spiritual growth spurts. Benefits of Grounding Your Energy Emotional balance: Reduces feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or scattered thoughts. Clearer intuition: When your energy is steady, your inner guidance becomes easier to hear. Physical vitality: Supports the flow of life force energy (chi) through your body, increasing vitality. Spiritual safety: Kee...

  What is Virgo Season? After the fiery, bold vibes of Leo Season, the cosmos shifts gears into something more grounded, intentional, and healing. From  August 23 to September 22 , the Sun travels through  Virgo , the sign of practicality, wellness, and sacred order. Virgo Season is like a cosmic reset button, it’s about clearing the clutter, refining our routines, and aligning with what truly supports our mind, body, and spirit.

Not all wounds are visible. As a Reiki energy healer, I’ve learned that some of the deepest pain lives beneath the surface where no one can see, quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. These are the wounds from abandonment, betrayal, rejection, abuse or never feeling fully seen or valued. They don’t leave scars on our skin, but they can create energetic blocks in our chakras , tension in our bodies, and patterns that repeat in our lives. You may be carrying unresolved emotional pain if you: 1. You overreact to small situations and feel triggered in ways that seem “too much” 2. You struggle with self-worth or keep attracting relationships, both platonic and romantic, that mirror your old wounds 3. You feel constantly tired, emotionally numb, or disconnected from your body 4. You have a hard time setting boundaries or feel like you need to control everything just to feel safe These are not flaws—they are signs your inner self is asking for healing and care. When we car...

What is Cancer Season? As the Sun moves into the water sign of Cancer, we’re invited to slow down, soften, and return to the sanctuary of our hearts. Cancer season (June 21 – July 22) marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere—a time of warmth, nourishment, and emotional renewal. Governed by the Moon, Cancer energy brings us home to ourselves, urging us to tend to our emotional bodies, deepen our intuition, and create safe, sacred spaces—both within and around us. As a Reiki energy healer, I see Cancer season as a powerful opportunity to reconnect with self-love, compassion and activate the healing energy of the heart. If you’ve been feeling overextended or disconnected, this season is your invitation to come back to center and hold yourself with the tenderness you so often offer others. Tap Into Cancer Energy Nurture Your Inner Child Cancer rules over childhood and our early emotional patterns. Place your hands on your heart and send  loving words to the version of y...

What Is Taurus Season?  As the Sun shifts into Taurus (April 20 – May 20), we move from the fiery, fast-paced momentum of Aries into the earthy, sensual realm of the Bull. Taurus season is a time to slow down, ground your energy, and reconnect with the beauty of the present moment. Ruled by Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and abundance—Taurus invites us to savor life’s pleasures, create stability, and build things that last. Tips to Tap Into Taurus Energy Connect with Nature Taurus thrives outdoors. Take walks barefoot on the earth, visit a botanical garden, or bring fresh flowers into your space. Let nature’s rhythm remind you to slow down and breathe. Create Sensory Rituals Engage your senses—light a candle with your favorite scent, make a comforting meal, play music that moves your soul, or enjoy a luxurious bath. Taurus energy is deeply embodied and sensual. Simplify Your Life Use this time to declutter your home, streamline your schedule, and focus on what truly brings you p...
