Dive into the profound world of Reiki Fusion with Christine and Shantel as they explore the balance between Masculine and Feminine energies in our Reiki practice. The conversation illuminates how Reiki itself embodies both energies—its essence is inherently feminine, flowing like water, while its teaching structure provides the masculine container that allows it to be shared and practiced systematically.

Yet many practitioners struggle with finding balance, either clinging to rigid protocols or abandoning structure entirely for intuitive flow. Christine invites us to consider: What if the hand positions and symbols we've been taught are simply "training wheels" until we learn to dance with the energy authentically?


This exploration extends beyond Reiki technique into how we live our daily lives. Along the way, we cover:

  • The inspiring story behind the term Reiki fusion
  • Why balancing feminine flow and masculine structure can deepen your energy work
  • A powerful insight Christine received on Mount Kurama—where Reiki began
  • How Reiki naturally blends intuition and structure (and why that matters)
  • Common struggles practitioners face in their practice
  • Reframing hand positions and symbols as "training wheels"
  • How this energy balance plays out in everyday life—especially for women
  • Simple ways to return to center when you're feeling out of sync
  • A look into Christine’s upcoming Reiki Master Teacher Training (East meets West)
  • How to find your unique, authentic Reiki path
  • And more!

There's no single "correct" way to practice Reiki—what matters is finding your authentic balance between structure and flow, tradition and intuition, boundaries and receptivity. Ready to dive in? Listen now!

Speaker 1:

It's time to remember your divine purpose and limitless potential. Welcome to Wisdom Rising, the official podcast of Moon Rising Shamanic Institute. Join shamanic Reiki practitioners Christine Rene, isabel Wells and Chantel Ochoa as we guide you on a journey of radical self-discovery and spiritual guidance. Each week, we'll dance through the realms of shamanism, mysticism, energy healing and personal development to illuminate your path to true healing and self-sourced wisdom Through weekly inspired conversations and interviews with leading spiritual and shamanic practitioners. We are here to help you acknowledge, reconcile and balance your energy so that you can awaken to the whispers of wisdom rising from within. Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode here on the Wisdom Rising podcast. In today's episode, you'll be joined with Christine and Chantel as they dive into the topic of Reiki fusion. For years, christine has blended Eastern and Western teachings in her Reiki master's training, but that's not all that the term Reiki fusion represents for us here at Moon Rising. In this conversation, chantel and Christine will share profound insights into masculine and feminine energy patterns, calling on the wisdom and information that Christine received during her time on Mount Kurama this May. They'll also explore how Reiki fusion guides us on the path to balancing these energies while deepening our Reiki practice. This conversation goes beyond the typical idea of masculine and feminine energy and really dives into the energetic archetypes of these two, understanding that, while the highest ideal from our crown chakra is non-duality, while we are embodied in this physical plane, we are in a world of duality, and understanding how to navigate that in a balanced and harmonious way is really what allows our Reiki energy to awaken and flow. If you're listening to this episode live when it airs on June 9th 2025, know that this is your last chance to enroll for Christine's Reiki Master Teacher Training that starts on June 12th. This Thursday. She'll be diving into everything you hear in today's episode and so much more, blending the Eastern and Western teachings that she has become so familiar with over the course of two pilgrimages to Japan to learn about Reiki from those who are closest to its source, as well as the Western teachings that she has been learning and receiving from her Reiki guides for the past 20 years. Having taken her master's class two times now, I can say that it is unlike any master's class that I have taken, and I highly, highly recommend this course to any Reiki level twos or Reiki masters who are just looking for a deep dive and a rekindling of that Reiki energy. And, of course, don't forget to subscribe to our Moon Rising newsletter so that you can stay up to date on all of the amazing masterclasses, book clubs, free webinars and more that we have coming up for you.

With all of that said, let's go to the show.

Speaker 2:

Welcome, welcome everyone to our Whispers of Wisdom. I'm your host, christine Rene, and I'm joining with Chantel Ochoa for this conversation on Reiki Fusion, balancing the masculine and feminine energies, and I have to say that I got on the call this morning with Chantel. We both recognize that we're both wearing red, we both have our hair braided. We're feeling freaking cute.

Speaker 3:

Unplanned, totally unplanned. That was awesome, though.

Speaker 2:

I love it and I literally like I saw this dress and I was like that is what I'm wearing today, like I have to go on live in this dress. So here I am drinking my we're both drinking coffees and you know, I feel like there's so much to be had in this conversation and when I was on Japan, on Mount Kurama in Japan, where you know, here's the site of where Asui quote unquote received his enlightenment, the Asui Gongen is this Kami giant cedar tree that fell and it was supposed to be the divine representation of the divine masculine on the mountain and that is supposedly where Asui was. Well, literally 10 feet from the tree is the divine feminine representation being this fountain. There was this fountain and it's at the top of the mountain. So it shouldn't be. It's not a spring that should be sprung, being on the top of a mountain, and yet it's like that's one of the reasons why it's so miraculous. Here's this flow of water at the top of a mountain and it's the divine feminine. So, and we always hear he was in front of this tree and it's like he was next to the fountain. He was in front of this tree and it's like he was next to the fountain. You know, there's a part of it that I feel like we only got half the story, and it was this trip that really made it click going. No, he was sitting between the tree and the fountain, he was sitting with them, both the divine masculine and the divine feminine. And what does that mean? Here we have the divine feminine in constant flow, and constant like giving is she's just offering so much of her constant flow of waters.

Speaker 2:

And when we peel the layers back to what does Reiki mean? When you actually go to the kanji, it's something to the effect of the female shaman that flows water through her mouth to the earth, which grows the grains of rice, that produces steam and feeds the mind, body and spirit. Okay, right, feeds the mind, body and spirit? Okay, right. And so you have this innate feminine energy that, through the lens of Reiki in the 1920s, 1930s, has a very masculine overtone to it, because it is so innately feminine that the masculine had to bring in the structure. That's what it feels like the masculine had to bring in the structure to say here are the hand positions, here's the rules, here's what we're going to do, here's the chance, here's the trainings, here's A, b and C and X, y and Z, and the energy herself feels feminine, and so this is kind of what I want to talk about today. Is that it's both, and what does that mean for our practices? What does it mean for us as practitioners and how does it feel in our bodies to experience that dichotomy?

Speaker 3:

Yes, yeah, I think that it's so powerful because we do need to fill into the dichotomy of both sides, right. And I find it interesting because when I do Reiki, when I'm in a session, I always start. Well, I don't always start, but I will wrap around one side in the masculine energy and come around to the feminine energy, because when you're actually you work on both sides. You feel the difference in the person and their energetic field. You can't ignore one without the other, right? It's like you can't massage one half of your body and ignore the other half. We have to bring in that balance. So I love that you're bringing this up, because I think it can become very masculine when we're just following the system itself, our intuition and being in flow with how Reiki is showing up for us in our sessions, with ourself and with others, and we can really be in the structure of what we need to do and, at the same time, in the flow with the feminine energy to help us just really be in that beautiful experience of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, and I want, I want to. I want to ask you a question. I want to go back the way you do sessions. Does that mean that you start on the left side of the body or do you start on the right side and you start on the right for the math?

Speaker 3:

I actually listened to my intuition. So if I'm guided to the, to the left, I do. If I'm guided to the right, but a lot of times I do find it is more the right side. It's going to be more of the masculine, but I do make sure both sides are done.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cause I mean I think that even that in and of itself is going like yeah, we have a rule book that says that we're supposed to quote unquote from a traditional perspective, start at the head and certain hand positions and move down the body, and I've always, for as long as I can remember, go say kind of like fuck that, like I'm not doing it that way. Yeah yeah, like it didn't feel right to me. It never has. Starting at my head has always made me feel really out of body and ungrounded and um, just not not fully present and and so I've always started at the Hara, your belly button area, and then moved down to root chakra and work my way up, like I've always done that way. I've I've trained my students to do it that way and with the caveat of, if that doesn't feel right for you, here are the traditional feel into both. Do what feels right to you, right.

Speaker 2:

And I think that for me is the balance of the masculine and the feminine, of saying look, here's what the intention behind all of this was and trust your own intuition, aka your feminine flow of what feels right to you in this moment with this client, with your body, whatever who you're working on, and trust that process, because the energy itself is in balance. The energy itself is very it's flow, it's, it's wants to show up, and so if we dropped the rule book of how it's supposed to be and trust it's leading me to exactly where I need to be, maybe the hand positions are really just freaking training wheels, maybe that the symbols are training wheels. Maybe maybe there's all of the structure that's been put in place to to kind of make it foolproof, to make it easy. But when do we let the training wheels off and just dance with Reiki?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and I agree with that. It actually in my um, my workbook, it does when I'm doing level one, cause actually I had level one on Saturday, so you are reminding me of, you know, a section in there where it says just that that we are Reiki and to just be Reiki, and so these symbols are kind of like training wheels, so to speak. You use them until you are so confident that you are just Reiki. You walk in, you're in the bubble of Reiki, you exude Reiki, you just are the expansive energy of it. Always.

Speaker 3:

So for me, I'm just at a place of my intention is, wherever I go, it's with me, I just am right. And so, instead of feeling like I got to turn it on or feeling like I got to line up, I got to call in, I just always feel like I'm in this protective energy and there are things that I do to make sure I am protected on a regular basis, but I'm not always in that conscious awareness Like I am protected. I just know that I am. And when people feel things around me, I'm like, yeah, that's, it's Reiki, it's just Reiki, right, instead of feeling like we have to be so structured.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yes, exactly Like I feel like when you start to live a Reiki lifestyle, you feel that more and more, that it's just showing up. For me it doesn't. It's not something that has to be done in this really tight container of a session. I mean it absolutely can, and that's beautiful in and of itself.

Speaker 2:

I love Reiki sessions and I feel like when the original Reiki development this was about the personal practice of coming into flow with your Kokoro and I love that word because it's kind of it has that in the translation of balancing the heart, mind and in a way that feels like balancing the feminine, masculine right.

Speaker 2:

And so if we are coming into balance, these and I think this is where I get frustrated, and I think a lot of people get frustrated is that we have a lot of conversations these days on the divine feminine and the sacred masculine and in that conversation we forget that we each, as individuals, contain and hold both, that one isn't better than the other, that they're about this fusion, it's about this continuation of coming together. And so how does it feel to recognize within myself this is my masculine energy and this is my feminine energy, and are they matured Meaning? Does your feminine feel safe to fully express and to flow and to have that wildness about her. And does your internal masculine feel like it's there to have the logical, have the structure, have the boundaries put in place and is it developed within you? Right, because the development within you then provides a mature being ready to live life to its fullness, right, and to have relationship with others, knowing that we're balanced within, right, yeah.

Speaker 3:

That's coming to center point right, when we are in balance of both sides, and we know when we're balanced on both sides and when we're out of balance. And when we are and I think this is kind of what we're talking about prior to getting on is when we aren't in balance, one side or the other is going to dominate our decision making, our life, our reactions, our responses. So it's knowing when we're in balance we can be the one that needs the structure when we need it, but we can be in flow and receive. And I think with like being in flow with the feminine is it is so hard for people to receive, you know, especially now we are go, go, go all the time. We're running very masculine.

Speaker 3:

Families are disrupted with divorce and separation and all these different things. So the mothers typically take on both roles, you know, and all of that. So women in general are becoming very masculine in their energy because they're having to work and work the home and do the children and all the things, and so, as women, it's really difficult to sit back and to receive until you get to say you know what. I need to be in balance with myself. What does this look like? And it's going to look like different for each one of us, but really it's being in balance. I need to go out and earn and do what I need to do, but when I'm home I get to receive. I get to be the one that can come home and be in my soft place. My home gets to be my sanctuary and I feel like when we can create that sacred space within our home, both the masculine and the feminine can show up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I feel like it's so individualistic too right, like we need to have some space to develop self-awareness practices. Yes, right, because I feel like when I went to Japan the first time, holy crap, I was living 95% of my masculine. I didn't even know what the feminine was Like. I knew she was out there in there somewhere, but like she was not present at all because my life didn't allow her to feel safe enough to have the time and appreciation to be expressed. Right? And and then this time it was a completely different energy. I, I think I live predominantly from a very feminine place of flow and going. Hmm, what do I feel good about doing today? How do I want to show up in my fullness today and express myself? And do I need some structure? Like I literally came home and it was so funny, because it's like I'm, I feel so in flow that I started doing my time tracker again, and a time tracker is something that I usually give our beginner students in soul rising to kind of identify where they are spending time and in which category of life, whether that is, that's in your spirituality or sexuality, your home environment, your partnership, like whatever it may be like there in your spirituality or sexuality, your home environment, your partnership, like whatever it may be like there's like 10 different categories. But it's because I'm so like right now I feel so in flow. I needed a masculine element to come in, to show me the structure, to have this logical aspect in what I was doing, because it felt supportive, to give me a container, right Of my time, right To just and to have that level of self-awareness of where I was spending my time so I wouldn't spiral off too much in one direction and really kind of help me hold the idea of balance right. And so I feel like there are there is this recognition, I think right now in our in our culture, there's this recognition that women are kind of fed up of being in that masculine role, like we don't want to hold it all we and. And so there's a ginormous swing into one direction of like doing the divine feminine work, which is amazing and part of it should be like I I hate shitting on people Like I take that back.

Speaker 2:

I feel like the most beautiful way to help hone in on your divine feminine is the appreciation of both within. And if we don't have an internal masculine energy within ourselves that say I'm not available for this. I am available for that. That's really setting up that linear structure and boundaries. If we can't express what our boundaries are, that's when things get. That can be taken advantage of or that can be where things go.

Speaker 2:

Afoul is that in that divine feminine space of like, I'm in my full divine feminine energy and that's all there is for me full divine feminine energy, and that's all there is for me. There's also, I'm fully receiving. I'm receiving everything that everyone could possibly send to me, without any boundaries, without any restriction, and we become this full receptive being which is then out of balance. And so I think that's where there's a huge amount of caution of like. Going fully in your feminine can feel amazing and wild and free. And yet what about our own boundaries that we need to create within ourself of going?

Speaker 2:

I'm not available for this practice. This makes me feel uncomfortable. Therefore, I'm going to use my voice, my inner masculine voice, my solar plexus power, to say I'm not available for this. This is not who I am, this is not who I want to be. And from that point of like, going from a very masculine energy within myself swinging over into the feminine and working my way into this balance has been a lesson in and onto itself. And where's the Reiki thread within it? All right, like I feel like when I can go into the structure of a session here's a session I can go into the structure of a session. Here's a session, there's a door, there's a place, there's a table, there's music right. That actual environment provides a sanctuary, a space that can hold it. So there's the masculine right and go ahead.

Speaker 3:

When you said, like the container that brought in such a great visual of the masculine is the container, that's the structure, as you're saying the room, the building, the place, the energy is the feminine, that's the flow that was within the container and so that brings in such a great balance, because you can be all flowy and feminine within it. But those boundaries, those that container is going to give you the structure that you need so you can bring in both the masculine and the feminine, because if we are too much in our feminine then it's very difficult to achieve a lot. Right, because you need the structure of the masculine to set the goals, to be structured, to be focused on all the details. That's not feminine energy. The feminine energy is to receive and to create and to let it be right. We're manifesting, we put it out in the universe and we sit and let it come to us and flow. It's the structure that then lets us go out and do all of the work for it.

Speaker 3:

So when we find that balance, like even for me, I always visualize and I like tell my students and clients like it's like the pendulum swinging right, where are you within your two energies? Are you way over here swinging on your masculine? Are you way over here swinging in your feminine? When it comes to that center point and it drops in, that's when you know you are fully balanced. But you can visually see where you are. Even if you need to use an actual pendulum to do that energy, you can see where your energy is holding up at and then you can do the work. Okay, I need to tune into her or I need to tune into him, you know the sides of ourself and but that visual was really powerful right there, because I was like, yes, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 3:

We need the structures, but we also need to be in our feminine and I know, like with with you, sui Reiki, the lineage is what? One hundred and three years now, but really Reiki has been here since the beginning of time, Like it is literally the life force, energy of all things on our planet, all living things. So this is one structure of Reiki and one teaching, one lineage, but it is all things. We are Reiki, we are, you know, divine energy, we are source energy and that's what it all comes from Nature, animism, all of it. It's all connected. We're all connected to everything. It's a universal law of one that has this Reiki energy flowing through us. We're just learning through the structure of Usui Reiki.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah, exactly Exactly. Like I love it. We can end the conversation here, right, like I think there's that's so important to reflect on, like we have, I feel.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, let me just ask you this real fast so with the, the fountain, with the water and the tree, do they honor the water at all, or is that just? It's just there?

Speaker 2:

You know it's hard to say, because I feel like a lot of it's like, oh, it's just there. You know it's hard to say, because I feel like a lot of it's like, oh, it's just there. Like I think I missed, I missed it, I missed the point of it all. The first Japan trip, like I didn't get it, like it didn't make any sense, like it was like here's this tree, it fell down, it's super important, the Reiki world. I'm like I don't, I don't, I don't understand. Like nothing, none of it landed and um, and on this trip I was like oh, wait, wait, wait, hold, hold, hold up, let me, let me make sure I got this. This tree is supposed to be divine, masculine, and it fell over and it took out a temple and literally, trees in the fountain, 10 feet away are completely undisturbed. Literally, trees in the fountain 10 feet away are completely undisturbed.

Speaker 3:

And this is this should feel really significant Right, the symbolism of it should be filled very significant and and here's this, here's this fountain, and you know there's fountains all over the mountain.

Speaker 2:

There's a water aspect everywhere, like I think that's part of every single sacred space has water, and there's a ritual of washing, like taking the scoop and washing your hands. I think it's left, right, left, and then you sip and you drink some of the water. And so these stations of fountains are all over the mountain, especially at these temples, and a lot of the temples are for masculine energy. So let's take Mao Zen, who his energy is like a force, literally a force, like everything, is these beautiful trees, and here's this temple and behind it are these massive boulders and the. The folklore, or the myth story of Mao Zedong is that he came in to earth on like this asteroid that like, blew up the earth and this is the point of creation, is like his, his earthiness, and so you have all these ginormous boulders everywhere behind the temple, and Mao Zen is, is the, this deity of groundedness, he's the deity of the earth, and at his temple there's a fountain, and the fountain is the most fountainous of fountains, meaning it's perfect. The stream of water, when there is no wind, comes perfect connection with the pool, without any ripples. It looks like it's one constant flow, like a pitcher, like there's. You can't tell if it's flowing or not. It looks. It looks like it's one constant flow, like a pitcher, like there's an. You can't tell that if it's flowing or not, it looks. It looks like it's standstill and it's like the how masculine this, this, this, uh, this temple is, is balanced by the perfection of this perfect flowing water, and you can't get, you can't perfect it anymore. I have like no idea how. Like there's no engineering, like that's just the way it is Right, and so there's a lot of spaces where the feminine is respected, but it's in this flow of water, and so it's.

Speaker 2:

It's interesting, as you have a temple for mouse, and then you up the up the mountain a little bit and you have a temple for Mao Zen, and then you up the up the mountain a little bit and you have a temple for Fudo Mio, which is like this really scary deity, like he's ready to like chop things up and burn things away and like make you see your shit and all the things I love. Fudo, like he's great to help you get into the light, and so he's got a space, and then you go up further to the mountain, you have that space where you see all the roots and that's where these trees and the fountain are, and it feels more feminine up there, like in this in-between space. And then you get to the very top of the mountain and this is kind of where the deity of Bishmantan is. Bishmantan is the deity who is like more of a cosmic being and, and so it's like you travel up and you have this masculine and then like somewhat feminine energy in the middle, where the tree and the fountain are, and then at the top you have more of this masculine energy and it's cosmic Right and there's the container for the feminine Right. So here's the thing. It it's like you have masculine energy, uh, which is mao sen, then the middle, which gosh freaking, put a kanan statue there. Like I'm like, come on, where's her temple? Like we have temples for these other dudes, and I'm like and I want one for her. And then, and then at the main temple complex you have it's the top, it's like Bishamontan is is definitely represented there, but then you have three deities and it's like the Trinity, and the Trinity of the energy itself is Santen, which is like really the best way to describe it is like Holy Spirit, right, it's the all that is. It has no image, right.

Speaker 2:

And so you have all of it happening on Mount Karama, which is really what I'm going to be kind of getting more into in the Reiki fusion class. Like I believe in balance, I believe in honoring our history and understanding the culture in which Reiki was born. And I will be the first one to say that, after this trip in particular, I'm not a Buddhist. And even though that Reiki has a Buddhist foundation, it is not. It is not Buddhism Buddhist foundation. It is not, it is not Buddhism. And whether or not you care about these deities, it doesn't matter for your practice, it matters that you understand the reason why. So we went up to Mount Karama, which I'll be doing a webinar on, and understand what was his motivation and to understand the cultural context and to know we live in a different cultural context. The Reiki has developed and evolved over the last hundred plus years to really bring in more balance than the original could offer. And you know it gave me a much more gratitude Like the more I sit with it, I'm like I'm in a much more gratitude space for Takata, because she, she did, she did strip away a lot of the masculine practices that had been founded in Buddhism and her voice was known Like she wasn't even supposed to be freaking, taught Like they were.

Speaker 2:

Like you're too American, you're too American for for Reiki. And she was denied. And she got a doctor to write her a letter of recommendation that she should be trained and it's like a was a personal favor between this doctor to keep positive, healthy relations between him and this clinic, this Reiki clinic. Right, like I'll you need to take this person on or I might not send more patients to you. Like it's kind of like the undertone, right, and so um, the at in the beginning it was like they tolerated her. They didn't want her. They tolerated her because she was so American and outspoken and would ask questions, and that's not okay for women to do in Japan.

Speaker 3:

You don't, you don't speak up. Even back then in America, still, women weren't voicing a lot. So for her to come forward that way, to like that was her intermission, is like no, this needs to come over, this needs to travel over into America. We need to teach this and I do for myself have, I believe, all healing methods and mythology, all of it, all of it. It is for the people, all the people.

Speaker 3:

Right, I know that you get the chakras here.

Speaker 3:

You get, you know, all these different healing modalities, but really it's just us all figuring out the human body and our energetic body and instead of dividing everything, we need to bring it all together and that's why there are so many layers with Reiki. Now it's like you can have the shamanism, you can have the chakra system, you can bring in the meridians, you can bring in the energy, like all of it is so encompassing because we're just trying to figure out this human vessel and it's showing up in different cultures and the more that we communicate and teach and learn, the more we get to understand our body and how to work with it, how to heal it, how not to have mental breakdowns, how not to have emotional breakdowns, how not to have emotional breakdowns, how not to let our body become diseased, right and release past traumas. And this all happens because we are working with each one and it's like finite teachings, and it's like this ability to say I see this and I see this and I can pull it all together in one method, in one healing session.

Speaker 3:

And so for me, it's like yes, all the teachers that are out there that are have brought it forward. We're just an evolution. We're taking it and we're evolving as we're meant to right now, and we are standing in our feminine energy and we have been now for what? A well over a few years. But we're in the age of Aquarius. We are in the feminine energy. Masculine energy has shifted out. That's why systems are collapsing. We are now rising up in this energy because we've been out of balance on our planet for so long.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, absolutely. So know that if you are wanting to deep dive into this topic, this is going to be kind of how and why I teach Reiki fusion, which is that honoring of the tradition and understanding how we're bringing it forward into current day and into the future, and so that we're going to be doing a review. We're going to be diving into deeper on what was happening in Mount Karama and the history. Like part of this course you'll receive I think I have over four hours of history training, like I do the deep dive, like I really want everyone to understand why and how it transformed over the years to present day and um, and then we really get into. I'm going to be including the Eastern Reiki practices self-attunements, chanting, um, how to invoke some of the powers of these deities on Mount Krama, like some of these Eastern Reiki practices that from from traditional Reiki that may not even be taught very often anymore. So I'm going to be including that. So if that is something that you're called to do, if that is a practice that you want to help heal your Kokoro, with it's available and to understand that, oh my gosh, I think this is the thing. Understand that. Oh my gosh, I think this is the thing, like when I'm in practice of doing these practices with these spiritual masters, I could feel it, I could feel all of it and it felt amazing to be in the chance to be in the practice, to hear the prayers and all of the things, and then step back and go. That was amazing. And where are the female voices? Where are the female leaders here? Like, I had that distance of like this is amazing and I love it and there's something missing. And so I want to bring forward like that, like yes, you can feel it, you can feel all of this power and energy by doing these practices, and the part that I was missing. I want to also offer right, and so we're going to be having the more modern day trainings of how do you mix modalities, how can you do this in an ethical way, how can you say Reiki to your life and beyond a session, like how can you flow with Reiki and that divine, feminine aspect? Right, and so we're going to be moving through the Eastern and the Western, we're going to be moving through the masculine and the feminine. We're going to be moving through the symbols and attunements and how to do and how to offer those and give attunements and become the teacher and really recognize where in my life can I continue to expand in my Reiki practice. So all of it's going to be there in a real juicy way so that you can come through this six week process and stand in your truth.

Speaker 2:

As I am a Reiki teacher, I am someone who has wisdom from the Reiki, from both my trainings hello masculine and from my own internal sense of self. My own internal sense of this is what is true for me. This is what I want to share. This is what is flowing and expansive in my energy today and be you and I think this is where I oftentimes confuse students and the fact that, whether you're taking our soul rising training or you're taking my Reiki masters, I always end with what feels good for you. You don't have to do it my way. There's no, there's nothing in any of this that says you must teach like X, y and Z. There is an invitation to go.

Speaker 2:

What does it look like for you to practice? What does it look like for you to be in your authenticity and still remain within ethical boundaries and practice the way you want to practice and show up the way you want to show up and what does that look like? So if you don't like a certain aspect of how I teach, I'm not taking offense to it, I'm like cool, great. What does that mean to you? How do you want to take that I don't like that piece and go. I'm going to do it my way and still come back to when you teach. How can you give it, still honor the tradition, how can you still honor the culture in which it was born, even if you don't a hundred% disagree with it? Like, agree with it, right, like I'm not a Buddhist, and yet I will teach the Buddhism cultural perspective of these practices, because it's innately where Japanese is born out of and it's important to understand that piece. But am I a Buddhist?

Speaker 3:

No, yeah, I think it's important too for this to be coming out now because you know, let's just be honest, the majority of Reiki practitioners and in healing, like, is women.

Speaker 3:

It's women, and so we do need to stand up and recognize our own energy and what we're bringing to the table, what we have to offer, and so it's not for me, it's not like, okay, men, step aside. No, it is. We need to bring in balance now and we are showing up in our feminine energy and we are saying we do have power, we do have a voice, we do have. Like, if they would have been doing the chanting and had the, the women singing, their chance, you know, bringing in that feminine voice, what a beautiful balance that would have brought in, instead of it all just being the chants of the men, right, but having this woman in the background, or even, you know, up front and center, singing and chanting, like I just feel that that day is coming, that day will rise on this planet. But right now, we are the ones we are marching for, we're the ones with our, we are on the line, we are standing, our toes are on the line right now and we're doing the work. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then you know, I love that reminder, you know, because I have been in spaces where I have taught my students and because I'm giving them permission to do it different, show up differently. And I had I once had the student she was one of my apprentices and she had taken all my Reiki trainings and she goes when I do Reiki, my hands want to do this, and it was bull, big full arm swings. And she was like and then I and I want to use my voice like this, and she would sing and I'm like great. I was like do it that way, because you know what I feel it? You are five feet away from me, I'm lying on the table and you're five feet away from me and I can feel energy throughout my whole entire body being illuminated and that aligning process happening. And so if that is through strange arm movements and your voice cool, I have no problem with that. So, and I think that's where we need to also have that permission to like let it flow the way it wants to flow.

Speaker 2:

And for me, I think in my most authentic form of Reiki, it's always with white language, like I'm always channeling some bizarre yet beautiful language, and when I let it flow out of my mouth and I move my hands the way they want to move a move. It's powerful and I and, and so with that I'm, I'm not really. I'm not really, I don't know Like I feel like that's amazing and beautiful, and I don't want to deny myself, nor deny any of my students, the possibility of their fullest expression with Reiki. Energy Reiki is what Reiki, like, has the possibility to do is to allow us to open completely and fully to our spiritual gifts and our innate beautiful nature with this energy. Why would we deny that?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it does. It knew each session should feel different, right? Because we are not working a system. We're working with the energy body on the table. So, whoever it is that you're working with, that's how we should flow, because we're connecting with that person's energy, which opens us up, right? So if it is for one person big and flowy arms and now you're chanting or you're doing light language or whatever, and now you're chanting or you're doing light language or whatever, and then you can come in and be structured because that person's energy is feeling structured, and now I feel like I need to go from head to toe, which is very rare for me. But if that person's energy feels like that, that's where I'm going to go. But if I come and it's like, oh my gosh, I am going to be dancing all over your body and in your like way up here and way down there, yes, I want to come in and be in that flow.

Speaker 3:

And when there are people in like, say, like a couple, or I have two friends that come and there's someone in there and they're just like, oh my gosh, you're just. It's like a dance, like your arms are like in a dance and it's like that's exactly what it should feel like, like you are dancing with the energy, you're moving and flow with it. Your eyes are closed, you're in your third eye, everything is open, heart is open, expansion is there. That is exactly what's being offered. But when we want to be in that, when we find ourselves in the masculine, that's when you're like this, and I think that's a really easy way for people to see where they are. Are you flowy with your energy or do you feel very structured? And if you are structured, does that feel right for you? Does that feel good, or do you feel like you're listening to somebody else's way of doing it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So we will continue, we'll continue in the conversation, we'll continue in training and showing up and our voices of, and permission that you too can find your balance of flow, because I feel like when we are in that balance, we have a mature masculine and feminine within, we are at our most powerful. We are at our most powerful in our voice and in our bodies and, knowing what we're available for and what we're not available for, we're we're just um, it just feels absolutely amazing to to have that internal compass and have Reiki flow with us in that. And so thank you all for joining us in the conversation today, for taking time out of your day to listen, and until next time, may the whispers of wisdom rise from within.
