In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Donna Alexander, a reiki practitioner who has trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities.
After feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled running her floristry business, Donna began to suffer from burnout. Upon going to see her massage therapist, she suggested that Donna try reiki. This experience was transformational for Donna, setting her on a new path of healing and wellbeing, encouraging her to leave behind the things that were no longer serving her.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When you’re in the wrong job or environment it can have a detrimental impact on your well-being.
- Reiki and energy healing can provide balance on all levels of your being.
- Connecting in with guides and angels can give a sense of comfort and support.

- Grounding and protecting yourself is important when coming into contact with others’ energies.
- Sometimes people and situations you have outgrown need to fall away to make room for new opportunities to emerge.
BEST MOMENTS
- “You often could be chatting to a stranger or suddenly you say hello, or you make eye contact and the next thing they're telling their life story. So obviously, when I had my business, I met a lot of people, so there was always that connection, but it was also very draining.”
- “So anyway, I just trusted her, and she started sort of doing a little bit of like a meditation to relax me and things like that. And she proceeded to do Reiki and I just could feel myself relaxing. And then I could see colours floating in and out of my eyes.”
- “I felt so good. I completely had gone into that room, dark, upset, crying, aching, everything, just feeling really traumatized. Going home, I was buzzing.”
- “We started to manifest and do positive affirmations. And then we would be really woo woo and be asking the angels for help. In your head's rationale you think, no, I can't, what is she talking about, the angels?!”
- “I had a sign above the door, 3D letters that were pinned onto the wall sort of thing. The letters started falling off. One at a time. And I was like, it's just a sign, you know, the universe telling me that this isn't going to be in my life for much longer.”
- “Reiki one was such an enlightenment really because we had case studies to do, basically working on family and friends. They were my guinea pigs, but they were all completely blown away by the experience. And I was completely blown away by the experience. How can something like that be so powerful?”
- “If there's something that doesn't feel right, you have to listen to that and act on it and know that you can change the way it's making you feel. So, if you're in that job, that feels rubbish, there are ways out it. There are always opportunities. You just need to keep your mind open.”
