Earthly MusingsEp. 8 | What is Reiki? w/ Jessica LeporeJoin me and Jessica Lepore, Reiki Master Teacher and Holistic Health and Wellness Coach, as we talk about Reiki and our journey through developing our practice and working with clients. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that allows the practitioner to tap into the universal life force energy while gently placing their hands on the client to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and anxiety. Reiki helps the body enter the parasympathetic nervous system so that healing can occur. Reiki has been integral in both of our healing journeys and we are so excited to share this topic with you all!2023-03-1243 min

This lovely human has quickly become one of my dearest friends and I am always so inspired by her. I hope you enjoy our banter and giggles!

The lack of self-love and lack of confidence had me really questioning whether I was worthy of being loved, especially existing in a bigger body. This episode I talk about how my healing journey has shown me that I am worthy and that it’s okay to have a crush to bring you some hope and excitement.

As a second waver, it is my purpose to just be on this earth. To heal my inner world which will then ripple out. As we continue to raise the earth's vibration, we will be challenged but finding a support system and healing will help us with our human existence and the course of the planet.
