What You Need to Know About Reiki and Community

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Do you know what I love most about Reiki? It’s the community! Through this practice, we meet so many incredible people, hear amazing stories, and support each other through the principles of Reiki: love and compassion.

Today you’ll meet one of the friends I’ve made through this journey. Her name is Michaela Daystar, founder of HeartScapes Studio. Michaela and I met years ago in a Reiki class, with our teacher, Frans Stiene.

Drawn to methods that uncover our innate wisdom and creative nature, Michaela designs experiences that help individuals and groups connect more deeply with aspects of their identity and purpose, and that transform the barriers to living into that purpose. She has a particular interest in supporting those who are most directly impacted by the racism, patriarchy, heteronormativity and other forms of oppression at play in our lives. She also teaches a course, Trauma Informed Reiki, to ensure we practice without unintended harm. Michaela holds an MA in Social Justice Leadership from Saint Mary’s College of California, and studied Reiki as a Shinpiden graduate with the International House of Reiki.

Reiki Study and Practice

Happy Thursday, Alchemist~

 Today is a special episode, as I sat down to have a discussion with one of my teachers, Frans Stiene. This feels less like an interview, and more like you getting to sit down with us for a private conversation between a teacher and student. I had the opportunity to ask Frans some of the questions I've had for years!

Frans has been a major influence on global research into the system of Reiki since the early 2000s. His practical understanding of the Japanese influences on the system have allowed students around the world to connect deeply with this practice.

Students naturally respond to Frans' warmth and intelligence. His own personal spiritual Reiki practice offers great encouragement to those on the same path.

Frans is a co-founder of the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association with Bronwen Logan (Stiene). He has also authored The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui.

Free Class and Event to Ignite Your Practices!

Hello, alchemist!

There’s a lot of energy moving and grooving and you’re probably feeling the surge. If you want clarity around current energies, don’t forget to check out the Energy of the Month update…

…but that’s not why I’m really here. I’m here to let you in on a few things to help support clarifying your practice and current direction!

So first, how’s your practice going?

If you need a boost, something to encourage a flow of inspiration, or to reignite your connection to practice, there are some free classes/events that I want to make sure you know about. But before we get to that, I want to share another tip to support you…

Re-sit Your Class!

I just got back from spending four days with my teacher in Los Angeles. I haven’t sat in class since the pandemic, and it was more needed than I realized. The class was a mixture of those of us re-sitting and some practitioners taking Shinpiden (Reiki Master-Level) for the first time.

Why Re-Sit Class?

I have always shared the importance of practicing your practice. During the last few years, most of us found we had to practice alone, which is powerful, but there’s also magic in exchange and within community. This is exactly why I created the Alchemy Circle. We have practiced together consistently, weekly, for the last three years. Not only have we been diligent in practice, but we have grown a lot through our processes of energetic alchemy. And although I love teaching, it’s also important to remain a student.

Both of my teachers live abroad and would only come to California once a year, before COVID. My teacher, Arjava, has no plans of returning anytime soon, but my teacher, Frans, is here now for the first time since 2019. I used to re-sit class with both of my teachers, every year, because you learn more and understand in new ways as you develop and grow within your own practice. While some information seems repetitive, it all sinks in deeper, and again, may be understood from a different lens after you’ve had time to apply and practice.

This time I also realized the benefit of re-sitting because my teacher’s personal growth was evident. He has clearly expanded within his own practice, which allowed him to share with us in new ways. Not only did I experience class differently, but his offerings were a beautiful reminder that we all grow, remaining students no matter what.

The cherry on top: Reiju. If you’re a Reiki practitioner, it’s good for your practice to receive regular attunements, as this supports the connection and deepening awareness of the Great Bright Light that IS.

Then there’s the aspect of community, being able to share and exchange in person. I will continue to provide guidance, teachings and mentoring through the Alchemy Circle, but I’m also excited to teach Reiki again, which is the only class I teach in-person. So, if you ever wanted to study with me, but sure to stay tuned for upcoming emails, as I will be planning and scheduling Shoden, Okuden and Shinpiden.

Free Class and Event!

As most of you know, I have created an oracle deck, The Energetic Alchemist Oracle. There are two masterclasses available, which take you on the journey of understanding what it means to be The Seeker and The Oracle, and how to approach both aspects of you with more clarity. If you want to join me in these classes, register now because Alchemy of the Oracle only has 22 spots available, and some seats have already been filled. But prior to these courses, I am offering a FREE class, Beyond the Veil with the Oracle, on October 30th, 7am PDT / 10am EDT. This is my deep bow of gratitude for each person who has purchased the deck, showing you how to use the cards to understand YOU and your path with more clarity.

And of course, there’s Reiki! I had the pleasure of cohosting this year’s Reiki Rays, Healing Summit. When you register, you get access to FOUR interviews right away, plus you’ll be able to watch the remaining interviews for FREE on the days that they launch. If you want to have access to all interviews and be able to watch them at any time, you can get the early bird pricing, now. Either way, be sure to register so you will have some free access!

Reiki Radio

The podcast is back in full-swing, and it has been amazing to hear what so many practitioners have learned on their paths. Reiki Radio has always been a FREE space to help inform and support practitioners, globally. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platforms, and to my YouTube channel, so that you can watch some of the interviews.

That’s all for now, beauty. Enjoy the freebies and be sure to grab your copy of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, a tool for your path of self-awakening, and I will see you in class on the 30th!

In deep gratitude,

Yolanda
