How Can Intuitive Guidance Enhance My Reiki Practice?

Reiki, a holistic healing practice, focuses on balancing energy and encouraging self-healing. Adding intuitive guidance to Reiki can open new pathways, deepening your understanding and amplifying the healing process.

Understanding Intuitive Guidance in Reiki

Intuitive guidance refers to the inner voice or sense that directs us. In Reiki, it can guide us to focus on specific areas, sense energy shifts, and decide on the best practices for each session. The practice of Reiji-Ho in traditional Reiki exemplifies the beauty of this intuitive approach, where practitioners let their hands be guided by subtle energy currents, ensuring the treatment addresses the recipient's unique needs.

By incorporating intuitive techniques, Reiki practitioners can go beyond standard hand positions, allowing each session to naturally evolve based on the energy patterns present. This individualized approach can lead to profound insights and more meaningful healing experiences for the practitioner and the client. Each session becomes a dance of energies, responding dynamically in the moment.

As practitioners, understanding and honing our intuition can vastly enhance the depth of our Reiki practice. For starters, it involves entering a meditative state where we 'feel' more than 'do.' This naturally opens channels, allowing us to refine our internal energy flow, and by extension, better serve those who come to us seeking healing. The Energy of August 2024 reminds us to align our heart-centered inspiration with our Reiki practices, enhancing intuitive connections.

Benefits of Integrating Intuition

Incorporating intuition allows a more personalized Reiki session, catering to unique needs, fostering deeper connections, and improving the overall healing experience. Intuitive practices are akin to having an energetic conversation, where each touch and presence resonates with what the client's energy most requires at the moment.

Reiki's versatility, when combined with intuitive guidance, can significantly amplify its healing capabilities. This harmonious blend not only enhances the energy exchange between practitioner and client, but it also facilitates a more profound recognition and release of blockages, leading to a heightened sense of well-being. By trusting intuition, practitioners can unlock new dimensions within their own energy flow, enhancing both personal and professional growth.

Developing Your Intuitive Skills

Practicing meditation, mindfulness, and journaling can enhance your intuitive abilities, sharpening your awareness and helping you trust your instincts during sessions. The path to intuition is one of self-exploration and openness. Workshops, such as those offered in The Alchemy Circle, can provide a structured environment for nurturing these skills, offering guided experiences that expand your intuitive scope.

Another strategy is to actively engage in exercises like visualization and energy tracking, which hone your ability to perceive subtle changes in vibration and frequency within yourself and others. This can be likened to learning a new language—one that communicates through vibrations, feelings, and insights. Commitment to this practice will gradually build an innate confidence in your intuitive capabilities.

Applying Intuition in Your Reiki Practice

Learn to listen to your intuition actively during Reiki sessions; let it guide your hands, session flow, and techniques used, ensuring a tailored healing journey. Intuition, once embraced, becomes a trusted companion in navigating the subtleties of energy healing, transforming how you relate to each client's unique energy signature.

A case in point is the story of Eboni Banks, shared through an inspiring conversation available on Reiki Radio Podcast. Her journey in discovering the gift of clairtangency via Reiki serves as a reminder of the incredible capacities intuition can uncover in each of us. Through nurturing these abilities, your Reiki practice can evolve into a powerful platform for healing and discovery, both for yourself and your clients.

Embrace Intuition for a Deeper Healing Experience

By trusting your intuitive guidance, you can enrich your Reiki practice, making it more effective and fulfilling for both you and those you work with. Embracing intuition is about building confidence in the unseen connections that shape our healing journeys. You can explore your own intuitive gifts by registering for Intuitive Mastery, a self-paced, online course.

Alchemy of the Oracle

Once the seeker has accepted the path of awakening, their sensory expands and they become aware of who they are, and have always been, in new ways. You’re here, right? You are finding ways to understand your empathic nature, what it means to be both physical and non-physical. You are starting to experiment with your intuitive recognition, wanting to trust your higher-guidance, as you heal and transform.

You’re now ready to embrace your role as the Oracle; the one who is no longer seeking externally but knows that the path must evolve into understanding your own True Nature.

As such, you realize that harmonizing above and below allows you to become a mediator between the realms.

The gift in your healing and alignment is that you also have an opportunity to support others through the processes from seeking to understanding.

When I was creating this deck, I envisioned a group of students, Oracles, who would be ready to use the cards as coaching tools and to help facilitate group work. I look forward to sharing these teachings with you, guiding you towards your own oracle alignment.

Alchemy of the Seeker

A seeker can roam aimlessly, hoping to find answers to questions not yet asked. Why?

Because as you begin to awaken, you can feel and sense that there’s more beyond what you’ve known or understood.

You begin to wonder if you’re on the right path. You question the meaning of life and there’s a sudden urge to follow new roads, but you don’t have clear direction. You’ll even begin to wonder if those around you can feel or sense the same mysteries of the unknown. If they also feel that there’s more to life than the routines that are becoming uncomfortable and no longer feel aligned or resonant with your heart. The soul is emerging, it has been activated into your conscious awareness: allow yourself to remember beyond the teachings and programing of illusion.

A conscious seeker knows the hidden wisdom is within but is merely trying to find the key to unlock their own inner-knowing. This is where the wisdom of the cards come in, acting as little arrows and clear guides to support you in seeing and knowing beyond your blind-spots.

The cards are tools, teachers, that help you translate the whispers of your higher-mind.

Beyond bias, fear, denial and attachments, you may use the oracle to clarify what IS, so that you may make choices from a space of understanding.

This is a foundational course, teaching you how to read oracle intuitively. Yes, the guidebook will help you understand meanings, but to translate cards accurately, you must learn the art of intuitive reading.

In this course you’ll learn techniques to not only build a deeper relationship with The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, but how to build a beautiful relationship with your intuitive-self.

This Course Includes:

Module One: The Seeker: Anatomy of Questions

Module Two: Intuitive Communication

Module Three: Understanding Language of the Cards

Module Four: Relationship Building for Clarity and Trust

Module Five: Spreads and Storytelling

Module Six: Reading for Self and Others

BONUS Module: Unlocked After Completion of Module Six

Module Seven: Homework Prep and Practice

How Are You Relating to Life?

Hello beautiful, alchemist!

Within the beauty of Libra season, many people begin to analyze and recognize their experience within relationship. While this doesn’t have to be romantically inclined, it does play a part. Even more though, bigger picture, you’re being asked to consider how you’re relating to your life in its entirety.

The scales of balance are upon you.

There are parts of your life that you pour more energy into, hoping to achieve goals and desires. There are things that you prioritize and often stress over, while other areas of life are sorely neglected. You’re aware of the imbalance, and yet you may not know how to reach a state of harmony with all that you have on your plate, on your mind and in your heart.

There’s a common struggle between this and that. How do you accomplish this and that? How can you make time for this and that? How can you have it all…this and that?

One of the first things to consider is the balance of heart and mind; what you think and what you feel. When you’re torn between what you think is right and what you feel is best, the inner tug-of-war can become daunting and keep you in a state of dissatisfaction. How often do you find yourself pulled towards what you “have to do”, versus what you “want to do”, feeling the burden of imbalance?

Again, you’re being invited to consider the weighing of, the balancing of, heart and mind. Can the two coexist in harmony? Absolutely! In fact, when this occurs, you feel in flow! These are the moments when you feel everything is lining up, you’re dancing with synchronicity and excited about the experiences you’re choosing.

Here’s the thing…

These aren’t random occurrences, or don’t have to be. There is a way to manage the balance of heart mind, informing your decision making and how you relate to all areas of life, from your higher lens of understanding.

Unify the analytical and intuitive.

You’re used to functioning from a state of logic, reason…convincing yourself of this or that, despite what you may feel on a deeper level. On the other hand, there are times that you’re so caught up in the feeling of it all, that you throw logic out the window. In either scenario, you may end up feeling doubt, not fully trusting your choices and questioning if you’re doing the “right” thing. Ultimately, you question how you’re relating to and understanding your path. 

Are you on the “right” path?

As I mentioned, you’re very familiar with the analytical aspect of your mind and functionality. Unfortunately, you may not have been taught or encouraged to understand the language and messaging of the intuitive mind, which brings balance and clarity to your scope of vision and understanding. When you come into relationship with your intuitive mind, allowing harmony between the intuitive and analytical, you come into true knowing. You begin to trust your decisions; you understand how you are relating to all aspects of life, and you begin to manage it all with more wisdom!

You question and then desperately seek “right” answers for the sake of ease and grace on your path.

 

Alchemy of the Seeker and Alchemy of the Oracle

I created The Energetic Alchemist Oracle to support you in understanding and clarifying your path. Oracle helps you gain clarity around mind and emotion, simplifying energy around situations and how you’re relating to it all. It illuminates the sacred union between analytical and intuitive, exposing the energy expressed through all aspects of this and that.

So how are you relating to life? There’s an easy way of knowing. Which then supports you in making clearer decisions to support more balance and harmony on your path.

We’ve been through a lot in the last few years, so much of life turned upside down and forcing us into new paths, new decisions and options…emphasizing the need to relate to life in new ways.

 

It’s time to understand what you’re truly seeking and how to trust your way forward, with more confidence!

Right now, say yes, a BIG yes, in your heart, to accepting your way with more joy and clarity, then notice what that feels like.

 

Now say, YES, to creating more harmony and balance in the way you navigate and create your path moving forward.

 

Even say (and feel) and huge, YES, for the opportunity in helping others begin to clarify their own paths and higher potential!

 

There are only twenty-two spots available to join me in Alchemy of the Oracle, where you will learn and experience the gifts of balancing heart and mind. You will learn how to translate your intuitive recognition and how to create sacred relationship between the analytical and higher aspects of your consciousness!

Class begins with the foundational course, Alchemy of the Seeker. We begin during the portal of the Winter Solstice and will have a sacred ceremony of initiation during the Lunar New Year, January 22nd, before officially entering The Alchemy of the Oracle.

 

I’m sharing this invitation with you now to allow time to start building deep connection and relationship with your deck. I will be posting videos to support you in process, leading up to class. You will also receive an Oracle box, including an exclusive oracle cloth, TEA Oracle workbook and a few other surprises! The first ten to sign up (some alchemists already have) will also receive a handmade, wooden card stand, created by a member of our community (it’s beautiful).

 

Feel back into that BIG yes and let’s start the journey of relationship in higher-ways!

With love and excitement,

Yolanda

Navigate the Season, Intuitively

Hello, beautiful alchemist…

Wherever you are in the world, is there any evidence of the shift in season? Living in Southern California, it still feels like summer with cloudless skies and the need for air conditioning in the afternoon. While this is nice, I remember growing up with fall being my favorite time of year because of the changes. Yes, summer breaks were the best, but I was always mesmerized by the gorgeous change of leaves, crisp romantic air and big cozy coats. It felt like an imaginative time, a time to get lost in books, curl up with a blanket and watch my favorite movies. It was a time to settle down after the playfulness of summer, which was more focused on the external world.

No matter the weather, is something in you feeling the shift and welcoming of autumn?

There’s a certain kind of magic with the change of each season, the energy of each season, and what each season mirrors for our personal processes of growth, release and progression. What I love about this particular cycle is that it emphasizes recognition of harvest. We’re invited to acknowledge all that was gained and experienced in the fruitfulness, warmth and illumination of summer, taking stock of what is ripe and nourishing, while also noting what we may be clinging to that would better serve us in letting go.

Balance In All Things…

This is also the season that highlights our need for harmony and the alchemical nature of relationship. The sun is now illuminating the essence of Libra, offering the lessons of you and other as ONE.

  • How are you relating to others, situations and things?

  • How are you navigating relationships, partnerships or collaborations?

  • How are you balancing work, self-care and family?

  • How are you harmonizing mind, body and energy?


The good news is that we have nature, spiritual practices and community to support us. We have been designed to sense, feel and understand expressions of divine intelligence (form and formless) to help guide us through these cycles of transition and change. This is why your relationship to intuition is vital, understanding the dance and unification of intuitive and analytical mind (heaven and earth). When you are clear, receptive and aware of how you (how nature) are moving forward, there’s no need to resist THE WAY forward. It's not always easy, but that’s where our tools come in.

My go-to for clarity has been meditation. The connection to breath and slowing the mind into observation, rather than calculation, brings phenomenal states of peace. From this space, the analytical and intuitive kiss and become other. Consciousness elevates into awareness of all as no-thing. This state of being makes room for inspiration, guidance and knowing. It’s beyond confusion, but as you sink back into decision making mode, the analytical mind resumes its state of opposition with intuition…which often leads to doubt.

How to Establish Trust

Relationship building takes time, patience, willingness and diligence. Just as it takes time to get to know and understand others, it takes time to re-know and understand YOU beyond old stories, patterns and frequencies.

As you come into relationship with spiritual practices, such as Reiki and meditation, you begin establishing a new relationship with you and all. You become more aware of your intuitive and energetic sensory. You begin to have new understanding and insights that you may have never experienced before, so of course the analytical mind jumps in to assess…until it’s properly trained and translation of the intuitive is understood.

The first tool to help me learn the language of my intuitive mind was oracle cards. The images, symbolism, numbers, colors and even key words, bring the intuitive and analytical into co-resonance. Oracle cards help to validate your intuitive knowing, like a non-biased friend. Even more, they allow your intuitive mind to bring your blind spots into clear view.

What have you been considering or questioning lately that you'd LOVE clarity around?

*images by Amy Sage, @amy.sage.reiki

Imagine having a tool, a guide, that can reveal to you what IS from:

  • the lens of your intuitive knowing

  • the lens of your higher mind

  • the frequencies of energetic coding that surround you, your thoughts, emotions and situations


It has been almost three weeks since the launch of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, and I am so thankful for the feedback and responses so far. Each deck is full of symbolism, art and intention that speaks directly to you, beyond any limitations or attachments of lower-mind. I also infuse each deck with Reiki, in connection to you personally, clarifying connection between you and your deck, so that messages may be translated with more clarity and understanding. Because of this, it should be no surprise that many people have shared feeling the energy and deep connection to the cards as soon as they work with them! Again, I’m deeply grateful, as the cards are doing their job!

ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!

I also understand that some of you want to go deeper, learning how to trust your own translations, reading cards beyond the book, and allowing your intuition to weave the stories of the cards together for crystal clear understanding that you know and feel as true.

The offerings of Alchemy of the Seeker and Alchemy of the Oracle are available for enrollment today. This was very intentional, as they are offerings that mirror the essence of the equinox:

  • relationship building (with self, intuition and cards)

  • harmonizing analytical and intuitive as one

  • acknowledging the wisdom of your path and THE WAY forward

  • holding space to cultivate relationship with others, as a clear channel and guide


Alchemy of the Seeker is a foundational course, where Alchemy of the Oracle is more advanced and includes Alchemy of the Seeker. Be sure to order your deck before classes begin!

I look forward to working with you. Cheers to your illumination and clarity!
