We often hear about what people gain from Reiki practice but what about what it costs?
In this Questions From a Hat episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, we're turning the conversation in a different direction. Through a series of surprise questions pulled from our hats, we explore the sacrifices, challenges, fears, and unexpected realities that can come with a long-term Reiki practice.
We discuss:
✨ The emotional and mental intensity of spiritual growth
✨ Why some of us still hesitate to say "I'm a Reiki teacher"
✨ Taboo topics in the Reiki community
✨ Leaving conventional careers and questioning stability
✨ Western and Japanese Reiki misconceptions
✨ Identity shifts, uncertainty, and transformation
✨ Whether we'd choose this path all over again
This conversation is honest, vulnerable, reflective, and sprinkled with laughter along the way.
💬 What has your Reiki journey asked of you? We'd love to hear your reflections in the comments.
