When Reiki Meets Intuition: A Near-Death Experience, Healing, and a Journey Back to Love

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.669
Sometimes when we're in a chaotic experience, we can only meet the level of ourselves that we have grown to.

00:00:06.669 --> 00:00:08.789
And he just said to me, is dad coming home?

00:00:08.789 --> 00:00:12.000
And I said, I don't know.

00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:15.539
I'm like, mate, I don't know I can't answer that.

00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:27.074
We can't love others until we fully love ourselves like it gives us with that ability to find that compassion for ourselves and then we have that as a gift we can give to others.

00:00:27.105 --> 00:00:33.435
I remember like a 50-year-old man just humbled by reiki and he was just like, I've never felt loved like that before.

00:00:33.435 --> 00:00:35.924
And he had the whole group of us women all ball on our eyes out.

00:00:35.924 --> 00:00:39.075
You know what I love about Reiki is you can still experience it.

00:00:39.734 --> 00:00:40.844
Even if you're skeptical.

00:00:40.895 --> 00:00:44.494

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.419
This episode is filled with hope, heart, and a reminder of what's possible when we listen to the wisdom within.

00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:28.340
Let's dive in.

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:29.810
Welcome Sarah.

00:02:29.810 --> 00:02:36.289
I'm so honored to have you here as my first guest in season two of Connecting to Spirit.

00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:38.750
Thank you so much for having me here.

00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:41.419
Lisa, it's such a privilege to be sitting here with you today.

00:02:41.569 --> 00:02:42.979
I know there's big energy in the room.

00:02:43.185 --> 00:02:45.675
I just wanna meet this Sarah Doig that's on this paperwork.

00:02:47.324 --> 00:02:48.194
She's pretty impressive.

00:02:48.194 --> 00:02:49.664
Yeah, she sounds amazing.

00:02:50.354 --> 00:02:52.185
That's because she is Oh, thank you.

00:02:52.245 --> 00:02:55.185
You are a gift to the world and to all the people that you serve.

00:02:55.655 --> 00:02:57.574
Let's start right at the beginning, Sarah.

00:02:57.574 --> 00:03:03.514
Can you take us back to a moment when your intuition first nudged due towards learning Reiki?

00:03:04.805 --> 00:03:08.675
I guess my intuition has always been a part of me.

00:03:08.724 --> 00:03:14.384
But it was really amplified at a time when I was a young mum.

00:03:14.435 --> 00:03:29.495
I had two young children at the time, five and three to be precise, and I just remember I was going through all of these emotions that were surfacing and I just did not know what to do with them.

00:03:29.495 --> 00:03:31.324
And there was this.

00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:40.069
Mum who was desperate to find a connection with her children, but there was also this spiritual self that was coming in.

00:03:40.069 --> 00:03:47.060
And at that time I was very, what I look back now and think it was quite chaotic.

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:52.939
It was trying to, understand what's more important.

00:03:52.939 --> 00:04:03.120
And it was like you had spirit leading one way, and then you had the mom that was in, well, she was sitting with all of these big emotions that she couldn't process.

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:16.589
So, at the time I just remember feeling such a yearning to just be present and hang on, I need to stop.

00:04:16.605 --> 00:04:18.209
Not gonna hear the emotion coming down.

00:04:18.214 --> 00:04:18.384
Yeah, I know.

00:04:18.824 --> 00:04:19.425
I it is beautiful.

00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:19.740
Yeah.

00:04:19.745 --> 00:04:21.149
What is it, what is that?

00:04:21.149 --> 00:04:22.800
What's that emotion you're feeling, Sarah?

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:28.180
I don, the emotion I'm feeling is just what it means to be a mum.

00:04:29.670 --> 00:04:35.779
And I do get so emotional about it because it's probably the purpose of why I'm here.

00:04:36.230 --> 00:04:45.560
And one of those, commitments I made in this life is to find love to become a mum and to experience life.

00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:51.040
For me, it was that path, but then there was also the spirit side as well.

00:04:51.370 --> 00:05:13.985
So, going back to that time when I was a mum and I was sitting with all of this energy and all of these stuff was coming up, I just went back to this moment when I was a little girl and I just remember it was like, I remember she looked up at the sky one day and they said, life will be better one day and you'll get there.

00:05:14.464 --> 00:05:16.235
So I always knew that.

00:05:17.069 --> 00:05:18.870
In that moment, I felt something.

00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:26.220
So whenever I felt that with whatever messages or whatever I was guided with, I knew that was an intuition.

00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:28.889
I just knew that it was something greater than you that was there.

00:05:28.949 --> 00:05:29.370
Yeah.

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:29.670
And present.

00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:30.120
Present.

00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:31.680
And I really trusted that.

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:41.000
At the time I remember just to follow that and, funnily enough, I just jumped on the internet and typed in, intuitive healing, I think.

00:05:41.029 --> 00:05:54.699
And then, it just kept coming back to you, Lisa, and, I remember looking at your website and I just, I felt the energy behind, your website and there was so much information on there.

00:05:54.750 --> 00:05:57.329
So that's what caught me the most to connect with you, Lisa.

00:05:57.329 --> 00:06:04.269
I remember when I first made contact with you, I wanted to, well, I rang you and I I think you, you did ring me.

00:06:04.324 --> 00:06:20.004
I remember having a distinctly remember having a conversation where you must have seen the spiritual mentoring as an option on my website, which is usually reserved for people that have done reiki level one, then they've done the practitioner training, then they go to the masters and then they're like, I just wanna become a teacher.

00:06:20.305 --> 00:06:22.225
I wanna learn directly one-on-one.

00:06:22.225 --> 00:06:24.935
And it is, the advanced place where people.

00:06:25.185 --> 00:06:29.444
Kind of get to and from memory you said, I wanna do that.

00:06:29.964 --> 00:06:31.074
And you were like, no, no, no, no.

00:06:31.074 --> 00:06:31.735
We don't do that.

00:06:31.735 --> 00:06:33.204
And I was like, well, why not?

00:06:33.264 --> 00:06:34.824
And we're going to do that.

00:06:34.824 --> 00:06:55.855
I remember the reason I really wanted to do that, and I said we're going to do that, is because I was clearly looking for, at that time how to understand a clear message from spirit, because I was sitting with so much energy and so much stuff that needed to be shifted.

00:06:56.665 --> 00:07:02.245
I remember the messages that were coming through were quite distorted because I didn't know.

00:07:03.625 --> 00:07:07.555
If like, I knew it's that knowing without knowing, you know, it's intuition.

00:07:07.644 --> 00:07:08.004
Mm.

00:07:08.394 --> 00:07:11.875
So, and I just knew I could get that from you.

00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:15.084
So it was like, so I convinced Do hard work.

00:07:15.235 --> 00:07:15.829
You did.

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:20.245
It's, you know, and I think that's exactly what mentorship is about.

00:07:20.245 --> 00:07:21.055
It's one-on-one.

00:07:21.115 --> 00:07:26.064
It allows me to open up all of my skills and resources and meet you where you are at and help you too.

00:07:26.064 --> 00:07:30.264
It kind of fast tracks the process, which is certainly what we experience working together.

00:07:30.384 --> 00:07:30.714
Yeah.

00:07:30.774 --> 00:07:39.634
And then, we did see the value of you going back and doing reiki as a foundational practice to just give you that connection to the energy work.

00:07:39.634 --> 00:07:43.805
Giving you that place that you can come back to where you find that inner stillness.

00:07:44.449 --> 00:07:48.139
And then of course the intuitive side was just a natural progression, isn't it?

00:07:48.139 --> 00:08:01.019
Because it's just like, how do we determine truth from, like you said, when we're getting distorted messages, sometimes when we're in a chaotic, experience, we can only meet the level of ourselves that we have grown to.

00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:08.779
And that inner healing is what helps us to raise our consciousness and to learn more self-love, more self-compassion.

00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.759
Moving beyond the trauma is fear.

00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:14.750
So you're picking up fear-based messages and it can be clouded.

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:15.079
Yeah.

00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.279
And the clarity is important.

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:17.209
It's an important piece.

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:21.920
And everything that I've learned from the amazing teachers that I've met is that.

00:08:22.285 --> 00:08:23.245
Love is the answer.

00:08:23.665 --> 00:08:23.814
Yeah.

00:08:23.865 --> 00:08:28.295
That when we come back and return to love, to me, that is the biggest gift that Reiki gives us.

00:08:28.295 --> 00:08:34.024
It's not just the practical tools and learning, there's that, but it's, it is the returning home to ourself, isn't it?

00:08:34.024 --> 00:08:34.085
Yeah.

00:08:34.085 --> 00:08:48.835
And to that, I think, and I remember this and people can find your reiki testimonial on, on YouTube, by just searching your name, but I remember you saying that the attunement to reiki was how you felt you were loved.

00:08:48.924 --> 00:08:56.615
Can you share a little bit about that feeling and how that then translated to you being more of a loving mother with your kids?

00:08:56.684 --> 00:09:06.404
I remember when I first did the Reiki one workshop and I was still sitting with a lot of stuff that I was, trying to move through.

00:09:06.884 --> 00:09:24.634
And I remember when it came around to do the attunement I'll never forget it actually, it was just, one of the most beautiful experiences of my life where I remember just sitting in a space where I could feel an energy that I've never felt before.

00:09:26.105 --> 00:09:33.875
And in that space I was able to, feel loved and feel nurtured.

00:09:33.904 --> 00:09:39.495
It just opened up this connection to the universe, which is, the source.

00:09:39.524 --> 00:09:50.465
And, it then helped me help the body to, navigate what it was going through and shift it in a, supportive.

00:09:50.764 --> 00:09:52.044
Yeah, it really I don't know.

00:09:52.044 --> 00:09:54.475
It just hard to put into words, isn't it?

00:09:54.475 --> 00:09:55.195
It's a mystery.

00:09:55.195 --> 00:10:03.845
Like we, I quite often say when people like, there's the practical side, the tools that we develop with reiki, but then there's this element of spirituality that is sacred.

00:10:04.235 --> 00:10:06.095
It can't be planned.

00:10:06.424 --> 00:10:16.264
It's when we allow for space that is brought about usually by vulnerability and compassion and love comes in response to a need quite often.

00:10:16.264 --> 00:10:19.735
So, and then, I've had that just, it's just it.

00:10:20.215 --> 00:10:25.735
You can't, it's hard to believe, but I'll have groups that will form and people are dealing with the same issues.

00:10:25.735 --> 00:10:31.884
And then they find this soul friendship group out of the people that have met.

00:10:31.945 --> 00:10:37.414
And some of them have gone on and still friends now, lifetime friends made in those workshops.

00:10:37.414 --> 00:10:55.115
And through that shared vulnerability or just through everyone just wanting to learn, this beautiful modality to be able to have better connections, not only in their own life, but also better, connections with our own internal guidance system, which is the spirit, the soul self source, whatever.

00:10:55.394 --> 00:10:58.565
I call it reiki as well, whatever word.

00:10:58.565 --> 00:10:59.375
There's so many.

00:10:59.615 --> 00:11:00.845
So thank you for sharing that.

00:11:00.875 --> 00:11:07.504
'cause I know it's had a profound, effect in your life, which is amazing in how you loved your children.

00:11:07.955 --> 00:11:20.404
There was a time in your life when you were called upon that healing skill of reiki when your husband had a, would you call it a near death experience?

00:11:20.875 --> 00:11:22.134
Came pretty close to it, didn't he?

00:11:22.495 --> 00:11:36.634
Well, we've had a few conversations about it recently, because there has been a lot of, post-injury, in his bodies that's been coming up and we've been moving through those things together and, helping him, do you mind talking about what actually happened?

00:11:36.725 --> 00:11:42.335
Yeah he was, he had a, quite a bad motorbike experience.

00:11:42.365 --> 00:11:44.934
It was, a Friday evening.

00:11:44.934 --> 00:11:46.404
I remember it clear as day.

00:11:46.504 --> 00:11:54.065
I remember the clothes he was wearing when he left, and the last words I said to him, I was like, what are you doing wearing them socks?

00:11:54.065 --> 00:11:55.205
Like you look ridiculous.

00:11:55.294 --> 00:11:59.375
Like, I just remember he had these white socks on and I was like, oh my God.

00:11:59.375 --> 00:12:01.815
Don't do anything silly with them white socks on.

00:12:01.815 --> 00:12:02.865
'cause that's kind of in bad.

00:12:02.865 --> 00:12:07.929
It just reminded me of that Michael Jackson, you know, I was laughing at him and I was like, black pants and white socks on.

00:12:08.190 --> 00:12:08.649
Oh my God.

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:10.815
Stood like a dog walking, walking out the door.

00:12:11.325 --> 00:12:14.465
And I, yeah, and it was only a couple of hours after that.

00:12:14.804 --> 00:12:27.254
It was early evening and I got a knock on the back door and all I got told in that moment was, he's on the side of the road and.

00:12:27.870 --> 00:12:29.190
Ambulance was on his way.

00:12:29.225 --> 00:12:31.245
And Sam was a police that came to the door?

00:12:31.274 --> 00:12:33.315
No, it was actually a friend of his at the time.

00:12:33.315 --> 00:12:38.595
So, it was quite a disturbing message to receive because my kids were there and they heard it.

00:12:38.625 --> 00:12:43.575
And the moment I turned around and I saw my younger son at the time,

00:12:43.575 --> 00:12:45.394
he just said to me, is dad coming home?

00:12:45.575 --> 00:12:48.815
And I said, I don't know.

00:12:49.894 --> 00:12:51.340
I'm like, mate, I dunno.

00:12:51.394 --> 00:12:52.355
I can't answer that.

00:12:52.804 --> 00:12:56.404
I said, but what you need to do, as I said, you need to go and get a bag.

00:12:56.705 --> 00:13:00.424
You need to pack some clothes, and we just need to get in the car.

00:13:00.485 --> 00:13:02.075
How old was your son at that time?

00:13:02.125 --> 00:13:03.684
So this wasn't long after.

00:13:03.924 --> 00:13:09.504
We, as I was saying, I was trying to shift through all this stuff and navigate being a mom and all the rest of it.

00:13:09.504 --> 00:13:12.894
So this was when they were around five and three.

00:13:13.735 --> 00:13:13.825
Wow.

00:13:13.825 --> 00:13:14.725
So they were so young.

00:13:14.884 --> 00:13:20.825
So he was five years old and he was, yeah, he had, well this is going back, so his accident was in 2021.

00:13:20.875 --> 00:13:34.700
Anyway, and then, so they were just little babies and, I just remember, I don't even know how, oh, my, my eldest son, God bless him, I, he just went into like mode of that fix mode.

00:13:34.725 --> 00:13:35.325
Right.

00:13:35.514 --> 00:13:38.184
And he just started navigating everyone and organizing.

00:13:38.184 --> 00:13:38.965
So, wow.

00:13:38.995 --> 00:13:43.345
Because I just remember going completely outta body and I was just like, okay.

00:13:43.495 --> 00:13:45.654
You'd be in fear and shock, I would imagine.

00:13:45.715 --> 00:13:46.404
Yeah.

00:13:46.409 --> 00:13:46.559
Process.

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.620
and that's something my body does not like the feeling of.

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:56.139
So again, anyway, we're on our way up to the Royal Perth Hospital and I was ringing him frantically because.

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:59.230
I was like, hopefully he's got his phone on.

00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:02.559
'cause I just knew the ambulance people, they pack up their stuff and put it in a bag.

00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.779
And you didn't know what condition he was in at that point?

00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:05.259
No.

00:14:05.649 --> 00:14:05.919
Okay.

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:06.799
But he was alive.

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.340
You knew that?

00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:10.669
Well, not really, because I hadn't even told you that.

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:11.269
No.

00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:14.750
So there was just, he was on the side of the road and the ambulance was on their way.

00:14:14.750 --> 00:14:14.840
Oh my.

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:19.970
So between that time and getting on the way up there, I'm like, anything could have happened, it's a Friday evening.

00:14:20.330 --> 00:14:24.500
Don't know what number he's in the road to get into emergency because, yeah.

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.639
So we're on our way up there and I have had to make the phone call to his mom and just say, he's been in a motorbike accident.

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:45.769
Don't know the extent So on the way up there and then, Austin's mom was there, to meet me and, we, I just remember being in the room, in the, ed room and I asked him, I was like, where is he?

00:14:45.769 --> 00:14:49.009
And they said, oh, he still hasn't been like triaged and that yet.

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.070
Mm.

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:58.259
So, but during that time I did get a phone call from one of the ambulance, drivers, and she, let him speak to me and he was like, I'm okay.

00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.460
Oh, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.299
Bet you that.

00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:06.210
But I knew he wasn't okay because that's just, he just likes to tell a lot of stories that aren't real.

00:15:06.629 --> 00:15:07.919
And I just knew Yeah.

00:15:07.950 --> 00:15:08.580
Didn't believe him.

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:09.240
Yeah.

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:22.570
And then I, so then Austin's mom took the kids, and then I stayed up there, and then I finally got back into the ed department and it was, I didn't recognize him and there was, it was just chaos in there.

00:15:22.570 --> 00:15:27.639
And the lady just gave me a cup with water in it and a sponge.

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.480
And she said, you need to keep him hydrated.

00:15:32.350 --> 00:15:34.360
And I was like, well, can he have a drink?

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.610
And she's like, no, you need to sponge his lips.

00:15:37.509 --> 00:15:41.679
And then I'm thinking, probably helpful giving you something to do in that, in that situation.

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:43.820
Rather than just standing feeling helpless.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.120
And.

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:47.059
Again, I didn't know where he was.

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:51.620
And then all I hear is I'd do anything for a frozen coke to get slapped on my face.

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.259
'cause he was obviously so thirsty and I was like, oh my God,

00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:55.759
I could do so much worse to you right now.

00:15:56.750 --> 00:16:01.460
So then I went over there, but at that time he was in so much pain.

00:16:01.549 --> 00:16:03.049
He, all his clothes are ripped off.

00:16:03.049 --> 00:16:09.240
He's he was strapped down to one of those very thin wooden, it's spinal block.

00:16:09.309 --> 00:16:09.600
Yeah.

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:10.360
Spinal board.

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:19.659
He's, he was in a neck brace and, I said to the ladies, I said, what?

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:20.320
They said, we dunno.

00:16:20.710 --> 00:16:23.370
He said there's, he had some internal bleeding.

00:16:23.370 --> 00:16:31.830
He was pretty cut up and then I just, by that time, then I started going into this victim mode of why me, why is this happening?

00:16:31.929 --> 00:16:36.879
Started making it about me instead of him, and I just didn't know how to deal with it.

00:16:36.929 --> 00:16:39.240
And then I just remember, okay.

00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:41.043
You're so close.

00:16:41.043 --> 00:16:41.283
Yeah.

00:16:42.182 --> 00:16:45.393
So I am, in that moment I was like.

00:16:45.557 --> 00:16:46.802
It's all right.

00:16:47.903 --> 00:16:48.883
I'm just gonna stop letting it out.

00:16:48.982 --> 00:16:49.883
It's just emotions coming up.

00:16:50.173 --> 00:16:55.092
So I grabbed the cup and started sping his lips.

00:16:55.273 --> 00:16:57.493
And in that moment, I just saw my husband.

00:17:00.118 --> 00:17:09.137
I just saw my husband lying there in a place of, so I, there was nothing I could do.

00:17:09.198 --> 00:17:10.488
There was nothing I could do.

00:17:10.538 --> 00:17:14.593
And he was in so much pain and, keeping his lip sponge.

00:17:14.593 --> 00:17:23.337
And I'm like, anyway, so then gave him a couple of kisses on his lips and stuff that had a bit of a cry.

00:17:23.518 --> 00:17:35.357
And then I just, in that connection of just being close to him again and just telling him I loved him and was gonna be okay, then I started, then this little whisper of.

00:17:36.557 --> 00:17:37.728
Wisdom come through.

00:17:37.738 --> 00:17:47.597
And it was yourself, Lisa, and it was going back to those reiki workshop when you shared some of your own personal experiences mm-hmm.

00:17:48.407 --> 00:17:49.367
With your husband.

00:17:49.417 --> 00:17:57.788
And I just said to myself, well, I didn't say to myself, it was like a whisper from, you said, what would you like, what would you do in this moment?

00:17:57.817 --> 00:18:09.117
And I just remember just stepping away from it all and just tapping into that mystical side of spirit and connecting.

00:18:09.508 --> 00:18:15.357
With the reiki and I went, oh, can, let's see how powerful this actually is.

00:18:15.363 --> 00:18:15.653
Mm-hmm.

00:18:17.008 --> 00:18:18.988
So it's like you suddenly get through the trauma.

00:18:18.988 --> 00:18:25.137
I remember this with Hannah's Burns and when Gerald Leukemia, it's almost like you get through all that kind of where you need to just be present.

00:18:25.317 --> 00:18:25.528
Yeah.

00:18:25.528 --> 00:18:27.688
And then all of a sudden it's like, oh yeah, I can do reiki.

00:18:28.048 --> 00:18:29.847
It's like, it hits you like a memory, isn't it?

00:18:29.847 --> 00:18:30.958
Or you just suddenly go.

00:18:31.077 --> 00:18:31.347
Yeah.

00:18:31.347 --> 00:18:32.673
And I think when you, that's right.

00:18:32.788 --> 00:18:40.488
When it's someone you love so much, it's, that's when you go, or you do anything for love, you do anything to do what you got to help, so you step aside.

00:18:40.488 --> 00:18:49.847
And then I was looking at his body and then he's, one of his foot was just hanging out off the bed and I said, what have you done to your foot?

00:18:49.847 --> 00:18:51.917
And he's like, oh, I've broken my ankle again.

00:18:52.397 --> 00:18:59.718
And I just went up and I just started doing reiki on his, on his ankle and his foot, and, just going over his body and just, you know.

00:19:00.313 --> 00:19:06.163
Just happening in and giving him some reiki and then, then he finally had a bed and everything to go to.

00:19:06.163 --> 00:19:07.873
So my time was finished there.

00:19:08.893 --> 00:19:17.472
So anyway, I went home and yeah, went back the next day and then I remember seeing him in the trauma ward.

00:19:17.472 --> 00:19:18.823
He was laying there.

00:19:18.823 --> 00:19:21.702
So beau, he looked so beautiful and so peaceful.

00:19:21.702 --> 00:19:23.593
Maybe because he was quiet for once, I don't know.

00:19:24.373 --> 00:19:26.163
But and then he was all cleaned up.

00:19:26.163 --> 00:19:32.252
And then I remember saying the doctors were there at the time and I said, oh, what's the go with his injuries?

00:19:32.252 --> 00:19:34.022
Have you got any results in that yet?

00:19:34.022 --> 00:19:36.182
And they said, oh, look, he's completely snapped his collarbone.

00:19:36.182 --> 00:19:37.262
He is done this, done that.

00:19:37.262 --> 00:19:39.212
A few fractures in his spine.

00:19:39.212 --> 00:19:41.772
And I said, what about his, what about the foot and ankle?

00:19:41.772 --> 00:19:42.252
And they go.

00:19:43.782 --> 00:19:47.903
Yeah, well on X-rays that came up that it was broken or was fractured or, but that's fine.

00:19:47.903 --> 00:19:51.353
That hasn't, there's nothing on there now we've re x-rayed him or done something.

00:19:51.383 --> 00:19:55.432
'cause I wanted whatever it was, another, oh, whatever it was.

00:19:55.432 --> 00:19:57.722
But, it come through and they're like, no, no, no, he's saying's fine.

00:19:57.722 --> 00:20:01.383
And I was like, okay, that's interesting.

00:20:01.863 --> 00:20:02.042
Mm-hmm.

00:20:02.853 --> 00:20:04.982
So then I just kept that in the back of my mind.

00:20:05.012 --> 00:20:13.623
But then, he did spend eight days in the trauma ward, but again, the mystical side of spirit pops in again.

00:20:13.653 --> 00:20:28.303
And, I was like, what can I do in this situation that can build a connection for all of us to just feel loved, feel present, and just try and, get through out the trauma that was coming up.

00:20:28.303 --> 00:20:42.442
So, because there was so much going backwards and forth, I took the kids outta school and then we went and bought some Lego and I said, we're gonna go up there today and we're going to, do some Lego with dad and took some lunch and everything up there.

00:20:43.083 --> 00:20:49.113
He didn't have a lot of mo so he wasn't walking, he couldn't walk and there was no movement in his arms.

00:20:49.113 --> 00:20:50.972
Like they were getting worse and worse each day.

00:20:51.063 --> 00:20:53.792
So at that time, that's when I went, okay.

00:20:54.603 --> 00:20:58.262
So I was like, what can we do?

00:20:58.262 --> 00:21:09.153
So got the Lego and we went up there and I remember doing the reiki symbols on there and activating reiki on the kids and myself and him and just going through and just, opening up that space.

00:21:09.153 --> 00:21:25.313
And then, we were started building Lego and then the kids like energy had shifted, my energy had shifted and then it become very playful and exciting and it was, you know, and then, I noticed he was starting to be a bit more alert and then he was like.

00:21:26.272 --> 00:21:27.803
Or move over here a bit more kids.

00:21:27.803 --> 00:21:32.542
And he was actually trying, and the more he was trying, the more he could move.

00:21:32.782 --> 00:21:34.522
I was like, oh my God, this is so fascinating.

00:21:34.522 --> 00:21:37.012
Like this is, this is it.

00:21:37.012 --> 00:21:37.613
This is love.

00:21:37.663 --> 00:21:50.827
In the presence of love and the presence of just removing the fear, you tap into this place that it's like the body has a pre, it's the magic for wellness, isn't it?

00:21:50.827 --> 00:21:51.028
Magic.

00:21:51.028 --> 00:22:01.182
It's the miracle of life where through that awareness, you're able to observe everything from so many different levels.

00:22:01.458 --> 00:22:08.268
And then when you tap into that mystical, magical realm, the connection just.

00:22:09.498 --> 00:22:11.208
It's like a trajectory of life.

00:22:11.208 --> 00:22:21.288
Then it's like, you could be going down one path, but then you can just slightly make this little change and connect to spirit and the source, be that vessel.

00:22:21.288 --> 00:22:24.077
And then it's like the trajectory of life shifts.

00:22:24.407 --> 00:22:29.768
And then next minute you're like, oh, okay, so this is all, this is what we want.

00:22:29.768 --> 00:22:31.428
We want, we want him home.

00:22:31.428 --> 00:22:41.587
So it's again, that connection coming back to love and it comes back to reiki and it's just in that moment, I could be a mom, I could be a wife, I could be me.

00:22:41.778 --> 00:22:43.936
And just saw something shift.

00:22:44.507 --> 00:22:46.186
And it was from that moment.

00:22:46.846 --> 00:22:49.457
I went anything in life's possible.

00:22:49.886 --> 00:22:50.936
What was the shift?

00:22:50.936 --> 00:22:51.596
What happened?

00:22:51.596 --> 00:22:53.037
Was it a belief, was it a love?

00:22:53.186 --> 00:23:03.176
Because I just knew that, through those des that desperation of wanting to feel loved and to move through those things that I was trying to move through.

00:23:03.567 --> 00:23:05.037
You realize you already were loved.

00:23:05.787 --> 00:23:06.326
Yeah.

00:23:06.326 --> 00:23:21.537
And I just needed spirit to hold space for me to actually go through the reiki experience, and I never knew anything about Reiki at the time, but, I guess that's why intuition, led me to intuitive Reiki with you, Lisa.

00:23:21.537 --> 00:23:33.426
And it's from that, it's just opened up so many more doorways of existing here, like just to the omnipresence of everything.

00:23:33.547 --> 00:23:35.196
here's just the foundation of everything.

00:23:35.287 --> 00:23:37.957
And it's like we're all, Reiki reminds us of love, doesn't it?

00:23:37.961 --> 00:23:41.436
Oh, it brings us back to that space of love.

00:23:41.436 --> 00:23:46.396
And then when we connect with it, it's once you've experienced it, it's hard to go through life of sleep.

00:23:46.396 --> 00:23:53.317
Like I I feel like before I found Reiki, tell me if it's similar for you, but it was almost like I was asleep walking.

00:23:53.886 --> 00:23:57.727
And reiki was an awakening where everything looked better.

00:23:57.727 --> 00:23:58.176
Everything.

00:23:58.176 --> 00:23:59.856
It's like an activation again.

00:23:59.856 --> 00:24:01.207
It's an activation.

00:24:01.207 --> 00:24:07.366
There's, and also I think when we go through these traumatic life experiences, it does humble us.

00:24:07.366 --> 00:24:08.987
It brings us to our knees, doesn't it?

00:24:09.037 --> 00:24:09.787
In those.

00:24:10.116 --> 00:24:12.517
Painful moments.

00:24:12.547 --> 00:24:13.777
We are touched by love.

00:24:13.807 --> 00:24:21.606
Love, I know I've shared it, in workshops and in my book about, that moment of seeing the vulnerability, my husband just ran a marathon and I was there again with him.

00:24:21.606 --> 00:24:28.926
We had this most beautiful lunch where he was talking about how hard it was for him to get through that last 10 Ks.

00:24:28.926 --> 00:24:29.247
It's oh, wow.

00:24:29.247 --> 00:24:30.686
It's, 30 Ks.

00:24:30.686 --> 00:24:32.277
He was rocking it and loving it.

00:24:32.277 --> 00:24:47.267
As soon as he hit that 30 K mark, it just became a struggle and he had to find something within, in order to push through that pain and to find, and he sat at opposite me, and I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this, but he just said, I did it.

00:24:47.747 --> 00:24:51.047
Like I found that place within.

00:24:51.047 --> 00:24:54.527
And I think, Sarah, that's exactly what Reiki has gifted you.

00:24:54.576 --> 00:24:54.787
With.

00:24:55.237 --> 00:25:00.156
We can't love others until we fully love ourselves like it gives us with that ability to.

00:25:00.906 --> 00:25:06.307
Find that compassion for ourselves, and then we have that as a gift we can give to others.

00:25:06.307 --> 00:25:14.826
We see the world through a bit more of a lens of, a lighter lens, where we see love in all places.

00:25:14.826 --> 00:25:17.186
And, it shifts our perceptions.

00:25:17.186 --> 00:25:18.537
It shifts our life.

00:25:18.626 --> 00:25:23.876
It certainly is, a catalyst for going, oh my God, like I want to learn more.

00:25:24.446 --> 00:25:25.527
That was what happened for me.

00:25:25.557 --> 00:25:33.626
It was like a flame was lit in my heart and I just knew I wanna learn everything I can about this mystery, Absolutely.

00:25:33.626 --> 00:25:45.836
And I think the greatest takeaway from Reiki is to be human and to enjoy the human side of things and to be like of co everyone wants to feel love.

00:25:45.836 --> 00:25:47.487
Everyone's oh, there's such a belief system.

00:25:47.487 --> 00:25:51.446
You go to school, you go to work, you find love, and then you have a family.

00:25:51.596 --> 00:25:55.527
And so half of the time we're like, well, I've done all of that, but why don't I feel it?

00:25:55.527 --> 00:25:56.517
Why am I still unhappy?

00:25:56.856 --> 00:25:57.457
Yeah.

00:25:57.787 --> 00:25:58.987
Because I've done everything.

00:25:59.017 --> 00:25:59.346
Yeah.

00:25:59.747 --> 00:26:01.307
That's more in the materialistic world.

00:26:01.307 --> 00:26:06.166
We've chased all the external sources of love, but we've never been brought to the internal.

00:26:06.557 --> 00:26:07.096
That's right.

00:26:07.096 --> 00:26:07.906
Source of love.

00:26:07.906 --> 00:26:13.126
And'cause we've been disconnected from source and there's this huge movement that's happening now.

00:26:13.126 --> 00:26:19.416
And I think, if we wanna connect and what they say, we've all got access to, well we do all have access to it.

00:26:19.416 --> 00:26:29.227
But you, it's what comes with reiki that teaches you the values and it's the principles through those teachings.

00:26:30.501 --> 00:26:46.761
It's like you understand what awareness is, you understand what it's like to be in that present moment to observe what is happening in that moment, to understand what the connection is with everything outside yourself.

00:26:46.811 --> 00:26:47.951
It's palpable, isn't it?

00:26:47.951 --> 00:26:48.967
Those moments?

00:26:48.967 --> 00:26:50.199
Human behavior, those moments of connection.

00:26:50.199 --> 00:26:50.979
Yeah.

00:26:51.028 --> 00:27:02.128
It just gives you an opportunity within yourself to tap in the best version of yourself when you go, I don't wanna do anything because I feel like I have to.

00:27:02.578 --> 00:27:06.348
It's what can I do to help someone?

00:27:06.348 --> 00:27:11.058
Or what is it that would change someone else's life?

00:27:11.058 --> 00:27:14.778
And it's just that little shift where you can go, how do I be of service or something.

00:27:15.163 --> 00:27:16.453
But it's not giving.

00:27:16.858 --> 00:27:20.338
So much of yourself away, you start learning respect for yourself.

00:27:20.338 --> 00:27:27.058
You start honoring yourself and it's honoring yourself, not in it's all about me and things like that.

00:27:27.058 --> 00:27:34.888
It's about honoring from a level of respect.

00:27:34.943 --> 00:27:57.298
And having, clarity to say, having clarity within your mind and heart to say no, or to say yes, or to keep pushing through those times when it is hard, it's, to know whether it's, I think a lot of growth and change happens in that space of discomfort, but we've gotta work out.

00:27:57.688 --> 00:28:03.448
I think we need to find ourselves, we need to know who we are to be able to have discernment as to what it is.

00:28:03.778 --> 00:28:04.708
Like if we just.

00:28:05.097 --> 00:28:05.998
Do the right thing.

00:28:05.998 --> 00:28:07.407
That's what Reiki teaches us.

00:28:07.458 --> 00:28:10.847
To follow the principles is just for today it's about mindfulness.

00:28:10.847 --> 00:28:13.397
It's about connecting in the now moment, being present.

00:28:13.847 --> 00:28:13.907
Yeah.

00:28:13.907 --> 00:28:17.597
Bringing our presence to those whom we are meeting and connecting with.

00:28:18.087 --> 00:28:26.847
If we have that inner awareness of who we are, we have that level of self-acceptance, which is self-love, self-acceptance.

00:28:27.268 --> 00:28:43.278
Then what happens, and this is personally what I've experienced, is that when chaos comes from the outside world, there's a level of resilience there that I think, wouldn't have been there without the challenges that kind of brought me to my knees and brought me to that place of surrender Where we literally let go.

00:28:43.307 --> 00:28:45.538
And I've had a couple of profound moments.

00:28:45.538 --> 00:28:46.948
There's something I want to touch on mm-hmm.

00:28:47.188 --> 00:28:52.383
That you mentioned, which is firstly I wanna check, I'm sure the listeners wanna know how Austin's doing now.

00:28:52.383 --> 00:28:53.432
So just fast track.

00:28:53.432 --> 00:28:55.413
'cause we've left them in, well, I haven't murdered him yet.

00:28:55.682 --> 00:28:58.563
And I said to him, when you're up and walking, that's when I'm gonna murder you.

00:28:58.573 --> 00:29:00.403
He, how did the accident actually happen as well?

00:29:00.403 --> 00:29:08.113
Because, so he was just on the highway and he's gone to overtake and then, the car in front of him has just slammed on the brakes.

00:29:08.113 --> 00:29:12.863
And then obviously when he was overtaking and sped up, then he's hit the back of it.

00:29:12.863 --> 00:29:15.502
So then, oh, so like a direct collision.

00:29:15.502 --> 00:29:21.982
He went flying in the air and, he spare us the details, but just, yeah.

00:29:22.323 --> 00:29:25.633
So high speed and it was very Yeah, it was, that's horrific.

00:29:25.663 --> 00:29:26.083
Yeah.

00:29:26.083 --> 00:29:28.722
And he just remembers just flying through the air and he.

00:29:29.548 --> 00:29:32.998
Said like he just remembers coming out of his body.

00:29:32.998 --> 00:29:34.722
And that is a near death experience, isn, isn't it?

00:29:34.962 --> 00:29:35.123
Absolutely.

00:29:35.173 --> 00:29:57.813
'Cause in that moment when he's, and it's always stood with me and I ask him now, and he goes, I don't remember the accident, but I just remember there was a period of time, not long after it, he would always say, he just remembers going through the air and just going, okay, and then just his bo like, it's like his spirit said to him, right, this is what you're gonna do.

00:29:57.813 --> 00:30:00.063
And then he just went with it when he hit the ground.

00:30:00.063 --> 00:30:01.532
So he didn't resist.

00:30:01.653 --> 00:30:01.863
Okay.

00:30:01.923 --> 00:30:06.512
There was, so there was in that itself, there was, there was guidance or, yeah.

00:30:06.603 --> 00:30:07.532
Something greater.

00:30:07.653 --> 00:30:12.313
And then when he came back into his body, he said he just went and did the, you know, the pain.

00:30:12.313 --> 00:30:13.423
He was just fortunate.

00:30:13.423 --> 00:30:16.893
There was a nurse on the, on the highway and she pulled over.

00:30:16.893 --> 00:30:16.982
What?

00:30:16.982 --> 00:30:17.192
Yeah.

00:30:17.192 --> 00:30:23.133
So you can't make this stuff up, so he was just, he had a nurse there with him at the time, so Wow.

00:30:23.192 --> 00:30:23.857
Yeah, that would've been that.

00:30:23.857 --> 00:30:24.258
And that's.

00:30:24.603 --> 00:30:25.202
That's all.

00:30:25.323 --> 00:30:26.863
Imagine if I, that's beautiful.

00:30:26.863 --> 00:30:27.702
I love that.

00:30:27.702 --> 00:30:27.703
Yeah.

00:30:27.709 --> 00:30:32.068
If you couldn't be there, the universe put someone in a spot to help.

00:30:32.979 --> 00:30:33.669
That's amazing.

00:30:33.699 --> 00:30:48.509
I've been teaching reiki for many years now, and there's one thing that I certainly wrestle with myself and I'm wondering if you've experienced the same thing, we quite often get this thrill from learning reiki and tapping into, I call it the grace or that spiritual aspect.

00:30:48.628 --> 00:30:55.648
And it's almost like it could become alluring to kind of spend so much time reading and devouring as much information as you can.

00:30:55.648 --> 00:31:04.278
And then all of a sudden we get outta balance and we become like, almost desperately seeking this pure way of living life.

00:31:05.659 --> 00:31:14.219
And then, and then it can almost be, a challenge with, coming back into the physical reality, like almost, for me it was a not accepting.

00:31:14.834 --> 00:31:15.824
The human aspect.

00:31:15.824 --> 00:31:23.233
And you mentioned something about your spirituality brought you back around to a full appreciation of being a mom and being human and being in the messy moments.

00:31:23.384 --> 00:31:28.064
And I'd love to touch upon that because it really is challenging.

00:31:28.334 --> 00:31:32.653
And I, when I saw a psychologist for a while, she'd say to me, I don't, Lisa, you are a little human.

00:31:32.653 --> 00:31:37.483
Like we're all, and it was almost this bringing me back to relax.

00:31:37.544 --> 00:31:46.334
Especially when you start teaching, and I know you're on this path of teaching others as well, it becomes like we have to remind ourself it's okay to be human.

00:31:46.334 --> 00:31:51.203
It's okay to fuck up and, swear and, make mistakes.

00:31:51.253 --> 00:31:57.114
What I've found is that the more vulnerable we are, the more we actually, bring others in.

00:31:57.203 --> 00:32:03.443
'cause then they're like, oh, well she can be that amazing, but she's also a hot mess like me.

00:32:03.443 --> 00:32:05.483
And, and then we find connection.

00:32:06.153 --> 00:32:06.784
Absolutely.

00:32:06.784 --> 00:32:06.844
Yeah.

00:32:06.844 --> 00:32:08.074
I'd love to know your take on.

00:32:08.074 --> 00:32:12.634
Well, that's what I saw in you, Lisa, and I saw that in the website.

00:32:12.634 --> 00:32:12.784
Messy.

00:32:12.933 --> 00:32:15.153
No, no, not the messy, no, no.

00:32:15.663 --> 00:32:23.074
It was when I connected through your website and through intuition, yeah, through that chaos and, and spirit.

00:32:23.433 --> 00:32:30.523
It led me to the energy that I was looking for that, that bridge.

00:32:30.523 --> 00:32:36.124
So, and that's what I saw in you and, on your website it was, and I've always said this about you, Lisa.

00:32:36.124 --> 00:32:41.044
You've got the business side and then you've got the intuitive reiki.

00:32:41.134 --> 00:32:42.993
And I had never seen that before.

00:32:42.993 --> 00:32:47.253
So to me, I was visualizing it and feeling it.

00:32:47.253 --> 00:32:51.304
So I was like, this is the real deal because there is such a belief system.

00:32:51.763 --> 00:32:53.144
Society has.

00:32:53.548 --> 00:33:02.269
On, reiki or spirituality and all of these things where you have to look a certain way or you have to be, do this and that.

00:33:02.269 --> 00:33:03.648
It has to be all love and light.

00:33:03.648 --> 00:33:06.769
It has to be as that's called spiritual bypassing, isn't it?

00:33:06.769 --> 00:33:07.128
Exactly.

00:33:07.128 --> 00:33:09.679
Where we get frustrated'cause like, oh, I'll just be real.

00:33:09.679 --> 00:33:10.263
Like, yeah.

00:33:10.699 --> 00:33:13.304
You know, we, yeah, I think it's important.

00:33:13.304 --> 00:33:27.979
So it was so in that realness, and then when, when I did the workshops with Youa, I seen all of that and I was like, oh my God, this is like, this is perfect because there's no bullshit.

00:33:27.979 --> 00:33:28.699
There's no nothing.

00:33:28.699 --> 00:33:36.439
It was just, it was different because, we can booking to these places and then we can just all, it's just, anyway.

00:33:37.679 --> 00:33:42.028
But in saying that, I really had to.

00:33:42.538 --> 00:33:55.979
To truly walk the path that you wanna walk with the reiki, you have to be aware of what your intentions are before the reiki, because the reiki is the key, it's the source.

00:33:56.038 --> 00:34:04.138
So if you are wanting to do reiki my intentions were one to get true through the spirituality world.

00:34:04.138 --> 00:34:04.259
Mm-hmm.

00:34:04.618 --> 00:34:09.509
And the number one was to be a mom.

00:34:10.168 --> 00:34:12.929
So my intentions were to feel loved.

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:14.128
Well, I got that.

00:34:14.309 --> 00:34:14.639
Yeah.

00:34:14.938 --> 00:34:17.228
And then there, there was quite a journey.

00:34:17.228 --> 00:34:20.949
It's been five years since I did the first one to completing my masters.

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:28.478
Where I found myself just way too connected to spirit and then I was not doing.

00:34:28.869 --> 00:34:30.518
I was in burnout, not doing the dishes.

00:34:30.918 --> 00:34:34.829
But just, tapped into a reality that does not really exist in that moment.

00:34:34.858 --> 00:34:34.918
Yeah.

00:34:34.949 --> 00:34:41.128
So therefore I was just, again, and I was going, then I'd have to say, right, I'm not doing this.

00:34:41.128 --> 00:34:42.298
I just wanna be a mom.

00:34:42.298 --> 00:34:43.588
And I'd always go back to that.

00:34:43.588 --> 00:34:44.789
I just wanna be a mom.

00:34:44.789 --> 00:34:47.969
I, this is, this is what that ground, would that be it grounded?

00:34:47.969 --> 00:34:48.628
You got that?

00:34:48.748 --> 00:34:49.168
Yeah.

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:49.648
Yeah.

00:34:50.248 --> 00:34:51.684
How kids can ground us, can't they?

00:34:51.684 --> 00:35:01.018
When we Absolutely, when we spend too much time with our head in the clouds or in our spiritual processes, it's like life will come, chaos will come, it can destroy you as well.

00:35:01.018 --> 00:35:02.998
It can take away the best parts of you.

00:35:02.998 --> 00:35:08.168
And then it can also be, it's not right for your kids to be seeing you in that kind of, way either.

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.568
Because then they're like, oh, why is she so obsessed with it?

00:35:10.568 --> 00:35:12.818
But I'm not saying that's what reiki does.

00:35:12.818 --> 00:35:21.168
What I'm saying is there is a path that comes with reiki and what it teaches you is to be present and to and if you honor.

00:35:21.483 --> 00:35:31.514
Yeah, the principles and the values and the teaching and the wisdom, it's quite, you put into really, then you put those steps into place and you walk that path.

00:35:31.514 --> 00:35:51.943
And then it's like you can be, and one thing I'll always say, there's always a, difference between a spaghetti bolognese that's just being thrown together in a thing of anger or just in, not in a, some food made with love, but when you present time food with love and then there's something sitting there with your children, they're like, oh my God, this is the best spaghetti oven.

00:35:51.943 --> 00:35:53.804
And it's yeah, because I'd made it with love.

00:35:53.809 --> 00:35:53.878
Yeah.

00:35:54.344 --> 00:35:55.393
And you notice the difference.

00:35:55.393 --> 00:35:59.623
So when you start doing those little things, that's when you go, oh, this is what it means.

00:35:59.713 --> 00:35:59.804
Mm-hmm.

00:35:59.864 --> 00:36:02.224
So, but so many different layers, isn't it?

00:36:02.224 --> 00:36:04.443
There's so many different layers and that's just one.

00:36:04.773 --> 00:36:22.773
But, it's not until you truly walk the path and complete the journey of the three stages of the reiki path that's when things change and the masters really are coming full circle.

00:36:22.773 --> 00:36:27.003
I think Reiki one is about self, it's about healing yourself.

00:36:27.003 --> 00:36:28.574
It's about, finding out who you are.

00:36:28.574 --> 00:36:32.773
Coming back within Reiki two is then about, oh, I've got this amazing skill.

00:36:32.773 --> 00:36:33.974
How can I help others?

00:36:34.003 --> 00:36:38.213
While you're still helping and developing your own level of, consciousness.

00:36:38.213 --> 00:36:44.474
We are developing that, internal reference point where we're starting to see and think through this, the eyes of source and love.

00:36:44.773 --> 00:36:44.833
Yeah.

00:36:44.893 --> 00:36:46.603
So that starts to turning point, develop.

00:36:46.603 --> 00:36:50.474
It is a beautiful turning point and mastery is about it.

00:36:50.603 --> 00:36:51.713
It's always there.

00:36:51.713 --> 00:36:53.483
It's like we don't step in and out of reiki.

00:36:53.483 --> 00:36:54.293
We are reiki.

00:36:54.293 --> 00:37:04.793
We become connected back to that whole sense of all that is and recognizing that we always were it, we just didn't know that depth was always there.

00:37:04.793 --> 00:37:05.213
We just.

00:37:05.514 --> 00:37:07.043
Had lost connection to it.

00:37:07.043 --> 00:37:10.793
And I think Reiki returns us back to that place of home.

00:37:10.793 --> 00:37:11.423
And what is home?

00:37:11.423 --> 00:37:12.713
Home is safety.

00:37:13.074 --> 00:37:16.804
Home is security, home is, where we can be ourselves.

00:37:16.804 --> 00:37:17.974
It's where we are liberated.

00:37:17.974 --> 00:37:19.713
It's where we don't have to put on the masks.

00:37:19.713 --> 00:37:22.543
It sometimes a world, invokes from us.

00:37:22.543 --> 00:37:22.603
Yeah.

00:37:22.603 --> 00:37:24.253
Where we play the roles and play the parts.

00:37:24.253 --> 00:37:29.173
It's almost like Reiki doesn't ask anything of us, but just presence.

00:37:29.293 --> 00:37:42.974
And it brings us back to the simplicity and to be in a room, and I know you've experienced this as a reiki master now, to be able to pass that gift onto someone and watch their awakening like before your eyes.

00:37:43.393 --> 00:37:49.724
I remember like a 50-year-old man just humbled by reiki and he was just like, I've never felt loved like that before.

00:37:49.724 --> 00:37:52.213
And he had the whole group of us women all balling our eyes out.

00:37:52.244 --> 00:37:54.943
cause it was just so, and he's like, where have you been in my whole life?

00:37:54.943 --> 00:37:57.164
And this was a man that gave a lot of love to others.

00:37:57.173 --> 00:38:11.833
And that kind of story is just one of many, to be witnessing that and know that you play a part in passing that torch from master to student as it's been passed down to me from my master whereas before, there's this beautiful lineage of connection and love that's at the core of it.

00:38:11.833 --> 00:38:13.873
Vibration, love, connection, touch.

00:38:14.143 --> 00:38:14.293
Mm-hmm.

00:38:14.353 --> 00:38:25.164
And you talked about a movement earlier, and I just think with the, with ai, with everything going online and reiki can be taught as a hybrid, now it's online and it's in person.

00:38:25.164 --> 00:38:26.483
It has a combination of both.

00:38:26.483 --> 00:38:28.824
A touch point with a master'cause it's important.

00:38:28.884 --> 00:38:29.153
Mm-hmm.

00:38:29.244 --> 00:38:37.103
The, a achievement's always done, with my masters, with me, it's, we need to come back to human, to human connection.

00:38:37.224 --> 00:38:37.853
Absolutely.

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:38.798
Absolutely.

00:38:38.798 --> 00:38:39.594
There's nothing more important.

00:38:39.594 --> 00:38:50.704
And to me, it's also the spiritual aspect, the intuitive side, allows us to bring profound connection and love to not only ourself, but to others.

00:38:51.273 --> 00:38:52.293
I've got a question for you.

00:38:52.293 --> 00:39:03.664
What would you say to someone listening right now, Sarah, who feels disconnected from their intuition or stuck in self-doubt or just in that place where they were in that chaotic mind?

00:39:03.733 --> 00:39:07.903
What would you say to someone listening right now that might be feeling exactly how you felt before?

00:39:09.523 --> 00:39:25.844
I think it's safe to say that we all know in a moment of closing your eyes and just shutting everything out, there is a place inside your heart that knows you're worthy.

00:39:27.014 --> 00:39:27.974
We all know that.

00:39:27.974 --> 00:39:39.313
We all have that feeling, but when we're open with our eyes, we are just scared because we see a lot of things outside ourselves that we think.

00:39:40.693 --> 00:39:46.844
Who am I is stopping us from doing that, whether it's family, whether it's beliefs.

00:39:47.023 --> 00:39:47.264
Yeah.

00:39:47.324 --> 00:39:51.884
Whether it's our job, whether it's finances, whatever.

00:39:53.264 --> 00:39:54.284
So they're scared.

00:39:54.384 --> 00:39:55.403
They're, yeah.

00:39:55.403 --> 00:39:55.889
And they're scared.

00:39:56.063 --> 00:39:57.923
They're feeling confused.

00:39:57.923 --> 00:39:58.943
They dunno what to do.

00:39:59.003 --> 00:40:00.233
What's your message to them?

00:40:02.153 --> 00:40:05.364
There is someone out there that will hold space for you.

00:40:05.423 --> 00:40:20.934
And when you are in that place of doubt, fear, and loneliness, and you're scared, there's a lot of people out there that actually do lie awake at night thinking of people like that, that don't want you to feel like that.

00:40:22.043 --> 00:40:29.724
And it's okay to feel like that, but it's also okay to say, I'm worthy.

00:40:29.753 --> 00:40:32.943
And, you get one shot at life.

00:40:33.409 --> 00:40:35.088
How beautiful will it be?

00:40:35.409 --> 00:40:51.849
Whether you are 20, whether you are 30, whether you are 80 years old, you might wanna just experience something you experience, love, experience, a feeling that you know, you can, why wouldn't you want, why wouldn't you wanna feel that?

00:40:51.998 --> 00:40:53.199
Got nothing to lose, have you?

00:40:53.313 --> 00:40:54.458
Like, it's just an experience you game.

00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:57.068
It's, and we all want it.

00:40:57.068 --> 00:40:57.248
And

00:40:57.248 --> 00:41:03.873
do you know what I love about Reiki is you can still experience it even if you're skeptical, even if you think it's a load of shit,

00:41:04.094 --> 00:41:04.994
you could be a mechanic.

00:41:05.494 --> 00:41:06.114
It works anyway.

00:41:06.114 --> 00:41:10.358
You could be a mechanic, you could be a butcher, you could be a hairdresser, you could be whatever, doesn't matter.

00:41:10.478 --> 00:41:12.039
It crosses ages.

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.579
It crosses, it's simple to learn, it's easy to experience.

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:21.009
And it's the sacred mystery that is a part of our, a part of our birthright.

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:21.548
Oh, absolutely.

00:41:21.668 --> 00:41:22.719
We don't need to earn it.

00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:29.048
It's not like the traditional schooling system that is about worthiness and pitting each other off each other.

00:41:29.048 --> 00:41:32.318
It's just all you need is to have the desire to learn.

00:41:32.318 --> 00:41:32.708
That's it.

00:41:32.713 --> 00:41:32.983
Yeah.

00:41:33.034 --> 00:41:37.844
You just gotta wanna learn and it'll find you, it helps you live life.

00:41:37.963 --> 00:41:39.494
Oh yeah, absolutely.

00:41:40.469 --> 00:41:41.188
Absolutely.

00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:43.708
And the ripple effect that comes from it too.

00:41:43.759 --> 00:41:53.179
it's like when you become attuned and you do rake it, it's like you are then being that vessel too, for your household.

00:41:53.389 --> 00:41:53.958
Oh my gosh.

00:41:54.498 --> 00:42:06.568
Even if you do it just for that alone for yourself healing for your family and friends, they then it's opens up a doorway for your children to feel safe in a moment of chaos and be like, they step into that because then you've.

00:42:07.318 --> 00:42:13.257
It's like I gave my back my, I found reiki before I met my husband, before I had my children.

00:42:13.257 --> 00:42:14.518
I've got Reiki babies.

00:42:14.518 --> 00:42:18.478
I literally reikied them in my womb and now they're 18 and driving.

00:42:18.478 --> 00:42:22.478
And I remember the nights I laid there in bed, just helping them to get to sleep.

00:42:22.478 --> 00:42:27.668
And I just have my hand on their back just giving them reiki and just holding it just gives us something.

00:42:27.668 --> 00:42:36.947
And I, Sarah and I were talking earlier about the fact that I might have a ADHD and the kids certainly think I do and my husband and it allows us this tool to settle.

00:42:36.947 --> 00:42:41.568
It just brings us into this instant grounded Oh, absolutely.

00:42:41.568 --> 00:42:41.927
Isn't it?

00:42:41.927 --> 00:42:45.438
It just is peace and we don't have to earn it.

00:42:45.797 --> 00:42:47.358
You just literally tap into it.

00:42:47.358 --> 00:42:52.027
But I think the process and the signing up to the workshop, it actually.

00:42:52.677 --> 00:42:56.188
It is the key to unlocking the memory of it.

00:42:56.347 --> 00:42:58.057
Because we've forgotten how to tap into that.

00:42:58.057 --> 00:42:59.978
It unlocks whatever it is.

00:43:00.007 --> 00:43:00.277
Yeah.

00:43:00.338 --> 00:43:01.777
You are wanting to unlock.

00:43:01.893 --> 00:43:02.182
Yeah.

00:43:02.393 --> 00:43:04.088
At whatever, however that looks.

00:43:04.427 --> 00:43:05.152
And it grows with us.

00:43:05.213 --> 00:43:05.753
That's what I've found.

00:43:05.753 --> 00:43:06.322
Absolutely.

00:43:06.322 --> 00:43:09.112
The more I've developed, the more spirituality there is to learn.

00:43:09.112 --> 00:43:16.222
It started with energy and then moved into mediumship and connecting to spirit and now to trans channeling.

00:43:16.222 --> 00:43:18.382
So it just has, it evolves, doesn't it?

00:43:18.652 --> 00:43:23.032
And then also accepting the human aspect and stopped trying to be so God enlightened.

00:43:24.262 --> 00:43:24.922
Oh, absolutely.

00:43:24.922 --> 00:43:25.068
Oh my God.

00:43:25.193 --> 00:43:31.762
The minute I stopped try, especially living up to all the amazing things my students were saying about me, it was a little bit humbling.

00:43:31.762 --> 00:43:33.773
'cause at times I felt like a hot mess.

00:43:33.773 --> 00:43:37.123
And it's like confronting when people say really nice things about you, you're just Ugh.

00:43:37.583 --> 00:43:40.418
It is, it's just allowing all of it to be Yeah.

00:43:40.478 --> 00:43:42.427
This beautiful tapestry of life.

00:43:42.867 --> 00:43:49.318
If you could go back in time, Sarah, and whisper a message to your past self before starting this journey, what would it be?

00:43:53.728 --> 00:44:03.677
God, I feel like I did that as what, I'm not saying this is everyone, but just from my own experience, it's like I've always done things backwards.

00:44:03.677 --> 00:44:08.038
I've always been, start at the end, and then work my way back down to the beginning.

00:44:08.038 --> 00:44:08.907
Do you read the end?

00:44:08.907 --> 00:44:12.297
Do you read the last chapter of a book and go back to see what happens?

00:44:13.168 --> 00:44:14.818
I just do things backwards.

00:44:16.027 --> 00:44:26.347
I've, through my experience, I've always, it's like I've had the ability to see beyond I.

00:44:27.038 --> 00:44:28.297
What is happening now.

00:44:28.297 --> 00:44:38.438
And I knew, I just remembered, like I said, going back to that little girl and just of knowing that it was gonna be okay and life was gonna change.

00:44:38.478 --> 00:44:44.748
I so what would you say to that little girl right now from the perspective you have now?

00:44:45.047 --> 00:44:46.398
You just have to trust.

00:44:46.967 --> 00:44:47.117
Yeah.

00:44:47.838 --> 00:44:48.347
Beautiful.

00:44:48.527 --> 00:44:50.657
Believe in what?

00:44:51.347 --> 00:44:52.132
Trust in what?

00:44:52.132 --> 00:44:52.398
In yourself.

00:44:53.327 --> 00:44:57.498
Oh, there, it's trust in what you feel.

00:44:58.248 --> 00:44:58.458
Yeah.

00:44:58.487 --> 00:45:05.688
Don't allow anyone to tell you how to feel and what to feel.

00:45:06.257 --> 00:45:06.827
Yeah.

00:45:06.947 --> 00:45:09.438
And you aren't your emotions.

00:45:09.467 --> 00:45:10.668
Feel your emotions.

00:45:10.757 --> 00:45:11.568
Absolutely.

00:45:11.628 --> 00:45:12.347
Feel them.

00:45:13.577 --> 00:45:17.478
But don't get swallowed up by them, but you aren't your emotions.

00:45:17.628 --> 00:45:17.958
Yeah.

00:45:18.047 --> 00:45:18.827
That's beautiful.

00:45:18.878 --> 00:45:23.288
Sarah, there is so much more that we can learn from you.

00:45:23.288 --> 00:45:26.237
You've gone on to study, so many different modalities.

00:45:26.237 --> 00:45:31.847
Can you share some of them with us that kind of as part of your journey is the learning that you've gone through?

00:45:32.148 --> 00:45:35.702
If anything, I've learned through the modalities.

00:45:35.702 --> 00:45:40.427
I've done, I truly handle my heart when I say this.

00:45:41.027 --> 00:45:52.217
When you combine those modalities with reiki, it's a whole different, takes it to a new level, takes it to a new level.

00:45:52.458 --> 00:45:57.947
So you can be like I've done medical intuitive, crystal healing, crystal light healing, oh my God.

00:45:57.947 --> 00:45:58.938
It's like reiki.

00:45:58.938 --> 00:46:01.867
It's just this sacred ancient wisdom that comes with it.

00:46:01.873 --> 00:46:07.717
It's all, it just takes everything to a platform of love and then doesn't, it's the, it's almost, well, it is, it's the heart.

00:46:07.807 --> 00:46:10.038
It is, it's the middle part to everything.

00:46:10.068 --> 00:46:12.347
It's the place where we expand from.

00:46:12.378 --> 00:46:17.057
It's what amplifies everything and it's the center of everything.

00:46:17.367 --> 00:46:28.768
When people wanna say as above, so below, so within, so without, well you are the center of three hearts of creation, which is the cosmos, the human and earth.

00:46:29.458 --> 00:46:33.237
So that's where Reiki expands.

00:46:33.237 --> 00:46:39.717
So it's the universal life force energy, life force energy, which is.

00:46:41.007 --> 00:46:41.547
The key.

00:46:41.608 --> 00:46:44.458
It's the key to, it's, yeah, it's the key to healing.

00:46:44.463 --> 00:46:45.112
It's key healing.

00:46:45.112 --> 00:46:49.018
It's our life force and it's part of our birthright to be here.

00:46:49.498 --> 00:46:54.958
And if you really wanna understand, as above, so below as within, so without.

00:46:55.632 --> 00:46:57.853
It's about walking the human path.

00:46:57.853 --> 00:47:06.733
And I truly feel it is, oh, if I had it my way, I would have all the nurses and midwives, everyone would be learning my kids.

00:47:06.733 --> 00:47:07.663
I'd be saying the same thing.

00:47:07.663 --> 00:47:27.952
I'd be, soon as we'd be getting it into schools, we'd be getting it into hospitals, we'd be, but I really think there is a movement for it, because I know at my children's school, they do mindfulness, they do yoga, they do wellness, and I know, I just know I'm gonna say I know that feeling that I've got that inner knowing, within the next five years, things are gonna be changing.

00:47:27.983 --> 00:47:28.132
Yeah.

00:47:28.193 --> 00:47:32.182
And I think it's, especially with a lot of science is coming on board now.

00:47:32.182 --> 00:47:41.612
Like we've got Joe Dispenza's just put out an amazing, video that where he's actually done scientific studies to measure, how the mind works with the body.

00:47:41.612 --> 00:47:44.612
And it's not such a woowoo kind of concept anymore.

00:47:44.612 --> 00:47:46.503
The mind, the body, it's all connected.

00:47:46.503 --> 00:47:51.003
When we tap into our intuition and our spiritual aspect, we can heal.

00:47:51.003 --> 00:47:55.262
And I think there's a lot of change coming in a really positive way with the movement.

00:47:55.262 --> 00:47:58.983
And certainly I know that you're a big part of that, Sarah, so thank you.

00:47:58.983 --> 00:48:08.302
We have got so much that we can talk about, so we'll have to wrap it up here, but I've got a feeling there's gonna be another episode with you if you'd like to come back.

00:48:08.302 --> 00:48:09.563
I'd definitely love to have you.

00:48:09.563 --> 00:48:10.342
Oh, I'd love to.

00:48:10.432 --> 00:48:18.333
And, thank you so much Sarah, for being, your open, beautiful self sharing, your journey with your husband and.

00:48:18.737 --> 00:48:19.847
What that meant to you.

00:48:19.847 --> 00:48:21.257
I know it's hard, it was hard for you.

00:48:21.257 --> 00:48:28.188
I could feel the emotion when you were sharing, but I really know that the listeners will have learned something from your experience and how you overcame that.

00:48:28.188 --> 00:48:29.177
Most importantly.

00:48:29.568 --> 00:48:35.648
And now we've both got our husbands around to annoy us for the ongoing future, which is a gift.

00:48:35.677 --> 00:48:41.858
And and I say that with tongue in cheek, but there's some people that didn't and, don't get that ability.

00:48:41.858 --> 00:48:44.108
And there's something grounded in that love, isn't it?

00:48:44.132 --> 00:48:50.898
It just returns us back to that gratitude that we have them in our lives and that we, the love's always there and present.

00:48:51.577 --> 00:48:58.668
Your journey is also, really a radiant reminder to connecting with what's important.

00:48:58.697 --> 00:49:09.407
I heard you talk about, your own sacred development, your own awakening to your own, discovering how to love if it wasn't something that you learned early on.

00:49:09.407 --> 00:49:14.088
And not everyone has, a loving upbringing and I'm not sure if you did or didn't, but Yeah.

00:49:14.137 --> 00:49:23.918
Sometimes we get loved in ways that aren't always a match to the way we need to be loved, so there's love there, but it may be, it doesn't come in the way we need or hoped for.

00:49:23.947 --> 00:49:29.643
And half of it's, we just carry it on from, it's just trauma comes down through generations.

00:49:29.643 --> 00:49:30.418
And it's not even ours.
