OTHER RESOURCES YOU CAN DO ON YOUR OWN
** InsightTimer is a free meditation app and one of my favorites as it has such robust offerings (including the Live events), even without upgrading the paid version.
WHAT IS REIKI?
Since many of the events and resources I shared have a Reiki component, I thought I'd give a quick explanation of how I view and experience this practice.
Reiki is both a Japanese word that loosely translates to "spiritual energy" or "universal life force energy" and a system of tools and practices (originating in Japan) that aim to help us intentionally connect and align with this energy, ourselves, and the world around us. I always describe it as the energy of peace, love, and compassion. It is first and foremost designed to be a personal self-care practice to support your well-being and in some cases may activate the desire to become a practitioner to offer support to others.
When I have a "Reiki-infused" offering, it simply means I am holding the intention to be grounded in this loving energy and to share my wishes and support, directing that love and peace your way.
As always, please feel free to reach out with question or would like to schedule a private session.
With love & gratitude,
Nicole
