Episode #214 Gloria ‘Grace”Rand Rebuilding Confidence With Energy Healing After 50

You can feel a life change coming before you can explain it and that’s where energy work gets real. Tracy   sits down with returning guest Gloria “Grace “Rand, founder of Radiant on Purpose, to talk about Reiki, light language, and the courage it takes to stop dimming yourself for other people’s comfort. We get honest about what it means to be visible, especially when your path looks “different,” and why the universe sometimes nudges you from behind-the-scenes into the spotlight. 

Gloria breaks down light language in a grounded way: a multidimensional, heart-led frequency that can be spoken, sung, or expressed through movement, often arriving in “dialects” that feel familiar to the receiver. We also talk about Reiki as a practical support system, not just a spiritual concept, including how Reiki circles can help you move grief, soften emotional overload, and bring you back to balance when life hits hard. Along the way, we unpack a common misconception that trips people up: thinking Reiki is only something you receive from someone else, instead of a skill you can learn and use for self-care. 

Midlife empowerment is a core theme, with a special focus on women over 50 who are done being told they are past their prime. Gloria shares her signature L O V E method: Let Go And Let God, Open Your Heart To Receive, Value Your Uniqueness, and Embrace Your Divinity, plus the mindset behind pivots, reinvention, and building confidence one decision at a time. If you’re craving clarity, purpose, and a deeper relationship with your intuition, this conversation offers a steady place to start. 

Gloria “Grace” Rand is the founder of Radiant On Purpose, guiding mission-driven women over 50 to live life on their terms. A bestselling author, certified high-performance speaker, and podcaster, Grace blends her signature L.O.V.E. Method with intuitive coaching and energy healing to rebuild confidence and reignite purpose from within.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

Thank you. Thank you for having me back, Tracy. I'm so excited to talk with you because you're such a you are such a light and I enjoy talking with you.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

I know it's been lots of fun. Um, I was so excited because you had been on the podcast and I had an opportunity that kind of fell out of the sky and landed in my lap. And when I went to check out this new reality TV, which was new to me, there you were. You had a show. I was like, I know her, right? So I was so excited to see you thriving and successful and TV star. How exciting is that?

SPEAKER_00 3:12

I know. Who knew? Who knew I'd be on TV now? Because way back when and another lifetime ago, I worked behind the scenes in television. I did not want to be on camera, but you know, things change. And I don't I think uh the universe is like, stop hiding your light girlfriend. You need to get get in front of that camera.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Absolutely. And it's just so interesting how God, the universe, prepares you for certain things because I had been behind the scenes working on a radio show back in like 2011, 2012. And I was being like the script writer, writing the questions for things. And then this has been instrumental in the things that I was doing and doing now. And I stepped down as an elementary teacher working in schools, and I became a special education aide, and I was assigned to a student for a couple of years who was going to tech for multimedia. So I was learning, I was sitting in the back watching and listening how to use Canva, how to do editing, how to do all these things. And little did I know, I took it as an ego thing, like I can't believe I stepped down and I'm now an aide. But this was helping prepare me for turning into my purpose here. So in amazing ways. So you were on the show before, and you know, those who maybe listened to the episode or brand new, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Her Reiki Path And Light Language

SPEAKER_00 4:38

So yeah, I mean, well, oh gosh, there's so much, so much to talk, but but my journey with Reiki, yeah, became gosh, over 20 years ago now. I can't believe it. How did it get to be 2026? I don't understand. Um, you know, I just graduated from high school, you know, I don't know, a couple weeks ago, right? But but over the years, I, you know, of originally my business uh after I left television, I became a business owner doing writing copy for business websites and doing that. And then uh in 2016, well the end of 2016, and my my life shifted because I lost my sister to cancer. And shortly before she passed, I got this inspiration to write this book about love. And I thought it was nuts because I do online marketing. And so, so along the way, I'd been still doing Reiki, I think here and there. I even went back in, I think in like 2019, maybe or 2018, I think, and got recertified again because I'd kind of let it slide for a while, and then I I started feeling called to get back to it. Um and then in 2020, I wound up starting to channel light language, and which has been an amazing journey in itself. And so now I I I sometimes do sort of combine the two, especially if I'm working with doing sort of like distance Reiki, I'll be like distance light language at the same time and doing and doing Reiki Reiki for people that way. And it's um I'm I'm still not uh what's the what's the word consistent. Yeah, that's the word. I'm still not consistent with with Reiki, but since we've sort of reconnected, you're you're sort of inspiring me to to get back to doing that self-reiki practice again. And uh it just requires just doing it, you know, just getting back to it. And I do sometimes like I I I I found I think even in the last year, sometimes I was having some issues. And so I would do do some Reiki on myself before I went to bed, uh, you know, or like lying in bed, I would do practice Reiki then. So it it's it's it's such a wonderful modality, and then I'm able to still kind of go back to it. But but now, yeah, so so now my my my work is about really working with with women, in particular over 50, because that's me now. And so that's my I I've I've made mistakes along the way, and you know, and so if I can help other women perhaps maybe not either either maybe not make the same mistakes or be able to give them some clues on how to recover from those mistakes maybe a little quicker than I did. Um that's that's my that's my mission in life, I guess, is is to to to really to put more love and light in the world. I think that's that's ultimately what what I'm here for right now.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

Absolutely. Well, my condolences about your sister. So losing that sibling as I've had experience, it's changing, right? And uh, and for those who do not know, I know because I do light language. What what is light language?

SPEAKER_00 8:00

Light language is it's a how I explain it is it's a multidimensional sort of communication, and it's something that I am able to share um in lots of different ways. I mean, with my hands, I'm already like using my hands. So for those of you listening, you're you're you're not you're not seeing me move my hands, but I'm moving my hands. I I speak it, I sing it, and and it's it's ultimately a language of love. That's that's really what it is. It's a frequency that your your heart, your soul picks up on. It's not necessarily something that your logical mind is going to understand, although it might sound familiar. And and the way I was asking my guides about it one time, because I was going to give a presentation to talk about what is light language, they said that this is the language you spoke before you came here. And and it's the language you speak when you go. And just like we all have in this wonderful earth that we that we reside on so many different uh languages and and dialects and things. So that's why there's also different dialects of light language and things. And so, like when I share, some people say it sounds like this, and other people say, oh, it sounds like that. And and so it's just it's it's a familiar, familiar love language. Again, like I said, it's really it's a frequency of love that we're we're all made of anyway, and and anybody can really do it. Uh, it just requires setting some intention and and and being in the right frame of mind and saying, yeah, I want to be able to explore this, I think is is is a key to getting started with it.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

Right, right. I know for myself, when you look at it, it's man that made the language, right? Yeah. Spoken word and the written word. And there is often this kind of confusion because at first, when I had always kind of looking back, spoke it when I was younger. And I think I got away with it because I was an elementary teacher. So when I would say to the kids, hilarious, you know, you're being so silly, Mrs. C, right? Right. So I think I kind of got away with it. But you know, people listen because we're so used to listening to other people to comprehend or to answer back, but it's really just that tone and the and it comes out how it comes out, and to someone it just sounds like garble, but it really is this feeling and emotion with it. And I found when I kind of came out to do it, I was a little bit more embarrassed than doing Reiki or yoga or any of the other modalities that I did. I remember I was going online to do this publicly, and um I thought, oh my goodness, what's my husband going to think? You know, seeing me in some interesting situations as an elementary school teacher. I mean, I had um a play called The Wedding of Jack and Jill. And so uh he was the chauffeur in the wedding of Jack and Jill because they tumbled down the aisle and everything. There's this song about all the raindrops and lemon drops and gum drops. Oh, what a rain that would be standing up with his mouth open wide. And he looks in the window of the door, and I'm like, ah, ah, ah, ah. Yep.

unknown 11:32

What is happening here?

SPEAKER_01 11:35

And he is seeing me in costumes and all kinds of things when it's been like farm day at school, and I've got overalls on, and I had to mess up like a diver one time. And so I thought, oh, I don't know how he's going to be. Cause he said, Listen, I'm okay, but if you start carrying a wand around, we're gonna have a talk, right? I was like, Oh goodness, let me shut the door and put the headphones on. But then I just took that to the point, you know what, this is this is what it is, you know. And uh and with time, you know, and you gain that confidence to kind of boldly go and just express it, and then by being that example, you can help somebody else. I've been doing that too, and I'll find like sometimes I'll have an accent, like like it sounds a little bit Italian or median, and it's just so fascinating that it just comes through, like channels through, and I'll stop and I'll be like, huh, where did that come from? And it's just an almost like a song in a way.

SPEAKER_00 12:40

Yeah, yeah. I know, exactly. Yeah, yeah. I've had I've had similar, similar feelings, and a lot of uh for mine sometimes it's either sounds Asian sometimes or or native Native American, possibly. But I did have one time where I shared it with a client that it sounded like Latin, like Latin chant, like that. I used to sing in church. And and I was like, huh, that's interesting. But I guess that must be what she needed to hear. She had maybe needed to to be able to receive it to have it be something a little bit more familiar, and and that's never happened with anybody else, but I just found it so fascinating. I was like, right, thank you, universe. That's such a cool way to to meet people where they are.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

I feel absolutely, absolutely. I had a session once where um it was almost coming out like a lullaby and helping with their inner child.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

Yeah, I love that.

SPEAKER_01 13:39

So your focus now is on working with empowering

Confidence To Be Seen And Heard

SPEAKER_01 13:42

women. What led you to kind of realize in your journey, hmm, I'd like to help empower women?

SPEAKER_00 13:49

Well, I think because of doing the work by myself, really, I you know, and and having to go through this, go through the process of writing my book for one thing, and and really realizing that the subtitle of my book is how to stop doubting yourself and start being yourself, which is something I had had been doing, had been doubting myself and needed to learn how to do that. And I also in just talking with so many other women over the over the years, and especially over the last say 10 years, I and I even have I have my own Facebook group as well for women over 50 and and talking with some of them when we when we get together even in person, which I love to do, is that yeah, there's there's so many uh society sort of puts these um limiting limiting beliefs or or or limiting yeah, limiting thoughts maybe on us, and that we then start to to take upon us that we're not um as capable anymore, or that we should be, you know, again, like when we were kids, that we should be seen and not heard. It's kind of the same thing. It's like, oh, well, you're you know, old, we don't want to pay attention to you. You've got gray hair, what the heck do you know? It's like, excuse me, hello. This is when you should be listening even more because we've lived and we have experience. So that's that that's sort of the the reason why I want to be able to pay it forward, you know, and be able to to help other women realize that this is just we're just starting to hit our stride, you know. It's like we've got so many more good things to come. And and and it's really again, it's like it's so strange that societies have this idea that we're you know, we should be washed up when if you really do the research, you'll see so many successful people actually started in their 50s. You know, uh so it's not unusual to start a successful business or even in your 60s and and even and even later. So we're just now is the time, especially as we move into like our 50s, and and especially if you have been a parent in particular, by now your kids have been, you know, should be on their own and and are starting their own lives. And so they don't quite need you as much, although they do still do, but but they don't need you quite as much. And so now is that time for you to go back and and say, hmm, what what did I did? I have maybe a dream that I kind of put on the show for a while. Maybe I want to explore that now, or maybe I just want to start something totally new. Well, but I don't know what that is, and I need some help finding that. And so that's what I like being able to do is help help women to to develop that clarity first off, and then develop the confidence to say, yeah, you can do this, you know, or at least at least give it a shot. And then if it doesn't work, then you pivot and try something else, and that's okay too.

unknown 16:56

Right.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

There are so many examples online of women. I was reading the other day. Now she wasn't in her 50s, but she was in her 40s. And Vera Wang, who is the dresser, she worked at Vogue for many years. Her goal was that particular editor job, and in her 40s, she was passed over because they said she was too old, and she left that and became a designer. And I always tell my children, rejection is protection that is switching you to that purpose. And if she would have gotten that editor job, she may not have built this million-dollar business as she's 76 years old, she was on some kind of event recently, she looked fantastic, and she was so respected and world-went round, but she was overlooked after putting 17 years into a company, yeah, and and that happens sometimes, but maybe reframe the way you're looking at it is well, what a blessing I didn't get that opportunity. What a blessing that job really encouraged me to go into a different direction that I never thought I ever would do, because I never imagined that I would in my 50s be teaching yoga full-time, reading time, podcasts, books, all of these things because I just thought, okay, well, I'm gonna be a mom. I knew that from when I was little, and I knew I wanted to do some type of teaching, but I thought it was in the classrooms and with little kids, and we were gonna do circle time, right? Uh, I remember as a young mom, I had moved um from Pittsburgh to Maryland, then down to Charleston, South Carolina, and I had my first child, and this was before all the internet and all the groups and things like that. There was a group that I found at my church, and uh it was mothers of preschoolers. And uh, I had gone and they had a series called The Titus Women, and they were women in their 50s that would come up and they would speak. And I remember so moved by this because it's like we have the wisdom that we can help and inspire you and encourage you. And it's so refreshing to be able to have these resources now. Um because as Gen, I mean, as a Gen Xer, you know, these things weren't spoken about. My mother didn't talk about these things, these were like taboo things that we didn't talk about with menopause and kind of things. Sometimes you kind of lost. Like, where do you go to for this information? So helping, empowering, coming from this time where you know you were put down as women, and nope, you're boxed into this, you can only teach. I mean, you just think back to when women could actually have a credit card without their husband or get a it wasn't that long ago.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

No, it wasn't. It's only like 50 years, folks. 55, let's say. And I mean, that's that's that's just a drop in the bucket. So yeah, it's it's amazing. And I and I'm I must say I was fortunate in that. My although maybe not necessarily for circumstances, because I grew up so a little bit older than you. I'm I'm Jen Jones now. I found out so a subset because I'm the tail end of the baby boomers. So now we decided we have our we're that brick sandwich generation between the baby boomers and Jen X. Yeah. Um, but that my mom did actually work full-time. I think probably she had to because we needed the income, and you know, it was the 70s, we had a big recession and stuff. But she was a good role model for me in that she became uh she she worked for the county government and then eventually became a court officer clerk for juvenile court. So she was a little, she said she was five foot two until I got to be five foot two, and then I was like, not quite, mom. I think you're maybe closer to five five foot or five one, maybe. But she had to wear a uniform, police uniform. She had to learn how to fire a gun,

Midlife Purpose And Women Over 50

SPEAKER_00 20:55

and she would escort these really tall teenagers from the lockup to the courtroom and back again. And I mean, that's not something that you know a lot of women would do. And so that really she inspired me to know that I could go on and do, you know, whatever. If if if she could do that, I can do whatever I set out to do. And that's that's you know, any of us, we need to be able to know that we can set our minds and and and do stuff, and don't let society tell you you can't. If you really want it strongly enough, you can find a way to do it somehow, even if you have to maybe modify it a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

Right. And the home that my mother was raised in it was to be a housewife, and my grandparents helped raise me. So that was put on me as well. Oh, you're gonna make a good wife and you're gonna be a great mother, and that was kind of heavily put upon. And kindergarten, the area that I lived in, it wasn't even a town, it's called a borough, right? So it's one hall, okay. And so uh we still had a little bit of segregation. At the time in the 70s, still it kind of had caught up. And uh I remember like my parents were divorcing, and this was a huge thing. No one else in my class was. And my mom had to go back to school, and she went to be a hairdresser, and then she had to work, and so my grandparents would take care of me. And um, and I think that got me a little behind on things because you know, getting a divorce, and my mother was young, and my mom had uh she had lost a baby uh a year before, and she probably had something going on that today maybe consider postpartum. Yeah, and so she had to go back to work, and there was her dream that passed. And one day she opened up the newspaper and saw an ad for um a hospital at the time was named Presby, but today it's called UPMC, needing uh uniclerks. And she went and applied and she got the job, and she was a working woman, just like you see in that movie with Melanie Griffith. She had uh the shoes, the tennis shoes on, and the skirt on, and she would go off. And then she found there was a program that she could go back to school and get her education because my grandfather would not let her go to college. He was like, No, that's we don't do that, we're a homemaker. And she went to try to get a nursing degree, and she eventually did get it. So as I was graduating high school, she was getting her two-year associates, as I was wondering, how cool my college degree, she got her bachelor's, always speak over me. Listen, get your degree. That's one thing that take away from you. Get your yeah, it's really important to get that. So she was a model that way, but her her dream was to be a stay-at-home mom and have kids.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

Yeah, yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

And that was an example of resilience and the goal against that. So it's great to have, and I'm sure she would have loved to have someone like you to help guide through it because my grandmother, she was a homemaker, she didn't finish high school, she she quit when she was 16. So she didn't know this was unfamiliar territory for her. So when life throws you that curveball, where do you go?

SPEAKER_00 24:11

Right.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

unknown 24:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:15

So years ago you made this connection to Reiki. So, what are some of the positive uh benefits to having Reiki in your life?

SPEAKER_00 24:23

Oh gosh, it's been so good. You know, it really has it's a it's a wonderful tool to, you know, I the word who's coming to mind is is balance for some reason. I think I think is interesting.

Family Stories About Resilience

SPEAKER_00 24:38

So yeah, I think I think to keep me on balance, you know, mentally, spiritually, uh physically, sometimes as well, you know, because sometimes we need we need a little little a little help that way. And and I think that's what I know certainly also for me, it was a really great um before I even learned to become a Reiki practitioner, I was attending uh Reiki circles. And um shortly after my mom had passed, I was attending one of the circles. And um my mom and I had had at times a fraught relationship, but also we were really, really close. And and I really I was sad that I lost her at only 78 when my kids were still young, and so now and my mother-in-law had passed like two years before, so now my kids were without their grandmas. And and so during the circle, one time it was like I just had all of this wash of grief just came through. Um, and and it was it was necessary, but and you know, it was a little painful at the time, but afterwards it was like such a relief to be able to let that. And I think that's that's one of the wonderful benefits, I think, of Reiki is being able to help us to move through emotions, you know, to like like grief and to help you with that. And so I'm very, very blessed to to have had that experience and have that tool as one of the tools in my my tool chest when I need to either help myself or to help other clients as well. And yeah, so it's it's it's a wonder, it's energy, you know, it's it's a wonderful way to be able to help help us because we are all energy beings anyway. So it's a another way of moving energy that maybe needs to be moved to uh that's gets stuck sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Yeah, and especially when this emotion just kind of rolls in and it's like, oh, and to be able to go to that toolbox and say, okay, what's gonna help me here? Is this emotional or mental? Is this something from my childhood? Is this something from last week? And use these tools to help regulate and just and like just for today, I'm not gonna get angry when I want to knock somebody out, right? Yeah, absolutely. Everybody stop before they reacted, then we're not going to have some of the violence that we have in the world today. Yeah. What surprised you about working with energy?

SPEAKER_00 27:08

Oh, that's a good question. Uh, you know, I think that I think that I could that I could work with it, that that it was something because I was very much sort of a mental person. Um, you know, I was the the one who was always striving to get good grades in school and just feeling uh even though I I you know went to church and and things like that, but um it was a really, I think what yeah, what surprised me was just being able to, I think also to really get to know myself, to connect with myself better, to understand myself better. Because again, I I think I over the years had started putting up walls and and was and was also just trying to be a certain way with certain people and and not really embrace who I was at my core, um, which is someone who loves life, who loves to sing. I've always wanted, I always enjoyed singing and and just being able to be freely in my skin. And I think, yeah, so I think that's been again sort of the benefit, but I think also one of the the surprises that it was uh that it has helped me to reconnect with who I am.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

Yeah. Along the journey, and then as we age as well, and then hitting that 50 and just saying, okay, I mean, you have people that'll say things where you're not gonna get that job where you're boxed in, and I have proven them wrong so many times, just opportunities that I've been like it just floated down from the sky. It's like hey, and being an inspiration to others that you can do this too. I mean, and pivot, change, grow. One of the best pieces of advice that I got as a teacher in school was when it's not working, stop and redirect. And it's really beyond the classroom with things to it's okay to change my business. It's okay to say, I don't like doing this anymore. Like I want to do something different and have the courage to be able to do that. I had an opportunity to have a studio and the location just was not working after six months. I mean, my clients were getting um their cars parked in and things, and I was outgrowing the space. It really wasn't one that I could grow from. It was like, well, I need this now, this thing closed, and I needed I have clients, let's go to the next thing. And a few months, and I'm like, after you know, a client got kind of parked in, and we were trying to find the person who uh parked them in in the restaurant, and I was like, you know what? I don't think this is working.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

Yeah, definitely not.

SPEAKER_01 30:03

But I don't want people to think I closed because I ran out of money or I was failing. I was doing well, I was paying the rent, it was a low enough rent that it wasn't going like we weren't gonna be in the streets, you know. It was credible, but then I thought, you know what, this is not working. This is not working. And I went to the landlord, I said, if you have somebody else to take this over, I'm okay. I'll stay through my year lease, but I think it's just not working for the location. And I got out of it, and I just said to people, I couldn't grow here. Yeah, you know, I want people to be relaxed and peaceful and joyful. Yeah, and then as they walk out, you're like, wait, all these cars, how am I gonna get out? And I gotta leave. And then you have to down somebody. I thought, okay, um, this isn't working.

SPEAKER_00 30:47

It's not working, yeah.

Defeats defeats the purpose of them coming to you to get the relief when they have to then step outside and be absolutely uh junkyard dogs there, and and I was fine with the dogs, they were lovely, but not everybody's a dog person, and you have to honor that as well with that. So it wasn't working out. So, what are some misconceptions that you find about Reiki as you've been out and working with it and talking with people?

SPEAKER_00 31:14

Uh I think that this is a good question. Yes, you ask really good questions, have to make me make me think about the answers here. I you know, maybe that it's that's a good question. I'm not really sure the answer to this. I'm not um um I think because I like I could I can answer this better for light language, because it seems like to me that I don't know that there's as many maybe misconceptions anymore because I think Riki has gotten to be a little bit more mainstream than when I even than when I first started. So maybe maybe maybe the misconception is that maybe maybe that they have to go to somebody to do it. That might be a big one. Yeah, yeah. You know, that they that it's not something that they can learn to do for themselves. And because it it is definitely good to go to somebody, and and sometimes you need to do that to have that external person who might be able to see the blockages that you're not seeing or be able to feel the blockages maybe that you're not able to feel. Um, but I think that you can also then learn to do it yourself. You can get the attunements and you can start to practice

SPEAKER_00 32:43

yourself. And then when you need support, then you go seek someone else, you know, like like you, uh, you know, for that extra support.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

But yeah, so I think that might be and that ties in perfectly to what surprised you about the energy because you're anyone can do this. You don't have to have any gifts, you don't have to be magical or all those things, or some people call it woo-woo, right? I mean, and there are people that do it the systematic way, they they have no psychic abilities, no downloads, no nothing, and they're just you know, they're holding space because you as the client are pulling it. And I go in uh at times with graduates to work on me because there's some things, you know, that I need to say, hey, what do you see, you know, feel, or I have a blockage that I just can't move myself and someone else to help with that. So that's that's self-care and all that itself. Beautiful. So tell us about your signature L-O-V-E method.

SPEAKER_00 33:46

Love that. Yeah, so yeah, this was I I I I love it and because it's it's so great for me, but and and it's it's similar to other people's, but it's but it's what I needed and what I now get to share. So it love is an acronym, obviously, L-O-V-E. So it stands for the L is let go and let God. The O is open your heart to receive. The V is value your uniqueness, and the E is embrace your divinity. And that that came to me that very first day when I was like, this idea to write a book about love. And I'm like, well, what if I write a book about love? What am I gonna say? And then it was like, oh, love is an acronym. Okay. So, but then I had to figure out what all of that that means. And and and as I said, it's interesting. I've I've done other like reading of other people, and I'll be like, oh, this seems familiar. It's like, oh, this is another way of looking at it. Like, I'm also a fan of the gene keys, and sometimes the way they talk about things similar. And I and I know, like I used to read like Wayne Dyer, and and he would talk about something that would be similar, but it's like that's what's wonderful about sometimes that there are these wonderful concepts that might be the same, and yet because we are all unique and you have to value your own uniqueness, is that I might resonate with you, but I'm not gonna resonate with you over there. And that's okay, you might resonate more with you know, somebody like a Wayne Dyer, but but this other person is gonna resonate with me. And and I think that's such a wonderful thing to appreciate because I know sometimes when maybe you have an idea and you're like, oh, but this is you know the same idea. Somebody else has already written about this, or somebody else is already practicing this, you know, why why would someone come to me? You know, like you know, like there's so many Reiki practitioners or light language, why would someone come to me? And it's because I'm me, you know, and and there's gonna be something about me that may resonate with you or may not, but you're not gonna know unless you try. And because there are some people that I resonate with, and there are others that are like, you know, they're a lovely person, but I'm not gonna go back to them. I mean, even I've had that just with chiropractors, frankly. It's like I I used to get adjustments, and it was like one time I went to someone, I'm like, I'm never going back to you. Oh my gosh, it was just nope, did not get relief. It was just not right. So that's what it's about. So it's about letting go of you know your own limiting beliefs, about opening your heart to receive ultimately love. But I I talk about it in my book, it's about it can be lots of things. Opening your heart to receive money, frankly. You know, we have a lot of limiting beliefs about that, you know, valuing who you are and then embracing your divinity. So for me, uh even though I was raised Catholic, I'm not practicing anymore, but now I'm really much more spiritual and that embracing that

Misconceptions And Self Reiki Power

SPEAKER_00 37:08

we are ultimately all one. You know, we are we are energy, we are love, and we are all connected, but also to be able to appreciate that about yourself and know that you, as my mom used to say, God doesn't make junk. So you're you're you're not, you know, you're you're you're an amazing human being and to appreciate that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

I mean, you can really look at anything like that, say like music, right? On a guitar. I mean, probably every single note in chord has ever been played at this point. Exactly, yeah. Right. So why create more music? It's already been done, right? And you'll have that certain, you know, um uh musician, right? So Paul McCartney, he can play Mary Have a Little Lamb, and I'm gonna listen. That's right, right? I mean, it it the way he does it's gonna be a little bit different than like, well, that's traditional, Paul. What's going on? Right, plays it. Well, that's a little different, right? So there's a little bit of uniqueness to that. So yeah. So best-selling author, you are a certified high performance speaker, podcaster, TV show, coach, and you're oh my, oh my, oh my! All these wonderful things. Have we been talking? Is there something that you may have forgotten or something you want to share with the listeners? The floor is yours.

SPEAKER_00 38:31

Oh gosh. I, you know, I think the what I want to impart uh on your listeners who are on on maybe their own Reiki journey is to just be open to all possibilities and and to really spend time getting to know yourself. And and whether that is through maybe just spending time doing a Reiki um self, you know, self-uh treatment or or spending time in meditation. I'm a big proponent of meditation or journaling, but spending time to get to know yourself. And because that's going to really help you in anything that you do afterwards. Because when you get to really connect and get to start trusting your higher self and your own intuition, it just opens up the world to you of wonderful synchronicities start to happen. And it's a it's a great gift.
