Ready Set Reiki

Every now and then Ready Set Reiki has a previous guest coming back to the journey. 
Reikican feel like a warm reset for the soul, until the day it doesn’t. Some people walk away from an attunement or a “high-energy” session feeling itchy, headachy, overwhelmed, or strangely porous, and they’re told to push through or “raise their vibration.” I sit down with Karin  Klein, a trauma-informed energy healer and body therapist based in Germany, to talk about the uncomfortable truth: sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is admit a method isn’t landing safely in your nervous system.

We get specific about nervous system regulation, somatic boundaries, and what Karin  calls energy “diversions” that form as protection, not failure. We talk chakra analysis in a practical way, how to give clients advice they can actually act on, and why grounding slogans often backfire when someone is deeply disregulated. Karin also explains how prenatal and birth imprints can shape patterns you can’t logically remember, and why body reading and aura tracking can uncover the roots of stubborn symptoms that never show up on a scan.

Then we zoom out to the bigger culture around healing. We question guru myths, pedestal thinking, and New Age messages that can keep people, especially women, small and self-doubting. If you’re a Reiki practitioner, teacher, or curious listener who wants more ethical, body-respecting energy work, this conversation will give you language, context, and concrete next steps.

Kids don’t need to be convinced that energy is real. They feel it, name it in their own words, and often surprise us with how quickly they can use simple tools to calm down, refocus, and care for each other. I’m joined by Doreen Foxwell founder of the Children’s School of Yoga, to talk about what Kid Reiki looks like when it’s taught with play, structure, and real-world experience in schools, camps, and childcare centers.

We trace Doreen’s path from a late-night “you have to do this” moment that launched a kids yoga business, through franchising, and then the sharp pivot that came when COVID shut down school-based programs. That disruption opened the door to deeper study, including astrology, angel work, crystal healing, and Reiki training. We get specific about how she explains life force energy to kids, why kids love hands-on practices like the Reiki “fireball,” and how “Reiki homework” (yes, like Reiki’ing a bed or water) helps children feel the difference for themselves.

We also go straight at the hard parts: adult misconceptions, “woo-woo” labels, and religious concerns, especially in more traditional communities. Then we bring it back to practical support for today’s kids, including anxiety, emotional outbursts, and screen fatigue, with kid-friendly meditation, mudras, grounding, and movement. If you’re a Reiki practitioner, kids yoga teacher, parent, or educator looking for children’s mindfulness and energy healing tools that actually work day to day, you’ll leave with ideas you can try immediately. 

Doreen Foxwell is the founder of The Children’s School of Yoga in 2004. Kids Yoga meets Astrology in 2022 and The Children’s School of Reiki 2025. 
Her passion of helping children heal themselves and others continues to grow with each new modality. 
She was one of the first to franchise her yoga business back in 2011 and continues to have many locations throughout NY, NJ and NC that continue to teach her curriculum. 
Doreen is a mother to two adult children and Grandmother to 3. 
When she’s not teaching she loves spending time with her grandsons, friends and family.

Your relationship patterns might not be “bad luck” or a lack of willpower. They might be frozen energy running an old program in your system.
I’m joined by Heather Cypel an intuitive psych specialist and relationship energy specialist, to talk about what happens when you’ve done the journaling, the therapy, the spiritual practices, and you still keep landing in the same painful dynamics. Heather shares why Reiki is such a powerful entry point for learning to feel and move energy, and how her work goes deeper into what she calls the energetic operating system layer where standards, tolerance levels, and attraction patterns are hardwired.

We dig into the idea of “defrosting” frozen trauma in the energy body, why triggers and distorted perceptions can live inside that ice, and how those internal configurations can broadcast limitation 24/7 even when you’re trying to think positively. If manifestation feels inconsistent, this conversation connects the dots with a simple image you won’t forget: magnets don’t stick to ice. We also talk about junk programs you would never consciously choose, the role of discernment for energy practitioners, and how overnight energy transmissions can support deep recalibration with less effort.

You’ll hear us connect this to real life: breakups, relationship repair, women’s empowerment, boundaries, and how shame around divorce and cultural expectations can quietly shape choices. 
Heather Cypel is an Intuitive Psyche Specialist and Relationship Energy Specialist who works with spiritually-aware women at the deepest layer of transformation: the energetic operating system.
Most healing modalities work above the frozen trauma (clearing, releasing, processing). Heather's work goes deeper - to the operating system beneath the frozen energy, where relationship patterns, tolerance levels, and attraction calibrations actually live.
Through her proprietary process, she helps women:
Defrost frozen trauma from the energy body 
Remove junk programming running outdated patterns 
Recalibrate their energetic standards to match their conscious desires 
Shift attraction at the quantum level 
Her clients are typically women who've done extensive inner work but still experience repeating relationship dynamics. They're ready for precision work at the energetic architecture level, not just symptom management.

A lot of people want to believe in intuition, right up until it starts giving them information they cannot explain. That’s why this conversation with Gemma Reid hit so deeply for us. Gemma is a therapist with a master’s degree in social work and more than 20 years in mental health, and she also describes herself as an “accidental medium” who began sensing spirit while supporting people through grief and difficult life transitions.

We talk about what mediumship actually feels like from the inside, including claircognizance (that sudden, unwavering knowing) and clairsentience (receiving through the body). Gemma shares how spirit communicates through energy, symbols, and evidence over time, and why developing trust is a practice, not a switch you flip. We also explore how Reiki and energy healing can amplify intuition in a grounded way, especially for people who grew up being told those gifts were “taboo” or unsafe to talk about.

Then we get practical: how to spot ethical, evidential mediumship online, what red flags to avoid (fear tactics, “stuck” loved ones, pay-more pressure, information-gathering forms), and what real development looks like before charging clients. Gemma also brings a powerful ancestry story as an adoptee, describing synchronicities that guided her toward her Irish family and helped her reframe healing as a journey of identity. If you’re curious about Reiki, spirituality and mental health, psychic development, or simply making sense of signs and synchronicities, you’ll find clarity here.

Gemma Reid holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and spent more than 20 years working in the mental health profession, supporting people through some of life’s most difficult experiences. Her professional career was grounded in psychology, compassion, and a deep understanding of the human experience.
But alongside her work in mental health, Gemma began experiencing something she couldn’t easily explain.
More than 20 years ago, she began experiencing spiritual phenomena and paranormal activity that challenged her understanding of what was possible. Over time, these experiences became part of a much larger journey of discovery.
As an adoptee, Gemma was also searching for answers about her own identity and where she came from. Following the death of her biological father, she began developing what she describes as a profound relationship with him in spirit. Through a series of unexpected signs, synchronicities, and spiritual experiences, Gemma found herself being guided toward the family she had spent much of her life searching for.
That journey ultimately led her to connect with biological family members across Ontario and eventually travel to Ireland, where she met her father’s siblings and discovered more about the family and heritage that had always been missing from her story.
Along the way, Gemma joined a spiritual church and began formally developing her abilities as a medium. What began as unexpected spiritual experiences gradually evolved into a professional calling. Today, Gemma is a professional medium who combines her background in mental health with her personal experiences, intuition, and spiritual development to connect with others in a compassionate and grounded way.
Gemma shares her work with a growing online community through TikTok LIVE, where she offers mediumship, conversation, and spiritual insight to audiences around the world. She is passionate about helping people navigate grief, find hope, explore their own intuition, and recognize the meaningful connections that can emerge through love, loss, and life’s unexpected twists.
She has also completed the manuscript for her memoir, which chronicles her extraordinary journey as an adoptee, her search for her Irish family, and the spiritual experiences that transformed the course of her life.
At the heart of Gemma’s story is a simple belief: sometimes the journey to find where you come from leads you to discover who you were meant to become.

Sound can get you to stillness faster than your mind can argue with it. That’s why we lean into the powerful overlap between Reiki and sound healing, especially for people who are curious but a little nervous about what “energy work” will feel like in their body.

We’re joined by  Naghmeh Taefi , a Reiki master teacher who blends Usui Reiki with archangelic light Reiki, Celtic Reiki, and crystal singing bowls. We talk about what actually happens in a Reiki session when sound frequencies are involved, how high-vibration bowls can support chakra balancing, and why a sound bath immersion often helps first-timers relax before they understand anything intellectually.  Naghmeh Taefi also shares how her science-minded training shapes the way she approaches natural healing, intuition, and client comfort.

We also name a big misconception head-on: Reiki energy isn’t coming from the practitioner. We unpack why some practitioners feel “drained,” what ethical teaching looks like in a world full of quick certifications, and how to choose a Reiki master teacher who leads from integrity and a heart-centered place. You’ll also get practical ideas on what to bring to your first sound bath, plus an honest look at learning Reiki online versus in person.

To close, Naghmeh offers a short tree grounding meditation that connects roots, breath, and “love and light” in a way you can revisit anytime you need steadiness. 

Naghmeh is a Reiki & Archangelic Light Master who uses sound bowls to encourage relaxation and healing! Having a science background, she is passionate about bringing together all modalities of healing! 
Reiki is a universal life force energy transfer by using hands to encourage emotional or physical relief! The Angelic and Archangelic Light Reiki brings in the energy from the angelic realm to further enhance healing. The crystal singing bowls have a high vibrational frequency that can help with balancing chakras. 
Reiki, facilitated by sound healing creates an experience that brings inner peace and encourages the body to rest and revitalize itself. These sessions allow the mind to become calm and provide more awareness of the body and a deeper connection to the spirit
