Reiki Radio Podcast

On this episode, I interview Christal McElveen of http://neptunesgate.com, a fellow contributor to the book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” about her lifelong sensitivity to energy, growing up in a religious environment, and learning to cope with intense empathy and visions.

Christal shares how she eventually shut her gifts down, then was cracked open by her grandmother’s passing, leading to years of numbness, severe high blood pressure, and unprocessed grief. Her grandmother catalyzed her spiritual path, bringing Reiki into her life for deep, transformative healing. She also discusses Reiki levels, shadow work, grounding, intuition, and developing boundaries. I especially loved hearing about Christal’s “year of no” in 2023, redefining “selfish,” her path to reclaiming feminine softness, and how she now teaches Reiki and offers yearlong spiritual mentorship and other services.

April 2026, Energy of the Month, is an initiation and rebirth! Let's explore our relationship to Aries season, the influence of Mars, and the Energetic Alchemist Oracle card - The Architect (counterpart to last month’s Breathing Goddess).

We'll also touch on how Pisces season, the energies of dissolution and release, created space for our Aries embodiment, bold authenticity, and action, while emphasizing a collective attunement to higher frequency and ongoing systemic breakdowns. This month will support realization around what’s falling away, how to assert yourself without becoming too aggressive, and reshaping an anxious relationship with time.

Astrological Highlights Include

Full Moon in Libra on April 1st (self vs. relationship mirrors)
Mars entering Aries April 9th (intensified drive for six weeks)
Mercury entering Aries April 14th (mental breakthroughs)
New Moon in Aries April 17th (ambition and self-investment)
Sun entering Taurus April 19th (slowing down into values, method, comfort, and Venus themes)

Yolanda and Melinda reunite to celebrate the equinox and discuss seasonal shifts, especially the Sun moving into Aries, and what it means for energy practitioners. They reflect on transitioning from Pisces themes of dissolution, forgiveness, purification, and compassion - moving into Aries, cardinal fire, action, audacity, and self-directed initiative, while noting the need to balance water and fire. They also mention other astrological aspects, including multiple placements that are currently in Aries (Sun, Moon, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron), linking this to re-identification, amplification of audacity, passion, taking up space, and personal agency.

As practitioners of energetic arts, they go beyond the ideas of the equinox and discuss how Aries energy shows up in all of us and what we can learn through this season. In the end, they pull tarot and oracle cards for the season.

In this episode I sit down with the hosts of Haute Hustle Morning Mystics, Jeneth and Lyanca. I met these incredible women when I was invited to be a guest on their show, and now they’re on the other side of the microphone, sharing about how they met, their career pivots, and the spiritual experiences that shaped their work.  

Jeneth shares how a life-changing surgery sparked mystical encounters, led to channeling, and inspired her book, “Seven Dragons: A Guide to A Limitless Mind,” which later evolved into dragon-based healing journeys and bodywork.  

Lyanca recounts leaving a successful advertising career after feeling depleted, pursuing life coach training, and experiencing a 2020 spiritual awakening that deepened her path, including QHHT sessions, channeling messages about collective intention and empowerment.  

Together they describe Haute Hustle’s mission as building a nonjudgmental community, exploring manifestation and frequency, and offering tools like hypnotherapy, a money-frequency quiz, and ongoing programs and events.
