The fastest way to lose confidence in your Reiki path is to feel like you have to do it “the one right way” or wear a title that doesn’t even fit. I’m joined by Carrie Varella, founder of Reiki Healing Society, co-host of the Reiki Women Podcast, and creator of the GoPro Reiki mentorship program, for an honest conversation about what it means to grow as a Reiki practitioner and build a sustainable Reiki business without getting trapped by hierarchy, hype, or rigid rules.

We talk about how Reiki found Carrie through yoga, what it’s like to study multiple Reiki lineages (including the shift into Holy Fire Reiki), and why one of the biggest Reiki misconceptions is confusing Reiki energy healing with spiritual mediumship. We also get into the online Reiki training debate after COVID: what changes, what stays the same, and why the real measure of a good Reiki course is whether students leave feeling clear, capable, and supported. If you’ve been searching for learn Reiki online, distance Reiki, Reiki attunement, or Reiki certification, you’ll hear a grounded take that centers ethics and accessibility.

Then we go deeper into the language we use. Carrie shares why she no longer feels called to use the term “Reiki master,” how decolonization principles can help us question titles and power dynamics, and why cultural appropriation matters in the world of Reiki and yoga. We close with practical Reiki business support: mentorship, community, income streams, and the upcoming Reiki Business Summit where practitioners can connect and grow together.

Two hundred episodes doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you keep showing up, especially after grief, fear, and the moments where you wonder if you can even speak with confidence again. I’m Tracy Seawright, and this anniversary reflection pulls back the curtain on why Ready Set Reiki exists, how it grew, and what I’ve learned from building a Reiki and energy healing podcast rooted in service rather than sales.

I share the surprising push that started it all, including a “pay-to-play” media pitch that didn’t sit right, and why I chose to create a free platform where Reiki practitioners can share their stories at no cost. Along the way, I talk about my own Reiki journey, from early exposure to Reiki, to returning during the pandemic, to moving through deep grief and rebuilding confidence through daily self-Reiki, prayer, and consistency. If you’ve ever felt called to help others while still healing yourself, you’ll recognize that path.

We also get practical. I break down what Reiki is (universal life force energy), why it’s a stress-reducing complementary therapy, and how to start in a way that feels safe and clear. We talk about choosing between in-person and online Reiki sessions, finding an ethical Reiki practitioner, asking what a session includes, and exploring Reiki training options like Usui Reiki and Holy Fire Reiki. I also name common misconceptions, explain intuitive vs systematic styles, and remind you that Reiki respects free will.

If this resonates, listen through, share it with someone who needs calm, and then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find Reiki, self-healing tools, and supportive community. What part of your journey needs more consistency right now?

Thank you everyone for continuing with me on this journey and together let’s sprinkle Reiki throughout the world. From the curious beginner to the season master teacher.

Your home can look fine on the outside and still feel wrong in your body. If you’ve ever walked into your own space and felt your shoulders tighten, your energy drop, or your mind start racing, you’re not imagining it. I sit down with Lisa Morton, a feng shui master teacher, holistic interior designer, and Reiki master, to talk about what “aligned at home” really means when real life is messy, stressful, and loud.

Lisa shares her journey from designing luxury private jet interiors to finding energy healing through Reiki during a period of burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism. We talk about the moment Reiki finally made her feel lighter, why that experience pushed her to train, and how she began experimenting with Reiki in houses before going deeper into feng shui and distance space clearing. Along the way, we explore what to look for in a Reiki practitioner or teacher, and why genuine connection matters more than doing everything “the right way.”

From there we get practical. Lisa breaks down instinctive feng shui, how a bagua map can overlay your floor plan like an energetic compass, and why virtual feng shui consultations can be surprisingly powerful with nothing more than a conversation and a simple layout. We also answer listener questions about her Intuitive Home Method, a 30-day transformation that helps you look past décor and into what your body and family actually need. And yes, we go there: cacti, poison arrows, and how sharp shapes can subtly stress your nervous system over time.

Lisa Morton is a designer, Feng Shui master teacher, and the creator of the Intuitive Home Method. For 20+ years she's transformed homes, businesses, and even luxury private aircraft interiors. Her superpower is blending grounded design with distance space clearings and Feng Shui so your home supports your health, momentum, and joy. Lisa works with clients worldwide, is the host of the Feng Shui Living Podcast and the author of Aligned at Home, a book on creating deeply aligned, high-vibe homes.

If you’re ready for a calmer, healthier home energy with fewer rules and more intention, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who feels stuck in their space, and leave a review so more people can find Ready Set Reiki.
