Reiki Radio Podcast

This is a conversation and oracle reading, which you can access weekly, for free, on The Energetic Alchemist app. What if the frequency you connect with during Reiki practice wasn't something you visited occasionally, but something you consciously cultivated throughout your everyday life?

This week's energetic message brings us into a powerful conversation about attunement, resonance, and the courage to live in alignment with our higher nature.We often speak about being attuned to Reiki, but what does that really mean beyond our sessions, classes, and meditation practices? If we can consciously shift our awareness and energy when...

As we prepare to close out this year, there's something important stirring in you, being asked to be acknowledged. This month is preparing you to complete your NEW alignment, accepting who you're realizing yourself to be in the process. There's likely a LOUD knowing of what you value, what's no longer serving you, and the discomfort or excitement around recognizing what needs to change.

We begin November in Scorpio season, inviting you into the depths of emotional truth. What have you been carrying? What are you ready to understand differently? Are you willing to meet those parts of...

What happens when we stop worrying about whether we're practicing Reiki correctly and begin trusting what we're actually experiencing? In this episode of Reiki Radio, I'm joined by my dear friend and fellow Reiki teacher, Gwen of My Spiritual Butterfly, for an open, honest conversation about our evolving relationships with Reiki, energy, intuition, and ourselves. We reflect on our early experiences as practitioners, including the pressure to follow every instruction perfectly, the uncertainty that can arise when our experiences differ from what we've been taught, and how years of continued practice have transformed our understanding of Reiki.

One...

What if you approached your everyday life with the same curiosity, openness, and intention that you bring to traveling somewhere new? This week, we're exploring something that can make a meaningful difference in how we experience life, recognizing that we're actively participating in it, every single day.

Think about how you prepare for a vacation. You may already be imagining what you'll explore, how you want to feel, and the experiences you're looking forward to having. You're setting a tone before you even arrive. Now imagine approaching your daily life with that same awareness.

How are...

Happy October, beautiful alchemist! This month, we’re exploring the rhythm of relationship…and no, I’m not only talking about romantic relationships. We’re in relationship with everything! This includes our thoughts, emotions, bodies, environments, other people, past experiences, desires…and, of course, ourselves. One of the most interesting aspects of this is recognizing how we are in relationship to all of it.

In this month’s Energy of the Month, we explore the movement from Libra into Scorpio and what these energies can help us recognize about balance, harmony, transformation and the parts of ourselves we’re ready to un...

Happy 13th Birthday, Reiki Radio! You can come celebrate with me online for this month's Activation Circle (download the app), or at the 2nd Annual Awakening Conference! But for now, let's explore your practice, your path...and the energy of September.

Before we get into the energy of this month, I'm also sharing my thoughts on how spiritual and energy-work teachings vary through perspective and how direct practice and personal experience are more important than debating who is right or wrong.

Then we'll cover September’s essence of refinement through Virgo season, the teachings of the My...

Happy July, Alchemist! Get comfortable and let’s reflect on the transition from June’s Gemini-to-Cancer seasons, dancing between mind and emotion, encouraging curiosity, balance, and self-awareness.  

July continues in Cancer (moon-ruled) before shifting into Leo (sun-ruled), highlighting the luminaries and moving us through feelings, into illumination. There will be emphasis on self-nurturing, redefining love/home/family, and consciously managing mind and emotions.   The month’s oracle teacher is the Flight card, building on June’s Lemniscate theme of harmonizing polarities to dissolve self-imposed limits so that we can now take flight.  

Key dates include:

Welcome back to the origins of Reiki Radio’s original focus, applying Reiki and related practices to real life. Interviews will continue only as live “Happy Hour” episodes on Fridays at 4:00 PM Pacific on Reiki Radio’s YouTube channel. 

I'm sharing why I stayed with this work for over 15 years, how Reiki deepened my self-knowledge, expanded my studies (intuition, psychic development, Hermeticism, Akashic records, astrology, etc), and inspired me to help others prioritize their own healing and purpose. 

I'm also reflecting on how we're living in a time of influence, highlighting the traditional term, Reiki Shihan (good examp...

It's the midyear point of a universal year one, focused on re-identification, alignment, authenticity, and rebirth through shedding. After grounding Taurus season, Gemini season invites curiosity, learning, communication, and research while staying methodical. This month’s oracle card is the Major Expression 6, Lemniscate, emphasizing inner dualities (feminine/masculine, intuition/analysis, above/below) and the wisdom of unification.

Key dates include:
June 14th : Gemini (super) New Moon, intentions around mental focus and authentic growth, 
June 19th - Sept 17th: Chiron in Taurus, highlighting healing around safety, security, and values
June 21st: Summer Solstice as the sun mov...

A year ago, Awakening Airwaves began as an idea rooted in connection, curiosity, consciousness, and the desire to create meaningful conversations around spiritual practices. What none of us could have fully anticipated was the incredible community that would grow around it, and TODAY we celebrate our 100th episode together.

Over the last year, Awakening Airwaves has become home to conversations exploring Astrology, Reiki, Tarot and Oracle work, Akashic Records, goddess wisdom, crystals, energetic healing, expanding consciousness, intuitive development, spiritual awakening, and the many ways people are learning to reconnect with themselves more deeply. More than anything, this platform...

In this conversation, Mama Mut Ra-t, a contributor to Mama Ifetayo’s anthology, Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light, shares her story “The Journey of a Generational Cycle Breaker” Her story reflects on early childhood in New Orleans, her mother’s passing when she was eight, being moved to Brooklyn under strict church rules, later learning her father had died, and ultimately reclaiming her freedom and independence. She describes a dark night of the soul in her early 30s after divorce and becoming a “happy, healthy parent”.  

Mut Ra-t is a dedicated advocate for women’s wellness and...

Years after our initial conversation, I reconnect with Tonya Parker, a contributor to “Reiki Heart and Soul,” to discuss how her relationship with Reiki shifted into something she embodies, crystallizing during her 2020 training with Frans Stiene. Tonya shares many inspiring ways of seeing and understanding healing. Her message speaks to the hearts of healers and to the depths of our wounds.

Hello, Alchemist! Here’s your May energy update. We start by reflecting on April’s fiery Aries season as an invitation to pause, acknowledging growth, and integrating lessons learned. Then we explore Taurus season, as fixed earth energy ruled by Venus, emphasizing grounding, sensual presence, stability, self-worth, and financial responsibility. And of course, we look at the month’s numerology and oracle theme: the Teachings card (number 5), highlighting awareness, practice, and expanding into the awareness of being one with All there is.  

Key dates include:
May 1st: Beltane and a Full Moon in Scorpio, shadow work and deep tr...

On this episode, I speak with Jonathan Richardson, a contributor to Ifetayo White’s book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” whose chapter is titled “Footprints.”  

"Unhealed Healers Don't Heal Anything..." - Jonathan Richardson

What happens when you want #Reiki to heal one thing, but what actually starts healing is YOU?!

Jonathan shares how his upbringing and marriage led him down paths of religious and spiritual exploration. His story is incredibly interesting and gives a peek into one person’s journey of recognizing emotional challenges, seeking healing, and the process of awakening to...

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...

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.

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...

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 succes...

In this March 2026 update, Yolanda reflects on a collective sense that what is “for you” is amplifying and encouraging inner illumination. She also draws guidance from The Energetic Alchemist Oracle card “The Breathing Goddess,” emphasizing sacred feminine receptivity and creation from within.

Today we have a conversation with Jonathan Robinson, a certified hypnotherapist and instructor, as well as a Reiki practitioner. He specializes in past life regression hypnotherapy and spiritual hypnotherapy because he’s seen how powerful it is when people finally access the deeper layers of the subconscious mind. In our conversation, Jonathan explains hypnosis as a guided meditation that brings the brain into a relaxed theta state, allowing the subconscious to accept positive suggestions and create change.  

He also shares how reading authors like Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon led him into regression work and emphasizes that clients don...

In this conversation, Yolanda speaks with Frank Arjava Petter, a well-known Reiki teacher, about his life updates, spiritual practices, and the profound changes he has experienced.

He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, staying present, and the interconnectedness of heart-mind in achieving peace and self-awareness.  

They discuss the significance of viewing oneself as whole rather than divided parts, the challenges of the spiritual journey, and the potential for personal transformation to impact broader society. Arjava also touches on his creative e...

We talk a lot about intuitive development, and for most of us, a step-by-step process helps to clarify and understand the ways we personally recognize and translate energy. Eboni Banks, author of, Your Intuitive Nudge: a Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting with Your Intuition, had an interesting experience of finding out that she was clairtangent.  

Through her work, Eboni has found that most Reiki Practitioners are clairtangent but tend to question what they sense and what it all means. Lucky for us, Eboni has generously offered a seven-week clairtangent workshop for the Reiki Radio community! Spaces are limited, s...
