Sending love to ally my trans siblings today and everyday! #TransDayofVisibility
It's not clean cut, but it's honest, and as this trillion dollar industry (🫠) continues to boom (insert analogies for dangers of overgrowth) - transparency and accountability are imperative.
and I'm also prepared to talk on that in ways that are factual while respecting their wishes and a client's right and need to know how I work and who is repping *me* as a practitioner!!
I also say this as someone who has learned from ppl who are not "professionals", who need to not be named for their safety & protection, who don't come with westernized certifications or websites or neat descriptions of services-
I say this as someone with lots of exp/mentors, but i wouldn't rec all of my teachers tbh. And I'm prepared to speak on that & any controversial training or sensitive topics that are rampant in this industry (think: cultural appropriation, so-called "shamanism", new modalities w/o lineages etc)
Imho, I'd rec a look into said certifications/institutions: do u feel aligned or need further info/clarity? Ex: someone trained to be a party clown, but if their training was geared towards adult parties (nothing wrong with that!)- u'd likely have more ?s before hiring them for a kids party. No?
If ur seeking/receiving services from any kind of practitioner- whether in the unregulated world of woo/spiritual care, or regulated industries (massage, counselling): u are absolutely entitled (and encouraged!) to ask for credentials. INTERVIEW YOUR PROVIDER, u are, after all, hiring them. (🧵)
My audhd brain hates squishing things into tiny text boxes 🫠. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm crapping on energy work that isnt reiki- not at all! I know some reiki practitioners do this.
Yes, part of the debate seems to be saying reiki, specifically, is not needed bc there are other forms of energy work. I don't doubt that for a second. But im seeing a lot of ppl saying they do energy work w/o training or certs etc, and therefore reiki is a scam.
Rejoice in your awakening and keep hold of your honest humility. Atone with gratitude. Uplift voices and show up for those who've been in deeper need for too long (mutual aid has been a thing for lifetimes, is it your time to check in?). We are always stronger when gathered intergenerationally.
Who've been living and working this for much, much, much longer than you. They have tools and community and teachings. Hard earned lessons, invaluable wisdom, and also? Are owed respect and so much more. I'm not saying go demand their labour- im saying:
I truly hope that those in the imperial core (USA) who are waking to their conditions remember that they are not the first to awaken nor to call out the injustices.
Please: find the elders (some might be younger than you in age), find the Disabled, the Black and Indigenous women, the Queers (🧵)
But at the end of the day: I think it is ill advised to both practice and/or receive energy work that has no lineage. Even a recent lineage should move slowly imho. Ngl, I'm a lil concerned with where this might be headed, but I'll stay cautiously curious for now.
I want to hold curiosity here as to why and what instigated this. I think there are usually multiple truths, or at least; I'm a big fan of nuance. So I'm sure there are perspectives I'd agree with, but I'm also cautious & suspicious about the origins and pathway of this thinking.
What I'm seeing is ppl want to disregard the symbols & Usui teachings entirely. There's critique that the method unnecessarily gate kept smthg that is universal, that X,Y,Z group did before Usui "invented" it, that no one can be taught how to work energy... there's more, but this is what sticks out
Am i understanding correctly that you sought reiki for this bad situ but didn't feel any benefit, then the situ was resolved after a cord cutting session with a psychic? Had u had reiki before, w the same person?
There seems to be a running debate on whether usui reiki is necessary or useful, and whether training and certifying in reiki is or has ever been necessary.
Im curious what instigated this discussion and what's driving the different views.
Poster with collaged images and text that says i am now booking April sessions. Sliding fee scale and 4 free spots for IBPoC. The image shows a retro illustration of a femme person sitting in a bench with a rose in their mouth and eyes closed. They wear a black dress with white spots. Two realistic eucalyptus leaves are in either side of them.
My calendar for April is now open. Read about me, my services, and pricing at the link up top! I work remotely, offer a sliding scale fee and free spots every month for specific groups. This month i have 4 free spots for people of the global majority/IBPoc. #reiki #psychicmedium #spiritualguidance

Just one reason I dislike the needless and unhealthy daylight 'savings' time change. Checking all my regular time-zone friends, fam, and clients 🫠😵💫🤪
This isn't my personal account so idk how i ended up w a bunch of followers who aren't looking for psychic services but apparently are developing further-left-than-liberal takes in things... but, cool! Hit me up for an affordable (and CAD) energy healing, animal Communication, mediumship etc sesh!
Feel free to add me! Unfortunately, I haven't found many others have made the transition to bluesky yet. Kinda surprised by this but hopefully the numbers grow in due time.

For settlers, it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of colonialism.

I'm running a workshop tomorrow all about grounding for Spiritually open people. I'm excited for the conversations and practices we'll be getting into! Curious, if you're reading this, what are some of your favourite ways to stay grounded and aligned? #Grounding #PsychicSky #SpiritualAwakening
Exactly! Unfortunately I see both scammers *and* ppl with abilities (not equating that to skill) do this. Some are just lacking guidance, mentorship, & grounded experience. And some are little more nefarious.
Absolutely. My concern is that so many ppl are vulnerable to these scammers, which isn't to shame ppl who get tricked! I want them to know it's not ok for any practitioner to do this, not ever!
It's definitely possible. I know many friends on IG had this happen to them, and it's really awful. I can see her account has recently posted relevant posts, so it's hard to say. I debated not naming the account, but there are just too many ppl likely to be tricked :(
