Reiki is often thought of as something that happens on a treatment table. But Reiki is also a spiritual practice, with a beautifully simple philosophy at its heart.

Five precepts. Each beginning with Just for today.

There’s no expectation of perfection. Just a practice of returning to these simple ideas, one day at a time.

In my last post, I talked about finding rest when life won’t let you disappear into a cave.

So what is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle healing practice in which the practitioner serves as a channel for universal life energy. Through light touch or hands held just above the body, this energy is offered where it is needed most, helping the nervous system settle and the body return to balance.

I’m not fixing you.

I’m creating a space for you to reconnect with a source of energy, wisdom, and love that is always available.

Sometimes healing begins with simply remembering it’s there.

The Hermit could retreat to a mountaintop. Most of us have calendars and emails to answer.

While The Hermit reminds us of the importance of reflection and listening inward, insight alone doesn’t always create change. We may recognize a pattern, understand where it came from, and know exactly what we’d like to do differently. Yet somehow, we still find ourselves stuck.

That’s one of the reasons I combine tarot and Reiki. The cards often illuminate what is quietly asking for our attention. Reiki offers an opportunity to rest with that awareness—not by thinking harder, but by creating space for the mind to quiet and the body to soften.

Sometimes the deepest shifts don’t come from discovering something new. They come from creating enough space for what we already know to settle in.

The Hermit is one of the most misunderstood cards in the tarot.

It isn’t about isolation. It’s about making the conscious choice to step away from the noise for a little while—to reflect, to contemplate, and to reconnect with yourself.

Life has a way of pulling our attention outward. Work, family, responsibilities, the constant stream of information… after a while, it becomes difficult to hear our own inner voice.

I’ve found that some of the most meaningful insights don’t arrive when we’re searching for answers. They come when we finally become still enough to listen.

That’s one of the reasons I begin my sessions with tarot and then move into Reiki.

The cards often shine a gentle light on what is ready for our attention. Reiki creates an opportunity to rest with that awareness, allowing the mind to quiet and the body to soften.

Sometimes clarity isn’t something we find.

Sometimes it’s something we remember when everything else grows quiet.

Insight to Integration — Part 3 of 6

07/30/2026

One of the reasons tarot has endured for hundreds of years is that it tells a story we all recognize.

The Fool begins the journey with openness and curiosity. Along the way come moments of joy and uncertainty, love and loss, courage and doubt. We make mistakes, learn difficult lessons, change direction, and discover strengths we didn't know we possessed.

The final card in the Major Arcana is The World. To me, it represents those moments when life seems to come into focus. Not because everything is perfect, but because we've integrated what we've lived through. There is a sense of completion, of wholeness, before the next chapter begins.

Perhaps that's why these cards continue to resonate across generations. They remind us that whatever season we're in, we're still moving, still learning, and still becoming.

Next: Why insight, by itself, isn't always enough.

Most people think of fortune telling when they see a deck of tarot cards. I don't.

When I look at a spread of cards, I see a mirror of the human experience. I see joy and uncertainty, courage and fear, loss, hope, resilience, and growth. The cards don't tell us who we are or what our future holds. They simply offer a way to recognize where we are in this moment.

For me, that's where healing begins—not with prediction, but with recognition.

Over the next few weeks, I'd like to share why tarot became an important part of my Reiki practice, and why I believe these two practices work so beautifully together.

Next: Why these 78 cards have continued to resonate with people for hundreds of years.

This resonates deeply with me.

It beautifully captures something I hope people experience during every Reiki session: a return to that home.

You get there, and somewhere along the way you realize you’ve stopped rushing.

Maybe that’s one of the quiet gifts of being in the woods.

I’ve come to believe we’re always responding to energy—whether it’s the quiet of a forest or the calm that can arise during a Reiki session.

Wishing you a peaceful moment today
