EPISODE 71: DIVE INTO REIKI WITH GWEN ALLISON

Gwen Allison is the founder of My Spiritual Butterfly and a CHNC-verified Usui Reiki Master Teacher, trained in both Eastern and Western lineages.
Her spiritual path began over 15 years ago, sparked by teachings like The Law of Attraction, The Secret, and the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. But like many of us, her practice deepened through lived experience — a divorce, the loss of loved ones, and a sudden redundancy that asked her to rebuild from the inside out.
In 2008, she became a Transformational Life Coach, supporting women over 40 in reconnecting with their purpose and creating lives that feel more aligned and fulfilling.
She began practicing Reiki in 2015 and has since taught all levels, led workshops and retreats, and developed a Professional Reiki Diploma that allows practitioners to work in UK hospitals.
At the heart of her work is a simple intention: to make Reiki something natural and accessible — something that belongs in everyday life, not just special spaces.
Here is her website, her Youtube channel and her Instagram.
And here is the link to her monthly class.

Nathalie Jaspar, the founder of Dive Into Reiki, is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience. She’s a graduate teacher from the International House of Reiki, led by world-renowned Reiki master Frans Stiene. She also trained with the Center for True Health and the International Center for Reiki. To gain an even deeper understanding of Reiki practice, Nathalie went to Japan to practice Zen Buddhism at the Chokai-san International Zendo. She is the author of Reiki as a Spiritual Practice: an Illustrated Guide, Reiki Healing Handbook (Rockridge Press), and Infinite Light: Conversation with 21 Reiki masters and practitioners.

EPISODE 69: SHIKOKU PILGRIMAGE PART 3 - COMMUNITY AND JOY

In this episode, we visit a few mre sacred temples on Japan’s legendary 88-temple route: the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Guided by the spirit of Kōbō Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, pilgrims walk through misty mountains, quiet villages, and visit temples to cleanse and reconnect to their inner light.

Here is a link to a pdf with the images of the temples.

I am hoping to take you there and experience some of what I lived in my ten days visiting temples and attending rituals.
