Vlad Dimancea “When you offer Reiki to others or to yourself, always begin by healing the soul.” …my teacher must have said this a hundred times. The Reiki self-treatment is the core of our practice. But healing the soul completes everything else. For a long time, I didn’t understand why. Why start with the soul, especially when … Read more
When I was about 15, I started drawing maps of places I wanted to visit. I filled them with as much detail as I could manage at that age, then pictured myself walking those streets and meeting the locals. I had a worn-out world atlas too (I still own it), and I’d trace the routes … Read more
My sister lived in the United States for a few years. She studied medicine, and worked as a pharmacist in New York. But she always had a hard time connecting with the people in her community. It wasn’t the recent immigrants, but the individuals who have been there for generations. I know this sounds strange, … Read more
Reiki works only if you practice. Counterintuitive. I know. But so many practitioners forget the value of consistency and never grasp the full benefits of energy healing. It’s not their fault. Life gets in the way for all of us. When daily responsibilities drain our energy, a full self-treatment feels like a stretch. So on … Read more
Thoughts are felt throughout the entire body. I was around 14 when I began perceiving my mother’s emotions. The schism between my parents began long before that, but it wasn’t until early teens that I began sensing her… feelings. She was exhausted from the responsibilities she had to deal with as a single parent, and … Read more
“What is my personal mission?” As we walk this path called “life,” we tend to realize there’s more to be discovered (and built) than what we have been told.

Your level of emotional healing dictates your spiritual path. Our present life is the result of our past experiences and how we perceived them. Every interaction leaves a mark. And over time, these marks shape our personality, our reactions, and the way we move through the world. Most of these experiences are harmless, some are … Read more
We are all unique individuals. We receive the attunement, practice Reiki faithfully, and experience this journey in our own way. But we also look left and right to observe. We see some practitioners crying after the attunement and describe waves of heat in their palms, while others sitting through their first self-treatments… feeling nothing at … Read more
Your energetic anatomy has edges you might not know of. You do the work through the self-treatment, you cleanse your chakras and take care of yourself outside the energy spectrum. And still, bugging patterns keep coming back. So, naturally, you wonder if you’re doing something wrong. If you’re missing elements in your healing efforts. Or … Read more
We are duality within unity. Inside every person lives a masculine and a feminine energy, each one carrying a healed expression and a wounded one. The healed feminine nurtures and creates from peace. The healed masculine protects and leads with discipline. But when either side is affected, the balance breaks. We were taught to ignore … Read more
