Research: Meditation is Comparable to Some Medication for Anxiety and Depression
June 25, 2026
We often hear about what people gain from Reiki practice, but what about what it costs?
In this Questions From a Hat episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, we’re turning the conversation in a different direction. Through a series of surprise questions pulled from our hats, we explore the sacrifices, challenges, fears, and unexpected realities that can come with a long-term Reiki practice.
We discuss:
โจ The emotional and mental intensity of spiritual growth
โจ Why some of us still hesitate to say “I’m a Reiki teacher”
โจ Taboo topics in the Reiki community
โจ Leaving conventional careers and questioning stability
โจWestern and Japanese Reiki misconceptions
โจ Identity shifts, uncertainty, and transformation
โจ Whether we’d choose this path all over again
This conversation is honest, vulnerable, reflective, and sprinkled with laughter along the way.
