Probably the hardest episode I've had to record because in this episode, I reflect on the profound impact of grief, particularly in relation to the loss of my dad five years ago. I discuss the importance of emotional honesty and the challenges of navigating grief in a society that often encourages surface-level interactions. I share my personal experiences with loss, the role of Reiki in end-of-life care, and the healing power of emotional expression.

I also emphasize the need for support and understanding during times of grief, advocating for a more open dialogue about the complexities of loss and healing.

You also get an exclusive from my upcoming book of short channeled poems. Enjoy!
Disclaimer - The sound is a bit weird as I forgot to check the echo and audio when I recorded this episode for the third time - a girl was tired and emotional - so be nice!!

Key Takeaways:

Grief is often not openly discussed, leading to surface-level conversations.
Emotional honesty is crucial in dealing with grief.
Time does not heal; it allows us to adapt to the pain.
Reiki can provide comfort and healing during end-of-life transitions.
Everyone grieves differently; there is no right or wrong way.
The experience of losing a parent creates a unique bond among those who have experienced it.
Navigating grief during a pandemic adds additional layers of complexity.
It's important to allow oneself to feel emotions fully.
Support from others can be unpredictable during times of grief.
Healing modalities like Reiki can aid in processing grief.

In this episode of The 111 Approach podcast, I discuss the concept of the New Year, challenging the traditional January 1st date and advocating for a more natural alignment with the lunar and seasonal cycles.

In this episode, I reflect on turning 40 and how I realized I was just repeating a pattern from a decade ago. I also share some personal anecdotes and insights about women's resilience, and the societal structures that impact women's lives in light of International Women's Day.

I also highlight the importance of awareness and how it's ok to get into a pattern but becoming aware of it is the first step into making changes for it. I also touch on honoring mothers and understanding the cyclical nature of women's lives.

The episode concludes with a meditation focused on self-acceptance and gratitude.

PSA - I forgot to finish off saying at the start of the episode - I am not against rebranding and changing outdated terminology but I think it's safe to say I am not trying to shame anyone[s body image by using the word "fat" in the way I did at the start of this episode. I did forget to finish my story about the Fat Controller's name change because I do agree with the fact there is no need to name a character after their body image!

I did warn you all that my thought train goes off on a tangent sometimes and I forget to come back to what I was saying!!!

Anywayyyyy....

In the inaugural (why does word always remind me of Trump now??!!) episode of the 111 Approach Podcast, host Lakhmi shares her personal journey from a skeptical scientist to an Intuitive Reiki Master.

She discusses growing up being able to perceive energies that weren't visible to most people, her background in science and the medical field, her introduction to Reiki, and how it transformed her understanding of energy healing.

Lakhmi emphasizes the importance of self-care and wellness, offering listeners insights into the power of energy and the body's ability to heal itself.

The episode concludes with a 1 minute healing meditation, inviting listeners to connect with their true selves.

She has also realized that she has mixed in writing in the third person and first person - but hey - this is what you signed up for... the randomness and quirkiness will prevail throughout! She is also wondering does anyone even read the show notes?? Let me know - remember to download, rate, review and subscribe! Tag me on socials - @the111approach
