What keeps us from being fully present?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm, I sit down with Reiki Master and Vortex Healing practitioner/teacher Lorraine Goldbloom to explore the energetic bodies, the chakra system, the Sacred Heart, and the conditioning that shapes our lives.Together, we discuss the web of creation that connects all life, why so many of our deepest patterns remain hidden from awareness, and how healing begins when we recognize what has been unconsciously driving our thoughts, emotions, and actions with fresh insights into presence, freedom, and remembering who you truly are.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected]______Get in Touch with Lorraine:Website: Lorraine GoldbloomUpcoming Events:Finding Presence – Holding Space — Lorraine GoldbloomCall to Freedom — Lorraine GoldbloomUpcoming classes:VortexHealing | Omega InstituteFoundational — Lorraine GoldbloomSocial Media:(1) FacebookInstagram______A special thanks goes out to Music from Pixabay for the intro music and to Nate Miller for the meditation music. Register for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube [email protected]

When we listen to animals with an open heart, they often show us something astonishing:They don't see us the way we see ourselves.They don't define themselves the way we sometimes define them.And they don't always experience their lives through the story we have placed upon them.This Reiki Share explores the wisdom animals have shared with me through 16 years of animal communication—especially around beauty, dignity, victimhood, love, presence, healing, and the soul contracts between humans and animals.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected]______A special thanks goes out to Music from Pixabay for the intro music and to Nate Miller for the meditation music. Register for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube [email protected]

Can we impact the flow of Reiki?  And what is involved in Reiki for end-of-life care?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm, I sit down with Reiki practitioner, teacher, and Michelle to explore marma points—the ancient energetic gateways from the Ayurvedic tradition that may help direct and enhance the flow of Reiki.We discuss how working with marma points can support grounding, intuition, emotional healing, and a deeper connection to the energy.We also explore Michelle's work as an end-of-life caregiver–things like presence, compassion, touch, and the sacred role Reiki can play at the end of life. And what can the dying teach us about living, healing, and what truly matters?______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected]______Michele Denis has been teaching and studying Reiki since 1996.

Horses have been part of our lives for millennia, helping us plow fields and transporting us to everything from errands to parties to war. And they have ignited our imaginations.Their presence, their grace, that connection we have with them - what is that? They live on grass.And while we have needed them, they don’t need us.  Yet, at a time when they are no longer needed for practical purposes, there are still 110-120 million horses in the world today. Why is that?  And why have they decided to be part of our lives? Are they part of our spiritual evolution? Do they have wisdom for us that can change the way we show up in the world?We think they do. Horses show up without vanity or agenda and can see into the depths of our being. That can be intimidating. In this special Reiki Share and podcast episode, I’m joined by the co-creators of the Horse Wisdom Card Deck — collaborators and artists, Helen Michaels and Joe Ann Kent — as we pull back the curtain on the creation of this deeply transformational deck.Together, we explore:How the horses guided the creation of the deckThe spiritual nature of horses and leadershipThe Divine Feminine and how it is ready to come forwardThe deeper meanings behind some of the cardsHow Reiki, intuition, and animal communication shaped the processWhy this deck arrived nowWhat the horses may be trying to teach humanity in this momentWe also drew cards live during the episode for the messages for our listeners and community.  And we will ask for your input - once you experience the energy of the deck - on the name of the deck.If you are ready to dive into deeper authenticity, authority, intuition, healing, and connection - join us, and gather with the wisdom of the herd.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected] special thanks goes out to Music from Pixabay for the intro music and to Nate Miller for the meditation music. Register for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube [email protected]

So many Reiki practitioners reach a point where teaching is the natural next step… and just as many stop right there.In this conversation, Karen Caig and I discuss what really happens when you move from practitioner to teacher.This is about the moment you realize you have something to share—and everything that comes up when you consider stepping into that role.Why do experienced practitioners hold back?What does it actually mean to be “ready”?And how do you move forward in a way that feels aligned with Reiki and with yourself?Karen shares the inspiration behind her new course, designed to support Reiki practitioners to teach with clarity, confidence, and integrity. Together, we look at the patterns, beliefs, and questions that show up at this stage—and how to work with them, rather than around them.If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I ready to teach Reiki?” this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and help you see what’s possible next.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected]______Karen Caig has been an LRMT with the International Center for Reiki Training since 2020.

Is the story of Reiki still unfolding?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm™, I’m joined by Su Mach'ado — Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training, lawyer, historian, and visionary behind a recent international Reiki summit in Brazil that is helping to bring new awareness and connection to the global Reiki community.Su’s journey into Reiki is as fascinating as her work within it. With a background in law, she brings a unique lens of discernment, structure, and inquiry to the spiritual path — qualities that now serve her deeply in her role as one of Reiki’s modern historians.Together, we explore what it means to be a “historian” in a living spiritual practice — one that continues to evolve as new research, translations, and discoveries emerge. We discuss recent insights into Reiki’s origins, including contributions from researchers such as Justin Stein, and how these findings are helping us better understand the roots of the system while honoring its spiritual essence.We also talk about Su’s beautiful work in Brazil — creating a Reiki summit that brings practitioners together across languages, cultures, and traditions, expanding the reach and accessibility of Reiki in profound ways.This episode is a bridge between past and present…between tradition and discovery…and between the roots of Reiki and the future it is still becoming.If you’ve ever felt called to understand Reiki more deeply — not just as a practice, but as a lineage — this conversation will open something new within you.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:[email protected]______Su Mach'ado is a Brazilian Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) and Historian for the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), and founder of Centro de Treinamento de Reiki – Felicidade.

In a world that feels polarized, where conflict and war dominate the headlines, it’s easy to feel powerless… or pulled into fear.But there is another way.In this special Mother’s Day episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore the Divine Feminine response to war and conflict—which is profoundly powerful, not passive.The Divine Feminine teaches us to hold steady in love, to remain grounded in truth, and to elevate consciousness rather than react from fear.Drawing on the teachings of David R.
