Many psychic mediums know how to open to Spirit ,but few are ever taught how to close their energy afterward. In this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast™, Courtney Dawson sits down with Reiki Master Teachers Stephany Brown and Jennifer Quick to talk about the missing link in mediumship: energetic maintenance. They explain how Usui Reiki helps psychic mediums: ✨ Identify what energy is yours, what belongs to your client, and what's from Spirit. 🌿 Use self-Reiki before and after readings to clear residual emotion and nervous-system overload. 💫 Keep the channel steady so your evidence from Spirit comes through accurately. 🕊 Set energetic boundaries that hold ,without relying on crystals or protection rituals that don't last. You'll also hear how Reiki Level 1 for Psychic Mediums, a live four-week certification through The Connected Spirit School™, teaches mediums to stay clear, balanced, and emotionally available long-term. This conversation will change the way you think about self-care as a medium , not as a luxury, but as part of professional integrity.   🪶 Connect with Courtney: Website 📣 Reiki Level 1 for Psychic Mediums - February 19, 25, March 5, 12, 2026 Mediumship Mastery Development Circle Developing Mediums Mini-Readings - February 26,2026 Tickets $20 CDN  

In this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast™, Courtney sits down with Dr. Lotte Valentine, creator of Kindraya™ Ancestral Healing, to explore how inherited lineage patterns shape our emotional, physical, and spiritual lives. This grounded conversation focuses on Kindraya™'s three integrated layers of awareness — cognitive, somatic, and superconscious — and how healing unfolds when the body is treated as an archive of ancestral memory. Dr. Lotte introduces the LIGHT Mapping System™, a framework that identifies five core ancestral wounds carried across generations, helping people understand what they may be holding that isn't personally theirs. Together, they discuss why some patterns persist despite therapy or spiritual work, how ancestral healing can occur without reliving trauma, and why intuition and safety are central to this approach. The episode also explores what inspired Dr. Lotte to bring this work to The Shift Network at this moment in time.   Join Dr.Lotte's FREE online event Tuesday, February 3, Healing Inherited Patterns Through the KindrayaTM Method: Activate Superconscious Senses to Transform Ancestral Wounds   Website https://drlotte.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.lottevalentin/?hl=en Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DrLotteValentin Science with Soul https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-lotte-science-with-soul/id1536301986 https://open.spotify.com/show/6bjMbz2AG4zaFLWvdezioS 🪶 Connect with Courtney: Website Reiki Level 1 for Psychic Mediums - February 19, 25, March 5, 12, 2026 Mediumship Mastery Development Circle Developing Mediums Mini-Readings - February 26,2026 Tickets $20 CDN
