Best of Reiki Lifestyle Podcast: Featuring Ann Baldwin, PhD

What is Mouse Vision? Mouse Vision brings your inner awareness down to the level of daily life, and a grounded way of perceiving your life through detail, presence, and intuitive timing. Reiki reveals what matters now and how to move forward with clarity and steadiness. Mouse Vision is especially supportive when life feels full, attention feels scattered, or you sense movement but are unsure of timing.  Mouse Vision works hand in hand with Eagle Vision by translating expanded awareness into grounded action you can apply right away. This video covers: • How Mouse Vision brings clarity through detail and presence • Why grounded awareness is a form of intuition • How Reiki filters distraction and highlights what matters now • Recognizing patterns, timing, and resources already present • Understanding your next step through practical perception This is Part 3 of the Eagle Mouse Vision 5 week series. Each week builds on the last, guiding you from expanded awareness, into grounded clarity, and toward Inner Vision. Watch the next video in this series to continue into Inner Vision and integrate what you see from above with what you experience on the ground.

This Best of episode revisits one of our most meaningful conversations with Ann Linda Baldwin, PhD, a scientist, Reiki Master, and pioneer in mind-body research. Ann's work offers a clear explanation of how Reiki supports physiological balance, emotional wellbeing, and heart-centered awareness. Ann is a Professor Emerita of Physiology at the University of Arizona and Director of Mind-Body-Science. She holds advanced degrees in Physics and Physiology, is a HeartMath certified trainer, TRE provider, Bio-Well level 2 certified, and an Equine Assisted Learning practitioner. With over 125 scientific publications and decades of federal research funding, she bridges Reiki energy healing with measurable scientific outcomes. Ann's book, The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice, is a practical guide for understanding how the vagus nerve influences stress, resilience, and mind-body function. She explains how practices like Reiki, breathwork, and heart coherence naturally support vagal regulation. Her work helps practitioners understand why Reiki often brings deep calm, improved emotional clarity, and a sense of connection. Episode Highlights • How Reiki affects the vagus nerve and the stress response  • Scientific markers of relaxation and heart coherence  • The relationship between energy healing and emotional regulation  • How Ann measures the biofield through her research  • Reiki with animals and equine-assisted healing Ann's perspective gives practitioners language that blends science with spirituality. Her research helps explain the experiences people notice in Reiki sessions, making this a foundational conversation for anyone wanting deeper insight into how Reiki works.

If you have been sensing movement in your life without a clear view of where it is leading, Eagle Vision offers the clarity you have been waiting for. In this discussion we explore how Reiki lifts your awareness into a higher perspective where direction, timing, purpose, and the next step become easier to understand. This session opens Week 2 of our five week Eagle Mouse Vision series and prepares you for the Eagle Vision Guided Journey that will be released in the next video. Eagle Vision expands perception so you can see the wider landscape of your life. From this view you recognize themes, patterns, strengths, and long range opportunities that are not visible from the ground. Reiki supports this shift by lifting your consciousness through the Reiki symbols and the Bridge of Light and revealing the soul level movement taking place in your path. In this teaching we explore: • How expanded perception creates clarity • What higher awareness reveals about purpose and timing • How Reiki shows the patterns shaping your journey • Why Eagle Vision helps you make steady, aligned decisions • The role of blessing energy, personal perspective, and intuition • How to identify the questions you did not know to ask You will also learn awareness practices you can use throughout your week to stay connected to higher perception, including ways to view your life from above, how to sense momentum, and how Reiki illuminates the direction that feels supported. The Eagle Vision Guided Journey will be in the next YouTube video. The journey lifts your awareness into the eagle's realm through the Bridge of Light so you can see your path behind, around, and ahead with clarity and spaciousness. If you feel called to develop your intuitive gifts, strengthen your Reiki skills, and understand your path with greater purpose, we invite you to join us in our upcoming trainings.

This week's conversation opens a gateway into the deeper roots of Reiki. Kenloch Cheung joins us again to share stories from Hong Kong, Australia, and Mount Kurama, along with his remarkable insights into the origins and meaning of the Usui DKM. This episode offers a rare blend of history, philosophy, and lived experience. In this inspiring conversation, Colleen and Robyn welcome back Reiki teacher and ICRT Licensed Reiki Master Teacher, Kenloch Cheung, joining us from Melbourne after his recent move from Hong Kong. Kenloch bridges Eastern and Western Reiki communities with fluency in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and his teaching reflects a blend of technique, spiritual understanding, and practical everyday Reiki. We explore what it has been like for Kenloch to relocate to Australia, where Reiki is widely recognized and integrated into daily wellness culture. He shares heartwarming stories about meeting Reiki-aware strangers on mountains in Switzerland, having conversations with immigration officers about Reiki, and settling into a new rhythm of life shaped by self-care, peace, and personal health. The highlight of this episode is Kenloch's detailed teaching on DKM, including: The historical and cultural origins of the symbol Insights from Mount Kurama's prayer to Sonten How the kanji themselves illuminate the DKM deeper meaning The relationship between the symbol, the sun, the moon, and the earth Connections with universal laws, duality, spiritual understanding, and enlightenment Colleen and Robyn share their own experiences with DKM as Reiki practitioners and teachers, including its role in healing belonging, unity, and the alignment of spiritual and human selves. Together, they weave modern Reiki practice with ancient context, bringing new understanding to DKM symbol and its relevance today. Kenloch also speaks about hosting William Rand in Hong Kong, teaching multilingual classes, and his plans for English-language courses in Australia. His joy for community, sharing Reiki, and living a grounded, healthy life shines throughout this conversation.

Susan's journey is both inspiring and powerful. After a long career in the fashion industry, she experienced burnout that completely changed the course of her life. Reiki came into her world thanks to her young daughter, and it quickly became a daily practice that she often says saved her life. Now a Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master, certified breathwork teacher, and author of Breathwork: Breathe for Change, Susan combines Reiki, meditation, and coaching in her holistic method. She's also the pioneer who brought Breathwork to France, creating her Breathe in Paris® Method that combines coaching, meditation, Reiki, and Breathwork. Her work has reached thousands of people through retreats, corporate events, a book, her teacher training school, and even guiding 2,700 people in a collective Breathwork session at the Grand Rex theater in Paris. In this inspiring episode, Susan shares: ●      Her journey from burnout to spiritual awakening through Reiki. ●      How breathwork and Reiki complement one another to heal body, mind, and spirit. ●      The story behind creating Breathe in Paris and her international school. ●      Why authentic expression, self-trust, and daily Reiki practice continue to guide her life. ●      Insights into her one-woman show blending storytelling, humor, and healing. This heartfelt conversation reminds us that transformation often begins when we stop proving ourselves to the world and start listening to the wisdom within. Susan is a visionary, a teacher, and someone who has touched so many lives with her courage and creativity. I'm so grateful to call her a friend, and I can't wait for you to hear her story.
