A Reiki session isn't just what happens when your client gets there. Your full set up and tear down are essential elements of your Reiki practice. I have taken the liberty of recording mine. It looks pretty ordinary, set up table, put on sheet, turn on music, and go. But what am I doing energetically to prepare the room, to prepare myself both as safe space to receive someone and all their wonderfulness? How am I increasing my opportunity to flow energetically, to move my own schtuff out of the way? And on the other side, how am I sealing off the space, adding gratitude, compassion, and love to the space?

Last Thursday, it was Reiki Night at the hospital for oncology fighters, survivors, and caregivers. Come set up with me!💜

Hello and welcome to The Reiki Room! 🌿 I’m Laura Newberry-Yokley, your resident Reiki master teacher, and I’m so excited to invite you into this warm, intentional learning lounge—a space to receive reiki, learn the foundations, practice your skills, and connect with others in a supportive reiki circle. My intention for this space is to create a calm, nurturing environment where you can relax, grow, and deepen your energetic awareness. Whether you’re new to reiki or have been practicing for years, there’s a place for you here to explore, learn, and connect. I can’t wait to meet you all, share this journey, and see the magic that unfolds when we come together in a circle of healing. 💫 Feel free to introduce yourself, share your experience with reiki, or tell us what brought you here!

I am reporting in from my local cancer support place where I serve on the board and am also their resident Reiki Master Teacher. We will be working on all things Reiki, the clinical, the theoretical, the practical, and we will learn my specific lineage and personal practice and protocols.
