After CrossFit today, I spent about 45 minutes talking with one of our coaches about fitness, longevity, meditation, and Reiki. He asked an interesting question: “How can I bring Reiki into the gym?” We discussed how athletes sometimes struggle through demanding workouts like today’s thrusters, burpees over the bar, and assault bike. My response? It starts with intention—before you even arrive at the gym. As an athlete: Before leaving home, review the workout and establish your intention. Are you aiming to complete the entire metabolic conditioning workout within the time cap, or is there a particular skill you want to improve? Consider the weights, repetitions, and movements. During warm-up, assess how your body responds and adjust accordingly. Most importantly, stay in your own lane. Your workout isn’t about matching someone else’s speed, strength, or endurance. It’s about honoring the intention you established for yourself. As a coach: Intention begins before the athletes arrive, too. Review who’s attending. Are they beginners, intermediate, or advanced athletes? Does the space accommodate everyone starting together, or would staggered movements or separate heats create a better experience? Coaching with intention means understanding who’s in front of you, not simply delivering the workout on the board. The connection to Reiki? Awareness. Intention. Presence. These are principles we can bring into movement, training, recovery, and everyday life. What would change in your daily activities if you established your intention before beginning?

King Sutton became the star of my latest Instagram reel on @ReiQiArchitect! 👑🐶💚 He demonstrated the simple art of finding morning sunlight, getting grounded, and being present. After a weekend of collecting likes, attracting admirers, and building his mother’s brand, His Majesty has retired to his preferred accommodations: curled up in blankets, surrounded by pillows, right next to Mama. Not a care in the world. 🤣💖 His Majesty’s philosophy: Find your sunlight. Get grounded. Be present. Attract abundance. Take a nap.

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already met him. 😂 Now I’m bringing the experiment here. The protocol: 1. Set your intention — something you intend to do, have, become or create. 2. When doubt appears, notice it and dismiss it within 5 seconds. 3. Then immediately spend 25 continuous seconds embodying the feeling of the fulfilled intention—what it feels like after it has already happened. 4. Every time doubt returns, repeat the protocol. 5. Keep repeating until the doubt no longer appears. That last part matters. We’re not trying it once and calling it done. We’re observing what happens as we repeatedly interrupt doubt and return to the fulfilled state. Try it. Notice what you notice. Then report back here. 🤓
