172: How Reiki Helps You Regulate and Reconnect | Chiquita Davis

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected… isn’t something you need to fix, but something you need to regulate?

In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman welcomes back Chiquita Davis, founder of Embrace Your Journey and Reiki Master Teacher, for a deeper conversation on Reiki energy healing, nervous system regulation, and what it actually means to come back into your body.

Chiquita breaks down what Reiki really is, why more people are turning to holistic healing right now, and how energy work helps clear emotional weight, trauma, and stress that live beyond the mind.

This conversation moves beyond theory and into lived experience, exploring how fear, disconnection, and overstimulation impact the body, and how practices like Reiki can help you feel grounded, present, and safe again.

About the Podcast

Mystical Sisterhood
Mystical Sisterhood is a celebration of women interested in connection to themselves, community, and the Universe. If you are a woman seeking conscious conversations on modern spirituality, understanding your soul’s journey, contemplating new directions in life, and mystical practices, you are in the right place!

The weekly podcast is hosted by Maureen Spielman, a Transformational Life Coach, trained in the Art and Practice of Spiritual Psychology, as well as Integrative Wellness and Conscious Parenting.

Maureen boldly invites the questions we only feel safe enough to ask in the community of other curious women ready to shift the current paradigm and soar. These curated conversations marry what we think of as our mainstream lives with the mystical.

Each episode infuses everyday women with the strength and clarity to rise above the self-limiting beliefs we have all heard on repeat in our heads so we can step into the limitless possibilities for shining and thriving in this lifetime.

Through interviews with healers, intuitives, and other courageous women doing the work of developing our inner lives, Maureen explores how to leave the lack dance behind, reclaim our worthiness, honor our intuition, and let the light in so we can more clearly see the light in others (and ourselves).

If you want to join this global movement of healers and seekers creating a new paradigm convened by an authentic woman who embodies the transformation practices she promotes, subscribe and listen to the Mystical Sisterhood podcast today.
