Maureen Spielman: 00:00:49

Okay, welcome back to mystical sisterhood. This is your host,

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:53

Maureen Spielman. Today, I'm really excited because I'm here

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:57

with my Reiki practitioner, a phrase that I probably at one

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:02

time never knew I'd say, Chiquita Davis. So welcome

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:06

Chiquita. Chiquita is a second degree Reiki master teacher and

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:12

practitioner. She is part owner of awaken your spirit and

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:17

embrace your journey Healing Center in Oak Park, Illinois for

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:21

the last 11 years. She uses Reiki and I'm going to let her

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:25

go all into this, but to help stimulate a change in

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:29

consciousness and the energy field to ignite the body's

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:32

innate self healing abilities. I want to say thank you so much

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:39

for being here. And just let the audience know, I never had done

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:45

Reiki I had heard of it. And it was when I was diagnosed with

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:50

breast cancer, that they the doctors had said, Okay, we

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:54

recommend chemotherapy. And I was searching for alternative

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:00

ways that I could possibly sort of alleviate the side effects of

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:06

what I was going through. And friend recommended you Chiquita.

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:11

And so I came down to your studio. And just as soon as I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:19

entered the space, it was such a warm and welcoming space. And I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:24

always love that you have a chalkboard out with like, what I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:28

was thinking is a message of unconditional love. That's how I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:33

register it, just, you know, in the window of your studio, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:37

then just walking in, to learn about Reiki to experience the

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:44

energy healing. So for me, I've always done this experientially,

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:51

and you know, we've had nice conversations. But I think a lot

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:54

of people out there don't really know about Reiki. And they might

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:58

be beginning to know about this healing art. But I want to kind

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:03

of go in today to all things Reiki, and just, you know,

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:06

welcome you here to share your story and the work you do,

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:13

because I think it's so valuable to put out into the world. So

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:18

welcome. Well, thank

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:19

you so much. Thank you, Maureen. I really

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:21

appreciate it. I'm truly honored to be a part of this and honored

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:25

to be able to share, you know my story and what Reiki is with

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:31

everyone, everyone who listens, because it is a very beautiful,

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:36

loving, compassionate, conscious energy that this just helps to

Chiquita Davis: 00:03:47

ignite that. Change and focus in your energy.

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:56

Yeah, I love I love it. And I think that we'll

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:59

get into sort of, you know, this idea that everything's made of

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:03

energy, and then we learn it through this art. And but just

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:09

you know, in the welcome for you. I was wondering if you

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:14

always knew as a kid that you might have some healing

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:19

abilities. Maybe not specifically in this area, or

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:22

when did this come to you? I I love hearing people's story. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:26

sometimes I feel like oh, yeah, it was something I felt like

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:29

when I was very young. And then other people I talked to say

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:33

like, Well, I had an inkling, but then when I was this age and

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:39

I went to this workshop, I just had an aha moment. So how did

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:43

you come about Reiki?

Chiquita Davis: 00:04:46

Well, I've always been fairly intuitive, so

Chiquita Davis: 00:04:51

fairly able to sense energies. And you know, just kind of feel

Chiquita Davis: 00:04:58

just feel when Things are have change in the air. So and that's

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:04

been since I was a child. But I came to Reiki when I was, I was

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:13

managing property. And I was also doing life coaching. And I

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:18

felt like there was a piece that was missing. And I didn't know

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:24

what that missing piece was, until I met my business partner.

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:30

And she was a Reiki practitioner, or she is a Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:33

practitioner. And she gave me a Reiki session. And that was it.

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:38

That was that was that Aha, that was that missing piece. And for

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:45

me, the missing piece was really feeling that connection to

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:48

spirit, and feeling that unconditional love. So for me,

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:52

Reiki, was the first time I ever truly felt connected to a higher

Chiquita Davis: 00:05:59

power connected to God, and also unconditionally loved. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:07

really interconnected. Like there was more than just me, and

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:13

there's more than just my emotions, and there's more than

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:16

just what I am experiencing. Yeah, I can connect. Yeah. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:24

connect with that, and interact with that. And so it was, and I

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:30

started to really understand spirituality a lot more. It

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:39

really ignited. For me, it ignited that, that change in my

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:44

consciousness to connect with my spirituality. And I turn Yeah,

Chiquita Davis: 00:06:51

go ahead.

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:51

Well, I was just gonna say it sounds like

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:54

it's an unspoken language, but it was, I keep on kind of

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:01

queueing into or leaning into the fact that there's, I always

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:06

used to think like, the language was were English, French,

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:08

Spanish, you know. And then there's like this idea of

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:13

language being so much more. And this is sort of like the

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:17

language of energy, which felt like it was almost like your you

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:21

were born with it. Like it was sort of like your birthright,

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:23

you came with it. And it wasn't until like you knew when you

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:26

were a kid, that you were an energetic, you just felt that

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:30

like the energetic being and connection. And then, like later

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:35

on down the road in that Reiki session, it, it woke you up to

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:39

it all

Chiquita Davis: 00:07:39

clicked, it all clicked and I had tried other

Chiquita Davis: 00:07:42

things, to develop that connection, other religions and

Chiquita Davis: 00:07:48

different types of spiritual practices. But it wasn't until I

Chiquita Davis: 00:07:52

received a Reiki session that I I just was immersed in that

Chiquita Davis: 00:07:58

loving, unconditional feeling. And from there, that's all it

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:05

took for me to want to learn Reiki. And the interesting part

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:10

about when I look back on my journey, is that I didn't even

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:14

ask questions. Other than Where did you learn it? And then I

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:20

went along and signed up. That was it. I didn't look it up

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:25

online. I didn't look it up on YouTube to see a sample session.

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:29

I didn't look up any of that. I just went full steam ahead, as

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:35

if something else was calling me and encouraging me to do this.

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:41

Ever since then, yeah. And so now for eight years, I've been

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:48

practicing Reiki and teaching Reiki and initiating and

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:53

attuning others to become Reiki practitioners, so that they can

Chiquita Davis: 00:08:57

use this beautiful energy as well to improve their life.

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:02

Yeah, it sounds like you were meant to do

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:03

it. And that's been my experience with you. And I

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:08

imagine that when you really find that thing that you are

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:12

here for, that you can do it with such ease and grace, like

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:17

you don't need to look up all the other information, you just

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:20

need to learn the craft.

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:22

Correct? Absolutely. And I really do feel

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:27

like this is my calling this is this is how I am called to serve

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:32

and to be of service. And this is a part of that

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:35

interconnectedness of life and me, you know, receiving these

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:40

beautiful blessings or miracles or just you know, changes in my

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:46

life and I want to be able to share that with others and

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:50

really support others through Reiki. And the great thing about

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:54

Reiki that really attracted me to it after I learned what it

Chiquita Davis: 00:09:59

was It is that it's simple. It's not a doctrine that I have to

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:05

follow. It's just a very simple practice that I can use as a

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:10

spiritual practice or as a healing modality. modality.

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:17

Okay. And that being said, Chiquita what, you

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:21

know, for our for our listeners who have not experienced it yet

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:25

or don't really know. I mean, what is Reiki? How do you define

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:29

what is

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:29

it? So excited? So very simple. Reiki is a

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:38

Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:43

promotes healing.

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:45

Okay, that's it. All right. That's it. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:48

they just yeah, this forward.

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:52

It's Yes, it's that simple. And the Reiki that

Chiquita Davis: 00:10:56

I practice is called Usui Shiki. Real hope, Reiki and that Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:03

was taught by Macau Usili. And so I'm a part of that, that

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:14

lineage through the Reiki attunement process. And that is

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:20

the Reiki that I teach. Okay.

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:23

Okay. So when someone comes in for a Reiki

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:28

session, what, what can they expect?

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:32

Okay, so let me just talk a little bit more

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:35

about just explain a little bit more about Reiki. Okay. So

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:39

that's the definition a technique for stress reduction

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:42

and relaxation. The word Reiki means in a simple form,

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:49

universal, universally guided God consciousness, life force

Chiquita Davis: 00:11:54

energy. Okay, so this is energy that is coming from source, God,

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:02

the Creator, whatever you want to call it. So this is coming

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:07

from that pure, loving neutral space. And so when what Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:14

does, is through laying on hands, so gentle and light

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:19

touch, I the Reiki sends in a vibration, of peace, of love,

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:28

and it's a high vibration. And it seeks to raise the vibration

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:35

of whatever it encounters the weather with, whether it's a

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:38

person, whether it's a situation, what have you, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:12:43

Reiki is seeking to raise it to its highest and best vibration.

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:48

Okay. So I have a question there. And that

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:52

is all right. Can you speak to how how you describe us as

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:00

energy bodies are enter energetic beings and, you know,

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:05

our bodies and even at that cellular cellular level?

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:10

Oh, yeah. Okay. So Reiki Reiki works on all

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:14

those levels, okay, so we are energy first. And we all have a

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:20

bio field, or energetic field, or, or an aura it, those are all

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:26

the same thing. Okay. And so everything starts off is energy,

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:32

and then it moves into matter. And so that is the way Reiki is

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:36

able to help because it affects the energy, and then it also

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:40

affects the physical. So it affects the matter, though it

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:44

comes in, and it raises the vibration of the energetic body,

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:49

the physical body, the emotional body. And everything else that

Chiquita Davis: 00:13:57

we know and don't know. Yeah, so it works. It works on all those

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:03

levels. So when people come in, they lay on the table, they're

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:08

nice and cozy. And I just come in and do light touch throughout

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:15

the body. And that's starting to begin the process of relaxation,

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:20

okay, so it starts to relax the nervous system. And when we when

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:26

our physical bodies begin to relax, so when we move out of a

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:30

fight or flight, then we are able to process things better in

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:36

our own bodies, our physical body is is able to start to

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:43

regenerate, relax, rejuvenate, and ignite the own personal the

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:49

own healing ability, the innate healing ability, because when

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:54

we're in fight or flight, and our adrenals are going we're not

Chiquita Davis: 00:14:58

able to really be Your highest and best self, were not able to

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:02

really be present and interact in a in a way that is helpful.

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:12

And stress free. Yeah, they did the great thing about oh, go

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:15

ahead.

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:16

Well, I was just gonna say you certainly

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:19

can't really heal if you're in fight or flight.

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:24

That's right. And that's where the healing

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:26

part of Reiki comes from. So Reiki is creating, helping to

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:31

create the space for healing. So it's not coming in and being

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:38

like this miraculous, like, you know, it can't it can't make the

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:42

arm grow back if we cut the arm off. But what it can do is

Chiquita Davis: 00:15:47

create optimal conditions for healing.

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:51

Yeah, yeah. And okay, so if I'm following,

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:56

and it's my experience, too, but just to say, again, that it is

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:59

that kind of, when I've experienced Reiki with you, it's

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:03

coming into this environment. So it seems to me that you

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:07

specifically designed even the outer environment for when the

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:11

client steps into the space, as very, I use that word warm, you

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:16

know, the warmth of it, and welcoming, welcoming, so right

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:19

when you go into your studio, I clients going to register that

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:24

and then going into the room where you perform and it's just

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:27

always that that warmth, so that speaks to that relate relaxation

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:32

you're talking to so it's almost like even the experience before

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:36

you're on the Reiki table is escorting you into the

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:40

relaxation and healing state. So those are kind of things that I

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:44

feel like are unbeknownst to the person walking in. But yeah,

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:49

they're gonna be so beneficial.

Chiquita Davis: 00:16:51

Yes, and I'm so happy to hear that, because I

Chiquita Davis: 00:16:54

actually use Reiki to achieve that feeling. So I use Reiki on

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:01

the space. So I Reiki use Reiki on the door. I use Reiki on the

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:07

Reiki on the sign Reiki on the table. We Reiki the space to

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:11

really lift and raise the vibratory level in and around

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:16

this, the studio.

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:19

I was, yeah, so no, go ahead. And Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:23

is also Reiki is also driven by your intention.

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:28

And so I do hold the intention that when someone enters into

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:32

the space, they feel comforted. They feel relaxed. It the

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:35

relaxation process begins. And I think a lot of times, especially

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:40

in our society, we discount the we devalue relaxation, and think

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:48

that it's a luxury. But that's why I like to treat Reiki as a

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:53

very simple, simple practice. Because when we're able to be

Chiquita Davis: 00:17:59

relaxed, we function better. We don't function when we are in a

Chiquita Davis: 00:18:06

heightened state of worry, a heightened state of fear. No,

Chiquita Davis: 00:18:14

and we're not able to move forward. Yeah. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:17

to your point of relaxation, it just makes me

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:19

think about, okay, we might admit, or acknowledge that sleep

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:26

is restorative to us, but sometimes in our culture are

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:30

busy doing culture, just sitting on the couch and relaxing. That

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:36

was when we were little, you know, we were told we were lazy.

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:39

And so knowing what you're saying is that just by being in

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:44

relaxing state, it's a gift to yourself, you're not lazy. It's,

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:48

you know, those are those kinds of things where we have to

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:50

override the kind of voices of our childhood to say, No, this

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:55

is like, what if we actually said are sitting downtimes were

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:58

healed are healing your body, which we all know is beneficial

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:03

for culture as a whole. We've got it we have a lot of illness,

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:06

we have a lot of stress, you know, autoimmune, different

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:10

diseases. And so what could be more important?

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:15

Absolutely. Absolutely. It's important

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:18

because, you know, we need to regenerate. Yeah, I mean, I

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:24

think that goes into using, you know, using the mind as just a

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:30

tool and listening to your heart. That's another thing that

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:33

Reiki helps you do. Because when you're less stress, you can get

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:37

out of the mind and get out of the hurry disease, and you can

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:41

drop into your heart, then you can start listening to your

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:44

body. You can start listening to what you need and honoring that.

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:50

And it's not really difficult. It's really just about okay, you

Chiquita Davis: 00:19:56

know, I'm in a space where I recognize I am Tired, I

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:01

recognize that I need to rest. Okay, I'm gonna take some time

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:05

I'm gonna rest whether it's 30 minutes, whether it's one hour.

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:09

And then you know you're able to there we go function better go

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:15

to the world, say to endure a high amount of stress.

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:22

No, no, which is so clear.

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:27

So so as you get Reiki, okay, so just as we have

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:32

a muscle memory, we have an energetic memory, meaning our

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:38

energy is always going to want to revert to its net, its normal

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:44

state that it's been in, okay, going back to how it's been. So

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:48

if you've been, you know, always on the go, go go, then you're,

Chiquita Davis: 00:20:55

that's how your Energy wants to be. So with Reiki, it helps to

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:00

retrain your energy. After a few sessions, your response to

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:05

different to outside stressors becomes different. And so that's

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:11

how it starts to change your energetic memory. So then you it

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:16

says, okay, you don't have to go into fight or flight. We can

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:22

handle this. We can process this. It takes you out of the,

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:27

again, the fight or flight and helps you to observe. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:30

sometimes we just need to step back. And we need to observe

Chiquita Davis: 00:21:34

rather than act or react.

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:38

Yes, absolutely. And I feel like when

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:42

I've walked out of sessions, like with the guard to what you

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:46

were saying about bringing, you know, it's almost from the

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:49

headspace to the heart space. I yeah, I always feel that I'm

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:54

more my tuned into my intuitive self. And that's the heart

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:59

space. I think that you're helping shift people into. Yeah,

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:06

yeah, dude. Yeah. Is there anything you have to say about

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:08

that?

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:11

No, exactly what what I'm working to do?

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:14

Absolutely. Like, that's why okay, I do. So that's why it's

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:18

important that from the moment you walk in, that you under that

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:23

you feel comforted and supported. Yeah. And that you

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:29

feel that this is there is unconditional love, you are

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:32

perfect, just as you are. And you deserve to be supported. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:38

that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to help you have a shift.

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:42

And after you continuously get Reiki, what happens is, this is

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:47

my this is what I get most excited about seeing in people

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:51

is a shift in consciousness. So the shift in consciousness, take

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:56

them out of their headspace, like you said, and into the

Chiquita Davis: 00:22:59

heart space, and into a more observer role and understanding

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:09

and yet more observant, less reactive. And also that looks

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:17

like the clients doing other things to help support their

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:27

Yeah, give them feeling good. That's when the shift in

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:31

consciousness comes. So it becomes when they become active

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:36

and active participant in creating what they want to

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:42

create. Yeah, I hear you the whether that's, you know,

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:46

whether whether that's less anxiety, whether that's, you

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:51

know, more focus, whether that's being present. That's what Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:23:57

can help you do and instead of reacting like you normally

Chiquita Davis: 00:24:00

would, you are in, you're able to then look at things and

Chiquita Davis: 00:24:06

decide and choose. Make a choice on how you respond and how you

Chiquita Davis: 00:24:12

interact.

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:15

Yeah, it's hugely beneficial to begin to

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:20

become the observer or the witness or of your of yourself.

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:25

Instead of just being in that headspace all the time. I

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:29

appreciate that and kind of how the Reiki sessions can build

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:33

upon each other. And sometimes, you know, it's not, it's not

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:39

always measurable as we knew to measure things, but it's a it's

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:45

a quality of feeling like that changes over the course of time.

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:49

That's how it's felt to me more and I love the space you're

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:53

creating because the word safety and trust come to me and that's

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:57

such a huge thing to be able to embrace and receiving?

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:02

Absolutely. Because your energy field is a

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:05

sacred space. I don't take that lightly. You know, I really

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:10

honor your energy. Because our energy, it's like the it has

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:14

everything about us. It's like the book of you. It's an ever

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:18

changing and ever creating novel about about you, for lack of a

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:25

better analogy that I have at the time. But it's every

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:29

experience, every thought, every word. It's all energy. It all

Chiquita Davis: 00:25:34

has a vibration. Yes, so it's creating.

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:40

Hmm, I have I have more questions about that.

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:44

And I want to remark to before I forget is that there's so many

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:49

things I want to ask you. But I came in to see you. My most

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:53

recent appointment after my dad died. And you spent most of the

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:59

time on my upper body, and what felt like that and then I

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:03

remember leaving the session and just chatting with you and

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:08

commenting about that or inquiring and you said, Well, of

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:11

course Maureen, that's your heart space and you just lost

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:15

your father. So my question around that is, that was so

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:19

fascinating to me, because I was going through a lot of grief.

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:23

But when you are doing the Reiki practice practicing on a person,

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:29

you have your hands lightly over their body. What does that feel

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:34

like? What does it feel like when you get to a black? Can you

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:37

actually feel an energetic black or what are the different kinds

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:40

of vibrations or sensations?

Chiquita Davis: 00:26:43

Oh, okay, this is I like this question. Well, I

Chiquita Davis: 00:26:46

feel pulsating. Sometimes I feel okay, so pulsating. I feel

Chiquita Davis: 00:26:53

sometimes a magnetic pole. I feel so if it's a block, okay,

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:02

or an area of stagnation, and the what that means is that's a

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:08

chi. Okay, the Chi Chi is the lifeforce energy that keeps us

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:12

all alive. No tea, no alive, okay? Is it feels just like

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:20

stuck. So think of if you're just touching an inanimate

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:24

object of book a brick, and you just put your hand on top of it.

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:30

It's not, you don't really feel any type of movement or any even

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:39

connection, okay, because we're all chi and we interact with

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:43

each other's cheat. Okay, so even without being a Reiki

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:46

practitioner, you will be able to feel the difference. If you

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:49

put your hand like on a person, and then put your hand on a

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:52

brick, okay, you will be able to tell the difference between

Chiquita Davis: 00:27:57

something with chi and with that, so anywho so a lot of

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:00

times it feels as if it's just kind of like a inanimate object

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:05

there that I'm that I'm sending Reiki to, because then I can

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:10

feel. So I feel more of the Reiki coming back to my hand,

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:15

instead of the areas soaking up, so then it just takes time. It

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:20

takes time and then through intention. Through changing my

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:26

intention that I'm thinking about, or using Reiki symbols,

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:31

I'm able to change the vibration that the Reiki is emitting, and

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:36

to, to, to assist with releasing that block. But with you, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:43

wasn't it's not necessarily always a block. Sometimes it's,

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:48

I like to just think of it as like turbulence, okay, or

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:51

imbalance, but specifically it can energy can be stagnant, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:28:55

can be overactive, it can be, it can be a block, it can be

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:00

choppy, and I'm sure there's a myriad of other things that

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:03

maybe I'm not aware of, or conditions that I'm not able to

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:07

explain. So anywho so with you, it felt as if there's a there's

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:13

when someone dies, there's sometimes like an emptiness and

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:18

a heart. There's an emptiness in that place. There's a there's a

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:24

grief, a feeling of grief. And so what I've worked to do is

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:32

fill you up with love. So that's why I work harder at that area.

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:37

And or that's why I was focusing on that area to really fill that

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:42

area up with love. So then you're not feeling like this.

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:48

This you know, just empty feeling. This feeling like

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:52

something's missing, because you can feel that connection when

Chiquita Davis: 00:29:57

their energy does leave the earth plane. You Hmm, yeah. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:02

what I've noticed in an energetic pattern, when someone

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:06

close to us passes, we tend to like retreat a little bit out of

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:13

our body. So our energetic body, or our energetic body just

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:19

shifts a little bit. And it's almost like, the best way for me

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:25

to describe it is like a head in the clouds, kind of feeling kind

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:30

of kind of energy, like your head, that's why it is, you

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:33

might not be able to get it together, or, you know, every

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:38

was think of things that are normal, everyday things, it kind

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:43

of just knocks you out of your body a little bit.

Maureen Spielman: 00:30:46

Okay, that's it. Yeah, I've never heard that.

Maureen Spielman: 00:30:48

That's fascinating. And thank you for sharing it. Yeah, that

Maureen Spielman: 00:30:53

process is, and that's just,

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:56

that's what I learned through my practice, and

Chiquita Davis: 00:30:58

working on people who are grieving is they're shifted out

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:02

of their body just a little bit. And that energy strands in

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:07

connection to the person is weakened, because they're

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:15

grieving. But you're still connected to that energy. So

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:18

that's why I'm filling you up with love. So that, you know,

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:21

you feel that connection is not fading, it's probably going to

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:25

get stronger.

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:26

It's so pretty to because then, for someone to

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:30

understand that and you know, kind of know that reason as to

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:33

why they feel the way that they do, it feels like it's also a

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:37

call when you're going through something like that for more

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:40

self care. Because if your energy has sort of left you,

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:44

you, you just sit and re nourish and replenish is really

Maureen Spielman: 00:31:49

important.

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:51

Absolutely. And Reiki helps you get to that

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:54

place. So it helps to bring you back into your body, so that you

Chiquita Davis: 00:31:59

can now be integrated and think of things to help you. But

Chiquita Davis: 00:32:05

sometimes we just can't, because of that energetic piece that

Chiquita Davis: 00:32:10

just endured that piece that's like missing. Yeah, you can't

Chiquita Davis: 00:32:15

put your finger on, it's not tangible.

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:19

Now, and you can't really can't really

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:22

manipulate it, you just got to be with it and work through it.

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:27

It reminds me of, I wanted you to talk about our emotions as

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:33

energy or energy, emotions as energy in motion. And the thing

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:38

that I've been wanting to read more about and understand is in

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:44

Reiki would be important for this. I never really realized

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:48

that all the experiences of my life that especially things that

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:53

I suppressed and to kind of didn't deal with reside within

Maureen Spielman: 00:32:59

the cells of my body. Is that right?

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:02

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:06

Yeah, why and why? Having that pattern, which

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:09

is a lot of people, because we were raised in the generations,

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:13

we were by people who were doing the best they could. But if I,

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:18

that's where, you know, there's nutrition for health, there's

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:22

movement for health, health, but for me, now, I want to make sure

Maureen Spielman: 00:33:27

that I'm moving my emotions. So talk about that.

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:33

So our emotions are also energy. And when we

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:37

don't move through the emotions, they can get stuck. And they can

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:41

be trapped in our energy field in our physical body. And that's

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:46

how this is manifest. And certain different types of

Chiquita Davis: 00:33:51

emotions have certain densities to them. Okay, so let's see,

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:00

like, your envy. Let's talk about things like this envy,

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:03

okay, jealousy, those are also emotions. Those are heavy,

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:11

heavier, denser, then something like grieving or sorrow. Okay,

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:20

you win. Okay, and but how can grief and sorrow become heavy,

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:25

when you don't address it, when you don't acknowledge it, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:29

finds a place to hang out. So whether you address those

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:33

emotions, or even beliefs, that that aren't serving you or

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:41

aren't in alignment or aren't congruent to how you really want

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:45

to live your life, they're gonna find somewhere to sit. Spear is

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:49

going to find a place to live. And it manifests in your

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:53

physical body, because it all starts starts out at energy. So

Chiquita Davis: 00:34:57

those emotions are energy Yeah. And they're going to, and

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:03

they're going to settle somewhere. And they're going to

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:06

create this ease. imbalance, whether it's in the mentally,

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:13

emotionally, spiritually. Okay? And a lot of emotions are stuck

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:21

in our bodies. And I always encourage breathing, breathing,

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:26

breathing, oh, my students are probably sick of me saying,

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:29

breathe, breathe, breathe, okay, then I come up to them. And I

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:34

put my hand on their belly and I say, make your belly big, and

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:38

make it small, because we start to relax the nervous system,

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:46

then we're relaxing our muscles. And so those emotions, that

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:50

might in pockets of emotions that are stuck in our bodies are

Chiquita Davis: 00:35:53

able to start to dissipate, dissolve, and move out. Okay?

Maureen Spielman: 00:35:59

I have a question about that. Okay, so

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:02

let's take something that's not super serious malady. But

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:09

something like your body talking to you. And it's showing up as

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:15

lower back pain. Are there ways even I could because you do

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:20

Reiki, but you're a healer within that. So I had said to

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:28

someone close to me recently, who is experiencing a bot, like

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:31

a body pain like this? You know? Did you ask it what it has to

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:37

tell you? And that just comes to mind when you're because with

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:41

the breath, it made me think of it with the breath. Because I've

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:45

done some breath work recently. That was I'm just gonna say more

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:50

intense. And the way that it felt to me, because it left me

Maureen Spielman: 00:36:54

in a pile of tears, in a good way, is that the breathing helps

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:02

dislodge the energy that was stuck. And I can't I can't say

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:06

like, Oh, that was this memory from this time or this that

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:10

needed to be healed? I have no idea. I just know what I

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:14

experienced. But you know, in terms of even self healing

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:19

applications that can help us understand what's going on in

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:23

our bodies. You know, are there some things like that? Like, how

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:27

can we understand what that breath is doing? For us? It's it

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:30

because when we're taking when we're taking, like mindful

Maureen Spielman: 00:37:33

deeper breaths, you know, are we are we kind of moving energy?

Chiquita Davis: 00:37:38

Yeah, yeah. Because the breath is also

Chiquita Davis: 00:37:42

energy. So the more you breathe, the deeper you breathe, the

Chiquita Davis: 00:37:46

different techniques you use, is accessing different parts of

Chiquita Davis: 00:37:51

your body in different parts of your energy field. It's taking

Chiquita Davis: 00:37:55

energy, that breath energy to those areas, and exactly like

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:00

you said, dislodging those emotions, or sometimes it just

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:04

dissolved them.

Maureen Spielman: 00:38:06

Okay. Yeah, it's

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:09

the great part about Reiki is it really helps

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:12

to dissolve them sometimes without needing to have a

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:17

cathartic experience. But having more a bit of a just a release,

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:22

you know, it not like you said, it does, you didn't have a

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:26

thought about you know, it's from this experience or what

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:29

have you. But because sometimes it's an accumulation, and it's

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:33

stuck in the body. And so think about even when you if people

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:36

get massage, getting massage, and they hit a plate, and you

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:40

just start weeping or crying. Just because that's the stuff

Chiquita Davis: 00:38:45

energy.

Maureen Spielman: 00:38:47

Yeah, I'm laughing because me recently,

Maureen Spielman: 00:38:51

and this guy was he was a he was getting very intense. Like, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:38:57

don't know what they call it sports massage or something. But

Maureen Spielman: 00:38:59

he hid somewhere in my hip. And I was like, get away from that.

Maureen Spielman: 00:39:04

I don't think I was ready to process that. And something was

Maureen Spielman: 00:39:07

trying to come up.

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:10

Yeah, yeah. And it's so it can be so

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:13

overwhelming that you're just like, Wait a minute. Now. I

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:16

didn't expect this to occur. But But yeah, like I said, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:22

resided somewhere because you never got it out of your energy.

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:25

And then it turned into matter. It turned into something that

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:29

was stuck in the physical.

Maureen Spielman: 00:39:32

And so based on people's physiology, or even

Maureen Spielman: 00:39:36

life experiences, kind of depends on where these things

Maureen Spielman: 00:39:38

settle.

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:40

Absolutely. Okay. Different. Yeah. And we

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:42

all have different energetic conditions, just like we've had

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:46

different experiences in life. But there's, you know, the first

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:51

so our first three chakras, so the base, the sacral and the

Chiquita Davis: 00:39:56

solar plexus. Those are more connected to Our Earth, body,

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:02

Star Earth experience. That is why there's the saying of, you

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:06

know, drop getting people into the heart. Because the base is,

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:10

you know, safety, security, the sacral is survival. The solar

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:18

plexus is desire, how we process the world. So this is all

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:25

physical stuff, physical living here stuff. So getting you into

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:30

your heart starts to connect you with the outer world as well. So

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:35

what is the outer world, the unseen energy that you are? And

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:40

that is all around you? Right? Yeah. And it gets you connected

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:45

with your intuition. Yeah, and into your heart, because that's

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:52

where the true nature of who we are resides is in our heart.

Chiquita Davis: 00:40:57

That's why there's the saying, your your heart's desire,

Chiquita Davis: 00:41:00

because your heart carries the true nature of who you are.

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:06

That's so beautiful. I'm glad you brought

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:09

up chakras. Yeah. Before I was thinking about our talk, I meant

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:13

to talk about that. I feel like that could be a whole nother

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:15

podcast.

Chiquita Davis: 00:41:17

Yeah. But yeah, that totally could be a whole

Chiquita Davis: 00:41:21

nother but but you know, the chakras are a great system. But

Chiquita Davis: 00:41:26

we don't need to get deep into that. No, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:29

love having the copy. Yeah. So because it's

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:31

like, for me, the when I talk about this, and when I hear it,

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:34

even the Reiki and the energy talk today, it's perfect. I was

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:38

gonna say, a friend of mine, who she definitely is a healer. We

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:45

were at a friend's house. And my friend's dog was very sick and

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:50

of life. And my healer friend went up and rubbed her hands

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:55

together and perform some Reiki on the animal. And I thought

Maureen Spielman: 00:41:58

that was really pretty. And then I was kind of playing with that

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:01

with my son and our dog when she had a hurt leg. And I rubbed my

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:05

hands together, and she was sleeping. And it's kind of like,

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:08

I'm wondering, after I tell you this, you know, are there sort

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:12

of like ways that we can do subtle Reiki on ourselves, even

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:16

but I remember, my dog was completely asleep. And I created

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:21

energy between my hands. And I was gently gliding them on top

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:25

of her body, not touching her. And she started to twitch, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:29

she started to move. And my son and I looked at each other,

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:32

like, what, what is she doing? But clearly, she felt the energy

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:37

above her. And it was kind of funny, because she didn't she

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:41

she kind of, she didn't nip at me. But she kind of got up and

Maureen Spielman: 00:42:46

looked at me like, What are you doing?

Chiquita Davis: 00:42:49

Wow, this is so fascinating. And congratulations

Chiquita Davis: 00:42:54

to you for connecting with that energy, the energy around you,

Chiquita Davis: 00:42:59

you will connect and you're bringing in a love energy, your

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:04

intention was love, your intention was to heal, and to

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:07

help her and absolutely, we can all do that. We can all do some

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:13

form of energy work. But I think it takes really recognizing that

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:18

we are energy bodies, and then the dog animals are so sensitive

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:24

to energy, okay. And a lot of people say, Well, why are dogs

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:27

so sensitive to energy? Well, because they can't talk. You

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:35

know, they that's the level that they're constantly dwelling on

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:40

is a genic instinctual level, but you know, it really it's

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:46

funny, but we don't think of it like, no, like no navigating the

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:52

energy of everything to to live because they cannot communicate

Chiquita Davis: 00:43:57

with us. They can't speak to us. They don't have spoken language.

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:03

So they are constantly they're looking yes, they're looking at

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:07

our behaviors. They're looking at our patterns, but they're

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:10

also navigating the energy. So that's how so animals are very

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:17

sensitive. Yeah, that that is actually a normal personal

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:24

experience. Normal reaction from a dog first, first time

Chiquita Davis: 00:44:29

receiving Reiki.

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:30

Oh, that's so cool. Yes. Oh, wow. Well, I know

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:34

that we're wrapping up our conversation. One question that

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:37

just came to me out of the blue was how can people protect their

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:44

energy? You know, I feel like I know a lot of people who will

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:48

say, Oh, I have to go to this event and I know that it's going

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:53

to pull from my energy or you know what I mean? They feel like

Maureen Spielman: 00:44:56

it's an energy drain. And how can I protect my energy?

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:00

Okay, so the first thing is knowing that you

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:04

are powerful, and you don't have to succumb to those energies,

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:07

okay? And calling in, whatever whoever your divine guides are,

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:14

whoever your higher power is, and ask for assistance and

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:19

surrounding yourself in white light. regulate your breath. I

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:28

always say, because it helps keep you in alignment, so that

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:32

you're less reactive. And you're less susceptible to those

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:36

energies. Because we are an organic body. We're an organic

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:39

material. We're porous, but we're porous to them energies as

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:44

well. So yeah, so So in the more so it's not just one time, okay,

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:50

because we didn't get it took a long time for us to get this

Chiquita Davis: 00:45:54

way. So it takes a long time to it takes constantly practicing

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:00

and surrounding yourself and white light for it to get

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:04

stronger, stronger, stronger and stronger. You are less. Yeah,

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:10

yeah. And just to address one thing that you we were talking

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:14

about, about the emotion, different types of emotions, or

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:18

worries, do settle in different areas of the body. Okay. And so

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:24

a lot of earthly worries, and cause concerns and stressors

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:30

tend to settle in the lower parts of the body. I mean, also,

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:35

other parts of the body, don't get me wrong, but like, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:40

settles in the lower parts because of the safety security.

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:43

And those first three energy centers being so connected to

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:47

the wire. Okay, so you worried about your safety, security, it

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:52

could be you know, your finances or socio economic or what have

Chiquita Davis: 00:46:57

you that you might have some back pain?

Maureen Spielman: 00:46:59

Okay. Mm hmm. Good to know, and everyone

Maureen Spielman: 00:47:06

should have like a pocket chart they carry around.

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:13

Okay, actually, actually, Doreen Virtue, she has

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:19

a book. I forgot the name of it. But she has, she created a

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:25

chart. And it has the different aches, pains, diseases or

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:32

ailments. And it will tell you, like what mental or emotional

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:39

condition could have created that. And then she gives you a

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:44

mantra to say, to help change the energy surrounding that.

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:50

Yeah. And then she does have a pocket guide. And I think you

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:54

may have seen the book before. You probably seen it around. I

Chiquita Davis: 00:47:57

forgot the name of it. But anyways, she does have that. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:48:01

it's fairly accurate.

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:03

Yeah, yeah. And the thing is, the, I'm

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:08

thinking of is how, you know, however, things manifest in our

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:13

body, and in relationships to emotions that we may have just

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:20

stored, we, it's like, we've all done it, right? Because there,

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:25

we're just responding or reacting to life. And then

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:29

whatever. However, we were conditioned, and this is just,

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:33

it's a principle of an energetic body. And there's no right or

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:36

wrong to it. And we're all, you know, we're all in many ways

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:40

susceptible or open to the DIS ease in a way, because we

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:46

haven't learned how to move our energy effectively. And so just

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:51

I try to look at everything is like there's no, there's no

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:54

right or wrong to it. It's just, it just is and just to have a

Maureen Spielman: 00:48:58

tool.

Chiquita Davis: 00:48:59

Absolutely. Absolutely. Because you were all

Chiquita Davis: 00:49:03

going to experience we all experienced the ebb and the flow

Chiquita Davis: 00:49:06

of life. Yes. Okay. The good that and the neutral. And

Chiquita Davis: 00:49:11

everything surrounding you know, with that, so, yeah.

Maureen Spielman: 00:49:15

Oh, so good. You could see I told you, we

Maureen Spielman: 00:49:18

could talk forever, and, and I'm gonna circle it, circle it

Maureen Spielman: 00:49:22
