Welcome back to the Anew Body Insight podcast.

00:00:46:04 - 00:00:49:06
We are back for the second half of our interview

00:00:49:06 - 00:00:53:28
with Reiki Master Yan Weng at City Club Los Angeles.

00:00:54:12 - 00:00:58:09
Yan gave us some background about her harrowing time at Ground Zero

00:00:58:16 - 00:01:01:15
and how she healed herself back to vitality.

00:01:01:22 - 00:01:04:00
We are eager to learn more.

00:01:04:00 - 00:01:05:20
Thank you for being with us again,

00:01:05:20 - 00:01:10:05
Yen. When we last left off, you were telling us about the Covid

00:01:10:05 - 00:01:15:26
pandemic and how you decided to move to teaching classes online.

00:01:16:13 - 00:01:19:18
Was there a particular reason that you decided to do that?

00:01:19:19 - 00:01:22:13
Just because we couldn't be together, we were distancing.

00:01:22:13 - 00:01:24:24
Or was there some other reason?

00:01:24:24 - 00:01:27:24
Yes. Thank you so much for bringing me back today.

00:01:28:01 - 00:01:30:26
I'm very glad to be here again.

00:01:30:26 - 00:01:33:13
And, yes, there is,

00:01:35:00 - 00:01:36:20
during the Covid,

00:01:36:20 - 00:01:39:17
as we know, there was all the lockdown and we weren't able

00:01:39:17 - 00:01:43:15
to really go out or doing a lot of things that we wanted to do.

00:01:44:05 - 00:01:47:11
And then around the same time, that was right

00:01:47:11 - 00:01:50:11
before Christmas in 2020,

00:01:50:13 - 00:01:53:13
I got a phone call from my mom,

00:01:53:16 - 00:01:56:17
and she fell in her in the bathtub

00:01:56:28 - 00:02:00:19
and bruised her ribs and her face

00:02:00:19 - 00:02:04:09
and all of that, and she was very anxious.

00:02:04:24 - 00:02:08:07
But she's also afraid to go to see the doctor because she didn't

00:02:08:07 - 00:02:11:07
want to contract Covid 19.

00:02:11:29 - 00:02:16:13
And, at that time, I already have the tools

00:02:16:13 - 00:02:20:18
to use Reiki to heal others remotely.

00:02:21:10 - 00:02:26:03
And then I said, let me just do it because there's nothing to lose on that.

00:02:26:19 - 00:02:33:04
So I told my mom, like, set a time and then I'm going to call her on the phone.

00:02:33:21 - 00:02:35:09
And then since she was available.

00:02:35:09 - 00:02:37:08
So I said, okay, let's just do it now.

00:02:37:08 - 00:02:41:25
So she was just holding the phone and I tell her to lay on a comfortable

00:02:41:25 - 00:02:45:08
sofa or something when the phone putting on speaker,

00:02:46:02 - 00:02:49:02
and then I just kind of guided her through.

00:02:49:03 - 00:02:53:21
And then for certain meditation that is helpful for her at the beginning

00:02:53:22 - 00:02:59:17
to kind of just let herself, reduce all the heart pumping and all that.

00:03:00:01 - 00:03:02:28
And then after that, I would just activate

00:03:02:28 - 00:03:06:14
the Reiki lifeforce and then just let her receive it.

00:03:07:29 - 00:03:10:27
And half an hour into it.

00:03:10:27 - 00:03:14:06
When she came back, she was like, oh my gosh, I almost fell asleep.

00:03:14:10 - 00:03:15:23
That's what she told me.

00:03:15:23 - 00:03:18:28
And she she was just feeling so calm and all that.

00:03:18:28 - 00:03:21:28
And she was like, oh, whatever this is, is great.

00:03:22:15 - 00:03:27:11
Actually, she already practiced qigong, which is a good thing because years ago

00:03:27:11 - 00:03:32:27
she suffered from depression and anxiety, and I introduced her to

00:03:32:27 - 00:03:36:07
qigong practice and because of that she got much better.

00:03:37:09 - 00:03:41:23
So she kind of knew about all the holistic practices because of me and,

00:03:42:11 - 00:03:43:16
and all that.

00:03:43:16 - 00:03:48:03
So she was very receptive to the Reiki healing when I suggested.

00:03:48:20 - 00:03:50:16
And from there then I was.

00:03:50:16 - 00:03:54:06
And then the next day she actually call me and say, hey, when is my next session?

00:03:55:17 - 00:03:57:27
So what I did was I did one

00:03:57:27 - 00:04:02:14
week for her because every day she reduced her anxiety.

00:04:02:14 - 00:04:05:19
So it took one week and then she said, that's it, I don't need you anymore.

00:04:05:29 - 00:04:08:02
I said OK that's good.

00:04:08:02 - 00:04:11:08
And yeah, and because of that, I was I now

00:04:11:17 - 00:04:15:12
so many people around the world is suffering from this.

00:04:15:22 - 00:04:21:02
The isolation and all that going around and people losing their loved ones.

00:04:21:17 - 00:04:24:03
Why can I just start on that?

00:04:24:03 - 00:04:26:17
And that's when I founded

00:04:26:17 - 00:04:29:06
Master and Grow Rich.

00:04:29:06 - 00:04:31:26
Its mission is to empower others

00:04:31:26 - 00:04:35:22
to tap into this holistic practice so they can

00:04:35:25 - 00:04:39:02
not only just doing the healing, de-stress and all of that,

00:04:39:14 - 00:04:43:27
but has that they have that access to the inner power.

00:04:44:08 - 00:04:47:20
That's always there, always existing and always powerful.

00:04:48:05 - 00:04:50:21
We just need to know how to access it.

00:04:50:21 - 00:04:55:18
And that was kind of started on my mission during that Covid time.

00:04:55:23 - 00:04:59:27
I think it's amazing that you're able to do that remotely.

00:05:00:09 - 00:05:03:17
And I think that was actually one of the benefits

00:05:03:17 - 00:05:09:15
or the good things that came out of Covid is that we had to tap into technology.

00:05:09:15 - 00:05:13:28
And I can say that from a therapist’s point of view, as a psychologist,

00:05:14:22 - 00:05:19:08
you know, when Covid came about, we we were all still in office.

00:05:19:09 - 00:05:25:02
And so we had to scramble and we had to get everyone, all of our clients online.

00:05:25:26 - 00:05:31:07
And it was a really amazing thing because everyone leaned into it.

00:05:31:08 - 00:05:36:29
Everyone wanted to, you know, continue to receive healing during this time.

00:05:36:29 - 00:05:39:00
It was so important.

00:05:39:00 - 00:05:42:14
And so I think it's amazing that you were able to do this and,

00:05:42:26 - 00:05:45:26
you know, heal your mom and then

00:05:46:05 - 00:05:49:28
bring this out to the greater public through Master and Grow Rich.

00:05:50:00 - 00:05:51:26
So tell us about that work.

00:05:51:26 - 00:05:55:20
Tell us about the online Reiki clinic, because I think it's

00:05:56:08 - 00:05:59:05
going to help so many people all over the world.

00:05:59:05 - 00:06:04:02
Oh, you mean the Reiki online that I do with the other Reiki master? Yes.

00:06:04:28 - 00:06:05:26
thank you for that.

00:06:05:26 - 00:06:06:04
Yeah.

00:06:06:04 - 00:06:11:12
I also acknowledge that you've done so much on, you know, via your own

00:06:12:10 - 00:06:15:21
wellness programs for so many of your clients and people

00:06:15:21 - 00:06:19:17
who wanted that healing and wanted to express themselves

00:06:19:17 - 00:06:23:15
so they don't get their undigested emotions within.

00:06:23:24 - 00:06:25:22
So I also applaud you for that.

00:06:25:22 - 00:06:26:09
Well thank you.

00:06:26:09 - 00:06:29:10
I it was actually, I think, really important for me

00:06:29:10 - 00:06:34:03
personally because it was something I felt I was able to do during that time.

00:06:34:03 - 00:06:37:21
So I felt like I had use I felt like I was doing something important.

00:06:38:02 - 00:06:40:14
And I'm sure you probably feel the same way. Yes.

00:06:40:14 - 00:06:42:23
And then that is, the reason.

00:06:42:23 - 00:06:46:21
So further to some of my, sharing before.

00:06:48:00 - 00:06:51:15
according to the World Health Organization,

00:06:52:06 - 00:06:58:21
there was an uptick of a massive 25% increase of the global prevalence

00:06:58:21 - 00:07:03:20
of anxiety and depression during the Covid time worldwide.

00:07:04:10 - 00:07:07:06
And then in particularly, suicidal

00:07:07:06 - 00:07:10:06
rates had also increased around that time.

00:07:10:13 - 00:07:13:01
And a particular impacted

00:07:13:01 - 00:07:16:01
sector is the health care sector,

00:07:16:11 - 00:07:19:16
all the staff, the nurses and doctors,

00:07:20:18 - 00:07:23:19
they naturally wanted to help people, but at the time

00:07:23:28 - 00:07:26:15
they were afraid that they may be contracted

00:07:26:15 - 00:07:30:11
with the disease or spreading that to their loved ones,

00:07:30:29 - 00:07:33:24
and they also afraid of it.

00:07:33:24 - 00:07:37:19
Just like so much overwhelming long hours of working, right?

00:07:37:19 - 00:07:42:15
Because when you're so stretched thin your immune system is coming down as well,

00:07:43:06 - 00:07:46:14
and they don't want to take the break because they want to help more people.

00:07:47:09 - 00:07:50:14
And also they don't want to let their coworkers down.

00:07:50:15 - 00:07:53:03
They want to really help to support.

00:07:53:03 - 00:07:57:20
In addition, seeing so many patients pass

00:07:59:08 - 00:08:01:29
in a very short period of time,

00:08:01:29 - 00:08:05:20
it puts even more emotional burdens

00:08:05:28 - 00:08:09:13
because they see that, see them, see this, day in and day out.

00:08:10:09 - 00:08:14:22
So, when there was a Reiki online

00:08:14:22 - 00:08:18:14
clinic that, my Grace healing group opened up

00:08:19:04 - 00:08:22:08
and they said we needed Reiki masters to

00:08:23:12 - 00:08:25:18
help out and to provide

00:08:25:18 - 00:08:29:26
Reiki treatments to all the staff in the hospital.

00:08:29:27 - 00:08:33:07
I just jumped in right away because before that I was like,

00:08:33:08 - 00:08:37:05
how am I going to help so many of those health care workers?

00:08:37:16 - 00:08:40:24
And then somehow when I thought of it, the opportunity came.

00:08:41:03 - 00:08:45:11
And that's how I just jumped right in to have that.

00:08:46:10 - 00:08:48:10
Yes. Wow, that is great.

00:08:48:10 - 00:08:52:29
I mean, that's definitely a population that needs as much help as they can get

00:08:53:06 - 00:08:57:00
and doesn't have a whole lot of time to get the help.

00:08:57:04 - 00:09:01:04
You know, they don't have time to go for a massage or,

00:09:02:13 - 00:09:03:09
therapy session

00:09:03:09 - 00:09:06:21
even at this point, or at least during the pandemic.

00:09:06:21 - 00:09:07:03
Right.

00:09:07:03 - 00:09:10:22
And so you were there and you were able to help them in a short amount of time.

00:09:11:06 - 00:09:11:22
That's great.

00:09:11:22 - 00:09:14:05
How long was a session usually with.

00:09:14:05 - 00:09:15:19
Is with us.

00:09:15:19 - 00:09:17:25
Usually we have

00:09:17:25 - 00:09:20:01
three staff.

00:09:20:01 - 00:09:21:16
They don't even have to be there, right?

00:09:21:16 - 00:09:23:29
So it's a remote treatment.

00:09:23:29 - 00:09:28:11
We just have to set the time like let's say from 10 to 11.

00:09:28:24 - 00:09:31:00
It will be your time for this person.

00:09:31:00 - 00:09:34:00
So it would be like a line up of like

00:09:34:08 - 00:09:37:08
staff that wanted to receive the Reiki treatment.

00:09:37:11 - 00:09:41:08
And they don't have to be physically even, even remotely on

00:09:41:08 - 00:09:44:08
the zoom they don't need a they just have to set the time.

00:09:44:08 - 00:09:47:25
And then at that time, 3 or 4 Reiki masters

00:09:47:25 - 00:09:51:27
come together in the zoom and we will all do Reiki too.

00:09:51:28 - 00:09:53:23
So we have like let's line up the.

00:09:53:23 - 00:09:54:28
three of the staff.

00:09:54:28 - 00:09:56:04
Wow. No one at once.

00:09:56:04 - 00:09:57:20
But it's three at the same time.

00:09:57:20 - 00:09:59:20
So there will be 3 or 4 Reiki master

00:09:59:20 - 00:10:03:18
doing the Reiki to that person, to that staff at the same time.

00:10:03:18 - 00:10:04:18
So they receive

00:10:05:19 - 00:10:06:24
the activation

00:10:06:24 - 00:10:10:14
with all the various Reiki masters at the same time.

00:10:10:24 - 00:10:11:27
So that's how we did it.

00:10:11:27 - 00:10:15:08
So we would do like one and then so

00:10:15:08 - 00:10:18:10
it just goes through the list of like what we need to do.

00:10:18:10 - 00:10:21:00
Sometimes they will say,

00:10:21:00 - 00:10:24:00
I need more energy because I'm doing a triathlon.

00:10:24:04 - 00:10:28:11
And some would be like, oh, I am dealing with, cancer right

00:10:28:11 - 00:10:32:06
now, and I need some support, just various different reasons.

00:10:32:06 - 00:10:36:22
Or sometimes they said, I'm just so stressed out on my life decisions.

00:10:36:22 - 00:10:38:26
Something about the future.

00:10:38:26 - 00:10:41:28
I'm confused. So I need my head to be clear.

00:10:42:06 - 00:10:45:02
So it's just various,

00:10:45:02 - 00:10:45:25
requests.

00:10:45:25 - 00:10:49:19
So we just kind of work with them and usually it's not even us.

00:10:49:19 - 00:10:52:13
Like trying to guess what how we want to do it.

00:10:52:13 - 00:10:54:24
Because the Reiki lifeforce comes, right?

00:10:54:24 - 00:10:56:06
It's just intelligence.

00:10:56:06 - 00:11:01:08
So we just have to have that intention and then it will come,

00:11:01:15 - 00:11:05:03
because sometimes people say like, oh, my neck and shoulder hurt.

00:11:05:11 - 00:11:07:01
But actually when the Reiki lifeforce

00:11:07:01 - 00:11:10:01
goes, that wasn't the spot that goes.

00:11:10:12 - 00:11:13:07
Sometimes it goes to the crown of the head,

00:11:13:07 - 00:11:17:23
sometimes it goes to the stomach first, or abdomen or whatever after that,

00:11:17:23 - 00:11:20:08
that it might go to their neck and shoulder or what.

00:11:20:08 - 00:11:22:26
So yeah, it's very interesting.

00:11:22:26 - 00:11:24:05
And what I.

00:11:24:05 - 00:11:28:13
Do they do feel—do they say I feel the energy in my head.

00:11:28:13 - 00:11:31:25
And then in my abdomen? Sometimes they come back with with we just got like,

00:11:32:12 - 00:11:35:17
yeah, the, Reiki master here too, in the audience. Yes.

00:11:35:17 - 00:11:40:10
So last week, during the last session, we actually received, comments

00:11:40:10 - 00:11:41:20
from the staff.

00:11:41:20 - 00:11:44:13
They would tell us like, oh my gosh, this is great.

00:11:44:13 - 00:11:47:29
And then she would tell us, like, what's going on, you know,

00:11:48:08 - 00:11:51:08
after we gave the Reiki Reiki treatments.

00:11:51:12 - 00:11:51:20
Yeah.

00:11:51:20 - 00:11:53:26
So it is, not—they don’t

00:11:53:26 - 00:11:56:02
They don't share all of that with us.

00:11:56:02 - 00:11:59:20
However many of them come back, then we know if it's no use,

00:11:59:20 - 00:12:01:16
then they won't be coming back. Right.

00:12:01:16 - 00:12:06:13
So they because every day there is a lot of stress challenges.

00:12:06:26 - 00:12:10:13
And so there are times with different issues.

00:12:11:05 - 00:12:14:02
But then we do see some of them come back

00:12:14:02 - 00:12:17:16
and we have we are continuing with the program

00:12:17:16 - 00:12:22:17
and for like a couple of times we also go in person to the hospital.

00:12:22:26 - 00:12:27:18
So the nurse would so we line it up, whomever sign up for the doctors

00:12:27:18 - 00:12:31:23
or whatever, they would come in and then we would do it would be breaking

00:12:31:23 - 00:12:36:19
into like 3 or 4 rooms, and each room would have two or 2 or 3 Reiki masters.

00:12:37:00 - 00:12:40:05
And they come in, we do half an hour, they go out and we do.

00:12:40:10 - 00:12:41:27
So it's just like, yeah,

00:12:43:05 - 00:12:44:03
yes, back to.

00:12:44:03 - 00:12:45:02
Back to back.

00:12:45:02 - 00:12:48:02
Yes. Rack them up. Yeah.

00:12:48:15 - 00:12:51:21
It just there is just mainly give them away to

00:12:52:00 - 00:12:57:04
So for us to give back to them, for them who do so much for us.

00:12:57:04 - 00:12:59:20
Yeah. Absolutely beautiful.

00:12:59:20 - 00:13:03:06
You have a lot of offerings on your, website.

00:13:03:06 - 00:13:07:24
And there is something called the Reiki First Degree training course.

00:13:07:24 - 00:13:11:05
Can you explain to us what that involves? Yes.

00:13:11:13 - 00:13:12:25
thanks for asking that.

00:13:12:25 - 00:13:14:23
I do have a number of,

00:13:14:23 - 00:13:19:16
programs because everyone is so different and working in the finance sector

00:13:19:27 - 00:13:23:20
with busy professional and some of them, they want to learn everything.

00:13:23:25 - 00:13:26:25
So it's different types of personalities.

00:13:26:27 - 00:13:29:25
The Reiki level one is mainly

00:13:29:25 - 00:13:33:16
to give them that power to for them to learn.

00:13:34:01 - 00:13:39:01
And it involves with five sessions throughout a a number of days.

00:13:39:10 - 00:13:44:09
And I would provide them with step to step guidance so they don't feel

00:13:44:09 - 00:13:44:28
overwhelm.

00:13:44:28 - 00:13:48:14
And I also break it down into like different pieces.

00:13:49:13 - 00:13:51:10
And Reiki is just very easy

00:13:51:10 - 00:13:55:11
to learn because it's not like a skill based one is mainly the attunement.

00:13:55:11 - 00:13:58:17
And then very simple hand placement position.

00:13:58:27 - 00:14:03:12
So I would help them to kind of go through this process,

00:14:03:18 - 00:14:07:15
but in a systemic way so they can get comfortable with it.

00:14:07:19 - 00:14:09:20
And also the practice itself. Right.

00:14:09:20 - 00:14:14:09
Because sometimes we forget or, or we are just so overwhelmed

00:14:14:09 - 00:14:17:26
with so many different challenges and demands.

00:14:18:11 - 00:14:21:13
This is one moment that we can kind of, okay,

00:14:21:18 - 00:14:25:01
sit down now and have a yummy time for myself.

00:14:25:11 - 00:14:26:02
Right?

00:14:26:02 - 00:14:29:02
And that is let's meet and Reiki first degree is.

00:14:29:11 - 00:14:32:05
I want to have a yummy time with myself.

00:14:32:05 - 00:14:32:25
Yeah.

00:14:32:25 - 00:14:37:08
And just to have that and every time, as I mentioned earlier,

00:14:37:08 - 00:14:40:19
is that when whatever they was experiencing

00:14:40:19 - 00:14:44:00
with a lot of situations, agitations

00:14:44:00 - 00:14:48:00
or stresses, but after the class, everything

00:14:48:02 - 00:14:51:07
on the five sessions that we had, they always feeling

00:14:51:07 - 00:14:54:07
so like just like

00:14:55:13 - 00:14:57:26
blessed, they just wanted to be there.

00:14:57:26 - 00:15:01:04
They didn't want to leave, you know, like because they just so much

00:15:01:19 - 00:15:06:20
coming down to a level that they know is their own inner power.

00:15:07:08 - 00:15:08:28
Everything is like here, right?

00:15:08:28 - 00:15:11:26
We just have to know how to tap into it.

00:15:11:26 - 00:15:14:16
Do you ever find that your students might try

00:15:14:16 - 00:15:19:08
too hard, and that sort of blocks their ability to,

00:15:19:23 - 00:15:22:27
to help with or generate the healing, let's say.

00:15:23:07 - 00:15:24:21
For themselves.

00:15:24:21 - 00:15:26:23
For someone else or for themselves?

00:15:26:23 - 00:15:29:28
I know, like I've done cranial sacral classes, and if you

00:15:29:28 - 00:15:34:01
try too hard with that type of modality, which is kind of similar

00:15:34:01 - 00:15:37:01
to Reiki, different, but it has a parallel,

00:15:37:04 - 00:15:40:15
if you try too hard, you will block

00:15:40:15 - 00:15:43:15
whatever healing potential is there.

00:15:43:18 - 00:15:45:07
Does that happen in Reiki too?

00:15:47:13 - 00:15:49:06
Maybe the way to look at

00:15:49:06 - 00:15:52:06
it is more of how we are

00:15:53:00 - 00:15:55:06
kind of looking at Reiki.

00:15:55:06 - 00:15:58:13
It is not us actually to heal the other person.

00:15:58:21 - 00:15:59:27
It's not me, right?

00:15:59:27 - 00:16:02:25
Right. Whatever we do is that we are just

00:16:02:25 - 00:16:05:25
activating or inviting the Reiki lifeforce.

00:16:05:27 - 00:16:08:27
If we have that without our ego, because

00:16:09:26 - 00:16:12:00
we don't really know, like,

00:16:12:00 - 00:16:15:06
wow, you have this issue or you have, you know, not like that.

00:16:15:15 - 00:16:18:23
It's just mainly the, the ideas to have the Reiki

00:16:18:23 - 00:16:22:15
so it can work on you to gain that balance.

00:16:22:28 - 00:16:24:29
So it has the intelligent way.

00:16:24:29 - 00:16:29:21
If I myself get kind of away like my ego

00:16:29:26 - 00:16:33:14
or like whatever, I know best I can really heal others.

00:16:33:14 - 00:16:34:20
But it's not that.

00:16:34:20 - 00:16:36:17
It's mainly the Reiki lifeforce that

00:16:37:18 - 00:16:38:19
interact with

00:16:38:19 - 00:16:42:08
our own healing system, and then it does its own work.

00:16:42:21 - 00:16:45:25
We are just more like a facilitator. Yes.

00:16:46:06 - 00:16:51:05
And and that is the powerful, powerful aspect of Reiki healing.

00:16:51:21 - 00:16:53:18
I think that that's so beautiful.

00:16:53:18 - 00:16:58:24
It's definitely something I'm interested in doing because, you know, to add that

00:16:58:24 - 00:17:04:01
to, you know, psychology and dietetics, to be able to heal people in that way.

00:17:04:14 - 00:17:06:18
I mean, you're not you're not even necessarily healing.

00:17:06:18 - 00:17:10:01
You're just channeling essentially would be amazing.

00:17:10:12 - 00:17:14:05
But if somebody can afford to take a training with you,

00:17:15:11 - 00:17:17:09
what would you suggest for them to do

00:17:17:09 - 00:17:21:20
if they were really interested in tapping into this healing force?

00:17:22:20 - 00:17:25:16
what what can they do?

00:17:25:16 - 00:17:29:19
I have some very simple, like, one minute,

00:17:30:19 - 00:17:34:04
kind of tips, in my social media

00:17:34:04 - 00:17:37:10
that I would provide to people interested

00:17:37:10 - 00:17:40:26
in, in Reiki or some other relaxation techniques.

00:17:41:21 - 00:17:45:07
And also, I know that because of the rising inflation

00:17:45:07 - 00:17:48:14
and cost of living going up, I do understand that

00:17:48:29 - 00:17:52:12
affordability is a consideration

00:17:52:12 - 00:17:57:00
that we cannot ignore depending on what people's life is going through,

00:17:57:14 - 00:18:01:18
and that's the reason I created the various programs.

00:18:01:23 - 00:18:05:18
And also, the 50 minute online workshop

00:18:06:05 - 00:18:10:24
is very affordable and they get introduced for the first half.

00:18:10:24 - 00:18:13:24
I teach them some of the techniques

00:18:13:28 - 00:18:17:18
so they can utilize it right away on the foundation.

00:18:18:05 - 00:18:21:29
And then the second half is when I give them the healing.

00:18:22:22 - 00:18:28:03
session and with the short guided meditation and also just get in touch with me

00:18:28:03 - 00:18:32:11
on the newsletter because, from time to time, I also offer

00:18:33:23 - 00:18:34:23
like a free

00:18:34:23 - 00:18:38:27
session for people to come and do some of the hand placement,

00:18:38:27 - 00:18:43:07
the Reiki hand placement, just even 10 or 15 minutes

00:18:43:14 - 00:18:48:00
is gonna completely change our mindset from beginning to the end.

00:18:48:07 - 00:18:49:16
And that's what I want.

00:18:49:16 - 00:18:53:24
The the mission is to share these tools to as many people as possible.

00:18:54:05 - 00:18:57:15
And I know we are also busy with so many different

00:18:58:06 - 00:19:00:20
like directions, but that is

00:19:00:20 - 00:19:03:27
my focus is to share with as many people as possible

00:19:04:06 - 00:19:07:06
so they can access into their own greatness.

00:19:07:27 - 00:19:10:07
Wonderful, wonderful.

00:19:10:07 - 00:19:15:03
Do you have something for our listeners right now that they might be able to do

00:19:15:24 - 00:19:19:11
to, you know, is there a meditation that they can do?

00:19:19:24 - 00:19:23:29
Is there anything that, you know, you can just give to them right now

00:19:24:16 - 00:19:27:17
that will help them and guide them towards you?

00:19:28:20 - 00:19:30:23
You mean like a technique or a tool?

00:19:30:23 - 00:19:31:26
Yeah.

00:19:31:26 - 00:19:34:27
Yes. So breathing is actually very important.

00:19:35:00 - 00:19:37:08
I know that we have not talked about that.

00:19:37:08 - 00:19:39:07
It is all part of us. Right.

00:19:39:07 - 00:19:43:16
Because the breathing is part of that prana that we talk about that life force.

00:19:44:20 - 00:19:47:20
Whenever that happens, I tell my students

00:19:47:26 - 00:19:50:26
just to exhale.

00:19:51:03 - 00:19:54:03
Exhale is our friend.

00:19:54:09 - 00:19:58:23
Because if we don't exhale all these things that stuck,

00:19:59:12 - 00:20:02:12
we don't have the capacity to take in more.

00:20:02:14 - 00:20:07:08
So anytime, when in doubt, if you are like busy or just so much going

00:20:07:08 - 00:20:10:18
on, focus on our breath by exhaling.

00:20:11:09 - 00:20:16:05
Either double exhale, triple exhale at the point that you are now coming back

00:20:16:05 - 00:20:19:23
to the normal way of breathing, because that tells us

00:20:20:12 - 00:20:23:03
sometimes we are so busy we don't even know.

00:20:23:03 - 00:20:27:18
Wow, that breathing can be like husky or like very fast.

00:20:28:09 - 00:20:30:10
That's the time we have to check in with ourselves.

00:20:31:11 - 00:20:33:26
How is how, how am I breathing

00:20:33:26 - 00:20:37:15
and my connecting my life force with my heart

00:20:38:04 - 00:20:41:19
and then so I can make better decisions so it all comes

00:20:41:19 - 00:20:44:22
back to the breathing aspect and which is one part of the life

00:20:44:22 - 00:20:48:14
force, that life force that is sustaining us all the time.

00:20:49:03 - 00:20:50:11
We just have to tap into it.

00:20:50:11 - 00:20:54:04
And just to bring a little science into this, because we love to do that,

00:20:54:14 - 00:20:54:24
okay?

00:20:54:24 - 00:20:58:11
We know that when we inhale, our heart rate speeds up a little bit,

00:20:58:21 - 00:21:03:02
and when we exhale, our heart rate slows down a little bit.

00:21:03:02 - 00:21:05:11
So your breathing technique that you're talking about

00:21:05:11 - 00:21:07:14
is taking advantage of that. Yes.

00:21:07:14 - 00:21:11:13
And really slowing the heart rate down and settling the nervous system. Yes.

00:21:11:13 - 00:21:13:19
Lovely. Yes. That's right.

00:21:13:19 - 00:21:17:08
And we love talking about stress here, particularly stress management.

00:21:17:13 - 00:21:19:08
Love it. Love it.

00:21:19:08 - 00:21:23:01
And you have something called the Stress Buster Kit.

00:21:23:02 - 00:21:24:08
Can you tell us about that?

00:21:26:00 - 00:21:27:17
Great question.

00:21:27:17 - 00:21:29:11
Great observation.

00:21:29:11 - 00:21:32:11
It is the 5 Minute Stress Buster Kit.

00:21:32:22 - 00:21:35:22
I was thinking because

00:21:36:08 - 00:21:40:28
being in the finance world and also knowing so many professionals

00:21:40:28 - 00:21:46:13
and entrepreneurs and caregivers have been always like so much to do.

00:21:46:18 - 00:21:49:18
They always wanted to help others.

00:21:49:21 - 00:21:53:21
When is the time for them to really focus on themselves?

00:21:53:21 - 00:21:54:07
Right.

00:21:54:07 - 00:21:57:29
So this 5 Minute Stress Buster Kit is mainly tailored

00:21:57:29 - 00:22:01:16
to the busy people like me in a way.

00:22:02:05 - 00:22:04:02
Because none of us are busy.

00:22:04:02 - 00:22:07:01
Anybody busy out there in the audience? Yeah.

00:22:07:01 - 00:22:08:21
Then this is not for you the 5 Minute Stress Buster Kit.

00:22:08:21 - 00:22:13:10
 Stress Buster Kit., because you won't be get stressed first of all.

00:22:13:21 - 00:22:14:02
Yeah.

00:22:14:02 - 00:22:17:17
And, basically is composed several,

00:22:18:07 - 00:22:22:26
very digestible modules, and each one is like 5 to 10 minutes long.

00:22:23:04 - 00:22:24:24
It has, like, tapping.

00:22:24:24 - 00:22:26:20
It has the breathing, it has,

00:22:27:27 - 00:22:28:27
some short guided

00:22:28:27 - 00:22:33:00
meditation and also the certain hand placements for the,

00:22:33:10 - 00:22:38:23
you know, as a starting point for Reiki healing, for the like in advance

00:22:39:06 - 00:22:42:11
or before the prep work for Reiki level one.

00:22:42:26 - 00:22:46:18
And it's so affordable it just because people either

00:22:46:18 - 00:22:50:03
they have money, but they have no time or they have time and no money.

00:22:50:07 - 00:22:53:17
So this kind of help the busy people

00:22:53:26 - 00:22:58:10
to really tap into it at any time, because all the modules there,

00:22:58:10 - 00:23:01:20
they just have to listen to it or sometimes they don't.

00:23:01:22 - 00:23:02:19
They feel like they don't.

00:23:02:19 - 00:23:06:19
want to do anything for themselves, like the hand placement.

00:23:06:29 - 00:23:11:14
Then they can just lay on a comfortable sofa or wherever that is comfortable

00:23:11:20 - 00:23:15:12
and listen to that module that has to be done for you,

00:23:15:12 - 00:23:19:02
which is a short guided meditation infused with the Reiki,

00:23:19:29 - 00:23:24:24
activation to de-stress, improve their sleep quality,

00:23:25:03 - 00:23:29:08
and also tap into their own inner space, their own resources.

00:23:29:08 - 00:23:32:18
So those are the few modules that are already in,

00:23:32:25 - 00:23:37:09
like kind of concluded in there from the 20 years of experience

00:23:37:09 - 00:23:41:26
that I have in terms of all that, into that little nugget.

00:23:42:07 - 00:23:44:18
Meditation sprinkled with magic.

00:23:44:18 - 00:23:46:07
That's pretty cool.

00:23:46:07 - 00:23:47:14
You mentioned tapping.

00:23:47:14 - 00:23:50:05
You mean like tapping? Like bilateral tapping?

00:23:50:05 - 00:23:50:29
Or is that.

00:23:50:29 - 00:23:54:19
Tapping is the technique, the emotional freedom technique

00:23:54:26 - 00:23:59:01
that, as taught I didn't even know that there is

00:23:59:11 - 00:24:04:01
this this name because I've been doing qigong for 20 years,

00:24:04:07 - 00:24:08:22
and I use that all the time, but I didn't know it was called tapping on part of it.

00:24:08:22 - 00:24:09:09
Right.

00:24:09:09 - 00:24:13:12
And, it actually helps sometimes I tell the students,

00:24:13:19 - 00:24:17:02
before even placing hands like the Reiki or activate on the Reiki,

00:24:17:14 - 00:24:20:22
tapping can be helpful to also tap out.

00:24:20:28 - 00:24:23:28
Like for example, you asked about like a technique.

00:24:24:08 - 00:24:28:25
One of the techniques that I show to them a lot is the tapping around the thymus.

00:24:29:06 - 00:24:31:06
As you exhale, right or the breathing.

00:24:39:20 - 00:24:40:22
just exhale it out.

00:24:40:22 - 00:24:43:24
Because a lot of times when we get stuck, most of the time

00:24:43:24 - 00:24:47:04
we felt it around here like the thymus and the heart area.

00:24:47:24 - 00:24:48:28
we just had to.

00:24:48:28 - 00:24:49:07
Yeah.

00:24:49:07 - 00:24:51:19
Do it lightly and just tap onto it.

00:24:51:19 - 00:24:52:25
Beautiful.

00:24:52:25 - 00:24:56:14
Well we are running a little low on time, and we want to know

00:24:56:14 - 00:24:59:25
if there's any questions from our audience members.

00:25:00:11 - 00:25:04:22
Does anyone have anything that they would like to ask Yan here?

00:25:05:06 - 00:25:08:14
And if you do want to, you can use the mic over here.

00:25:09:16 - 00:25:11:27
Hello? Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. Yen.

00:25:11:27 - 00:25:12:29
Thank you so much.

00:25:12:29 - 00:25:15:29
Your stories always been so powerful to me.

00:25:16:06 - 00:25:19:00
I'm curious about the tapping

00:25:19:00 - 00:25:23:06
because I had the sciatic injury from years ago, and,

00:25:23:24 - 00:25:27:05
I started doing a little bit of tapping, like, behind my, the back of my knee

00:25:27:21 - 00:25:30:21
and even actually in that area, and it goes away.

00:25:31:00 - 00:25:33:06
But I wanted to know. I mean, I love that tapping.

00:25:33:06 - 00:25:37:08
Is there a specific tapping for certain area for certain pains?

00:25:37:22 - 00:25:39:26
I mean, you mentioned the heart area.

00:25:39:26 - 00:25:44:25
But yeah, if it's like integrating with Reiki is very powerful,

00:25:45:04 - 00:25:48:08
tapping as well, even by itself is very powerful

00:25:48:22 - 00:25:52:26
and just have to it depending on what area.

00:25:53:06 - 00:25:54:12
So Reiki usually

00:25:54:12 - 00:25:58:11
would once you activate Reiki, you usually know where to do it as well.

00:25:58:11 - 00:26:02:06
So that's where like the hand placement goes whenever

00:26:02:21 - 00:26:06:04
it just leads you to where like the student, when they mention about

00:26:06:15 - 00:26:07:14
they were agitated.

00:26:07:14 - 00:26:10:18
They I tell them, select one pulse,

00:26:10:29 - 00:26:14:00
just listen to your own and you know, together.

00:26:14:00 - 00:26:17:11
And then they just like that or they put onto their heart

00:26:17:17 - 00:26:20:20
when they put onto the belly, because somehow it just kind of

00:26:21:06 - 00:26:24:00
very intuitive by the Reiki lifeforce.

00:26:24:00 - 00:26:25:26
And tapping is the same thing sometimes.

00:26:27:15 - 00:26:29:14
on level two, I

00:26:29:14 - 00:26:32:17
teach them the whole series of where to tap and all that

00:26:32:24 - 00:26:38:10
because our body is we talk about in yoga, yogic terms like the chakras, right.

00:26:38:10 - 00:26:39:09
The energy center.

00:26:39:09 - 00:26:42:17
And then qigong is more like the meridians and the pathways.

00:26:43:24 - 00:26:46:14
Our body is basically having

00:26:46:14 - 00:26:49:14
is it's like,

00:26:50:08 - 00:26:51:25
sacred geometry.

00:26:51:25 - 00:26:54:24
The top part is like a triangle

00:26:54:24 - 00:26:57:24
toward from our heart to our crown of the head.

00:26:58:01 - 00:27:01:01
And then the bottom part is from our belly

00:27:01:01 - 00:27:04:01
all the way to our first chakra, where the tailbone is.

00:27:04:15 - 00:27:08:10
And every chakra has its own energy center.

00:27:08:10 - 00:27:11:14
The energy is like all around, not just like one part or

00:27:11:23 - 00:27:14:23
there. I use sound,

00:27:15:12 - 00:27:18:28
tapping, Reiki depending on the person too

00:27:19:04 - 00:27:22:07
or the group I tailor to what they need.

00:27:23:06 - 00:27:26:14
For example, if we have a lot of challenges

00:27:26:14 - 00:27:31:02
around the lower back and also like tailbone area all around here

00:27:31:09 - 00:27:35:02
that's involving with our first chakra right on the second one,

00:27:35:16 - 00:27:40:18
and then we also need to use the sound like a lam sound and the vam sound.

00:27:40:24 - 00:27:44:29
So whenever we do practice, I also tell them to chant the sound

00:27:45:08 - 00:27:46:18
because the lam

00:27:46:18 - 00:27:51:04
It helps to restore our first chakra balance and the vam

00:27:51:04 - 00:27:52:29
sound on the second.

00:27:52:29 - 00:27:56:11
So all these things so you place your hands on wherever.

00:27:56:18 - 00:28:00:27
And also our largest joints and muscle is around the hip area.

00:28:01:07 - 00:28:04:10
And that's where all the mental and emotional.

00:28:04:22 - 00:28:06:06
agonies are stored.

00:28:06:06 - 00:28:07:16
That's why we need a tap.

00:28:07:16 - 00:28:12:21
So whenever students are like oh I feel like so emotionally drained,

00:28:13:01 - 00:28:17:14
I usually tell them to tap around the hip area and also do Reiki

00:28:17:14 - 00:28:20:14
all around the second second area

00:28:20:23 - 00:28:23:23
and also color can be utilized as well.

00:28:23:24 - 00:28:27:26
So around our second chakra, which is our sexual,

00:28:28:13 - 00:28:32:12
organs and also creativity, we usually use the orange.

00:28:32:17 - 00:28:36:05
So you eat orange, vegetables, orange fruit.

00:28:36:16 - 00:28:39:17
That helps for your second chakra, for example.

00:28:39:21 - 00:28:44:12
So sound color, tapping, Reiki and all that, right.

00:28:44:12 - 00:28:47:21
Breathing technique all that is like an integrative.

00:28:48:03 - 00:28:51:16
So you utilize it and then everything would be much better.

00:28:52:03 - 00:28:54:09
Yeah. That's fascinating I mean I also use like

00:28:55:20 - 00:28:56:09
it's interesting as

00:28:56:09 - 00:28:59:09
Reiki is so similar to life force.

00:28:59:17 - 00:29:01:19
And I've been using this all along without even knowing it.

00:29:01:19 - 00:29:02:09
Oh yeah.

00:29:02:09 - 00:29:05:15
And, but I like, like if I feel

00:29:05:15 - 00:29:08:15
certain pains, I just channel it into my body.

00:29:09:05 - 00:29:11:17
and then the the pain subsides, too, so.

00:29:11:17 - 00:29:13:19
But yeah, I'm going to try the tapping.

00:29:13:19 - 00:29:14:20
Yeah. Wonderful.

00:29:14:20 - 00:29:15:14
