Listeners will gain a heartfelt look into how powerful energy healing can be in transforming lives. In this episode, The Power of Energy Healing, I sit down with my dear friend Sherene Clark, who was one of my first Reiki and reflexology case studies. What began as a healing session for her turned into a profound experience that cleared blocked energy, released emotions, and ultimately shifted the entire direction of her life — from training as an early childhood educator to pursuing a career in the healing arts.
This conversation will inspire listeners to see how energy healing can open doors to self-discovery, transformation, and new possibilities. They’ll not only hear Sherene’s personal journey but also understand the ripple effect that healing can create. If you’ve ever been curious about energy work, or are looking for hope and encouragement on your own path, this episode is for you.
In this episode of Beneath the Calm, titled The Power of Energy Healing, I welcome my dear friend and fellow healer, Sherene Clark. Over 20 years ago, Sherene and I worked together in a flower shop, and later, she became one of the very first people I practiced Reiki on. What began as a simple session turned into a life-changing experience — releasing deep emotions, clearing blocked energy, and ultimately inspiring Sherene to change her career path from early childhood education to holistic healing. Together, we’ll revisit that powerful moment and explore how one healing experience can open doors to profound transformation.
Today, Sherene is a passionate holistic healer who combines her training in Reiki, reflexology, and physical therapy with a heart-centered, intuitive approach to wellness. In this conversation, she shares her journey of stepping into the healing arts, what energy healing has taught her, and why integrating mind, body, and spirit is essential for true balance. Whether you’re curious about energy work or seeking inspiration on your own path, this episode offers hope, insight, and a reminder of the power within us all to heal and transform.

In this opening segment of Beneath the Calm, Jacinta Yang sets the stage for honest, judgment-free conversations about life’s challenges and the hidden weight many carry. Guest Sherene Clark shares how her first experience with Reiki released deep-seated tension and emotions, even bringing unexpected physical reactions that later gave way to relief and calm. The discussion highlights how men, in particular, often bottle things up until the body itself shows signs of release, reminding listeners that opening up to healing can ease anger, lighten the load, and make space for real emotional strength.
In this part of Beneath the Calm, Jacinta and Sherene reflect on their decades-long connection and dive into the power of reflexology. Sherene explains how precise pressure points on the feet can trigger deep relaxation across the whole body, leaving her feeling rested for days, and how she now blends this with physical therapy to support clients holistically. She also shares striking moments where Reiki and reflexology unexpectedly eased pain and emotional weight, showing that even small, subtle practices can unlock real healing for people carrying stress, frustration, or illness.
In this segment of Beneath the Calm, Jacinta shares a powerful story of a client who moved from deep mental health struggles to clarity, humor, and resilience after consistent Reiki sessions—transformations she still finds awe-inspiring. Sherene reflects on the challenges of skepticism around energy healing, noting that while many can’t see energy the same way they can’t see Wi-Fi or radio waves, its effects—like relaxation and emotional release—are undeniable when experienced. Together, they highlight how positive intention, holistic practices, and openness to modalities like Reiki can help reduce anger, ease stress, and uncover one’s true self, even when traditional approaches fall short.
In the closing segment of Beneath the Calm, Jacinta explains the heart of the show: many of us appear calm on the outside while carrying hidden turmoil, and this space is meant to let those stories out without judgment. Sherene shares how Reiki helped her release stress, reset her perspective, and even clear the lingering weight of difficult experiences, reminding listeners that healing can bring both calm and clarity. Together, they emphasize that energy work—whether Reiki, crystals, or other holistic practices—offers a safe, non-invasive way to ease emotional burdens, reduce anger, and support anyone seeking deeper balance in life.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:46.180 Jacinta Yang: That's exactly what happened.
00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:49.100 Jacinta Yang: with today's guest, Shireen Clark.
00:02:49.950 --> 00:02:57.419 Jacinta Yang: Shireen is a passionate, holistic, Taylor, joining us from San Francisco, originally from Canada.
00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:08.069 Jacinta Yang: Her journey into wellness began in the childcare and floral industry, like myself, that nurtured her innate sensitivity and creativity.
00:03:08.950 --> 00:03:10.749 Jacinta Yang: Her path shifted.
00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:15.260 Jacinta Yang: After an eye-opening experience with energy healing.
00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:21.949 Jacinta Yang: with… Deep curiosity into healing arts about mind, body, and spirit.
00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:31.179 Jacinta Yang: That led her to… the Transformational Arts College in Toronto, where she completed her practitioner program
00:03:31.630 --> 00:03:38.249 Jacinta Yang: into diverse healing modalities, seeking to blend East and Western approaches.
00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:43.900 Jacinta Yang: Shirin then became a… Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant.
00:03:47.380 --> 00:03:52.950 Jacinta Yang: And mixing both healing modalities playing approach to wellness.
00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:57.260 Jacinta Yang: break.
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:04.180 Jacinta Yang: Shirin, would you please share your experience?
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:08.549 Jacinta Yang: With the energy healing when you first, came to me.
00:04:08.670 --> 00:04:12.370 Jacinta Yang: For, energy healing and as a case study.
00:04:12.670 --> 00:04:17.119 Sherene: Of course, I was always interested in…
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:29.830 Sherene: not just, like, the paranormal, you would call it, but as a child, I would see energy fields, and I thought everybody did. I would just see different colors around people. It wasn't afterlight, which is…
00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:36.869 Sherene: some, I guess, optometrists would call it. If you look at a light and look away, it could be a different color, it would be fields.
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:47.199 Sherene: And I actually found a book called The Celestine Prophecy when I was 13, which kind of talked about these energy fields, and it was so cool.
00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:56.200 Sherene: And it's in a story form, but it's pretty much how you can see the fields better and work with the fields,
00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:58.319 Sherene: To reach a goal, or to…
00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:01.759 Sherene: Go with your life's path, which was a touch into it, but…
00:05:01.880 --> 00:05:13.470 Sherene: when I experienced Reiki, it was almost like… having… More condensed energy Come through the body.
00:05:13.670 --> 00:05:31.940 Sherene: And I'm generally sensitive, and my nervous system's sensitive, but I could feel it. I could feel the energy go through my body when you first gave me Reiki, and it almost felt warm, your hands got really hot really quickly, and I could feel it go through my body, and then when it went from…
00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:36.209 Sherene: my head down to my legs, my… I remember my legs started…
00:05:36.350 --> 00:05:45.750 Sherene: jerking and twitching and kicking, like, literally kicking, and so I was kind of worried, but it felt… it felt like it was on purpose, and it felt…
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:52.149 Sherene: it was scary, but it felt like I was just trying to kick things out of my body, if I could.
00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:56.910 Sherene: now I know that is energy blockages being moved.
00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:05.620 Sherene: And the channels being opened, but at first, it was like, why am I twitching and kicking? And you freaked out, you're like, should I stop? What should I do?
00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:10.800 Sherene: But, as we went on, it calmed down and it calmed down.
00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:13.280 Sherene: And then my legs felt lighter.
00:06:13.410 --> 00:06:16.209 Sherene: And I could just feel the movement.
00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:22.130 Sherene: And I remember that night, yeah, it was… it was really intense, and…
00:06:22.570 --> 00:06:32.310 Sherene: now I know Ricky goes where it's needed. You can also, you know, guide and have intention, but it's gonna go where it's needed, and it…
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:41.919 Sherene: helped bring out a lot of emotions that were stuck that I didn't understand, I didn't understand that would be stuck in the body, a lot of unprocessed
00:06:42.030 --> 00:06:49.039 Sherene: things of the past, and so that night, I actually had to cancel my plans, because I just cried, and I released, and…
00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:53.390 Sherene: like, it felt good, and I knew it was the Reiki, because it was so powerful.
00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.079 Sherene: And then the next time I went back, for, for you to practice on me again.
00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:06.280 Sherene: My legs twitched, but it wasn't as big, it wasn't as crazy, so obviously it wasn't as…
00:07:06.280 --> 00:07:08.810 Jacinta Yang: I… I was terrified, I didn't know what I was doing.
00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:14.040 Sherene: was doing to you. So the second time… second time, I'm sure you weren't as freaked out.
00:07:14.260 --> 00:07:28.420 Sherene: But that also told me that, you know, what happened last time was effective, because I didn't have as much movement in my legs, and then my legs calmed down. And funny enough, I got a Reiki treatment this summer.
00:07:29.710 --> 00:07:35.829 Jacinta Yang: And my legs twitched again, because it had been so long, and I'm like, don't worry, it's normal.
00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:37.040 Sherene: It's like, don't freak out!
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:43.629 Sherene: And again, you know, it started to settle and started to settle, and actually my arms, too, went at the time.
00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:48.160 Sherene: But yeah, it was really powerful, and from there.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.789 Sherene: When you opened the floodgates, then it attracted more,
00:07:55.510 --> 00:08:01.440 Sherene: Even more experience with the energy… World, and clearing, and…
00:08:01.580 --> 00:08:04.920 Sherene: I… you also gave me the book,
00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:09.170 Sherene: Hands of Light, which was Barbara M. Brennan's approach, who…
00:08:09.210 --> 00:08:25.489 Sherene: She was a NASA scientist that started seeing fields around people, and where the disease was in the field, and colors, and became a medical intuitive. And she… this is a book where she wrote about how she saw and kind of organized it in a way, and opened a school.
00:08:25.770 --> 00:08:37.180 Sherene: Which was really cool. So that was, like, more of a scientific look at the atoms, and the fields, and what's going on, and how we hold stuff in the body. And I,
00:08:37.270 --> 00:08:48.169 Sherene: found a Barbara M. Brennan practitioner, who I worked with for a little bit, and she would do, like, actual surgery-like movements with her hands over the chakras and stuff like that. It was wild.
00:08:48.220 --> 00:09:03.989 Sherene: all sorts of childhood stuff was coming out and being repaired. It was… it was really moving. And then I found, from that, the Transformational Arts College, I was like, there's a school for this? We're, you know, like a full school where you could learn how to
00:09:04.050 --> 00:09:15.000 Sherene: channel the energy, clear yourself so you don't give your stuff to other people, which is big. And we had to practice on each other, so then I had more change and more release.
00:09:15.270 --> 00:09:17.619 Sherene: And shifting.
00:09:18.130 --> 00:09:22.150 Jacinta Yang: So, in what way would you say Reiki actually impacted your life?
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:30.240 Sherene: Well, it opened the floodgates to more healing, and more experience, and more energy modalities, and…
00:09:30.380 --> 00:09:32.880 Sherene: It just kept the train rolling.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.120 Sherene: So…
00:09:34.870 --> 00:09:37.829 Jacinta Yang: Overall, how would you say it influenced your life?
00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:54.540 Sherene: It, well, it shifted me to more of a healing journey for other people. I'd always been a caregiver, always babysat, always tried to help people, and so I still went into working with children. I think I was working with children at that time.
00:09:54.570 --> 00:10:02.510 Sherene: But, I went to school for it then, while still being a florist, but I integrated it into helping children.
00:10:02.510 --> 00:10:15.640 Sherene: And we did yoga, and we talked about chakras, and releasing energy when they were angry, because they were hitting each other. I mean, I tried to integrate it into my life and help others as much as I could, so I think it made me
00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:19.730 Sherene: Help others more effectively in a more holistic way.
00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:31.250 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, it's amazing, because I find that energy healing does, most commonly, people say it's very calming, and I've experienced people that,
00:10:31.410 --> 00:10:40.639 Jacinta Yang: A lot of anger issues do calm down significantly. Almost, you can say, the anger issues are basically.
00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:41.450 Sherene: lean.
00:10:41.790 --> 00:10:49.519 Jacinta Yang: almost non-existent. And, in my experience, other than you being the first person that really
00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:53.570 Jacinta Yang: start to twitch, and I thought you were having a seizure or something.
00:10:54.220 --> 00:11:06.580 Jacinta Yang: What I've noticed, a lot of time, when I'm practicing on my clients, men generally do twitch, or vibrate. I guess they tend to hold a lot of things in.
00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:15.070 Jacinta Yang: Yeah. Can you relate to that? Maybe even when I first worked on you, you held a lot of things inside?
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.159 Sherene: I definitely did. I always felt like I was…
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.749 Sherene: helping other people all the time, so I never really worked on myself, I just…
00:11:26.010 --> 00:11:31.740 Sherene: sucked it up and moved on, and I had 2 jobs and went to school, so I was pretty overwhelmed.
00:11:31.890 --> 00:11:42.470 Sherene: And I think there was some resistance, because when we did the program in our Reiki Healing and energy transfer in general, we actually practiced, when we were on the table.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:57.019 Sherene: seeing a brick wall, to stop the energy, and you could, because then the practitioners are like, I can't feel it anymore. And we wouldn't tell them when we saw the brick wall. And I… and I think men, especially people that they think it's all…
00:11:57.370 --> 00:12:02.839 Sherene: made up. It can actually have a general brick wall, but if you say, hey, just be open.
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.449 Jacinta Yang: They're like, oh my god, why are your hands so hot?
00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:14.199 Sherene: Like, they're on fire, you know? And so then they accept it, and it's definitely… I think that's why I had so much coming out at once.
00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:18.689 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, I know as a practitioner, we can sense when people are closed or when they're open.
00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:29.250 Jacinta Yang: Now, would you say how you incorporate this into your practice now as a Physical Therapy Assistant.
00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:37.019 Sherene: Yeah, so, obviously it's not covered by insurance, but, sometimes when I'm…
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:48.109 Sherene: just guarding a patient for doing balance training, and I gotta be like this to catch them, or I gotta hold on to their belt. Like, I'll feel heaviness. Sometimes I'll feel… and it's not everybody, and…
00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:54.330 Sherene: And sometimes I'm too tired, honestly, like, you gotta be open yourself, really, to be receiving, but…
00:12:54.430 --> 00:13:06.659 Sherene: there have been times where I'll just be guarding someone, and I'll feel, like, heaviness in my hands, maybe in their heart chakra, or a dead weight, and I just feel sad, I want to cry, like, right there, and I'm…
00:13:06.660 --> 00:13:20.620 Sherene: you know, I can't bring into the session, but maybe after we're done on my own time, I might bring up, I said, you know, like, I'm just feeling a sense of this, and, you know, what do you think about that? Because I don't want to freak them out, especially if they've never heard of anything like this.
00:13:20.650 --> 00:13:39.700 Sherene: And they… they'll say, yeah, you know what, I'm going through this old memory, and it's really been coming up, it's stressful, and I say, you know what, I'm sensing it, and I think it's time to release it, and so I can't give them Reiki, but I refer them on, so that they can start to release that.
00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:43.360 Jacinta Yang: Okay, so I think we're coming for a break now.
00:13:46.590 --> 00:13:50.230 Jacinta Yang: Actually, just a couple minutes, a minute or two.
00:13:50.610 --> 00:13:58.330 Jacinta Yang: So, we'll talk more about your experiences with, your experience with reflexology as a case study.
00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.050 Sherene: Yeah.
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.539 Sherene: The fun foot massage.
00:14:02.830 --> 00:14:03.620 Jacinta Yang: Oh, yeah.
00:14:03.870 --> 00:14:07.319 Jacinta Yang: And, so do you find that it's,
00:14:07.900 --> 00:14:13.579 Jacinta Yang: continuing to work, with energy healing for yourself? Do you work on it for yourself as well?
00:14:13.790 --> 00:14:19.790 Sherene: I try, yeah. I try. You know, you get busy, and
00:14:19.890 --> 00:14:22.219 Sherene: Sometimes I forget that's an option.
00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.909 Jacinta Yang: Do you work on your children using the…
00:14:24.910 --> 00:14:27.110 Sherene: Yeah, sometimes I do, yeah.
00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:33.320 Jacinta Yang: And what do you find, how do they respond to that? Because they're so young, they'd probably be still open.
00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:37.819 Sherene: Yeah, it's hard to tell sometimes, yeah, if it's affecting them.
00:14:38.180 --> 00:14:43.139 Jacinta Yang: Okay, and now… do they say, Mommy, what are you doing to me?
00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:46.050 Sherene: No, I mean, my daughter's only 2.
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.539 Sherene: My son's… yeah, my son's 17, so…
00:14:49.540 --> 00:14:51.229 Jacinta Yang: Have you done any Reiki?
00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:53.050 Sherene: When he was little. Oh.
00:14:53.250 --> 00:14:54.520 Jacinta Yang: Not lately.
00:14:54.650 --> 00:14:55.300 Sherene: No.
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.500 Sherene: I probably should.
00:14:57.730 --> 00:14:59.799 Sherene: Alright, looks like we're ready for a break.
00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:00.819 Jacinta Yang: Okay, yeah.
00:17:21.530 --> 00:17:25.559 Jacinta Yang: Welcome back, and thank you, Shireen, once again, for
00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:32.260 Jacinta Yang: Being a guest here, it's been so long since I've known you, what, close to 30 years?
00:17:32.530 --> 00:17:34.300 Sherene: I don't know, 16?
00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:40.800 Jacinta Yang: We've gone through so many journeys together, and it's been amazing to see
00:17:40.990 --> 00:17:43.810 Jacinta Yang: the transformation in your life, I…
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.760 Jacinta Yang: I didn't imagine at that time, when I first
00:17:46.990 --> 00:17:51.089 Jacinta Yang: practice Reiki on you, that, today you'll be…
00:17:51.490 --> 00:17:57.949 Jacinta Yang: doing healing as well. I mean, you went into… What, early childhood education?
00:17:58.820 --> 00:18:02.560 Jacinta Yang: And then, of course, there was a time I was training you to do flowers.
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.730 Jacinta Yang: And,
00:18:04.900 --> 00:18:21.969 Jacinta Yang: Neither of us imagined where this energy healing would bring us today. And thank you again for being the case study for all my energy healing, as well as reflexology. So, do you mind sharing a little bit about your experience with reflexology healing?
00:18:22.870 --> 00:18:35.109 Sherene: Yeah, at first I thought it was, you know, great foot massage, but there's something powerful when you hit the reflexes properly, right? There's…
00:18:35.330 --> 00:18:38.210 Sherene: For anybody listening,
00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:57.090 Sherene: There's… it's an old method where there's a map on your hands and your feet, mostly, and it corresponds to all the parts of the body and the organs, and you have to get on that right spot, gotta hook it sometimes, you gotta hold it in certain ways, and…
00:18:57.460 --> 00:19:04.710 Sherene: it makes effects through the rest of the body, and sometimes I would feel,
00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:11.280 Sherene: I would literally feel the, like, say the shoulders, for instance, feel them relax.
00:19:11.450 --> 00:19:25.529 Sherene: When working from the foot. It was wild. By the time you're done, my whole foot, my whole… both feet, I remember I couldn't even… I could barely get off the table. I was so, like, the deepest relaxation I think I've ever had.
00:19:25.610 --> 00:19:26.730 Jacinta Yang: No, like…
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:45.189 Sherene: I could be sinking. My body, every single, like, every part of my body was massaged directly, and my internal organs. It was wild, like, inside my body was massaged. And I remember you had this massive beanbag chair, and I just went and collapsed on it, and I slept for, like, an hour, like, hard.
00:19:45.430 --> 00:19:45.810 Jacinta Yang: Yep.
00:19:45.810 --> 00:19:52.260 Sherene: And it was such a deep rest, and my body was like, yes, stop working, stop moving, rest.
00:19:52.780 --> 00:19:59.649 Sherene: And it was so deep, and I remember for a week, I felt… like, I felt the effects of the massage. Like, I had a massage every day.
00:20:00.330 --> 00:20:03.889 Sherene: It was so cool. I was like, I want to do that again.
00:20:04.530 --> 00:20:08.430 Sherene: And obviously the hands, too. Yeah, actually…
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:14.180 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, it's amazing, because you are sensitive, you can feel it in every part of your.
00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:14.770 Sherene: embodied.
00:20:14.770 --> 00:20:21.499 Jacinta Yang: what I'm doing on your feet. I recall that when I worked on my son, he was 16 back then.
00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:37.239 Jacinta Yang: And he would tell me, mommy, I can feel something happening with my eye, my ear, you know, those reflexes on the feet. And it was quite interesting to hear, because he's so young, right? He's 16, and
00:20:37.260 --> 00:20:53.700 Jacinta Yang: I was just practicing on him, and for him to actually, to sense that and feel that, and you know, it just kind of confirms about the reflexes on the feet. And I know, personally, I like reflexology over body massage. Would you agree?
00:20:54.090 --> 00:21:02.160 Sherene: Yeah, I mean, it almost does the same thing, unless you… I've never worked on a direct knot or something that's there from somewhere else, but yeah, other than that…
00:21:02.710 --> 00:21:05.460 Sherene: Just kind of… Does the whole thing.
00:21:05.710 --> 00:21:14.379 Jacinta Yang: So, tell me how these two modalities that, you have learned in transformational arts school
00:21:14.520 --> 00:21:17.110 Jacinta Yang: And what you're doing today.
00:21:17.510 --> 00:21:17.960 Sherene: How did…
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:24.460 Jacinta Yang: Incorporate that, and… What benefits have you seen in your clients?
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:47.480 Sherene: like I said, so for reflexology, say, if I have to work on a patient's foot, like they had an ankle injury or something like that, or it's a private pay patient, then I can do whatever, you know, at their permission. I can work on the reflexes because I'm already working on the foot structure.
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.329 Jacinta Yang: So I can incorporate that.
00:21:50.330 --> 00:21:54.560 Sherene: But as a… other than Reiki, sometimes it's just…
00:21:55.060 --> 00:22:00.440 Sherene: when I touch them, sometimes they just feel calm, and they feel relaxed and safe.
00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:15.230 Sherene: with me, they report, and I think that really helps. If I have to do any massage, say, on the shoulders, neck, anything like that, sometimes it just turns on, my hands get really hot, like, boiling.
00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:20.030 Sherene: And they love it, right? They're like, oh, it feels so much better, feels good because of the heat, but…
00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:24.580 Sherene: you know, if Reiki's going in, it's gonna go, because their body wants it.
00:22:24.580 --> 00:22:24.910 Jacinta Yang: Yeah.
00:22:24.910 --> 00:22:27.540 Sherene: Because they, you know, they have to… you have to give permission
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:37.469 Sherene: to accept Reiki, and when you become a certain level of a healer, you can talk to the person's energy and see if they are accepting as a permission.
00:22:37.580 --> 00:22:44.260 Sherene: But when I do, I like to be verbal, like, hey, can I give you some positive energy, you know?
00:22:44.330 --> 00:23:02.420 Sherene: while I'm already doing something that I'm supposed to be doing, for physical therapy. But also, the world of living in energy healing and Reiki is holistic in that, it's not just about treating that one body part that I have to do, or them as a
00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:05.509 Sherene: Safe… safety in the house, or…
00:23:05.570 --> 00:23:11.439 Sherene: The one or two things you're trying to get over, it's really a holistic thing, so…
00:23:11.530 --> 00:23:16.110 Sherene: Helping them look at their lives from the bigger perspective.
00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:31.300 Sherene: Healing, emotionally, mentally, because if they can work with that, if they're frustrated, if they're angry because of their situation, some people have cancer, you know, it's…
00:23:31.550 --> 00:23:33.959 Sherene: I feel my training
00:23:35.050 --> 00:23:43.289 Sherene: helps me step back and try to help them in a holistic way, so that I'm not just trying to make them exercise.
00:23:43.750 --> 00:23:57.669 Sherene: Because I've heard that they just feel like more has been done, and they have settled more things, and healed more things, especially emotionally, and the frustration.
00:23:57.710 --> 00:24:06.320 Sherene: Getting them to be realistic, be calm. So, being in Reiki myself helps me ground and…
00:24:06.510 --> 00:24:08.499 Sherene: Be there, be present.
00:24:08.710 --> 00:24:13.570 Sherene: And being an empath is hard, because if I'm tired and I'm not…
00:24:14.050 --> 00:24:22.159 Sherene: present, I can actually take people's pain on. Or, like, I'll twist my ankle after seeing an ankle patient. Stuff like that is really annoying.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:22.720 Jacinta Yang: Yeah.
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:30.359 Sherene: So I have to remember to use Reiki in my car, at the door, to surround myself and say, you know, I'm here to help, and…
00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:45.290 Sherene: leave my stuff at the door and, be present, but take in enough so that I can help them, but not take it from them. And I had to work on that in the Transformational Arts College when first starting, because when I touched one of the other students.
00:24:45.530 --> 00:24:51.510 Sherene: I'd be like, wow, now my shoulder hurts, because they had a car accident on their shoulder, and they were holding in the anger of it.
00:24:51.590 --> 00:25:09.960 Sherene: And I'd be like, owl, like, I'd feel spikes, and then I'd be like, I can't do this. This is too much. And then, actually, the Barbara M. Brennan practitioner, she… she taught me to make my hand like the lens of a camera, so when you… the aperture opens and closes, she's like, all you have to do
00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:26.620 Sherene: Is, you know, see in your hand a camera, open it to let the energy come out, but you have a screen, like a filter, for anything coming in, so you're only taking in information you need to know to help them, and that way you don't take on the energy of their pain.
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:33.560 Sherene: Temporarily, and that was a huge help. And sometimes I… I have to bring that back and go, okay, you know, because it's…
00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:45.599 Sherene: That's just… being an empath, that's just what happens. You can be a sponge, especially if you're tired or not taking care of yourself, then your energy field gets little holes in it, and you just start taking on people's stuff.
00:25:45.910 --> 00:25:49.739 Sherene: So Reiki has helped me protect myself to help others.
00:25:49.950 --> 00:25:55.420 Jacinta Yang: Yeah. As an empath myself, I know it's like a double-edged sword.
00:25:55.590 --> 00:25:56.750 Sherene: You know? Yeah.
00:25:56.750 --> 00:26:00.210 Jacinta Yang: There's a benefit and there's, disadvantages.
00:26:01.800 --> 00:26:02.870 Jacinta Yang: And,
00:26:03.060 --> 00:26:16.960 Jacinta Yang: I… I know since I started Reiki, it changed my life, and for yourself as well, so now you were in… you were studying to be a child care educator. Now, what exactly… how did it…
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:23.360 Jacinta Yang: Made you change your mind to continue with that and go into healing.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:43.649 Sherene: Well, I was able to do the school on the side, so, like, I didn't have to stop working, and I had to work. I loved working with children, and then I loved integrating it, and I was young, I had the energy. But when I had my son, it got hard, and then when I moved here, it was hard to bring the Canadian degree down.
00:26:43.690 --> 00:26:47.380 Sherene: And I was tired… I was just too tired to work with children. So,
00:26:47.630 --> 00:26:55.630 Sherene: I… that's why I decided… I did look into possibly just doing holistic healing, but it takes time to,
00:26:55.630 --> 00:26:56.060 Jacinta Yang: build.
00:26:56.060 --> 00:27:11.319 Sherene: set up a practice, get the clientele, all the things. And I said, you know, what's something close that I can do that's still helping people? And I did a lot of sports, and I did a lot of PT myself, so, you know, I looked into it, and actually.
00:27:11.570 --> 00:27:18.939 Sherene: Had a knee thing going on, and Kaiser Permanente, which is our… well, one of the healthcare systems here.
00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:37.660 Sherene: I had an assistant who, you know, was helping me, she did great, she told me about the program, it was only 2 years and a year of prereqs, and I was like, you know, that's why I switched to do something different down here, just because the healing… because it takes time, right, to build. And I said, you know, I can always
00:27:37.890 --> 00:27:43.739 Sherene: you know, build that later, or… and I have worked with some private clients, especially with dementia.
00:27:43.910 --> 00:27:50.910 Sherene: I had this one client, who should be in and out. Wasn't Alzheimer's, but it was dementia.
00:27:50.950 --> 00:28:07.220 Sherene: And the caregiver, you know, she knew I did that. She's like, well, can you… can you do some Reiki? And I did it, because she was… she was tired anyway, and so after her exercise, she wanted to sleep, so I did the last 30 minutes. And she said, when I… the next time, she's like, oh my gosh, when she woke up.
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:15.530 Sherene: She had all this energy, she was so clear, she didn't have, like, her regular moments,
00:28:15.830 --> 00:28:20.210 Sherene: Cause then when she's off, she's off. When she's on, it's…
00:28:20.340 --> 00:28:37.610 Sherene: kind of here and there, some of the dementia symptoms, but she, like, holy… she had such a boost. You know, so we were able to integrate that a little bit with our physical therapy sessions, because it was a private pay. And reflexology I also did. And the caregiver could see the benefits.
00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:45.200 Jacinta Yang: So, do you think you may, eventually do more of energy healing once you can build up
00:28:45.530 --> 00:28:47.179 Jacinta Yang: Cliente for it.
00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:51.289 Sherene: Yeah, I'd love to. I'd love to be able to get to a place where…
00:28:51.370 --> 00:29:10.969 Sherene: you know, I could have something in the house and, you know, set a block aside for that, and what's great about my job, I work in home health only now. I don't work in the subacute hospital anymore, so I can schedule my patients. Mostly, they're mostly flexible, so I could take some at home in the morning and then go out and still see patients in their home.
00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:13.680 Sherene: So that's something I would like to do, yeah.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:19.970 Jacinta Yang: now I know that according to what you're doing, you cannot really practice unless asked, right?
00:29:20.540 --> 00:29:25.019 Sherene: Only if… If they're… if we're finished.
00:29:25.270 --> 00:29:33.710 Sherene: And they want to hire me privately after. And that's… that's for physical therapy. And then, if they want to integrate that, they can.
00:29:34.150 --> 00:29:35.620 Sherene: So I… yeah.
00:29:35.620 --> 00:29:39.300 Jacinta Yang: And what would you say was the most transformational?
00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:43.790 Jacinta Yang: That you see in clients that was open to Reiki.
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:45.590 Jacinta Yang: All the energy healing.
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.489 Sherene: that I've worked with.
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:54.180 Sherene: Mostly relaxing, I acc… again, I accidentally…
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.609 Sherene: I can't say by accident, but it turns on by itself sometimes.
00:29:58.770 --> 00:30:04.829 Sherene: And, the skilled nursing I was working in, this lady, she had a knee injury, and
00:30:05.230 --> 00:30:19.769 Sherene: I just was working on her quads, and my hands, of course, got boiling hot. I was like, okay, it's turning on. And this lady, you know, she was a talker, and she… she had a lot. She told your whole life story in, like, 10 minutes, you know.
00:30:19.930 --> 00:30:22.050 Sherene: And…
00:30:22.050 --> 00:30:23.580 Jacinta Yang: We're gonna go on break soon.
00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:32.820 Sherene: Okay, yep. It's 1 minute, I should be able to finish that. So, again, so hot, and it's…
00:30:33.990 --> 00:30:44.050 Sherene: I was doing basic tissue release, but the heat was so strong, and the energy was going on, and her pain in her knee went away. I wasn't even treating, really, her knee, I was treating her muscles.
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:57.989 Sherene: Just a little bit, and then she told everybody in the whole building, and she kept talking, and I was like, oh no! I was like… because I just was doing some soft tissue work, but it turned on because she had a lot of emotional stuff going on.
00:30:57.990 --> 00:31:04.679 Sherene: I just said, hey, it's just good energy, don't worry, and and she just was like… I was like, oh gosh, because that's when it can get…
00:31:04.830 --> 00:31:09.830 Sherene: You know, complicated, so… But that, that was transformative.
00:31:10.710 --> 00:31:13.949 Jacinta Yang: I guess we're not getting… Did we go on a break?
00:31:14.140 --> 00:31:15.950 Sherene: Alright, we'll pick it up after.
00:33:24.060 --> 00:33:27.840 Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm, a space
00:33:28.210 --> 00:33:42.190 Jacinta Yang: for conversation about Life Matters, and I want to thank, Shireen once again for sharing all her experiences with Reiki. It's, it's quite an amazing healing modality.
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:43.780 Jacinta Yang: And,
00:33:44.020 --> 00:33:55.559 Jacinta Yang: I think both of us went through quite a journey in holistic healing that we never imagined how it will impact our lives.
00:33:55.730 --> 00:33:58.109 Sherene: That's how I find the.
00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:00.949 Jacinta Yang: Energy healing being really powerful.
00:34:02.260 --> 00:34:05.820 Jacinta Yang: Over the years, I've been doing this for over…
00:34:05.970 --> 00:34:09.620 Jacinta Yang: 20 years, I'll say, about 23, 24 years.
00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:22.869 Jacinta Yang: And even to this day, I see such transformation that I never imagined possible. And I'm sure, Shireen, you can, you can relate to that, since we are both empaths.
00:34:23.170 --> 00:34:33.570 Jacinta Yang: Quite recently, I worked on a client. I had no idea, absolutely no idea, how it was going to impact her life.
00:34:33.909 --> 00:34:37.110 Jacinta Yang: She was going through, quite a,
00:34:38.170 --> 00:34:42.719 Jacinta Yang: mental health challenges that I couldn't barely understand.
00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:50.889 Jacinta Yang: what, she was saying. The only thing I could understand was she mentioned to me that she didn't want to be on a lot of medication.
00:34:51.730 --> 00:34:57.359 Jacinta Yang: So, anyhow, through the Healing Journey program, I'm able to speak with clients.
00:34:57.710 --> 00:35:06.880 Jacinta Yang: about their emotional, challenges they're going through, and then how, you know, Reiki actually works through the emotional level to the physical.
00:35:07.830 --> 00:35:17.380 Jacinta Yang: But since it was not possible to have a lucid conversation with this client, but she, dedicatedly came for the healing, and…
00:35:17.640 --> 00:35:28.240 Jacinta Yang: I just continued giving her Reiki, and over the months, Actually… Things… just changed. I was even…
00:35:28.510 --> 00:35:37.510 Jacinta Yang: astounded at the fact that, here I'm actually seeing someone totally different from the person
00:35:37.630 --> 00:35:39.210 Jacinta Yang: I first initially met.
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.239 Jacinta Yang: Initially, she mentioned that she felt like as if she had some… a rod
00:35:44.890 --> 00:35:47.180 Jacinta Yang: Through a spine that's giving us strength.
00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:51.709 Jacinta Yang: And… She… she… emerged.
00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:58.770 Jacinta Yang: And, what I found this person to be so intelligent.
00:35:59.170 --> 00:36:01.540 Jacinta Yang: Such a great sense of humor.
00:36:02.230 --> 00:36:12.019 Jacinta Yang: And, and funny, and logical, and, you know, analytical. I never imagined this was the same person.
00:36:12.680 --> 00:36:20.970 Jacinta Yang: So… Even to this day, I'm amazed at the power of the energy healing, what it can do.
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:26.179 Jacinta Yang: for so many people, I know I've… most commonly, like I said, I've…
00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:31.700 Jacinta Yang: Witness people feeling the calm, anger being reduced.
00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:35.599 Jacinta Yang: But totally to bring their real self out.
00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:46.170 Jacinta Yang: And I was told that she's no longer getting shock treatments or going to the hospital, which is amazing, which is really nice. So…
00:36:47.350 --> 00:36:48.790 Jacinta Yang: Can you tell me?
00:36:49.190 --> 00:36:55.860 Jacinta Yang: From your experience, any of such transformation happening in other people's…
00:36:56.080 --> 00:37:01.509 Jacinta Yang: That you've worked on. Like, we both know. We've both gone through a lot of changes ourselves.
00:37:02.750 --> 00:37:06.049 Jacinta Yang: So… Please share your side.
00:37:07.110 --> 00:37:12.820 Sherene: Yeah, other than, I think, like, the 10 case studies I had to do.
00:37:12.930 --> 00:37:18.059 Sherene: For the degree, for the natural… Practitioner's program
00:37:18.670 --> 00:37:21.789 Sherene: Because it was only one session.
00:37:22.200 --> 00:37:29.590 Sherene: per person. I didn't get to do multiple sessions with people and, you know, see its compounding effects.
00:37:29.770 --> 00:37:35.819 Sherene: I only have my experience, and then, you know, from…
00:37:36.010 --> 00:37:41.540 Sherene: experiences I've read in the Reiki magazine, that I get, you know, that's been…
00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:44.020 Sherene: Kind of when you go regularly.
00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:48.430 Sherene: You know, so I can't say, other than myself.
00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:57.189 Sherene: That I've seen anything like that, because I haven't, like I said, I haven't worked with someone that long, just doing the energy work.
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:04.700 Jacinta Yang: So, do you think, maybe down the road, this is something you probably would like to do more of?
00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:08.399 Jacinta Yang: Knowing how powerful this energy healing is.
00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:13.220 Sherene: Of course, and I hope I can, you know, work it out to fit
00:38:13.720 --> 00:38:18.999 Sherene: Something like that into my life, and have the space for it energetically.
00:38:19.660 --> 00:38:22.219 Sherene: Well, I know…
00:38:22.220 --> 00:38:25.100 Jacinta Yang: that when I first started it, and…
00:38:25.870 --> 00:38:30.419 Jacinta Yang: I knew back then people were skeptical about these modalities.
00:38:31.270 --> 00:38:33.609 Jacinta Yang: But, I guess I followed
00:38:33.850 --> 00:38:38.420 Jacinta Yang: my instinct can say, okay, this is what I'm gonna do, and down the road.
00:38:38.550 --> 00:38:42.600 Jacinta Yang: you know, people will start to open up, and I have seen
00:38:42.850 --> 00:38:48.439 Jacinta Yang: And experience, clients, spouses who are totally.
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:48.920 Sherene: the.
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:53.479 Jacinta Yang: Skeptical about it, but… They became a believer.
00:38:53.920 --> 00:39:03.129 Jacinta Yang: And so… I know in Canada that many people are more open now to energy healing.
00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:03.520 Sherene: Hmm.
00:39:03.520 --> 00:39:07.129 Jacinta Yang: Can you say that, in the States? What do you think?
00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:16.050 Sherene: I really think it depends on… their exposure…
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:25.390 Sherene: because… and then how open they are as a person. It's hard for people to think it would do anything, because they can't see it, right? They can't see it.
00:39:25.550 --> 00:39:37.989 Sherene: like, what do you mean you're, you know, da-da-da-da-da? But, I mean, you can't see Wi-Fi signals, you can't see radio frequencies, right? You can't see certain UV rays, but they're there. You know magnetic fields are there.
00:39:37.990 --> 00:39:38.370 Jacinta Yang: Hmm.
00:39:38.370 --> 00:39:49.990 Sherene: And there's really cool movies, like, What the Bleep Do We Know? which is a fun little documentary with a bunch of theories, with the emerging world of quantum physics.
00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:58.029 Sherene: Kind of explaining this phenomenon where, you can actually affect energy with your intention, and that's…
00:39:58.270 --> 00:40:07.589 Sherene: a branch of science that's exploring it, and that's an old movie. They came up with a second one down the rabbit hole with even more information where
00:40:07.930 --> 00:40:11.759 Sherene: they're putting in this really cool, this, guy in Japan.
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:22.299 Sherene: He took water and put it in a bottle, and he would send loving energy, hateful energy, envy, you know, jealousy, stuff like that, hate.
00:40:22.430 --> 00:40:31.940 Sherene: He would send into the water, and then they would look at how the water transformed, and they would form these beautiful, like, snowflake-like crystals if
00:40:32.070 --> 00:40:42.119 Sherene: it was love, or something positive. And then if it was a negative emotion, it would show this really odd shape, you know, that wasn't beautiful.
00:40:42.290 --> 00:40:50.969 Sherene: And it was really cool, these pictures. You gotta look it up, I gotta remember his name, I'll try to send it to you, but it's like, wow, if…
00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:58.600 Sherene: your thoughts… Are that powerful to water, and we are mostly made of water.
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:03.840 Sherene: You know, what are your negative thoughts doing to you, and your fear, and your anxiety?
00:41:03.930 --> 00:41:05.110 Jacinta Yang: And…
00:41:05.110 --> 00:41:10.169 Sherene: there's, a new program that's called Limbic System Retraining.
00:41:10.450 --> 00:41:20.470 Sherene: And it's very… it's getting a lot of traction in COVID long-haul symptoms, but it first started for folks with chemical sensitivities, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome.
00:41:20.990 --> 00:41:26.799 Sherene: electrical sensitivity, people that can't go near a TV, they can't hold a phone, and it gets worse and worse.
00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:43.909 Sherene: And what they have found, that, there's a bunch of programs now, but the first one's called DNRS, and Annie Hopper, she was one that just… the exposures kept making her debilitated. She had to, like, live outside. She couldn't even go anywhere without a mask. It was wild.
00:41:44.210 --> 00:41:46.629 Sherene: But she realized it was her thoughts.
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:58.340 Sherene: And the fear of an object that made it worse. And so the brain followed, the nervous system followed. So the brain… the energy of her thoughts were making her sick.
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:15.669 Sherene: And so she created this program where you use your thoughts to rewire your nervous system not to overreact to perfumes, chemicals, mold, all the things, and it works. It's very effective. And that's how powerful the mind is, so when it comes to
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:24.099 Sherene: Reiki and energy healing, we are just using our intention, our thoughts, which affects energy molecules, well, atoms.
00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:26.000 Sherene: to move.
00:42:26.120 --> 00:42:41.469 Sherene: And it's really cool, the science, so if anybody's listening to this, what the bleep do we know down the rabbit hole, obviously a lot of theory, and there's some proven stuff when they put the particle accelerators and all that.
00:42:41.780 --> 00:42:49.259 Sherene: But it's really cool if you think about some of these experiments and what they're seeing, and even all the studies for longevity.
00:42:49.550 --> 00:43:05.210 Sherene: Even if you smoke, in rare cases, if you are positive, happy, optimistic, and are surrounded with people and social situations, you are healthier than someone who doesn't smoke and is isolated and lives alone and is negative.
00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:20.200 Sherene: And it's been… it's been shown how powerful our positive thoughts are, and with Reiki, we are channeling, but it is positive, loving energy. And, you know, that's my correlation to… to the two.
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:24.849 Sherene: And just what I've seen, and how powerful it is. So when people are skeptic.
00:43:25.060 --> 00:43:30.430 Sherene: It is hard to try to rope somebody into it that,
00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:34.770 Sherene: has no idea what energy is, I never heard of it, or…
00:43:34.770 --> 00:43:37.120 Jacinta Yang: It's hard to describe, you know, so…
00:43:37.120 --> 00:43:52.580 Sherene: It is, and somebody maybe who goes to yoga and does breathing and meditation, they may be more open to it, because they hear about energy and stuff like that, maybe, but if someone's never heard of it, never meditated, you know, it can be a hard sell, right? Because you're like, you're doing what? With what? You know?
00:43:52.940 --> 00:44:03.110 Sherene: If they talk to someone who's had it, they're like, dude, like, I am, like, super relaxed. You can even just say this is a relaxing modality, you will feel calm. That's all you gotta do, and then if stuff happens.
00:44:03.110 --> 00:44:03.460 Jacinta Yang: Damn.
00:44:03.460 --> 00:44:13.950 Sherene: that's what I would do, for some of my friends who've never heard of it. I'd say, this is just to help you relax, it's a calming energy, kind of like good vibes, you know, and then stuff would come up for them.
00:44:14.140 --> 00:44:33.910 Sherene: Yeah. Or sometimes stuff will come up for me, where I'd see them as a child, and I'd feel sad all of a sudden, and I'd bring that up. They're like, yeah, I was just thinking that. They might get freaked out a little bit. But I said, this is what the energy does, it's trying to move it away. You know, so sometimes you can just be… give them a little bit of information, and not overwhelm them, and make it look…
00:44:34.370 --> 00:44:41.389 Sherene: kind of esoteric, you know, if I could say, for people that have no…
00:44:41.950 --> 00:44:48.279 Sherene: Never heard of it, not experienced it. Or maybe they're curious, and you can just take it slow, you know?
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:52.449 Jacinta Yang: Okay, I guess it's time for us to go on to a break again.
00:44:53.740 --> 00:44:54.449 Jacinta Yang: We'll talk some more.
00:44:54.630 --> 00:44:55.650 Sherene: See you soon.
00:46:44.310 --> 00:46:57.570 Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm. Thank you for joining us today. This space is basically for anyone that wants to have a safe space to share stories without feeling judged.
00:46:57.770 --> 00:47:01.730 Jacinta Yang: The reason why we call this Beneath the Commas…
00:47:01.900 --> 00:47:12.360 Jacinta Yang: Many of us go have a calm exterior, but meanwhile, we're going through a lot of, emotional turmoil inside, trying to stay strong.
00:47:12.690 --> 00:47:21.409 Jacinta Yang: So the idea of creating this space is that… a place where you feel safe, Heard and shared stories.
00:47:21.640 --> 00:47:23.579 Jacinta Yang: Without feeling judgment.
00:47:23.720 --> 00:47:31.610 Jacinta Yang: And today, we're talking about the power of energy healing, and how it has transformed not only my life.
00:47:31.770 --> 00:47:37.910 Jacinta Yang: But the life of a guest here, Shireen, Shireen Clark, who…
00:47:38.110 --> 00:47:48.269 Jacinta Yang: Started out her journey as an early childhood educator and florist to now a holistic practitioner like myself.
00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:51.269 Jacinta Yang: And we've gone through many,
00:47:51.420 --> 00:47:59.000 Jacinta Yang: transformational, journey here. I witnessed it, and that's what we are, sharing today.
00:47:59.220 --> 00:48:12.999 Jacinta Yang: Shireen, welcome back, and again, I can't thank you enough. It's been such a great pleasure knowing you all these years. We've been through a lot together, and we've seen
00:48:14.010 --> 00:48:17.400 Jacinta Yang: The, the changes in our lives.
00:48:17.690 --> 00:48:24.379 Jacinta Yang: So, Shireen, is there something that you can share to… for our listeners of
00:48:24.670 --> 00:48:31.279 Jacinta Yang: How this energy healing is powerful, what they can gain from this.
00:48:34.670 --> 00:48:35.560 Jacinta Yang: Unmute.
00:48:38.780 --> 00:48:43.880 Sherene: Yeah, so I can share, a more recent experience. So, even though…
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.390 Sherene: Reiki can be so powerful, and…
00:48:47.490 --> 00:48:55.869 Sherene: You can do it on yourself if you get a Reiki 1-level attunement, it's called. You can do self-Reiki for times of stress.
00:48:55.940 --> 00:49:07.709 Sherene: Like I said, sounding… surrounding myself in a boundary before I go into a patient's home. But sometimes life gets busy, and it's like you can forget that you have this great tool.
00:49:07.820 --> 00:49:14.880 Sherene: And so, I've had some unfortunate repetitions of difficult homes.
00:49:14.890 --> 00:49:28.149 Sherene: where there's been some crawl space issues and mold and illness, and so I'd move again, and it happens again, and then I moved again, and it happened again, and I was like, I need to clear this energy, this is ridiculous. Like, this is enough, I'm unwell.
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:34.130 Sherene: And then I tried to make sure the next house is good, and then something happens, so I said, I need…
00:49:34.290 --> 00:49:37.969 Sherene: I need, like, in-person Reiki, I need it now.
00:49:38.210 --> 00:49:45.220 Sherene: And I remembered it, I'm like, I need it. Because what it can do, number one, when you feel so frazzled, overwhelmed.
00:49:45.340 --> 00:49:48.290 Sherene: It can help calm you for a moment, and then…
00:49:48.500 --> 00:49:53.120 Sherene: Help you organize yourself, and get perspective, help you step back.
00:49:53.270 --> 00:49:58.520 Sherene: And so that's what I did, is after 2 Reiki sessions, I was able to…
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:14.699 Sherene: literally almost, like, step out of the earth, look down, the little dot that's my life, and, come at it with compassion and love, and not the… all the negative emotions and stress and frustration. And it told me…
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:26.910 Sherene: That, number one, like, that house needed to be healed. That's not my problem, but it had to be done. You know, Reiki the whole house, and…
00:50:27.270 --> 00:50:32.950 Sherene: You know, to… keep working on Reiki to shed
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:38.200 Sherene: those attachments and those emotions, so that I didn't bring them into my reality again.
00:50:38.460 --> 00:50:45.470 Sherene: And so working on that really helped. And also, I would attract these homes
00:50:45.620 --> 00:50:58.349 Sherene: that I would work in that also had contaminations, and they don't smell it, they're… I guess they are used to it, and their bodies can detox it well, and they're not sensitive, they don't even smell it, but, you know, I can wear a mask.
00:50:58.900 --> 00:51:05.919 Sherene: But, working, using Reiki with that intention to clear those old pathways
00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:18.179 Sherene: And to not fear the future of attracting another house like that, resetting intentions. So it's kind of like getting a grip on your life and not feeling so out of control.
00:51:18.230 --> 00:51:28.530 Sherene: Helping you organize yourself, helping to organize your emotions. Like, it just… it's almost just like a fluffy cloud going through your body and just calming you down.
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:37.260 Sherene: So that you can actually organize, from a stressful situation. Like, it's an actual stressful remedy.
00:51:37.270 --> 00:51:39.350 Jacinta Yang: That you can use, and…
00:51:39.350 --> 00:51:41.479 Sherene: when I got really overwhelmed.
00:51:41.750 --> 00:51:49.120 Sherene: I didn't think about talk therapy, psychology, therapists, I thought Reiki immediately. I'm like, this will be the fastest.
00:51:49.470 --> 00:52:08.469 Sherene: the most calm, and the practitioner was great, because she was able to help me get a bit further as I was working through the things, verbally, because sometimes you feel so much, but then you gotta get in your brain and take it and organize it, so that you can problem solve.
00:52:08.640 --> 00:52:12.029 Sherene: And she was a great practitioner for that.
00:52:12.410 --> 00:52:16.479 Sherene: And it was actually on the ocean in Pacifica, so it's right on the beach.
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:16.830 Jacinta Yang: Run.
00:52:16.830 --> 00:52:34.110 Sherene: And so then I said, you know what, like, I had a hard time turning on my Reiki sometimes because of all of it, so I did my, second degree Reiki. Even though I haven't completely finished the case studies because I'm busy, I just wanted the second attunement.
00:52:34.230 --> 00:52:39.689 Sherene: to open me up even more, so that I could continue to heal myself.
00:52:39.860 --> 00:52:43.230 Sherene: And sure enough, when I did that, I just…
00:52:43.460 --> 00:52:57.599 Sherene: my Reiki wanted to turn on for everybody for a few days, because it was so open and such an open channel. It's just so powerful. But we finished the second degree Reiki, like, on the ocean, Pacific Ocean. It was beautiful, and it was so healing.
00:52:57.710 --> 00:53:00.509 Sherene: And it was so… it was so grounding.
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:13.869 Sherene: Like, I… you know, you… when you have problems, you get into the problems, and you're, like, not even looking, and so what Reiki really did, it helped me not step back, but I left the earth in my meditation.
00:53:14.200 --> 00:53:23.459 Sherene: So that these things were so insignificant, and it helped me get a grip, and it helped me release the emotions with these problems.
00:53:23.950 --> 00:53:37.610 Sherene: So that I could move forward. And that's only in two sessions, where talk therapy, you know, it can help, especially cognitive behavioral therapy can give you some tools where you can stop what you're thinking and do this and try that.
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:45.240 Sherene: But this hits you on so many different levels, physical, emotional, spiritual… So that,
00:53:45.460 --> 00:53:49.770 Sherene: It's not about being fast, but when you're in the depths of stress.
00:53:50.050 --> 00:54:02.839 Sherene: and you need a way out, and you need to get your grip, and that's what Reiki did for me. And maybe it was fast because I've experienced Reiki and, you know, I've had my first degree attunement at that time.
00:54:02.950 --> 00:54:08.169 Sherene: But for someone who's just really overwhelmed with life.
00:54:08.330 --> 00:54:22.469 Sherene: Or they have something they want to release. I also actually tuned into Reiki and Sound Healing in San Francisco. It's called Reiki Sound Bath. So there's people, you lie on the floor in a mat, and they come around with different sounds, because that can break up
00:54:22.470 --> 00:54:28.979 Sherene: energy blockages over the energy field, and they come over and they do Reiki over you, so I went with the intention to release
00:54:28.990 --> 00:54:36.629 Sherene: an actual abusive relationship, because it was, like, 2 years, and I'm like, I should be good at this by now, of releasing, and it was stuck.
00:54:36.680 --> 00:54:43.690 Sherene: And it was the Reiki and the sound healing that literally just helped shake things up enough so that I could
00:54:44.140 --> 00:54:54.259 Sherene: release the rest of it. It was so effective. It was the most effective thing I had done, and I'm like, why didn't I think of this? You know, I was trying to journal and do all these things, and no, Reiki.
00:54:54.260 --> 00:55:01.809 Jacinta Yang: Actually, yeah, I find that, Reiki is not the only, energy healing modality.
00:55:01.810 --> 00:55:03.010 Sherene: Of course, Sam.
00:55:03.010 --> 00:55:03.870 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, Crystal.
00:55:03.870 --> 00:55:04.800 Sherene: Yeah, yeah.
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:16.500 Jacinta Yang: healing, and that amplifies the, the energy healing and the effects. I mean, I myself got myself out of the, lot of medication I was on. You've seen me.
00:55:16.500 --> 00:55:17.350 Sherene: Oh, yeah.
00:55:17.350 --> 00:55:18.800 Jacinta Yang: the health,
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:19.589 Sherene: It was a hot mess.
00:55:19.590 --> 00:55:21.260 Jacinta Yang: I went through. Yeah.
00:55:21.260 --> 00:55:23.179 Sherene: Yeah, you were always sick, man.
00:55:23.180 --> 00:55:29.689 Jacinta Yang: Oh yeah, and Pina had to take me to the hospital, and I didn't even realize I passed out working.
00:55:30.230 --> 00:55:30.760 Sherene: Yeah.
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.599 Jacinta Yang: Well, that's all behind me because of the power of the…
00:55:33.910 --> 00:55:34.440 Sherene: energy.
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:39.470 Jacinta Yang: You know, I started with Reiki, and then when I introduced,
00:55:39.590 --> 00:55:42.959 Jacinta Yang: Crystal healing, which actually works energetically.
00:55:43.170 --> 00:55:47.609 Jacinta Yang: And that amplifies the Reiki, and that really got me out of…
00:55:47.850 --> 00:55:53.110 Jacinta Yang: On medication, you know, and I believe that it's,
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:56.820 Jacinta Yang: It's really powerful. If only we are willing to
00:55:57.180 --> 00:56:02.559 Jacinta Yang: Have an open mind, embrace it. I know, in the past.
00:56:02.820 --> 00:56:14.410 Jacinta Yang: Many of my clients who first started out coming because they were desperate for some kind of healing, and traditional medicine wasn't helping.
00:56:14.630 --> 00:56:17.410 Sherene: So, this energy healing is…
00:56:18.050 --> 00:56:24.550 Jacinta Yang: powerful, as I said. I'm still learning how powerful it is, even though I've been doing it for over 20 years.
00:56:24.550 --> 00:56:25.610 Sherene: Yep.
00:56:25.650 --> 00:56:30.439 Jacinta Yang: I'm just amazed at what else I will learn come along the way.
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:37.910 Jacinta Yang: So I do hope that you two will, you know, find the time to be able to do more.
00:56:38.150 --> 00:56:41.760 Jacinta Yang: Yeah. Not healing, it's far more powerful than hands-on.
00:56:41.970 --> 00:56:43.090 Jacinta Yang: I have experienced…
00:56:43.090 --> 00:56:44.910 Sherene: Yeah. Yeah, yep.
00:56:45.200 --> 00:56:50.329 Sherene: No, it is true, and I just, yeah, like I said, I've had some personal stuff, and
00:56:50.490 --> 00:56:52.260 Sherene: It's just a shame.
00:56:52.540 --> 00:56:55.460 Sherene: To not be able to share it with most peop- more people.
00:56:55.900 --> 00:57:03.240 Sherene: And I try when I can, on my own time, you know? There's some patients where it's in their energy, and it's screaming
00:57:03.420 --> 00:57:08.180 Sherene: for help and release, and I do my best on my own time.
00:57:08.180 --> 00:57:08.570 Jacinta Yang: Hmm.
00:57:08.570 --> 00:57:20.079 Sherene: So if any, yeah, so anybody listening who wants to try it, you just go for one session. If it's not working, just say I'm open to a little bit, and just let a little trickle in, and
00:57:20.430 --> 00:57:36.370 Sherene: You know, sometimes nothing happens the first session, but it's the second session. Maybe it's later that night you'll have a dream that helps you sort something out. And it doesn't have to be these big, cathartic things like we're talking about, but, you know, whoever is listening to this never had it,
00:57:36.370 --> 00:57:41.370 Sherene: You know, doesn't hurt to try, because it can help things that you don't even think of.
00:57:41.370 --> 00:57:44.660 Jacinta Yang: Yeah, well, I mean, it's not gonna hurt, for sure.
00:57:44.660 --> 00:57:46.290 Sherene: Yeah.
00:57:46.290 --> 00:57:57.949 Jacinta Yang: So, I'd like to thank our listeners for joining us today. A story of the power of energy healing, how it transformed our lives.
00:57:58.090 --> 00:58:02.470 Jacinta Yang: as we just heard, how it transformed Shireen's life, I'm sure
00:58:02.610 --> 00:58:08.890 Jacinta Yang: even myself, as a florist, I'm now a holistic practitioner, and we're both
00:58:09.010 --> 00:58:20.269 Jacinta Yang: Finding the ways how powerful this energy healing is, not only Reiki, but as well as other healing… energy healing modalities.
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:25.870 Jacinta Yang: And I'd like to thank everyone for joining us today, and I'll see you next week!
00:58:27.380 --> 00:58:28.600 Jacinta Yang: Thank you for having me. Bye-bye.
