Intersectional Reiki
The Japanese word ‘Reiki’ translates to ‘universal life force energy’ - the same vital essence known as chi, prana, or mana across healing traditions.
At its heart, Reiki recognizes that everything is energy, and through this understanding, we can offer gentle, complementary healing to ourselves, others, animals, environments, and all the interconnected energy systems that surround us.
Through Reiki training and attunement, you learn to become a clear conduit, or hollow bone, for this healing energy, allowing Reiki to flow naturally for the highest good of those you serve. It’s both a profound personal practice and a beautiful way to support others on their healing journey.
Kalalea is currently taking time to develop her unique Intersectional Reiki Practitioner training course, which will weave together the wisdom of multiple healing traditions.
We invite you to join our mailing list to be the first to know when these transformative classes become available.
If you’re called to begin your Reiki journey now, Kalalea warmly recommends two longtime, beloved practitioners and teachers: Lynne McMahan (enlighten.reiki@gmail.com) and Pat Czeto (patczeto@volitionwellness.com). Both bring years of experience and deep reverence to this sacred practice.
Pranayama
Pranayama is an ancient breath practice rooted in Ayurveda - often lovingly called the “Grandmother of all medicine.” This time-honored tradition recognizes the profound connections between our breath, our thoughts, and our overall wellbeing, understanding that these three elements dance together in constant relationship.
Through mindful play with breath, we gently cleanse our bodies from within, nurture and tone our nervous systems, and cultivate a steady, peaceful mind. This beautiful practice naturally builds and sustains our immunity while creating space for deeper healing to unfold.
You may have already felt pranayama’s transformative power during yoga classes or quiet moments of conscious breathing.
When we truly understand this practice and weave it into our daily lives, it becomes a powerful ally for enhancing our quality of living and connecting us more deeply to our own healing wisdom.
Kalalea is currently taking time away from teaching to deepen her own study and practice of these sacred breathing traditions.
For those called to explore pranayama more fully, she warmly recommends The Ayurvedic Institute’s pranayama trainings: https://www.ayurveda.com/.
