This episode of Reikipodden, hosted by Solkarina, explores the deep connection between Reiki, Zen Buddhism, and the symbolic power of the circle—particularly the Japanese Enso. The host emphasizes that Reiki is not energy medicine but a form of self-awareness and inner healing rooted in mindfulness and presence. She explains how the circle symbolizes wholeness, unity, and the present moment, drawing from Zen Buddhist and Shinto traditions. The episode highlights the importance of being fully present during Reiki practice, avoiding over-analysis, and letting go of the need for dramatic or paranormal experiences. Instead, the focus is on daily practice, inner balance, and the integration of inner and outer worlds. Solkarina also promotes her Nefertiti Cosmic Healing training and offers a digital course with guided sessions and personal follow-ups, encouraging listeners to participate in a Reiki Day on May 10th.
