The journey through grief often begins long before we realize it. For Cindy Bain, it started at age five when she witnessed her father's fatal heart attack and secretly believed she caused his death by failing to open a bottle of ginger ale he requested during his distress.
This powerful episode reveals how childhood grief can shape our lives for decades when left unaddressed. Cindy takes us through her evolution from a grief-stricken child to becoming a registered nurse working in intensive care units, and finally discovering her calling as a Reiki Master with over 23 years of experience in energy healing. She explains how Reiki—which means "spiritually guided life force energy"—works to release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and promote healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Unlike conventional treatments, Reiki isn't something "done to you" but requires openness and willingness to change. She describes how energy healing can address what she calls "ancestral baggage"—inherited beliefs and limiting patterns that operate at the subconscious level, affecting how we move through grief and other life challenges.
Whether you're struggling with recent loss or carrying unresolved grief from years past, this episode offers both comfort and practical pathways toward healing. Cindy even provides a free gift for listeners—access to a one-hour course on healing ancestral baggage that includes a guided Reiki experience you can try at home. Ready to explore how energy healing might support your grief journey? This conversation opens the door to possibilities you may never have considered.
