Eleven episodes later and this is the finale! It's a bittersweet day because this will be the last episode of season 7 and our last interview with a Black Women Yogi... for now anyway! :)
Welcome back to another episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! In this episode, I sit down with Nyah P, yogi and Reiki Master, and we discuss the importance of confidence and empowerment, especially for Black women. Nyah discusses how reiki helps with stress, anxiety, and grounding, and shares her personal journey into reiki, which began as a holistic approach to her grandmother's illness. She emphasizes the benefits of reiki, including improved posture and voice, and the importance of self-practice. Nyah also highlights the significance of affirmations and music in her practice, and offers insights into her monthly newsletter and community reiki shares.
We talk:
Why it's important for Black women to feel empowered - 3:33
How Nyah was introduced to reiki - 14:50
How she was introduced to yoga - 23:15
Benefits of reiki - 40:23
The importance of affirmations - 49:39
One of my favorite conversations in this episode was about Nyah's spiritual practice and how she stays grounded. With all of the energy that we have to interact with on almost a daily basis, protecting your spirit is very important, so I asked how she does it. And, she talks about how she cleanses herself and her space. She also talks about the importance of grounding and how reiki works both ways, healing practitioners while they perform reiki on others, which blew my mind!
