Paula, welcome to Ready SetReiki.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for having me and
creating this podcast and space.
I'm so excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Wonderful, so bringing in 30 years of
knowledge here into this biohere.
So let's begin our journeytogether.
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Sure, I am like many.
I think there's a lot of usright now who are therapists and
we're ready to get out of thebox that we had been put in.
Some of that might have to dowith COVID and the spaciousness
that was created at that time,but also a growing awareness
(02:58):
that the tools that we had, eventhough many of us are trauma
trained, were still not enough.
Even though many of us aretrauma trained, we're still not
enough.
And I had come across a Reikimaster on a podcast and she
talked about Reiki and you know,my box has just continued to
get bigger and bigger since then.
(03:20):
So I'm an I would say I'm, I'mfairly integrated and bring in
quite a few different modalitiesand and find the way to sort of
blend the ancient and themodern.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Beautiful, beautiful.
So we're on our journeydiscussing Reiki.
You've been doing this for sometime now, as you're out working
with others, helping level upthose that you are interacting
with.
What are the commonmisconceptions that you find
that people have about Reiki?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, I find, at least in my community, which is
psychotherapists that aresomatically based, body-based,
there's often a feeling thatReiki is a practice that might
take you out of the body, andthey are trained in
understanding that trauma livesin the body.
(04:11):
So there's a bit of a gap therein in reference to Reiki
supporting going into the body.
We can start to change some ofthose misconceptions.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Beautiful, beautiful social work, you help inner
child healing, all thesewonderful modalities that you
use to help the person with thephysical and the emotional and
mental.
But what has been the biggestchallenge or struggle you have
faced in your very own healingjourney?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
My own healing journey.
It's probably been because I wasvery deeply embedded in a
particular category of healing.
I was known as a trainer.
I treated eating disorders, Itrained people in eating
disorders, and so it was afairly fast moving bus that I
(05:19):
was on, and so putting thebrakes on and creating the space
to go travel down this, as youknow, fairly expansive journey
into the subtle energy systemwas almost like getting a whole
nother degree and trying to dothat and balance family and do
my own inner healing and um, Ithink that healing comes in
(05:51):
cycles for us, right, and soeach time we revisit something,
you know it requires, um, adeeper process, internal process
and a letting go, and so justnavigating the ups and downs of
that, with starting a whole newbusiness and then saying, wait a
minute, I think this issupposed to integrate into my
old business, it's not supposedto be a separate business.
And how do I integrate andwho's out there integrating and
(06:13):
can we integrate?
So?
So it's been a bit of a puzzle,but I feel like I'm on the
other end of it now, started in2018, late 2018, 2019.
So it's been quite a journey.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right, right, right, and many don't realize.
You know, when you have thecalling to start up a business,
right, you come up with thatidea, you come up with the name,
you come up with the logo andas you're doing the spiritual
work, as you're growing andyou're evolving, your business
shifts and changes as well.
Because you know, with FeatherSister it started out oh, I'm
(06:50):
just going to have FeatherSister yoga and it shifted in
the last four years now towellness and it was like, oh my
goodness, and you have to stopand redirect with it because
it's becoming something uniquelydifferent.
And it also takes intoconsideration you know, like,
where you're located and whatthe needs of the community are.
(07:10):
So you know this whole area ofgrowth still happens as well.
As a business owner, I agree.
Thank you for your compassionateexplanation yeah, that's what
people don't see.
I mean, it's one thing if, like, I decide to have like a hoagie
business, right, well, you knowyou're making hoagies, so.
(07:31):
But with energy work, thisshifts and changes, right.
And then, yeah, because it wasall right, I'm going to do yoga,
and then I found out laughteryoga, I want to do that.
And then the Reiki, and thenthe sound energy, and then it
goes on and on and the intuitivework, and it's like, wow, like
even in a four year growthperiod, how much it shifted and
(07:54):
changed.
But that was also needed, notonly for myself, but for the
collective.
I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I agree, it's a moving target.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It really is.
It really is.
So, with that, what do you wishyour younger self knew about
Reiki?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh boy, I love that question.
I think the first thing I wishmy younger self knew was that it
existed, because I wascertainly someone who could have
used it.
And I was also you probablyhear this a lot the type of
person who shut down myintuitive abilities at a very
young age and then it gotcovered up with trauma, and so
(08:32):
it put me at a loss for allthese gifts and self-healing
tools that I could have used hadI known and had some guidance
in that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Beautiful and you have the and I don't want to say
one particular system of Reikiis perfect.
There's a wonderful variety outthere and you find what works
well for you, but definitelythat Azui Holy Fire Reiki, would
you know, really helps withthat culturally created self,
helping to do that deep rootedhealing.
(09:03):
What appealed for me with itwas the religious trauma with
that, so that was like, ooh, Ithink I resonate with this, so
wonderful.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So, all the amazing work that you do, all these
fantastic modalities that youbring forward to clients when
it's time for you to get anenergetic tune up, what are some
qualities that you look for ina Reiki practitioner?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, I am somewhat biased because of my trauma
background that I probably tendto go to people who have some
understanding.
Particularly, I have a lot ofbirth trauma in my body and so
people that can navigate andunderstand the frequency of what
(09:53):
that that's a high voltage canbe.
And I've done a lot of somaticwork, um, and a lot of work
different types to to mitigatethat that voltage, which I think
of like kind of like if you putyour finger in a socket, that
vibrational quality, um, whenyou've got in utero trauma.
(10:16):
And so I tend to pick peoplethat have some understanding of
that and can navigate the subtleenergy system and the
physiology and the nervoussystem at the same time.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, it's interesting that you say that
Before I was introduced to Reiki, I worked at a Christian school
and the principal was apreacher and he had said very
early on like he had gone tosomebody for chiropractor and I
guess he just felt the energywas off and he always warned be
(10:48):
careful who lays hands on you.
So it really is.
When people ask, can youdescribe Reiki to me, it's just
one of those things where youhave to experience it yourself.
I can try to color it the bestway I can, but you need to
experience it for yourself andsee what works for you with that
.
So, yeah, very good.
(11:09):
So what advice would you givesomeone who's just entering
spiritual work?
You've got 30 years under yourbelt, so what wisdom do you have
to drop on us today?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, I would share one of the things that I'm still
circling back to and learning,and it's the paradox of all
healing right that we arealready whole and that we're
driven to expand into the bestversions of ourselves at the
(11:45):
same time.
And so how to hold that paradoxin a way that allows you to
still feel like enough and tocontinue to grow, and so finding
practices, teachers, books thatafford you that opportunity,
(12:08):
that teach about self-compassionand slowness and titration, and
that it's not a race right toget to the end.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And the journey itself becomes your parable,
becomes what you teach, itbecomes the gift right, right
yeah, and there's just so manyfactors, even just as women, you
know, through our lives andthings that are put on us.
It made me think of the speechthe other night that Demi Moore
spoke about that 45 years inthis industry and it was the
(12:41):
first award that she had everreceived as an actor.
And through her speech I meanhow she was told that she was
just a popcorn actress and allthese things.
And certainly when I've watchedher I thought, wow, this,
really, this is the only awardyou've gotten.
I just can't believe it.
And yeah, so it is.
(13:03):
It is a journey we, we, nomatter whether you're in Reiki
or you're an actress or you're aphysician, as a female it's,
it's you run into thesechallenges and it's just
constant growth and evolving.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, and our ability to um, to really feel our, our
own innate sense of self worthand value and divine sacredness
is um, it's a process of, ofcultivating it over and over,
and over again.
Right.
(13:35):
And, um, I do think we're inthe middle of a great shift
around that, but, um, each of ushas our own story, of course.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, yeah, and, as you said, you know it, it
started for you at birth.
With that said, you know itstarted for you at birth.
With that, you know trauma andI do yoga and adding how
important somatics is, tappingthings like that and I follow a
particular gentleman onInstagram named Gary as a human
garage and just even like beingborn by a C-section my children
(14:11):
are C-section babies and thetrauma that I didn't realize I
had from giving birth to thatbut then them being born that
way can affect them as well.
And it's like, oh, my goodness,like just these amazing things
that are coming and knowledgethat can shift and change, that
we can do something about it,that my kids can do this in
(14:33):
their 20s and they don't have towait till their 50s and 60s to
do this.
And you know, part of the greatthing is social media, like
TikTok's out there and it'snormalizing the Reiki and it's
getting it out there, so it'snot so taboo as to when, years
ago, when you you would say youhad to keep it a secret that you
were a card reader or you know,an oracle yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Well, I had the advantage of living in hawaii
for 13 years, or reiki wasrespected, of course they are
right, of course, being one ofthe places of origin of course,
madam takata.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, yes, very good, yeah, so, um, so I didn't have
as much of the places of origin.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Of course, madam Takata.
Yeah, yes, very good.
So I didn't have as much of thestigma as I had now that I'm
living in Durham, north Carolina, and in a place where you know
it's all about research anduniversity, but we do have a
center for integrative medicinearound the corner and we do have
studies that are happeningaround holistic methods and
(15:38):
psychedelics is also emerging soso it leaves me some room here
to take the sound programs thatI use and start to move.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Wonderful.
Yeah, my daughter just gotaccepted for a job at Duke
university.
She starts in July, so she willbe moving, so she'll have to
check't have to be specifically,um, you know, boxed into Reiki.
Anything that's helped you onyour journey.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
On my journey.
Well, the first book which wasone of the catalysts if there
are any um therapists listeningwas Susan Peace Bannett's book
on what's called the traumahealing toolkit, which talks
about Reiki specifically so, andalternative methods in general
(16:41):
for trauma healing and thebenefits.
So I want to make sure I talkabout that one.
Um, I also have, uh, a mentorwho has helped me understand a
little bit more about the innerchild and the soul and how we
(17:02):
can more easily invite ourselvesand the soul into the body, and
that's Gary Springfield.
He has a book called SourceDialogues.
If one hasn't read that, it'sthe type of book you read over
and over a few times and then inmy journey because I'm sound
(17:22):
healer and I work with shamanicprinciples any of Hank
Wesselman's books and CDs whichteach you how to journey, and
that's essentially what I dowith sound.
I don't use singing bowls, Iuse modern acoustics for
shamanic journeying into thebody and so.
(17:43):
But that is a, it's a brainprocess, moving into the right
brain and then into thesubconscious brain and then into
the subconscious, either upperworlds or the lower, and so I
think that those are helpfultools for those that are
engaging in their ownself-healing and want to add
(18:07):
either a a more complexconceptualization, which Gary's
book is, or some practicalmethods that they can use.
Wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because it's not uncommon now for those who feel
the calling to have manymodalities.
I mean it's very rare.
I mean just to have I'm doingReiki or I'm just doing light
language.
It just seems as we'reprogressing.
So this is where you feel thatthings are really going to shift
and change in the world, thatwe are leveling up and the
(18:40):
calling's like okay, why do Ifeel called to this?
But maybe it's something you'lluse later to help someone.
So it seems like we'repreparing our energetic toolbox.
I agree, yes, wonderful to havethese books that we can arm
ourselves with knowledge, right,so thank you for that Wonderful
.
So what other servicesmodalities do you offer?
(19:02):
Classes, events, trainings.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well, as I mentioned, one of the things I'm known for
is this unusual use of sound.
I would say so, rather thansinging bowls or a drum which a
shamanic practitioner would havea drum I use modern acoustic
frequencies that have been tunedto invite you out of fight and
flight and into safety, or thatuse the sound healing concept of
(19:32):
entrainment, similar to cranialsacral therapy, to entrain you
into different states, and sothese are programs that have
been constructed by scientistsand people in the left brain
mode, but I'm able to use thembecause I understand the
(19:55):
principles of healing and createsomething that's even more
powerful in their usage, becausesound works with our vibration,
and so when we understand that,then we can direct the sound
(20:15):
beyond what a tool might havebeen designed to do in the first
place.
So I have groups and I run thesesound journey, groups with
people, and I think the morecommon thing that occurs within
the class is this awakening andrebalancing of the right and
(20:37):
left side of the body, of themasculine and the feminine, and
there's a aspect of the healing.
I think that, for me, as apsychologist, I'm really tapping
into these archetypes that wehold within us, and we hold them
somatically, so I'm workingwith how you hold these
(21:00):
archetypes within your beliefsystem, within your behaviors,
within constructs of how youmove around the world.
So that's what I'm primarilyknown for, the world.
So that's what I'm primarilyknown for.
And then I also I'm trained inbiofield tuning, which is Eileen
(21:21):
McKusick's work with tuningforks, and so those are kind of
sprinkled in here and there tocomplement the other sound and
vibration work that I offer.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Beautiful.
Did you ever imagine, when yougot that master's degree in your
hand for your clinical socialwork, that you'd ever be working
with such amazing modalities?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I knew I was always outside of the box and
experiential, so I had aninkling that I couldn't, you
know, fit in to theprescriptions that are available
for therapists.
(22:10):
But I am so excited potentialmodality and to have it be
supported with books and thetraining and people enthusiastic
about coming in and integratingit.
No, I did not expect, and I didnot expect to be a teacher, who
(22:30):
is part of that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sure, yeah, that's all part of the journey.
So wonderful.
So where can we find you?
Are you online in person?
If someone wants to book asession with you, connect with
you.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Great.
Yes, I am primarily remote.
I have clients all over theworld, and so you can find me
and learn more about me and mygroups on my website, which is
wwwpaulaskatalonicom.
I also host, or co-host, apodcast with Leslie Rine called
(23:05):
Embodied Step Into you, and wetalk about everything from
neuroscience to spirituality, toinner child, to the masculine
and the feminine reconstructionthat's occurring right now, and
then sometimes I go to workshopsand conferences, and I have
(23:27):
some coming up in May.
That's local, if you're fromNorth Carolina, where I'll be
live and offering some soundjourney.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Wonderful, wonderful, and I'm sure I will probably
definitely see you because Iwill be visiting my daughter who
will be moving there, so she'sbeen trying to manifest me
moving there.
So we'll see.
We'll see Very good, very good.
Well, this ends the first partof our journey together and I'm
going to continue to be yourguide through the second part,
which are questions that aregathered by listeners and Reiki
(23:57):
students.
So here we go.
Number one of all yourmodalities of over 30 years of
experience, what is the oneconsistent technique or modality
that you find yourselffrequently using on either
yourself or your clients?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
find yourself frequently using on either
yourself or your clients.
Well, top of the list issomatic experiencing, or the
concept of somatics, the comingback to the body and to our
understanding of ourselves asprimarily the nervous system and
the information from the bodythat tells us about everything
(24:36):
what we're emotionally holding,how we're vibrating, if we're in
defense or if we're open andavailable for connection.
So the body as the main sourceof wisdom, and so whether that
is my tracking wisdom, and sowhether that is my tracking
(24:57):
through somatically becausethat's how I track, as one of my
skill sets um, I use my ownbody but also, I think, an
understanding of our story, ofwhere we hold places of freeze
and disconnection anddissociation from ourselves,
(25:19):
even for myself, I mean, I'vedone so much work and then I'll
put on sound system and I'll say, wow, there's some freeze in my
pathway, that's my meridian,that's going up the right leg,
and I didn't know there was morefreeze in my body.
I thought you know.
So it's just continues on andon.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, there's no, there, no-transcript, the
(26:13):
tapping things like that to givethem the tools when they can't
get to class here.
This is what you can do ifyou're in a stressful situation
or you're feeling overwhelmed,or it's a Tuesday and you just
got up and you don't know whyyou're sad, right.
So you know it's good to havethose tools here.
Number two with your extensivebackground in mind-body
(26:34):
practices, neuroscience andpsychology, how do you describe
Reiki to those who are new to itand who are unsure if Reiki is
the right fit for them?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Sure, I think of modalities as portals of entry,
right?
So somatics might be a portalof entry.
As we said, sound is a portalof entry and Reiki is a portal
of entry into deeper connectionwith self, and so, depending on
the style of Reiki and how it'sused, there's an invitation to
(27:07):
connect more deeply, not only toyourself through this embodied
practice of Reiki, but also toyour inner wisdom or your guides
or your spirit team, or howeveryou want to phrase that.
So it's a very empowering toolto bring in and can become
(27:30):
integrated into your lifestyle,rather than something that is.
I think it can get couched intoa spiritual practice, which can
be certainly part of yourapproach to spirituality, but I
think of it as your lifestyle ofunderstanding your subtle
(27:53):
energy system, and Reiki givesyou another language to be able
to navigate that Right.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Wonderful, what a beautiful explanation.
It's so interesting and ithelps those who have that
background, you know, in scienceand neuroscience, to explain it
.
It seems that there's morecredibility that comes from it.
You know so.
It's always nice.
I always like to ask those whoare doctors, nurses, in the
medical field, in the sciencefield, give me your
(28:23):
interpretation of it.
You know so, I mean, I, mybackground is a preschool
teacher and kindergarten teacher, so I'm like, well, let's,
let's do a puppet show.
Yeah, yeah, there's many waysto get there, but it comes down
to perhaps just experiencing it.
Right, you try to tell themstress, reducing modality I've
(28:45):
heard people say like atouchless massage, all different
ways.
So, and there's many, you know,as we talked about in the
beginning, misconceptions, youknow you mentioned and touching
on religion and you know itbeing a certain way, but there's
no dogma attached to it and itdoes no harm.
So, number three, can you tellme about the safe and sound
(29:06):
program?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Sure, the first thing I will say it is called
protocol, but I use programbecause I've changed the name to
suit, to suit how I use it,because I do not use it as a
protocol.
These are acoustic programsdesigned by Dr Stephen Porges,
(29:30):
who's known for his work ininterpersonal neuroscience and
the vagus nerve and thephysiology of stress.
It was originally designed forchildren with autism, to help
them come out of states ofdefense into social engagement,
but I am one of the very few inthe trauma community who got
ahold of it in 2017 andsubsequently wrote a manual
(29:54):
about how to use it with somaticexperiencing for trauma healing
, and so I use it as a traumahealing tool.
But it's essentially a programwhere you listen to music,
specifically filtered music thatfeeds you the frequency of
safety for five hours.
Now, this is titrated andpendulated into small increments
(30:17):
, because even a good thing canbe too much.
But if we think of it in similarframework to Reiki that we're
taking in resonance right,similar framework to Reiki that
we're taking in resonance right,something that's high resonance
, it's going to because we arevibrational beings then create
some expansion in the body andsome contraction, and so then,
(30:38):
if the provider knows how tohelp support that process as it
expands and contracts, then weusually can create the
conditions for memory processingto occur, and so whatever needs
to be healed, we trust theorganicity of the body comes
into consciousness and you caneither watch it like a movie or
(30:59):
work with it, and your channelsof experience are very similar
to Reiki.
You may see things, you may hearthings, you may sense things,
you may have emotions.
So it affords for thatbody-oriented type of processing
.
And then, because I will bringin Reiki and other forms of
(31:19):
energy healing during it, ifthere is activation or things
that are um stressing or D, ifthere's distress, um, the Reiki
and the other type of healingthat's part of it mitigates
what's coming up so that it'sall getting processed and
(31:41):
integrated.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Wonderful.
That's a wonderful modality tobring in Wonderful.
Well, that is our thirdquestion.
As we've been talking, is theresomething that you may have
forgotten or something you feelcalled to share with the
listeners?
The floor is yours.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I do think I would like to invite people to
consider sound in all differentways as a method of self-healing
.
Sound is free to start.
I mean, we can't pay for theseprograms, but whether it's the
(32:23):
sound of birds and nature aroundyou, whether it's the sound of
your own voice and learningabout tuning and toning, whether
it's putting on music thatspeaks to you and your soul, or
whether it's using the singingbowls or the sound program or
(32:49):
the sound program, this modality, we're just at the beginning of
the emerging science of soundand it's a very exciting time.
So I invite the listeners tostart to get creative with it
and to consider it as one of theallies that we have on this
human journey at this time.
That we have on this humanjourney at this time, right.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Beautiful.
I mean.
Sound is so important.
It's that universal language, Imean.
It really helps raise yourvibration and you know, you
think about it like you hear asong and it takes you back to
whether you're you know, andmaybe you were at a high school
dance, or it reminds you acertain person.
So it has such meaning to this.
(33:27):
So I incorporate music ineverything.
It's just such a love and Ithink that's where we can all
come in agreement on with music.
Right, we may not like the samegenre, but you can't deny that
there's a song or aninstrumental on this planet that
you resonate with.
It speaks with you.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yes, it speaks to it Absolutely.
Wonderful In the work that I do.
One of the ways that I supportindividuals is we tune into
within their biofield and theirbody and their story, biofield
(34:11):
and their body and their story,the songs that hold the emotions
that they may need to berevisiting, and so we'll use
those songs, just as you said,from their childhood as those
are offered from the innerguidance.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Right, right, like, even like the group the Beatles
has been like a soundtrackthrough my whole life.
My mother loved the Beatles andshe passed it on to me and
there was an assignment I neededto do and I just I put on
rubber sole, you know, and thatgot me pumped up and motivated
with it and it took me back towhen I would listen because she
(34:45):
had all the vinyls.
So they were on the vinyls.
But now you know, I play, Iplay it online, but but that
just changes my whole attitude.
Like how can I be sad listeningto this song that Paul
McCartney is singing?
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, they come in a lot for me and I thought I think
a lot of their songs are aboutlove.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I think so too.
I mean, really, it's thebackground soundtrack to my life
.
It really is, and just some ofthe songs I listened to, I'm
like you could have releasedthat today.
I mean, my goodness, I was likewow.
I mean just yeah, amazing,great, wonderful, well, thank
you so much.
Amazing, great, wonderful Well,thank you so much, paula.

Paula, welcome to Ready SetReiki.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for having me and
creating this podcast and space.
I'm so excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Wonderful, so bringing in 30 years of
knowledge here into this biohere.
So let's begin our journeytogether.
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Sure, I am like many.
I think there's a lot of usright now who are therapists and
we're ready to get out of thebox that we had been put in.
Some of that might have to dowith COVID and the spaciousness
that was created at that time,but also a growing awareness
(02:58):
that the tools that we had, eventhough many of us are trauma
trained, were still not enough.
Even though many of us aretrauma trained, we're still not
enough.
And I had come across a Reikimaster on a podcast and she
talked about Reiki and you know,my box has just continued to
get bigger and bigger since then.
(03:20):
So I'm an I would say I'm, I'mfairly integrated and bring in
quite a few different modalitiesand and find the way to sort of
blend the ancient and themodern.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Beautiful, beautiful.
So we're on our journeydiscussing Reiki.
You've been doing this for sometime now, as you're out working
with others, helping level upthose that you are interacting
with.
What are the commonmisconceptions that you find
that people have about Reiki?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, I find, at least in my community, which is
psychotherapists that aresomatically based, body-based,
there's often a feeling thatReiki is a practice that might
take you out of the body, andthey are trained in
understanding that trauma livesin the body.
(04:11):
So there's a bit of a gap therein in reference to Reiki
supporting going into the body.
We can start to change some ofthose misconceptions.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Beautiful, beautiful social work, you help inner
child healing, all thesewonderful modalities that you
use to help the person with thephysical and the emotional and
mental.
But what has been the biggestchallenge or struggle you have
faced in your very own healingjourney?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
My own healing journey.
It's probably been because I wasvery deeply embedded in a
particular category of healing.
I was known as a trainer.
I treated eating disorders, Itrained people in eating
disorders, and so it was afairly fast moving bus that I
(05:19):
was on, and so putting thebrakes on and creating the space
to go travel down this, as youknow, fairly expansive journey
into the subtle energy systemwas almost like getting a whole
nother degree and trying to dothat and balance family and do
my own inner healing and um, Ithink that healing comes in
(05:51):
cycles for us, right, and soeach time we revisit something,
you know it requires, um, adeeper process, internal process
and a letting go, and so justnavigating the ups and downs of
that, with starting a whole newbusiness and then saying, wait a
minute, I think this issupposed to integrate into my
old business, it's not supposedto be a separate business.
And how do I integrate andwho's out there integrating and
(06:13):
can we integrate?
So?
So it's been a bit of a puzzle,but I feel like I'm on the
other end of it now, started in2018, late 2018, 2019.
So it's been quite a journey.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right, right, right, and many don't realize.
You know, when you have thecalling to start up a business,
right, you come up with thatidea, you come up with the name,
you come up with the logo andas you're doing the spiritual
work, as you're growing andyou're evolving, your business
shifts and changes as well.
Because you know, with FeatherSister it started out oh, I'm
(06:50):
just going to have FeatherSister yoga and it shifted in
the last four years now towellness and it was like, oh my
goodness, and you have to stopand redirect with it because
it's becoming something uniquelydifferent.
And it also takes intoconsideration you know, like,
where you're located and whatthe needs of the community are.
(07:10):
So you know this whole area ofgrowth still happens as well.
As a business owner, I agree.
Thank you for your compassionateexplanation yeah, that's what
people don't see.
I mean, it's one thing if, like, I decide to have like a hoagie
business, right, well, you knowyou're making hoagies, so.
(07:31):
But with energy work, thisshifts and changes, right.
And then, yeah, because it wasall right, I'm going to do yoga,
and then I found out laughteryoga, I want to do that.
And then the Reiki, and thenthe sound energy, and then it
goes on and on and the intuitivework, and it's like, wow, like
even in a four year growthperiod, how much it shifted and
(07:54):
changed.
But that was also needed, notonly for myself, but for the
collective.
I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I agree, it's a moving target.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It really is.
It really is.
So, with that, what do you wishyour younger self knew about
Reiki?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh boy, I love that question.
I think the first thing I wishmy younger self knew was that it
existed, because I wascertainly someone who could have
used it.
And I was also you probablyhear this a lot the type of
person who shut down myintuitive abilities at a very
young age and then it gotcovered up with trauma, and so
(08:32):
it put me at a loss for allthese gifts and self-healing
tools that I could have used hadI known and had some guidance
in that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Beautiful and you have the and I don't want to say
one particular system of Reikiis perfect.
There's a wonderful variety outthere and you find what works
well for you, but definitelythat Azui Holy Fire Reiki, would
you know, really helps withthat culturally created self,
helping to do that deep rootedhealing.
(09:03):
What appealed for me with itwas the religious trauma with
that, so that was like, ooh, Ithink I resonate with this, so
wonderful.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So, all the amazing work that you do, all these
fantastic modalities that youbring forward to clients when
it's time for you to get anenergetic tune up, what are some
qualities that you look for ina Reiki practitioner?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, I am somewhat biased because of my trauma
background that I probably tendto go to people who have some
understanding.
Particularly, I have a lot ofbirth trauma in my body and so
people that can navigate andunderstand the frequency of what
(09:53):
that that's a high voltage canbe.
And I've done a lot of somaticwork, um, and a lot of work
different types to to mitigatethat that voltage, which I think
of like kind of like if you putyour finger in a socket, that
vibrational quality, um, whenyou've got in utero trauma.
(10:16):
And so I tend to pick peoplethat have some understanding of
that and can navigate the subtleenergy system and the
physiology and the nervoussystem at the same time.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, it's interesting that you say that
Before I was introduced to Reiki, I worked at a Christian school
and the principal was apreacher and he had said very
early on like he had gone tosomebody for chiropractor and I
guess he just felt the energywas off and he always warned be
(10:48):
careful who lays hands on you.
So it really is.
When people ask, can youdescribe Reiki to me, it's just
one of those things where youhave to experience it yourself.
I can try to color it the bestway I can, but you need to
experience it for yourself andsee what works for you with that
.
So, yeah, very good.
(11:09):
So what advice would you givesomeone who's just entering
spiritual work?
You've got 30 years under yourbelt, so what wisdom do you have
to drop on us today?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, I would share one of the things that I'm still
circling back to and learning,and it's the paradox of all
healing right that we arealready whole and that we're
driven to expand into the bestversions of ourselves at the
(11:45):
same time.
And so how to hold that paradoxin a way that allows you to
still feel like enough and tocontinue to grow, and so finding
practices, teachers, books thatafford you that opportunity,
(12:08):
that teach about self-compassionand slowness and titration, and
that it's not a race right toget to the end.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And the journey itself becomes your parable,
becomes what you teach, itbecomes the gift right, right
yeah, and there's just so manyfactors, even just as women, you
know, through our lives andthings that are put on us.
It made me think of the speechthe other night that Demi Moore
spoke about that 45 years inthis industry and it was the
(12:41):
first award that she had everreceived as an actor.
And through her speech I meanhow she was told that she was
just a popcorn actress and allthese things.
And certainly when I've watchedher I thought, wow, this,
really, this is the only awardyou've gotten.
I just can't believe it.
And yeah, so it is.
(13:03):
It is a journey we, we, nomatter whether you're in Reiki
or you're an actress or you're aphysician, as a female it's,
it's you run into thesechallenges and it's just
constant growth and evolving.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, and our ability to um, to really feel our, our
own innate sense of self worthand value and divine sacredness
is um, it's a process of, ofcultivating it over and over,
and over again.
Right.
(13:35):
And, um, I do think we're inthe middle of a great shift
around that, but, um, each of ushas our own story, of course.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, yeah, and, as you said, you know it, it
started for you at birth.
With that said, you know itstarted for you at birth.
With that, you know trauma andI do yoga and adding how
important somatics is, tappingthings like that and I follow a
particular gentleman onInstagram named Gary as a human
garage and just even like beingborn by a C-section my children
(14:11):
are C-section babies and thetrauma that I didn't realize I
had from giving birth to thatbut then them being born that
way can affect them as well.
And it's like, oh, my goodness,like just these amazing things
that are coming and knowledgethat can shift and change, that
we can do something about it,that my kids can do this in
(14:33):
their 20s and they don't have towait till their 50s and 60s to
do this.
And you know, part of the greatthing is social media, like
TikTok's out there and it'snormalizing the Reiki and it's
getting it out there, so it'snot so taboo as to when, years
ago, when you you would say youhad to keep it a secret that you
were a card reader or you know,an oracle yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Well, I had the advantage of living in hawaii
for 13 years, or reiki wasrespected, of course they are
right, of course, being one ofthe places of origin of course,
madam takata.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, yes, very good, yeah, so, um, so I didn't have
as much of the places of origin.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Of course, madam Takata.
Yeah, yes, very good.
So I didn't have as much of thestigma as I had now that I'm
living in Durham, north Carolina, and in a place where you know
it's all about research anduniversity, but we do have a
center for integrative medicinearound the corner and we do have
studies that are happeningaround holistic methods and
(15:38):
psychedelics is also emerging soso it leaves me some room here
to take the sound programs thatI use and start to move.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Wonderful.
Yeah, my daughter just gotaccepted for a job at Duke
university.
She starts in July, so she willbe moving, so she'll have to
check't have to be specifically,um, you know, boxed into Reiki.
Anything that's helped you onyour journey.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
On my journey.
Well, the first book which wasone of the catalysts if there
are any um therapists listeningwas Susan Peace Bannett's book
on what's called the traumahealing toolkit, which talks
about Reiki specifically so, andalternative methods in general
(16:41):
for trauma healing and thebenefits.
So I want to make sure I talkabout that one.
Um, I also have, uh, a mentorwho has helped me understand a
little bit more about the innerchild and the soul and how we
(17:02):
can more easily invite ourselvesand the soul into the body, and
that's Gary Springfield.
He has a book called SourceDialogues.
If one hasn't read that, it'sthe type of book you read over
and over a few times and then inmy journey because I'm sound
(17:22):
healer and I work with shamanicprinciples any of Hank
Wesselman's books and CDs whichteach you how to journey, and
that's essentially what I dowith sound.
I don't use singing bowls, Iuse modern acoustics for
shamanic journeying into thebody and so.
(17:43):
But that is a, it's a brainprocess, moving into the right
brain and then into thesubconscious brain and then into
the subconscious, either upperworlds or the lower, and so I
think that those are helpfultools for those that are
engaging in their ownself-healing and want to add
(18:07):
either a a more complexconceptualization, which Gary's
book is, or some practicalmethods that they can use.
Wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because it's not uncommon now for those who feel
the calling to have manymodalities.
I mean it's very rare.
I mean just to have I'm doingReiki or I'm just doing light
language.
It just seems as we'reprogressing.
So this is where you feel thatthings are really going to shift
and change in the world, thatwe are leveling up and the
(18:40):
calling's like okay, why do Ifeel called to this?
But maybe it's something you'lluse later to help someone.
So it seems like we'repreparing our energetic toolbox.
I agree, yes, wonderful to havethese books that we can arm
ourselves with knowledge, right,so thank you for that Wonderful
.
So what other servicesmodalities do you offer?
(19:02):
Classes, events, trainings.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well, as I mentioned, one of the things I'm known for
is this unusual use of sound.
I would say so, rather thansinging bowls or a drum which a
shamanic practitioner would havea drum I use modern acoustic
frequencies that have been tunedto invite you out of fight and
flight and into safety, or thatuse the sound healing concept of
(19:32):
entrainment, similar to cranialsacral therapy, to entrain you
into different states, and sothese are programs that have
been constructed by scientistsand people in the left brain
mode, but I'm able to use thembecause I understand the
(19:55):
principles of healing and createsomething that's even more
powerful in their usage, becausesound works with our vibration,
and so when we understand that,then we can direct the sound
(20:15):
beyond what a tool might havebeen designed to do in the first
place.
So I have groups and I run thesesound journey, groups with
people, and I think the morecommon thing that occurs within
the class is this awakening andrebalancing of the right and
(20:37):
left side of the body, of themasculine and the feminine, and
there's a aspect of the healing.
I think that, for me, as apsychologist, I'm really tapping
into these archetypes that wehold within us, and we hold them
somatically, so I'm workingwith how you hold these
(21:00):
archetypes within your beliefsystem, within your behaviors,
within constructs of how youmove around the world.
So that's what I'm primarilyknown for, the world.
So that's what I'm primarilyknown for.
And then I also I'm trained inbiofield tuning, which is Eileen
(21:21):
McKusick's work with tuningforks, and so those are kind of
sprinkled in here and there tocomplement the other sound and
vibration work that I offer.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Beautiful.
Did you ever imagine, when yougot that master's degree in your
hand for your clinical socialwork, that you'd ever be working
with such amazing modalities?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I knew I was always outside of the box and
experiential, so I had aninkling that I couldn't, you
know, fit in to theprescriptions that are available
for therapists.
(22:10):
But I am so excited potentialmodality and to have it be
supported with books and thetraining and people enthusiastic
about coming in and integratingit.
No, I did not expect, and I didnot expect to be a teacher, who
(22:30):
is part of that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sure, yeah, that's all part of the journey.
So wonderful.
So where can we find you?
Are you online in person?
If someone wants to book asession with you, connect with
you.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Great.
Yes, I am primarily remote.
I have clients all over theworld, and so you can find me
and learn more about me and mygroups on my website, which is
wwwpaulaskatalonicom.
I also host, or co-host, apodcast with Leslie Rine called
(23:05):
Embodied Step Into you, and wetalk about everything from
neuroscience to spirituality, toinner child, to the masculine
and the feminine reconstructionthat's occurring right now, and
then sometimes I go to workshopsand conferences, and I have
(23:27):
some coming up in May.
That's local, if you're fromNorth Carolina, where I'll be
live and offering some soundjourney.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Wonderful, wonderful, and I'm sure I will probably
definitely see you because Iwill be visiting my daughter who
will be moving there, so she'sbeen trying to manifest me
moving there.
So we'll see.
We'll see Very good, very good.
Well, this ends the first partof our journey together and I'm
going to continue to be yourguide through the second part,
which are questions that aregathered by listeners and Reiki
(23:57):
students.
So here we go.
Number one of all yourmodalities of over 30 years of
experience, what is the oneconsistent technique or modality
that you find yourselffrequently using on either
yourself or your clients?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
find yourself frequently using on either
yourself or your clients.
Well, top of the list issomatic experiencing, or the
concept of somatics, the comingback to the body and to our
understanding of ourselves asprimarily the nervous system and
the information from the bodythat tells us about everything
(24:36):
what we're emotionally holding,how we're vibrating, if we're in
defense or if we're open andavailable for connection.
So the body as the main sourceof wisdom, and so whether that
is my tracking wisdom, and sowhether that is my tracking
(24:57):
through somatically becausethat's how I track, as one of my
skill sets um, I use my ownbody but also, I think, an
understanding of our story, ofwhere we hold places of freeze
and disconnection anddissociation from ourselves,
(25:19):
even for myself, I mean, I'vedone so much work and then I'll
put on sound system and I'll say, wow, there's some freeze in my
pathway, that's my meridian,that's going up the right leg,
and I didn't know there was morefreeze in my body.
I thought you know.
So it's just continues on andon.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, there's no, there, no-transcript, the
(26:13):
tapping things like that to givethem the tools when they can't
get to class here.
This is what you can do ifyou're in a stressful situation
or you're feeling overwhelmed,or it's a Tuesday and you just
got up and you don't know whyyou're sad, right.
So you know it's good to havethose tools here.
Number two with your extensivebackground in mind-body
(26:34):
practices, neuroscience andpsychology, how do you describe
Reiki to those who are new to itand who are unsure if Reiki is
the right fit for them?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Sure, I think of modalities as portals of entry,
right?
So somatics might be a portalof entry.
As we said, sound is a portalof entry and Reiki is a portal
of entry into deeper connectionwith self, and so, depending on
the style of Reiki and how it'sused, there's an invitation to
(27:07):
connect more deeply, not only toyourself through this embodied
practice of Reiki, but also toyour inner wisdom or your guides
or your spirit team, or howeveryou want to phrase that.
So it's a very empowering toolto bring in and can become
(27:30):
integrated into your lifestyle,rather than something that is.
I think it can get couched intoa spiritual practice, which can
be certainly part of yourapproach to spirituality, but I
think of it as your lifestyle ofunderstanding your subtle
(27:53):
energy system, and Reiki givesyou another language to be able
to navigate that Right.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Wonderful, what a beautiful explanation.
It's so interesting and ithelps those who have that
background, you know, in scienceand neuroscience, to explain it
.
It seems that there's morecredibility that comes from it.
You know so.
It's always nice.
I always like to ask those whoare doctors, nurses, in the
medical field, in the sciencefield, give me your
(28:23):
interpretation of it.
You know so, I mean, I, mybackground is a preschool
teacher and kindergarten teacher, so I'm like, well, let's,
let's do a puppet show.
Yeah, yeah, there's many waysto get there, but it comes down
to perhaps just experiencing it.
Right, you try to tell themstress, reducing modality I've
(28:45):
heard people say like atouchless massage, all different
ways.
So, and there's many, you know,as we talked about in the
beginning, misconceptions, youknow you mentioned and touching
on religion and you know itbeing a certain way, but there's
no dogma attached to it and itdoes no harm.
So, number three, can you tellme about the safe and sound
(29:06):
program?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Sure, the first thing I will say it is called
protocol, but I use programbecause I've changed the name to
suit, to suit how I use it,because I do not use it as a
protocol.
These are acoustic programsdesigned by Dr Stephen Porges,
(29:30):
who's known for his work ininterpersonal neuroscience and
the vagus nerve and thephysiology of stress.
It was originally designed forchildren with autism, to help
them come out of states ofdefense into social engagement,
but I am one of the very few inthe trauma community who got
ahold of it in 2017 andsubsequently wrote a manual
(29:54):
about how to use it with somaticexperiencing for trauma healing
, and so I use it as a traumahealing tool.
But it's essentially a programwhere you listen to music,
specifically filtered music thatfeeds you the frequency of
safety for five hours.
Now, this is titrated andpendulated into small increments
(30:17):
, because even a good thing canbe too much.
But if we think of it in similarframework to Reiki that we're
taking in resonance right,similar framework to Reiki that
we're taking in resonance right,something that's high resonance
, it's going to because we arevibrational beings then create
some expansion in the body andsome contraction, and so then,
(30:38):
if the provider knows how tohelp support that process as it
expands and contracts, then weusually can create the
conditions for memory processingto occur, and so whatever needs
to be healed, we trust theorganicity of the body comes
into consciousness and you caneither watch it like a movie or
(30:59):
work with it, and your channelsof experience are very similar
to Reiki.
You may see things, you may hearthings, you may sense things,
you may have emotions.
So it affords for thatbody-oriented type of processing
.
And then, because I will bringin Reiki and other forms of
(31:19):
energy healing during it, ifthere is activation or things
that are um stressing or D, ifthere's distress, um, the Reiki
and the other type of healingthat's part of it mitigates
what's coming up so that it'sall getting processed and
(31:41):
integrated.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Wonderful.
That's a wonderful modality tobring in Wonderful.
Well, that is our thirdquestion.
As we've been talking, is theresomething that you may have
forgotten or something you feelcalled to share with the
listeners?
The floor is yours.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I do think I would like to invite people to
consider sound in all differentways as a method of self-healing
.
Sound is free to start.
I mean, we can't pay for theseprograms, but whether it's the
(32:23):
sound of birds and nature aroundyou, whether it's the sound of
your own voice and learningabout tuning and toning, whether
it's putting on music thatspeaks to you and your soul, or
whether it's using the singingbowls or the sound program or
(32:49):
the sound program, this modality, we're just at the beginning of
the emerging science of soundand it's a very exciting time.
So I invite the listeners tostart to get creative with it
and to consider it as one of theallies that we have on this
human journey at this time.
That we have on this humanjourney at this time, right.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Beautiful.
I mean.
Sound is so important.
It's that universal language, Imean.
It really helps raise yourvibration and you know, you
think about it like you hear asong and it takes you back to
whether you're you know, andmaybe you were at a high school
dance, or it reminds you acertain person.
So it has such meaning to this.
(33:27):
So I incorporate music ineverything.
It's just such a love and Ithink that's where we can all
come in agreement on with music.
Right, we may not like the samegenre, but you can't deny that
there's a song or aninstrumental on this planet that
you resonate with.
It speaks with you.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yes, it speaks to it Absolutely.
Wonderful In the work that I do.
One of the ways that I supportindividuals is we tune into
within their biofield and theirbody and their story, biofield
(34:11):
and their body and their story,the songs that hold the emotions
that they may need to berevisiting, and so we'll use
those songs, just as you said,from their childhood as those
are offered from the innerguidance.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Right, right, like, even like the group the Beatles
has been like a soundtrackthrough my whole life.
My mother loved the Beatles andshe passed it on to me and
there was an assignment I neededto do and I just I put on
rubber sole, you know, and thatgot me pumped up and motivated
with it and it took me back towhen I would listen because she
(34:45):
had all the vinyls.
So they were on the vinyls.
But now you know, I play, Iplay it online, but but that
just changes my whole attitude.
Like how can I be sad listeningto this song that Paul
McCartney is singing?
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, they come in a lot for me and I thought I think
a lot of their songs are aboutlove.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I think so too.
I mean, really, it's thebackground soundtrack to my life
.
It really is, and just some ofthe songs I listened to, I'm
like you could have releasedthat today.
I mean, my goodness, I was likewow.
I mean just yeah, amazing,great, wonderful, well, thank
you so much.
