Answering the Call
I’m Kandi Leigh, a newly minted Reiki Master Teacher answering the call through the Holistic Institute of Wellness. In 2017, I was ready to reconnect to the healing energy. I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing. I thought I was getting help to understand and heal my relationship issues. The life I had been building for the past 12 years was unraveling and I was quickly walking through a spiritual awakening. I knew I needed help staying balanced and grounded, so when Carolyn A. Jones, HIW co-founder and my RMT practitioner, suggested I get a re-attunement, I listened.
I was first exposed to Reiki almost 30 years ago. I didn’t really understand the energy; I just knew that it felt good running through my body, and I felt connected to it. So, at 15 years old, I took a Reiki I class. I was also starting high school and growing up with deep abandonment wounds. Instead of staying connected to Reiki, I embarked on the journey of learning who I am not.
Stone of the Month February 2023 – Carnelian
There are so many fabulous crystals & stones for grounding. I’ll start by saying anything black usually displays some grounding qualities. I wear a lot of black clothes, it’s my infinite go-to color, and, IMHO – it looks good with everything. However/and, personally I prefer Labradorite as my main piece of jewelry for its ability to ground my spiritual energies into my physical body.
The Fool – February 2023 Tarot Reading
The Fool advises that you lighten up. Let yourself be spontaneous enough to stretch beyond the realm of logic. There is no advantage to be gained by thinking you possess the knowledge, power, or control to direct reality. Open and receive without question, instead of trying to manage what is happening right now. The Fool has no ambition to manipulate a specific outcome. Just be happy to be part of the whole.

Stone of the Month January 2023 – Topaz
What I love about Topaz is all the glorious colors. Many think of just the golden orange of Avon : ) but Topaz also comes in blue, brown, clear, red-pink and green.
