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.
These are tips that have allowed me to manage my stress and live from a better overall space of wellbeing through the years. I hope they help you too.
Astrology has become one of my biggest loves in learning. It ties me back to my roots, when my grandfather would take me to the field on my family’s farm and show me the constellations in the night sky. I learned more about the stars and planets, and their direct impact on my life, when my parents had my birth chart done.
