Speaker 2: So welcome, Jocelyn. How are you today?
Speaker 4: Wow? Thank you for that introduction.
Speaker 5: Listening to all of that reminds me of how much
Speaker 5: growth that I've gone through in a couple of years,
Speaker 5: and listening to it again, it really just is so
Speaker 5: the healing roller coaster is a wild place to be
Speaker 5: on and once you start, you just it's the Disney
Speaker 5: speed pass straight through that there is just no getting off.
Speaker 5: But I'm so grateful for this journey and I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have it any other way. And I'm just so incredibly grateful,
Speaker 5: Diane for this opportunity to be with you today and
Speaker 5: talk a little bit about how Ricky found me and
Speaker 5: a little bit more about Blue Mounar Healing and why
Speaker 5: I have opened this business to support other people. So
Speaker 5: thank you again for having me.
Speaker 2: Oh awesome, of course, of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm glad you actually took a minute to
Speaker 3: like let us sink in and appreciate it, because so
Speaker 3: many times we don't we don't think about all the
Speaker 3: accomplishments that we've.
Speaker 6: Made until we actually know somebody like introduce us or
Speaker 6: read our Bible or that kind of thing where normally we're.
Speaker 2: Like that's just the day to day, like you know,
Speaker 2: you know, like.
Speaker 3: I don't know, did I do anything really great this
Speaker 3: week or this year or whatever, But yeah, yeah. I mean,
Speaker 3: let's talk about how Reiki found you. And actually we're
Speaker 3: going to go into more detail about what that is
Speaker 3: because there might be some listeners on the call that
Speaker 3: have not maybe heard of reiki. I think it's more
Speaker 3: more and more common now, but really aren't quite sure
Speaker 3: what it is.
Speaker 2: But how did Reki find you?
Speaker 5: I feel it's a great story and it found me
Speaker 5: at exactly when I needed it most back in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty one May. First, actually I lost my father in
Speaker 5: law very unexpectedly. It was very hard on my husband
Speaker 5: and his family. Within i'd say two and a half
Speaker 5: three weeks, I lost my grandmother on my dad's side,
Speaker 5: and then towards the end of that year, we had
Speaker 5: lost our cat, Stewie, who was, you know, my soul
Speaker 5: cat and he was a big part of the family,
Speaker 5: had been with us for about fifteen years, and unfortunately
Speaker 5: we had to put him to sleep before Christmas and
Speaker 5: that was tough. So how this came to be was
Speaker 5: I've always been intuitive. I was really struggling with how
Speaker 5: to make sense of losing so many people in my
Speaker 5: life that were so important in such a short time frame,
Speaker 5: and trying to make sense of what is happening with
Speaker 5: the soul and you know how to really step forward,
Speaker 5: because I was really stuck in a lot of grief.
Speaker 5: And I'll be honest with you, all three of the
Speaker 5: deaths were they impacted me in different ways, and Stewie
Speaker 5: coming at the tail end of the year really really
Speaker 5: crushed me. I didn't realize how much support he gave
Speaker 5: to the family and how much love and how much
Speaker 5: we relied on him. So probably about February of twenty
Speaker 5: twenty two, my husband and I were invited to a wedding.
Speaker 5: It was a very fancy occasion, black tie, and you know,
Speaker 5: coming out of COVID, I had let my hair grow long.
Speaker 4: I had zero.
Speaker 5: Ideas on how to style long hair because I used
Speaker 5: to have a short haircut and there there was a
Speaker 5: moved location since but there was a wellness spa and
Speaker 5: salon in my town. So I reached out and I said,
Speaker 5: do you do hair and makeup? And I said absolutely,
Speaker 5: And I said, can you take me this week?
Speaker 4: Because this is very last minute.
Speaker 5: I wasn't thinking I was going to do it, but
Speaker 5: then I realized I didn't have enough confidence to do
Speaker 5: my hair. So I went to the salon. I spent
Speaker 5: a good couple of hours there, and the woman who
Speaker 5: did my makeup was one of the owners, and we
Speaker 5: got to talking about our family and that included pets,
Speaker 5: and ironically she had a dog named Stevie and I
Speaker 5: had my cat Stewie, and were like, what are the chances?
Speaker 5: So she said, after you know, sharing how I was
Speaker 5: feeling and sharing that a piece of my heart was
Speaker 5: just like lost forever because of Stewie and also my
Speaker 5: father in law and my grandmother, she said, why don't
Speaker 5: you come in and try Reggie. Regge is something that
Speaker 5: they offer at their salon and I said, I don't
Speaker 5: even know what it is, and she said, well, you know,
Speaker 5: I help people move through a lot of things, but
Speaker 5: one of those things is grief, especially after great loss.
Speaker 5: And I thought, wow, okay, I don't know what to expect,
Speaker 5: but sure, let's give it a try. So it was
Speaker 5: around that time that I had started having my first
Speaker 5: couple of Reiki sessions, and I was so surprised at
Speaker 5: how I felt during the session and how I felt after.
Speaker 5: Also surprised at how much I cried because I didn't
Speaker 5: realize how much emotion that I was holding in from
Speaker 5: what I experienced in the last six months of the
Speaker 5: year and also a couple months later. So now we're
Speaker 5: nearing towards April of twenty twenty two. We're nearing about
Speaker 5: a year after my father in law had passed away,
Speaker 5: and Reverend Jennifer Shackford of Faith in Angels came as
Speaker 5: a recommendation to me, and someone said, why don't you
Speaker 5: go see Jen, and why don't you see if you
Speaker 5: can't bring a message from your father in law back
Speaker 5: to your family, And I thought, you know what, I'm
Speaker 5: going to do it.
Speaker 4: I'm open to it. I have no.
Speaker 5: I've never done this before, and I went to the
Speaker 5: session and I expected to hear messages from loved ones
Speaker 5: and spirit, which I did, but only in the last
Speaker 5: ten minutes. The session became about me in my journey,
Speaker 5: and Jen shared with me in that moment that reiki
Speaker 5: is something that is supposed to be part of my life,
Speaker 5: and I didn't quite believe her.
Speaker 4: In that moment. She said, yes, You're meant to have
Speaker 4: a reiki business, and I'm like, I.
Speaker 3: Just meant you, yeah, You're like, I just went to
Speaker 3: this hair salon and experienced it.
Speaker 2: Now I'm running a business.
Speaker 5: Exactly I'm like, I don't know what is going on,
Speaker 5: but okay, and then she said, well, you know what,
Speaker 5: I'm also I'm also meant to teach you and I
Speaker 5: have a mentorship program, so if you're open to it,
Speaker 5: we can start next week.
Speaker 4: And it was very matter of fact.
Speaker 5: She gave me like it was very cut and dry,
Speaker 5: and she was just like, let me know that you're good,
Speaker 5: but going to start here. And I went home and
Speaker 5: I was nervous and I'm like, oh, I've never done
Speaker 5: this before. But I ended up entering into a mentorship.
Speaker 5: It changed my life and that's when I started to
Speaker 5: learn more about reiki because Jen taught me you suey
Speaker 5: shiki roi hoo uh levels one and level two. Fast forward,
Speaker 5: I had decided to go on a trip to Costa Rica.
Speaker 5: About a year later, I am a yogi and one
Speaker 5: of my good yogi friends we met. We met at
Speaker 5: a sushi restaurant in Glastonberry and she's chatting and she said,
Speaker 5: you'll never guess what I did.
Speaker 4: I go, what did you do?
Speaker 5: She goes, I'm going on a trip and I'm leaving
Speaker 5: my husband at home and he's got the girls. And
Speaker 5: she's telling me about Costa Rica, and I thought, wow,
Speaker 5: I got to go on this trip. And I made
Speaker 5: that decision in the moment. So I go on the trip.
Speaker 5: A couple people knew that I was kind of entering
Speaker 5: in a spiritual awakening. They knew I was reiki one
Speaker 5: in two attuned. I came cart in my crystals, not
Speaker 5: sure how I was going to use them, but I
Speaker 5: came along and brought my journal.
Speaker 4: And you know, I don't know, have you ever been
Speaker 4: to Costa Rica.
Speaker 2: I haven't. Actually it's on my list.
Speaker 4: You have to go. It is a beautiful country, but
Speaker 4: the energy in Costa Rica it's a very high frequency.
Speaker 4: There are very spiritual people, I mean like the evil
Speaker 4: eyes everywhere, right.
Speaker 5: And we were there to do yoga and experience the country.
Speaker 5: So one night, the yoga instructor decided to do a
Speaker 5: yoga nidra, which is yoga sleep. It's a guided meditation
Speaker 5: rather than all of the other stretching and everything that
Speaker 5: would go on with a flow.
Speaker 4: And we had done that because we had spent the day.
Speaker 5: Kind of navigating through the jungle and we were all
Speaker 5: very tired. And when I meditate, I like to sit
Speaker 5: and meditate versus land the floor. So I've got my
Speaker 5: position on the couch and everyone's holding one of my
Speaker 5: crystals because I passed them out, and I've got my
Speaker 5: oils and we're just ready to like hop into the meditation.
Speaker 4: And I'm sitting there and I couldn't get settled. Like Diane.
Speaker 5: It was somebody in my brain saying, get up and
Speaker 5: do reky, get up and do reki. Do it, do it,
Speaker 5: do it. Try And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: I don't know if I can't. Yeah, So I stood up.
Speaker 5: I looked at Dana, the yoga instructor. I kind of
Speaker 5: gave her a nod. She gave me a nod. It
Speaker 5: was kind of like we were talking without words, and
Speaker 5: in that moment I gave everyone in the room it
Speaker 5: was like group reaky. Everyone had a certain amount of time.
Speaker 5: I was trusting my intuition. I was kind of working
Speaker 5: my way around different parts of the body. And we
Speaker 5: finish and everybody's kind of coming to and everyone's kind
Speaker 5: of all zend out and they're like, wow, I saw colors.
Speaker 5: I felt things. Were you touching me? I swear you
Speaker 5: were at my feet, but I felt you at my shoulder?
Speaker 4: What is going on?
Speaker 5: And then somebody turned around because this was the most
Speaker 5: amazing thing. We're in a room full of windows, Diane,
Speaker 5: and this only happened this one time while we were there,
Speaker 5: and we were there for a week. This one window
Speaker 5: had thirty green geckos suction cup to the window.
Speaker 7: They wanted reky, they wanted reiki, and they felt the
Speaker 7: energy because we were in the jungle, and in that moment,
Speaker 7: we were all so shocked that the energy in the
Speaker 7: room could be felt by animals outside.
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, this is oh my god.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to stop at the cliffhanger because we
Speaker 2: have to take a break. But this is perfect because we.
Speaker 3: Are coming back to talk more about this. You're listening
Speaker 3: to the Doctor Diane Show with me, Doctor Diane Hayden,
Speaker 3: and we come back, we'll splore more with Jocelyn Carr,
Speaker 3: founder of Bluemone Kaling. I'm a Doctor Diane Show with me,
Speaker 3: Doctor Diane Hayden. Before we continue, I want to make
Speaker 3: sure everyone knows how to contact me. You can find
Speaker 3: me at www dot doctor Dianeheyden dot com or at
Speaker 3: either of my two publications www dot Natural Nutmeg dot
Speaker 3: com and www dot Essential Naples dot com and you
Speaker 3: can learn more about my guests today Jocelyncarp at her
Speaker 3: website which is www dot Blue Monarch Healing dot com
Speaker 3: and that is spelled.
Speaker 2: B l u E m O n A r c
Speaker 2: h h e A l i n g dot com.
Speaker 2: So wow, what a cliffhanger.
Speaker 3: I knew we had to go to break and everyone's
Speaker 3: waiting to find out, like, what did the geckos do?
Speaker 5: They hung out in the space for like the next
Speaker 5: fifteen min it's to a half an hour, and then
Speaker 5: they disappeared and we never saw the phenomenon again. The
Speaker 5: next morning, the travel group that I that I do
Speaker 5: travel with is Twisted Dog Yogurt in Colchester, and the owner,
Speaker 5: Tracy approached me and said, Josh, what happened last night?
Speaker 5: That was amazing. I'm like, I don't know, we're magic.
Speaker 5: We raised the vibration. The animals are intuitive, they felt it,
Speaker 5: they wanted some reiki, they hopped on, you know, and
Speaker 5: she said, you know, I think that there's something here
Speaker 5: for you, So think about when we go back to Connecticut,
Speaker 5: would you want to come and do some workshops? And
Speaker 5: I was so like tickled, and I'm like, who me,
Speaker 5: Like you want me like this girl right here to
Speaker 5: come to your your place of business.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you just called all the get goos out
Speaker 3: of the forest.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: I couldn't. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5: So when I came back, I had my mentor meeting
Speaker 5: with Jen and I explained what I just shared with you,
Speaker 5: and she said, Jess, you know what, let's do it.
Speaker 5: She taught me levels three A and three B at
Speaker 5: the same time. That was in June, and by July
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty four, I took the leap and opened.
Speaker 4: An LLC and I haven't really looked back there.
Speaker 5: I just it's, you know, all systems go, riding this
Speaker 5: fun rollercuster and trusting that I have been placed exactly
Speaker 5: where I need to be and everything is just happening
Speaker 5: so organically. It's been a lot of fun, a lot
Speaker 5: of fun, very surprising things that I never thought were
Speaker 5: going to be happening, Like I'd never thought I would
Speaker 5: be doing this, and here I am spending time with you.
Speaker 4: Like how cool is that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean, and I think it's it's so fascinating to
Speaker 3: kind of see people's.
Speaker 2: Journeys when they're called to do.
Speaker 3: Something like this and it usually just happens so effortlessly,
Speaker 3: like what it's like, it's happened for you, and that's
Speaker 3: how you know that you're on the right path.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's exactly right. Yeah. Yeah, So for
Speaker 2: let's kind of just back up a bit, like for people.
Speaker 8: Who have never experienced reiki or have never maybe never
Speaker 8: even heard of the term.
Speaker 2: It's an energy type of energy work.
Speaker 3: So how would you explain that to somebody about what
Speaker 3: it is, what's happening when.
Speaker 2: You have a reiki session and you know kind of
Speaker 2: how you work.
Speaker 5: So reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and
Speaker 5: relaxation that also promotes healing, but also supports you and
Speaker 5: your overall well being, both physically, it's more than just both.
Speaker 5: It's physical, it's mental, it's emotional and spiritual. You know,
Speaker 5: when you go throughout your day in reiki, we believe
Speaker 5: that the universal life work of energy is constantly flowing
Speaker 5: in and around you. And when you have stress or trauma,
Speaker 5: that said stress or trauma will imprint on your cell's
Speaker 5: tissues and organs and create blockages in your energy centers,
Speaker 5: so your chakras, and when we talk in this conversation,
Speaker 5: we're going to talk in terms of the seven main chakras,
Speaker 5: but the body in reality has like over one hundred chakras.
Speaker 5: But what most people understand are, you know, the crown,
Speaker 5: the third eye, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus,
Speaker 5: the sacral.
Speaker 4: And the root.
Speaker 5: You know, nobody thinks that you know to understand that
Speaker 5: you could have you know, chakras on the back of
Speaker 5: your head or maybe in your ears. So when you
Speaker 5: have these stressful encounters, it causes your energy centers to
Speaker 5: either come become off balance or become blocked. And the
Speaker 5: practitioner in this case me, I serve as a channel
Speaker 5: or an instrument as I like to say, of love
Speaker 5: and healing, where I will pull the universal life force
Speaker 5: of energy through my body in and place it into
Speaker 5: yours where your body is guiding me to help you
Speaker 5: release the blackages, help to provide balance in your body.
Speaker 5: It's a very it's very relaxing. This isn't something that
Speaker 5: causes pain. This is uh some you know a lot
Speaker 5: of people actually just feel like their body is exhaling
Speaker 5: in this moment because we operate in this crazy fight
Speaker 5: and flight mode. We're moving, we're busy, we're on so
Speaker 5: much technology, we're being inundated and nobody's bodies know how
Speaker 5: to like regulate themselves anymore, and so we're constantly walking
Speaker 5: around feeling exhausted and burned out and you know, triggered,
Speaker 5: and we don't know how to deal with all of
Speaker 5: these like things coming at us, and we need to
Speaker 5: have a reiki practitioner help to free some of this
Speaker 5: so that you can leave and feel like.
Speaker 4: You're in a better mindset.
Speaker 5: You're in a better headspace, you're feeling more peaceful, you're
Speaker 5: feeling less triggered, You're.
Speaker 4: You feel like you have space again.
Speaker 5: You know, the clutter has been taken down and notch
Speaker 5: that that voice, So that's my thirty second could be
Speaker 5: more like a sixty second elevator pitch.
Speaker 6: So yeah, Basically, when someone comes for a session, they're
Speaker 6: laying on a table, right, or I guess they could
Speaker 6: even be seated or I mean you could do it
Speaker 6: in any number of ways, but absolutely probably laying down.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Do you practice.
Speaker 6: A form where you actually have hands on or you're
Speaker 6: not touching the person?
Speaker 5: So I am a hands on practitioner, and if you
Speaker 5: were coming to see me for the first time, whether
Speaker 5: it be for a sixty minute session or a ninety
Speaker 5: minute session, even before I get to the whole conversation
Speaker 5: about like I'm a hands on practitioner. I actually like
Speaker 5: to talk to people first and just spend a couple
Speaker 5: of minutes like actively listening to them and what they're
Speaker 5: saying to me as well as looking at their body language.
Speaker 5: Tells me a lot about people and where they are
Speaker 5: so that I know how to better support them. And
Speaker 5: it also gives them a chance to start to come
Speaker 5: down a notch, because when you come in for AKY,
Speaker 5: you're likely fighting traffic. You may have had a contentious
Speaker 5: conversation with a colleague. You might have been discussing who's
Speaker 5: making dinner, what is the dinner, what time you're going
Speaker 5: to be home, who's putting the kids down? The dog
Speaker 5: needs to go out, and you have to water the plants,
Speaker 5: like there's so many other things, yep. And so giving
Speaker 5: people that opportunity to kind of and then you know, say,
Speaker 5: after we kind of talk about, you know where they're
Speaker 5: at in that moment, you know, saying you know, I
Speaker 5: am a hands on practitioner and then showing a person
Speaker 5: that mean touching your head or that could mean touching
Speaker 5: your high heart?
Speaker 4: Is it okay if I touch here?
Speaker 5: I want to create a safe experience, a safe environment
Speaker 5: for people, and so it's very important to me to
Speaker 5: explain what I'm going to be doing in this session
Speaker 5: so that person feels safe and that they can come
Speaker 5: in and just fully allow themselves to release. The other
Speaker 5: thing that I would say that really helps, and it's
Speaker 5: kind of like my secret sauce. And if anybody is
Speaker 5: listening who's a reiki practitioner and you want to try it,
Speaker 5: I welcome you to do it.
Speaker 4: Because I'm a yogi, I love to do body scans.
Speaker 5: And so another element that I add to my practice
Speaker 5: before well, I kind of I'm starting reaking in this
Speaker 5: process as well as I do a body scan where
Speaker 5: we start at the toes and we're working through every
Speaker 5: body part because again, we operate and fight and flight,
Speaker 5: and so my whole goal is to help you out
Speaker 5: of fight and flight, activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and
Speaker 5: allow your body to do what it does best, and
Speaker 5: that is heal itself naturally. So we've had the hands
Speaker 5: on conversation, I've listened to where you are. I'm taking
Speaker 5: you through the body scan the process is the same, Diane,
Speaker 5: but in terms of like script per se pace, that's all.
Speaker 5: It's all different, and it's going to be different every
Speaker 5: single time because you're you're you're going to be coming
Speaker 5: in in a different place. You know, could could be
Speaker 5: a different headspace. And then I let reiki do what
Speaker 5: it's going to do, and at the end of.
Speaker 4: Our session, I'll share my insights.
Speaker 5: You can share your insights, and if you're a first
Speaker 5: time client, I do like to reach out the next
Speaker 5: day and just see how you slept, how you're feeling,
Speaker 5: were you emotional, and if there's other things that have
Speaker 5: come up, you know, I'll reach out and we'll make
Speaker 5: some time to continue to talk and work through what
Speaker 5: those emotions and or feelings could have could have come about.
Speaker 5: As your body is integrating now all of this new
Speaker 5: freely moving energy in your body.
Speaker 3: Now, it also can be practiced virtually.
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know whether you do that as well,
Speaker 8: but I mean obviously energy is everywhere, right, So yeah,
Speaker 8: people can receive or practice ranking from a distance too.
Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
Speaker 5: I do practice distance healing, believe it or not. I
Speaker 5: do more distance healing for animals than I do people.
Speaker 5: Most of my clients really like to come in and
Speaker 5: spend time with me and we talk about whatever it
Speaker 5: is that we're talking about. But in general, animals or
Speaker 5: people can have distance healing. It is just as effective
Speaker 5: as coming in to see me. But for animals it
Speaker 5: really helps them where I'm not you know, I'm a
Speaker 5: stranger and I'm entering their home. And if a cat
Speaker 5: or a dog, or your aquarium fish or your bird
Speaker 5: has already like anxious and stressed, well that's just going
Speaker 5: to help, not you know, that's going to make the
Speaker 5: experience not be a positive one for either me, mom
Speaker 5: and Dad or the animal. So oftentimes I do offer
Speaker 5: distance healing for the animals just so that they can
Speaker 5: get to know my energy in advance, and I often
Speaker 5: find that they prefer it that way and I'm able
Speaker 5: to get more insights to share with mom and dad.
Speaker 5: And then we typically do additional follow ups every three
Speaker 5: to four weeks, based on what the animal tells me
Speaker 5: it needs to help, whatever the situation might be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was going to ask you in relation
Speaker 6: to humans, like how often would you recommend somebody get raaking?
Speaker 5: So I'd say I myself go every four weeks. As
Speaker 5: a practitioner who's working in people's energy all the time,
Speaker 5: I also work full time job in addition to running
Speaker 5: Blue Monarch. I needed every four to six weeks. So
Speaker 5: my general role of thumb four to six weeks, depending
Speaker 5: on when you start to notice that you're not maybe
Speaker 5: feeling as great about things. That typically is that three
Speaker 5: three and a half mark week mark, and it's probably
Speaker 5: time and you should probably come at four weeks, but
Speaker 5: some people are good with six. If you're dealing with
Speaker 5: an issue, if we're going through like grief, or if
Speaker 5: you have a health condition, you know, we might change
Speaker 5: that to be to every two weeks. It just really depends.
Speaker 5: But a lot of the time I leave it to
Speaker 5: the client to determine that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean obviously every it's individualized, of course, so yes,
Speaker 8: you know, whatever people need with whatever their needs are,
Speaker 8: whatever they're going through, if there's a health issue, or
Speaker 8: like you said, if there's grief, or if there's you know,
Speaker 8: any kind of like more acute thing that.
Speaker 2: They're going through, than to come more for sure. So
Speaker 2: this is so fascinating. We're going to learn a lot more.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Doctor Diane Show, with me, Doctor
Speaker 3: Diane Hayden. We're gonna take a quick break. When we
Speaker 3: come back, we'll be talking more with Jocelyn Carp. Stay tuned,
Speaker 3: we'll be right back. We're back on the Doctor Diane
Speaker 3: Show with me, Doctor Diane Hayden. I am talking today
Speaker 3: with Jocelyn Karp, and her website is www dot Blue
Speaker 3: Monarch Healing dot com.
Speaker 9: That's spelled b l u e m l n a
Speaker 9: r c h h e a l i n g
Speaker 9: dot com. So we were talking about just all the different,
Speaker 9: you know, uh types of issues that reiki is great
Speaker 9: for that you see people for.
Speaker 6: I mean, it really runs the gamut of just about
Speaker 6: anything and everything that people you.
Speaker 2: Know, could get could get help with by using reiki.
Speaker 2: But what are some of like misconceptions that people have
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 6: Like what have you heard or what kind of myths
Speaker 6: or things like that have you had to work through
Speaker 6: with people about what they think it.
Speaker 2: Is or is it?
Speaker 5: Oh, there's always a few people that come in they're
Speaker 5: definitely curious, but I feel like they're MythBusters.
Speaker 4: So they come in like this doesn't really work, this
Speaker 4: is all you.
Speaker 5: And so they'll have like a chakra clearing or they'll
Speaker 5: want like a one hour session and they'll get off
Speaker 5: the table and they'll be like, so did it.
Speaker 4: Work, Like really, yeah, I don't know. You tell me,
Speaker 4: of course it worked.
Speaker 5: So people, you know, everybody nowadays is expecting something immediate, right,
Speaker 5: we have all this technology, everything is coming at our fingertips.
Speaker 5: We want it now, now, now. And I feel that
Speaker 5: this is the same kind of an example where you
Speaker 5: come in and you just immediately expect to be healed,
Speaker 5: or you immediately expect to have like something happened to you,
Speaker 5: like physical people need physical evidence, and reiki is sometimes subtle,
Speaker 5: you know sometimes, and I say this to a lot
Speaker 5: of people, no matter what you experience, and I'll share
Speaker 5: some of what people do experience in a second, But
Speaker 5: no matter what you experience in that moment, it is
Speaker 5: what you were meant to experience. And even if you
Speaker 5: didn't feel anything, it might be because in this moment
Speaker 5: your body wasn't quite ready. It might need a couple
Speaker 5: of days to kind of process and catch up before
Speaker 5: you might start to notice like subtle changes. So be
Speaker 5: patient and just give it some time.
Speaker 3: Well, also, people are so disconnected from their body.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's not surprising at all that people don't
Speaker 6: feel anything right in.
Speaker 10: This in our society, in this day and age, that
Speaker 10: kind of thing is everybody is living like from here
Speaker 10: up like we're here completely not in tune with what
Speaker 10: our body is telling us or what we're feeling or whatnot,
Speaker 10: which makes it even.
Speaker 8: Harder in this case for you to, I guess, just
Speaker 8: educate people about what it is, because, like you said,
Speaker 8: they're expecting, you.
Speaker 3: Know, they're expecting something immediate, and they're also expecting to
Speaker 3: feel something right away.
Speaker 4: Right, That's exactly it.
Speaker 5: And half the time most of the people that are
Speaker 5: running around here, and I've been at fault for this too,
Speaker 5: we ignore things, right that pain in the elbow that's
Speaker 5: been flaring here and there, and we're just, oh, it'll
Speaker 5: go away.
Speaker 4: I'll just take some Madville.
Speaker 5: Well it's just getting worse, and next thing you know,
Speaker 5: you're in PT for tennis elbow. People need to understand
Speaker 5: that the body is talking to us all the time.
Speaker 5: You just have to take a moment and create a
Speaker 5: space where you can listen to what it's telling you.
Speaker 5: I always also say that reiki is not a one
Speaker 5: and done, so when people come in for the first time.
Speaker 5: You know, if they didn't experience something or if they did,
Speaker 5: you know, I just remind them that this is this
Speaker 5: is a process, and you're not going to just magically
Speaker 5: be over whatever it is that is preventing you from
Speaker 5: stepping forward in one session.
Speaker 4: It could take like three sessions, it could take a year.
Speaker 5: But there's also some accountability that goes along with coming
Speaker 5: to reiki, right, you have to be working on making
Speaker 5: yourself be in a better place too. You can't just
Speaker 5: come in and expect that one reeki session is just
Speaker 5: going to like solve the problem. In terms of like
Speaker 5: what people actually experience, it is all over the board.
Speaker 5: A lot of my clients actually come and fall asleep
Speaker 5: because again, everyone is operating this wildlife and I create
Speaker 5: this space for them to feel totally safe, and a
Speaker 5: lot of them do come in and they take naps
Speaker 5: and then I just do the work.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, No, that's how relaxing it is. That's happened
Speaker 2: a couple of times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's the biggest compliment. And I don't judge
Speaker 5: with snoring in mouth noises, so just putting that out there,
Speaker 5: but people can see when their body relaxes. You can
Speaker 5: see colors you can see like the beautiful light show
Speaker 5: the Aurora borealis. You might start to hear messages about,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, giving you guidance like drink
Speaker 5: more water. Or you might feel your energy rise and fall.
Speaker 5: You might feel the energy coming through my hands. My
Speaker 5: hands sometimes get really hot heating pads. Other times you
Speaker 5: can feel the you know, the pulsation. Sometimes it could
Speaker 5: feel like your leg and your arm is like a
Speaker 5: thousand pounds and being weighed down. I mean, there's and
Speaker 5: then there's times when you don't feel anything at all,
Speaker 5: and in that moment you're just in this really peaceful,
Speaker 5: relaxing state.
Speaker 4: Your body knows what to do.
Speaker 5: You just have to be open and willing to allow
Speaker 5: yourself to take that moment and journey inward and just
Speaker 5: relax and listen to it. It's really a way and
Speaker 5: get out of the way, peel.
Speaker 4: It off, push it over there. So yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 5: I really love listening to everyone's different reactions to things.
Speaker 5: And you know, it's interesting talking about not always having
Speaker 5: a physical reaction. There are clients that I have who
Speaker 5: have been with me for two years or longer that
Speaker 5: I've been practicing and sometimes their sessions aren't very eventful.
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean it doesn't work. They got what they
Speaker 4: needed in that moment.
Speaker 5: And I'll get a text message a couple days later
Speaker 5: and I get I'm still feeling very clear in the mind,
Speaker 5: and I'm feeling less triggered and I'm feeling peaceful.
Speaker 2: This is exactly what I needed.
Speaker 5: So reiki, it's here's the thing, people, here's a great example.
Speaker 4: You believe you know, we have Wi Fi.
Speaker 5: Right, there's this well you can't see it, but we
Speaker 5: know it's working, right, but.
Speaker 2: We believe that, no problem.
Speaker 3: It's amazing what we believe that we can't see.
Speaker 2: And then we don't believe all.
Speaker 5: Things because we can't see them exactly. Well, Reiki's kind
Speaker 5: of the same thing. Just because you can't see it
Speaker 5: doesn't mean it's not working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 6: You had you had mentioned some things that experiences that
Speaker 6: you had with certain clients, I mean anonymously obviously was
Speaker 6: something you want to talk about.
Speaker 5: Or no, if you had specific questions. But every every
Speaker 5: client experience is confidential. I if I share anything on
Speaker 5: social media, it's really just the client's feedback as to
Speaker 5: how they felt after a session or how they feel
Speaker 5: that the session has moved them forward. But everything that
Speaker 5: happens in my reiki room stays in my reiki room,
Speaker 5: a little bit like Vegas. But I do get insights
Speaker 5: in the session that I do share with my clients,
Speaker 5: and I keep a wonderful notebook system and note system
Speaker 5: on my computer so that anytime we can circle back
Speaker 5: and just look at patterns and trends over time.
Speaker 4: I kind of I'm a.
Speaker 5: Scientific person, and I like to see patterns and trends,
Speaker 5: and I also like to see healing arcs, and I
Speaker 5: like to see, you know, where where we started and
Speaker 5: where we are. So that has been really helpful for
Speaker 5: some of my long term clients, just to be able
Speaker 5: to do like a full year view and see where
Speaker 5: we were at the start of the year versus six months,
Speaker 5: versus where we are now. And it's really helpful for
Speaker 5: that individual to be able to see the mark change
Speaker 5: and growth and also you know, figure out like where
Speaker 5: they want to go from that point on. It It's
Speaker 5: just such a beautiful thing to watch a person go
Speaker 5: through such significant change and then be able to have
Speaker 5: it documented and be able to show them, like, look
Speaker 5: at all this great work you've done.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wow.
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've ever spoken to someone who, like.
Speaker 6: A repee master that has that kind of philosophical outlook
Speaker 6: on it, like the very scientific documentation.
Speaker 2: All of that that you do. That's that's amazing.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure. What do you every client walks
Speaker 3: away from? Like what every client walks away feeling after
Speaker 3: a session?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Well, I definitely want them to feel lighter. I want
Speaker 5: them to feel like their body has definitely released and
Speaker 5: they had the opportunity to exhale.
Speaker 4: You know, my goal is.
Speaker 5: Again over time and you know, with them taking also
Speaker 5: accountability into their journey, that they will start to feel
Speaker 5: happier longer. They will be more joyful, they will be
Speaker 5: less triggered by conversations experiences, and they'll be able to
Speaker 5: have different approaches and strategies in place to help them
Speaker 5: be more successful in navigating life and just the everyday
Speaker 5: stuff that we are all confronted with, whether it be
Speaker 5: t and erratic drivers. Because the driving lately seems to
Speaker 5: be a bit more wild than it has lately in
Speaker 5: the previous couple of months. I don't know if that's uh,
Speaker 5: the energy that we have in the air right now
Speaker 5: contributing to that, but or you know, just conversations with
Speaker 5: colleagues and you know how they choose to you know,
Speaker 5: live authentically in their in their day to day life.
Speaker 5: The whole goal is to be joyful and happy, feel
Speaker 5: at peace, feel calm, feel like you know, and they
Speaker 5: also feel supported and that they have a place to
Speaker 5: go me my healing room, that they know that they
Speaker 5: can come any time and that they they can take
Speaker 5: that nap, they can feel like they're being heard. You know,
Speaker 5: I give great hugs, So if you need a hug,
Speaker 5: I'm a hugger and I always have endless amounts of
Speaker 5: hugs in they're free.
Speaker 4: So if that's what you need in.
Speaker 5: That moment, you know, I let my clients know that
Speaker 5: I'm available for that too. So a little bit of
Speaker 5: everything with that with that question, Diane.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I mean, I mean obviously you you come
Speaker 11: across as just you know, like this was what you
Speaker 11: were meant to do, and you know, so you know,
Speaker 11: genuine and sincere and caring about everything that you do
Speaker 11: for your clients.
Speaker 2: I can imagine like when they walk into your space.
Speaker 3: It's just like immediate relaxation, and you know, they get
Speaker 3: this amazing healing energy and then they leave with a hug.
Speaker 5: Always I do, I really, I really try to create
Speaker 5: that space. You know, my there's a lot of people
Speaker 5: offering reiki, and I try to curate an experience for
Speaker 5: every single person, and it's not one size fits all.
Speaker 3: So and I think that's so, that's that's super important.
Speaker 3: I want to touch on that. We're gonna go to
Speaker 3: a quick break, but when we come back, I want
Speaker 3: to you just hit on something that I've been talking
Speaker 3: about a lot later, giving experience. So we're gonna take
Speaker 3: a quick break. When we come back, we'll be talking
Speaker 3: more with jocelyncart. We're back on the Doctor Diane Show
Speaker 3: with me, Doctor Diane Hayden.
Speaker 6: You can learn more about me at www dot doctor
Speaker 6: Dianeheyden dot com.
Speaker 3: And my guest today is Joscelyncarp and her website is
Speaker 3: www dot Blue Monarch Healing dot com.
Speaker 2: That's spelled b l u E m O n A
Speaker 2: r c h h e A l i n g
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 3: So before we left, you said the magic word that
Speaker 3: I've been talking to all my holistic practitioners about lately, and.
Speaker 2: That is experience. It's what what is the experience you
Speaker 2: give to your clients when they walk through the door,
Speaker 2: when they have a session with.
Speaker 3: You, you know, when they leave in between, that kind
Speaker 3: of thing, and I love you know how you explain
Speaker 3: that and how you're different, because I feel like it's
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of practitioners around that people
Speaker 3: can choose from, and so why are they going to
Speaker 3: choose you?
Speaker 2: You know, one of those little things that you do
Speaker 2: that make someone connect with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well so I you know, when I was trying
Speaker 5: to think about Blue Monarch Healing and the feeling that
Speaker 5: I wanted my business name to evoke, or what my
Speaker 5: brand was like, and thinking about how I articulate on
Speaker 5: even social media or on my website, like what does
Speaker 5: make me different? And I would say that I really
Speaker 5: spend a lot of time actively listening to people, and
Speaker 5: I really try to curate an experience for every single person.
Speaker 5: And that is true of my existing customers that you know,
Speaker 5: continue to come and see me month after month. I
Speaker 5: believe healing is not one size fits all. What works
Speaker 5: for me is not going to work for you. And
Speaker 5: it's important to me to be able to have as
Speaker 5: many tools and my toolkit to be able to offer
Speaker 5: in a session. So what does that mean, Diane? So,
Speaker 5: I began my journey learning traditional Japanese reiki yusu is
Speaker 5: shiki roiho right about a couple months after becoming an LLC.
Speaker 5: I had heard about Holy Fire Karuna and World Peace reiki,
Speaker 5: and I found a teacher who was offering that local
Speaker 5: in my community, and I just knew that that was
Speaker 5: going to be something that I needed to learn to
Speaker 5: be able to have another tool in my toolkit to
Speaker 5: be able to offer my clients and the same. It
Speaker 5: goes with some of the other lineages that I've learned
Speaker 5: earned by having so many. Well, because I practice yusuey,
Speaker 5: Holy Fire, the karun of the World Peace, I'm an
Speaker 5: aroma reiki practitioner, I'm a like I'm a litarian practitioner
Speaker 5: as well. I can rely on different uh I'm going
Speaker 5: to call them UH healing frequencies and different healing symbols,
Speaker 5: and I use them in very specific ways depending on
Speaker 5: what my client is trying to achieve. You know, So,
Speaker 5: again customizing the experience, we're looking at, what is your
Speaker 5: intention for the practice? What are you hoping to get
Speaker 5: out of the session today? What do you, what do
Speaker 5: you what are we looking to to do long term?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: And then based on where they are in their in
Speaker 5: their headspace and kind of how they're feeling physically, I'm
Speaker 5: already got the wheels turning, and we go into your
Speaker 5: session and I'm already feeling out your energy and your
Speaker 5: body is already you know, telling me different things. I
Speaker 5: might incorporate plants because I love plant reiki, and I
Speaker 5: utilize the healing frequencies of plants by placing, like, for example,
Speaker 5: an airplant on the body to help circulate the air
Speaker 5: in that particular area. I might use oils on the
Speaker 5: body in specific places because oils are.
Speaker 4: You know, Nature's medicine.
Speaker 5: They're very potent, and in twenty two seconds as they
Speaker 5: absorb into the skin, they're already helping cells and tissues
Speaker 5: push out any toxins that are in the cells. So
Speaker 5: that is helping you by also you know, preparing the
Speaker 5: body to get ready for reiki.
Speaker 4: You know, if you're.
Speaker 5: Looking for healing a relationship, perhaps you know there's just
Speaker 5: a personal dilemma that's happening in your life and you're
Speaker 5: having a hard time really kind of bringing yourself in
Speaker 5: this person or event into to a good space of healing.
Speaker 5: We can send Reki to that and I will utilize
Speaker 5: karuna symbols that align to healing deep deeply in relationships
Speaker 5: in that moment and sending that person involved, you know,
Speaker 5: love and healing. And so basically I offer quite a
Speaker 5: bit in terms of what we can do in a session,
Speaker 5: and it really all comes back to curating this experience
Speaker 5: that meet too where you are. But I have a
Speaker 5: lot of different tools to bring in to support whatever
Speaker 5: it is that you're looking to heal.
Speaker 2: Yes, so I'm glad you brought up all the individual modalities.
Speaker 3: Because that was a question I had, like how would
Speaker 3: someone know or they don't need to know essentially, Yeah,
Speaker 3: which what I'm coming to you for.
Speaker 6: You're going to make that decision based on your intuitive
Speaker 6: evaluation of the body and what the person is telling
Speaker 6: you and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, So it's twofold.
Speaker 5: It's me with my background and my education understanding how
Speaker 5: the different healing frequencies work, understanding how the body works
Speaker 5: and how emotions and feelings work. But also your body
Speaker 5: knows what it needs and it can without even telling me,
Speaker 5: but it often does. It's pulling the energy, it pulls
Speaker 5: what it needs all on its own. So you're getting
Speaker 5: what you need in that moment one hundred percent every time.
Speaker 4: Awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's great. So if someone has been curious
Speaker 2: about reiki but hasn't taken the first step, what would
Speaker 2: you say to them?
Speaker 5: Lean into curiosity, be curious, come in, drop all your expectations.
Speaker 5: You know, your first time with reiki, your intention could
Speaker 5: simply be just to experience relaxation and maybe you come
Speaker 5: in and take a nap. And if that's what it is,
Speaker 5: that's perfect.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 5: You don't have to come into reiki and like, we
Speaker 5: don't need to boil the ocean in your first session, right, Like,
Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be difficult. Reiki is not hard.
Speaker 5: It meets you where you are. You get what you need,
Speaker 5: it's you get it in the right amount. The whole
Speaker 5: goal is that you're giving yourself love. You're showing yourself
Speaker 5: a break. You're giving You're creating the space to create
Speaker 5: quiet so that you can reconnect. You can become grounded.
Speaker 5: You can again reconnect to your inner wisdom, your your
Speaker 5: clarity is opening. You're being able to trust the the
Speaker 5: nudgees that you feel.
Speaker 4: In your belly.
Speaker 5: And you're just letting go of the noise and the
Speaker 5: chatter and giving your brain a break. A brain break
Speaker 5: is so incredible to have these days, because again, we
Speaker 5: are being constantly bombarded with so much all the time.
Speaker 5: The rate at which we process, I'm pretty sure is
Speaker 5: not the intention. It's not really the intention, but we're
Speaker 5: not We're not meant to process right.
Speaker 4: And so consistently for so long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, technology is amazing, but at the same.
Speaker 6: Time, if you don't manage it effectively, it's detrimental too,
Speaker 6: just because we're energetic beings, like we're not meant to
Speaker 6: be on these devices all the time in front of
Speaker 6: screens and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: And I've done raking many times, and I have to say,
Speaker 3: you know, it's got it to me. It's got to
Speaker 3: be the easiest modality.
Speaker 2: To try if you want to try something and you're curious.
Speaker 3: Because you literally don't have to do anything, like it's
Speaker 3: not like you don't have to do anything with acupuncture either,
Speaker 3: but you know, with that, some people have a little
Speaker 3: bit of fear about the needle or whatever. Or sometimes massage,
Speaker 3: as relaxing as it can be, could be a little
Speaker 3: paper because we're trying to work stuff out of the body,
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. But energy work is just so
Speaker 3: peaceful and beautiful and easy and literally, like you know, just.
Speaker 4: Reki is good for everybody. I just I'm like the PSA.
Speaker 5: If I could like just say it and had, you know,
Speaker 5: everyone's ear for like a few minutes, I'd be like,
Speaker 5: do reiki, do reiki, do reki.
Speaker 4: Try reiki. It's so good for you. You feel better,
Speaker 4: You're just gonna sleep better, You're gonna feel happier. Like,
Speaker 4: try reiki, be curious. You have nothing to lose, only
Speaker 4: good things.
Speaker 3: That is exactly it. And nowadays and everybody is so
Speaker 3: stressed out and nervous system just regulation and people aren't
Speaker 3: sleeping well and all of that.
Speaker 2: I mean, just that hour or so on.
Speaker 8: The table with you is amazing for you know, what
Speaker 8: it can do in that short amount of time, especially
Speaker 8: if you're anxious, or you're not sleeping well, or you
Speaker 8: have a lot of more stress than what.
Speaker 2: We normally have, like that kind of thing.
Speaker 6: It's just really it's just really an amazing modality that
Speaker 6: everybody should be doing it all the time.
Speaker 2: Honestly, that's right.
Speaker 3: Second your PSA, Yeah, Yeah. Well, it's been so awesome
Speaker 3: to get to know you and learn more about it
Speaker 3: and you know, educate people about this beautiful healing modality.
Speaker 3: And I love what you do and I'm so glad
Speaker 3: that you, like, you know, you heard the message and
Speaker 3: you went for it.
Speaker 5: I was called and I absolutely love being in service.
Speaker 5: This is definitely my path and I look forward to
Speaker 5: continuing to do this until untill I can't stand, or
Speaker 5: maybe I'm just wheeling around a little massage table.
Speaker 4: Till giving reiki when I'm like eighty five, But that'll
Speaker 4: be awesome. Yeah, this is this.
Speaker 5: It's it's great to know finally what my purpose is
Speaker 5: because for a long time I was very unsure. And
Speaker 5: I just couldn't be more grateful for how this all
Speaker 5: has transpired again, Healing, roller Coaster, Disney speed Pass.
