Episode #99 Faye Johnstone's Healing Journey: From Garden Shamanism to Reiki Mastery – Embracing Elemental Qigong, Plant Medicine, and Self-Acceptance

What if you could connect with nature on a deeper level than you ever imagined? This episode of Ready Set Reiki promises to open up a world of possibilities as we welcome Faye Johnstone, a seasoned Reiki practitioner with more than two decades of experience. Faye brings a fascinating blend of elemental qigong, plant medicine, and creative shamanism to her practice, all cultivated from her enchanting garden in Scotland. Together, we explore how Reiki found Faye and guided her to a life intertwined with the natural world, leading her to write three insightful books and offer transformative retreats and training.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing as Faye shares how to build genuine, soulful connections with plants by feeling rather than thinking. She talks about the parallels between nurturing bonds with nature and practicing Reiki, each requiring patience and consistent effort. Personal stories of overcoming self-doubt and the fear of being seen offer a profound look at the power of self-acceptance and stepping into one's true potential. We also discuss the incredible role of technology in making distance healing and global connections more accessible, underlining the importance of creativity, discernment, and integrity in the evolving world of Reiki.


We're honored to highlight Faye's diverse services, including her one-on-one retreats in Scotland and her new Substack community, Soul Awakenings. Her holistic approach integrates Reiki, shamanic techniques, and plant spirits to promote wholeness and harmony. The conversation is rich with mystical experiences, touching on the magic of synchronicity and the importance of self-trust. Join us for an enriching episode that celebrates Faye's unique journey and offers invaluable insights for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to the world of Reiki.
