Energy Healing & Past Lives with Britt Yap

Today’s show is a guest that I can't wait for you to meet! You’ll notice I don't take many guests on this show other than the coaching calls with you, and that's because I really make sure to bring you the best of the best. I'm excited to introduce you to Britt Yap, my reiki mentor. I explain in the show what reiki is but before we dive in I want to read you a little bit about it:

“Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically; on the whole body, mind and spirit. Not a system of religious beliefs, Reiki is simply a relaxing treatment whereas natural healing vibrations are transmitted through the hands of a Reiki practitioner (acting as a conduit) to the body of the recipient. The purpose of a Reiki treatment is to relieve stress and pain, induce relaxation, release emotional blockages, accelerate natural healing, balance subtle bodies energies and support other medical modalities including traditional therapies.”

My own coaching philosophy is to integrate the mind, body and spirit ( i call it heart) as well so getting my Reiki certification and bringing it into my programs was a really exciting change I made this year. I had a couple interactions with Reiki before (at the retreat I went to last September where I swear I was forever changed) I sought out Britt to help me release emotional tension I had still been holding onto about my parents, at that point I had been going to therapy for 1.5 years, done so much work but still holding onto resentment. 

We start by diving into Britt’s story and how she got started with Reiki. She shares with us that she has always been open to visualizations and working with the mind because she grew up in the Hawaiian culture. She was diagnosed with Ulcer Colitis at the age of 20 and in 2012, she reached the down point of her Ulcer Colitis. This was the biggest moment in her life- the doctor told her that they needed to remove her colon and that there wasn’t any other way to heal her colon. She was able to get her levels down and it was the thing that turned her life around.

Britt talks to us about how she goes about healing others and healing herself. She works with the person to heal their energy and figure out which chakra needs to be healed. I ask her about how she goes about figuring out where to start with their healing. She tells us that she starts with their physical ailments and that will dictate where the healing begins.

Britt discusses with us the damage that trauma can do when trapped in our bodies. It will stay trapped unless we work to expel it from our bodies. She waits for the patient to tell her about the trauma so it can be released. It can be trauma from abuse- physical or emotional, and familial trauma. Energy is tangible and can be felt throughout.

I asked Britt what someone who may not have access to a Reiki master could do to start healing their own energy. She said being with nature can be so powerful. Just going to a park and standing in the grass without your shoes. The point is to be in a space that’s happy.

We talk about so much! She gives us some great insight- many people get their Reiki certification to heal themselves or love ones. People can use it within their business (like me!). Britt gives us a few tips to keep ourselves from absorbing other people’s energy- using salt to clear our energy, dry scrub bath, grounding ourselves outside, etc.

Then we get into the good stuff! I asked her to talk with us about past life regression. She says when we’re born, we have memories of our past lives and we start to lose them around 5 or 6 because adults justify things within ourselves. She explains to us how she helps others see their past lives (through hypnosis)- you get to experience it instead of her just telling you what happened. When you experience it yourself, it becomes your truth. It’s like watching the best movie ever. I even share with the audience my own experience- but you have to tune in to hear about that!

The final piece we dive into is healing our trauma. We believe healing our trauma and working on our own healing and pain can benefit our future generations. This is such a core element to being your highest self. We can use this to build compassion for those around us. 

You have the power to heal yourself. 

Keep healing, helping others, and putting good energy into this world because we all need that right now.
