5 Minutes of Peace

In this episode, Kelly Jean explores the sacred rhythm of Reiki Drumming — a practice that unites sound, vibration, and universal life force energy to restore balance and peace within.Across cultures and centuries, drumming has been used in ceremonies, meditation, and healing rituals. Its steady rhythm mirrors the heartbeat — the pulse of life — grounding us in the present moment. When combined with Reiki, this timeless rhythm transforms into a channel for divine healing and renewal.Kelly explains how Reiki Drumming entrains the brain into calm, meditative states, clears stagnant energy, and fills the space with light and harmony. Each beat becomes a prayer — a vibration of intention that bridges the physical and spiritual worlds.At The Peace Room, Reiki Drumming is woven into workshops, Reiki Spa Days, and individual sessions, offering clients a deeply grounding and heart-centered experience. Whether through gentle meditative rhythms or powerful emotional releases, Reiki Drumming reminds us that we can always return to center — to the still point within.Listeners are invited to imagine the heartbeat of the drum resonating in their chest and breathe — releasing what no longer serves them with each exhale, returning to balance with every beat.Key ThemesThe universal rhythm of healing through soundThe union of Reiki energy and drumming vibrationGrounding, balance, and release through rhythmCreating sacred space and intention through soundFinding peace in the steady pulse of the momentLearn more about upcoming experiences at www.thepeaceroom.loveJoin us again whenever you need 5 Minutes of Peace.

In this deeply moving episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome author and leadership coach Ian Ziskin, whose new book Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies explores how loss and love can shape the way we lead, connect, and grow.Through a blend of personal reflection, neuroscience, and leadership insights, Ian invites listeners to consider how grief and transformation are often intertwined—and how moments of loss can awaken compassion and resilience in ourselves and others.This episode features Ian’s original song, “Here and Gone,” written as a companion to the book. The song captures the tender balance of remembrance and renewal—how love and time may fade, yet still leave behind profound lessons that never disappear.Through his writing and music, Ian reminds us that the heart of leadership is deeply human.Listen & ReflectThis episode encourages a quiet moment to honor those who’ve shaped us—and to recognize that through loss, we often rediscover our strength, empathy, and peace.5 MINUTES OF PEACE is created by The Peace Room, Boise.Learn more about our Reiki treatments, energy healing workshops, and spiritual programs at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

The practice emphasizes loving awareness, self-acceptance, and the gentle reminder that energy work is not about control—it’s about flow and allowing yourself to return to ease.By the end of the meditation, listeners are encouraged to express gratitude for their bodies and the life force that carries them each day, reaffirming that managing energy for good health begins with compassion for oneself.Key ThemesReiki and ASMR for holistic restorationReleasing energetic blockages through visualizationMind-body harmony through breath and awarenessFlow, not control, as the essence of energy balanceGratitude as the foundation of health and peaceListen & ReflectAllow this 5-minute meditation to guide you back to your center.

In this guided meditation episode of Five Minutes of Peace, we welcome back life coach David Lawson to lead listeners through a transformative visualization to help release limiting beliefs and consciously create the future they want.David begins with grounding breathwork—inviting you to sit comfortably, breathe deeply, and feel energy rise from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head. As you settle into stillness, he guides you to imagine a peaceful place in nature — a beach, a forest, or a meadow — where your mind and body can relax into calm awareness.He then explains how the power of conscious thought can rewire your brain. By recognizing and releasing unwanted emotions or stories that no longer serve you, you can shift from anxiety and self-doubt toward freedom and empowerment. Through this process, David teaches that awareness gives you choice — the ability to stop old patterns, cancel them, and consciously create new beliefs aligned with your higher self.Listeners are invited to:Identify and release emotions that keep them stuck.Surrender old energy to the universe for transformation.Visualize their new self — free, peaceful, and empowered.Trust in the universe’s support to sustain that change.The meditation closes with gentle reminders to breathe, relax, and re-enter your day with renewed energy and awareness.David Lawson is a transformational life coach and founder of Awake Warrior, based in Toronto, Ontario. His work focuses on conscious living, emotional release, and empowering individuals to awaken their highest potential through mindfulness and personal development.Learn more about David’s work at www.awakewarrior.com.Five Minutes of Peace is produced by The Peace Room in Boise, Idaho — a space dedicated to Reiki, energy healing, and conscious living.Learn more or book a session at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we explore one of the most common questions Reiki practitioners and students ask: How is Holy Fire® Reiki different from traditional Usui Reiki?Both are forms of Reiki — a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing — but they represent different expressions of the same universal life force energy. This short reflection explains the distinctions while honoring both traditions as equally valuable and transformative.Key Insights:Symbols and Consciousness: Traditional Usui Reiki uses three Level II symbols and one Master symbol to focus healing energy. Holy Fire® Reiki introduces additional symbols unique to its system, designed to activate higher levels of consciousness.Attunements and Placements: Traditional Usui Reiki involves attunements passed through the teacher. Holy Fire® Reiki replaces these with placements and ignitions—direct transmissions from Source energy itself—creating a deeply personal and direct connection with Reiki.Vibrational Evolution: As human consciousness evolves toward a more heart-centered vibration, Holy Fire® Reiki represents this shift. It channels a higher frequency of healing energy aligned with the expanding awareness of unity and compassion.Ever-Evolving Reiki: Usui taught that Reiki is ever-developing, a living energy that grows as we do. Holy Fire® Reiki embodies this principle, inviting us to continue raising our vibration and bringing more light into our healing practice and the world.This episode reminds us that Reiki, whether traditional Usui or Holy Fire®, is a path of evolution, connection, and love. Each system offers its own doorway into higher awareness and deeper peace.The 5 Minutes of Peace podcast is created by The Peace Room in Boise, Idaho.Learn more about Reiki classes, sessions, and events at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

In this episode, meditation teacher and retreat leader Tania Ho shares a reading from her favorite book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Focusing on the chapter about anger, Tania invites us to reconsider this often misunderstood emotion.Instead of being stuffed down or ignored, anger is meant to be listened to. It is a voice, a map, and a loyal companion pointing us toward action, boundaries, and growth. Tania reflects on how anger signals the death of old patterns and the birth of new possibilities. When honored, anger becomes a tool that fuels creativity, helps us treat our ideas with respect, and reminds us to act in our own best interest.She closes with a reminder that creative recovery is not linear—growth happens in cycles, with steps forward and pauses for rest. By treating ourselves with gentleness and compassion, we create the conditions for meaningful change.This episode offers a powerful reframe: anger is not the enemy, but a guide toward living more authentically and courageously.To learn more about Tania’s work and upcoming retreats, visit: www.museflowerretreat.comThe 5 Minutes of Peace podcast is created by The Peace Room, Boise.

In this episode, author and storyteller Will Cady shares a reading from his book Which Way Is North: A Creative Compass for Makers, Marketers, and Mystics.Through the myth and legacy of bluesman Robert Johnson, Will reflects on the profound choices we make with our creative gifts. Johnson’s hands carried him from the fields of Mississippi to a San Antonio hotel room where he recorded 29 songs that became the foundation of rock and roll. His story—woven with myth, music, and mystery—raises timeless questions about inspiration, sacrifice, and what it means to leave a mark on culture.Will explores how Johnson’s influence echoes through generations of musicians, from Muddy Waters to Led Zeppelin, from Bob Dylan to Amy Winehouse, reminding us of the delicate dance between creativity, commerce, and the soul.This reading, “Robert Johnson’s Hands,” invites us to consider what we give, what we create, and how our choices ripple far beyond our own lives.To learn more about Will Cady and his work, visit willcady.com.The 5 Minutes of Peace podcast is created by The Peace Room, Boise.
