On this episode, I interview Joli Knott, a holistic astrologer, Reiki Master Teacher, and the founder of Bodhi Mindful.

Using a variety of techniques, including energy work that incorporates nervous system health as well as education, Joli seeks to provide a nurturing space to those seeking further self-development and self-understanding.

Learning to connect the body to the mind, and the physical to the mental and emotional planes, played an important part in Joli's path to becoming a holistic therapist.  Understanding that signals and synchronicities occur regularly on the different planes, and that these can help guide the individual when working with these signals intentionally, make up the core of Joli's work.  Doing so allows a kind of transcendence, an awareness, of when one needs to 're-pot' one's life and upgrade to a bigger container.

Show notes: Take-Aways

• Through Reiki, Joli holds a compassionate, nurturing, safe space energetically for her clients, to allow them co-regulate themselves, and unfold
  
  


• Studies show that Reiki can help one strengthen their internal locus of control, which can help soothe someone who struggles with anxiety and panic attacks.
  
  


• Working with a Reiki practitioner may allow you to release and heal anxiety
  
  


• Trauma is not an event, it is the leftover emotions.  It is best to use a guide to unwind the trauma with the support of someone you trust.
  
  


• Listening and tuning into what you need and what feels right are important when choosing a guide and modality. Everyone is unique, and there are many different modalities and tools we can use to heal and grow.
  
  


• Our authentic self is where we tie in the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional plane together.  Keeping all 4 areas of our authentic self in mind, without leaving one out is an important part to your growth journey.  Listen to your body, and address your trauma from multiple angles.
  
  


• We are all healers, and we have the ability to guide others along the paths that we have already been down.
  
  


• A natal chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact time when you were born and can be used to guide you on your path in life.  An astrologer can help you interpret your natal chart and apply it to your life.
  
  


• Holding space for all of the ranges of emotions, and the seasons of our life is important.  Trying to achieve a Facebook or Instagram worthy life and conforming to social conditioning is a lead contributor to burnout.
  
  


• Tribal consciousness helps guide you when you are young, but there comes a time when you need to individuate, find your own path, and follow it while keeping one foot in the world.
  
  


• It is empowering to become aware of your personal seasons and cycles and honor them.  We can not always be happy, but we can find joy during seasons of sadness.
