What is Defensiveness? Defensiveness often starts as protection. It is easy to judge from the outside.

At its best, Reiki is a supportive practice that helps people

Most people notice one thing at a time. A tight jaw. A racing thought. A partner’s tone. A desire to interrupt. But daily life rarely arrives in single-file order. A more subtle skill is learning to notice several layers of experience at once. For example, you might sense your breath, feel your feet on the floor, hear someone’s words, and notice the urge to defend yourself, all in the same moment. That may sound simple. It is not always easy. This kind of attention can be esp
