What happens when you stop following the rulebook and start trusting yourself?
In this conversation, Tal shares his journey from addictionand disconnection to becoming a Reiki teacher who challenges what mainstream Reiki teaches about "doing it right."
Moving from the UK back to the Italian Alps, Tal brings arefreshingly honest perspective on energy work that's been largely absent from the spiritual industry IMO: the radical idea that your authentic expression matters more than perfect technique, that everything always works when you'realigned with your truth, and that the rigid structures we've inherited are often just mirrors of the control we experienced growing up.
We explore the creative life force that addiction wasactually seeking, how lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences reveal our true power, why "protection" is ultimately an internal state, and the revolutionary act of integrating your spiritual practice into the magicallymundane moments of everyday life.
This is for anyone who's felt constrained by spiritualdogma, who suspects there's more freedom available in their practice than they've been taught, and who's ready to trust themselves over external authority.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE
-How the creative force we can seek through addiction,distraction, or numbing is actually a soulcalling back to authentic expression - and the specific moment Tal realised this about his own 10-year struggle with addiction, and how music became the bridge to reclaiming his freedom
-Why "doing Reiki right" is actually the thingthat keeps it from working - including the counterintuitive truth that everything works when you're aligned with your authentic power, and how Tal's "freestyle" teacher freed him from decades of seeking the "perfect technique"
-The hidden connection between rigid spiritual structuresand the control patterns we learned growing up - and how recognising this pattern is the first step toward reclaiming your sovereignty in your practice and your life
-How to access lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences,and premonitions as reliable guidance - not as supernaturalsuperpowers, but as natural human capacities we've been taught to suppress, including what Tal discovered about safety, fear, and the untouchable essence of who you really are
-The difference between "higher vibration"hierarchy and authentic integration - why the spiritual industry's obsession with levels and advancement keeps practitioners small, and what it actually means to live a "magically mundane existence" where your practice isn't separate from your life, it's woven through it
