This article is based on Beyond the Reiki Gateway’s podcast “Spiritual People – Myths and Misinformation Debunked!” created by Reiki Masters Kathleen Johnson and Andrea Kennedy.
Kathleen Johnson:
Hello everyone! Kathleen Johnson here today. This is the second full length episode of our new podcast Beyond the Reiki Gateway. Andrea and I are very glad to have you here with us again.
It’s funny, but when Andrea and I were talking about what our next episode would be, we had no idea at that time of the events that would unfold during that time.
As we sit here today with our new episode, a lot of conversation has gone before between the two of us. We wanted to share that with you. And just as an acknowledgement of the tragic, horrific events that have unfolded in our country over the past week and a half.
In fact, we had considered discussing that in this episode, discussing those events, possible repercussions for the future and even beginning to delve into the spiritual significance of those events.

We just wanted to let you know how we feel about it and why we’re not discussing this in more detail now.
However, there is a bright side to all this, and that is when we were discussing all this, we decided that a great topic for today, because we were feeling such anger and such sorrow and fear around all of this, would be to talk with you today about some of the myths and misconceptions about spirituality, spiritual seekers and healers, people who practice Reiki like myself and Andrea, because there are a lot of myths out there and misconceptions.
The first major misconception: spiritual people and healers never get angry
One of those, we’re going to be getting into it in a moment, Andrea and I, but one of those major myths is that if you’re a spiritual person or if you’re a healer or a seeker, you never get angry, you’re always just so calm and serene. That is the biggest myth of all. So, that’s what we’re going to be talking about today. The myths and misconceptions surrounding…
