hello again!
Kartika is my Indonesian name... and means "The one who brings the light."
I'm German-Indonesian... to explain the Asian look with the German accent.
Born and raised in Munich, Germany, in the seventies.
German precision is ingrained in me... working for the German government for 9 years trained me well. I even wrote speeches for the Consul General and had my picture on the Times Square NASDAQ building.
Before Reiki I didn't know how to deal with stress and anxiety: I suffered from a chronically inflamed esophagus and grinded my teeth to the point of breaking.
My brother is one of my favorite people in the whole world.
I check energy forecasts like others check the weather...
.... I even post about this sometimes on social media... follow me on FB & IG...
ASKING FOR HELP is one of the best lessons I learned.
In my 20s I used to interview celebrities when I wrote for a German newspaper. Bruce Willis was intimidating. Vin Diesel wanted to take me to lunch.
I overcame my driving anxiety in my late 30s.
As a kid I was terrified of dogs. Recently I helped a therapist write a book on Overcoming the Fear of Dogs
My first encounter with Reiki was not positive... I thought it was woo-woo
Thank Goodness for my teacher Frans Stiene (with me in the picture) who helps me understand, practice and teach Reiki as close to its Japanese roots as possible.
Also a big THANK YOU to Priya Tuli, who in Jakarta, Indonesia, was the first Reiki practitioner to show me that Reiki REALLY WORKS!
It took several sessions, but once my body could recover from all the tension and pain, my mind became clearer, and I realized that for most of my life I had been working against myself, instead of with myself.
Today: Reiki keeps me SANE!
