    Description

    This is an interview about Reiki and its connection with overall well-being with a Reiki Master holding five years of experience (Black; Female; Peru). She was interviewed on May 27, 2025. The participant agreed to the terms outlined in the verbal informed consent form before this interview. Some of the broad conversations during this interview were about her family members' experience with Black Magic; her own experiences staying with her grandmother when she was younger; her daily self-Reiki practice as a meditation and with everyday items like food and travels; the problematic use of the word Master with Reiki; and accounts of her lived experiences as a Black woman existing in predominantly white spaces.
