Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of Cani Crystals the podcast. My name is Mart Tweedy, I'm your host, and today I am joined by another special guest. She's an award-winning Reiki master. She is a wellness coach and founder of the 111 Approach. She has a background in science and nearly a decade in the medical industry. She blends science with powerful energy healing, and she works with high-profile clients to help them transform their lives. And her work in Reiki and quantum healing and 5D energy has actually gained global recognition. So we're going to crack into all things energy healing, manifestation, and shifting into higher consciousness. Please welcome to the podcast Lakmi Bambra. How are you doing, Lakmi?

Hello, Mart. I am doing really well. So much better to seeing you today actually as well. So how are you?

Oh, thank you. I'm very good, thank you. Now, just to obviously put this into perspective, Lakmi introduced herself into my life just a few weeks ago. As you know, I wasn't very well I had all these symptoms of like a flu and a cold. I had a massive meeting in London that I couldn't get out of on the Saturday, and I had my little boy's first birthday on the Sunday. And Lakmi reached out and said, you know what, I've sent Francesca Amber some Reiki in the past. It really helped her, really helped her girls. I'm going to do the same for you. And I was like, okay, how much do you want? Just do it, just do it. And she was like, no, no, I'm going to do you this for free. And so Lakmi sent me this amazing energy that I could literally feel. It was tingling around my throat, it was tingling in my cheeks, and she told me exactly what was going on in my body. And I could literally feel that energy as you sent it. So firstly, thank you for that, because you know what, like, the symptoms did come back on the Monday and the Tuesday, but for that weekend that I needed it most to just be normal and to feel normal it was almost like you healed me. How did that happen? What was that about?

Um, okay, so I, I'll be honest, I didn't heal you. So just putting out there, I guided you and channeled high vibrational energies to help you heal yourself. So it's funny because I'm known— like, my little kind of tagline is I'm the one-minute healer. I've been known as the one-minute healer now because I do, um, one-minute wellness, but it's combined with the intuitive Reiki therapy that I do, and that's a blend of I think 7 different styles of Reiki. So most people have finally heard the term Reiki now. Like 10, 11 years ago when I was talking about it, people would look at me like, what are you, are you talking a different language? But now they understand Reiki. Um, most people know Usui Reiki, which is the common sort of standard one, but I actually do Angelic Reiki, Quantum Reiki, Usui Reiki, um, intuitive psychic healing, and lots of different other modalities as well. So what I'm able to do is tap into your energy, and then I channel high vibrational energies like angel— angelic energies, ascended master energies, um, anything that is right for you at that point. And what I'm able to do then is actually activate and use those higher vibrational energies to help you heal yourself and That's why I try to remind people, you know, I'm not a healer. I mean, correction, I am a healer, but so are you. Like, our bodies are amazing, like amazing at healing themselves. Um, you know, we have a cut on our finger, like a paper cut or something, we don't sit there and ask it to heal. It just heals by itself. But what we're able to do is utilize these different modalities, um, and the power of even, like, like you said, like with crystals and things. All these things can amplify our own healing abilities. And this is why I'm really passionate about helping people, remember you're actually so powerful, and there are ways and methods and people like myself that can help and guide you to actually become a really powerful manifester and healer and creator. Um, so yeah, that's what I helped you do. You, you were, you were quite ill. You had some crazy heavy energies around you. So it's important to do Obviously regular work on your energy system and on your body. It's a bit like going to the gym, right? Like you can't go to the gym once. I hate this analogy because everybody uses it, but it's the one that everybody can relate to.

It's true. Yeah, it's true.

You go to the gym once, you do a bit of cardio and a few weights, you're not gonna magically transform into the body. You have to do it regularly. Same with your energy. Yeah. So one session can really kind of give you that boost. And my, the type of, uh, energy healing I do can be done, uh, in 15 minutes. So I gave you like a 15-minute kind of pure energy boost that got you through that weekend. And then if, you know, you do regular sessions, um, you, you only need them like once every couple of weeks. Um, and that's why I work with like sort of high net worth, uh, individuals. And I work a lot with busy professionals now and in companies. Um, so 10 minutes, I go in, I do some work on them either on Zoom or in, in their offices. Um, and they just have a little boost and that gets them through the next week or the, the rest of the day. So, um, that's, that's what I did for you. So you, you did an amazing job as well because you were open to receiving. You obviously used your crystals. I remember you were saying you had the crystals on. That really amplified that power as well. So it was really cool to connect with you in that way. So thank you for allowing me to do that for you as well.

Thank you. And it's funny that you say that about energy because at the time that I got ill, my little boy is just teething now. So I think because of that, he's— he was basically getting us up through the night maybe 2 or 3 times a night. And you know what it's like when your body doesn't get rest, your body doesn't get sleep, that disease and that illness starts creeping back in. And I think I really just wasn't looking after myself between Christmas and basically when you kind of took over, and it was just I don't know, it was just so weird when I was thinking about it as I was laying there and I was open to this energy coming in. I thought, this is my own doing. This is because I haven't been looking after myself these last few weeks, haven't been getting the rest that I needed. My energy is very depleted. So yes, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel better. Whatever you did, it was magic, honestly. Um, so Lakmi, can you just take me back to the start and just tell me a bit about your journey? How did the 111 approach come about for you?

Yeah, sure. I mean, I'll start, I'll start right back at the beginning because a lot of people ask me that, how did I get into it? And I like to tell this story because I want to show people that it doesn't matter when or where you start off in life. So when I was born, I was quite, um, intuitive. Like, I could see and feel energies which weren't there, let's be honest. I was just like, I thought they were real. Like, you know, you had imaginary friend, and they say that actually those imaginary friends are energies that you can see. So without being too like, I don't know, I'm just, I have no filter, so I'm just gonna say I was the weird Indian kid at school anyway. So I was like the weird, weird brown kid growing up in the '80s. I was like, I didn't wanna be that weird brown kid who also now sees things that weren't there because I just thought everybody had imaginary friends and could see like colors and things. And I was like, okay, when I started school, this is, this is not normal. So obviously I just was like, I wanna just fit in and be like with the cool kids and all that. So I shut it down, and I actually used to, um, because I didn't understand it, and back then there wasn't a lot of information about it. So now I'm just so grateful. You go into Waterstones and this whole section on like spirituality and the holistic healing and stuff. I'm like, where was this when I was growing up? Because there was nothing, you know, it was kind of shunned and put to the side. So I actually rebelled, I kind of went the other way. I, I just shut it down. I just went— anything my parents told me not to do, I did. So I was like massive rebel, went down. And then I did science because I was like, I can explain science, it makes sense to me. Yeah, got into the medical industry, um, training surgeons. So I was there doing that. And then I think about— I think about 10 years ago, just over 10 years ago, I got reintroduced to Reiki, um, and I had a session myself. And I was just like, what the F happened because I could actually feel like, you know, say you felt the energy when I was doing it. I could feel this thing in my chest and it just completely like, I could see it coming out of my chest and I'm like, what? You know, like in, was it Men in Black? Is it Men in Black or The Matrix when he has that thing inside him and it comes out? And I was like, oh my goodness, what's going on? And I was like, haven't been drinking, so I know I'm not drunk. Doing drugs then? I was like, I don't do drugs. This is— I'm not like in mind-altering state. And I was like, I'm not one of these people who were like desperately looking for it. In fact, I was very skeptical about it. I was like, oh, let's just try it, you know, try everything once. Life is about experiences, but going with an open mind. So I was like, yeah, I just couldn't believe it. And then when my, um, aunt, who was the one who was giving it to me, she started explaining, she was like, oh, you've done science, how do you not know everything in the universe is energy and everything's made up of atoms? And I had, and I was like, whoa, yeah, of course. So I went down the rabbit hole, came back. I was in New Zealand at the time. I came back to England and I was just fascinated. And I actually went on a mission to kind of disprove it. I thought, well, maybe it was that placebo effect, and I didn't want to be rude to my aunt that something happened. Um, but she actually initiated me on the beach for, for Reiki, and I could see all these things and all this stuff started flooding back to me. Anyway, I came back researched and did a lot of work on it, trained in it. I actually teach Angelic Reiki and Usui Reiki now. And just learning about the science behind it really fascinated me because the power of your mind. And then again, reminding ourselves that our body, like this thing that we have, we take it for granted. It heals itself. Our brain can convince us of our reality. Like if you really, really, Like, it's that, you know, that dress that was white and gold, and then all people— it's like the craziness, like half the population in the world could see white and gold, but the other half would know it's blue. I was like, that is fascinating, right, how the mind works. So I kind of went into that, and then I was actually trading under Angelic Soul Healing since I started doing it part-time, um, when I, when I got qualified and I could teach it, and I was just like messing around with it., and people like my friends and family are like, look at me, you're telling me stuff I don't even— how do you know this? And I realized that like my psychic intuition was coming through as well, which is why I said what I saw for you as well. And, um, then I was like, whoa, okay, so I'm doing a bit something a bit different here. And then started doing it part-time. And then because I started, um, going into— I started getting a little bit of traction. So COVID happened, we were on lockdown, I was doing everything in person. And although I trained in distant healing and remote healing, I never did it because honestly, I was like, nah, you have to be in person. It doesn't work. Obviously 2020 happened and my first client, so I said, look, I'm still working in the medical field at that time. I was very blessed to still have my job even though we were doing everything remotely. I said, look, I just want people, I know people like suffer. They're like overnight they had nothing. And I know Fran was one of them as well. And I was like, let me just offer anybody who wants to try a little bit. And also for me, I was like, I don't even know if it's going to work if it's online. So I was doing free sessions, and the first client I had, you'd never guess where they were, Mart, in the, in the, in, in geography-wise. I'm in London. Just guess where my first client was, like, in the world. Bali, Australia, New Zealand. I was like, could you get any further? Like, seriously, universe, you bring me the first client? But I know now I had to for my skeptical mind to get behind it, I needed something so crazy and out there for me to, to understand that, yes, look, me, it does work. But then the more I understand about how energy works as well, you don't need to be in front of someone to, to, um, affect their energy. So anyway, did it, and I was kind of— all these things came through. I could see, I could channel, and I was seeing all these things. I could feel it in my body. And then I messaged her, I said, this is what you know, this is what I saw. She was like, oh my God, how did you do that? So again, it kind of just started snowballing. And then I got, um, a few people, uh, I don't like to call them celebrities, but some like kind of people who work in the industry, high profile. Yeah, yeah, in entertainment industries and things. So I started getting a little bit of traction. But due to the nature of my work, obviously I can't disclose some of them. And then, yeah, I started working with my spiritual mentor, and then I channeled because I was like I'll be honest. Oh, I'm allowed to swear on this podcast?

Yeah, you can say anything.

I'm a busy bitch. Yeah, I've got a full-time job, medical, like medical training, and then I'm also trying to do this part-time. And my passion was obviously to build up the part-time business and then do it full-time. So I was like, I'm a busy bitch, and I'm an— I'm a Reiki master teacher, and I don't even have time to meditate. But then I realized I was working with like some scientists about how the mind works. And I was like, and also like how you say consistency is key. I was like, it's better to do something every day. And then I wrote, I read the book Atomic Habits and all these things. And I was like doing a lot of research into how can we do something in today's society that's gonna work and that people can get behind. 'Cause I'm working with all these busy people who have sporadic lifestyles. And the type of Reiki I was doing, because I was doing like 15-20 minute sessions but still getting really powerful results. The 1-1-1 approach came up because I was like, one minute wellness. And I kept thinking, one minute, I was like, everybody's got a minute. I was like, if you don't have a minute in 24 hours, I says, then something is wrong, like something seriously wrong if you can't just take one minute out. And, um, it came about, I learned about this thing called the silent minute which was actually a movement that originated in Glastonbury during World War II. And it was by a guy called Wellesley Tudor-Pole. And he was trying to get everyone around the world. He was like, doesn't matter what religion you believe in or what faith, or even if you don't believe in anything at all, the world is at war. We need to come together and just give one minute of peace. A bit like how they do the Remembrance Day, 11:11, you know, when you do a 2-minute silence. So this guy back in 20— 1940-something got everyone to try and just do 1 minute apiece. And then when I learned about that when I was doing my training, I was like, how do we not learn this in history class when we're learning about World War II? I tell you, Mart, I'm not gonna ruin it for the readers, but if you go to my page on my Instagram, I've got a link to the Wikipedia page. Read up about the silent minute. The fact that people all over the world were doing 1 minute a day, Big Ben would chime at 9 o'clock, and then across the whole radio stations in the UK, and then Churchill got behind it as well, and then also the US president. So loads of people started getting behind it. It created a mass ripple effect, and it actually helped to end World War II. But I'm not gonna tell you how, but go and read it. Fascinating. The power—

that's like a collective synergy, isn't it? It's like a synergy of energy that is just— it ripples outwards, and when something ripples outwards, it's affecting everyone. It's not just affecting you.

Yeah. And then when I heard that, something in me literally— I got chills all down my body. I was like, I need to get this out there. I need people to understand this. And then that's when I started doing, um, the 1-minute meditation. I just thought, I need to just get people behind this. Started going live on Instagram, and yeah, just— I've been doing it for 2 years and 5 weeks, you know, 15 weeks or something now today. Like, I was looking, I was like, oh, I bet he's going to ask me about this. I was like, I better know how many days. So I live for 1 minute on my Instagram, and that's how then 1 Minute Wellness came in. And then I started working with my mentor, got a channel, the 1:1 approach. I was like, 1 minute one focus at a time, one day at a time. Because so many people try to do too many things, especially when they start on a wellness journey or a spiritual journey or any kind of journey. They're like, right, I'm going to change my diet, I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to do meditation, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. And then what do they do? They have an overwhelm, they have a meltdown, they're like, I can't manage it. So what I'm able to do is work with, um, individuals to say, right, let's just commit to doing let's focus on one area first. We do one-minute wellness, and then I combine it with the powerful Reiki that I do, the regular Reiki. And then what they find is it's like it ripples out to the rest of their life. So we just go, go through each area, but then what they find is everything is connected. So even if they're only focusing on, say, their health, or they're only focusing on their work, everything else is affected. And it's, it's, it's It's actually mad. I was like, I don't really, well, I do understand it because everything's energy and it's connected, but it's still shocking to me sometimes. I had a client yesterday and he said, look at me, because I had, we had this session before Christmas and back in October actually. And then he was like, I remember you saying some, and he doesn't mind me sharing it. I won't say his name, but he said he could share it because I saw him holding an award. I was like, I just see you holding an award. And there was also some other stuff going on.. And he just was like, he didn't say anything because he's one of my regular clients, but he literally messaged me yesterday. He was like, I had to tell you this, Lakmi. He goes, I thought that award thing was a bit of BS because I was like, in my line of industry we don't have awards. And then he was like, yesterday, over the weekend they had like a conference, sales conference. He goes, and they said, oh, this year we're doing awards. And he goes, I won the award for the London area. And I was just like, Oh my God, right? That's mad. That is absolutely crazy. So things like that happen when even he just came to work on his relationship, but he's saying that his business has boomed. He's obviously getting awards, opportunities are just coming in his lap. So it's— everything's connected.

Do you know what? It's so weird that you say all that because I, I'll quite happily share what you told me, if that's okay with you. Um, so obviously you'd messaged me, you told me about what you saw during while you were sending energy to me And then you said something that was very particular, and it means a lot to me personally, but I know people won't understand this. But you said you could see a number 8, almost like the infinity symbol, and you said it was bulging and quite large at one end compared to the other, almost like the Virgin Media symbol. It's very weird that you say that. I can't, I can't talk about it any further, so I don't even know why I brought it up, to be honest. But that does actually mean something to me. And then you said I just feel that once your illness is out of the way, 2025 has huge expansive energy for you. And you know what, I went straight to Fran and I went, I've just had this from Lakmi, have a listen, what do you think? And she said, oh my God, nobody knows the name of your book yet, but my book is called Limitless. And she was like, expansive energy, limitless energy. She was like, It's pretty much the same thing. And it was almost like I just thought, this expansive energy, does it mean that my book's going to take off? Does it mean that another opportunity is going to come up? Because it's so funny that you said that Virgin Media symbol, because that means something, something I can't even talk about it on the podcast, but it means something to me that I want to tell everyone but I can't just yet. And it's just, yeah, it's, it's just incredible. And I just honestly cannot believe that you said that, and it literally made me kind of take a step back and just look at my phone. And I ran upstairs and I was like, Johnny, listen to this, listen what she's just said. And he kind of just went wide-eyed and he was like, oh my God, how does she know? And I was like, I have no idea, I have no idea. I was like, she's, she's magic. Um, so yeah, so that was kind of my experience. But just the fact that you said that 2025 is going to be expansive for me, I just thought, this, this is weird because I felt this expansive energy myself. And I was saying to my members, I was like, 2025 in numerology, 2-0-2-5 is 9, which is the number of completion. So it's the number when, you know, all of your kind of manifestations are going to come to fruition and doors are going to start like closing on the end of like an era kind of thing. And I just thought, isn't that weird? Isn't that so weird that you felt that as well? So yeah, that was my experience with you.

And now, now that you're saying it's coming back, because I do— when I've closed off, I completely forget unless I've like messaged you and then after been listening back there. But now you said that, remember, because that, that symbol then turned into like a— it was like a column of light and it just kept growing and growing. And I was like, oh my gosh, this year is going to be so cool for you. Like, it was just filling your column of light. This beautiful golden light was just pouring in and it was just getting bigger and bigger. And my hands were just getting wider and wider. I was like, wow, this guy is just going to blow up. So in the best way. I forget that I'm brown and I shouldn't say say that. Don't worry, you know, I'm a joker. I'm like a realist. I also like— I also say to people, like, I'm also trying to break down what people in the spiritual world should look like, should talk like, should act like.

A lot of stigma, isn't there?

Yeah, so much, so much so. And it's like, um, I'm just like, I'm still human. I still enjoy, like, you know, I still drop the F-bomb now and again. I like Like, I just like my stuff. I'm human when I'm human, and then when I'm spiritual, I'm spiritual. But you can merge the two because we are spiritual beings having a human experience. So, you know, there's a balance. Like, this— I just— this is what I also like to, to help people understand, that acceptance of where you are in your journey. Like, I'm no Buddhist monk, right? And I'm just like me, but I'm still learning, I'm still growing, I'm still expanding. Our soul is constantly expanding. You know. And, um, oh, I'm getting— sorry, I'm just getting a little, a little— I get little things to say, yeah, this, you're right, or say this and say that. So sometimes I get a bit weird in that way. But yeah, no, um, it's true. And, and I, I, I— that's why I say to people, I use the term Reiki just so that people can kind of understand, but when they have a session, it's, it's so different. That's why I call it intuitive Reiki, because each time I will channel something else, or I will— you like angelic energy always comes through, but other things happen. So like, it's funny because I say I'm slightly psychic but mostly psycho, because I was like, sometimes psychic stuff comes in, but other stuff is like, it's so pure and it's just so amazing. But I love doing— I love doing it, and I love talking about stuff like this with people that are in the same kind of mindset, because I can't talk about this with everyone, and Um, you know, I love what you do as well, and I love what Fran does. And, and, um, yeah, it's just amazing, amazing.

Speaking of people in the same circle and the same kind of, you know, the mindset of, you know, this open consciousness, you said something to me the other day and it really made me do a little bit of research on it because it was something that I'd never heard of before, which is 5D energy. Now what you said to me was that, you know, a lot of spiritual people, a lot of healers especially, are getting sick at the moment, and it's because of this 5D energy coming in. So how do you define 5D energy, and how can people shift from the 3D to 5D consciousness? What, what's your perspective on that?

Yeah, okay, so disclaimer, I'm no expert in this because I'm still also learning to manage and absorb and get everything sorted. Like, as in, I have my own mentors as well that I work with, and they've been teaching me about like how in our universe, in our galaxy as well, things have just shifted since 2012. And I go from a scientific point of view, so apologies, listeners, you're going to get a little bit of a science lesson. I promise it won't be as boring as the ones in school. But since 2012, our planet, planet's solar system has actually moved slightly because everything's moving, right? Nothing's static. We've actually moved in a different part of the universe. So we were in, it's called the photon band and photon means light. So we're actually in a band of light now in the universe. So where you say we've had the dark ages, we've been in the dark. So if you think about it since 2012, there's a lot of books on this as well, 2012 and beyond, I think from Diane Cooper and others as well. Because we're in the photon band and light is now being shone on our planet and lots of things are coming out of the darkness. So it does sometimes feel like, wow, the world is such a crazy place. All these things are coming out of the dark, like the MeToo stuff and all these people who just had lots of stuff, Trump and all these things. I don't want to get political now, but It's because light's being shed on them. Everything is coming out of the darkness, so it seems like things are going bad, but actually it's a good thing because if it stays in the dark and hidden, you can never deal with it and you can't, um, sort of work through it and, and, and get better, right?

With 5D, so where obviously 3D is everything you can touch and feel, your 4D consciousness is when you meditate, you can get into a consciousness beyond. There's 5D energy now because our planet is ready to ascend. So we're always, we're always growing, we're always expanding. So 5D, fifth dimensional consciousness, is now available to us, which is why people have just been feeling a bit out of sorts. Even, even if you're not in the spiritual world, even if you're not a healer or a light worker, anyone who's quite empathetic or just really sensitive to energies— and you know, we've all met those people who are just like genuine pure souls. You're like, you are an you, and they're just like, I'm just me, I'm just so nice. They might not be into spirituality or into this kind of world, but they're just genuine, beautiful people. And you're like, that person is just A+ like Good Samaritan kind of person. Even they will be feeling like energies like this because it's their soul kind of like adjusting to this new energy we're in. Our physical bodies are kind of— can't get used to it at the moment. It has to purge, it has to detox, which is why even I've been talking to, like I said, people who are not in this world but of such beautiful people, and even they've had injuries that have taken so long to heal, or they're getting sick like you were. I myself have still recovering from an injury on my foot, and I've been giving Reiki to it every day, and I'm like It's getting better. Let's be like— I was like, oh, we're getting better. Because the doctor, when I went for my last blood test, they were like, how come you're not on your crutches? You were supposed to be in crutches for 4 to 6 weeks. I was like, I've been doing Reiki. I'm like, I'm off the crutches. I was on crutches for 2 weeks. No, just like I left, I left my Netflix at the doctor's office, obviously. But yeah, um, but, um, yeah, so it's, you know, I was— but even now I still can't— I'm still hobbling around a little bit, and it's been coming up to 5 weeks, and I'm like, what's going on? And again, there's a lot of stigma there as well, as it's like, oh, you're a healer, can't you just heal yourself? But there is, because it's because there is a lot going on energetically in the 5D. It just means that we're getting rid of all the things that don't serve us. A lot of people now just don't have the patience to put up with the BS. Let's be honest, like, there's a lot of BS, there's a lot of mask wearing in our society. But those walls are coming down now because people's souls are literally yearning for something more, and our physical body can't manage it at the moment. So it's trying to adjust to this new energy, and that's why people are feeling a bit ill or they're taking a little bit longer, but it's all good. So I just say to people, be grateful for it. I know it's really hard to be grateful when you're feeling ill, but just be grateful because your body knows how to heal. Like it's, you know, we don't need to tell it what to do. Our white blood cells, all these things, they know what to do. We just need to give it the tools to be able to do it. So eat well, get— stay hydrated, rest, utilize things like energy healing and meditations and crystals. That's just going to amplify everything. Give your body all the, the resources it needs because it knows what to do.

I was going to say, it's almost like energetic alignment, isn't it? And ultimately, that energetic alignment is going to play a huge role in, you know, manifestation and personal growth as well, isn't it?

Yes, 100%. And like, even now, because, uh, for the month of February, um, we're in planetary alignment, so all the— the 6 planets are visible. But on the 28th, 7 planets are going to be visible and in alignment. So it's a really powerful time, this period that we're in, um, to, to kind of manifest, to align, to, to just get your mindset right. And yeah, we've all have bad days and all have negative thoughts. It's not about just completely disregarding them, it's just becoming aware, moving through them. And then, you know, always I say is just be grateful for everything you're going through, because it's— the challenges are always also a lesson. But it's hard, trust me, I know it's hard, because when you're in it, you're just like, this is crap, I can't do it.

It is, it's incredibly hard when you're in it, you can't think of anything else. I know you— speaking of wellness, I know you said at the start as well about workplace wellness, and I know that that's quite a big focus for you. So what are some kind of key energetic shifts that, you know, companies could take to create a healthier work environment? Is there something that they can just kind of do with their employees? I'm asking for me, basically.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, so employee wellness is a big, big topic now. Employee mental health. Um, because since— again, I keep saying the C word— but since COVID since the pandemic, people realize that actually your physical and mental health— and I argue that mental health more important than physical health because your mind controls everything. So if you can or you can't, you're right. Um, your mind has to be healthy first. Um, so, uh, businesses and business owners are, are finding that, you know, without the employees, guess what? They don't have a business, right? So it's really important that they do look after their employees and not just do the standard Oh, here's a discounted gym membership. Here's a HelloFresh box. I love HelloFresh. I'm not really— I'm not dissing it, but you know, just the basic stuff. Oh, here, here's some yoga sessions. Those are great, but there's still a lot of stigma for people to actually use them. Because I remember when I was working with my company in the medical field, they had a whole employee perk box that you could log in and you can use. How many people actually used it? Because there's a lot of stigma of like, 'Right, if I do take that counseling session from work, my manager is going to be like, well, why do you need it? Are you not capable of doing your job?' But what they're doing now is having people like me come in. It's almost like a, 'Hey, look what we've got for you. There's something different,' um, or, 'We've got a breathwork person coming in,' or, 'We've got a sound healing session for you,' and having it within the, you know, um, workday. So either in the morning before they start, or in the lunch, or in at the end, and they have a chance to actually experience this technique or modality that they maybe haven't had a chance to do so. So that's what you can do, um, have something that's a little bit new, a little bit refreshing, something out of the box, because that's what our employees are like, oh, this is something different, and they're having us have it in, in our workspace, so I don't have to go out and do anything. So making it really easy for your employees, um, and that's why What I do is I come in and I just have 10 minutes one-on-one time with the employees. So if they have a sign-in sheet when— so I'm actually working, I can say now I'm working with Vodafone in Central London. Yeah, so all about this whole line thing, it's— I've been working on stuff so long last year, like all these businesses and companies, and now it's finally coming into fruition, which is great. But yeah, they have me come in and they do sometimes do a group session. But what's really powerful is when I go in and I do 10 minutes of one-on-one sessions with the team, and it's done in their work period. So, they don't have to take out massive chunks of their lunchtime because an hour session, you've got an hour for lunch. You want to eat first and foremost. And let's be honest, you know, we all want to sit on our phone for a little bit. I know it's not the greatest, but we all do it. I'm not going to pretend that we don't. Um, you know, you want that downtime to yourself. So you're not going to sit there and be like, right, I'm gonna go and have a Reiki session for an hour. I'm like, nah, I'm not doing that. Um, so the 10-minute sessions work really well. So people can just drop in and out through their lunch break or their coffee break, or I'm just gonna go to the bathroom, but yeah, I'm gonna have 10-minute break and then go. And, and that way you can do it, and it can be done online as well. So a lot of people who work remotely, they can just log in, have a little bit of a session, and it just gives them that little boost for the rest of the day. Um, But things like doing stuff, um, that's a bit out of the ordinary and making it okay for your employees to use it. Just be like, I've paid for this, please use it, you know, almost forcing them to do it because there's still a lot of stigma. Like, is it going to look weird if I wanted it and I've signed up? But the, you know, I've got another company, um, a family-run trades company in Birmingham that I go over there once a month, and at first it was really difficult to get them to come, but they were like, we've paid for this, this is part of your working day, we want you to go and have a 10-minute rest. They couldn't get— they couldn't get their head around it. They're like, but, but we're working. I'm like, yeah, but this is part of your work. Part of your work is to rest. And now I've been doing it for 6 months, they absolutely love it. They're like, when you coming next? When you coming next? And it's really nice to be like part of that team.

So do you know, I love how open people are to, you know, any kind of spiritual modalities at the moment especially. And I think it is since the pandemic and since COVID that people have started becoming a lot more open to it. Because back in, I'm going to say it was like 2014, 2015, I really should know the dates because I talk about it in my book, but back, I'm going to say it's about 10 years ago, my manager said to me, I want you to go on a mindfulness course. And I'd said, why? And she said, well, it's fully funded by the NHS. I was working in mental health at the time. And she said to me, I think it'd be really beneficial for you because you do get quite short and sharp, you know, if I get a snotty email from someone and something needs doing, and you can almost kind of go inward on yourself. And she said, I just want you to maybe sit back and relax and breathe. So I'm going to send you on this mindfulness course. I ended up becoming a mindfulness tutor because of that course. And every single role that I had in the NHS after that, I would be like, oh, I'm a mindfulness coach. And they would go, you believe in that? Oh, it would get shot down with something like, what, you teach people how to meditate? What's the point in that? And I'm like, you are working for the NHS in mental health, how can you not know about this? And I just feel like the world has changed so much in the last 10 years especially, that we have all of these people now that are willing to, you know, give their employees maybe half an hour to an hour out of their working day to work on their mental health. I love it. I absolutely love it. It was everything that I was, you know, working towards myself in mental health. So to have that out there actively and to have people like yourself going into workplaces Hats off to you, I find it amazing. Um, obviously I've worked in a lot of toxic and draining workspaces, I'm sure you have as well. What's kind of one, one activity or one ritual that you would recommend to someone to keep their energy balanced and aligned?

So the one thing I say to everyone is you need to protect your energy. Like, it doesn't matter if you're spiritual or not. I say this to some of the high-flying CEOs that I work with, and they're not spiritual whatsoever, they're just like, the fact that I can take their stress away So you have to protect your energy. So you've got to do some kind of energy protection and energy release. I am all about the 1-minute hacks and doing things that don't take extra time. So there is one I say to people, I'm hoping everybody has a shower at least once a day, right? You can do this in the shower. And I do have a reel on it that's pinned onto my Instagram if people do forget this. So, once you go into the shower, just take 30 seconds to just imagine and visualise and say out loud or in your mind to say, "Allow the water to take away and cleanse anything that does not serve me or is not from me. Any energy that I may have picked up that's not mine, I release it now. I release it now. I release it now." Like, intention and your words are so powerful. Like, people forget. They're just like, "How can How can I do that? Well, guess what? Like, I could do it for you, but you know what's more powerful is you doing it for yourself because it's your body and it's the energy that you've picked up. It's like with anything, like, I could eat the pizza and tell you how it tastes, but if you, unless you eat the pizza yourself, you're not going to get the taste of the pizza, are you? So I help people to like remember that they can do it themselves. So release the, release any negativity, any low vibration energy, watch it go down the drain. That's really important because again, it's a visual reminder to you that that energy is left. Now I'm just going to put a disclaimer out there for people who are very visual. Don't be alarmed if the water actually goes a little bit gray or murky, because that is actually you visualizing that energy. Not everyone's like that, it's fine. I'm not very visual. But then when you get out of the shower, then, um, it's about protection. So then as you're drying, using your towel to dry your body, imagine that a layer of protection— you're always putting like a skin or an armour along your body. Now, as with anything, Mart, you know, people would listen to this and they'll be like, "Right, I'm going to do it." And then what? Guess what? You forget, right? So this is a reminder to you. If you don't want things in your bathroom, like saying, "Remember to do your energy protection." If you don't like written things on the wall, right? Just have a random thing, choose a random object, maybe a crystal, let's be honest. Put it in your bathroom somewhere you're going to see it when you're in the shower. So then when you look at that random item that shouldn't really be in your bathroom, you're like, right, that's my reminder to do my energy protection and release. And once it then becomes a part of your routine— now I don't have to have that reminder now because I do it every single day without fail— but that's what— that's going to protect your energy. So even when you're in these toxic places, you've got this— you can almost remember that you've got this like layer of skin around you and That's the one thing I will always say, because your energy is yours, and you— it's your job to protect it, no one else's.

Yeah, I love that little thing about the trigger or the anchor as well, because I do that. And I was just saying to my members just the other week, on a morning I tend to be that busy getting the baby ready for nursery or getting myself ready for the day ahead, I tend to forget my affirmations. So I've got an anchor point now that the second I get in the car and seatbelt clicks in, that's my trigger in my head to just start rhyming off affirmations. It's only a 5-minute drive down to my office, but it's almost like that, that seatbelt clicking in is my, okay, time to affirm exactly what I want in life. And I do the same in the shower as well. When I get in the shower, I tend to do a bit of tapping in the shower or a bit of visualization, just because I find that the water energy is so— I'm not a water sign, but I find it so powerful and so potent. And I find that, you know, the cleansing visualization, what you just did there, I'm definitely going incorporate that because it takes no extra time as well. It's things that we're already doing. We're having a shower, we're drying ourselves, do you know what I mean? So washing away all that energy and then putting on that layer of armor— I'm going to start doing that. It's amazing. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, where do you kind of see the future of energy healing going? Like, are we moving towards a collective spiritual awakening, do you think?

100%. That's why this 5D energy is coming in, um, people are gonna start realizing that, and really realizing that there is so much abundance. And when you come together with a pure intention and a pure line of like, right, even though we're doing the same thing, there's so much, so many people, so many people and souls that need our help. And not just people, like animals and the Earth, you know. We, we always just tend to forget that. We're like, oh, 'Oh, that person does the same as me. They're going to take my clients,' or this, that. I'm just saying this because I actually used to do— I've got no problem admitting that I used to be in this mindset. But it's almost like my angels and my guides in the universe kind of forced me to see that actually there's so much abundance. 2 years ago, I literally got— something just fell in my lap in terms of I got the opportunity to be at Mind Body Spirit Festival at the NEC in Birmingham. Massive one, right? And it got, it was with my, uh, one of my angelic Reiki teachers who taught me way back when. And she said, I wanna do this with you. I said, but we're both angelic Reiki teachers. She was like, yeah, it doesn't matter. We're just doing this together. She's gonna keep seeing it. So we shared a stand, Mart, even though we did the same thing, similar things, but same thing. And we did a, we did a talk together on the stage as well, but it was so beautiful because I was was like sort of almost promoting her stuff. She had launched a book as well, and then she was promoting my stuff because I just started going into corporates and stuff. And she was— it was just such a beautiful synergy. And nobody, even the organizers, were like, hang on, you're two separate businesses? We're like, yeah. But you're doing the same thing. I'm like, yep. And it was so beautiful to show that collaboration does not have to mean competition. And, you know, again, like, we— there's so many people out there, there's so many animals, there's so places on Earth. Like, the Earth needs healing as well. So I feel like the future of energy healing is people stepping into their power. And that's why I'm really passionate about reminding people, you know, whoever's listening to this, you are so powerful. Please, please, please do not give your power away. Like, even to people like me, like, I will guide you, but if I'm doing my job properly, I will do your— I'll do your regular Reiki sessions that's not a problem, but I love teaching people how to do it themselves. And I remember I was with, um, an ex of mine, and they were like, but if you teach them, then they're not— you're like, you're like jeopardizing your, like, client base. I'm like, it's not about that. You obviously don't get it. That's like, the more people that learn this and do it for themselves, and it's like a ripple effect, right? And I'm, I'm a healer. I still get healing done from other people. Like, I do a service swap. I just had one last night, so I I give distant Reiki to her, she gives distant Reiki to me, because it's important. We need to do our own healing as well and make sure our energy is high. So there'll always be enough for everyone. And I just feel that more people are gonna just realize that they are so powerful, that they can have an impact. Because I feel like society has made us look at all the separate— separation, whether it's the color of your skin, what you believe in, where you live, what you— all these things are all separate. But actually, when we start looking at the similarities, like, you know, we look very different, but if, if you cut me open and I cut you open, we're inside, we're the same, the same, we're the same. So if we start focusing on what's similar rather than what's different, that's where the energy, energy expansion is going to go, definitely.

Amazing. And just before we wrap up as well, for someone that is just starting out on their journey into energy healing, 5D consciousness, you know, what is the first step that they could take?

Um, I would definitely look into finding a mentor or a guide who can help you through that. Um, and it doesn't have to be me, but anyone you resonate with. And can I just take this opportunity to say as well, please utilize your intuition and tap into yourself first. Because I'm going to say this, it's very difficult for me to say this because I'm still kind of moving through it, but I, I actually myself as a healer, I got scammed not once but twice. And this was when I was in a very vulnerable state after my dad passed, um, 5 years ago now. And I was searching for some help and some ways to connect and just move through the grief. But unfortunately, there was two times where I got taken advantage of in my vulnerable state. So it's really important to find someone you trust. Do a bit of research as well, please. I'm more than happy to help anyone, um, if, if you've got questions or you want to vet someone. I'll, I'll try my best to do that, um, but you use your intuition and let someone guide you through it first. But I say that with a little bit of a pinch of salt because I don't want anyone to get scammed because it happened to me. And I'm really passionate about helping people to weed out the people that are unfortunately only in this industry to make a quick buck. And it saddens me to say that because I really would've thought that this space would've been sacred and for people who have the best intentions. But we live in a world of duality, as above, so below. There is light and there is dark, and we have to navigate through that, unfortunately, because that's, that's what life's about. So I'm more than happy to help anyone. Um, that's why I specialize in actually helping people start on their spiritual journey and their wellness journey. And when I was doing that channeling with the 111 approach, I said to my mentor, I says, I keep seeing myself as the flyer girl or the shot girl outside the bar on a strip saying, hey, come in, have a free shot. So I feel like that's my role, to say to people who are not necessarily like woke or into this space, to be like, 'Hey, come in. Do you know they do Reiki in hospitals? It's not that woo-woo, right?' And then they have a session with me, they open their eyes and they're like, 'Holy crap, what did you do?' I'm like, 'Come in, because there's this whole world of spirituality and stuff like crystals, manifestation, quantum healing, shamanic healing, sound healing. Go be free and explores. I'm that kind of gateway. I'm your gateway drug, basically, let's be honest.

So yeah, I love that. And how can people find you then, Lakmi? Where are you at?

Um, I, I'm, I'm everywhere. So primarily on Instagram, I do my live 1-minute meditations every day at 8 o'clock. Um, and I'm on Instagram, so I'm on TikTok, um, kind of on Facebook, but everything's the same. I'm at The 111 Approach. And for those of people who have got businesses and want to do some wellness in the workplace, either for themselves or for their employees. It is actually tax deductible as well. LinkedIn's probably the best place to connect with me on there. Um, but yeah, I'm pretty much everywhere.
