Episode Description
Reset, Renew, Revive is a weekly podcast hosted by Dr. Bindiya Gandhi. The purpose of this podcast is to educate, inspire and transform lives through Integrative & Functional Medicine.
On this week’s episode of Reset Renew Revive, I had a conversation with the spiritually divine chef extraordinaire, Serena Poon. Serena is a Chef, Certified Nutritionist, and a Reiki Master. She is a healer of all aspects of life and we are definitely blessed to have her on our show to share her powerful words of wisdom.
In this episode, we discuss many topics such as how Serena got started in her wellness journey, what Reiki is and how it works, energetic blocks in our bodies, the seven chakras, and much more. Serena also dives into her own personal meditation practices because most of us know that meditation can be difficult, especially for those who have never practiced it.
Serena also talks about how powerful our minds can be. It always goes back to the mind and gut connection but also, doing practices that alleviate the mind from tearing us down. Not everything we think is what we feel so it’s very important to be mindful of our thoughts before we put them into the atmosphere. Tune in and find out more about this knowledgeable goddess and how to take the right steps into healing our mind, body, and soul!

MEMORABLE QUOTES
- “Reiki, which is the study that I trained in… it’s basically a healing art. It has its roots in Japanese origin, because the word Reiki comes from a combination of the Japanese word ‘rey’ which means universal life, and ‘ki’ which means energy.”
- “Essentially what you’re doing as a practitioner… you are channeling the energy from the universe. You’re almost like a conduit and you’re channeling and directing it with intention with a specific person, place, area in someone’s body… an object.”
