What if the essence of healing lies not in treatment, but in personal spiritual development? Join us as we sit down with Steve Gooch, a distinguished artist, writer, and personal development coach, to unpack the profound and transformative journey of Reiki.

In this enlightening episode, Steve redefines Reiki beyond the common misconceptions of it being merely a healing therapy. He emphasizes the critical role of self-treatment and inward focus, illustrating how true spiritual growth places you at the still center of life’s chaos.

Steve Gooch
With a background as a noted artist printmaker and sculptor and working with some of the leading
visual artists of his generation, Steve moved into international education at the turn of the
millennium, having a radically transformative and expansive impact on the art hubs under his watch
in Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
Passionate about his own personal and spiritual development he undertook studies and training in
several spiritual disciplines and pursued interests in esoteric Buddhism, inter-religious studies,
philosophy, and meditation.
Steve has written three books: ‘Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Compassion & Wisdom’, ‘Mindfulness
Meditation & The Art of Reiki’ and ‘Manifesting Abundance with Reiki’, and is considered one of the
leading authorities in this field. The perspective that he pursues through all three books is a radical
departure from the mainstream interpretations of this subject. He is regularly invited for interviews
and speaking engagements on the topic of Reiki and personal, spiritual development.
In recent years he has been focused on developing his visual arts practice, meditation-based and
spiritually focused courses, retreats, and workshops, offering them across the UK, Egypt, Cyprus,
Jordan, and parts of Eastern Europe.
He is now widely considered to be one of Egypt’s leading personal development coaches, working
with celebrities, politicians, and media stars in the north African country. He routinely works as a
coach with some of the leading fashion houses in Saudi Arabia.

What happens when a career in the mortgage industry takes an unexpected turn due to a life-altering diagnosis? On this episode of Ready Set Reiki, we welcome Caroline Vu, a talented painter from Los Angeles whose incredible journey from health coach to artist was ignited by her battle with stage 2 breast cancer. Listen as Caroline shares her story of resilience and creativity, revealing how she discovered her passion for painting during her recovery. Infused with Reiki, her art channels positivity and healing, encouraging personal transformation and emotional exploration. Learn how a cranial sacral massage introduced her to energy work and helped her process grief in profound ways.

Through Caroline's empowering narrative, we explore the significance of authenticity and vulnerability in the creative process, and how art can be a powerful tool for healing. Discover the role of visualization and imagery in maintaining a victorious mindset, and the impact of affirmations, meditation, and community support during her battle with stage four breast cancer. Caroline also highlights her current offerings, including customized Reiki-infused paintings, and recommends the influential book "Power Versus Force" by David R. Hawkins. Tune in to uncover how combining art with holistic practices can lead to profound empowerment and healing.

Caroline Vu is a Los Angeles-based painter, who uses acrylic & oil paint to make her art. Caroline creates pictures that can be tools, combining art and energy. She infuses some of her artwork with Reiki through affirmations and visualization to channel positivity and healing. Her paintings are made to encourage viewers to explore the subconscious, embrace personal transformation, and maintain their focus on their goals and dreams. Blending the visual, spiritual, and scientific, her art offers a portal for empowerment.

While not all of her creations involve Reiki, her work reflects on the beauty and struggles of life. She is a stage 4 breast cancer survivor of 10 years.

With paintings, she uses images to connect to our human states as a way of healing. Using our emotions and acknowledging them is a powerful way to heal and navigate through life. Even though emotions can be temporary, she believes it’s important to validate them as inform us. Through her artwork, she paints the emotions, the good and the bad, to evoke feelings of joy, bliss, fear, anger, and sadness. Her mission is to inspire, empower, and help guide others through art.
