Guest: Sayra — Artist, Reiki Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, Holistic Healer

Episode Summary

In this deeply reflective episode of Spiritual Friction, Laurel LeMohn sits down with Sayra—artist, Reiki practitioner, certified yoga teacher, and holistic healer—for a powerful conversation about consciousness, trauma recovery, and the healing wisdom of water.

Sayra shares her personal journey from a childhood shaped by grief, domestic violence, and instability to a life rooted in embodiment, nature, and spiritual practice. Together, Laurel and Sayra explore how trauma lives in the body, how movement and breath can restore flow, and why water—both within us and around us—may be one of our greatest teachers.

This conversation weaves together somatic healing, energy work, feminine embodiment, ancestral memory, and the idea that healing is not about forcing change—but about learning how to flow.

What We Explore in This Episode

• The body as a keeper of memory and unprocessed emotion
• How yoga and movement create safety when words can’t
• Reiki, energy work, and embodied healing practices
• Consciousness as the foundation of all matter
• Nature as healer: grounding, water, and seasonal living
• Water as memory, medicine, and master element
• Healing through flow instead of resistance
• Trusting intuition and taking courageous risks
• Releasing identity to reclaim the Self
• Offering compassion and reassurance to the younger self

Key Quotes

“Water is the master element. It can flow, it can crash—and it teaches us how to live.”

“I didn’t know I was grieving—I just thought I was depressed.”

“What I was leaving wasn’t just a place—it was an identity.”

“Healing didn’t come from thinking. It came from coming back into my body.”

Why This Conversation Matters

Many people move through life disconnected from their bodies, intuition, and the natural rhythms meant to support healing. This episode offers a compassionate reminder that healing doesn’t require certainty or perfection—only presence, patience, and willingness to listen.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation invites you to soften, breathe, and remember: flow is always available.
