The emptiness that arrives when a child leaves home

This post has been patiently sitting in my journal since my last child left home last August.
I funnily felt ready to post it today.

There is a weird emptiness that settles in when a child leaves home.
Having four children gave me a false sense of security. I thought I had years before the house went quiet. But the last child leaving snuck up ridiculously fast and hit a nerve I wasn’t expecting.
It is not heavy.
It is not dramatic.
It's a quiet emptiness that moves through the house and through the body.
The rhythm of life changes, familiar sounds fade, the daily excuse 'it's for the kids' is no longer.
The heart feels the space before the mind understands it.
This emptiness is a sign of new beginnings, the beginning of a new relationship with you!
Room for reflection and room for the parts of you that waited patiently while you lovingly raised your children.
The comfort zone of motherhood shifts, the identity softens, the soul steps forward.
Whatever stage you are in on the motherhood journey, take a deep breath and give yourself permission to be happy.
Celebrate your children.
Embrace everything that comes your way.

The world feels heavy right now.
And if you’ve been carrying that weight, please know you are not alone in it. So many are feeling the collective unease that comes when the world outside seems loud, uncertain, and at times, frightening.
Here are a few gentle reminders for navigating these times with a little more softness.
Give yourself permission to step away:
If the news is leaving you feeling drained it is absolutely okay to close turn off the television, and simply not consume it. Staying informed does not mean staying immersed in fear.
Reach out and talk to someone.
A conversation with a friend, a family member can offer you a perspective you hadn’t considered.
Hold opinions lightly:
Yours and everyone else’s. Opinions are not facts, and in times of collective fear they can feel much louder than they deserve to be.
Find the small moments and stay there a little longer:
Slowing sipping a cup of tea, watching the sunset, being present in conversation.
Be kind to yourself:
Fear is exhausting, uncertainty is exhausting. If you are moving more slowly or finding it harder to show up, that’s ok.
Treat yourself with the same gentleness you would offer someone you love:
You cannot fix what is outside your control.
What you can do is tend to the small space around you. The way you speak to people, the energy you bring into a room, the choices you make each day that add a little more light to your own corner of the world.
And finally, remember that some people around you are really struggling, more than they are showing.
We are all doing the best we can.
And that is enough. 🌿

I'm asked often - what actually is Usui Reiki?
Reiki was born in Japan in the early 1900s by a man named Mikao Usui, a spiritual seeker, scholar, and teacher who spent years searching for a way to understand the healing power he believed existed within and beyond us all.
After years of study and a 21-day meditation retreat on Mount Kurama a profound awakening happened.
In that moment, Usui Sensei received what we now call Usui Reiki.
Along with it came the symbols, knowledge, and the ability to channel and share this with others.
He spent the rest of his life teaching it and passing the lineage on.
That lineage has been passed down through an unbroken chain of teachers and students ever since.
And it was passed to me.
When I give a Reiki session, I don't generate the energy myself.
I'm not the source.
I'm the channel, the vessel.
Before every session I call in Dr Usui and the Reiki lineage, the long line of teachers and healers who have carried this work before me. I invite the ascended masters and guides who hold this tradition, to work with me.
And then I step aside.
What flows through my hands into the energy field of the person on my table or in the distant energy field, is something far greater than anything I could offer alone.
I feel it as warmth, as a kind of sacred hum, sometimes as an almost electric tingle in my palms.
And the person receiving it? They feel it too.
Reiki works with the symbols Dr Usui received on that mountain and I am attuned to those symbols.
They are sacred geometries of energy, each one carrying a specific vibration and purpose.
For grounding and physical healing, emotional and mental clearing. For connection across distance and time. For the deepest level of spiritual healing and alignment.
These symbols are not decorations. They are keys.
When activated, they amplify and direct the flow of healing energy with precision and intention.
A connection to something ancient, something that has been healing people for over a hundred years.
If you are curious, let me know.

Distant Reiki; is it really as powerful as in person reiki?
This is the question I get asked most about distant or absent healing (both the same thing).
And the honest answer is yes and sometimes more so.
Energy is not bound by physical space. This isn't mystical thinking; quantum physics has been pointing at this for decades. Everything is energy. Energy moves.
When I offer a distance Reiki session, I work with your energy field via a proxy (ie photo, pillow), just as I would if you were lying on my table in Ōhaupō.
The release, the rebalancing, the restoration, all of it happens.
I've given distance sessions to clients in the UK, Australia, the USA, and across New Zealand.
The feedback is consistently the same, deep relaxation, emotional release, and a sense of lightness that lasts.
You don't have to be in person to experience healing.

I have the fire on today.
Rain on the roof, grey skies, nowhere to be.
Autumn has a way of asking us to slow down whether we're ready or not.
And honestly? I think our bodies are grateful for it.
This is the season to turn inward. To rest without guilt. To let the year's weight start to soften.
If something feels heavy, autumn is the perfect time to begin releasing it.
🌿 I have sessions available this week, in-person and distance.

Can I describe you for a second?
You love people. Deeply, genuinely, wholeheartedly. And yet… after being with them, you need to disappear into your own world just to breathe again.
You light up in meaningful conversations — the kind that go somewhere real. But small talk? It drains you in minutes.
You’re the friend who somehow always knows what someone needs before they’ve said a word. The one who carries everyone else’s pain like it’s your own.
You have a creativity that lives so deep inside you, most people don’t even know it’s there. You think in patterns, in symbols, in feelings that don’t always have words yet.
You care ferociously about doing the right thing. You have a personal code — unspoken but unshakeable. And when the world around you violates it, it doesn’t just bother you. It hurts.
You thrive when your work means something. When you’re genuinely helping people. When the environment around you feels safe, cooperative, and real. But rigid systems, cold bureaucracy, and “that’s just how it’s done” energy? It slowly hollows you out.
You want connection AND solitude. Purpose AND peace. To be seen AND left alone sometimes.
You are not a contradiction.
You are an INFJ.
And you are so, so not alone. 💛

Hello, I thought it might be a good time to reintroduce myself for those who are new here.
My name is Karina. I’m a Registered Nurse of 34 years, a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, Access Bars Facilitator and Intuitive, and I run Breathe Reiki Room here in Ohāupo, NZ.
Nursing taught me something very important early in my career — the person in front of you always comes first.
Over the years I’ve carried that same philosophy into my healing work. Techniques and modalities are helpful, but what matters most is the person who walks through the door and what they are carrying.
Many of my clients come to see me when their nervous system has been under strain for a long time — chronic pain, stress, burnout, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life.
My role is to create a space where the body can soften, the mind can settle, and the nervous system can begin to repair.
Everything I offer begins with the person in front of me.
At the end of the day, healing work is always about the person who has the courage to walk through the door and seek help.
If you need guidance or support, send me a message and we can chat.

Sometimes our minds become very full.

Full of thoughts, responsibilities, conversations replaying themselves, plans for tomorrow, worries about the future… and the quiet pressure we place on ourselves to hold everything together.

Over time this mental noise can become so normal that we don’t even realise how busy our inner world has become.

This is one of the reasons people come to me for an Access Bars session

Access Bars is a gentle hands-on energy process where I lightly touch 32 points on the head. Each point relates to different areas of life such as communication, creativity, money, control, joy, sadness, the body, and more.

Access Bars is like pressing the delete button on what no longer serves you.

It allows the mind and body to release mental and emotional clutter that has been building over time.

At worst a 1 hour session with me feels like a beautiful head massage.
At best, it can begin to change the way you experience your life.

If you’re curious about experiencing Access Bars, feel free to send me a message or book through the link in my bio

✨ All of life comes to me with ease, joy and glory ✨

If things have felt heavy lately, try this small reset:

🌿unclench your jaw
🌿drop your shoulders
🌿slow your exhale

Your nervous system responds to small moments of safety.
I’ve been reminded lately that healing isn’t about pushing through.
Sometimes it’s about staying in the present moment to allow your body to catch up with you.
Rest isn’t something we earn after exhaustion. It’s something we need before burnout arrives.
A small reminder today:
You don’t have to carry everything at once.

I’ve been a little quiet here lately.
I’ve taken a little time away recently to reset my nervous system.
Life asked me to slow down and take care of me for a while.
I allowed myself to do that without guilt.
I’m easing back in gently — noticing this space has grown even while I was resting.
Rest isn’t falling behind — sometimes it’s exactly what brings us back to ourselves.
If you’re new here, welcome
🤍 I’m really glad you found your way.
