Seva Reiki

What if the path meant for you was always quietly calling your name?

My journey with healing began long before Seva Reiki had a name. As a child growing up in Romania, I was always drawn to alternative healing, the wisdom of energy, and the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. Even then, I felt there was more available to us than simply surviving—I believed in true healing.
That calling stayed with me through every chapter of my life. From earning my master’s degree in social work to continuing my studies in Reiki, somatic healing, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, trauma work, and nervous system balance, every step brought me closer to the work my soul was meant to do.
Seva Reiki was born from my own story—my love for helping others, my belief in the body’s ability to heal, and my desire to create a safe, beautiful space where people can release pain, trauma, grief, stress, and reconnect with themselves.
This is not just my practice. This is my heart. This is my devotion. This is the sacred work I was called to offer.
Every person who walks through my doors is met with love, compassion, and the reminder that healing is possible.
I created Seva Reiki so you can remember the light that has always lived within you.

Grief often lives where the breath becomes shallow.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lung meridian is connected to grief, sadness, and our ability to let go. The lungs teach us the sacred rhythm of life: receive, soften, release. When loss, heartbreak, or unspoken sorrow stay in the body too long, they can settle into the chest, shoulders, arms, and breath, creating heaviness.
The movement in the video below is a gentle way to open the lung meridian, expand the chest, and invite grief to move instead of remain stuck. As you stretch through the inner arms, collarbones, and chest, imagine every breath creating space around what hurts.
✨ Inhale: make room for what is here
✨ Exhale: release what no longer needs to be held
✨ Repeat: soften, open, let go
Sometimes healing grief is not about forcing yourself to “move on.”
Sometimes it is simply about giving the body permission to breathe again.

Save this for the days your heart feels heavy.

Today marks 4 years without my baby, Dayo 💛

Four years since I last held you, kissed your tiny head, and felt the comfort of your presence. And yet… not a single day has gone by where you haven’t been with me.
Dayo, you were never “just a cat.”
You were my home.
My safe place.
My heart outside of my body.
My soul mate in the purest form.
There are still moments where I catch myself looking for you… in quiet rooms, in soft sunlight, in the spaces you used to fill so effortlessly. And sometimes the ache feels just as fresh as it did back then.
Grief is a strange, sacred thing.
It doesn’t mean you’re gone.
It means the love is still here.
They say grief is love with no place to go…
but I feel it differently today.
My love for you didn’t disappear.
It just had to change shape.
It lives in my memories, in my tears, in the way I still speak your name, in the way I still feel you around me.
And through loving you, and losing you, I’ve learned…
I’ve learned that love doesn’t end when a life does.
I’ve learned that grief isn’t something to “get over,” but something we learn to carry with tenderness.
I’ve learned that the depth of my pain reflects the depth of my love.
I’ve learned to slow down, to cherish the small moments, the quiet presence, the simple being together.
I’ve learned that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means remembering with more love than pain.
I’ve learned that our souls don’t separate the way our bodies do.
I’ve learned to sit with my heart, even when it hurts, and let it stay open anyway.
You were, and still are, the love of my life.
A once-in-a-lifetime kind of soul.
And I would choose you again and again, in every lifetime.
I miss you in ways words will never fully hold.
But I also carry you in ways that will never fade.
Forever my baby.
Forever my heart.
Forever my Dayo 💛

make sure you love you 🤍
not just on the good days,
not just when you feel strong,
not just when everything is flowing…
but on the quiet days,
the heavy days,
the days when you question everything.
love yourself when you're healing.
love yourself when you're growing.
love yourself when you're resting.
you are not something to fix.
you are someone to hold gently.
today, and every day—
make sure you love.

Square Breathing
In a world that moves fast, your breath can bring you back home.
Square breathing — also known as box breathing — is a simple yet powerful practice that invites balance into the body, mind, and nervous system. Equal parts inhale, hold, exhale, hold… like tracing the four sides of a square, gently guiding you into steadiness.
Benefits of square breathing: • Calms the nervous system
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Helps regulate emotions
• Improves focus and mental clarity
• Grounds you in the present moment
• Supports heart and lung health
This technique is especially beautiful when life feels overwhelming. It reminds you that you are safe, supported, and capable of returning to stillness — one breath at a time.
Try this: Inhale for 4
Hold for 4
Exhale for 4
Hold for 4
Repeat softly, without force, letting your body settle into its own rhythm.
You don’t need to rush healing.
You don’t need to do more.
You just need to breathe.

This is your reminder…
You don’t need a special occasion.
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need to “save it” for later.
Wear the outfit.
Be bold.
Take up space.
Feel beautiful in your own way.
Because the truth is…
✨ The occasion is YOU. ✨
This year, I’m choosing to show up for myself a little louder, a little brighter, a little more unapologetically.
And I hope you do too. 💖

Sometimes I sit with her… the younger version of me… the little girl who didn’t know how life would unfold, but dreamed anyway.
And I can feel it so deeply—she is so proud of me.
Proud of everything I’ve walked through.
Proud of everything I had to teach myself or learned from others.
Proud that I didn’t give up when things were hard, confusing, or uncertain.
I think about her often—standing in the fields back home in Romania, looking up at the sky, watching planes pass by… and whispering to herself, “One day I’m going to fly on a big, big plane far away.”
She didn’t know how.
She didn’t know when.
But she believed.
And somehow… that dream came true.
I made it across the world.
I built a life here in the United States.
A life filled with purpose, with healing, with connection.
A life where I get to hold space for others through Reiki, through presence, through heart.
A life that little me could have never fully imagined… but always felt was possible.
This is your Reiki practitioner.
This is me—built from dreams, resilience, courage, and so much love.
And today, I honor her.
Because she never stopped believing in a future she couldn’t yet see… but trusted enough to dream.
If you’re in a place where you’re still dreaming… keep going.
One day, you’ll look back—and realize you became everything you once wished for. ✨

Yesterday in therapy, I found myself sitting with a lot of tenderness… the kind that brings up questions about everything—my path, my purpose, my work, even my place in this world.
And right next to me was my cat, Cash. Calm. Warm. Present. Not trying to fix anything, not asking anything from me… just offering quiet, unconditional comfort.
And in that space, something clicked.
A mantra came through that felt like truth:
I was created for comfort.
Not to be perfect.
Not to have all the answers.
Not to constantly prove my worth or question if I’m doing enough.
But to comfort.
To hold space.
To bring softness into places that feel heavy, overwhelming, or uncertain.
Because when doubt shows up—and it does—I start to wonder…
Am I enough? Is this work meaningful? Am I really making a difference?
And now, I have something to come back to.
I was created for comfort.
Comfort is not small.
It’s not insignificant.
It’s not “less than.”
Comfort is medicine.
It’s presence.
It’s safety.
It’s the quiet energy that says, you don’t have to go through this alone.
It lives in the work I do.
In the way I show up for others.
In the spaces I hold… and the ones I’m still learning to hold for myself.
And maybe this message isn’t just for me.
Maybe we’re all here, in our own unique ways, to offer something gentle to this world.
So if you’re in a moment of doubt today…
If you’re questioning yourself, your purpose, your path…
Come back to something simple and true.
You don’t have to be everything.
You don’t have to do everything.
Sometimes your presence, your kindness, your softness…
is exactly what someone else needs.
I was created for comfort.
And that is enough. 💛

The Spring Equinox is here — a sacred moment of balance, where day and night meet as equals 🌿✨
Spiritually, this is a powerful invitation to realign.
To gently come back to yourself.
To release what feels heavy, outdated, or no longer in harmony with who you are becoming.
To plant new intentions with care, patience, and trust.
You may feel a shift inside…
A soft stirring of energy.
A desire to start fresh.
A call to step into the light a little more fully.
This is the season of renewal — not rushed, not forced… but natural, like the Earth awakening after rest.
What you can do during this time: • Create space — physically and emotionally
• Set intentions for what you want to grow
• Spend time in nature, letting it mirror your own rebirth
• Practice gratitude for how far you’ve come
• Honor both your light and your shadows
Let this be a gentle beginning.
You don’t have to bloom all at once.
Just begin 🌸

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti 🕊️
In many yogic and spiritual traditions, the chant Om Shanti Shanti Shanti is offered as a prayer for peace — within ourselves, around us, and throughout the world.
Om is the primordial sound, the vibration of creation, the sacred tone that connects us to the universe and to our highest self.
Shanti means peace.
And when we repeat it three times, it carries a deeper intention.
✨ The first Shanti is for peace within ourselves — calming the body, soothing the mind, and settling the heart.
✨ The second Shanti is for peace in our relationships and the world around us — harmony with others, compassion, and understanding.
✨ The third Shanti is for universal peace — releasing the obstacles we cannot see and inviting balance into all of existence.
When we chant Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, we are not only asking for peace…
we are becoming a vibration of peace.
Take a moment today.
Close your eyes.
Place your hand over your heart.
Chant softly or silently:
Om… Shanti… Shanti… Shanti…
And allow the waves of peace to move through you and into the world.
With love and peace .
Loredana
