Plugging into the Universal Current: How a Dead EV Battery Revealed the Flow of Reiki Energy

There is a very specific kind of panic that sets in when your dashboard hits zero for the first time. Even with all my years as a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and Reiki Master—knowing deeply how to regulate a nervous system and ground energy in crisis—the mother in me took over. Fear gripped my chest: How am I going to get my children home safely?

In that moments of raw vulnerability, the universe met me with an absolute masterclass in sisterhood.

Two women appeared out of nowhere, stepping into the chaotic atmosphere like steady anchors. The divine timing was undeniable: one of them drove the exact same electric SUV as me and walked me through the actual mechanics of using the charging pump. The other immediately jumped in to help me download the app, navigate the setup, and sign up for the membership right on the spot.

While I called on every tool in my repertoire—breathwork, subtle energy alignment, and intentional self-soothing—it was their grounding presence that bridged the gap between panic and peace.

That experience was a profound testament to the unspoken power of female energy. There is a quiet, sacred strength when women see a mother in distress and step in without hesitation. It wasn't just about plugging in a cord; it was an intuitive exchange of support, an alignment of minds and hearts working together to turn a terrifying moment into one of pure relief.

My car got the charge it needed, but my heart got something much bigger: a beautiful reminder that even when our own well runs dry, the power of collective female energy is always there to help carry us back home.
