| Ep. – 37 Embodied Awareness: Lessons from Martial Arts & Reiki

Welcome to the Lightworker Podcast – Stories of Awakening.

🎙️ Hosted by Natalie Ubl Grant

This is a space where heart-led conversations unfold, sharing real and raw journeys of spiritual awakening, transformation, and stepping into purpose. Each episode is an invitation to remember who you are, connect with your inner light, and be inspired by the stories of others walking the path of soul alignment.

🌟 In this casual yet deeply insightful conversation, we explore the powerful parallels between martial arts and Reiki, and how both paths guide us back to embodied awareness, discipline, and self-mastery. From the journey to black belt to the inner work of energy healing, this episode unpacks how true growth comes not from achieving a level—but from the dedication to practice, presence, and facing your fears.

We dive into the importance of foundations, the role of ego, and the transformative power of becoming your own teacher. Through stories of training, teaching and personal breakthroughs, this conversation highlights how both martial arts and Reiki cultivate confidence, clarity, and a deeper connection to self.

Natalie has trained for 11 years in Tang Soo Tao, a martial arts style developed by Kwan Jang Nim Robert Caputo. This School has been running in Australia for over 50 years. Beginning in Darwin it has spread across Australia, with schools in Melbourne, Geelong, Maroochydore and Darwin. The legacy is continued by the many teachers that share the wisdom handed down from teacher to student to this day.

If you’ve ever wondered how physical discipline and spiritual practice intertwine—or you’re walking your own path of awakening—this episode will leave you reflecting on where you’re being called to show up, practice, and evolve.
