Warm Introductions 02: Kimia Madani

Dear Reader, I’d like to introduce to you a very special human being and Soul.

Kimia is one of the best practitioners/healers I’ve ever worked with - and I highly recommend you book a session with her.

I met her through Captolia’s Witch and Famous program (I met MANY wonderful people there - another recommendation if you want to network!!). We did a session exchange - I coached her, and she did Reiki for me, both via Zoom.

I had no idea what to expect with Reiki. I was curious and skeptical, because it seemed….fake. I was expecting a nice hour of guided meditation, basically. But as soon as I said “yes” to receiving the energy, I felt a strong buzzing on the left side of my head. I saw colors - light blue, I remember specifically. And that night, I received a channeled message for the first time in my life. Oh, and my chronic neck pain disappeared for a few weeks.

Everyone’s experience with Reiki is different, so I don’t want to get your hopes up for colors and messages. But if you’re at all curious and interested in this kind of work….just do it!! Just book!

Anyway, a few months ago I emailed Kimia a bunch of questions to answer. She graciously obliged and NOW you can learn all about her in her own words! (There is a cheeky discount code somewhere in there, too 😇)

I recommend her to everyone, anyway, so I thought we’d make it “official” here on the internet 😂

Thanks for reading and thank you Kimia, for a great session this morning ♡

Hi Kimia ♡ who are you and what do you do?

Hii Anna. I’m a nomadic writer, multidimensional healer, energy witch, and what I like to call intuitive creativity guide. Above all I’m a multipassionate, “kaleidoscopic” artist—I think of all these things as my body of work, and this body of work is in active sacred disruption of a status quo that not only doesn’t want me to speak my truth but doesn’t want me to exist. I’m Iranian American and as such I’ve always felt I move between cultures and identities. It makes sense, then, that I move between realms in my healing work and spiritual practices.

I practice what I call Energy Witchery, with a foundation in magick and Reiki healing and special focus on ancestral healing and past lifetime healing.

I help my people

• remember and strengthen their intuitive gifts (and connect more deeply with their spirit teams),

• liberate themselves from shitty jobs, misaligned friends or partners, and more

• and go feral in all the right ways—like in the direction of their dreams.

If it sounds like a lot, it is. The amazing thing about the work I do with clients, though, is that each session and/or container is different—tailored to each of your needs.

It is always so interesting to see what arises in sessions, because you may show up knowing you need to cleanse and protect your energy and set better boundaries with energy vampires in your life, and we’ll absolutely do that. But what may also come through is the mother wound, and needing to clear the energetic residue of a past lifetime where you and your mother had an even more toxic dynamic than you do in this lifetime, so that you can forgive and move forward.

Generational patterns can extend beyond our current lifetime into others, you see? Just one example—there are countless others, and I could talk about past lifetimes alone for hours, as I know Anna knows!

I’m especially passionate about helping women and femmes break free of the shackles of toxic partnerships (that energy can stay in your field for SO long and actively hinder your healing in surprising ways), as well as heal conditions like PMDD, break generational cycles, and channel their sacred rage for the greater good. It’s time for us to choose our sovereignty, energetic and otherwise. This world needs us!

What parts of your past are most meaningful to you?

The most powerful thing I’ve ever healed in myself is my PMDD. If you’re not familiar, PMDD is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, a severe form of PMS to the point of extreme irritability and anger, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and even suicidal ideation.

Yet many of us never receive a diagnosis, and awareness is next to nonexistent unless you have it or know someone who does, because it’s diminished in Western medicine as a women’s health issue, or relegated to, “Oh, it’s just PMS.”

My PMDD was irrevocably linked to my journey of ancestral healing.

Since I got my moon when I was twelve years old, I only felt “normal” for about a week out of the month, and the rest of the time it was either dreading the emotional chaos, or having to deal with the repercussions. It’s definitely heavy, and I thought I’d have to “deal” with it my entire life.

Enter Energy Work and plant medicine. I embarked on immense healing work with my Reiki master teacher, with whom I studied to become a Reiki Master in Peru’s Sacred Valley (Peru is also where I launched my healing business! It’s very special to me). With Reiki, the medicines of Ayahuasca, Rose, cacao, and others, and the help of my teacher, I learned that my PMDD was actually caused by an ancestral entity.

Now, a negative entity is a malevolent being—a spirit or energy—that can attach onto you and feed on fear and other negative emotions you’re experiencing. The presence of a negative entity can result in all kinds of misfortune—from experiencing bad luck or strange physical “accidents” to intense mood swings and personality shifts.

Ancestral entities differ in that they form and grow in family groups and through intergenerational patterns of suffering and emotions that are not resolved or expressed.

The one I experienced had been compounding over lifetimes—generation after generation—of women in my lineage not being able to express, much less heal and integrate, their sadness, grief, anger, and pain. I’m Persian. Let’s just say there was a lot of tragedy.

Every single month, my body was attempting to eject that entity from my field—resulting in my PMDD. When I broke that cycle, I healed it. And now I get to help spread awareness and help people heal theirs.

When I say I help you choose energetic sovereignty, this is part of what I mean—keeping your energy field clear of negative influences you may not even be aware of (as I wasn’t for years when it came to my PMDD), but that are certainly having an effect on your life!

What parts of your future are most meaningful to you?

Creating a better, more just world for all beings is everything to me. Being a part of that co-creation is the crux of why I do what I do, and how I choose to show up for and with my body of work.

To continue from above, they say the effect of ancestral healing ripples seven generations back, AND seven generations forward. And it’s the same with past lifetime regression. It’s not just about seeing into the past and understanding more about your own personal lore (though it is that too!), but also about bringing forward gifts your Soul deemed vital enough to carry through more than one lifetime.

Humans don’t always do a great job at learning from the mistakes of our pasts, much less history, but I believe this work can be an antidote to that failing in some ways. We do get to learn, we do get to heal, we do get to choose to upend cycles and change the future for the better of all involved.

What do you spend the most time thinking about?

Energy healing (of course), the quantum field and manifestation, the occult arts, mythology, literature, writing, travel, and my style of “slowmading”. I’m a full-time nomad, and I love the freedom of moving from place to place and getting to go to the places in the world I’ve always dreamed of!

I live my life in co-creation with my spirit team, my benevolent ancestors, the beloved deities I work with (I’m a devotee of chthonic deities such as Persephone, Hekate, Hades, and others), and the spirits of the land, so I am always in conversation with my guides and these beings. I also regularly commune with the spirits of the earth and land wherever I go, and it is such potent practice for living more deeply in devotion to my magick.

How can people get a taste of your magic? How can they work with you?

Point us to something worth doing, reading, listening, or watching! :-) (book recommendations, music recs, how-to video, anything really. Just a place to recommend!)

I recently read R. F. Kwuang’s Katabasis and loved it. I first picked it up in a Scottish bookstore and couldn’t put it down! The word “Katabasis”, from the Greek word for "descent", refers to the mythological hero’s descent into the Underworld. This one follows two Cambridge student magicians who decide to go to hell (and try to claw their way back) to procure covetous letters of recommendation from their advisor after his untimely death. It’s got everything I love in a novel: dark academia, fantasy, unlikable female protagonist, gorgeous lyrical writing, and chthonic misadventures. A must-read if you, too, are obsessed with all of the above, and if you do plenty of your own Underworld journeying, as I do.
