Meet Gianantonio Luigi | Second‑Generation Energy Healer, Coach for Self‑Leadership, Reiki Master & Teacher
Gianantonio Luigi Corna.
As the founder of BeMindful 24/7®, I’ve spent 25+ years weaving a family lineage of energy healing with Buddhist practice and modern nervous‑system science to help people feel safe in their bodies again.
Re-establishing my practice in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles has been exhilarating after concluding my work in NYC in 2018 (where even Goop and Elle Magazine were fans).
A Second‑Generation Lineage:
I was raised in a home where energy work was ordinary. As a second‑generation energy healer, my earliest training was at my father’s side. That childhood insight—that touch can be a pathway to safety—has guided everything I offer today.
Apprenticeship & Study:
As a teenager, I craved methods that could honor what I felt in my hands. That search led me to Buddhist mindfulness and long‑term study with Tibetan Lamas, where I learned the Medicine Buddha (Sange Menla) practice. I trained extensively in Reiki (ultimately as Master & Teacher), explored IFS parts work and neuroscience‑guided somatic tools (Polyvagal perspective, breath pacing, Self‑Havening, Play Zone Pro), and wrote an Italian book, Dancing with the Energy, to share what healing felt like from the inside.
A Pivotal Teacher: Love:
Beyond schools and certificates, my deepest growth came through love. Relationship taught me to listen within, to embody what I teach, and to meet every protector part with dignity. That lesson--presence first, then technique—is the spine of my practice.
Today: Somatic Reiki Flo:
I developed Somatic Reiki Flo as a consent‑led, table‑based way to let the body relearn safety through attuned touch, somatic breath pacing, mindfulness, and parts‑aware language. As parts sense the qualities of Self—spaciousness, compassion, clarity—they soften their protective grip. In stillness, emotional charge can de‑link from activated memories so your system can update gently over time.
Legacy & Orientation:
My work continually returns to the Medicine Buddha — Sange Menla—and to the simple faith of an eight‑year‑old: healing begins when we feel safe enough to feel.
Commitment to the Community
My practice is about fostering personal growth and creating a safe space where individuals, especially gay and queer men, can explore and affirm their identities. I strive to offer healing and empowering support, providing tools that encourage resilience and self-acceptance.
