Reiki and Shamanism: How They are Different and How They Can Be Combined
08/07/2025
Reiki and Shamanism: How They are Different and How They Can Be Combined
In this episode of the Reiki Lifestyle® Podcast, Colleen Benelli shares the first of a 4-part series exploring Reiki and Shamanism, how they are different, how they overlap, and how they work together. Colleen takes you through her personal story of how she trained in Core Shamanism and then discovered Reiki. You'll hear how these two spiritual paths converged in her life, and how she now teaches integrated Reiki journey techniques using the Bridge of Light (HSZSN) instead of drums or rattles to access spiritual realms like the Third Heaven, River of Life, and Field of Possibilities. Highlights from this episode: * Colleen’s shamanic roots and global training with Indigenous teachers * How Reiki came into her life through her horse’s guidance * The differences between Reiki and Shamanism * How Reiki journeys use symbols, spiritual light, and divine guidance * Integrating Reiki with soul retrieval, spirit release, past life healing, and more * The Spirit Reveal Technique™ and how Reiki heals the soul’s history * Respecting traditions and honoring when Reiki is or isn’t invited into ceremonies Colleen also talks about the real-life challenges of traditional shamanic practices like sweat lodges and vision quests—and how Reiki offers a gentler yet equally powerful way to do spiritual healing and soul work. This series will continue over the next 3 weeks. Future episodes will dive deeper into: * Reiki journey techniques and how they differ from shamanic journeys * Spirit guides, power animals, and spiritual locations in the Third Heaven * Combining Reiki symbols with shamanic practices * How to use Reiki in ceremonies and soul-level healing If you're wondering how Reiki and Shamanism can complement each other, or if you're already integrating them, this discussion will help you clarify your own path and practice.

Guest: Justin B. Stein, PhD | Author and Scholar

Guest: Justin B. Stein, PhD | Author and Scholar
Have you ever wondered what hidden gems still lie waiting in Reiki’s past? This week on the Reiki Lifestyle podcast, we’re diving into discoveries that bring fresh light, and new excitement, to our understanding of Reiki’s origins. We’re thrilled to explore Reiki and the Benevolent Art of Healing by Tomita Kaiji, a historic text recently edited by Dr. Justin Stein. This remarkable work offers rare insights into how early Tomita Kaiji saw healing as an art woven with kindness and compassion. His story shares his life experience with healing others with Reiki energy. Even more intriguing, we’ll talk about an incredible find by researcher Min Wang: the Usui Sensei CV and Resume uncovered in Taiwan. This document reveals new details about Mikao Usui’s life and career that many of us have never seen before. It’s a glimpse into the personal story of Reiki’s founder that could reshape how we understand our practice today. Our guest, Dr. Justin Stein, brings unmatched expertise and enthusiasm to this conversation. Justin earned his PhD from the University of Toronto in the Study of Religion and is a leading scholar of Japanese spiritual and religious traditions. He serves as Chair of the Asian Studies Program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. His book, Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific, now published by University of Hawaii Press, explores how Reiki evolved through transnational exchanges between Japan and the United States from the 1920s to the 1970s. His work has appeared in respected journals such as Japanese Religions and Asian Medicine, and he co-edited The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Medicine, and Health. Justin’s depth of knowledge, paired with his genuine love for Reiki history, made this episode such a joy to record—and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Whether you’re an experienced Reiki practitioner or simply curious about where this beautiful practice began, you’ll come away inspired and fascinated by these new chapters in Reiki’s unfolding story. Join us for this eye-opening conversation and discover the hidden treasures of Reiki’s past. Listen now!

A Guided Reiki Journey to Reveal Your Vision as a Practitioner
What is your vision for your Reiki practice? In this powerful guided Reiki journey, Colleen Benelli leads you across the Bridge of Light to the Field of Possibilities, where you receive divine wisdom from the Tree of Wisdom. This journey helps you listen deeply to your inner guidance and write down your next steps as a Reiki practitioner. Whether you’re newly trained or have been walking the Reiki path for years, this experience reconnects you to your why, your spiritual guidance, and your practical direction. It includes the light of Reiki, the divine heart and mind, and support from the enlightened ones, all flowing through your breath and body.

(Consider one week, one month, six months, one year, three years, five years, ten years, someday.) * What are your resources? * What are your actions? These questions are part of the greater Reiki Lifestyle teaching on energy healing for everyday life, helping you live your spiritual practice in real, grounded ways. This journey is ideal for journaling, practitioner development, class support, or anytime you feel called to reconnect to your purpose.
