Reiki Journey to Reveal Your Intuitive Gifts | Guided Meditation for Imagination, Intuition & Clair Senses 09/04/2025

Reiki Journey to Reveal Your Intuitive Gifts | Guided Meditation for Imagination, Intuition & Clair Senses Do you ever wonder if your intuition is real—or if you’re making it up? In this guided Reiki journey, you’ll experience how Reiki reveals your natural intuitive gifts and helps you trust them. We begin with the red rubber ball exercise to notice how your inner senses work. Then Reiki takes you across the Bridge of Light, where you hear the water flowing below and walk through colors of healing light. At the River of Life, Reiki washes away the worries of the world. In the Field of Possibilities, you receive imagination, curiosity, intuition, and childlike wonder as your authentic intellect awakens. This Reiki meditation is designed to: Strengthen your clair senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance) Heal blocks that keep you from trusting your inner knowing Open your imagination as a sense for spiritual awareness Help you listen to your intuition with confidence Your spiritual guides are with you throughout this journey. Notice how you perceive them, ask questions about your intuition, and return across the Bridge of Light with clarity. At the end, you’ll be guided to ask yourself: What is my next step? Whether you are new to Reiki or deepening your practice, this meditation will help you experience Reiki as a safe and grounded way to open your intuitive gifts.

How Reiki Reveals Your Intuition, Clairsenses, and Discernment 09/04/2025

How Reiki Reveals Your Intuition, Clairsenses, and Discernment Reiki awakens intuition and helps you trust your inner guidance in both subtle and profound ways. In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen and Robyn explore how Reiki opens the clairsenses, expands the heart light, and teaches discernment so you can recognize your unique intuitive style. Reiki shows us that everyone has intuitive ability. Some may see images, others feel sensations, hear words, or simply know. These differences are natural, and Reiki helps you discover and strengthen your own way of receiving guidance. Reiki heals the blocks that may hide the power of your intuition from you. The Reiki energy provides the frequency that allows intuitive impressions to grow stronger, and over time you learn to trust them in daily life. In this video you’ll learn: * How Reiki activates intuition through your whole body. * Reiki entrains your head brain, heart brain and gut brain to your higher consciousness * Simple ways to notice whether your intuition comes through sight, sound, feeling, or knowing * How to recognize your clair senses without comparison or judgment * Practical discernment tips to observe energy rather than absorb it Robyn and Colleen were recently at that Sedona Reiki retreat and shared their experiences with the extra-ordinary beauty of Sedona, through the red rocks, sage green plant life, Juniper trees and the nature of the land and how Reiki entrains you to higher frequencies wherever you are, whether in nature, at home, or in your everyday routines.

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 07/14/2025

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.
