Online Reiki Community Q&A | January 2026
This guided Reiki journey supports deep listening, inner awareness, and clarity around what you want to manifest in your life. Through Reiki energy, breath, and conscious awareness, you are guided into a state of receiving where your heart, mind, body, and spirit come into alignment. This journey invites you to release the noise of the external world, heal the reasons listening may have felt difficult, and reconnect with your inner truth. You will be guided through the Bridge of Light into the enlightened realms, resting at the River of Life and entering the heart of the Tree of Life. From this place of balance and coherence, you are invited to listen for your values, your intentions, and what wants to be created in your lived reality. This Reiki journey is part of our Manifestation with Reiki series and is designed to help you listen beyond the thinking mind, trust your inner authority, and receive guidance for your path forward. In this journey, you will experience: * Receiving Reiki for deep listening and inner clarity * Healing blocks that make it difficult to hear yourself * Connecting with the River of Life and the Tree of Life * Listening for values, intentions, and what you want to manifest * Trusting your ability to listen and move forward with awareness This recording is offered as part of our free Distance Reiki Share and can be experienced as often as you like.

Reiki Journey for Manifestation: Clarity, Intention, and Inner Guidance
Manifestation begins with listening, not effort. In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen and Robyn explore manifestation through Reiki awareness, inner authority, and soul coherence. This discussion focuses on how Reiki reveals intentions, how soul history influences what we want to create, and why manifestation works differently for each person. Rather than following a single method or mindset, Reiki supports deep listening, conscious choice, and alignment with your natural way of manifesting. We talk about intention-setting, letting go, action, timing, and how connecting with your future self through Reiki consciousness can help illuminate the path forward. This session is the foundation of our Manifestation with Reiki series and prepares you for the guided Reiki journey that follows. Topics explored in this discussion include: * Manifestation through Reiki listening and awareness * Inner authority and honoring your natural manifestation style * Soul coherence, frequency, and soul history * Human needs, deeper values, and conscious intention Action, cycles, and timing in manifestation * Connecting with the future self through Reiki consciousness This recording is part of our free Distance Reiki Share series and is offered for personal practice, reflection, and Reiki education.

Manifestation with Reiki: Listen to Your Inner Authority,  Soul Coherence, and Intention
How do we create Reiki spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported? This week, Colleen and Robyn welcome Michaela Daystar, founder of Heartscapes Insight, Reiki teacher, SoulCollage facilitator, trauma-informed practitioner, and co-host of the Reiki Women Podcast, for a deep and thoughtful conversation about healing, personal transformation, and the skill of holding space with integrity. Michaela shares her powerful story of moving from university-level social justice leadership to a full-time Reiki and SoulCollage practice, describing how her own life transitions opened the doorway to energy work, intuitive healing, and a trauma-informed understanding of care. Her insights offer a grounded and compassionate perspective on how Reiki practitioners can build trust with their clients, communicate clearly, and create containers that invite empowerment rather than pressure. This episode also explores: • What trauma-informed Reiki looks like in real practice Consent, choice, language, scope of practice, and why a safe container protects both practitioner and client. • The difference between trauma-informed care and trauma treatment How Reiki fits into integrative healing and why it is essential to understand practitioner scope of practice. • The role of self-practice in becoming a confident practitioner Why our own inner work supports the safety of our clients. • How SoulCollage works and why it is such a powerful tool Michaela explains how images and intuition reveal inner wisdom, and Colleen and Robyn share personal stories of life-changing cards. • The Reiki Women Podcast and the importance of women’s voices in Reiki How Michaela and her colleagues explore Japanese origins of the system, cultural dynamics, and current events through a Reiki lens. • The Cultivating a Trauma-Informed Reiki Practice course Michaela describes her 10-principle framework for Reiki practitioners and teachers who want to deepen their skills and create safer, more intentional spaces. She also extends a continuing coupon for Reiki Lifestyle listeners. Throughout the conversation, you’ll hear practical guidance, heartfelt storytelling, and thoughtful insights about the evolving role of Reiki in today’s world. Michaela’s clarity and compassion offer valuable wisdom for practitioners, teachers, and anyone interested in healing work.

Feeling Unclear? Choose Your Path Forward with this Guided Reiki Journey
Activate Reiki, life into the heightened perspective of Eagle vision, the details of Mouse vision, and your Inner vision to choose your path forward. Reiki helps you perceive the bigger picture, understand what is directly in front of you, and listen to your inner guidance so direction, timing, and next steps become clear. This session completes our 5 part Eagle Mouse Vision series. Throughout the weeks, we worked with the Blessing Exchange, Eagle Vision, Mouse Vision, and Inner Vision. In this final week, we integrate all three perspectives to support conscious choice and clear direction. This approach reflects real life. You are a human living in a human world, and Reiki supports clarity without bypassing practical realities. Sometimes the vision will be clear; other times it seems elusive. Reiki energy heightens your higher thought so you can walk your path consciously.   This session can be used at the end of the year, during seasonal transitions, or anytime you are navigating change, beginnings, or endings. These Reiki skills are tools you can return to whenever you need clarity and direction.

A Year-End Conversation with Colleen and Robyn Benelli
In this Distance Reiki Share discussion, Colleen and Robyn Benelli explore Inner Vision as part of the Eagle Mouse Vision five week series. Inner Vision is the perspective that brings awareness inward, where intuition, instinct, imagination, and personal truth live. This conversation focuses on how Reiki helps you hear yourself clearly and perceive your path from within. We explain how Eagle Vision offers a wide view of your life, Mouse Vision brings attention to immediate details, and Inner Vision integrates both by guiding you into the Sanctuary of the Soul. Through Reiki, the Bridge of Light takes awareness inward, unifying the external and internal sources of spiritual insight. Inner Vision reveals gifts, talents, and qualities that have developed across your life and helps you understand what you want to carry forward into new beginnings. This discussion includes reflections on • How Reiki supports inner guidance • The Sanctuary of the Soul as an inner realm of awareness • The role of intuition, instinct, and imagination • The clair senses and how intuition is perceived • Listening to yourself at spiritual, emotional, and practical levels • Understanding life cycles, completions, and new beginnings • Perceiving your path behind you, around you, and ahead of you • Integrating spiritual insight with daily life and practical realities We share how Reiki creates alignment between higher consciousness, heart awareness, gut knowing, and logical thought so that guidance becomes practical and usable in everyday life. Inner Vision is not about effort. It is about listening, receiving, and allowing clarity to emerge naturally. This recording prepares participants for the Inner Vision Reiki journey, which is offered in the following video. Together, the discussion and journey support deeper self awareness, discernment, and confidence in your own guidance. * Distance Reiki Shares,  * Reiki classes,   * Next Step and Explore the 12 Heavens  Registration ends Jan. 18th!  * ReikiLifestyle.com. **DISCLAIMER** This episode is not a substitute for seeking professional medical care but is offered for relaxation and stress reduction which support the body’s natural healing capabilities.
