The Deeper I Went, The Lonelier It Got
In this "Hot Takes" episode, Robyn and Colleen dive into trending spiritual dilemmas from the Reddit Reiki community. They explore the common experience of feeling isolated after a spiritual awakening, the intense "WTF" energy of the current global shift, and the nuances of using Reiki alongside therapy. They also tackle a complex listener story about "soul-tie" relationships and the importance of practitioner ethics, discernment, and maintaining your own inner authority when receiving spiritual messages. In This Episode, You Will Learn: • Discover why spiritual awakenings can lead to a temporary phase of loneliness and how to find your "new" community. • Master the use of Reiki symbols as "frequency regulators" to stay grounded in chaotic social or global environments. • Explore the intersection of Reiki and how to support your nervous system during deep trauma processing. • Identify the signs of "giving your power away" to spiritual practitioners and how to reclaim your inner authority. • Understand the difference between a "soulmate" connection and a healthy life partnership, and when it is time to release energetic cords. Mentioned in this Episode: • Books: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. • Reiki Symbols: The Power Symbol (Cho Ku Rei), Zonar, Halu, Hearth (Karuna Reiki®), and the Animal Reiki Symbol. • Concepts: The "Witch Wound," Epigenetics, and Soul Coherence. • Guests Referenced: Michaela Daystar (Trauma-Informed Reiki) and Dr. Jennifer Lisa Best (The Ethical Psychic).

Reiki Hot Takes: Navigating Spiritual Loneliness, Global Shifts, and Relationship Soul-Ties
Colleen Benelli shares a moment from a shamanic journey where she expected the animals to judge humanity — and received the opposite message entirely. The teaching was disarmingly simple: love yourself as much as we love you. Because the belief you hold about yourself — whether it's extraordinary or destructive — is the one you create from. It's the kind of message that sounds obvious until you realize how rarely you actually live it. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. One of its core gifts is helping you reconnect with self-compassion — not as an idea, but as a felt experience. The same shift the animals described in this clip is what many students report after their first Reiki session: the quiet realization that they've been creating from the wrong belief about themselves. 🔥 Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certifications Taught by Colleen Benelli — one of only ~40 Licensed Reiki Master Teachers in the world | ICRT Co-Director | 35+ years | 10,000+ students No experience needed.

If Animals Could Teach You ONE Thing — This Is What They'd Say | Reiki Lifestyle Podcast
Colleen Benelli and her co-authors received something unexpected while writing the Animal Reiki attunement. They planned to take their place in the circle of life and place a blessing on the animals. The animals had a different idea. "That's still you being the dominant." Instead of accepting a one-way blessing, the animals asked for an equal exchange — their blessing for ours, no hierarchy. You belong here. You're part of the earth. You're extraordinary. That correction rewrote the entire ceremony. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Animal Reiki takes that a step further — it's not about healing animals from a position of authority. It's about entering into communion with them as equals in the circle of life. That shift from blessing to exchange is what makes this practice different. 🔥 Animal Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certification — May 2 - 3 🔥 Animal Reiki Master Certification — May 4 - 6 🔥 Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certification — June 27 - 28 🔥 Reiki Master Certification — June 17 - 19 Taught by Colleen Benelli — one of only ~40 Licensed Reiki Master Teachers in the world | ICRT Co-Director | 35+ years | 10,000+ students No experience needed.

The Animals Corrected Us Mid-Ceremony | Colleen Benelli
Colleen Benelli wasn't having it — even in 5th grade. When a Sunday school teacher told the class that animals don't have souls, young Colleen had one answer: "I'm never going to your heaven then." Some things you just know in your bones, even as a kid. That instinct to push back when something doesn't feel true — that's worth listening to. And that same instinct eventually led Colleen to Reiki, to shamanic training, and to co-writing the Animal Reiki course used around the world today. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Animal Reiki takes that connection deeper — restoring our place in the circle of life with the animals and the earth.

Part 2: Brett Bevell. Ultra-Psychic Reiki for Healing with the Rainbow Sphere
William Rand tells the story of how Takata first encountered Reiki — lying on a treatment table, feeling intense heat and vibration from the practitioners' hands, completely convinced they were using some kind of medical device. She couldn't see their hands under the big kimono sleeves. The sensation was so strong she started looking around the room, then grabbed their sleeves demanding to know where the equipment was hidden. When Hayashi walked in laughing and told her there was no equipment — that this was something called Reiki — she had never even heard the word before. But she was feeling better. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Takata's first experience captures what so many people feel when they encounter Reiki for the first time — something powerful is happening, and it doesn't fit into any category they already know. 🔥 Animal Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certification — May 2 - 3 🔥 Animal Reiki Master Certification — May 4 - 6 🔥 Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certification — June 27 - 28 🔥 Reiki Master Certification — June 17 - 19 Taught by Colleen Benelli — one of only ~40 Licensed Reiki Master Teachers in the world | ICRT Co-Director | 35+ years | 10,000+ students No experience needed.

Wait… Where's the Equipment? | William Rand on Reiki Lifestyle Podcast
Colleen Benelli on why taking care of yourself right now isn't selfish — it's activism. When everything feels out of your control, the most radical thing you can do is take care of yourself. Not as an escape, not as bypassing — but as a deliberate choice to hold a higher frequency when the world needs it most. Moving forward in your life, choosing peace, choosing to show up — that counts. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing.

Self-Care Is a Form of Activism | Reiki Lifestyle Podcast
Robyn Benelli on why one person holding peace might feel small — but when everyone does it together, it becomes something unbreakable. When things feel out of your control, it's easy to wonder whether your individual effort even matters. But one thread of peace, one person embodying that frequency, adds to a collective force that holds real power. You're not doing it alone — and that's the point. 🎙️ From the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Colleen and Robyn Benelli Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/@Reikilifestyle Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing.
