The Reiki Lifestyle Podcast

This guided Reiki journey focuses on receiving as a fundamental force of creation. Receiving is a life force movement. It is part of how creation takes form, just as giving is. In this journey, you are invited to receive Reiki as a creative energy that moves through your body, your biofield, and your consciousness, supporting manifestation through alignment rather than effort. Through breath, Reiki energy, and the presence of enlightened beings and guides, you travel across the Bridge of Light into higher awareness and expanded perspective. In the illuminated realms, you receive color, light, and frequency that empower your intentions, your chakras, and the areas of life you are ready to manifest. This journey supports releasing blocks to receiving, remembering your connection to the universe, and allowing creation energy to flow into your life. You are invited to receive clarity, inspiration, timing, and next steps through listening and inner awareness. There is nothing to do in this journey except receive. You can return to this space anytime to reconnect with Reiki, creation energy, and your natural ability to receive.

This is part 3 of our Manifestation series. We discuss and explore how Reiki energy empowers our ability to receive and how receiving is a foundation of manifestation. Before action, before effort, before form, there is listening, inner awareness, and receptivity. Reiki supports this process by helping us receive clarity, timing, ideas, and alignment through the body, the mind, and the soul. This discussion continues our ongoing manifestation teachings from parts 1 & 2, beginning with Reiki and listening, intention, and the Burning Bowl Ceremony. Those discussions and journeys supported letting go of what no longer belongs on your path and recognizing the gifts and talents you are ready to bring forward. In this session, Colleen shares personal experiences from her Reiki and shamanic training, including how learning to receive transformed her spiritual path, her work, and her understanding of creation itself. Receiving is not passive. It is an active state of awareness that allows ideas, guidance, and practical next steps to arrive naturally. We also explore how receiving relates to timing, urgency, compassion, and daily life. Whether you have time for a full self-Reiki practice or need Reiki on the fly, receiving can happen in small moments throughout the day. Reiki supports you in listening to yourself, aligning with your own timing, and allowing manifestation to unfold through clarity rather than force. The accompanying Reiki journey guided by Robyn is truly beautiful. It helps you to release your blocks to receiving and, most of all, to empower your ability to receive. Be sure to listen to the next video to receive and open more fully to the areas of life you are ready to manifest.  Our free online Distance Reiki Share is part of our ongoing Reiki Lifestyle teachings and is offered to support clarity, empowerment, and conscious living through Reiki energy. Every Tuesday morning, 9:30-11am Pacific.  You can find our full library of Reiki teachings, journeys, podcasts, and blogs at www.reikilifestyle.com Thank you for being part of our global Reiki community and for exploring manifestation through receiving.

In this episode, Robyn and Colleen welcome Nita Mocanu, a beloved Reiki teacher based on the French Spanish border and a teacher Colleen studied with years ago. Nita shares his journey from classical musician to full time Reiki teacher, weaving together his life in Romania, Sweden, and France. The conversation explores the heart of Nita's Reiki practice, including Kotodama (the sacred sounds of the Reiki symbols), Reiju (Usui's original style of attunement), and how sound can bring spiritual clarity in just minutes, along with his monthly Full Moon distant Reiju offering that supports a global Reiki community through consistent practice and generosity. Episode Highlights ●    Nita's personal journey: musician, Reiki student, and now a Reiki teacher for 30 years, establishing Reiki community in France and around the world ●    How Reiki became a clear calling, and what helped him choose it fully ●    The surprising story of funding his Reiki training through a vegetable garden ●    Why Nita teaches Reiki as a coherent system and a way of life ●    Kotodama and Reiki, and why sound has a central place in spiritual practice ●    How to chant the Kotodama with awareness of breath, vibration, and voice placement ●    The felt experience of Kotodama, including crown and heart activation ●    Reiju explained, how Usui developed and practiced Reiki attunements  ●    Nita's Full Moon distant Reiju event, offered freely on his Facebook page, NitaReiki, each month for attuned practitioners worldwide ●    His annual Reiki Congress and resources, including group chanting recordings ●    Nita has published Tomita Kaiji's Reiki book in French. Find it on his website Key Concepts Mentioned Kotodama Nita explains about the origin of the Kotodama, a Reiki practice of sound that supports spiritual connection and energetic activation. He shares how the sound is not about volume, pitch, or speed. It is about vibration, breath, and placement of the voice so the sound becomes a living energetic experience. Reiju  Nita describes Reiju, the attunement practice of Usui sensei, that does not use symbols, touch, or blowing. It is simple, focused, and deeply felt. Nita also shares how he blends initiations and Reiju in his Reiki training to support student confidence and clarity. Full Moon Distant Reiju for Attuned Practitioners Nita offers a monthly distant Reiju during the Full Moon for practitioners who are already attuned, welcoming participants from any Reiki school or lineage. He shares that the event details and instructions are posted as a Facebook event each month.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What is Mouse Vision? Mouse Vision brings your inner awareness down to the level of daily life, and a grounded way of perceiving your life through detail, presence, and intuitive timing. Reiki reveals what matters now and how to move forward with clarity and steadiness. Mouse Vision is especially supportive when life feels full, attention feels scattered, or you sense movement but are unsure of timing.  Mouse Vision works hand in hand with Eagle Vision by translating expanded awareness into grounded action you can apply right away. This video covers: • How Mouse Vision brings clarity through detail and presence • Why grounded awareness is a form of intuition • How Reiki filters distraction and highlights what matters now • Recognizing patterns, timing, and resources already present • Understanding your next step through practical perception This is Part 3 of the Eagle Mouse Vision 5 week series. Each week builds on the last, guiding you from expanded awareness, into grounded clarity, and toward Inner Vision. Watch the next video in this series to continue into Inner Vision and integrate what you see from above with what you experience on the ground.

This Best of episode revisits one of our most meaningful conversations with Ann Linda Baldwin, PhD, a scientist, Reiki Master, and pioneer in mind-body research. Ann's work offers a clear explanation of how Reiki supports physiological balance, emotional wellbeing, and heart-centered awareness. Ann is a Professor Emerita of Physiology at the University of Arizona and Director of Mind-Body-Science. She holds advanced degrees in Physics and Physiology, is a HeartMath certified trainer, TRE provider, Bio-Well level 2 certified, and an Equine Assisted Learning practitioner. With over 125 scientific publications and decades of federal research funding, she bridges Reiki energy healing with measurable scientific outcomes. Ann's book, The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice, is a practical guide for understanding how the vagus nerve influences stress, resilience, and mind-body function. She explains how practices like Reiki, breathwork, and heart coherence naturally support vagal regulation. Her work helps practitioners understand why Reiki often brings deep calm, improved emotional clarity, and a sense of connection.

If you have been sensing movement in your life without a clear view of where it is leading, Eagle Vision offers the clarity you have been waiting for. In this discussion we explore how Reiki lifts your awareness into a higher perspective where direction, timing, purpose, and the next step become easier to understand. This session opens Week 2 of our five week Eagle Mouse Vision series and prepares you for the Eagle Vision Guided Journey that will be released in the next video. Eagle Vision expands perception so you can see the wider landscape of your life. From this view you recognize themes, patterns, strengths, and long range opportunities that are not visible from the ground. Reiki supports this shift by lifting your consciousness through the Reiki symbols and the Bridge of Light and revealing the soul level movement taking place in your path. In this teaching we explore: • How expanded perception creates clarity • What higher awareness reveals about purpose and timing • How Reiki shows the patterns shaping your journey • Why Eagle Vision helps you make steady, aligned decisions • The role of blessing energy, personal perspective, and intuition • How to identify the questions you did not know to ask You will also learn awareness practices you can use throughout your week to stay connected to higher perception, including ways to view your life from above, how to sense momentum, and how Reiki illuminates the direction that feels supported. The Eagle Vision Guided Journey will be in the next YouTube video. The journey lifts your awareness into the eagle's realm through the Bridge of Light so you can see your path behind, around, and ahead with clarity and spaciousness.

This week's conversation opens a gateway into the deeper roots of Reiki. Kenloch Cheung joins us again to share stories from Hong Kong, Australia, and Mount Kurama, along with his remarkable insights into the origins and meaning of the Usui DKM. This episode offers a rare blend of history, philosophy, and lived experience. In this inspiring conversation, Colleen and Robyn welcome back Reiki teacher and ICRT Licensed Reiki Master Teacher, Kenloch Cheung, joining us from Melbourne after his recent move from Hong Kong. Kenloch bridges Eastern and Western Reiki communities with fluency in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and his teaching reflects a blend of technique, spiritual understanding, and practical everyday Reiki. We explore what it has been like for Kenloch to relocate to Australia, where Reiki is widely recognized and integrated into daily wellness culture. He shares heartwarming stories about meeting Reiki-aware strangers on mountains in Switzerland, having conversations with immigration officers about Reiki, and settling into a new rhythm of life shaped by self-care, peace, and personal health. The highlight of this episode is Kenloch's detailed teaching on DKM, including: The historical and cultural origins of the symbol Insights from Mount Kurama's prayer to Sonten How the kanji themselves illuminate the DKM deeper meaning The relationship between the symbol, the sun, the moon, and the earth Connections with universal laws, duality, spiritual understanding, and enlightenment Colleen and Robyn share their own experiences with DKM as Reiki practitioners and teachers, including its role in healing belonging, unity, and the alignment of spiritual and human selves. Together, they weave modern Reiki practice with ancient context, bringing new understanding to DKM symbol and its relevance today. Kenloch also speaks about hosting William Rand in Hong Kong, teaching multilingual classes, and his plans for English-language courses in Australia. His joy for community, sharing Reiki, and living a grounded, healthy life shines throughout this conversation.
