Reikichat | A Reiki Lifestyle Podcast

Step into a guided Reiki journey with Colleen Benelli that carries you up the sacred pathways of Mt. Kurama, the mountain where Usui Sensei received the gift of Reiki. This experience invites you to walk through the gate of the Kurama Dera Temple, move past ancient shrines, and feel the presence of the enlightened spirits who have watched over this land for centuries. As you travel the mountain trail, the sounds of children laughing drift in the distance. A gentle breeze moves through the trees, and the roots of the old cedars rise around you like living guardians. Reiki flows through your hands as you sit among the roots and allow the spiritual energy of Mt. Kurama to rise around you. This journey opens a space to receive the light that has guided Reiki practitioners for generations. This guided meditation is created for Reiki practitioners, students, and anyone drawn to the spiritual origins of Reiki. It supports intuition, inner awareness, and a deeper connection to the source of Reiki energy. What you wil

This week on the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast we welcome our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Martha Lacy—retired physician, Reiki Master Teacher, astrologer, and gifted potter. After 40 years in medicine, including 33 years at Mayo Clinic specializing in hematology and oncology, Martha now shares her wisdom through Reiki, astrology, and creative practice. In this inspiring conversation, Martha takes us inside her journey from the medical world into Reiki and spiritual practices, and how she now teaches self-care as a vital skill for everyday life. She shares stories from her work with multiple myeloma patients, including how Reiki empowered them with peace and relief, and how mindfulness, meditation, connection with nature, and creativity support both healing and wholeness. We also explore the balance of left brain and right brain awareness, how Reiki supercharges self-care practices, and Martha's insights into the current astrological cycles shaping our collective experience. Highlights from this episode: ●  

Recorded on the 11/11 portal and Veterans Day, this Distance Reiki Share closes our Spiritual Buzzwords series with a deep look at how Reiki weaves together many spiritual practices. Robyn and Danni explore how Reiki energy naturally supports the chakras and aura, clears cords and attachments, opens intuition and mediumship, and reveals ancestral and past life healing. Reiki connects every level of our being, personal, relational, and spiritual, bringing balance, clarity, and empowerment. You'll hear stories and examples from practice that show how Reiki works as both a biofield therapy and an enlightened energy that fills us with life force and peace. Danni shares reflections on "Reiki your way," reminding us that Reiki has no rigid rules or timelines. Whether you integrate astrology, sacred geometry, or simply Reiki alone, this discussion encourages you to follow your inner guidance and practice in a way that feels authentic.

In this Distance Reiki Share, Robyn and Danni explore how divination tools can deepen your connection with Reiki energy and your own intuition. Rather than using these tools for prediction, we discover how they help us listen to Reiki's guidance with clarity, compassion, and discernment. You'll learn how Reiki works with oracle cards, tarot, pendulums, runes, and other intuitive tools, and how practitioners can clear, attune, and use them in ethical, heart-centered ways. Danni also shares how she uses her pendulum to assess chakras before and after sessions, offering insight into the energy flow within a Reiki treatment. Then, Robyn leads a Reiki-guided meditation and oracle card journey using three decks, Shamanic, Animal Spirit, and Horse Wisdom, to receive collective messages and blessings for the group. Whether you already use these tools or are simply curious about how they fit within a Reiki practice, this talk offers inspiration, understanding, and a reminder that all divination is ultimately about bei
