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 will experience in this journey:

• Entering the Kurama Dera Temple gate in guided visualization
• Walking the sacred path of Mt. Kurama
• Feeling the presence of Reiki's origins
• Connecting with Usui Sensei's awakening place
• Receiving Reiki energy through the landscape, the breeze, and the ancient trees
• Sitting among the roots to listen, breathe, and let the mountain reveal guidance for your path

This is part of our ongoing Distance Reiki Share series, where Reiki energy brings clarity, healing, and inspiration to your life.

Recorded on the powerful 11/11 portal, this Guided Reiki Journey takes you through the chakras, the Bridge of Light, and the River of Life to release what no longer serves you and receive divine gifts, guidance, and empowerment.

You'll travel through the colors of creation, allowing Reiki to balance and renew your chakras, clear old cords and attachments, and fill your energy with light. In the River of Life, you release patterns from past lives and ancestral history, then receive the gifts of your soul in the Hall of Spirit.

This journey reveals your intuitive senses, connects you with enlightened guidance, and invites you to ask questions of the Divine through Reiki energy. It ends by returning across the Bridge of Light, integrating color, light, and awareness into your body and spirit on this auspicious 11/11 day of intention and remembrance.

Experience:

• Chakra healing through color and Reiki light
• Releasing cords, attachments, and ancestral imprints in the River of Life
• Receiving soul gifts and intuitive awareness in the Hall of Spirit
• Asking Reiki for guidance through symbols, spirit allies, or signs
• Returning to the physical world renewed and aligned

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 being inspired by the Divine.

✨ In this episode:

• What "divination" truly means in Reiki practice
• The difference between oracle and tarot cards
• How to use Reiki for clearing and attuning your tools
• Working with pendulums for yes/no and chakra balancing
• Integrating runes, astrology, and other intuitive methods
• Guided Reiki journey with three oracle decks

In this guided Reiki journey, Robyn leads you through a gentle, heart-centered practice that weaves together Reiki energy and divination tools: the Shaman's Dream Oracle, Spirit Animal Oracle, and Way of the Horse deck.

You'll begin with a Reiki invocation, activating the Reiki symbols and inviting the illumined ones, your guides, and the Divine Animal Kingdom into the space. From there, you'll cross the Bridge of Light into the enlightened realms and receive guidance through three rounds of card pulls.

For each round, you'll be invited to choose a card (1, 2, or 3) and listen as the messages are read for:

1️⃣ Shamanic Oracle (Shaman's Dream Deck) Question: What energy or lesson is Reiki helping me transform right now?Cards include themes like initiation, surrender, and reconciliation, offering insight into what is ready to be released, healed, or understood with compassion.

2️⃣ Animal Spirit Oracle Question: What guidance or ally is Reiki sending to support me through this transformation?Messages from Whale Spirit, White Raven Spirit, and Starfish Spirit invite you to trust the mystery, notice synchronicities, and open to infinite possibilities.

3️⃣ Way of the Horse Deck Question: What energy or blessing is Reiki bringing in as I step into alignment with my highest self? Horse Wisdom explores the wounded healer, healthy boundaries, and the alchemy of sadness, inviting you into deeper authenticity, healing, and freedom.

Throughout the journey you are guided to:

• Let go of what no longer serves you
• Receive the blessings and guidance Reiki is bringing in
• Ask your heart, "What is my next step?"
• Return over the Bridge of Light, integrating the messages into your daily life
