The discussion weaves together Reiki energy, shamanic worldview, and lived wisdom, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how these paths complement one another.
This is a collaborative episode focused on shared values, spiritual maturity, and honoring diverse traditions while staying rooted in personal experience.

This guided Reiki journey supports you in moving past resistance and into divinely guided action. Through gentle Reiki awareness and listening, you are guided to release resistance and receive clarity for your next step.
In this journey, you will:
Settle into Reiki energy and nervous system regulation
Cross the Bridge of Light into deeper awareness
Release resistance at the River of Life
Listen for guidance at the Tree of Life
Receive clear, aligned actions in the Field of Opportunity
Integrate insight into your body and daily life
This journey is supportive when you feel ready to move forward but unsure of the next step, when clarity feels incomplete, or when action requires trust rather than certainty. Guidance may come as a feeling, a knowing, an image, or a subtle shift in awareness.
You do not need Reiki attunement to receive this journey. Simply allow yourself to receive.
This guided Reiki journey is part of the Reiki Lifestyle manifestation series on YouTube and the podcast channels. It is for Reiki practitioners, students, and anyone using Reiki to receive clarity, confidence, and divine action.

In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen Benelli and Robyn Benelli continue their Reiki manifestation series by exploring how resistance shows up when energy is ready to move into form and how Reiki supports divinely guided action in real life.
Manifestation often feels clear at the vision level, yet challenging at the action level. In this conversation, we explore how resistance can signal readiness rather than failure, how courage and trust develop through movement, and how clarity often unfolds after taking the next step.
This discussion offers grounded, practical insight into working with Reiki during moments of hesitation, uncertainty, and decision-making. We talk about listening to Reiki energy, honoring different ways people experience guidance, and recognizing that inspired action does not require certainty or perfection.
Topics covered include:
Understanding resistance as part of the manifestation process
Listening to Reiki and inner guidance for next steps
Trusting action without forcing outcomes
Moving through fear, hesitation, and overwhelm
Taking small, meaningful steps in daily life
Working with Reiki during cycles of inspiration, pause, and renewal
The session includes a guided Reiki journey that supports letting go at the River of Life, receiving guidance at the Tree of Life, and identifying clear actions in the Field of Opportunity. Automatic writing is offered as an optional way to listen more deeply to guidance during the journey.
This video is part of our ongoing Reiki manifestation series and is suitable for Reiki practitioners, students, and anyone interested in using Reiki for clarity, confidence, and aligned action.
Reiki meets you where you are. Movement unfolds one step at a time.

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.
