The Reiki Lifestyle Podcast

In this episode of the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast, Colleen and Robyn welcome Lena Takahashi and Muniqui Muhammad from Healing Land Reiki in Japan. They share what it's like to practice and teach Reiki in the country where Reiki began and why many people are surprised to learn that Reiki is still not widely understood in Japan the way it is in the West.
Lena and Muniqui tell the story of how Reiki found them through synchronicity, including a "Reiki handbook" that sat on a shelf for fourteen years before it became the key that opened their path. They describe the impact of their first Reiki sessions, the clarity and inner quiet they experienced, and how that turned into a dedication to share Reiki as a practical, life-changing practice.
They also talk about what it means to be a Reiki Master as a lifelong student, staying open-minded, continuing to study, and valuing evidence-based Reiki history alongside direct personal experience with Reiki energy. And their journey to become ICRT Licensed Teachers in Japan. 
A central part of the conversation is Mount Kurama and the relationship Lena and Muniqui have built with the mountain and temple community. Lena shares the full story of helping bring the World Peace Reiki Grid to Mount Kurama, the timing, and the years-long process that led to its official acceptance.
You'll also hear about:
Why self-practice comes first, and how personal change naturally draws people to you
Technique vs. energy, and why there are many right ways to practice
Healing Land Reiki's center in Kyoto, plus private and group visits to Mount Kurama
The May Full Moon Ceremony (Wesak Festival)on Mt. Kurama and why they will share this profound experience with Reiki students.

Learn how to use Reiki for manifestation by reframing subconscious beliefs and letting go of old stories that no longer serve you. In this session, Colleen and Robyn Benelli discuss the vital balance between releasing stress and bringing in life force to manifest your most empowered, healed self.
Are you ready to step into a new version of yourself? In this Distance Reiki Share, we dive deep into the intersection of Reiki and manifestation. We explore how to identify and release the "old stories," those culturally created or ancestral beliefs about money, health, and self-worth that act as blocks to your success.
In this video, we discuss:
The Power of the Reframe: How to shift your language from "fear of lack" to "abundant safety."
Beyond Your Wounds: Recognizing that you are not just your history; you are the resilience that grew from it.
Reveal Your Authentic Beliefs: Reiki helps you experience the truth of your authentic beliefs. 
Practical Manifestation: Whether you want to manifest a Reiki business, better health, or financial abundance, we talk about the practical and spiritual steps to get there.
The "Planet of the Great Forgetting": Understanding why it's so easy to forget our enlightened nature while living the human experience.

Experience a guided Reiki Journey to release old, culturally created beliefs and reveal your authentic inner truth. This meditation uses the Bridge of Light and the Tree of Wisdom to help you align your divine mind with your human mind, creating the mental and emotional space needed for powerful manifestation.
Are you carrying beliefs that don't actually belong to you? In this guided Reiki journey, Colleen Benelli leads you inward to the third heaven, a place of non-dual light and divine compassion where all there is, is love.
When we live in the "Great Forgetting" of the human experience, we often adopt beliefs and expectations from our families, peers, and culture. This journey is designed to help you "complete the completions" of those old cycles. By visiting the River of Peace and the Field of Possibilities, you will learn to hear your own inner voice without the noise of the world.
In this Reiki Journey, you will:
Unify the Four Minds: Align your Divine Mind, Heart Mind, Gut Mind, and Earth Mind.
Release Energetic Cords: Dissolve attachments to old stories, generational expectations, and collective fears at the River of Peace.
Visit the Tree of Wisdom: Receive your authentic beliefs and values that reflect who you are becoming.
Explore the Field of Possibilities: Identify the small, natural steps that support your new, steady movement forward.
Whether you are healing from the past or dreaming of a new future, this practice restores your vitality and rejuvenates your human spirit.
Prepare for your journey: Find a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably. You may want to have a journal nearby for automatic writing after the meditation.

Learn how to use Reiki for manifestation during times of collective chaos. In this session, we explore the powerful energetic shift from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse and how to maintain internal stability when the world feels wobbly. We discuss the "Tree of Life" energy, the science of kindness, and how to lift your frequency above collective disturbances (egregores) to reclaim your creativity and joy.
Navigating the "In-Between" We are currently in a rare overlap where the final "shedding" of the Year of the Snake meets the active arrival of the Fire Horse. This teaching explains why you may feel "blocked" and how to prioritize stability during this transition.
Egregores and Collective Thought Forms An Egregore is a collective thought form created when many people focus on the same fear or worry. Learn how to use Reiki to lift your energy into higher frequencies (the 12 Heavens) to stay clear and conscious.
The Pathway to Joy Manifestation requires a frequency shift. We discuss the "Chain of Activation":
Notice Beauty: Find one objective point of beauty in your environment.
Activate Gratitude: Allow that beauty to spark a genuine "thank you."
Find Joy: Let the gratitude soften the heart and open the door to manifestation.
The Power of Kindness Reflecting on the insights of Paul Stamets, we discuss how random acts of kindness are a fundamental human trait that restores stability to our greater communities and ourselves.
Eagle, Mouse, and Inner Vision
Eagle Vision: The soul's perspective, seeing the path is intact.
Mouse Vision: The immediate, practical step right in front of you.
Inner Vision: Your intuitive guidance that bridges the two.
