We weren’t planning on releasing this as an episode on the podcast but had a lot of people asking us to do so, so here it is! This is our Free Distance Reiki Share that we held on 3.24.20 on Zoom, at one point we had over 100 people! You’ll have to excuse the informal format, but it was amazing getting together and sending Reiki to each other. We all felt so much better afterward! We talk a lot about distance Reiki, Zoom and how to start your own Distance Reiki Share with your community.  Below is the Zoom tutorial link we referenced. Colleen leads us in an invocation too!  https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials   Colleen and Robyn Benelli can be reached at: ReikiLifestyle.com colleen@reikilifestyle.com robyn@reikilifestyle.com
