In this weekly Distance Reiki Share, Colleen Benelli explores how to receive, trust, and discern your spiritual guidance through whole-body listening and Reiki energy. Discover how to cross the Bridge of Light into the third heaven, release final blocks at the River of Peace, and connect deeply with your spirit guides in the "Hall of Spiritual Gifts and Nourishment." 
Key Insights:
* Whole-Body Listening: Decision-making and guidance include engaging with every chakra, allowing your head, heart, gut, and entire body to weigh in on your next steps.
* Everyday Guidance: Guidance isn't limited to divine or spiritual sources; it can appear through nature, animals, and unexpected synchronicities like bumper stickers.
* The Bridge of Light: Using the distance symbol, HSZSN, as a Bridge of Light helps shift your consciousness out of dualistic reality and into the higher frequencies of the third heaven.
* Collaborating with Guides: You have a direct voice in the circle with your spirit guides; they view you as a partner and want to hear your questions and needs.
