In this episode of the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast, Robyn and Colleen Benelli talk with their friend and colleague Padraig Ansbro, Reiki practitioner, hypnotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and U.S. Navy veteran. Padraig shares his spiritual path, his heart-centered service with veterans and military families through the Returning Veterans Project, and practical ways Reiki practitioners can offer support in their own communities.

You'll also hear an honest conversation about the "shared healing" experience practitioners know so well, how to stay grounded after deep energy work, and a simple clearing practice you can do at your front door.

In this episode, you'll hear about

• Padraig's spiritual background and how it shaped his healing work
• How Reiki and hypnotherapy support the nervous system and help create inner stability
• The Returning Veterans Project and why confidentiality and compassion matter in veteran care
• Practical outreach ideas for Reiki practitioners who want to volunteer with veterans
• A simple "leave it at the door" clearing ritual for empaths and sensitive practitioners
