Energy Healing & Spiritual Awakening: The Hidden Power of Ancient Japanese Shamanism

He once wore a ninja mask on our show. Now, he’s back, unmasked, unapologetic, and wielding ancient energies like a multidimensional Jedi. In this mind-expanding episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we welcome back Benton Ryer, a shamanic energy healer, occult practitioner, and author of The Shores of Eternity. But this time, he’s stepping out of the shadows to talk openly about his powerful healing work, and even leads us through a live on-air healing session you’ll feel through your speakers. From purging unseen energies to confronting hidden trauma stored in the body, Benton explains the mysterious Japanese system of Ko Shinto, a long-forgotten spiritual tradition that clears energetic impurities at a depth most modalities can’t touch. He opens up about how he helped Will during his cancer journey, how most people won’t accept healing when it’s offered, and why skepticism often masks deeper spiritual resistance. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already a believer in the unseen realms, this is one episode you won’t forget. Who Is Benton Ryer?Author of The Shores of Eternity: A Memoir of SorceryKo Shinto practitioner specializing in purification ritesFormer masked guest known for nightly energy healing sessions on InstagramMartial artist with a background in Judo and Japanese esotericismNow based in Japan, continuing his spiritual studiesWhat You’ll Discover in This EpisodeWhy Benton hid his identity during his first interview, and why he’s now ready to be seenHow he works with ancient Japanese spirits (the kabi) to clear dense, parasitic energiesWhat really happens in a Ko Shinto purification, and why it’s not the same as ReikiThe dangers of spiritual arrogance and why most “healers” aren’t doing the real workThe energetic parasites that attach to gifted people, and why Benton says even your spirit guides may not be what they seemHis thoughts on “occult” being misunderstood as “evil”, and why his work is anything butA deeply moving moment: Benton shares how he worked on Will during cancer, and how the results stunned his doctorsThe truth about why so many people reject healing, even when they’re in painWhy This Episode Matters This isn’t your typical energy healer story.
