About this episode
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.
