Shamanic Reiki
In it’s simplest definition, Reiki is a healing technique that utilizes Universal Life Force Energy to help heal the mind, body, & spirit, as well as clear stagnant & negative energy from within the physiology & auric field. Reiki can help improve the flow of energy around the body, can help enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, & reduce other symptoms of illness.
As a healer, whether in Reiki, shamanic, energetic or another healing modality, we accept our unique relationship to the greater energies of the Universe. Some call this greater energy/energies God- others call it Spirit, Creator, Consciousness, or by many other names. You can call it any name that resonates more with you.
Reiki flows more easily when our ego is "not present," when we can tap into the feeling of being just a channel of energy, when we get out of the way! The same is true for shamanic healing.
There are some differences between traditional Reiki and shamanic healing. In traditional Reiki, we call upon Source Energy (God/Universe/Spirit/Creator or any other name you choose) for healing. With Shamanic Reiki, the foundations are based more on a non-hierarchical view that all life, not just human life, has consciousness. We are all Consciousness. Everything is Consciousness. In shamanism, we believe (because we can experience it, see it and feel it) that we can tap into Nature Spirits and (river, sky, wind, plants, etc.) and connect with their Consciousness and call upon them, ,in addition to Source Energy to do the healing. Because of its connection to nature and the spirits, Shamanic Reiki often achieves a more intimate, deeper, and more targeted type of healing. With Shamanic Reiki we go into a more intuitive direction and let the assistive energies direct the healing process. As we open our hearts as healers, our intuition grows and takes us where it will to promote healing. It is not the shamanic practitioner, but their spiritual connection, that performs the powerful healing. Shamanic practitioners are merely intermediaries, accessing the spirit world on behalf of others and the earth. We ask Spirit or Source Energy to guide us and channel through us so we can accomplish the greatest good.
We look forward to helping you on your healing journey!
