Shamanic Reiki is a powerful healing modality that combines the ancient wisdom of Shamanism with the gentle, Divine energy of Reiki. It is a holistic approach to healing that works with the entire person, utilizing many techniques and ancient healing modalities to bring harmony and unity to the whole being.

At its core, Reiki recognizes that everything in the universe is made up of energy. This energy can become stagnant or sluggish, leading to various forms of dis-ease. By working with the subtle energy systems of the body, Reiki practitioners are able to facilitate the flow of energy, removing blockages and restoring balance.

While traditional Usui Reiki focuses primarily on channeling universal life force energy for healing, Shamanic Reiki incorporates additional elements such as Shamanic journeying, Chakra spinning, drumming, and Soul Retrieval. These Shamanic practices allow the practitioner to access deeper levels of consciousness, work directly with Spirit Guides, and travel in non-ordinary reality. By integrating these techniques, Shamanic Reiki offers a deeper perspective of healing, diving deep into the subtle and subconscious aspects of the client’s journey. This synergy between Shamanism and Reiki creates a profound and transformative healing experience for both the practitioner and the recipient.

One of the defining features of Shamanic Reiki is its incorporation of Shamanic practices. Shamanic practitioners work with Spirit Guides, Power Animals, and other non-physical beings to access information and healing energies that are beyond the realm of ordinary reality.

In Shamanic Reiki, the practitioner acts as a bridge between the spiritual and physical realms, channeling Reiki energy while also working with their Shamanic allies. This allows for a deeper level of healing and transformation to occur, as the practitioner is able to tap into the wisdom and guidance of the spiritual realms.

In addition, Shamanic Reiki practitioners are trained in the art of Shamanic journeying, a methodical meditative experience that allows the practitioner to access the Shamanic realms. Shamanic realms represent states of altered consciousness in which we can create deep, transformative relationships with our Spirit Teams and get answers to our deepest questions.

As a Shamanic Reiki practitioner, each session brings something new. Whereas most traditional Reiki sessions have me placing my hands on or above the client’s body and moving positions every few minutes, Shamanic Reiki sessions are incredibly active and full of communication with my Guides and Spirit Team. In a single session, I may be using my hands to pull away heavier energies from the client’s body, calling in the universal Master Healer Animals to help process the energetic releases, bringing in a drum to guide the client on a Shamanic journey, and using crystals to ground the client in their experience.

As a Shamanic Reiki practitioner, these are some of the tools that I use most regularly in my practice:

Drumming: The rhythmic beats of drums are used to induce altered states of consciousness, allowing for deeper connection with spiritual realms. Drumming also aids in grounding and centering, enhancing the overall healing experience.

Soul Retrieval: Soul Retrieval is a process that involves retrieving and reintegrating fragmented aspects of one’s soul. This helps individuals reclaim lost parts of themselves, leading to greater wholeness and healing.

Negative Entity Removal: Shamanic Reiki uses techniques to identify and remove negative entities or energies that may be attached to a person’s energy field. This clearing process purifies the energy, creating a more harmonious and balanced state.

Chakra Balancing and Spinning: Working with the Chakras we can use various methods to balance and align the client’s energy. Chakra spinning techniques can clear blockages and restore the natural flow of energy.And More: Shamanic Reiki encompasses a wide range of additional practices and techniques, such as energy extraction, cord cutting, ancestral healing, and past life healing. These tools further enhance the healing process and promote personal growth.
