What is Shamanic Reiki?

When first introduced to Shamanic Reiki, we found the connection of ​Shamanism to nature and Mother Earth resonated deeply within us. It felt like ​a profound alignment with the natural world and its healing energies. ​Combining Shamanism with Reiki’s Universal Life Force energy brings a ​powerful synergy for healing and balance.

Shamanism like Reiki is an ancient healing tradition believed to be the oldest ​form of healing reaching back over 10,000 years. The word “shaman” ​originates from the Tungus tribe in Siberia. A Shaman is someone who travels ​or journeys into the spirit world or alternate realities to retrieve information ​for the betterment of individuals or their community. Reiki practitioners ​experience a similar type of expanded state, with focused attention and ​increased awareness of the body when channeling Reiki, making it a great ​foundation for shamanic work.

We know that becoming a Shaman isn’t something that can happen in a ​short period of time; it’s a lifelong journey. We do not claim to be Shamans, ​however Shamanism is innate within all of us. Our teachers and mentors ​imparted knowledge and techniques that are used in our Shamanic Reiki ​practice with permission from their indigenous teachers to share. We bring ​these teachings to meet the needs of people today, helping us return to ​balance, and reconnect with the oneness that we are all a part of.

Shamans called upon the essential forces of nature such as the winds, ​sacred plants, smoke, rocks, animals, fire, and rivers for healing. They call in ​helping spirits, exorcise harmful intrusions and balance energies through the ​vibration of drums, bells, rattles, movement, chanting and other methods. ​Many of these same tools are used in a Shamanic Reiki session to free ​congested or blocked energies. Shamanic tools that come from the earth; ​plants, flowers, or rocks carry the same powers as Mother Earth. Their ​connection to her living energy allows the use of this energy to be focused on ​the greater well-being of the receiver.

Both Shamanism and Reiki believe that negative experiences or traumas that ​we go through can disrupt our spirit and our soul causing it to fragment. This ​fragmentation can flow from our mental body down into our physical body ​where if not released is stored and can eventually cause mental or physical ​issues. In Shamanic Reiki there are several methods used to restore our ​spirit/soul to wholeness. Using shamanic journeys working with the elements, ​our intuition, our Shamanic Reiki spirit guides, or one of the many Shamanic ​tools, we can help resolve resistant issues and make one feel more whole and ​alive again.
