What is Shamanic Reiki?

by Jennifer Masters on September 1, 2008

Reiki (ray-key) is a modality of energy healing re-discovered by a Japanese Buddhist Monk around a hundred years ago. Passed on aurally through the years it has evolved, and today there are many lineages of Reiki, some are considered more traditional methods, some non-traditional.

It works by way of a practitioner channeling, or transferring, universal life-force energy into a receiver by laying-on of hands.
It works on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It can be used across distance and time. Everyone naturally has this life-force energy flowing through them, but the increased flow in a healing session allows the receiver to heal better and faster than they otherwise would. It is also very effective in self-healing.

The way I practice Reiki has become very nuanced by my Shamanic perspective of the world. Everything is connected—our physical body, our emotional body, our spirit body, our relationships to self, others, Spirit (God or divine source), the way we think about things, the way we treat ourselves, where we spend our time—and an imbalance in any area has a spiritual component and can be seen in the ‘spirit body.’ Using Reiki in conjunction with looking at the receiver’s spirit can prove instrumental in finding the cause of dis-ease, enabling elimination and prevention.

What is needed? How can I serve? These are questions I ask when I am facilitating healing for someone. I ask my spirit guides and power animals, working in connection with the receiver’s spirit guides and power animals, for answers. Sometimes my guides direct the energy flow and facilitate healing, sometimes they guide me to direct the flow, sometimes I am given messages to pass along to the recipient. I ask, what do they need to know, how can they help themselves in this healing process?

We humans are capable of so much more than meets the eye. There is a healer within each of us. Whether we know it or not, we have the power to heal ourselves, and to heal others. Health and happiness is within our reach.
