Reiki, a word that derives from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy), has been practiced for thousands of years. Its current form dates back to the early 1920s, when the first reiki school and clinic began in Tokyo, Japan. It is founded on the principle that energy flows through all living creatures. Practitioners use their hands to direct this energy towards the receiver. In Shamanic Reiki, the same principles apply but are enhanced using Shamanic Drumming. The powerful vibrations generated by the drumming help to break up the energy blockages in the receiver while stimulating a natural recalibration of the energy body.
Benefits of Shamanic Reiki:
Stress Reduction: Reiki relieves stress and promotes relaxation by soothing the mind and body.
Emotional Balance: It can assist the release of emotional blockages and promote emotional healing, resulting in greater mental clarity and emotional stability.
Physical Health: While Reiki is not a replacement for medical care, it may aid in physical healing by stimulating the body’s healing mechanisms.
What to Expect in a Shamanic Reiki Session:
Clients wear comfortable clothing suitable for meditation and deep relaxation. A session will begin with the receiver finding a comfortable lying position, ready to receive the guided Prana and clearing techniques applied by the practitioner. These techniques include a hands-off approach to guiding Prana, clearing blockage through drumming, and applying traditional Reiki symbols and mantras.
People often comment on how comforting they find the experience of Reiki. An interesting study reported that recipients frequently feel that they are hovering in a threshold state of consciousness, simultaneously aware of their surroundings and deeply indrawn. Some people fall into a deep, sleeplike, meditative state. Most will attest to feeling clear and refreshed after a session, and the effect is cumulative. The more sessions you have, the more balanced your energy body becomes.
