Shamanic Reiki

1st Degree

Healing is an art

“The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.” “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” “What you're seek is seeking you”. “The wound is the place where the Light enters”

-Rumi

Reiki: Universal Life Force Energy

Reiki is system of healing wherein one is training to access, work, and embody the different levels and degrees of universal life force energy. In the practice of cultivating and working with Reiki, we become the bridge between the seen and unseen realms. We naturally attune to our abilities and gifts as a Shamanic being. In these Shamanic Reiki Training we not only explore and learn the traditional and non-traditional forms of Reiki Healing System, we also deepen our healing practice by embracing Shamanic principles and practices, protocols, and wisdoms navigating from the level of soul and soul work.

Shamanic Reiki

There is traditional and non traditional Reiki Lineages. The term Reiki Lineage refers to the unbroken chain of Reiki Masters that leads back to the founder of the Reiki system, Mikao Usui. This Reiki Master lineage represents the passing of Reiki knowledge and energy from teacher to student through attunements.

As a nontraditional Usui Reiki Master Lineage Holder, there is some freedom in the way I practice and teach Reiki, while adhering to honoring the vision and principles of the Usui Lineage and its founder, Mikao Usui. The Shamanic Reiki is a combination of different healing modalities and disciplines that I feel can support the practitioner to be more effective in supporting healing at the source, and the different levels the distortion can arise. Beyond the traditional and mainstream Reiki, I incorporate shamanic, intuitive healing work, and as a Doctor or Medical Qigong/Chinese Energetic Medicine and my years of medical intuition and healing work, I incorporatework with the energy pathways, meridians, and soul and spirit level, healing ancestral, and trans-generational work.

According to other non traditional Reiki Masters, and in alignment with my view, Reiki in its essence is shamanistic. Reiki healing Work and Practice are essentially a cultivation and training to access, work, embody, and express in order to heal ourselves and others, through the different degrees of frequency of universal life force energy. In the practice of cultivating and working with Reiki, we become the bridge between the seen and unseen realms. We naturally attune to our abilities and gifts as a Shamanic being. Shamanism, which have differing definitions, and different gifts and abilities, from Weather Magic, Talismans, Healers, Diviners, Spirit Guides, Excorcists, to mention a few. In regards to Shamanic Reiki, we are primarily speaking about Shamans who serve as healers and intuitives. In Shamanic Reiki,

can be essentially defined as one who serves as a bridge between the worlds, Upper, Middle, Lower Worlds and supports the being in the three levels of being, seen, unseen. The Shaman goes between the portals to support healing and wholeness. As pointed out by another colleague, collaborator, beautiful friend, and Reiki Master, Marie Kyoko Morohoshi, the original character for Reiki has women dancing, “Wu” character which is women shaman character, and it evolved to its modern adaptation, replacing the “Wu” radical for the current one that is used. We reclaim the original and essential Reiki, moving beyond the modern institution. In these Shamanic Reiki Training we not only explore and learn the traditional and non-traditional forms of Reiki Healing System, we also deepen our healing practice by embracing Shamanic principles and practices, protocols, and wisdoms navigating from the level of soul and soul work. With my Doctorate in Chinese Energetic Medicine/Medical Qigong, Shamanism, Medical Intuitive Work, Oracular Work and Channeler, I share my shamanic practices that brings the original Reiki to life, that we can heal all the different levels of our being… for after all, these are the great changing times, where we have come to answer the call to support the healing of ourselves, our ancestors, our world, to shift and pivot to a more beautiful, whole, sovereign world for future generations. We are gonna need more tools and resources, we are gonna need the whole of ourselves and together.

The original Kanji for Reiki (shown above) reveals the upper character which remains as “rain” and the three mouths, the three squares, which represents receiving the blessings. The lower character, however has changed. This original version shows the lower character, “miko” or “ling” or in Chinese “wui” which represents two people dancing.

The original kanji of reiki was also expressed this way with the lower character of two people praying.

Modern Reiki Radical: the “Miku” or “Wu” or “Ling” (Shaman) is replaced by X which represents cancellation of the energy of earth, which strips the Reiki kanji of its origins and original depth and meaning.
