Product Description

For the first time in print, shamanic techniques are introduced that healers and Reiki practitioners can draw on to tap ancient healing wisdom. Shamanism and Reiki are, by themselves, powerful ways to heal. Together, their power multiplies, and healing methods become available that aren't accessible if they're used separately. The purpose of Shamanic Reiki is to introduce you to concepts in both and provide you with detailed proven methods to enhance your own healing practices, or to work on yourselves.

Sandra Ingerman, Author of Soul Retrieval and How to Heal Toxic Thoughts.
"Students often ask me if Reiki and shamanic healing can be bridged together. Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy brilliantly teach all of us that yes they can and more importantly show us how. There is a great need for Shamanic Reiki. This book teaches us about the power of love, light, and respect for all of life. Roberts and Levy did a magnificent job."

Ipupiara Makunaiman, Brazilian Amazonian shaman and healer of the Ure-reu-wau-wau tribe.
"No ordinary book, Shamanic Reiki introduces the combination of Reiki and shamanism with rare empathy, wisdom and insight. This is a book that touches the heart of the human condition."

Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., Author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water and Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart.
"The alchemy of shamanism and Reiki is nothing less than pure gold in the hands of Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy. Shamanic Reiki brings the concept of energy healing to a whole new level. More than a how-to-book, it speaks to the health of the human spirit, a journey we must all complete."

Customer Reviews

The integration of two important healing modalities
Read this book if you would like to integrate shamanism into your Reiki practice. The authors make it effortless. Each chapter presents easy to follow approaches, which will involve you and your clients in the process of making your Reiki sessions more powerful. The authors empower us to step confidently into our personal exploration of combining shamanism with Reiki by communicating to us their profound understanding of the nature of energy. We will understand that our success depends on our intention, our relationship to spirit, and our trust in the healing process. As we experiment with the book's healing methods and exercises, we will remember the authors' admonishment that healing tools are channels of healing energy, not the energy itself. After we close the covers of the book, we will be ready to open our basket of tools and use them to experience the rewards of incorporating these two important healing modalities.

Shamanic Reiki
The marriage between Reiki and Shamanism is so obvious that the thought never even occurred to me. My shelves are lined with books on various types of Reiki, a bunch of Joseph Campbell (Journey of the Hero) like books, and a nice selection of personal journey, self help titles. In my Reiki practice, I have always encouraged my clients to use Reiki as a tool to self understanding. My position is that true healing comes from self acceptance and resonance with the genuine self. I don't know why I didn't see the connection sooner.

Reading Shamanic Reiki gave me a profound ah-ha moment. I've always felt that Reiki didn't quite describe what I do and what I believe that my clients need. In the past, I've been frustrated by individuals who simply want me to cure their ills. I know that the energies can relieve their pain. I also know that by continuing the same life patterns, these same individuals will soon find themselves in the exact same position. I've always thought that Reiki should be used not only to relieve the clients concerns but also as a way to understand the root of the problem.

Now I see that the authors of Shamanic Reiki suggest exactly this. They seek to ask more of both the practitioner and the client. This involves a partnership of sorts, a commitment to healing and personal growth on the part of both parties. This is the kind of practitioner I want to be.

Wow...
I was excited when I took my Level 2 Reiki training earlier this year to discover that parts of it seemed to be similar to the shamanic journeywork I've been doing for almost 15 years. The more I've worked with my clients, the more I've found this to be true. Coming across this book was a little miracle - their suggestions and experience are amazing, and will help keep me from re-creating my healing wheel. What I especially appreciate is how they use their work to empower their clients, not to make their clients indefinitely dependent upon them. Great work. What a godsend.
