Shamanic Reiki: Expanded Ways of Working with Universal Life Force Energy [Paperback]

Llyn Roberts (Author), Robert Levy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 21, 2007

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.

Review

"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." -- Ipupiara Makunaiman, Brazilian Amazonian shaman and healer of the Ure-reu-wau-wau tribe.

"Shamanic Reiki opens a valuable toolbox for those seeking to expand their traditional Reiki practice. Roberts and Levy offer a generous array of approaches, encouraging the reader to choose what works best for them according to their unique relationship to spirit and whatever's called for in the midst of healing. Shamanic Reiki gave me a lot of ideas for my own practice and variations to familiar techniques that I hope to explore." -- Christopher Penczak, Author of Magick of Reiki.

"Shamanic healing techniques are helpful in removing obstacles on ones spiritual path. In the same way, they can help to remove similar energy blocks which create illness. The understanding of energy as a healing and wholing tool, described in great detail by the authors, will help the Reiki practitioner understand some of the phenomena which can occur during (and as a result of) Reiki treatments. Shamanic Reiki is a wonderful, easy to follow instruction guide which illuminates the matrix behind shamanic and energetic healing. All praise to Llyn and Robert for their fine work." -- Paula Horan, Author of Exploring Reiki, 108 Questions and Answers.

"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." -- Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., Author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water and Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart.

"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." -- Sandra Ingerman, Author of Soul Retrieval and How to Heal Toxic Thoughts.

From the Author

"Years of practice have shown us how potent a healing instrument Shamanic Reiki is. Through it, we learned long ago that miracles are ordinary, part of our human birthright. Practitioners facilitate the environment for each person to access their own wholeness in the timing and manner reflective of their highest good. In holding that space we've witnessed spontaneous physical healings that defy modern medical science. We've seen profound life changes. The work has shown us that each individual has the power to heal themselves, a power that's amplified in unconditional, loving environments. No one can predict the outcome of any session or healing relationship, yet in Shamanic Reiki we rest assured that whatever happens is meant to happen and we open to the unexpected. Our most important and exciting discovery is that the world is not, and we are not, as we've been conditioned to think. Embracing this practice has broadened our horizons and helped us relate to clients, ourselves, and the world from fresh perspectives. We see this expanded paradigm as essential for our own and our planet's health as we move together through increasingly complex times. We hope that you, who read this book, will also discover such powerful connections, enhancing your journey as a Shamanic Reiki healer and joining the universal circle of healers." Llyn Roberts, M.A. & Robert Levy

This review is from: Shamanic Reiki: Expanded Ways of Working with Universal Life Force Energy (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wise Blending of Two Beautiful Healing Practices!, August 22, 2008

By 

Lin "Linda C. Senn" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shamanic Reiki: Expanded Ways of Working with Universal Life Force Energy (Paperback)

As one who regularly takes self-guided, shamanic journeys and a certified (traditional) Reiki Teaching Master, I was fascinated with the authors' enlightened, intuitive approach to augmenting each method with the other. In fact, Roberts and Levy highlight what I view as the most powerful aspects of both traditional Usui Reiki and Shamanic healing practices, and blend them masterfully. Experienced practitioners can choose to employ the same mix as the authors, or use more or less of each, according to her "sense" of any one situation. This is a spiritually beautiful healing manual!

5.0 out of 5 stars The integration of two important healing modalities, August 18, 2008

This review is from: Shamanic Reiki: Expanded Ways of Working with Universal Life Force Energy (Paperback)

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.
