Following the Reiki/Shaman Path...a Mystical Healing Place to be!
by Valerie O'Brien on 06/11/12
It is interesting how we start on one path and find ourselves somewhere totally different from where we thought we were heading. That is what happened to me when I thought I was on the Reiki path and found that I was actually walking a dual path...that of the Reiki/Shaman. For me Reiki has and will always be a form of Shamanism...there is no distinction between the two (for me)...they are all about the healing of the mind, body and spirit...mentally, emotionally and physically in all directions of time.
As I worked with the energy of Reiki and my Reiki Guides...I was being shown many wondrous things...taken on many spiritual journey's for the individual's I was working on and for myself. I was entering others past lives and standing witness to events that were an integral part of that person's healing. Soul pieces were coming back from past lives and Spirit Animals were bringing messages of guidance and protection. Spirit Guides making their presence known...helping to bring healing and closure to past traumas. All this before I really even started to investigate the world of Shamanism...so I thought ...hmmm...maybe it is time to learn a bit more about the Shamanic side of healing and understand it at a deeper level. So the Universe being aware of my desire for learning... brought a wonderful spiritual teacher into my life who I was able to take 4 levels of Shamanic practitioner training with. Ahhh it was all coming together...everything my Guides had shown me was now making so much more sense at a much deeper level...Reiki energy and Shaman energy came from the same source...Universal Life Force energy...so when channeling the healing energy of Reiki...one naturally taps into the Shaman energy.
So when you open to the Reiki path do not be surprised if you end up on the dual path of the Reiki/Shaman...a mystical healing place to be!
Blessed may you be on your path...enjoy the adventure! ...Namaste Val :)
