working beyond the constraints of space and time

Shamanic Reiki Healing

Shamanic healing

In shamanic healing, the practice of shamanic journeying — an inner journey into non-ordinary realities, also known as “the spirit world” — is used for the purpose of seeking healing, direction, and information that is relevant to the needs of the seeker. While conducting a journey on behalf of another person, I usually have my eyes closed and say out loud what I am seeing and sensing in real-time, without adding any meaning or interpretations of my own. If you wish to discuss meanings, we have time to do so after the journey as a collaborative inquiry.

Every person’s style of journeying is different. I can also teach you how to develop your own journeying practice. My journeys commonly feature plants, minerals, landforms, weather patterns, and other images of an “ecological” nature. I also often see human forms (which may or may not represent you or people you know), and experience physical movement impulses as I am moving through the spirit world. There is often a story which unfolds, centred around particular “characters” (human, other-than-human, or ecological persons), but I can never predict this beforehand.

Distance Reiki healing

In a Reiki treatment over distance, healing energy is transmitted through holding focused, compassionate, loving intention towards the recipient — rather than through physical touch. I start by establishing an energetic connection to Reiki, and then to you, wherever you happen to be in the world right now. Reiki flows through our connection and also maintains a protective field around it.

Once the connection and flow of Reiki is established, I begin the shamanic journeying practice — guided by Reiki energy, any intentions you have expressed for the session, and any spirit guides that either you or I have (optionally) chosen to call in. I also invite Reiki to flow to any places I journey to, and any persons I encounter there.

Reiki healing over distance combines very well with shamanic healing as both practices involve transcending the constraints of physical space and time.

How does it work?

Live sessions are typically conducted over video call. During the healing practice itself, you are invited to turn your camera off and find a laying or sitting position that can allow your body to fully relax. I will stay on camera, and you might see me moving around very slowly. If you prefer, I can share out loud what I am seeing in real-time. If not, I will give a summary afterwards.

As the recipient, you do not need to do anything whatsoever (including trying to stay awake). Prior experience with Reiki or shamanic practices is not required. If you do have specific healing intentions, questions you want to ask of the spirits, or spirit guides of your own that you want to call in, this is welcome — but not at all necessary.

If your intention is simply to relax and rebalance your system, or be guided into a deeper state of meditative consciousness — that is perfectly welcome as well.

Establishing energetic connection
Before beginning the practice, I will take a moment to acknowledge the land you are currently on & inviting it in to our session container. Feel free to share as much or as little as you prefer about your current location. This is where I will be sending the Reiki to, and it will also be the starting location for the shamanic journey.

Preparation for a session
Please do whatever you need to create a physical and energetic container for yourself that can support relaxation and comfort, such as:
- Using headphones to minimise potentially stressful “distractions” around you
- Having water, snacks, blankets, pillows, an eye cover, something soft to lay down on
- Turning off your notifications, make sure you won’t be disturbed by other humans for the hour
- Lighting a candle or incense, having meaningful objects or elements of nature close by
- Feel free to join from your bed, the forest floor, or any location that feels supportive

It is also recommended to have at least 15 mins of spaciousness and quiet between our call and your next meeting or appointment.

FAQs

  • Everyone is different, and I can’t guarantee how it will be like for you. For those with limited experience with energy work, I typically invoke the metaphor of “meditating together”. Sometimes, meditation is simply deeply relaxing and stress-relieving; other times, it can also involve spontaneous transformative insights and other experiences typically described as “spiritual”. Occasionally, intense and uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations may surface and move through — this is understood as an energetic release response, which is also perfectly normal.

    Falling asleep during the session is quite common and very welcome.

    There is no right or wrong, better or worse experience — I trust that whatever experience you do have, is the one that’s most needed right now.

  • On Zoom.

    You can join from any location you like. If you prefer not to be on camera at all, audio-only is also possible.

  • This offering evolved out of giving many online sessions in Reiki and in shamanic journeying, and discovering where they naturally complement one another. It wasn’t designed with the intention to be done in person, as there is no hands-on component, nor any specific focus on the physical body.

    However, if you want to come to my place to experience it rather than be in your own, you are welcome to request that :)
