What is Reiki and Shamanism?
As shared by Reiki Master Parminder Randhawa
What is Reiki?
At hospitals and clinics across America, Reiki is acknowledged as a meaningful and effective way to improve health and well-being.
Reiki (pronounced ray - key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. The word Reiki is a combination of words : Rei meaning spiritual wisdom and Ki meaning life energy .
Reiki is performed by a certificated practitioner and is used to heal emotional trauma and chronic pain, reduce stress, and help restore overall balance to the body. A practitioner works on allowing a steady flow of positive energy to circulate through your body. This further stimulates your body’s ability to heal itself and perform to its highest efficiency.
It is a beautiful relaxing experience that has lasting benefits. Reiki is safe, gentle and yet powerful. It has no side-effects and is very effective!
What is Shamanism?
A lot of misconception is out there about Shamanism. If you were to Google or watch something on TV about Shamanism, you might walk away thinking this is something weird and crazy “out there”, but it’s anything but. Shamanism is the oldest form of Spiritual Practice. It has been practiced for tens of thousands of years – all over the globe. At its core, it is about living in harmony and balance with the rest of creation. In Shamanism, it is believed that everything is connected through a web of life and everything is alive and has spirit. Through Shamanic practices, we bring about and restore harmony and balance to ourselves, to our community and globally.
So, What’s the Difference?
Reiki – client is lying down and universal life force energy is flowing through the practitioner. It is very healing and very beautiful. The main tool the practitioner uses is their hands. Other tools that may be used are crystals, essential oils and calming music. But the primary tools are their hands.
Shamanic Healing – can be indoors, outdoors, laying down or seated. Many tools are used such as medicine songs, feathers, smoke from sage, crystals, stones, drums and rattles. Both Reiki and Shamanic Healing are used to clean and clear out emotional blockage to restore harmony, to feel more grounded, centered, and relaxed.
Both are beautiful compliments of one another. Reiki tends to be more Yin, feminine, gentle, and sweet energy. While Shamanic Healing tends to be more Yang, masculine, fiery sort of energy. I utilize both practices and the combination is very powerful and beneficial
