Reiki is the process of being a channel for divine energy to flow through your body/hands and into the client, so that their chakras can be supported in releasing old energy and pains, balancing and reconnecting to the chakra column, and expanding vibration so the client can hold more of their own essence energy. 

How I teach Reiki is a bit different. My medicine woman work weaves shamanic healing with reiki principles and tradition. As such, what I practice is more interactive with: the client body - listening to the wisdom and pains held within;   tools and processes in how to bring balance and love/truth to the energy body; and spirit guides, as co-creative allies in the healing space. 

Reiki level I and II are taught in a way that honors the traditional reiki practice, while also offering you the shamanic perspective. Reiki II is when you meet Quan Yin, and cultivate a relationship with her as the source of divine energy with reiki. The way you will learn reiki will not only guide you to serve your clients as a  reiki healer, but will empower you to deepen your connection to your own spirit guides and expand your awareness of what is possible within you - what your own medicine is.  

Master level reiki is when we really bring in the shamanic healing concepts - not to train you as a shamanic healer, but to give you the framework so you know when you are stepping into liminal spaces, and how to be safe and ethical in that process (and when to step back and suggest the client calls a shamanic healer).
