Shamanic Reiki

Shamanic Reiki blends traditional Reiki energy healing (channeling universal life force energy) with shamanic practices (like journeying, drumming, connecting with our higher self, spirit guides) for deep, transformative healing, going beyond physical touch to address spiritual roots of imbalance, clearing energetic blocks, and restoring wholeness by connecting you to your higher self, Spirit Guides, Angels with the ultimate Intention to re-connect your Soul to your body. Micheal will use high vibrational crystals including selenite, amethyst, and clear quartz,to hold and place around your body, breathwork, affirmations, Shamanic Rattles and Drums, as well as Om Chanting, coupled to Spiritual Intent for profound balance and growth.

Key Components

• Reiki: The foundation, channeling universal energy (Ki/Chi) through hands-on, hovering hands and or aura work for relaxation and balance.
• Shamanism: Ancient techniques for accessing other realities (spirit world) to retrieve wisdom, remove negative energies, and work with spirit helpers (guides, animal totems). 

What Happens in a Session?

A typical Shamanic Reiki session lasts longer than a traditional Reiki treatment (often 60–90 minutes) and involves.

1. Preparation: Clearing the space with symbols, smudge and sound.
2. Consultation. This usually takes around 20 minutes, with questions on your health and lifestyle 
3. Assessment: Discussion of current life challenges and setting a specific healing intention.
4. Active Healing: Micheal will alternate between using Reiki symbols, palm healing, breathwork, Om chanting, using Rattles and Drums, or rhythmic breathing.
5. Integration: Discussion of any messages, visions, or symbols encountered during the "journey" to help the client apply these insights to their daily life.

Some Of The Many Benefits

Shamanic Reiki is often sought by those who feel "stuck" or are dealing with chronic emotional or spiritual issues that traditional methods haven't fully resolved. Reported benefits include: 

• Emotional Release: Deep clearing of grief, anxiety, or long-held trauma.

• Enhanced self-awareness and personal empowerment.
• Clearing energetic blocks to fulfill one's purpose.

  Everything in the Universe Vibrates. Your vibration is unique to you. It is the internal hum that attracts and repels all opportunities and experiences. Your vibration can rise or drop depending on your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. When your vibration drops, it is called Descension. When your vibration rises, it is called Ascension. Raising our Vibration is the easy part, maintaining our Ascension should be our ultimate Goal.  

My goal is to help clients go from a state or path of Descension to a path of Ascension.

In Shamanic traditions, the spirit world and our inner nature are interconnected through three distinct but overlapping concepts: spirit guides, the higher self, and the soul

The Soul is the "traveler" on the Spiritual journey. Its relationship with the Higher self and our Spirit guides, is often described as follows:

• Higher Self: This is you—specifically, an extension of your own consciousness existing on a higher vibrational plane. It is the wisest, most enlightened part of your being that remains untouched by the ego or physical limitations. It often communicates through meditation, deep "inner knowing" or sudden intuitive realisations. The Higher Self is often viewed as the "blueprint" or perfect version of the soul. The Higher Self acts as a bridge between the incarnated soul and the universal divine source
• Spirit Guide: These are distinct entities separate from your consciousness. They are benevolent beings, such as ancestors, spiritual mentors, or angelic presences, power animals, deities) who offer wisdom, protection, and assistance during shamanic journeys. They support you from the spirit world. They tend to offer specific advice through external signs, symbols, or dreams. They help shamans navigate the Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds (the three shamanic realms) to retrieve lost soul parts or bring back healing information.
• The Soul is the "traveler" on the spiritual journey. Its relationship with the other two is often described as follows: The soul is your eternal core that incarnates across multiple lifetimes to gain experience and evolve. The Higher Self is often viewed as the "blueprint" or perfect version of the soul. Some perspectives describe the soul as only a small portion of your total spiritual energy that incarnates, while the majority stays in the higher realms as the "Higher Self" to act as a guide.

These unique sessions are available at Micheal's Gong Studio, at Chase Farm near Blyth, South East Northumberland. Your individual session starts with a consultation. Then a treatment plan is agreed based on your needs, and your energy requirements. Other than jackets, coats and shoes it is not necessary to remove any other clothing. Micheal will help make you comfortable on his Chaise Longue sofa, and on cold days the room will be heated but you will also be offered  a blanket to keep you warm and comfy.

He will start by encouraging you to begin using a modified breathwork for several minutes, using a double breath in, a short pause, followed by a long slow deep breath out. This together with the eyes closed will help slow down your brainwaves, the body responds by releasing several happy hormones and as you approach the Alpha state. He will select and position up to 20 crystals, all of which are appropriate to your needs and requirements. The crystals will be placed on and around your chakras, face, head, hands,and feet. He will use his Rattles, Koshi Chimes, and Singing bowls, over and around your body to clear any energy blockages, and help prepare your body to raise its vibration. These instruments will add further layers of calm and relaxation as the session progresses. With the crystals positioned over the chakras, they are checked for their state of balance. Then each chakra is opened, starting from either the Earth star, Heart chakra or the Soul star. Crystals are charged and activated with Intent then left to do their healing. The combination of the Crystals, Instruments and Reiki intensifies your body's vibration even further and works on all levels to Repair, Renew, Rebalance and Revitalise you further. This session fully utilises Micheal's skills and abilities with merging different healing modalities and energies together.
