About the Author

Llyn Roberts has practiced Reiki for twenty years and began having shamanic experiences (seeing spirit guides and performing spirit extractions) during hands on healing sessions after Level Two. This led her to train with indigenous shamanic healers in remote locations and to teach others how to open the gateways to spirit. Robert Levy has been practicing, teaching, both leading and assisting in teaching Reiki as well as shamanic workshops since 1995. As Robert received his first attunement to become a Reiki practitioner after he had already begun his study of shamanism, Robert has always known the intrinsic value of combining these modalities.

Ross Heaven, author of Love's Simple Truths, The Way of the Lover, and Plant Spirit ShamanismShamanic healing techniques can help remove obstacles on ones spiritual path. In the same way, they can remove similar energy blocks which create illness. The understanding of energy as a healing and wholing tool is described in great detail by the authors and will help the Reiki practitioner understand some of the phenomena which can occur during (and as a result of) Reiki treatments. Shamanic Reiki is a wonderful, easy to follow instruction guide which illuminates the matrix underlying Shamanic andenergetic healing. All praise to Llyn and Robert for their fine work. Paula Horan, author of Exploring Reiki, 108 Questions and Answers.Finally we have an inspiring book that weaves together two important models of healing - Shamanism and Reiki.

The authors are reliable and sensible guides who lead us gently into a deeper understanding of the dynamics of health and wellbeing. Tom Cowan, author of Yearning for the Wind, Fire in the Head: Shamanism and the Celtic Spirit, Shamanism as a Spiritual Practice for Daily Life, and The Way of the Saints: Prayers, Practices, and Meditation.I have been healed by great shamans from many cultures and by great Reiki masters. I have felt the magical power of the two combined through personal healings from Llyn Roberts. Now, this incredible book, "Shamanic Reiki", opens the door for all of us. Llyn and Robert guide us on a journey into healing and self-discovery that integrates ancient techniques with the needs of our modern world. John M. Perkins, New York Times best selling author of Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, Shapeshifting, and The World Is As You Dream It."Shamanic Reiki" is a magnificent book. It honors and blends the timeless wisdom of ancient healing traditions with emerging new approaches and practical teachings. It functions as a rainbow bridge between worlds, honoring the best of these worlds. The concept that shamanic ancient healing energy is similar to Reiki offers a new horizon of wisdom that combines the riches of both healing traditions. These teachings provide us with clues for how to participate with living earth wisdom. Cleicha Toscano, Shaman and teacher from the Peruvian highlands."Shamanic Reiki" opens a valuable toolbox for those seeking to expand their traditional Reiki practice. Roberts and Levy offer a generous array of approaches, encouraging the reader to choose what works best for them according to their unique relationship to spirit and whatever's called for in the midst of healing.
