Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy

Students often ask me if Reiki and shamanic healing can be bridged together. Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy brilliantly teach all of us that yes they can and more importantly show us how. There is a great need for Shamanic Reiki. This book teaches us about the power of love, light, and respect for all of life. Roberts and Levy did a magnificent job.

No ordinary book, Shamanic Reiki introduces the combination of Reiki and shamanism with rare empathy, wisdom and insight. This is a book that touches the heart of the human condition.

The alchemy of shamanism and Reiki is nothing less than pure gold in the hands of Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy. Shamanic Reiki brings the concept of energy healing to a whole new level. More than a how-to-book, it speaks to the health of the human spirit, a journey we must all complete.

Shamanic Reiki offers the gift of healing magic. A practical, relevant book with a depth that speaks to the soul, this is a vital reference for both shamanic and Reiki practitioners. Roberts and Levy provide all the skills needed to heal ourselves and others, and to know our souls more deeply. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in health and well being, with knowledge that can easily be put to good use in everyday life. This is one to keep and refer to often.

Shamanic healing techniques are helpful in removing obstacles on ones spiritual path. In the same way, they can help to remove similar energy blocks which create illness. The understanding of energy as a healing and wholing tool, described in great detail by the authors, 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 behind shamanic and energetic healing. All praise to Llyn and Robert for their fine work.

Finally we have an inspiring book that weaves together two important models of healing shamanism and Reiki. Roberts and Levy demonstrate clearly and gracefully from their own extensive practice how vital it is for everyone, whether client or healer, to be worthy channels and vessels of the Life Force. The authors are reliable and sensible guides who lead us gently into a deeper understanding of the dynamics of health and wellbeing.

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 ofAn 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 is a rainbow bridge between worlds, honoring the best of these worlds. The concept that shamanic ancient healing energy is similar to Reiki opens a new horizon combining the riches of both healing traditions. These teachings provide us with clues for how to participate with living earth wisdom.

Cleicha Toscano, Peruvian born shaman, healer and elder.

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 whatevers called for in the midst of healing. Shamanic Reiki gave me a lot of ideas for my own practice and variations to familiar techniques that I hope to explore.
