Reclaim Your Personal Power with Reiki and Shamanic Healing

In many ways, modern life pulls us in different directions. There’s always something demanding our attention — work, family, technology, responsibility. Over time, it’s easy to lose touch with the deeper sense of who we are beneath it all.

This month, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to reclaim your personal power and return to who you truly are. Not in an abstract or idealistic way, but in a deeply personal, embodied sense. The quiet awareness of your own truth. The strength that comes from knowing what matters to you. The ease that follows when you no longer have to perform or pretend.

This is at the heart of all my work. Whether someone comes to me for Reiki, a Shamanic healing, Coaching or a Reiki Course, what I see time and time again is this: the real transformation happens not when you become something new, but when you come home to who you’ve always been.

Reiki: Letting Go of What Isn’t You

Reiki offers a space where you can release what you’ve taken on that isn’t truly yours. Stress, tension, emotional residue — all of it accumulates quietly, often without us realising. Reiki doesn’t force anything. It works gently, supporting your body and energy system to clear out what no longer serves.

Clients often tell me that after a session, they feel lighter, more centred, more like themselves. That’s not a coincidence. Reiki clears the noise so you can hear your own inner voice again. It reconnects you to your natural state — one that’s steady, open, and aware.

Over time, Reiki also brings patterns into awareness. You start to recognise what drains you, where you’ve been overriding your own needs, and how to make different choices that feel more aligned.

One of my favourite books on the topic is* “The Inner Heart of Reiki” by Frans Stiene

Shamanism: Reclaim Your Personal Power

While Reiki helps shed the layers that don’t belong, Shamanic healing supports you in reclaiming parts of yourself that may have become disconnected or pushed aside. Sandra Ingeman offers the book* “Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self” as an excellent guide to this process.

Shamanism works on the understanding that we sometimes lose connection with aspects of ourselves — our confidence, our intuition, our joy — particularly during times of stress, trauma, or significant change. Through practices like soul retrieval or power retrieval, we can begin to welcome those aspects back to reclaim our personal power.

It’s a process that can bring deep clarity and inner confidence. People often say they feel more whole, more rooted, more confident after this kind of work. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you access what’s already yours so that you can move through life with greater ease and presence.

Together: A Return to Wholeness

When used together, Reiki and Shamanism form a powerful support system for inner growth and reconnection. One clears. The other restores. Both can do a little of each while honouring your wisdom, your pace, and your capacity to heal.

This work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you already are — before the world told you otherwise. It’s about recognising what matters to you, how you want to live, and what you’re ready to let go of.

It’s also about giving yourself permission to show up fully. To live in alignment with your own truth, not someone else’s idea of who you should be.

An Invitation to Reflect

If you’ve been feeling scattered, disconnected, or unsure of yourself lately, you’re not alone. Many of us are being asked to slow down and listen more deeply. To choose honesty over habit. To move closer to what feels real.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You only need to begin.

Ask yourself:

• What have I been carrying that no longer feels true?
• What part of me have I forgotten, or tucked away?
• What would it feel like to come back to myself, fully?

If you’d like support on that journey, I’m here. Whether through Reiki, Shamanic healing, or mentoring, this work is always about you — your path, your pace, your remembering.
