More on Ma'heo'o Reiki

Ma'heo'o, a Cheyenne word, means Great Spirit, Great Creator or Great Mystery. This system of energy combines the elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire with the Great Spirit to effectively promote and activate healing. Through the use of healing light and color, Ma’heo’o Reiki promotes calming, peace and relaxation.

This system combines the gentleness of Reiki with the raw power of the Earth elements. This unique style of Reiki beautifully combines the healing energy of Reiki with the ancient wisdom of the Native American peoples. Ma'heo'o Reiki was created by Rev. Sheryl “Rain” Carter, and employs symbols derived from the Native American Peoples and Mother Earth.

In Native American spirituality, the Great Spirit is manifested in all things. When an Indian Doctor heals someone, they first ask the Great Spirit to help in the healing. Meanwhile, Reiki is the application of Universal Life Force Energy. The healing energy of Reiki is transferred by one person to another.

What Is Ma'heo'o Reiki?

The tern Ma’heo’o Reiki is pronounced Mah-hay-oh-oh Ray-Key. Ma’heo’o is Cheyenne (a Native American language) for Great Spirit, Great One or God. Ma’heo’o Reiki combines the elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire with the Great Spirit to activate and promote healing. Simple yet powerful, this system can be used by anyone. Ma’heo’o Reiki combines the core teachings of Reiki with the Earth-based techniques of the Native People of our lands. It focuses on restoring balance to all of the natural elements within our bodies to that of Mother Earth and Great Spirit.

There are seven symbols that are incorporated into this healing system. The first four represent the four elements, thereby enabling us to connect with and channel Mother Earth’s energy. Combined with (and activated by) the last three symbols of Great Spirit, this becomes a very powerful system. It allows for a great energy channeling ability utilizing healing, light and color. Ma’heo’o Reiki promotes a higher intellect, grounded-ness, sense of calm, peace and relaxation. This system combines the gentleness of Reiki with the raw power of the Earth elements. Ma’heo’o Reiki can bring you into contact with your Spirit Totems, give you your sacred name and balance your body with the four elements of Earth.

There are 3 attunements involved in Ma’heo’o Reiki. The first two enable a better connection and a heightened sense of the elements through Mother Earth. Not only do the symbols allow harmony of the elements of Mother Earth, they also extend to the human condition. The third is the Master level which connects with Great Spirit. This enables you to harness the power of Earth and Spirit to effectively promotes your healing from within.
