Celtic Reiki was discovered by Martyn Pentecost, a Reiki Master/Teacher based in Croydon, U.K. who having studied various forms of Reiki for many years, was guided to work with nature. When channeling Reiki to help Animals, Plants, Trees, Rivers, Lakes, the Oceans and Earth itself, found that everything has a distinct vibration. Each variety of rock, each stream, each type of flower has its own unique energy. He found himself so deeply connected to these vibrations, he was able to mimic the energy during his Celtic Reiki sessions.
The Celtic Reiki System is one of evolution which has been used for centuries by the ancient Celts. The symbols used in a Celtic Reiki Sessions are from the ancient Celtic Ogham Alphabet.
The Celtic Ogham is the sacred Druidic alphabet, which was created by the Celtic spiritual leaders and used as a secretive method of communication, as well as a means of remembering their wealth of tree knowledge. It contained hidden secrets for divination and Magick that could only be understood by them. The alphabet was deeply connected with the trees, since the Celts had a strong affinity and reverence for them, believing that many were either inhabited by spirits or possessed their own. The Ogham alphabet was named after the Irish-Celtic God Ogma, the God of eloquence and learning. It consists of twenty letters (3 sets of five consonants and five vowels), each bearing the name of a Tree.
Celtic Reiki is a variation of Usui Reiki which uses vibrations of the earth and specific trees and shrubs in order to create an environment for healing and manifestation. The Reiki energy mimics the frequency of various trees and plants so as to work in accordance with channeled and Celtic wisdom.
As Celtic Reiki is an earth-energy Reiki, it is channeled up through the base Chakra rather than down through the crown. A very powerful experience to come and Enjoy!
