In 1996 an amazing new energy was brought to this world from St. Germaine (the source of Reiki) through a master teacher: Hari Das Melchizedek. Because of all the work people on earth have been doing to raise their frequencies, St. Germaine was able to send this very high vibration through to us. It is actually an extension of the Reiki energies. He has asked that it be called Shamballa Multidementional Healing - Shamballa for short.

Shamballa builds on the original Reiki system by adding to it. Because Shamballa is easier to teach than Reiki, you can learn each level in a few hours. Thus it is less expensive and time consuming. Like Reiki, it is the energy of love, which comes through your heart chakra to help you heal yourself and others. The healing abilities you acquire when you are taught Shamballa are only a by-product. The major purpose of attunement is to allow the student to bring in higher energies which will help enhance spiritual evolution. In other words, by bringing Shamballa into your life you allow more healing love energy to come into the world. You become part of the solution to world peace and prosperity. It is vital that as many people as possible, as quickly as possible bring in this love energy. The goal is to bring in the light, which this love energy provides, as easily and quickly as possible to a critical mass of people, thus bringing the entire world to a new level in its evolution.

There are four levels of attunement or initiation into Shamballa. The first level allows you to do self healing and direct healing of others. The healing takes place in about five minutes. You simply intuit where your hands need to be and place them there. Even if you don't find the 'right' spot, the energy goes where it is needed. Anyone can be attuned and thus be capable of self healing. You need no special skills to be able to practice Shamballa. You don't even need to believe in it. You need only to be open to trying it;

The second level of Shamballa allows you to mentally send healing energies to people or places long distance. You are given symbols to use to make this possible. You voice the names of the symbols, think of your target, and you 'turn on' the Shamballa energy. Think of it as turning on a radio and tuning into your favorite station. Two hundred years ago if you had predicted long distance talking boxes people would have thought you crazy. Today they are commonplace. Soon sending to and receiving energy from people long distance will become commonplace as well.

The third level adds more symbols, is stronger than level II and allows you to start attuning Shamballa level I students. The Fourth level is the Master level. A Shamballa Master student receives a total of 352 symbols when she/he is attuned to this level. Before you say "I can never remember that many symbols" rest assured they are placed directly into your energy field and appear as needed when you work with Shamballa. At this level you receive symbols that aid healing on a spiritual level. At Level IV you are taught to do attunements for others on all four levels. Although that may not be your intent for learning Shamballa, you may be surprised to find yourself drawn to share it with others once you reach levels III and IV.

Shamballa can be used for other purposes besides healing people on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. You can use it to heal pets and plants, energetically cleanse your work space or home, bless your food, increase the sight of your third eye, increase the power of crystals and remedies, make your way through traffic jams, and help fix your car. You may find the last use a bit farfetched, but allow me share a true story one of my students told me. On her way to work one day, her car stopped. It would not go no matter what she tried. She used Shamballa on it as a last resort. The car started and she went to work. So far this is not so remarkable a tale. However, at the end of the day, when she had to have her car towed, the mechanic couldn't understand how she had driven to work. A wire which is essential in keeping the car going was broken. He told her the car should not have run. Coincidence or Shamballa?

We are living in an exciting time of change from being more matter than light (energy) to being more light than matter. Shamballa has been sent to us to make it easier to make this transition. Up until now change has been more complicated. We were bogged down in ritual which did not move us very far toward the light. Shamballa is simple. It brings us self empowerment by helping us see the light within and understanding that we are all in this together. What affects others affects us and visa versa. When people come to truly understand this, the world will start to heal.
