Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this system called Shamballa Multidimensional Healing?
We are multidimensional beings, who have been convinced for eons that we are only 3D. We have been living in the illusion of separation from Source and from all other beings. It is time to end that illusion, and to heal ourselves, to wake up to our multidimensionality.

Also, healing must be on all of our levels. We have many bodies, physical, emotional, mental, and many spiritual bodies as well. Each of these is a higher vibration than the last, the physical being the most dense, or lowest vibration. Imbalances in these other, higher vibrational bodies work their way down to the physical body, where they manifest as what we know as “disease”. Shamballa energies can heal us on all vibrational levels, in all of our dimensional aspects. And if we manage to heal some imbalance while it is still on the mental or emotional body level, we have saved ourself from the pain and inconvenience (and possible mortality) of physical disease.

All healing is self-healing. A person can facilitate healing for another by bringing in certain energies and surrounding them with these energies, or directing them into the body, but only the person him- or herself can accept the energies, and decide to release the old patterns of behavior that have brought on the dis-ease in the first place. There are no “healers”, only healing facilitators. All healing is ultimately self-healing.

What is the meaning of Shamballa?
Shamballa is a place in time and space where harmony, balance and love is the totality of the energy. Shamballa is the name of the “residence” of the Ascended Masters, those no longer in human body because they have realized their Wholeness, but who are still focused on helping the rest of humanity to realize their own freedom. This place Shamballa traditionally has been thought to be in the 5th Dimension, but now we know that Shamballa energies are on all dimensional levels. The energies we call Shamballa Multidimensional Healing are unconditional love & light healing energies from Source, directed through the diamond “body” of the collective consciousness of the Ascended Masters. The level of these energies that we can absorb and use is more now than ever before, and continues to grow as we expand into our true selves. Shamballa Multidimensional Healing clearings and activations are first and foremost geared to help us in this expansion into freedom called ascension. “Ascension” is a continual process, not a one-shot deal, and nowadays it involves raising the vibration of our physical body to the level that our higher self can merge with it and still walk & live on Earth.

What is the meaning of Multidimensional?
This energy can not only be used within the three dimensions of physical existence that most acknowledge here on Earth, but rather Shamballa holds within energies/love/facets of many dimensions and can be used to heal on all of those dimensional levels and beyond.

We exist on many vibrational levels. We are all familiar with the one-dimensional point, the 2-D words or drawings on paper, the 3D of a solid. Some are familiar with the concept of time being 4D and space being 5D. Some are familiar with the idea that our emotional body is 4D and our mental body 5D. Others understand the idea that nature spirits (which some can see but others can’t) are vibrating at a higher level, which we could call 4D; as are spirit beings some call “ghosts”. To those vibrating at a lower level, these beings seem to be transparent or invisible. Perhaps we appear transparent to a line or a point. It is just a matter of the vibrational level of our molecules and atoms, etc. Remember that higher and lower are not “better” and “worse”, just different.

Where does this system come from?
John Armitage/Hari Baba Melchizedek has brought this system forth from Germain and the rest of the Shamballa masters, or should I say Germain has used Baba as a channel for this energy to manifest on Earth at this time.

Germain called down the original system from Source during Atlantean days. He and his friends used the energies of that original 22-symbol system to raise the vibrations of the beings who were being used as slaves, so that they could no longer be used as slaves. This was the original “healing”, raising vibrations to help beings realize their own personal power and take their own freedom. That hasn’t changed, just expanded. The system now being brought through Hari Baba covers at least 352 levels of creation back to Source. I’m not sure exactly what that means, but it’s enough for me that it works as well as it does, and means empowerment through freedom and taking responsibility for ourselves.

What is happening during the initiations of Shamballa Basic, Shamballa Master-Healer-Teacher, 13-D Shamballa, and 13D Shamballa Master Teacher?
For one it is a firmer and clearer connection with your Godself [I Am Presence/Monad] with each new activation. This is not to say that everyone gets the same energy level at the same time, but as much as each one is able to handle at any given time and activation. So in one and the same class twenty different people get twenty different activations depending on their level of awareness, development, and needs (according to their purpose in body at this time).

Shamballa initiations open a person to receive whatever Shamballa energies they are ready to receive. I have had some students who have received all four levels of Shamballa energies (and perhaps beyond) in their first initiation [when we were teaching Shamballa levels 1-4]. Others do it in steps or stages, according to the will of their own I AM Presences and the clearing work they have done before and during the Shamballa workshop. The clearer one is, the more light can come in. Also the light coming in tends to shake up the lower vibrational areas, often causing clearings to continue AFTER the activations, sometimes for weeks or even months. The Shamballa energy is ever expanding, so we cannot pin it down into the old concept of boxes—this is Shamballa 1, and you get only this measured amount of light or whatever, no matter what. You get what you are ready for, and that makes you ready for more, and on and on!!!!!

What is the difference between Shamballa energy, The Mahatma Unconditional Love energy, and The Golden Flower of Life energy?
Shamballa is a special energy directed from Source through the Shamballa Diamond (the collective Ascended Masters and other beings who make up the Brotherhood of Light, or Shamballa). One can use it to facilitate healing for self and others once one has been activated to it. This is an evolutionary energy, which helps us to grow vibrationally under the guidance of our I Am Presence. Master Germain is in charge of grounding this energy in 3D at this time, through John Armitage/Hari Baba Melchizedek.

Unconditional Love [which IS the Mahatma energy, is the heart and soul of Shamballa Multidimensional Healing. It is a specific energy described as a golden-silver light with violet sparkles, that was first grounded on Earth in 1987 around the time of the Harmonic Convergence, through a being known this time around as Brian Grattan [previously as the apostle Peter, among other lifetimes]. Brian ascended WITH his body in 1996, paving the way for the rest of us. This Mahatma pure love without conditions from Source, or Mother/Father God, is a specific personal Love energy that has not been able to be grounded on Earth until these times, because back in Atlantean times people did not have sufficiently developed emotional bodies (they believed their emotional bodies to be detrimental to spiritual growth, so focused exclusively on the mind).

The Golden Flower of Life is the Seed Blueprint of Creation. This is the original pattern of life on Earth (most likely of life everywhere). It is symbolized by a series 6 of intersecting circles with a 7th in the center.

Does the Shamballa energy, The Mahatma Unconditional Love energy, and The Golden Flower of Life energy have different purposes in healing?
The purpose of all healing is—or at least should be—to facilitate wholeness in accordance with Divine will. This means that we as facilitators put all our desires in the hands of the Source. You can use the affirmation, “ I am one with Mother/Father God, I am an instrument of thy will” or “may all be done in accordance with the will of Source and each I Am Presence” or something similar.

“Shamballa on!” brings in the full spectrum of healing energies from Source through the collective consciousness of the Brotherhood of Light [sometimes called the Ascended Masters, although this body of beings is immensely vaster than that].

One can call around oneself the energies of their personal seed-blueprint, and instruct their own body to follow those instructions, in order to heal imbalances. Some see this as an egg of blue light. Of course, one must at the same time release the old attitudes which caused the imbalance in the first place, or the “healing” will not be permanent.

When you call it in, the Mahatma energy of pure Unconditional Love straight from Source travels down the tube of light [Antahkarana] connecting your chakras, connecting you to Source and to the Earth (when properly activated). You may fill your being with this light, surround yourself, and surround others, personally and collectively. Then they are able to bring it into themselves, if they wish to. It is not something imposed on others, as the other energies as well are only given according to the free will of the recipient. You could do this for people as you walk down the street; a smile is also nice. You can activate yourself with this Mahatma energy every morning, and send it out to the world, the earth, wherever you like, inviting others to accept it as they will. You can bring it into your own thymus palace, filling yourself with unconditional love energies, whenever you wish, especially whenever you feel yourself succumbing to the energies of fear. Remember that fear and love cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and Love is all there is; fear is illusion. So use the Mahatma energy to bring yourself out of illusion into truth, into love, into reality, if you will.

Can children become Shamballa MDH practitioners?
What is the proper age to receive an activation? They can be activated as early as in their mother’s womb. If a pregnant woman is activated her child receives the activations as well. There is no proper age. Only the “right” time for each individual. The Godself [I Am Presence] knows the answer. The child’s Godself will allow it to happen when the time is ripe.

What is the difference between Shamballa MDH and Reiki systems?
Germain says that Shamballa is not Reiki, and Reiki is not Shamballa. He has instructed that Shamballa teachers and practitioners not use the term “Reiki” at all. We have moved beyond the use of symbols, as well, so we no longer use or teach them. WE are the energy, not a 2-dimensional representation that is separate from us [which is what a symbol is].

Reiki was put together by the Japanese Buddhist monk, Dr. Usui, from ancient symbols he found in Sanskrit texts, rounded out by some Buddhist symbols. 3-4 of his original symbols are what has come down to us from Germain’s original 22-symbol Atlantean system (see FAQ #4). Reiki was what people were ready for in the beginning of the 20th century, and it remains a wonderful healing energy. We are ready for so much more now! It is good to grow and be ready to expand with the energies and with the times. Shamballa is what Reiki has grown into, and beyond. The Shamballa symbols/energies grow and expand along with the Earth, their vibrations rise along with hers. The non-Atlantean symbols of Reiki do not grow, but remain in their old vibration, which back then was highly advanced but nowadays has been surpassed. We are ready to move on, with gratitude. This is not to say that Reiki energies no longer work, or to cast any aspersions on the Reiki system, which is very beautiful. Also, many Reiki practitioners have been channeling new symbols and ways of teaching. But Reiki is not Shamballa, and Shamballa is not Reiki.

What is the difference between a Shamballa MDH activation and a Reiki system initiation?
Multidimensions! Shamballa contains the best of and moves beyond traditional Reiki. I do not know about the other Reiki systems around nowadays. I have met people who seem to be growing along with their Reiki, and new systems pop up constantly. Mari-el was an attempt awhile ago to move beyond the constrictions of traditional Reiki. Whatever works for you. I personally have been attuned to Reiki up through Master, and then Shamballa. I would not go back to simply Reiki.

What is the purpose of symbols?
We used to use the symbols to focus on a specific part of the Shamballa energy. Some symbols worked on certain issues. But nowadays Germain says WE ARE the energy, and calling in this or that symbol for this or that energy is limiting. Once you are activated to Shamballa, saying “Shamballa on!” brings in the full spectrum [352 “symbols” and more] to be used as the person needs it.

Can I do the Shamballa MDH healing without using symbols?
You most certainly can, just say, “Shamballa on!” No symbols are needed during Shamballa MDH. See FAQ# 11 above.

Can the Shamballa MDH energy being used to heal other life forms, such as plants, animals, and even spiritual entities?
Yes it can. Shamballa energy is love and does not ask what kind of a living form or energy form it is being transmitted to. What it does is that it brings imbalance into balance and disharmony into harmony, dis-ease into wholeness and freedom..

Can the Shamballa MDH initiation being given to someone who has already passed away?
I have heard of this, but have not tried it myself. The person would have to ask for it, and you would have to be able to receive the communication. Other than that, why not?

What is Shamballa MD Healing?
Shamballa MD Healing is not a technique but a way of facilitating wholeness and freedom. It is about self empowerment through LOVE, it is about the empowerment of others through LOVE, it is LOVE living in non-judgement and without fear. You can help others become whole with this energy.

Shamballa MD is multicolor, multidimensional, multi-frequency group-consciousness that holds most of the energies that humans have given various names before until we were given this extraordinary gift of the oneness in the Shamballa diamond. This gift has a special ability of expanding as we expand our consciousness. More colors are added (colors that the human eyes have never seen before or sensed); more dimensions, planes and higher frequencies are also added to Shamballa. It reaches throughout the Creation. We can use Shamballa MD to send love (healing) to our fellow travelers on earth, but also to fellow travelers on other dimensions throughout the Universe and All of Creation.

The answers come from Phyllis Brooks who have been Shamballa MD master teacher since 1998 when she were initiated by John Armitage, the founder of Shamballa Multidimensioal Healing.
