Feminist
Liberation
Theology
What does the Earth require of us now?
Devi Reiki™ is a new branch in the lineage of Reiki, articulated through a feminist, earth-centered theology of healing and liberation.
Earth as Devi
Trauma-Informed
Mission-Driven
This is not
New Age wellness.
Devi Reiki™ is a theological system expressed through healing practice. It articulates a feminist liberation theology, an earth-centered cosmology, and a trauma-informed spiritual ethic grounded in Reiki lineage and ritual energetics.
Devi Reiki™ is designed to awaken an embodied experience of the Divine as Devi—Shining Goddess—through the practice and teaching of Reiki.
Rooted in the Japanese system of Usui Reiki Ryōhō, Devi Reiki™ has evolved into a healing ministry for our time—integrating a trauma-informed lens, a proud spiritual feminist ethos, and a sacred connection to the many aspects of Devi, including Earth Herself.
It is not only a system of energy healing; it is a path of spiritual empowerment, awakening, and transformation.
Together, we are cultivating a global family of Devi Reiki™ practitioners and teachers—bringing healing, wisdom, and the living presence of Devi into hearts and minds around the world.
— Emery Star Lauten, founder of Devi Reiki™
Core Teaching
Earth as Devi
The Earth is not a resource. She is Shakti herself, the living Goddess, known across cultures as Gaia, Bhūmi Devi, Pachamama — the conscious ground of life.
Devi is a Sanskrit word meaning "Shining Goddess." The Earth herself is a Devi — a shining jewel of the universe, the only planet we know of that supports life. Reiki, meaning "Divinely Guided Life Force Energy," comes from Her.
This is not metaphor. This is cosmology. This is theology. This is an earth-honoring spiritual practice rooted in lineage, ritual, and embodied relationship.
"Reiki arises from the living field of the Goddess herself — cosmic in origin, earthly in expression, and transmitted through embodied relationship."
Emery Star Lauten, Founder of Devi Reiki™
"We are being called to a movement of love, service, and transformation. Devi Reiki™ is a path for those who answer."
— Emery Star Lauten, Founder
Why Devi Reiki™
exists now
Trauma-Informed
Devi Reiki™ rejects victim-blaming narratives common in New Age spirituality and the dominant culture. This is a trauma-informed practice grounded in relational compassion, where healing arises through deepening spiritual-somatic experience.
Feminist & Earth-Centered
A reclamation of divine feminine wisdom rooted in reverence for the Earth. Not patriarchal. Not male supremacist. Not dominion-over. In partnership with. A safe, embodied, spiritually mature approach to healing and Awakening.
Rooted in Lineage
Firmly rooted in the lineage of Usui Reiki, yet articulating a new theology. A new branch on the tree of Reiki, not a departure from it.
