REIKI / 26 Years of Experience
Profound (Self) Healing
Reiki – a path of personal growth and natural healing
Reiki is both a natural healing method and a path of personal development.
It is the gentle transfer of universal life energy through the hands from practitioner to receiver. During a Reiki treatment, the hands are softly placed on different positions of the body. By receiving this energy, the body’s natural self-healing ability is activated on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
The origin of Reiki
Reiki is one of the oldest natural healing methods known to humanity and has appeared in many cultures throughout history.
Its roots originate in Tibet and the system was rediscovered in the 19th century by the Japanese teacher Mikao Usui. Reiki is also known as:
The Usui System of Natural Healing
or
Usui Shiki Ryoho
Today Reiki is practiced all over the world and there are thousands of Reiki Masters internationally. A beautiful development is that Reiki is increasingly being used in holistic practices, hospitals and hospices as a supportive complementary therapy.
Reiki as personal growth
Many people choose to follow a Reiki course because they feel a deep inner calling to work on themselves.
Reiki often initiates a profound process of growth and self-awareness. Your intuition may become stronger and you begin to connect more deeply with yourself and your inner truth.
Each Reiki level brings a deeper layer of personal and spiritual development. This is why there should be time and integration between Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3.
The 3 Reiki Degrees
There are 3 Reiki Degrees in which you can be initiated:
Reiki 1
Focused mainly on the physical level and self-healing.
Reiki 2
Works more deeply on emotional and mental levels.
Reiki 3A & 3B (Master level)
Focused on spiritual development, consciousness and soul level integration.
It is very common for people to experience important life changes after a Reiki course.
And besides all personal growth… it is also very beautiful that you are able to support and treat others with Reiki.
Universal life energy
Universal life energy is present everywhere around us and within us.
When our energy becomes depleted over a longer period of time, we may become physically, emotionally or mentally exhausted. Reiki treatments help restore balance and vitality by allowing energy to flow naturally to the places where it is needed most.
A Reiki self-treatment or session may support healing on many different levels.
Possible effects of Reiki
Reiki may help to:
- Reduce stress and promote deep relaxation

Reiki is unique because of the initiations (attunements) you receive during the course.
During these initiations, energy is transferred, allowing life-force energy to flow more powerfully through you and your hands.
Reiki 1 course
- Duration: 1.5 days
- Includes 4 Reiki initiations
Each initiation may create a cleansing process on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. This period of cleansing usually lasts around 3 to 4 weeks after the course.
