The Usui System of Natural Healing (Reiki)

The word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is Japanese for universal life-force energy. It can also be defined as “atmosphere of the divine”.

Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy, or chi, or prana) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability.

Sven is trained in the traditional Japanese style of Reiki called Gendai Reiki. More information about Gendai Reiki is available at Reiki Trainings.

Reiki Treatments

Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their body. The client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required. The simplicity of a Reiki session may raise some skepticism, however, after experiencing it, many clients keep coming back for more of those relaxing feelings. Reiki is simple and produces measurable results. It is power, light and love. Reiki energy works in concert with all other forms of therapy. It is a wonderful complement to other treatment.

What happens during a session?

The client, fully clothed, lies on the treatment table. The practitioner's hands remain in a stationary position, gently on or slightly above the body through several positions from head to toe. There is no manipulation of the skin or tissue. Reiki is not massage. Many individuals report feeling cold, pulsating heat, or a tingling sensation during a session, and most enter a calm, relaxed state. In some, chronic or acute pain can diminish or completely vanish. Sometimes allergies and other infirmities completely disappear. It's different for each person. It's important to remember that, whatever is troubling us, 'we didn't get this way overnight’ and we won't 'recover overnight’, either. Reiki is not any more magical than any other modality or allopathic medicine. Healing takes commitment and it takes time... one moment at a time.
