Reiki

Ancient chinese therapy for more balance within.  

Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei," which means universal, and "ki," which means life energy or vital force.

Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy. In some countries, Reiki is offered as a relaxation method with effects related to pain relief, stress reduction, and relaxation in hospitals. Traumas and pains, as well as blockages, can be gently processed or resolved through this type of energy healing, supporting the process.

Some people report feeling more relaxed and balanced after Reiki sessions, while others may not experience significant effects right away.

  • It's important to note that while many people report experiencing a profound sense of inner peace and relaxation through Reiki, individual experiences may vary.

  • Reiki is thought to help release trapped or suppressed emotions stored in the body. By channelling energy and promoting relaxation, Reiki may facilitate the release of negative emotions, allowing individuals to experience emotional catharsis and a sense of relief.

  • Reiki induces a deep state of relaxation, calming the nervous system and reducing stress. Chronic stress can deplete energy levels, so by reducing stress, Reiki helps conserve and restore vital energy.

  • Reiki emphasizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Through Reiki, individuals can become more attuned to the sensations and energy flows within their bodies, fostering a deeper understanding of their physical and emotional experiences.

Meet Rahel, a certified Reiki & Yin Yoga practitioner who made her own healing journey through the therapy of Reiki & Yin.

After working in corporate Switzerland most of her life, she began to explore the roots of her trauma & depression. After being diagnosed with HSP, the pressure and the fast paced life no longer served her wellbeing.

In 2019, Rahel made the life-changing decision to leave Switzerland behind in search of a deeper truth in healing. She embraced a slower, more mindful lifestyle centred around photography and yoga in Sri Lanka. During challenging moments, Reiki and Yin yoga became her saving grace, providing solace and strength.

“In Yoga, Reiki, and Meditation, I find the art of conscious living. Each practice is a canvas for self-discovery, a journey to authenticity. My purpose goes beyond teaching; it's about creating a space where you are truly seen and heard.”
