Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It was founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Dr. Mikao Usui. The Reiki therapist works as a channel for the universal life energy and passes it on to the client. It can be done by laying on hands or via distance. The Reiki System, which I have learned, follows the approach that the energy finds its way to where it is needed. Therefore, unlike in traditional Reiki, we do not work with fixed hand positions. Instead, the Reiki therapist is intuitively guided as soon as he has connected to the Reiki energy.

The reduction of stress and the experience of relaxation in a safe environment can help body, mind & soul to release other blockages in the client. This way the first steps towards a new inner balance can be taken. As a Reiki therapist I follow the so-called Reiki principles, which are the expression of the attitude of life to meet oneself and others with kindness, forbearance and love. They were developed by Dr. Usui, but until today they have been transformed several times in their tradition. They represent a wonderful signpost in everyday life and motivate us to follow the path of love every day anew.
