TRAUMA-SENSITIVE REIKI ZURICH & ONLINE

Reiki is love. Love is wholeness. Wholeness is balance. Balance is well being. Well being is freedom from disease. / Mikao Usui 

Trauma-sensitive Reiki Zurich & online | Dayana Gmünder

Japanese Reiki (rei: universal; ki: life force) is a gentle form of energy work with the aim of releasing energetic, emotional, mental and physical blockages so that we can fully engage in the process of this life. In my practice, I also use Reiki specifically to heal trauma, our inner child and our nervous system - so that insights reach not just our mind but our whole being. 
 
According to legend, this simple healing method was rediscovered by Mikao Usui at the end of the 19th century. But Reiki is not just the name of this method: Reiki is the universal life force that makes life possible for all living beings on earth. It is always and everywhere present, in and around us. Our body constantly absorbs this subtle energy from the environment in order to fulfill its basic functions.
 
Depending on how much energy we absorb and how freely it can flow through our body, we feel more or less vital and balanced. Energy stagnation, usually due to early childhood trauma, can lead not only to emotional numbness or overreactions in the long term, but also to physical discomfort. 


Reiki can be channeled and passed on with the help of the laying on of hands, among other things. The high vibration of Reiki energy is able to increasingly balance your energetic stagnation in the body and activate your self-healing powers. As a Reiki practitioner, I merely serve as a channel for this wonderful power and do not give away any of my personal energy. ​

How does Reiki work?

  • Focus Trauma Healing:

    • If you would like longer-term process support as part of Reiki therapy (as an alternative to psychotherapy or trauma therapy), I recommend an interval of 2 weeks between Reiki sessions. 

  • Focus Letting go of Beliefs, Gaining clarity:

    • If you have a single specific issue that is bothering you, I recommend 4-8 sessions 2-3 weeks apart for a profound process of change.  

  • Focus Crisis Management:

    • If you are in an acute crisis, it makes sense to shorten the intervals to one week. As Reiki always has a lasting effect, I recommend no more than one Reiki treatment per week. If you notice an improvement, you can extend the intervals.

  • Focus Relax & Recharge Energy:

    • If you simply want to recharge yourself out of self-care and find deep relaxation, a Reiki session here and there is sufficient.

 

  • If you want to enjoy Reiki energy more often, you can (soon) take a Reiki course with me so that you can treat yourself at any time.

How do I work?

​​​​​We are spiritual beings AND mammals. That is why it is important to me not only to work with energy, but also to respect our human aspects. I therefore always work intuitively AND trauma-sensitively. In other words, I... 

 

  • ask you before the Reiki Healing session whether you prefer to be in silence during the session or whether we should stay in conversation.

  • integrate NeuroAffective Touch, a wonderful method that combines psychotherapy and bodywork.

  • aspects of body psychotherapy according to Dami Charf and work in an attachment-oriented way.

  • always keep an eye on the state of your nervous system.

  • integrate honest sharing, The Work and inner child work.

Procedure of a Reiki session in Zurich

At the beginning of each session, we take time for a conversation. Together, we explore what is currently on your mind, what you are bringing to the session, and what you hope to gain from working with me. Depending on the situation, I may also integrate elements of trauma therapy during this part – always at your own pace and in a way that feels right for you.

This is followed by the Reiki treatment itself, which can last between 30 and 60 minutes. You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the massage table. During the treatment, I gently place my hands on or just above specific areas of your body. Usually, the front side of the body is treated first, followed by the back – from head to toe. Since I work intuitively, the flow of each session may vary slightly.

 

As Reiki flows through my hands into your energy system, your body is gently guided into a state of deep relaxation, where natural self-healing processes can be activated.

After the Reiki treatment, we take time again to talk about your experience. This may include impressions, inner images, or sensations – and we also explore how the experience can be integrated into your everyday life, and what might further support you moving forward.

A full Reiki therapy session in Zurich, including the initial and closing conversation, lasts 90 minutes.

Procedure of a
distance Reiki session

Since Reiki is not bound to time or place, a Reiki treatment can also take place over any distance. The condition is that the request comes from you as the Reiki recipient and that you give me your consent.
 

Distance Reiki is well suited to accompany difficult situations such as exams, job interviews, operations, etc. or if it is not possible for you to come to the practice. Distance Reiki has the same effect as an on-site treatment.
 
I will send you a Zoom link before a distance Reiki treatment. As with a Reiki treatment in Zurich, we will discuss your current state of health, your needs and any questions you may have. 

I will then send you Reiki for 30 minutes. During this time, you can make yourself comfortable in a place where you feel at ease and undisturbed. You are also welcome to listen to relaxing music and use essential oils, scented candles or incense sticks to involve all your senses. 


After the remote Reiki treatment, we will meet again on Zoom and exchange our experiences. A Reiki session online takes 60 minutes, including a pre- and post-talk.
