Usui Reiki Level 1 Training & Certification at Schweibenalp, Switzerland
Learn Reiki for Self-Healing, Energy Healing & Becoming a Certified Practitioner
May 15, 9:00am-6:00pm Schweibenalp, Brienz
Reiki is an ancient yet simple healing technique, used in clinical settings as well as for personal self-treatment. Level 1 introduces the fundamentals: hands-on technique, energy awareness, and how to begin healing yourself and the people closest to you.
Developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan during the early 1900s, Reiki is founded on the theory that channelling one's own energy can restore the body and mind's natural balance, a foundation you'll build on through every level that follows.
Benefits of Reiki for Body, Mind & Well-Being
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that may support deep relaxation, stress reduction, emotional balance, inner peace and greater self-awareness. Some people also report relief from physical tension or discomfort.
Reiki is also increasingly offered in some hospitals and healthcare settings to support comfort and well-being, including around surgery, cancer care and maternity care.
An important aspect of Reiki is that practitioners not only give Reiki but also receive Reiki while offering a session, supporting both the receiver and the practitioner.
Regular Reiki practice may support:
• deep relaxation and reduced stress
• emotional balance and self-awareness
• inner peace and overall well-being
• relief from physical tension or discomfort
• personal and spiritual growth

Punnu Wasu is a Reiki Grand Master with more than 35 years of experience in Reiki, meditation, yoga and various holistic healing modalities. He grew up in a family deeply rooted in spirituality and kirtan, and began learning and singing kirtan at the age of five.
Before he began teaching, Punnu spent over 20 years deepening his own practice, study and personal development. Over the years, he has trained in different Reiki traditions and studied with several Reiki Masters.
He received Usui Reiki Level I training from US Reiki Master Kandy Beth Brandt in Russia. He later continued his Reiki studies in India with Reiki Grand Master Dr. Kanta Nagpal, completing Usui Reiki from Level I through Grand Master level, as well as Karuna Reiki, over several years.
For more than 15 years, Punnu has also offered private Reiki and various holistic healing sessions at The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali, and at various venues across Switzerland, including Schweibenalp. In addition, he works with people internationally while traveling and through online sessions.

Completing my Reiki Grand Master Training with Punnu was a deeply moving and transformative experience.
What touched me most was the way Punnu shares Reiki with so much presence, wisdom and sincerity. His teaching feels grounded in many years of personal practice and experience.
Throughout the training, I felt that I was not only learning techniques and receiving knowledge, but also deepening my own connection to Reiki on a much more personal level.
The whole experience felt very complete, supportive and meaningful. I’m truly grateful that I chose to continue my Reiki journey with Punnu and for everything I was able to take away from these special days.
