Reiki Level 1 (Shoden)
— Learn Reiki in Stockholm
Some people find Reiki because they’re searching for healing. Others find it because something inside them whispers yes.
If you feel drawn to energy work but can’t quite explain why, you’re in the right place. Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) is an initiation into a calm, intelligent healing energy—one that often strengthens intuition, softens stress patterns, and brings you back into contact with your inner guidance.
In this small-group training in Stockholm, you’ll learn the foundations of Reiki, how to work with energy safely, and how to build a steady practice for self-healing and supporting others—grounded in nervous system awareness and deep presence.
Shoden is where the journey begins.

Reiki Level 1 - Shoden (Stockholm)
Shoden = "beginning teachings". Most welcome to this first level of teachings of Reiki, a hands-on energy healing therapy to be used for your self or others.
Shoden is a Japanese word meaning ‘first teachings’. And as the word implies, this course is an introduction to Reiki, a hands-on energy healing therapy with its roots in Japanese origin. In this course you will learn tools to create health within, and for some it might also open up to get in touch with your intuitive gifts
Reiki can be translated as Universal Energy, or Spiritual Life Force. An intelligent and balancing energy, that anyone can tune into, that can help our body to heal on all levels: the physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual
Reiki has a gentle and non-intrusive way to open up the energy pathways and is an ideal practice for anyone who is interested or curious about energy medicine to expand your knowledge as well as develop spiritually and feel better in all our bodies. Reiki is wonderful to use on ourselves, loved ones (incl kids), our pets or as a compliment if you are already involved in healing or therapeutic work of any kind.
This 2 day course is a combination of lectures, discussion and hands-on-practice. We will be a small group of 6-10 persons.

FAQ Reiki Training
-
No. Level 1 (Shoden) is designed as a true beginning. You don’t need prior experience with Reiki, meditation, or any spiritual practice - just curiosity and a willingness to learn through both understanding and felt experience.
-
This training is first and foremost for you. Many people take Level 1 to support their own healing, nervous system balance, and inner clarity. If you later feel called to share Reiki with others professionally, Level 1 becomes a beautiful foundation.
-
First and foremost - you probably are more “spiritual” than you think. Your presence will be more important than the buzz word. ;)
Second, you don’t need a specific belief system for Reiki to be supportive. You can approach it as an energetic relaxation practice, a way to cultivate presence, and a hands-on method for calming the body and mind. You’re welcome exactly as you are—skeptical, curious, spiritual, scientific, or somewhere in between. -
After Level 1 you’ll be able to give Reiki to yourself and to others in a basic, safe, and structured way. You’ll know how to begin a session, how to place your hands, how to work with intention and boundaries, and how to build a steady practice you can return to in everyday life.
-
Yes - many people use Reiki with loved ones, including children, and with pets (lovely!!). We’ll talk about consent, gentleness, and how to keep it simple and respectful. Reiki is non-invasive, and often works best when offered softly, without forcing or “trying to fix.”
-
In general, Reiki is a gentle practice that many people experience as calming and regulating. That said, when the nervous system starts to soften, emotions can sometimes surface—especially if you’ve been holding a lot for a long time. In this training we work slowly, with grounding, choice, and nervous-system awareness. And you are always in charge of your pace, and my priority is always to hold a safe, grounded space for you.
-
That’s normal—and you’re not alone. People can feel deeply relaxed, tired, clear, sensitive, or emotional as the system integrates something new. We’ll create a safe container and I’ll guide you in how to ground, rest, hydrate, and support integration. Nothing is forced—everything is invited.
I’ve got you. -
Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) is a 2-day in-person training (approx. 8.30-15). We mix teaching, discussion, and hands-on practice in a small group. Exact times can vary by date, so please check the booking section for the current schedule.
-
There’s no one “right” timeline. Most people benefit from giving themselves time to practice and integrate Level 1 first—often a few weeks to a few months. If you already have a steady self-practice and feel clearly called, you may be ready sooner. You’re welcome to reach out and I’ll help you sense what timing is supportive for you.
-
It can be held in Swedish or English, depending on the group. If you have a preference, let me know when you book (or send me a message) and I’ll confirm what language the upcoming training will be held in.
