STUDENT COMMENTARIES on my Japanese REIKI classes:
Jessica Mills, Australian (SHODEN level):
Hey Stephen, its been a month since I last saw you and the 'detox' went great!
Had some headaches and felt tired, bit moody etc but now I'm feeling good. I
love giving myself reiki. I almost can't wait to do it sometimes and I found the
attitude of gratitude meditations extremely helpful. I definitely released some
overdue beliefs that were blocking my life. Also I really like the precepts I
find them really grounding, I say them every morning and night and I feel my
body posture react to them in a good way. yes I think my posture is improving!
:). So I just want to say a big thank you and let you know I'm very happy
I met you and that reiki is now a part of my life. I can't remember the last
time I felt love like this towards myself on a continuous basis. I feel blessed
to have been your reiki student.
Carl Chaffee, American living in Dijon (SHODEN level):
Finding a teacher is always difficult- the yellow pages don't always work. I was referred to Stephen by an associate of his. We did a two day (weekend) training for Level 1- Shoden. It was well organized, and I felt at all times that Stephen was tuned into my needs and perceptions. He made me feel that I was receiving what was promised. I also enjoyed his awesome attunements! We had two sessions with other students where I was able to practice both giving and receiving while FEELING the strength and peace of the Reiki treatments. I continue to do Reiki on myself each day and others on a regular basis. I know the difference it has made in both my life and the lives of others. Highly recommended!
Carl Chaffee (OKUDEN level):
The class was an excellent extension and complimentary to the initial Shoden seminar. I learned the use of symbols and the associated chants. I have used those effectively since in the class and feel that they have improved the quality of the Reiki to both myself and others.
Stephen was an excellent master in taking me through the new learning. Please feel free to contact me if you wish at [email protected] for additional thoughts or comments.
Emma Jaynes, British (Shoden level)
I just wanted to write a little note about my Shoden level 1 training. I had previously been attuned to level 1 before I met Stephen, but I felt that I wanted to go back to the beginning and start again with the Japanese lineage.
The 2 day training course was jam-packed with information, exercises and guidance. Stephen is warm and giving teacher, who guides you but lets you figure things out for yourself by encouraging you to be led by how you feel.
The course book has been absolutely invaluable to me since finishing the course, and I often dip into it for information and guidance.
For all that the course itself was excellent, and the materials have helped me; the best thing I think about doing Shoden with Stephen is the ongoing support and encouragement. Stephen has never stopped working with me, as a teacher and friend, and has offered me ongoing support and guidance that you rarely find with any other teacher.
Thank you and warmest wishes,
Emma [email protected]
ANNA NORDIN, Swedish (SHODEN level):
Im grateful for my time in Paris and all people that have inspired me and taught me things that makes me stronger.
Thanks Steven for teaching me Reiki.
I bless you with a life in Joy, Love, and Freedom!
SYLVIE BOURDENET, French (SHODEN level):
I enjoyed my weekend with Stephen, I already did a first
reiki level few years ago and wanted to refresh my
knowledge.
I was glad and it was definitely worth it. Stephen explained
me the traditional reiki and reviewed with me the basis. It
was a great reiki weekend and we finished with a reiki share
with other practitioners, wonderful experience!
Thanks again Stephen!
STÉPHANIE FROBERG, Australian (Shoden level):
I am pleased to have taken level 1 Traditional Japanese Reiki with Stephen, there is a lot of information to digest and I found it beneficial that it was spaced over 2 days, leaving time to recover and discuss questions. Stephen does his best to make you comfortable and refreshed throughout the course. My overall experience was very positive and has provided me with much clarity. Thank you Stephen :)
STEPHANIE FROBERG (Okuden level):
I am very grateful to have met Stephen and been introduced by him, to the system of Reiki. Stephen has been supportive and encouraging throughout my entire journey with Reiki (levels 1 and 2), and I consider him a great asset, teacher and friend. Anyone interested in learning about Reiki, I highly recommend reaching out to Stephen.
JOAN F. (Shoden class in New Orleans)
I’m very happy that I took the level 1 Traditional Japanese Reiki with Stephen. I had never been particularly interested in Japanese culture, but I have always been interested in spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. After the two day workshop, I began to practice the “self-healing” meditation every day. I feel like it is a pathway to new calm and clarity.
STEPHANIE D. (Shoden class in New Orleans)
"I was very glad to have the opportunity to take a Japanese Reiki course level 1 with Stephen. It was good to learn new methods of meditation and relaxation from him, as mediation had always proved difficult to me. We learned about the history of Reiki and different methods of self healing and healing others in a fun and comfortable environment. I look forward to developing on my technique and learning more about mediation. Highly recommended
YVES CONAN, French (KOTODAMA class):
je n'ai ni expériences ni pensées, enfin pas beaucoup, la récitation des kotodamas induisant chez moi un état de présence, je suis un peu comme une grenouille posée là, et qui éventuellement gobe une mouche qui passe par là, mais sans attente particulière.
Je récite le CKR/Symbol 1 assez régulièrement ce qui semble affaiblir le tourbillon des pensées, c'est ce que je viens de dire.
Rita B (Reiki Master/Teacher), French (Kotodama Class):
"Beside it being a great spiritual moment shared with you it made sense to complete my knowledge of Reiki with Kotodama which is today an essential part of my personal practice and teachings.

RECONNECTIVE HEALING TESTIMONIALS (from ex-SwampREconnection site):
Comment je me sens ? Mieux. J'ai été assez groggy après le soin de reconnexion. Le lendemain, j'étais très mal sans pouvoir expliquer ce qui n'allait pas. J'avais un atelier que j'ai assumé tant bien que mal, mais MIRACLE, j'ai pu m'exprimer tranquillement sur un sujet qui me tenait à coeur et que je ne pouvais pas identifier avant. Donc j'ai gangné en clarté et en prise de décision. Depuis, je vais nettement mieux et je me sens plus légère, comme un poids qui est parti.
FLORE F. (France, 2011) 1 session "Après une soirée de présentation sur la reconnexion, Stephen, m'a proposé un soin reconnectif que j'ai accepté. Pratiquant le Reiki depuis 5 ans, j'ai été très surpris de voir la puissance et l'efficacité extraordinaire de cette technique. J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'amour que Stephen transmet, sa présence et son grand respect pour la vie.Merci beaucoup pour cette découverte toute nouvelle et merci de transmettre cette énergie magnifique." THIBAULT P. (France, 2011) 1 session " Le soin reconnectif a été pour moi une grande découverte de par le bien être que celà m'a apporté, je me suis vraiment sentie relaxée, détendue, heureuse de vivre. C'est aussi un moyen de se découvrir ou se redécouvrir intérieurement. Pour moi, ce fut une agréable surprise !! ELODIE P. (New Orleans, Louisiane, 2011) 3 sessions J'ai eu la chance de prendre trois séances de guérison Reconnective avec Steve. Dans l'ensemble, c'était une expérience éducative élevant, aimant et « énergie ». J'ai approché les sessions avec un véritable intérêt, mais sans les attentes spécifiques. Je suis moi-même un Maître Reiki. Et, très récemment j'ai lu le livre de Eric Pearl sur ses découvertes Reconnective. Durant toutes les trois séances, je me sentais un flux intensif d'énergie. Je pense que ce flux tout sauf subtil d'aimer le pouvoir avait touché de chaque cellule dans mon corps. Même maintenant, chaque fois que je ferme les yeux et la place de mes pensées sur cette expérience, j'ai encore ressenti. Il simplement flows…and m'amène beaucoup de pensées heureuses, la relaxation, la même excitation. Mon mari a également pris trois sessions. Il rapporte de nombreuses améliorations dans son état de santé, tant physique que psychologique. Merci, Steve, pour cette découverte extraordinaire ! ALICJA L.P. (France, 2011) 3 sessions "Distance Healing TESTIMONY": dans les arts de la guérison, il y a de nombreux praticiens. Cependant, il y a quelques qui je considérerais d'être maîtres guérisseurs. Stephen Swartz est véritablement un master en facilitant la guérison. La plupart des gens ont la guérison des séances en personne, mais il peut également être fait longue distance. Actuellement, je vivre à Raleigh, en Caroline du Nord et a demandé une guérison lointain de Stephen qui se trouvait à Paris, France. L'expérience a été remarquable ; C'était comme s'il étaient dans la salle avec moi. Suis un métaphysicien et ayant expérience plusieurs années de, il est rare que je recommanderais n'importe qui. Cependant, avoir subi sa guérison cadeau, c'est avec confiance que je vous recommande de Stephen afin de faciliter votre guérison. Ses dons sont extraordinaires et il se soucie vraiment aider les autres. Mon experience par distance avec lui: J'expose en détail ce que je me sentais dans l'ordre qu'elle s'est produite. J'ai d'abord posé un peu avant l'heure de se détendre, de méditer et d'accepter ma guérison. Tout d'abord, j'ai eu des douleurs dans l'oeil gauche. Le côté gauche de mon corps senti plus léger que le côté droit. Je pouvais sentir l'énergie dans tout le côté gauche du corps. Les deux mains tremblaient la douleur dans l'oeil s'est affaissé et s'installe au Centre de la cheville droite extérieure, déplacé vers le haut à travers la shin au genou, puis s'est affaissé. Douleur puis s'est produit dans l'oeil droit pendant un certain temps puis s'est affaissé main gauche est venu jusqu'à et à l'extérieur à un poste directement à gauche, aucun stress ou d'inconfort. J'ai essayé de le déplacer le long de côté mais ne pouvait pas. À un moment vers la fin, il ressenti comme mon corps était sur le point de monter plus haut. J'ai formulés pendant une sensation de grande paix et donne la grâce Roy Solomon. Msc.D., PhD. (Raleigh,USA 2011) www.answerwithinhealing.com .. je me sens avec plus d energie, je méditais mais la mes capacités de lâcher prise et de concentration ont augmenter. les situations de synchronicités se sont accélérer. ma communication avec les anges est plus direct et simple.j ai vécu l' expérience de leurs présences air froid, objet qui bouge, sur demande une bougie a continuer a s'éclairer alors qu'il n'y avait plus de cire c'était incroyable. je vis aussi des réponses beaucoup plus rapide a mes questions. parfois j entends de très beaux chants et notamment quand je prends le métro pour aller au travail.j ai eu beaucoup de révélation sur moi sur mes vies antérieurs. enfin, voilà merci merci beaucoup Stephen car je sais que le soin qui a été fais en bonne partie grace a toi m'a permis vraiment d'évoluer...... Vanessa L. (FRANCE, 2011) 1 session Je ne connaissais pas du tout les soins reconnectifs et j'ai été assez curieux suite à une présentation chez Stéphen. De nature assez sceptique je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose, mais j'ai tout de même été surpris de l'état de profonde relaxation durant les séances, assez difficile d'expliquer par les mots, mais c'était très agréable, je me suis même surpris à rire. En sortant je me suis vraiment senti relaxé et conscient. Je garde un très bon souvenir de cette expérience. Merci Stephen. Nicholas G. (France 2012) 3 sessions Sortir de la 1ere session mes facultés odeur ont été multipliées - mais aussi pendant un certain temps maintenant, j'ai eu un sentiment de tristesse constant et le manque de foi. Depuis la session - je ne dirais pas ma foi est fort mais le sentiment de tristesse et de jugement de soi a été atténué. Laila K. (France 2012) 2 sessions J'ai dépensé beaucoup de mon temps avec ma pierre de maldovite après mes trois sessions. J'ai eu beaucoup de revelations spirituel, toutes les sortes de pensées et les aperçus qui étaient je jamais curieux d'auparavant, mais nécessaires dans ma vie. Je suis entré en contact avec mon guide d'esprit. Je bois de l'eau toute la journée et communique complètement différemment. J'ai tant de pierres, cristal, des bougies et des livres inspirants comme les enseignements du Wayne Dyer et le I Ching. C'est incroyable et j'attends avec impatience ce qui doit venir ........ Catherine G. (New Orleans, Louisiane 2012) 3 sessions Je suis juste revenu des Docteurs aujourd'hui et disons que tout est excellent maintenant et je ne devrais pas le voir de nouveau. Mon intention pour les Reconnexions était d'adresser à cette question de santé. Je suis soulagé :))))) Merci! Suad Kelkal (France 2013) 3 sessions Ma première session avec Stephen m'a laissé sentant très détendu et calme, bien qu'un peu groggy ensuite. Pendant la session j'ai senti un sens incroyable de juste étant présent dans the "Now" et toutes les autres pensées sont tombées au côté. Je pensé que le temps s'était arrêté et l'expérience était en général très paisible. Merci, Stephen. Client féminin (la France 2013) 3 sessions |
How do I feel? Better. I was pretty groggy after the session reconnective. The next day, I was very difficult to explain what was wrong. I had a workshop that I served hard, but MIRACLE, I had to speak calmly about a subject I am devoted at heart and that I could not identify before. So I have ganined in clarity and decision making. Since I'm much better and I feel lighter, as if a weight has departed.. FLORE F. (France ,2011) 1 session
" After an evening of presentation on the reconnexion, Stephen, offered me a reconnective healing session which I accepted. As a practitioner of Reiki for 5 years, I was very surprised to see the power and the extraordinary efficiency of this technique/modality. I appreciated a lot the love which Stephen passes on, his presence and his immense respect for life. Thank you very much for this totally new discovery and thank you for passing on this magnificent energy. " THIBAULT P. (France, 2011) 1 session " The Reconnective Healing session was for me a big discovery due to the state of well-being that it brought me. I really felt relaxed, and happy to be alive. It is also a great way to discover or rediscover just what we are on the inside. For me, it was a pleasant surprise!! ELODIE P. (New Orleans, Louisiana, 2011) 3 sessions I had the chance to take three Reconnective Healing sessions with Steve. Overall, that was an elevating, loving, and “energy” educative experience. I approached the sessions with a true interest, but without any specific expectations. I am myself a Reiki Master. And, quite recently I read Eric Pearl’s book on his Reconnective discoveries. During all three sessions I felt an intensive flow of energy. I think that this anything but subtle stream of loving power had touched every cell in my body. Even now, whenever I close my eyes and place my thoughts on that experience, I still feel it. It simply flows…and brings me lots of happy thoughts, relaxation, even excitement. My husband also took three sessions. He reports numerous improvements in his health condition, both physical and psychological. Thank you, Steve, for this extraordinary discovery! ALICJA L.P. (France, 2011) 3 sessions "DISTANCE HEALING TESTIMONY": In the healing arts there are many practitioners. However, there are but a few who I would consider to be master healers. Stephen Swartz is truly a master in facilitating healing. Most people have healing sessions in person, but it can also be done long distance. I currently live in Raleigh, North Carolina and requested a distant healing from Stephen who was in Paris, France. The experience was remarkable; it was as if he were in the room with me. Being a Metaphysician and having many years’ experience, it is rare that I would recommend anyone. However, having experienced his healing gift, it is with every confidence that I recommend Stephen to facilitate your healing. His gifts are extraordinary and he truly cares about helping others. MY Distance EXPERIENCE WITH HIM: I will detail what I felt in order as it occurred. I first laid down a little before the appointed time to relax, meditate and accept my healing. First, I had pain in the left eye. The left side of my body felt lighter than the right side. I could feel energy in the entire left side of the body. Both hands twitched The pain in the eye subsided and moved to the center of the outer right ankle, then moved upward through the shin to the knee, then subsided. Pain then occurred in the right eye for a while then subsided Left hand came up and off to a position directly out left, no stress or discomfort. I tried to move it back along side but couldn’t. At one point near the end, it felt like my body was about to rise above. I laid there for a while feeling great peace and gave thanks. Dr. Roy Solomon, MscD. PhD. (Raleigh NC, USA, 2011) www.answerwithinhealing I feel more energy, when I meditate my abilities to let go and concentration have increased. situations of synchronicities are accelerating. my communication with the Angels is more direct and simple. I ' ve lived experiences of feeling a presence of cold air, objects moving, on my command a candle continued to burn when there was no more wax ; incredible! I receive answers quicker than my questions. sometimes I hear beautiful songs and including when I take the subway to go to work. I've had a lot of revelations regarding my previous lives. Finally, this thank you: thank you so much Stephen because I know that the care that you imparted during our session, has helped me to continue to evolve.... Vanessa L. (France, 2011) 1 session I knew nothing of Reconnective Healing and I was quite curious following a presentation at Stéphen's. Somewhat of a skeptical nature I did not 'expect too much, but I was surprised by the State of deep relaxation during sessions, quite difficult to 'explain with words, but all evolved very pleasantly, I was even surprised to laugh. Upon leaving, I really felt relaxed and aware. I keep a very good memory of this experiences with me. Thank you Stephen. Nicholas G. (France 2012) 3 sessions Coming out of the 1st session my smelling faculties were multiplied - but also for a while now I have had a feeling of constant sadness and lack of faith. Since the session - I would not say my faith is strong but the feeling of sadness and self judgement has been alleviated. Laila k. (France 2012) 2 sessions I've spent a lot of my time with my maldovite stone after my three sessions. I've had a lot of spiritual revalations, all kinds of thoughts and insights that was i never curious about before but needed in my life. I've contacted my spirit guide. I drink water all day and communicate completely differently. I have so many stones, crystal, candles and inspirational books like Wayne Dyer's teachings and the I Ching. it's incredibleand I am looking forward to what's to come...... Catherine G. (New Orleans, Louisiana 2012) 3 sessions After the Ist session with Stephen, I got off the table and exclaimed , "That felt like 10 Reiki sessions rolled into one"! After my 3rd session, I went to see my medical Doctor and let's say that everything is fine now and I might not have to see him again. My intention for the Reconnections was to address this health issue. I am relieved :))))) Thank you! Suad Kelkal (France 2013) 3 sessions My first session with Stephen left me feeling very relaxed and calm, although a little groggy afterwards. During the session I felt an incredible sense of just being present in the now and all other thoughts fell to the side. I felt like time had stopped and the experience overall was very peaceful. Thank you, Stephen. Female client (France 2013) 3 sessions |
