About me
Who is the person who reads your energy field? I am Rico Brunner, I have been working in my practice in St. Gallen since 1998, and it took me a long time to know how I want to work.
Research · about me
For me it was never about perceiving special things. For me it was about the person.
Here I tell you where I come from and what matters to me.
A childhood in which no one talked about energies
As a child I never felt different. I did notice that I judged some things differently and dealt with them differently from others. That did not bother me. I did not talk about what I sensed, because no one around me talked about energies or feelings.
At about sixteen I began to look into my perception. Only then did I notice that many people perceive differently from me. Until then I had thought everyone perceived as much as I did. After all, someone who sees a table doesn’t ask anyone whether they have seen the table.
Why I wanted to work differently
As a young man I got to know people who worked with energies and had very different abilities. I noticed that all of them suffered from their gifts in some way. Many were exhausted after a few sessions. They could see two people a day and needed rest afterward.
That is not how I wanted to work. I like to work a lot and did not want to be held back. So I began to observe what I need in order to perceive clearly, without putting my own feelings and my opinion into it. I still remember how proud I was when, for the first time, I was able to give sessions for half a day, from seven in the morning until twelve, and still felt good afterward.
I started with myself
Early on I noticed that I was giving too much. I was too nice, too kind and did not set enough boundaries, and that did not leave me untouched. For a long time I did not find a way that really helped me further. So I looked at my own energy fields and saw that some of them no longer functioned.
At twenty-six came a time in which I began to perceive a great deal, more than I could carry. I stayed at home for three days. Then I decided: stop, or learn to deal with it. I decided to learn and noticed that for this I had to become stronger. Strength has come up again and again in my work ever since.
The wish to pass something on to people also comes from this time. Many don’t perceive their energy fields as finely as I do. What I had understood in myself, I wanted to make accessible to them.
Talent and a lot of practice
Reading energy fields is a strong innate ability in me. On its own it would not have taken me far. The larger part was diligence, curiosity and thousands of hours of practice. When I see a problem, I can only stop once I have understood it.
“All of that was never important to me, because for me it was really always about the person.”
Rico Brunner
What I never worked on is perceiving what someone looks like, where they are right now or what their home looks like. Things like that don’t interest me. What interests me is how a person functions and what they need.
Milestones
- About 16I notice that others perceive differently from me.
- Young yearsI read the collected works of C. G. Jung. What shapes me is how he asked questions.
- 1998I open my practice in St. Gallen.
- The years afterI stop transferring energy and only observe, until I understand how I can work differently. More under My research path.
- 2013My book “Energiefeld-Instandsetzung” is published.
- 2016As a speaker at the HSP congress in Münsingen near Bern, I talk about my work with energy fields.
- 2026I begin to write down my knowledge as a model: Energyology.
What matters to me
- Honesty, even when it is uncomfortable
- Learning and researching, for a lifetime
- Being down-to-earth in my work
- Time for my family and for my own development
How I am when I am not working, I tell in the How I work section under Who I am when I am not working.
Questions that come up often
- Where is your practice?
- In St. Gallen, since 1998.
- Are you a clairvoyant?
- No. I don’t see images and no aura. I call it perception: I perceive how an energy field is built and where it functions or not.
- Have you written a book?
- Yes. “Energiefeld-Instandsetzung” was published in 2013. What I have come to understand further since then, I describe today in the Energyology section.
- How many sessions have you given?
- Over 60,000 since 1998.
Where to go next
How I came to my knowledge through observing is described under My research path. How I work today is described in the section How I work.
