Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us, sustaining life. The word “Reiki” combines two Japanese words: “Rei” (meaning “God’s Wisdom” or “Higher Power”) and “Ki” (referring to “life force energy”). So, Reiki is “spiritually" guided life force energy. During a Reiki session, a practitioner lays hands on or near the recipient, allowing the energy to flow. The experience often feels like a glowing radiance, creating relaxation, peace, and well-being. Reiki is simple to learn. Students receive an “attunement” from a Reiki master, granting access to an unlimited supply of life force energy for self-improvement and healing. While spiritual, Reiki is not a religion. It has no dogma and works regardless of belief.
