Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation of Japanese origin, which also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on of hands” and is based on the idea that there is a “life force energy” flowing through us and maintains our condition of being alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then they are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, they are more capable of being healthy and living in joy.
The word Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words – Rei which means “the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is an energy healing method that is usually done by placing the hands in a series of positions over or slightly above the body. Reiki promotes healing by activating the relaxation response and helping the body to balance itself on a very deep level.
