Reiki is a simple stress-reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. It originated in Japan during the early 1900s.
Reiki practitioners study and use techniques to cultivate their own internal energy. This gives them the ability to practice healing on themselves and others. A common and widely known technique is when a practitioner lays their hands on or above a person to initiate energy healing.
The word healing refers to regaining harmony and wholeness –physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”.
