According to the 'International Center for Reiki Training' Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation thus promoting healing. It comes from two Japanese words Rei which means "God's wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki means 'spiritually guided life force energy'.
Reiki is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress.
Most say that a treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It treats the whole person, the body, emotions, mind and spirit . Many benefits include relaxation, feelings of peace, security and well being. Reiki is natural, safe and healing.
