What is Reiki?
First, what Reiki is NOT. It is not a replacement for medical advice, treatment, procedures, nor medications.
Reiki, in the simplest of terms, is energy. The word REIKI comes from the Japanese REI (Universal Life) and KI (Energy). KI is similar to QI (Chinese philosophy & medicine - life force), and PRANA (Sanskrit - breath, life-giving force). Reiki is the life energy that flows through all things. Your practitioner is a conduit for life force energy to flow into you.
The practice of Reiki is to promote spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.
