Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the use of energy to balance and restore the body’s natural energy systems. The word “Reiki” is derived from two Japanese words: “rei,” which means “universal life force,” and “ki,” which means “energy.”
Reiki is based on the idea that there is a universal energy that flows through all living things and that this energy can be accessed and channeled by a practitioner to promote healing and relaxation. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands on or near the client’s body in a series of hand positions, allowing the energy to flow into the client’s body.
Reiki is often used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and alleviate pain and other physical or emotional symptoms. It is considered a complementary therapy and is often used in conjunction with other medical treatments.
Reiki allegedly aids relaxation, assists in the body’s natural healing processes, and develops emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
