Reiki is a holistic Japanese healing practice that works with the body's natural energy. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "Rei" meaning "universal" and "Ki" meaning "life energy" or "vital energy." So, Reiki is often described as "universal life energy."
This energy flows through all living things. When it is low or blocked, stress, imbalance or even illness can result. During a Reiki session, a practitioner uses light touch or holds their hands over the body to help channel the energy. The goal is to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and encourage the body's own natural healing processes.
