The word "Reiki" comes from Japanese and is made up of the two syllables "Rei" and "Ki". "Rei" means "universal", "divine" or "spiritual" in the sense of "emanating from the soul", while "Ki" (Qi) is translated as "life energy" or "vitality". Together, "Reiki" means something like "universal life energy" or "divine vitality". It refers to the idea that there is a universal energy that flows through all things and influences our lives and health, and that a Reiki practitioner is able to direct and use this energy to promote healing and relaxation.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that is traced back to Buddhist healing teachings that are over 5,000 years old. It was rediscovered, practiced and taught again in the early 20th century by a Japanese monk named Mikao Usui. As described above, the word "Reiki" means "universal life force energy" or "spiritual energy" and is believed to flow through the hands of the Reiki practitioner to strengthen and assist the recipient in their healing.



During a Reiki session, the recipient lies comfortably dressed on a couch or sits in a chair while the Reiki practitioner places his or her hands on or near the recipient's body. The Reiki practitioner then channels the energy through his or her hands into the recipient's physical and spiritual body.



Reiki is often used for relaxation, stress relief, and to promote general well-being. It is also used as a complement to other medical treatments to aid in the healing process. Many people report positive results and deep relaxation during a Reiki session.
