Reiki means “Universal Life Energy”. It is an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow in the body.
This healing technique may reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and lessen pain through light (or no) touch.
It is used to guide energy throughout the body and promotes a person’s self-healing abilities.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It is based on the idea that we all have an unseen “Life Force Energy” that flows through our bodies. A Reiki practitioner gently moves their hands just above or on the clients clothed body with the intention of reducing stress and promoting healing by encouraging a healthy flow of energy.
Reiki Therapy is a way of guiding energy throughout the body to promote the recipient’s self-healing abilities. The practitioner is only the channel for the healing energy. The word “Reiki” is a combo of two Japanese words: “Rei” which means “God’s wisdom” or “the Higher Power” and “Ki” which means “Life Force Energy”.
“Ki is the Life Force Energy that animates all living things”.
Put together, “Rei” and “Ki” mean “spiritually guided life force”.
