Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century, founded by Mikao Usui. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning universal, and "Ki," meaning life force energy. So, Reiki is often described as the "universal life force energy."
Reiki is non-invasive and focuses on channeling healing energy to help the body and mind restore harmony and health. The practice involves the transfer of energy from the practitioner to the recipient through gentle touch or by simply holding the hands near the body.
By using Reiki, the practitioner aims to help restore balance to the body and mind, promote relaxation, and encourage the body's natural healing processes.
People who receive Reiki often report a sense of calm, peace, and comfort.
