What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle, non-invasive techniques, including light or no-touch methods. Reiki improves the natural flow of life force energy, activating the body's natural ability to heal.
Originating in the early 1900s, Reiki is a Japanese term combining "rei," meaning "universal," and "ki," referring to “life force energy” that naturally flows through all living things.
