What is Reiki and How Does it Work?

The word Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Spirit or Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki uses the unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve overall health and quality of life.

Reiki energy is activated with the “awakening” and “opening” of the healing channels within all of us. This activation allows Life Force Energy, to flow through the body charging the affected parts with positive energy. The energy flows through the practitioner to the client clearing and balancing any blocked energy centers (Chakras).
