What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing. The word Reiki originates from the Japanese word Rei (Universal Life) and Ki (Energy). It is a holistic, natural, hands-on healing modality which utilizes specific techniques for restoring and balancing the energy within the body.  This practice is not  affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice.   Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy in and around the body can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
