REIKI

Reiki is an ancient healing practice with its roots in Japan, that was developed by Mikao Usui.

It is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on healing method to use on yourself or with others, that uses spiritual energy to treat imbalances without using pressure, manipulation, or massage. It is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonizing all aspects of the person: body, mind, emotions, energetic, and spirit. Hands are placed on or off the body by the practitioner when meeting in person. Reiki can also be done in the distance.

The Japanese word reiki means spiritual energy.

The word is divided in two parts, two kanji:

Rei (lit.Japanese) means spiritual. Also translated as “spirit” “ soul” or “sacred”

Ki: (lit.Japanese) means energy. It is the life force energy that flows through every living thing.
Outside of Japan Reiki has often been translated as “Universal Energy” or “Universal Life Force Energy”, but this translation refers only to the second kanji .

I have chosen the older kanji for Reiki on the left. There is also a modern kanji for the word Reiki.
