Is it Reiki or REKI?
Reiki (/ˈreɪki/ RAY-kee; Japanese: 霊気) is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which, according to practitioners, a "universal energy" is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient, to encourage emotional or physical healing.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Reiki is not a religion. It holds no Doctrines, Creeds or contraditions to the Universal Laws of Consciousness and Love. No matter where a person is in their life, Reiki energy comes from the God-Source and is an extremely powerful healing energy.
Reiki: A Japanese Technique for Wellbeing
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. 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 treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and a general overall feeling of well-being.
