Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that is becoming increasingly
popular worldwide. The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through
all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health
has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The

scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role
it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life
Energy, that is in and around everything. Reiki affects all levels of
body, mind, and spirit. Reiki accelerates the body's natural ability
to heal and opens the mind and spirit to the cause of disease,
disharmony, and pain.
What makes Reiki unique is that it incorporates elements of just
about every other alternative healing practices such as spiritual
healing, auras, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy,
naturopathy, and homeopathy. Reiki involves the transfer of energy

within the body. It is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing
system that touches on all levels: body, mind, and spirit....
