What Is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounce ray-key) is an ancient healing system in which one transmits healing energy through the laying on of hands or sending energy at a distance. Reiki is a Japanese word which translates into "universal life energy". Even though this energy is within and sustains all human beings, stress, poor diets, unhealthy habits, pollutants, and disease can cause the energy to become disordered and blocked.


Reiki is performed by the laying of hands where the hands are placed on or above the body in an orderly sequence with special attention to the areas of discomfort and imbalance. Reiki is different from most energy healing systems in that it only requires an Attunement (relaxing the conscious mind to allow the subconscious and superconscious mind to connect to a higher plane of awareness) which is facilitated by a Reiki master. Attunements last for life but the more you use Reiki the more effective it becomes on all levels. Reiki works on the cause rather than the effect of a disease or ailment.


Reiki is a simple, natural, effective, and holistic healing and development system for people, pets, wildlife, and plants. Medical schools and hospitals are using Reiki. Laboratories around the world have tested and retested energy healers and found them to be astounding. Anyone can be attuned to Reiki.


Reiki connects you to the unlimited abundance of universal energy. In using Reiki you become a member of a caring group of people who take part in constructive, healing activities to make this world a better place to live.
