REIKI is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It is administered by "laying on hands" (over clothing) and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.  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.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".  So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy".

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.  Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include deep relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.  Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural, safe method of spiritual healing.  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.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion.  It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn or use Reiki, it will work whether you believe in it or not.
