What is Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic healing technique that originated in Japan in the late 19th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei," which means universal, and "ki," which means life energy or vital force. Together, Reiki can be translated as "universal life energy."
​
At its core, Reiki is based on the belief that energy flows within us and around us, and when this energy is blocked or depleted, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances. By channeling and directing this universal life energy through their hands, Reiki practitioners can help remove blockages and restore balance to the recipient's energy system.
