What Is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing technique that originated in Japan. The word “Reiki” means “universal life force energy.” This practice involves the transfer of energy through the hands of a trained practitioner to promote balance and healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.


During a Reiki session, the client remains fully clothed and can either sit or lie down in a comfortable and relaxing environment. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, allowing energy to flow where it is most needed. Reiki works by clearing energy blockages, supporting the body’s natural healing processes, and promoting a state of deep relaxation and well-being.
