What is Reiki?

​

Reiki is a form of energy healing that centers on the manipulation of ki, the Japanese version of chi. Rei means spirit in Japanese, so reiki literally means spirit life force. A Japanese healing energy technique for chakra balancing, stress reduction and relaxation. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" (Ki) of the universe flows through us. 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 healing comes from the same root as the word whole. Whole, health,healing,holy… All comes from the same root. To be healed means to be joined with the whole. To be ill means to be disconnected with the whole. An ill person is one who has simply developed blocks between himself and the whole, so something is disconnected. The function of the healer is to reconnect it. But when I say the function of the healer is reconnect it, I don’t mean that the healer has to do something. The healer is just a vehicle, the doer is the whole”
