What is Reiki and where does it come from?
The practice of Reiki is a Japanese technique of meditation that causes a feeling of deep relaxation. When the body is in a fully relaxed state, all healing can take place. The word Reiki is composed from two Japanese words, Rei and Ki. Rei can be described as a higher intelligence that guides us and Ki is the non-physical energy that animates all living things. Together, Reiki has been described as a "Spiritually guided life-force energy." It is not a religion. It is a form of healing using the energy around us.
