Reiki is a Japanese technique for, relaxation stress reduction, and it also promotes healing.  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".  Combined then, Reiki means "spiritually guided life force energy."   If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick (Dis-ease), to be stressed and feel the effects of it.  That being said if it's high, we are more likey to be happy and healthy.

 

Its use is not dependent on one's spiritual development or religious beliefs, and therefore is available to everyone.  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 recieve Reiki.
