REIKI FAQs

What is Reiki?

• Reiki, pronounced "ray-key," is a traditional Japanese healing method originating from the early 20th century. The term stems from two Japanese words: "rei," signifying universal, and "ki," representing life energy or vital force. Essentially, Reiki embodies the concept of "universal life energy."

• Fundamentally, Reiki operates on the premise that this universal life energy permeates all living beings. The objective is to harmonize and replenish the recipient's energy flow, fostering relaxation, alleviating stress, and facilitating healing across physical, emotional, and spiritual realms.
