"Reiki" is a Japanese word. “Rei” which means “universal energy,” and “ki,” which means “personal energy.” In this safe, simple technique, the practioner grabs the universal life force (rei) through the the crown of the head and pushes it our through the hands to combine with your personal energy (ki). A Reiki treatment allows the recipient to absorb more universal energy to boost your own personal vitality, thus relieving stress, improving your physical health and energy, and creating greater balance in body, mind and soul.
