reiki information

Reiki is a form of spiritual healing which emerged in the early 20th century in Japan.   Reiki is defined as a complementary healing art for the treatment of body, mind and emotional conditions.  Reiki Practitioners called Reiki Masters use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which they say will channel "healing energy" through their palms to bring about healing for themselves or others.  Proponents of Reiki believe in a universal life force energy which can be accessed by practitioners and believers to induce a healing effect.  The Reiki Master uses this healing energy to activate or enhance the natural healing processes of an individual through their own so-called powers which are assisted by the “intention” and beliefs of their patient.
