Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It literally means 'universal life energy' in Japanese and is a system of Enlightenment and a Hands on Healing art developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. It is a practice that is passed from Master to student and is based on the belief that, by channeling spiritual energy through the practitioner, the spirit is healed, and the spirit, in turn, heals the physical.
Reiki treats the whole person - body, emotions, mind, and spirit and therefore creates many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. 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 learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion.
