What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Force Energy, the energy that creates and supports all life that is positive, healing and balancing in nature.Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese educator, developed the Usui System of Reiki Healing which is based upon 2500 year-old healing techniques and Buddhist teachings.
