What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word ultimately meaning "universal life-force energy."  
You may be familiar with its meaning when spoken in Chinese as "Chi" or in Sanskrit as "Prana."

Reiki is a hands on healing modality in which the practitioner serves as a conduit to the energy that surrounds everything we are and do. Everything in our Universe is, in its purest and most basic state, energy. This energy is constantly moving within, around and through us.

We all have the ability to focus the flow of this energy, although in most cases we have lost our connection to it. Reiki reunites us with this ability and increases the flow of energy that passes through us when we place our hands on ourselves or on another with healing intent.
