"Doing good to others is not a duty, it is a joy, for it increases our own health and happiness."
Zoroaster (Persian Religious Leader)
Reiki [pronounced ray-key] is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, Reiki is administered by laying on hands. However, it is not necessary to actually touch clients. Techniques such as this have been practiced for thousands of years.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion nor dependent upon belief. Reiki will work whether you believe in it or not, because higher realm communication and the energy of healing comes from our Creator. Therefore, Reiki can be defined as spiritually guided life energy. We discover our own individual guidance. The practitioner simply provides the roadmap to find the way and a safe place in which to do so. This is a meaningful interpretation of the word Reiki, and it more closely describes the experience most people have of it.
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words Rei and Ki. Rei is the upper character and Ki is the lower character.
