Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy-based wellness practice
that encourages relaxation, calmness and a sense of inner balance.
The word Reiki is commonly understood as a
combination of two Japanese words:
Rei, referring broadly to universal or spiritual,
and Ki, meaning life energy.
In a traditional Reiki session, a practitioner uses a series
of gentle hand positions, either lightly placed on the body
or held just above it, with the intention of supporting the
recipient's relaxation and overall sense of wellbeing.
Reiki does not require any particular religious belief or
spiritual background. People may experience it simply as a
quiet opportunity to pause, relax and reconnect with themselves.
