The word Reiki is a Japanese word meaning spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki provides healing through gentle touch in which energy is transferred from the practitioner to the recipient. The practitioner is simply a channel of universal life force energy that flows from an unlimited source, not from the practitioner. Reiki is increasingly being used as part of integrative medicine in hospitals, clinics, and private practice.

For more information regarding the use of Reiki to treat psychological disorders, please consult The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Reiki is not affiliated with any specific religion. Both Reiki and spirituality focus on self-care. One way to think of Reiki is as a spiritual practice that complements any particular faith to promote physical and emotional well-being.
