What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient hands-on healing art.

Reiki means Universal Life Force. A live, green leaf on a tree has universal life force.  A dead, brown leaf on the ground no longer has universal life force.

“Rei” refers to the outer energy field.

“Ki” refers to those aspects of the energy field which are closer to us and within us and more perceptible to our senses.

The body is surrounded by a field of subtle energies which affect it.  The body contains within it currents of energy which affect it.  When an interaction between these fields can be effected, the ensuing energy movement activates the body’s ability to come into a state of balance and precipitates the natural healing processes.  The interaction between the fields is effected through hands-on-treatment conducted by a person trained in this healing art.
