What is Reiki?

 🌿 Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that focuses on channeling energy to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

✨ What Reiki Means

- The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:  

  - Rei(霊) meaning “universal” or “spiritual wisdom”  

  - Ki (気) meaning “life force energy”  

- Together, Reiki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy”.

 👐 How It Works

- A Reiki practitioner gently places their hands on or just above the body.

- The goal is to transfer universal energy to the recipient, helping to clear energy blockages and restore balance.

- Sessions typically last 45–90 minutes and are done in a calm, peaceful setting.

🌈 Reported Benefits

- Deep relaxation and reduced stress

🧘‍♀️ Is It a Religion?

- Reiki is not a religion and doesn’t require any specific beliefs to be effective.

- It’s often described as a complementary therapy, meaning it can be used alongside medical or psychological treatments.
