Understanding Reiki
Reiki is a form of alternative medicine known as energy healing; it was used by Tibetan Monks thousands of years ago and rediscovered and made mainstream by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 1920s in Japan.
A Reiki session is practiced by hands placed lightly on or just above the body; or through long distance energy work - connecting to your personal energy body and sending Reiki energy (qi ("chi")) from a distant location to anywhere you are in the world.
