Reiki means “universal life force energy”. It is a Japanese healing practice that originated in the early 20th century and is used to promote balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. The ideology behind Reiki is that there is a universal life force energy and practitioners who are attuned to Reiki can channel this energy to help others.

While it is not a substitute for medical treatment, Reiki can be used as a complementary therapy.
