Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing where I place my hands lightly on or above your body to support relaxation, ease stress, and encourage your natural ability to heal. It’s simple, safe, and suitable for anyone who’s curious about calming their mind and nurturing their spirit. Here’s a clear, grounded explanation of what Reiki is, based on reputable sources and the most up‑to‑date information available.
✨ What Reiki is
Reiki is a Japanese energy‑healing practice focused on relaxation, stress reduction, and supporting overall well‑being. Practitioners place their hands lightly on or just above the body with the intention of guiding what they describe as universal life‑force energy.
Reiki
The word comes from:
- Rei — “higher power” or “universal”
- Ki — “life‑force energy”
Together, Reiki is often translated as “spiritually guided life‑force energy.”
