What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word that can be broken up into two parts, namely Rei and Ki, which translated into English means Universal Life Force Energy. Rei refers to the subtle wisdom that guides all of creation and permeates everything, both animate and inanimate.

Ki is the non-physical energy that flows in everything that is alive, from plants to animals and humans. When Ki is high a person feels strong and confident and ready to enjoy life. When Ki is low, a person feels weak and may even get sick. Ki is the Chi of China and the prana of India. To increase Ki one can use breathing exercises, mediation, food, sunshine and sleep.

Reiki as a practice can then be defined as a non-physical healing energy made up of life force energy that is guided by the Higher Intelligence.
