What is Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing and well-being technique in which a practitioner puts universal life energy at the disposal of someone who has a physical, emotional or other type of ailment in order for them to feel better and/or heal.

Our bodies have the natural ability and capacity to heal themselves by using their own energy.  When there is an accumulation of too many toxins in our body, the latter may not have sufficient energy to heal itself and can fall ill. A Reiki practitioner – who is a chanel for universal life energy – can put at the disposal of the person the energy their body needs in order to start / continue the self-healing process. In this sense, it is not the Reiki practitioner who does the healing, but the body of the person itself, with the assistance of the extra energy made available to it.

A Reiki Practitioner doesn’t have special powers – he/she is merely a chanel for universal life energy; anyone can become a chanel after receiving an initiation and learning to transmit the energy through their hands.
