The name Reiki, pronounced "Ray-key", comes from the Japanese words "rei" meaning spirit, and "ki" meaning energy. It is usually tranlated as "universal life force energy". Reiki is a gentle, noninvasive holistic energy healing system that yeilds powerful results for the body, mind and spirit. When using Reiki to heal, the practioner channels healing energy through her hands to the client either directly or from a distance. It is ideal for use with both people and animals. Reiki can do no harm and is very gentle. It always goes to the source of the problem and always works for the highest good.

Reiki is not a substitute to regular consultation with your medical professional but can work to support an overall health care program.
