Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a type of therapy that originated in Japan from Mikao Usui in 1922. At its core, Reiki is all about using energy to help heal the body and mind. It is both a healing and spiritual practice.
The word "Reiki" itself is made up of two Japanese words: "rei," which means universal, or vital-life force and "ki," which means life energy. Put together, Reiki means universal life-force or vital life-force energy.
Aside from the energy itself, Reiki, as a practice, combines a multitude of techniques and practices, including meditations, contemplations, energy techniques and hands-on Reiki therapy itself to utilise Reiki as an energy to heal the body and mind and foster greater spiritual connection.
