Reiki is a holistic healing practice rooted in Japanese tradition, which focuses on the channeling of universal life energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui, Reiki operates on the principle that this life energy flows through all living beings and can be harnessed to restore balance and harmony. Practitioners use their hands to guide this energy, often through gentle touch or by hovering above the body, to help clear blockages and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. The practice is known for its calming effects, providing a deep sense of relaxation and support for overall health. Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments, aiming to foster a sense of inner peace and holistic wellness.
