Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
