Reiki
A spiritual healing art deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. The very word "Reiki" reveals its essence: (Rei), meaning "Universal Life," and (Ki), meaning "Energy." It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free-flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
