Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. The word “Reiki” is a combination of two Japanese words: Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy that animates all living things”.
