Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing that works as a complementary therapy. The word ''Reiki'' comes from 'rei' which means universal, and 'ki' which means vital energy (pronounced as ''chi''). A Reiki practitioner aims to re-align the patient's energetic fields in and around their body. Through the channeling of universal energy, the practitioner removes the stagnation, helps the flow of energy - and thus assists at a physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual level.

In a healthy body, energy flows freely. However, during physical or emotional trauma, energy can stagnate in regions of the body, that long term can materialize into illness. Thus, by promoting the flow of energy, Energy Medicine aims to allow relaxation, alleviate pain, and reduce symptoms of illness.  Reiki is readily available to anyone interested and willing to receive it, including healthy people, as it optimizes health and well-being.
