Reiki (Ray-Key) is aJapanese word that meansuniversal life force means universal, all-knowing, higher power,spirit, essence, or soul.

10 Itmeans the cosmic spiritualenergy that penetrateseverything and is presenteverywhere, from theinfinite galaxies to thesmallest atom. Ki meansbreath or life force and themovement of this vital lifeforce. Ki is comparable toChinese Chi and Hindu Prana. Putting thetwo syllables of the word together, we candefine Reiki as spiritually guided life forceenergy. Reiki is the term usually used to identifythe Usui System of healing, named after MikaoUsui who rediscovered the method after manyyears of research and meditation. TraditionalUsui Reiki is the basis of all other varieties ofReiki. The Reiki practitioner is a channel of the lifeforce energy that flows from an unlimitedsource. By placing hands on the recipient thisenergy is transferred from the source throughthe practitioner to the recipient to promotehealing on all levels: physical, emotional,mental and spiritual.
