Reiki is a form of Japanese spiritual healing.
It has its original form however in ancient Tibetin Buddhism.
The Reiki practitioner draws on Reiki energy and sends it to areas of need in the patient.
Reiki practitioners claim that Reiki acts at an atomic level causing the bodies molecules to vibrate and thus dissolving energy blocks.
The founder of Reiki was Japanese theologian Dr. Mikao Usui.
Usui claims that Reiki came to him in a vision.
Reiki is a Japanese word derived from rei(universal) and ki(life energy).
It is believed that Usui rediscovered and reinterpreted ancient healing practises of Tibetin Buddhism.
Reiki practitioners attune their physical and spiritual bodies according to ancient and secret symbols revealed to initiates over three stages.
Patients are asked what the practitioner should treat but because Reiki works for the higher good it does not necessarily offer a cure.
A session lasts between about 30 to 60 minutes.
You lie fully clothed on a table where the practitioner holds his hands on or over your body in twelve different positions for around five minutes each.
Reiki may also be practised as a form of absent healing.
