The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” which means “universal,” and “ki,” which means “life energy” or “vital energy.” Reiki practitioners believe that this life energy flows through all living things and can be channeled to promote healing.

Energy permeates the entire universe, encompassing everything within it, from living beings like humans, animals, and plants to inanimate objects such as mountains and stones. Surprisingly, even stones possess energy, although it may not be readily apparent. This energy, though intangible, is infinite and pervasive, influencing our lives in profound ways. Science is now unveiling the profound impact of this energy in our lives, yet ancient wisdom has long embraced its presence. Known as Chi, Ki, or Prana in different spiritual traditions, this universal life force serves as the very foundation of countless healing arts and practices.
