What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energetic healing art that works by manipulating the flow of energy (known as ki or chi) in the human body to treat a disease or condition. The predominant form of reiki practiced throughout the world today, also known as Usui reiki, was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. This energy or ki is the life force that flows through all living things. It's undisrupted flow through the meridians (energy circuits) promotes the body's proper growth and development. This biological energy regulates all the body's functions, maintains the organs, and creates and gives motility to the blood.
