Reiki
Pronounced Ray-ki is a Japanese word, which translates to Universal Life Force Energy. Its origins have been discovered in ancient India (writings) and in Tibet dating back over thousands of years. Transmitted through the hands the flow of Reiki energy is perceived in a variety of ways: heat, chill, tingling, pulsing or vibrations. It is a gentle and safe treatment and can be used in conjunction with any medication, naturopathy, massage or other treatments enhancing greater health.
