Reiki is a non-religious form of healing shared via conscious human touch. Reiki
means Life Force Energy and was
founded as a modality of natural healing in Japan during the 1800’s. While
education can be attained to professionally facilitate Reiki as a healing
modality, the basic premise resides; Reiki acknowledges the presence of Life-Force
Energy as a naturally occurring means to help heal the mind, body and emotions.
Life Force Energy is exchanged at times of conscious
Human Touch. For example: “With an intention to comfort her, he placed his hand
upon her shoulder.”
