Reiki (ray-key) is a natural healing method of Japanese origin. The term Reiki is composed of two words -- rei, meaning “spiritual wisdom,” and ki, meaning “life force energy.” The essential concept means “spiritually-guided life force energy.” Reiki works by channeling energy into the chakras, or energy centers of the body. The chakras regulate the flow of energy throughout the body and spirit. Stress, poor wellness hygiene, and the human experience can cause the chakras to become clogged or unbalanced. Reiki clears and opens the chakras, helping them to dispel of toxic energy and take in healing energy.
