Reiki (Ray-Key) is a Japanese healing technique. It is used to increase energy, reduce stress, prevent illness and promote healing.

Reiki is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki can be performed on yourself or by others.
