Reiki is an energy-healing practice and a complementary, supportive holistic therapy. The word “Reiki” is Japanese for “guided life-force energy.” First, consider that life-force energy is the non-physical aspect of yourself: your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and consciousness.
"Reiki" is Japanese for "guided life-force energy." All living beings, including plants and animals, have life-force energy; it's the essence of being alive.
