Reiki is a spiritual practice based on belief in the existence of universal vital energy "Ki", manipulable by laying on of hands.
The word Reiki means "mysterious atmosphere" and it's a combination of two Japanese characters - KING which means "divine" and KI which means "vital energy".
The Reiki Practitioner Believes Power channel the energy through your higher cognitive centers, radiating it through your hands to the receiver through the laying on of hands in the form of two shells, restoring the natural balance between body, mind and spirit.
This rebalancing, according to "Reikians", activates the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki is considered by its practitioners as a holistic therapy that brings spiritual, mental, emotional and physical healing.
According to Reiki concepts, this form of energy is inexhaustible and anyone can access it through an attunement process performed by a Reiki master.
Despite the personal reports of effectiveness presented by its practitioners, there is no scientific evidence of the existence of the concept of "Ki", on which Reiki is based.
The practice of Reiki as a form of therapy is not recognized by medicine or science, as its health care benefits are not scientifically proven.
