Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.It is administered by "laying on hands" on or above the body or from a distance and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

The practitioner works over the front and back in a slow progression of hand positions (which connect with the energy centres of the body (chakras) and the nervous system at minimum.) Reiki is accepted by people from many backgrounds and belief systems.
