Two Japanese words merge to create the word REIKI.  Rei means universal and in this context implies spiritual consciousness.  Ki means life energy.  Pronounced rey-key.   The International Reiki Center ultimately defines Reiki as "spiritually guided life energy".  I find this definition particularly useful since it reveals one of the most wonderful aspects of Reiki healing, the practioner does not direct the energy, but simply acts as a channel for Reiki energy to facilitate healing.

Experience Reiki as a deeply relaxing healing session that restores your energy and puts a spring in your step, or as a life altering, uplifting practice should you decide to learn and share Reiki.

The secret art of inviting happiness...
The miraculous medicine of all diseases...

Just for today, do not be angry,
do not worry and
be filled with gratitude.
Devote yourself to your work
and be kind to people.
