Reiki consists of 2 Japanese words, ‘rei’ and ‘ki’, where ‘rei’ means universal or spiritual and ‘ki’ means energy.” Simply, reiki is all about using universal/cosmic energy to heal people by making them feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Additionally, It is considered as a form of therapy done using different hand or palm positions, having gentle or placing hand on a person’s body. Whereas, the reason behind that idea is some people believe that there is some kind of special energy flowing through us. If this energy gets messed up it might cause problems like feeling unwell, stress, anxiety etc. 

Further more, you can simply imagine reiki as a powerful energy cleaner that goes inside you like a gentle broom for all your feeling and old baggage. Subsequently, It will help you to sweep away all the reasons like emotional heaviness past stuff, karmic blockage, and other harmful things from your body. As a result, this special energy can bring relief, clear your mind, and help you feel better.

 Mikao Usui  developed Reiki in the 1920s. He served as a Japanese Buddhist monk and spiritual teacher. One day he went to mount Koriyama in Japan for a 3-week period of meditation and fasting. During his time there, he attained enlightenment and realized that he could heal people by utilizing a type of energy that surrounds . In essence, his journey marked the starting of Reiki to help other feel better and heal others through special energy.
