I feel a bit of a fraud as I am doing this course yet don't know a great deal about reiki - only that it works. My friend has been distance healing me and I get the heat and calmness wash over me. I am going to subject you to some reiki articles from the healing center website where I will be doing my course....
Reiki (pronounced 'Ray-key') is a simple japanese energy-balancing method that is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.
The word Reiki can be translated as universal energy or life force. Rei meaning Universal and Ki meaning energy or life force.
In Japan the word Ki means energy but in China the word Chi is used and in India energy is called Prana. People who practice Tai Chi or Yoga also work with energy to bring balance and harmony through simple movements or breathing techniques.
