REIKI Reiki - pronounced "ray-key" - is a form of hands-on therapy used to treat both the body and its emotions. It is a centuries-old healing practice that originated in Tibet and Japan and was introduced to the West in the 19th century. Physical elements of Reiki are reflected in its name. "Reiki" is translated from the Japanese from "rei" for "universal" and "ki" for "life force". The Chinese word for "Ki" is "Qi" or "Chi". Reiki works on the premise that the human body is composed of seven major energy centers called chakras. These are located in a line from the top of the head to the feet, corresponding to the endocrine system. Reiki, in the same way that poor circulation can lead to illness, pain, and disease, practices that energy too can become stuck and lead to physical ailments. A person trained in Reiki works to unblock "stuck" energy from these areas, thereby promoting healing.
