Reiki is a natural energy healing system which releases physical and emotional blockages in the body's energy system thereby gently releasing past negative patterns and enabling clients to heal themselves.The purpose of Reiki is to treat holistically rather than any specific disorders and to restore the body's natural balance. Reiki is an effective simple way of tapping into universal energy and transferring it to the client to stimulate the client's own intuitive and natural healing potential. The healer acts as a channel, connecting to universal energy while the client's soul draws the energy and uses it for their own good and restoring balance to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy systems of the body. . 

In Japanese Reiki (ray-kee) means universal (rei) free passage. The meaning of Ki is universal life-force energy. For example the Polynesian Huna call this life force Mana, the Native American Iroquois people call it Orenda. In India it is known as Prana, Ruach in Hebrew, Barraka in the Islamic countries. This is the same energy that the Chinese call Chi, as in Tai Chi. This energy is indirectly available to us from air, sunlight, earth food, water and unconditional love.
