"Reiki" is a Japanese word composed of "rei" (Universal energy, essence) and "ki" (life force). It is a gentle energy that stimulates the genuine abilities of the body to heal itself whilst relieving nervous tension and compensating for accumulations or lack of energy.
The practitioner does not transmit his own energy, but channeling the surrounding life force (bio energy). This technic can only be transmited by a genuine Reiki Master who received himself the initiation from a master in the line of Mikao Usui, Buddhist priest, who developped this art of self healing. There are a few Reiki practices, as Reiki technics are evolving, however, Reiki Usui Teate is the original way of Reiki energy transmission.

A Reiki session lasts around 1 hour and is practiced dressed up on a massage table.
