Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of touch therapy. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words, one Rei which means "universal", and then ki which means "life force or life energy." The two together -"Reiki"- means "universal life energy" and the definition of the universal life energy is something that is in everything that is living. Whether it is an animal or a plant or a person, anything that is alive has that energy and the way that Reiki works is everyone needs a certain amount of that energy in order to be healthy; you need certain balance. When something goes wrong with you, your Reiki is off and you need someone to restore that and that is what the Reiki practitioner does.
