Reiki is a healing practice originally from Japan, derived from the spiritual and healing work of Mikao Usui during the 1920's.  It's name means "Universal Life Force."  Reiki treatment supports and accelerates all healing processes, and tends to balance and relax the whole system.  Reiki allows the whole person to resonate with their highest functional potential.  Certain Reiki practices are particularly suited for mind-body balancing.  Reiki can be received as a treatment, and can be taught for self-treatment.
