What is Reiki?
Reiki is a very simple yet powerful technique that can be learnt by anyone. To learn Reiki, one has to be attuned to Reiki by a Reiki Master. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki. Rei means Universal and Ki denotes the Life Force.
Where did Reiki originate?
Reiki was prevalent during the times of the Buddha. Although Reiki is nowadays known as the Japanese Art of Touch and Heal, it actually originated in India. Being long forgotten, it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan, who found the key to this ancient technique from Sanskrit texts on Buddhism.
