Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing method. The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words.Rei, meaning Universal or Higher power or intelligence and Ki, meaning Life force energy

So, it can be said that Reiki is in fact the transfer of spiritually guided life force energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. It is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system that  promotes healing on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level.  

The great value of Reiki is that because it is guided by Universal power, it knows exactly where to go and how to respond to restrictions in the flow of Ki. It can work directly in the unconscious parts of the mind/body which contain negative Ki-inhibiting thoughts and feelings and eliminate them. As Reiki flows through a sick or unhealthy area, it breaks up and washes away any negative thoughts or feelings lodged in the unconscious mind/body thus allowing a normal healthy flow of Ki to resume. As this happens, the unhealthy physical organs and tissues become properly nourished with Ki and begin functioning in a balanced healthy way thus replacing illness with health.
