Reiki is a Japanese energy healing art and a complementary therapy based on the principle that everything in the universe consists of energy that flows around and through living beings.

During a session, a Reiki practitioner lightly places their hands on the person, or sometimes just above them, to direct energy and help the body heal itself.

Reiki is a complementary approach used alongside conventional medical interventions, not as a treatment of its own. It does not treat or cure any health conditions
