Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing founded in the early twentieth century by Mikao Usui. The actual word, “Reiki” is composed of 2 Japanese words, ‘Rei’ and ‘Ki’. An exact translation is not easy, although it is generally translated as 'Universal Life Energy'. It is a technique for relaxation and stress reduction that also promotes healing. In this article from Becoming Aware, based in Eastbourne, and owned by Karen Hoad who has been a Reiki Master for 15 years, we look into the benefits of learning Reiki.
