Reiki is the Japanese word for “universal life” and is intended to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Reiki is believed to have evolved as a branch of Tibetan Buddhism. According to writings, the secrets of reiki power disappeared until the late 19th century when Japanese theologian Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese scholar and Christian monk, came upon some ancient Sanskrit manuscripts and rediscovered the healing system. Reiki practitioners transmit energy by a light touch, placing their hands gently in specific positions on the body. It is reportedly effective for most emotional, physical and spiritual conditions, including some considered untreatable through conventional medicine. Training through a reiki master includes three levels, usually one weekend each, and includes an apprenticeship.
