The Reiki process is a simple method of hands-on healing as developed by Mikao Usui, a monk from Kyoto, Japan. Reiki energy flows through the body to the hands of the Reiki healer and transfers into the cells of the person receiving the treatment. This energy is then used to normalize body functions and helps to reestablish balance and harmony in the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes.
