Reiki is an energetic nourishment. The Kanji character for “Ki” is made up of two parts, one meaning “cloud” or “ethereal” and the other meaning “rice”. We could think of Reiki as “ethereal food” from a spiritual source. It promotes relaxation, detoxification and a healthy overall balance within body, mind, soul and spirit. When Reiki is being given and received, it fosters an awareness of the life force that connects us all and all life on Earth.
