Reiki is a Japanese holistic therapy developed by Dr. Usui that provides benefits such as stress reduction, pain relief, relaxation, and personal growth. It works through the human energy field known as the chakra system to heal by raising the vibratory level of the energy field and allowing the life force to flow in a healthy, natural way. Research supports the existence of an unseen energy that flows through and connects all living things, which Reiki can work to balance and clear blockages from.
