Reiki is a healing practice that originated in Japan. Reiki practitioners place their hands lightly on or just above the person receiving treatment, with the goal of facilitating the person’s own healing response. In the United States, Reiki is part of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).
Reiki is generally practiced as a form of self-care. Reiki can be received from someone else and may be offered in a variety of health care settings, including medical offices, hospitals, hospices, and clinics. It can be practiced on its own or along with other CAM therapies or conventional medical treatments.
Research on Reiki has generally focused on symptom management or well-being. https://innergyhealingarts.com/learn-reiki
