Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that involves the transfer of energy from the practitioner’s hands to the patient’s body, with the aim of promoting healing and relaxation. It is based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things, and that this energy can be manipulated to restore balance and harmony in the body. Reiki is often associated with spiritual practices and is approached differently by various cultures, with some viewing it as a form of energy medicine and others as a spiritual practice for personal growth and transformation.
