Reiki; what is it?
        In Short, Reiki is "Universal Energy Passed Between Us"

Yes, my title is "Reiki Master" by I feel like anything but a "Master". I still have everything left to "Master".  I believe there are many levels above the Reiki Master who always is, and will always be, a learning practitioner. 

Reiki is a natural for stress reduction and promoting healing.  It's administered by the laying on of hands and based on the ideas of an unseen "Life Force Energy" that flows through each of us.  This energy is what causes us to be alive; it's the very essence of what we are. 

If this "Life Force Energy" is low then we are more likely to get sick or fell stress.  If our "Life Force Energy" is high we are more capable of being healthy, happy, and stress free. 

There is a direct coalition between how much of this "Life Force Energy" is flowing through you and how you feel emotionally, mentally, physically, & spiritually.

A Reiki Practitioner can channel this guided "Life Force Energy" through a gentle hands on technique.  It's a simple loving touch laying on of the hands.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and around you.  Reiki treats the "whole person" including the body, emotions, mind, and sprit.  It creates many beneficial effects including relaxation,  felling of peace, security, & wellbeing.

When we understand and know how to channel these "Life Force Energies" into our bodies, and into the people whom we choose to work on, total well being and health can and will result. 

As you see Reiki combines the forces of Rei and Ki into a powerful & tangible tool for healing that can be defined as "Universal Life Force Energy" or "Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy".  To simplify my life when people ask me, "what does Reiki mean?" my answer is always "Universal Life Force Energy".

All forms of discomfort and disease can be traced to blockages of the "Life Force Energy" In the physical body, as well as the other dementias of the mind, emotion, and sprit.  These discomforts can then manifest themselves in something as simple as a headache or stomachache to a more severe illness.   

Reiki is from 2 Japanese words:

Rei, meaning:
Divine wisdom,  A Higher Power that encompasses a natural understanding of the root of all inbalances and what is needed to correct them.  There is an intelligence to this energy, call it God Force, Prime Creator, Device Force or whatever your personal belief system supports.  This Divinely created energy really knows what it is and what it's doing.  "That" is the miracle of this.  The energy knows; always remember that the energy it's self always knows when thinking of Reiki.

Ki, meaning:
The Life Force Energy that is in our bodies.  All living things throughout the universe have this Life Force Energy.  Plants, animals, Humans, etc… This energy gives us out physical & spiritual life, our emotions and thoughts.  Every culture has a name for it, Chi, Prana, Mona, and the list is endless, and it's all the same thing Ki or "Life Force Energy" it's everywhere.
