The inevitable question when discovering Reiki for the first time is - What is it? At its most basic, it is a subtle method for moving the energy which flows through all living beings. The word Reiki means universal life energy.

Once we accept that we are all made up of energy, it is a little easier to accept that our energy flow can be worked on for a general or specific benefit. After all, we readily accept that our physical body can be worked on by, for example, a physiotherapist to achieve a physical benefit, so why not something less tangible - energy?
