Reiki is easy to learn and use and is getting some notice from the traditional medical community.
Most commonly ,the word Reiki refers to a simple hands-on healing technique which was rediscovered in the 19th Century by Dr Mikao Usui .
Dr Usui was born on August 15th in 1865 in Yago, part of the Yamagata district of Japan.
He chose the term Reiki to describe Universal Life Force Energy which calms the mind and raises the person's life force. ( Explained later on)
Through the use of soothing hands placed on the body in certain positions, the process of healing is accelerated. This form of healing is passed on from the Teacher to the student through mystic initiations (like in Tantrik form of Buddhism) known as Attunements.
