Reiki is a therapy that was developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist. The practitioners of this therapy use the technique of palm healing. Here they place their hand on the affected area of the body and pass the universal energy through it. This is said to enhance the healing of both the physical body and the mind. It reduces stress and tension from the body and helps it function more efficiently.

The term ‘Rei’ means higher power and ‘ki’ means life force energy. This form of therapy promotes relaxation, reduces depression and anxiety. It is also said to help relieve shoulder, wrist or back pains. Studies have also proved that Reiki can help in decreasing the pain, tiredness, and anxiety that are associated with cancer.
