What Is Reiki? A Healing Practice to Start Fresh
Reiki, meaning “universal life energy,” is a Japanese energy-healing practice developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on physical manipulation, Reiki channels energy to promote balance and healing. Starting the New Year with Reiki is like pressing a reset button for your mind and body.
