There is a universal omnipresent life force energy that can be found in every living person and thing on this earth. It is known under many different names in different cultures. What western philosophy calls “vital energy,” it is called “ki” in Japanese, “chi” in Chinese culture, “prana” in Hindu, “ruh” in Arabic, and “mana” in the Polynesian culture. For thousands of years, people all over the world have been connecting to this flow of pure, omniscient & ever-present energy through modalities like Reiki, Tai Chi, Feng Shui, meditation, yoga, and acupuncture. With the aid of Kirlian photography, this life force energy can be seen & documented.

While Reiki is not a religion, and does not need the recipient or practitioner to believe in any type of religious belief system, Mikao Usui, the founder of the reiki system, it is still beneficial to adhere to the five principles of Reiki.
