What is reiki?
Reiki means Universal Life Force. In common usage, reiki is a therapy that is safe, gentle and effective.
How does reiki work?
Reiki is an energy blockage release system. The Practitioner directs the flow of reiki, through his hands. The hands may make light contact with the client's body; or may simply hover near the client. There is no preasuure or manipulation of the body. Massage is not used.
How is reiki used?
Reiki is useful for releasing pain and stress. There is no medical diagnosis. Specific medical conditions are not treated.

The head of this lineage, Barbara W. Ray, Ph.D.; was the last of the 22 Reiki Masters trained by Hawayo Takata.
The instructors of the Barbara Ray lineage, continue to insist that only they have the complete reiki system taught by Hawayo Takata. There was a time when I believed this.
Note: This reiki lineage is a seven degree system. The other reiki lineages are three degree systems. I do not know the content or source of the additional material.
