Reiki is a philosophy and healing method originated in Japan for the purpose of maintaining healthful flow of Chi, bringing together physical, mental and emotional balance.  It is calming, relaxing, and easy to perform on yourself and other beings, including animals and plants. The feeling of this waveform of energy is described in Gendai Reiki Ho as "the energy of love harmony, and healing that resonates with human consciousness or spiritual awareness."
