Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying
on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable
of being happy and healthy.

"life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
