What is Reiki?Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing practice, not affiliated with any religion, re-discovered by the honorable Dr. Mikao Usui. In the West, Reiki is best described as a healing technique used to channel energy into the body means of touch, to activate its’ natural healing processes and restore physical and emotional well-being.The word Reiki, is a fusion of the two Japanese words Rei and Ki. Rei meaning divine or higher intelligence; and Ki meaning universal life force energy. Therefore, Reiki can be defined as divine conscious life force energy.  Please note that Reiki is not the same as simple life force energy (Ki). Reiki is conscious energy guided by the Divine. It cannot be influenced, misused, or limited by the practitioner. Whereas Ki, (simple life force energy) can be influenced, and is subject to the intention, limitations, and abilities of the practitioner. This means that no matter the circumstance, a certified Reiki practitioner will always provide safe and effective healing to the areas of the body that need it most.About Tralisa:Tralisa, known in the spiritual community as Oriyomi Ekundayo Osundare, is a scholar, educator, and healer located in Baltimore County Maryland.
