Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction originated in Japan in the early 1900s and was founded and relaxation that also promotes healingtaught by Dr. Makao Usui. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on a technique where the practitioner facilitates the idea that an unseen "life force flow of universal healing energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If oneinto the client'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 healthyenergetic field. There are two main branches of Reiki, commonly referred to as Traditional Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki. Though differences can be wide and varied between both branches and traditions, the primary difference is that Westernised forms use systematised hand-placements rather than relying on an intuitive sense of hand-positions (see below), which is commonly used by Japanese Reiki branches. Both branches commonly have a three-tiered hierarchy of degrees, usually referred to as the First, Second, and Master/Teacher level, all of which are associated with different skills and techniques.
