'''Reiki''' is an alternative healing art focusing on balancing [[human]] [[qi|energy fields]]. The word Reiki comes from the [[Japanese]] words Rei (Meaning spirit) and [[Chi|Ki]] (Meaning energy) There are several forms of Reiki, however the most common are Usui and Kundalini. Of these, Usui Reiki is the oldest school of thought.
A uniting factor is that practitioners are able to run energy and therefore practice Reiki immediately after being attuned by a Reiki Master. Attunements consist of a ceremony in which the main energy line is reopened by the use of several symbols. Due to fear of misuse of energy by others, Reiki Masters tend to keep the exact method of attuning secret.
