Reiki is often described as energy healing, which is accurate but tells you almost nothing. In practice it is closer to a contemplative discipline — the practitioner becomes a clear channel, the hands become an instrument, and what flows through is allowed to do its work without interference.
The simplicity is misleading. To hold steady presence over a treatment, without expectation and without strain, is harder than it looks. The training is real. The results, in the right hands, are quiet and unmistakable.
