If you're looking for some good basic information about Reiki then you've got off at the right stop.
When we tell people that we practise Reiki - most of them nod knowingly. Sensing their interest we get a little carried away with talking about it until... we realise we lost them way back at the very beginning. And when we manage a pause, their first question is, "Actually, I've heard of Reiki - but what is it exactly?".
Those of you who are curious may wish to go immediately to What is (and isn't) Reiki? This is aimed to inform the general public, and hopefully be educational for Reiki practitioners too, about many of the myths that have sprung up around the system. It also clarifies the very basic question of 'What is Reiki?".
There is also a Frequently Asked Questions page where we share with you some of the answers we offer to questions we receive through the website.

The actual word, Reiki, is often used in two very different ways - sometimes it relates to the system and at other times it is used to mean the energy only. This can cause confusion so we explain that clearly for anyone getting mighty confused out there.
So, where is Reiki Today? What does it mean to 'do' Reiki today and who is teaching it? We've taken this a step forward with a page on the branches of Reiki - explaining a little of their development and what the International House of Reiki teaches and why.
We take a look at some scientific data that has been released about Reiki and offer some links for you to follow that up further.
